Liu Heping, the screenwriter of "Yongzheng Dynasty", extended the struggle to seize the wife in the last years of the Kangxi Dynasty to the last years of Yongzheng, probably around the tenth year of Yongzheng, in order to make this history more exciting. In fact, in history, when Yongzheng ascended the throne, that is, about five years after Yongzheng, the Eight Kings Party led by Yun Yu was purgeed by the Yongzheng Emperor. In history, there was no farce of "forcing the palace", nor was there a rebellion against Yun Yu. The relationship between the old Eight Yun Yu and YongZheng from beginning to end was brother and political enemy, and the Eight Kings Party was never a rebel.
Then we can only analyze the "Yongzheng Dynasty" TV series, why the "Eight Kings Deliberating on politics and forcing the palace" created by the Eight Ye Party headed by the old Eight YunYu failed.
Stills from "Yongzheng Dynasty"
1. Are the "Eight Sages" really popular?
When the Kangxi Emperor was still alive, after the abolition of the crown prince, the Eight Ye Party and the Fourth Master Party actually became the last two forces to seize the concubine, and the old Fourteen Yin Yu, who seemed to be brilliant and tengda, was just a "blindfold" of the Kangxi Emperor. When the Kangxi Emperor died, he said: The Eight Brothers learned everywhere, but they did not learn everywhere, and they ruled people with leniency, and he was Kuan Ren who bought people's hearts. When it came to the point, Old Eight Yin Yu could do anything in order to buy people's hearts.
When Old Si Yin Chan preemptively seized Ren Bo'an's "Hundred Officials' Deeds" and burned it, it was conceivable how much "grateful Dade" those who were caught by Ren Bo'an's "little braids" and "handles" in their hearts were.
If this "Hundred Officials' Deeds" was snatched away by the Eighth Master, I don't know how those officials would end up?
This is a typical battle of hearts and minds, and the old Eight Yin Yu is completely defeated. It can be imagined that after the burning of the "Hundred Officials' Deeds", how many officials secretly threw themselves into the arms of the Four Masters Party.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, the new dynasty opened a new atmosphere, the first Yongzheng new money, but the old eight whitewashed the taiping, secretly sat on the fishing profits, pretending not to know. Sun Jiacheng, a minor official of the Household Department, exposed the mystery in the coinage in front of the Yongzheng Emperor and did not give Lao Bayun a little affection.
Everyone must have found it strange that only Sun Jiacheng's sincere loyalty had such a move. Non-also, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, although the old eight Yunyu was made the prime minister of wang, one person was above ten thousand people, but in fact, Yongzheng's intention was obvious, that is, to use this to empty the old Eight Yunyu and let Yunxiang and others carry out "political encirclement and decomposition" on Yunyu. In fact, Yun Yu did not have much real power, let alone gun-based military power. Because of this, the clever Sun Jiacheng dared to expose the tricks of the old Eight Yunyu in front of the Yongzheng Emperor, and if the old Eight Yunyu had real power in his hands, Sun Jiacheng would have been purged long ago.
After Sun Jiacheng was killed by Nian Qianyao, Lao Ba Yun Yu preemptively knelt down to sacrifice Sun Jiacheng. Think about it, kneeling down to the enemy who exposed his tricks, the purpose is clear to everyone, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people. However, if the Eight Masters Party had already been crumbling and the people's hearts were lost, what reason would there be to win over the Qingliu Party, why hadn't they done it before?
Let's just say here, from these incidents, the only factor we can infer is that the so-called "popularity" of the Eight Masters Party is nothing more than an illusion, nothing more than the illusion of virtuousness caused by the indulgence and ruin of the old eight subordinates, and the people's hearts are actually not much on the side of the Eight Masters Party.
2. The method of making trouble cannot be used in the main hall
Except for Brother Zhang Wuge, who handled the unjust prison case of the Punishment Department, everything Lao Ba did seemed to have a purpose, because Zhang WuGe was a case hand-picked by the Kangxi Emperor, and Lao Ba had to be cautious. However, he played a trick to interrogate Xiao Guoxing, and was seen through by the Kangxi Emperor, and stabbed the prince in the back, how could he be worthy of the great responsibility?
And why not think about how to provide disaster relief when the Yellow River is flooding? Obviously, the small treasury of the old ninth has silver, but it is necessary to let the old fourth Yin Chan go to rob before taking it out, is it missing a little awareness of the overall situation?
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, although this old eight did not have any real power in his hands, he did not do less to make trouble. For the sake of self-interest, when making new coins, the proportion of copper containing copper coins is changed without authorization, is this not a violation of the "financial order" and the environment?
In the Nuomin case and the Zhang Tinglu science field fraud case, he watched from the sidelines and incited the courtiers Bao Nuomin and Bao Zhang Tinglu in order to put the Yongzheng Emperor in a dilemma and destroy the prestige of the Yongzheng Emperor. He also deliberately ran to Jingling and encouraged old Fourteen Yunyu to come out and continue to fight. These tricks, according to the current saying, are that there is no awareness of the overall political situation, that they have not maintained the core leadership position of the Yongzheng Emperor, and that they are engaged in small groups, gangs, gangs, and factions, which are very serious political problems.
A "Burren Building" condenses the Eight Masters Party into a beautiful portrait. Some people are like this, they do not do anything all day long, they just play tricks, have fun, engage in small actions, engage in sabotage, and enjoy themselves tirelessly, and when they really carry out the reform of the New Deal, which is conducive to the overall situation of the country, they will change their methods to obstruct and oppose. Old Eight Yunyu's actions are no different from a saboteur, even if they are engaged in sabotage, they also want to make a play, there is no rule to speak of.
Even if it finally develops to "force the palace", it is just a "farce" as the author said. Why?
First, is it too hasty to take over the Fengtai camp and try to seize power with an ambiguous sentence? Are the stewards of the Fengtai camp all fools who will carry out an ambiguous order? They won't report to the Thirteenth Master?
The second is the historical basis of the "Eight Kings Deliberating on Politics." Hasn't Old Eight Yun Yu always been thoughtful? Why is it that even the basic historical basis of the "Eight Kings Deliberating on Politics" is used without being clearly understood? He is still one of the directors of compiling the Eight Flags Chronicle, is it too unqualified? No wonder he was refuted by Zhang Tingyu to the point of being unfinished.
The third is four thousand and eight banner soldiers, can they swallow the Fengtai camp on the outskirts of Beijing? Would this opportunistic approach be too playful?
This series of problems is only a matter of "forcing the palace" at the technical level, no matter whether the screenwriter thinks it is reasonable, anyway, I think it is unreasonable, such a hasty "forced palace" is like a child's play and a farce.
3. Obstructing the course of history will eventually lead to failure
Why was The Eight Brothers Yunyu so popular that they did not enter the eyes of the Kangxi Emperor in the end? Because of his actions, he could not correct the administrative mistakes of the Kangxi Emperor in the last years. The fate of the country of the feudal dynasty has a great relationship with the personal governance of the emperor. At the beginning of the Kangxi Dynasty, he was able to grasp the trend of history, expand the territory, pacify the Three Domains, take over Taiwan, and exert great efforts to govern. However, in his later years, he was tired of the government and the administration was abolished, and as a result, the treasury was empty and the officials were corrupt. At the moment of Kangxi's death, he had already explained the reasons for his succession to yin chan very thoroughly, because only the old fourth Yin Chan could reform the maladministration, support Kangxi's mistakes, and continue to push the Qing Dynasty forward.
The Kangxi Emperor said:
Yuan's head was already too indulgent, and the Eight Brothers were even more indulgent than Yuan. Even if his leniency were true, it would only destroy the country and mountains of the patriarchs due to indulgence.
This is the Kangxi Emperor's summary of himself and the Eight Brothers, as well as a historical summary of the last years of his reign, and only according to this summary can we correct the gains and losses and promote the progress of history. And what The Eight Brothers YunYu did was contrary to the trend and process of history, so it would only end in failure.
