The eighth son of the emperor in history, Yin Yu, was born to a good concubine from the "Xinzhiku", with a humble origin and almost no foreign forces to speak of. Many people in later generations almost unanimously believed that the reason why the eighth son of the emperor, Yin Yu, would fail to seize the concubine was only an external reason, and the humble origin was the fundamental reason. However, the historical Yin Yu was indeed a "wise king" with good character and good character, and because he won the support of many royal brothers.
However, in the interpretation of the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty", the Kangxi Emperor's evaluation of the emperor's eighth son, Yin Yu, can be described as to the point:
"The Eight Brothers are yinyu and learn everywhere, but they don't learn everywhere." He is buying people's hearts with generosity, and he has overindulged the following, but he is even more indulgent than Yuanze. Even if his leniency is true, it will only completely destroy my Great Qing Dynasty. ”
To put it bluntly, the eighth son of the emperor in the play, Yin Yu, is a "hypocrite" and "a real villain" who "buys people's hearts with his ability to be virtuous and wins over his courtiers with generosity".
But if this is the case, why is the leadership position of the Eighth Emperor's son Yin Yu in the "Eight Masters Party" still so stable? Even though the fourteenth son of the Emperor, Yin Yu, once had an internal duel with the eighth son of the Emperor, Yin Yu, the ninth son of the Emperor and the tenth son of the Emperor, Yin Ou, supported him from beginning to end, and his original intention never changed.
What is the charm of emperor eight sons Yin Yu?
In fact, after the "Zhang Wuge Top Bag Incident" appeared, a conversation between him and Yin Yu could explain the problem.
After the "unjust case of the Criminal Department" broke out, and the Kangxi Emperor gave a clear attitude that "this time, the determination has been determined, no matter who is found, whether he is a rat or a rat, it must be dealt with according to law", and the "princelings" and "eight ye parties" involved in it have "reactions" almost at the same time.
On the side of the "princelings", Prince Yinrong almost frantically began to reprimand his opponents:
"Now you have made me miserable, what kind of money is not good, I want to get these people's lives money!" Now it's good, let's finish playing together! ”
This is the consistent attitude of prince YinRong when things happen, as long as there is no accident, even if the subordinates break the sky, they will be fine; but once an accident occurs, they will immediately push the responsibility clean. However, what kind of master must have what kind of slave, let's look at the response of these subordinates:
"The slaves were frightened by the money owed by the household department last time, so they tried their best to raise some money for the prince!"
Well, if something goes wrong, it is to "find a way to raise some money for the prince"; but if there is no accident, won't these money and wealth from corrupting the law and taking people's lives go into their own pockets? The reason why Crown Prince Yinrong completely disappointed the Kangxi Emperor was related to his own reasons, and it was directly related to the "crazy demolition" of his henchmen. However, in the face of the obvious prevarication of his subordinates, Prince Yinrong had no choice but to simply eliminate violence and give a response of "stop the mouth, stop the mouth, roll, roll".
Such a crown prince, such a "princeling party", undefeated is intolerable!
On the side of the "Eight Masters Party", Emperor Eight Sons Yin Yu also began to reprimand emperor Nine Sons Yin Yu who was involved:
"What Ren Ji'an Liu Eight Daughters are all little people who are rich and unkind, and your old nine actually regard him as a confidant!" This is good, such a thing has been done, even you can't get rid of it! ”
Note that when the eighth son of the Emperor Yin Yu reprimanded Yin Yu, he was still frantically tearing up the accounts with Jiangxia Town, and this shot was the most telling irony.
Without ren ji'an and Liu Banu, who are rich and unkind villains, where does the emperor's ninth son Yin Yu get the money? Without Yin Yu's money, what did Yin Yu use to win over courtiers and maintain his "virtuous image"? To put it nicely, Yin Yu is called "let the horse run, but also not let the horse eat grass"; to say it is ugly, Yin Yu is "both what you want to be and what you want to stand."
Therefore, Yin Yu's reprimand, Yin Yu will never be convinced:
"Big deal, like Old Ten, go to the Zongren Mansion for a year and a half, I will never bother you starling!"
Note that this response is by no means simple disbelief, and even contains many complaints:
1. Why was The Old Ten imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion for half a year?
Because Yin Yu did not lend him money to repay his debts, and this also got Yin Yu's acquiescence. When Lao Shiyan called the seller to be dang, Yin Yu complained that Yin Yu did not borrow money. Isn't this the same as the current situation? Isn't this an "afterthought"?
2. In Yin Yu's view, Yin Yu's reprimand is not only "after the horse", meaningless; its fundamental purpose is to avoid tiring himself. When you ask for money, you open your mouth; when there is an accident, you push the responsibility to the end, and it is no wonder that Yin Yu will be dissatisfied, and even have obvious complaints.
After Yin Yu finished venting, Yin Yu had a small episode, that is, he called the next person:
"Take the charcoal pot to the hospital and burn it!"
Note that this little episode is by no means abrupt, not because Yin Yu really can't stand the smoke, but because Yin Yu's words make Yin Yu unable to find a way to respond for a while. That is to say, this vignette is a buffer time that Yin Yu left for himself to find, prepare and organize the language to fight back against Yin Yu.
After preparing, Emperor Eight Zi Yin Yu significantly slowed down his speech, lowered his tone, and began to fight back:
"Yes, you have not bothered me, so what am I afraid of you?" As a prince, I live this life in peace and security, and I am a rich man in a down-to-earth manner. Why should I so much heart and manage so many things? ”
Yin Yu's sentence has a very obvious "subtext": The reason why I am so tired is not because you all support my struggle for the throne?
After this sentence, Yin Yu did not react, and Yin Yu quickly added a sentence:
"Well, you all go, I'm tired, I'm going to rest for a while!"
The "subtext" of this sentence is more obvious: you go, I will not argue, I will not do it!
Well, as soon as this sentence came out, The Ninth Emperor Yin Yu not only immediately softened, but also quickly knelt down and begged for forgiveness:
"Brother, are you okay with me saying nothing, just because what I say is not human!"
Here's the question: Emperor Yinyu wanted to give up the struggle for the throne, why was Emperor Nine-Son Yinyu so afraid?
There is a saying that goes, "There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests", the ninth son of the Emperor Yin Yu was born more noble than Yin Yu, the background was stronger than Yin Yu, and his birth mother was still the Kangxi Emperor's "deepest sacred" Concubine Guo Luoluoshi, but why did he firmly support Yin Yu and not take the concubine himself?
Because he was self-aware, in terms of his political wisdom, the odds of winning the throne were almost negligible; because he only wanted to frantically amass wealth and did not want to compete for the throne. But what is the premise of crazy wealth accumulation? There is a backstage that is so powerful that no one dares to mess with it. Support Yin Yu to seize the concubine, let Yin Yu become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and only then can he always be bold and assured of the crazy accumulation of wealth.
In other words, Yin Yu and Yin Yu are originally an interdependent and mutually borrowed relationship. I provide you with financial support, and you escort my wealth-aggling behavior.
However, once the eighth son of the emperor, Yin Yu, gave up the struggle for the throne, Yin Yu's previous huge investment would not only lose all meaning, but also the future financial road would soon be cut off. Therefore, Yin Yu would be afraid and would immediately kneel down and beg for forgiveness.
However, this sentence of the Eighth Son of the Emperor Yin Yu was not only said to Yin Yu, but also hit the Emperor's tenth son Yin Ou in passing!
Because no one borrowed money, the emperor's tenth son, Yin'er, would call the seller Dang along the street; because the street was called the seller Dang, Yin Ru would be imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion for half a year. But Yin Yu was the "rich man" among the princes, and Yin Yu was the only place that could make Yin Yu obey his orders. That is to say, the Emperor's tenth son, Yin'er, is very likely to attribute his imprisoned resentment to the emperor's eighth son, Yin Yu.
To this end, the eighth son of the Emperor, Yin Yu, must carry out a fierce beating within the group to restore and consolidate his authority and position.
The complaints about me, the opinions on me, or put them all away, once I quit the conquest, you are nothing, you are left with the fate of "the loser is the coward".
Note that in the course of the dialogue between Yin Yu and Yin Yu, the tenth son of the Emperor Yin Ou and the fourteenth son of the Emperor Yin Yu never said a word, what does this mean? This shows that Yin Yu's complaint also represents the voice of the two people! But after Yin Yu knelt down and begged for forgiveness, the two of them quickly stood up and helped, what did it mean? This shows that the two were also suppressed by the threat of the Eighth Son of the Emperor!
Well, Yin Yu's purpose has been achieved, and it has reached the iconic moment of the traditional "buying people's hearts with meritocracy":
"Brother Nine, brother myna doesn't blame you, get up!"
From "Old Nine" to "Nine Brothers", from harsh reprimands to gentle "Starlings don't blame you", this is the true face of Emperor Eight Sons Yinyu. Those who follow us prosper and those who oppose us die, so that the eighth son of the emperor Yin Yu interprets it vividly.
However, this ingenuity of the Eighth Emperor Yin Yu was only used to control internal members, but when fighting externally, it was full of loopholes and stupidity. Fortunately, the eighth son of the emperor, Yin Yu, ultimately failed, otherwise it would have been possible for the Kangxi Emperor to say that "even if his leniency is true, it will only completely destroy my Great Qing Dynasty."
