I believe that many people are very envious of people born in the royal family, thinking that they have no worries about food and clothing since they were young, and they have reached out to open their mouths, but everyone sees their superficial scenery. The deceit among the royals is no less risky than on the battlefield. For example, the nine sons of the Qing Dynasty seized the concubine, which was particularly tragic. After the fourth brother Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he carried out a bloody suppression and purging of his main political enemy, the Eight Brothers, and even his brother The FourteenTh Brother was assigned to guard the imperial tomb. Then, after Qianlong ascended to the throne, how did he treat his brothers? Today Xiaobian will introduce it to you.
The Yongzheng Emperor had ten sons, but only the third son of the Emperor, Hongshi, the fourth son of the Emperor, Hongli, the fifth son of the Emperor, and Hongyao, the sixth son of the Emperor, were the eldest sons. Since Hongyao was only two years old when the Yongzheng Emperor died, he was not a threat to Qianlong. Because he was relatively close to the Eight Ye Party, he was expelled from the Yongzheng Emperor in the fifth year of Yongzheng and died of depression. All that was left was Hongday, which was a few hours away from Qianlong. Then how did Hongzhi get rid of Qianlong's suspicions about him?
First of all, he made enemies with hundreds of officials to dispel Qianlong's doubts. Among Yongzheng's only remaining sons, only Hongzhi was qualified to pull Qianlong down, so after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, Hongzhi tried his best to show his absurd side. For example, after Qianlong became emperor, he gave his father Yongzheng's old residence and finances to Hongzhi, who used Qianlong's might to make a demon. Once, during the Shang Dynasty, Hirohito had a dispute with the Minister of Military Aircraft, Ne Qin, over a trivial matter, and as a result, he beat Up Kin in front of the Minister of Culture and Military Affairs. When Hongzhi beat up Ne Qin, Qianlong watched from the side and did not stop it. As a result, no one dared to provoke Hongzhi in the later civil and military hundreds of officials.
Why did Hongzhi deliberately beat up the court ministers? The main purpose was to show loyalty to Qianlong, and he would never form gangs. Just imagine, Hongzhi has offended all the civil and military officials, even if he wants to rebel, who will follow him? Hongzhi used this trick to prove that he had no ambition, and Qianlong was happy to do so. So even if Hirohito beats the minister in front of him, he can pretend not to see. On the other hand, if Hongzhi was like the Eight Sages of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was a corporal everywhere and won the support of hundreds of officials and the people, then Qianlong would really envy him.
Second, he gave his daughter to Qianlong. In order to increase Qianlong's trust in himself, Hongzhi also sent his only daughter, Princess Wan, to the palace and handed over to Qianlong to raise. Qianlong had many children, but he could not refuse this wish of Hongzhi, so he raised Princess Hewan in the palace and later created Princess Heshuo and Princess Wan.
Finally, pretend to be crazy and stupid, and carry out self-defilement. Due to Qianlong's preferential treatment, Hongzhi was richer than the general kings of the clan. His life was exhaustive and extravagant, and he also developed a hobby: funerals. He often said to his subordinates, "If a person does not live for a hundred years and does not die, what is there to avoid?" Therefore, he often sat in the courtyard to personally direct the funeral and let the family in the house cry. Although Qianlong said this to him several times, he still went his own way. And his absurd behavior was often impeached by Yushi, so Qianlong was more at ease with him.
