Introduction: Since Kangxi issued an edict after the abolition of the crown prince, it has been a routine to ask officials to write to the new prince in the way of "one only discusses and no selfishness". The Eight Ye Party, which had long coveted the throne, immediately began to recommend The Eighth Party as the new prince under the contact of the Tong Guowei drama known as the Tong Half Dynasty. After carefully pondering Kangxi's words and deeds, Mr. Wu proposed a recommendation for the fourth brother Yinchen and the thirteenth brother Yinxiang to abolish the crown prince Yinrong. Mr. Wu made these inferences first based on Kangxi's habits of words and deeds; second, it was also a typical "struggle is not dispute, no dispute is contention" routine of retreating into progress. This is very much in line with Kangxi's mentality at this time, and recommending the new prince is to observe the influence and heart of the princes, and second, it is also the last examination of the deposed prince Yinrong. In the end, the deposed prince Yin Rong and the Eighth Brotheran Prince Yin Yu did not pass the pass, and the big position fell on the head of the "indisputable" Yin Chan.
The historical background of the Prince of Gongtui
Crown Prince Yinrong was publicly abolished by the Ming Dynasty because of the Zheng Chunhua incident and Ling Pu's suspicion of leading troops to kill him. The prince here has just been deposed, and the other ambitious brothers can't hold back. Wave after wave began to pour dirty water on the waste prince Yinrong. The eldest brother actually planned to kill Yin Rong under the banner of sharing worries for his father, and the third brother's reader Yin Zhi also put down the reader's Sven to expose the prince of the big brother's town. Yin Zhi thought that the chance of the whole big brother himself was the greatest, but he did not expect to anger Kangxi and completely lose the hope of taking the concubine.
The old people did not want to believe that their children's moral character was corrupt, so after Zhang Tingyu reminded Ling Pu that the edict of leading the soldiers was false, and because of the eldest brother Yin Weizhen Prince, he had forgiven most of Yin Rong's faults. However, the Zheng Chunhua incident is true and irrefutable, so the crown prince Yinrong will inevitably be punished and abolished. However, the impatience and even fratricide of the brothers for the throne made Kangxi worried in his heart. In order to test the ambition and influence of the princes, and in order to verify the character of the princes in order to select the right prince, the edict was issued: In the capital Sipin officials, the provincial Erpin officials can elect the crown prince as the new crown prince candidate.
To put it bluntly, at this time, Kangxi already had some regrets about abolishing the prince Yinrong, but the routine of electing the prince still had to go. Don't look at it, don't know, look at it and be shocked. The Eight Ye Party, led by Tong Guowei, colluded with more than half of the courtiers to open their eyes for the old Eight Yin, which surprised Kangxi secretly.
Kangxi pushed the routine of the new prince, and Wu Sidao directly wrote the fold of the abolition of the prince Yinrong
In fact, from the beginning of the election of the crown prince, Kangxi's various words and deeds were to remind the officials led by Tong Guowei, the minister of the study, not to be too enthusiastic to participate in the conquest. However, Tong Guowei and all the brothers took the initiative to ignore Kangxi's kind reminders for the sake of the crown prince. In the end, he was borrowed by Kangxi to praise Zhang Tingyu to criticize Tong Guowei, Ma Qi and others for "turning red and stepping on black, seeing the wind and making the rudder". In the end, Tong Guowei was suspended from all duties and retired to retirement.
"They don't value Jiangshan Sheji, they think about their Position"
In fact, Kangxi had already secretly prompted when he went to the study room to count the number of votes selected by the brothers, and when he heard that the preliminary result of the vote count was that the eight brothers were a big lead, he began to prompt. Borrowing from Zhejiang's request to praise Filial Piety, he said the following words, which can be said that he has already received the old thirteen hints that the deposed prince YinRong can be said to have said very clearly. It's just that Tong Guowei and Ma Qi didn't hear it, or they heard it, and they continued to promote Brother Baba in the heart of the people who did not blame the law.
For example, if there are so many sons, the thirteenth brother is very filial piety. Although he had a bad temper, he was loyal and filial to the deposed prince. Do things with a conscience, never consider the stakes and lose. If you encounter any difficulties, the thirteenth brother will definitely sacrifice himself like a filial piety.
Kangxi Man thought that Tong Guowei and Ma Qi, who were ministers of the upper study, would definitely understand what they meant after being prompted, but he still overestimated the conduct of Tong Guowei and others. The more than 200 medallions presented in the upper study were basically based on the Eight Brothers, which made Kangxi greatly annoyed and had to borrow the summoning Tong Guowei who had a dinner together to teach Ji Yi in person (the original words are as follows: ). Of course, the words cannot be said too whitely, and the insinuations can certainly be heard clearly. In order to achieve this goal, Kangxi even offered a position of Nine Gate Viceroy to the Tong family in exchange. But Tong Guowei was good, and he ate the sugar-coated shell and spit it out. And Roncodo bet on both sides, taking sides of the eight brothers and the four brothers respectively.
"You can't worry about everything, but you can't worry too much. There are things for the juniors to do, and we can rest. Let them do it, the former people will collect the fields and the future people will collect" "We all have to think more for the future generations."
And Long Keduo was not satisfied with burning the cold stove of the four brothers, and did not dare to refuse Tong Guowei's arrangement. Therefore, he came to Kangxi to resign, and only after explaining the reason did Kangxi realize that Tong Guowei planned to run to the black road. At the same time, Wu Sidao, while having dinner with the fourth and thirteenth brothers, revealed that the candidate he had speculated to be the crown prince was the deposed prince Yinrong. The starting point of Mr. Wu's speculation was still based on Kangxi's mentality: Kangxi deposed the crown prince out of a moment of anger and planned to give Yin Rong another chance. Secondly, to see who can really recommend the new prince from the perspective of filial piety and national interests, to put it bluntly, it is also a test of the character of the princes that he thinks he has. At this time, Kangxi definitely already had an alternative plan for the four brothers in his mind, and this election of the prince was to kill two birds with one stone.
Wu Mou took the liberty of writing a recital for the fourth and thirteenth masters in private, and if you can see if you can use it, you will immediately transcribe a copy and present it to the emperor separately.
Elect the result of the Prince's Storm
Kangxi finally revealed his true intention, that is, to restore the deposed prince to the throne. The reason was that "first, at that time, I was stationed in the Rehe River, and things started between the elbows and armpits." Many situations are obscure and unclear, and they have to be arbitrary for the sake of the world and the patriarchs. The second was the absurdity of Yin Rong at that time, some things caught the wind and caught the shadows, and some things caught the shadow of others", so Zhang Tingyu was praised, and Tong Guo Wei Maqi was reprimanded. Tong Guowei lost his official post, Ma Qi demoted two levels to use; and the Eighth Brother Yin Yu had already been beaten and confused, if it wasn't for the Ninth Brother dragging him away, he was still stunned? Don't even know what the problem is? And the fourth brother who obeyed Wu Sidao's protection of deposing the crown prince Yin Rong also received a commendation from Kangxi and even said three good words:
"Yin Chan, Yin Xiang, it is rare that the two of you can understand things at this time and have no covetous heart." I give you three words of evaluation: good, good, good. I am very relieved."
brief summary:
The fourth brother and the thirteenth brother recommended the crown prince Yinrong according to Mr. Wu's orders, which made Kangxi very happy. First, they were loyal to the king and patriotic, and second, he himself was also very satisfied with the character of Yin Chan, the candidate prince. This incident is of great significance to Yin Chan's succession to the throne in the future.
I am the emperor of history, welcome your attention; if there is a flaw, the axe is right.
