Speaking of the dynasties and dynasties that have paid more attention to the right of blood inheritance, it must also belong to the Qing Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty also had dozens of emperors, but among them there were also emperors who had no successors and passed the throne to their brothers.
In order to ensure that the emperor who inherits the throne has the best conditions, most of the emperors have many sons, but there is only one throne, so there are also various storms in order to compete for the throne, the most famous is Kangxi's "Nine Dragons".

Kangxi had a good relationship with the first empress, the Hersheri clan, so when the Hersheli clan had difficulty producing a concubine, Yin Rong, he immediately made Yin Rong the crown prince. However, this prince's time was really too long, and Kangxi's longevity made the prince more and more uneasy.
Part of the reason for this was the threat from Kangxi's other sons, as a concubine, although Yin Rong had the aura of a prince, but his own qualifications were mediocre, and it had to be said that it was a huge flaw.
And when the other imperial brothers grew up, the ability of the prince's aura to shield him became more and more fragile, so Yin Rong began to stir. And this uneasiness and restlessness of the prince also made other princes eager to try.
Especially after the crown prince was deposed, the struggle between the princes became more and more intense, so the Kowloon conquest was widely implicated.

The so-called Kowloon includes Kangxi's eldest son, crown prince, third son of the emperor, fourth son of the emperor, eighth son of the emperor, ninth son of the emperor, tenth son of the emperor, thirteenth son of the emperor, fourteenth son of the emperor, and it can be said that Kangxi's more talented sons are involved.
And in the end, the reason why the fourth son of the emperor, Yin Chan, was able to ascend to the throne, in fact, most of it was his forbearance and low-key, and the thirteenth son of the emperor carried the black cauldron.
Historically, the fourth son of the emperor, Yin Chan, was not a favored prince, compared to the high profile of the prince's life, the eighth son of the emperor had a personality and appearance like Kangxi, and his own brother the fourteenth son of the emperor was favored by his mother from an early age, and Kangxi's love, Yin Chan can be said to be a prince who is easily forgotten.
And because of his old age, he married early and established his own royal palace, and kangxi and his birth mother and brother did not have much contact, and some people said that Yin Chan had a cold personality, in fact, it was greatly related to the environment in which he grew up.

And because of the indifference of this affection, Yin Chan has actually been ostracized by his brothers, even if he did not expect to get the throne at first, but when the princes suppressed Yin Chan in order to compete for the throne, Yin Chan did not fight back at first.
He may also want to be an idle prince and live a mediocre life, but in the end he also understands that this escape will not only bring comfort, but it is likely to be a small life. As a result, Yin Chan began to join the war to seize the wife.
In this war, In the end, Yin Chan won. Many wild histories also mention that in the end, Yin Chan was able to become emperor because of his son Hongli. The Qing Dynasty paid attention to hugging grandchildren and not holding children, so Kangxi actually did not have much affection with his sons, but cared more for his grandchildren.
History also records that Qianlong was deeply loved by Kangxi at a very young age, and even accompanied Kangxi for a period of time. Among his many sons, Kangxi did not find an heir to the throne that he felt 100% satisfied with, which was also the reason why he had not been crown prince for a long time.

Because Kangxi's teaching of Yin Rong can be said to be wholehearted, and ignored the other sons around him, when he was old, he gave up Yin Rong, but he suddenly did not know which one to choose as his successor.
When the incident of the Kowloon conquest occurred, seeing his own flesh and blood killing each other for the throne, and even plotting to kill himself, at this time Kangxi was already desperate for his son, and naturally would look at his grandchildren.
Therefore, in order to make Emperor Sun Hongli emperor, Kangxi acquiesced to Yongzheng becoming his next successor.
After Yin Chan became emperor, he was not at all soft on his brothers who had persecuted him, and the title of "indifferent emperor" in history was also obtained in this way. For the Hongli calendar, the succession to the throne is much calmer, thanks to the following three points.

One
Yongzheng has few heirs
Compared with Kangxi's sons, Yongzheng lost miserably. Because yongzheng in his early years wanted to maintain his image of being pure and widowed, there were fewer concubines and fewer children. After becoming emperor, due to busy state affairs, his reign was short, and he did not expand the number of harem concubines, let alone the birth of a brother.
Therefore, by the time of Yongzheng's death, there were only three adults in total: Hongshi, Hongli, and Hongzhi. There are fewer brothers, which naturally reduces the competitive pressure, and the Hongli calendar has the favor of the Emperor's grandfather Kangxi in the front, so the upper position of the Hongli is much easier.

Two
Hiroshi was out early
Although there are few sons, it does not mean that they are people who keep to themselves. Historically, Hongshi was also ambitious for the throne, but Hongshi used too much force and was kicked out by his father Yongzheng early.
When Hongshi was still the crown prince, Yongzheng's eighth brother Yin Yu was still there, and in order to add to Yongzheng's blockage, he still thought of many ways, including wooing Hongshi. Yin Yu also came up with an idea, wanting to restore the eight-stage deliberation system before the Qing army entered the customs and elevate the imperial power of Yongzheng.
Hongshi was instigated to persuade Yongzheng for a time, and almost succeeded. When Yongzheng found out that something was wrong, Hongshi also interceded for Yin Yu, this situation of two-sided insertion of knives made Yongzheng almost turn his back, and in anger, he directly removed the identity of Hongshi Belle, degraded to a commoner, and cut off Hongshi's desire to compete for the throne.
Three
The degree of the day is out of the way
Another of Yongzheng's adult sons is Hongzhi, but Hongzhi is the existence of the "Flower King" in history. Not only is he playful, but he is also particularly ridiculous, and he will also plan a funeral for himself, so that hongzhi will not pose any threat to hongli in succession.

How did Hongli treat his brothers and brothers after he ascended the throne?
With his grandfather and father working hard for decades, Hongli after ascending the throne has indeed been a lot of style, and learning from people's evaluation of Yongzheng, Hongli's care for his brothers' descendants after ascending the throne has won him a lot of praise.
First of all, Hongli included Hongshi in the imperial family tree, although it did not give Hongshi any title, but this ending should be the most anticipated by Hongshi.
Subsequently, Hongli also passed on his younger brother Hongzhan to Uncle Seventeen and inherited the throne of Prince Guo, thus solving the troublesome younger brother who may still threaten his throne.
Then, Hongli is also further cleaning up any potential factors that are not good for him. At that time, it was rumored that Yin Rong's eldest son, Hongchen, was Kangxi's favorite grandson, and even Kangxi had signs of a third restoration of the crown prince for him.
Although everything is a rumor, Hongchen still has supporters, which makes Qianlong very concerned.

Therefore, after Qianlong had done two good things, dealing with Hongchen was the third major thing after he ascended the throne. Qianlong not only removed Hongchen from all his posts and removed him from the title of prince, but also removed him from the genealogy.
Through these three things, the ministers also knew that Qianlong had a clear means of rewarding and punishing, and they also divided up a lot.
