Those who have seen the "Kangxi Dynasty" and the "Yongzheng Dynasty" all know that Kangxi established the eldest son Yin Rong as the crown prince in his early years, and it can be said that from birth, Yin Rong was the second head of this great Qing Dynasty, and the future king of a country was naturally in a high position. However, at the age of 34, the fate of Yin Rong ushered in the first turn, Kangxi decreed that the crown prince be deposed and grounded in xian'an Palace, considering the stability of the situation, the next year Kangxi once again made Yin Rong the crown prince, but the good times did not last long, two years later, the Kangxi Emperor deposed Yin Rong again, still grounded in Xian'an Palace, and has never released him since.
In the "Yongzheng Dynasty", a lot of space is spent writing about the whole process of Yin Rong's abolition, and from the TV series, Yin Rong seems to be a prince without virtue and talent, and it seems that the Great Qing Kingdom will be destroyed in his hands in the future. However, the real Yin Rong in history is the complete opposite of the "Yongzheng Dynasty", from an early age, intelligent and studious, both literary and martial arts, not only proficient in the hundred classics of the sons, poetry of the past, but also proficient in Manchurian bow horse riding and shooting; grew up to be a descendant of the emperor sacrifice, and several times to supervise the country, good governance, which to a certain extent reduced the burden of Kangxi. It can be said that Yin Rong was brought up step by step by the Kangxi Emperor, and with his talent, he was naturally relatively excellent.
"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold", the crown prince is the foundation of the country, so it is not a certain thing that makes the Kangxi Emperor suddenly move the mind of deposing the prince and put it into action, there must be a number of things linked together that led to this result. So what exactly caused the final outcome of Yin Rong, who had the talent of the emperor, to be so miserable?
Forming a party threatened imperial power
Yin Rong was made crown prince when he was one year old, which can be said to have been established too early, of course, this is also a reward for the cost of life for Empress Heschel. However, in the middle of the situation, the crown prince for decades, in the dynasty, naturally some courtiers began to seduce the prince in order to seek a smooth future career, but this is indeed a big taboo. Sooner or later, the princely party will be in trouble with the program. The Kangxi Emperor was full of expectations for this son, and in addition to his own teaching, he also let him participate in the major affairs of the military state, in order to train the future emperor. However, it was precisely such a move that made Yin Rong's power continue to increase, and the henchmen he formed were also all over the government and the public, and in Kangxi's eyes, the princelings were already a problem in the dprk and threatened the imperial power.
This is also why when the prince was deposed for the first time, he was convinced of the slanderous words of the eldest brother, and he also suspected that the prince approached his tent and peeked inside was a deliberate attempt to "usurp the throne", which was already extremely distrustful of the prince, and to this extent, the problems in the prince's body, whether big or small, were naturally infinitely magnified.
The jealousy of the princes
The Kangxi Emperor had more than thirty sons, of whom more than a dozen were already involved in state affairs. Most of the sons of the Kangxi Emperor were talented, and it was precisely because the crown prince participated in political affairs that he also formed his own forces in private, especially the Eight Ye Party. It is also because the princes have outstanding abilities, they are naturally one who disobeys one, they all feel that Yin Rong can be the prince, they can also, why not fight for a fight, it is not allowed to overthrow Yin Rong, this throne will fall on their heads, which is why there will be a crazy situation of nine sons taking the concubine in the future.
The struggle between the princes for the throne of this prince must be to find ways to get rid of Yin Rong, and they will do whatever it takes to frame him, whether it is to make a small report to Kangxi, in short, Yin Rong has been deposed, and his brothers must have made a contribution.
Kangxi reigned for too long
None of the longest-reigning emperors in Chinese history during the Kangxi Dynasty reigned for 61 years. Yin Rong was born in the thirteenth year of Kangxi, and was made crown prince shortly after his birth, and by the time he was first deposed, it was Kangxi forty-seven years, that is to say, he had been the prince for more than thirty years, even if Yin Rong had no idea about the throne, but it was not excluded that there were those who had ulterior motives, using this matter to stab Yin Rong's knife in the back, such a knife must have stabbed a quasi, and slowly destroyed the Kangxi Emperor's trust in this son.
The two abolitions and two abolitions of Yin Rong must have been the result of the Kangxi Emperor's comprehensive consideration in many aspects. It is said that "the most ruthless imperial family", I don't know if Yin Rong would have wished to have been born in an ordinary family when he was detained in the Xian'an Palace.
