Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of 8, pro-government at the age of 14, in addition to Aobai pacified San Francisco, recovered Taiwan and pro-conquest of Dzungar, Kangxi reigned for 61 years, the territory of the Qing Dynasty was further expanded, creating a situation of Kangqian's prosperity, and was called "one emperor of the ages" by later generations.

However, in the later years of Kangxi's life, because of the mistake in choosing an heir, it caused the sons to compete for the position of crown prince for more than 20 years, that is, the famous nine sons in history.
In this bloody battle to seize the wife, there was a prince who was able to stand alone, and lived to be more than 70 years old, and was also reused by Qianlong.
He was the twelfth son of Kangxi, Yin Qi, so why could he withdraw from the nine sons? Why didn't Yongzheng attack him?
Come from humble origins
Yin Qi was born in the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi, his birth mother was Kangxi's concubine Wan Liu Ha, and the concubine's position was not high in the harem, so Yin Qi's origin was really a bit low.
Not only that, although Wan Liuha gave birth to a son, she did not have the right to raise the crown prince, and could only give her son to other high-ranking concubines to raise.
So who was Yin Qi sent to raise?
This person was Su Ma Lagu, who was only a maid, but for Kangxi, she was a family presence.
When Kangxi was a child, Xiaozhuang asked Su Ma Lagu to teach him to read in person.
The history books record that when the Kangxi Emperor was young, Lai Qixundi taught the national book by hand!
In the twenty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Empress Xiaozhuang died, and Su Ma Lama was greatly hit and fell into a sad mood for a long time.
Su Ma Lagu washed her face with tears all day, and even wanted to shave her family as a nun, at this time Su Ma Lagu was more than 70 years old, Kangxi could not bear to watch him depressed all day, and even more unwilling to let her be with the Qinglan Ancient Buddha.
So Kangxi sent the two-year-old emperor's twelfth son, Yin Qi, to Su Ma Lagu and asked her to raise her on her behalf.
The arrival of Yin Pei made Su Ma Lama regain her spirits, and she did not marry and have children in her life, so she regarded Yin Qi as her grandson, and taught her carefully as she had taught Kangxi in those years.
And Yin Qi was also very obedient, and under the ears of Su Ma Lama, he gradually developed a person with a broad heart and indifferent to fame and fortune.
Kangxi often visited Su Ma Lama, which also gave Yin Qi and Kangxi more opportunities to get close.
Kangxi was also very fond of this son, and when Yin qi was 25 years old, Kangxi named him Gushan Beizi, and every time Kangxi went on a tour, he would take Yin Qi with him.
It was precisely because he grew up around Su Ma Lagu that Yin Qi was able to stand alone in the later "Nine Sons and Concubines" war.
Nine sons and wives
In the later years of Kangxi's life, the covetousness of several sons for the position of crown prince was increasingly impossible to hide.
Although Yin Fu is the eldest brother, after all, he is a Shu chu, and in ancient times, it has always been the inheritance system of the eldest son, so Yin Fu lost from birth.
The second brother was born to the empress, and when he was two years old, he was made crown prince by Kangxi and carefully taught from an early age.
Yin Rong is also more contentious, able to write and martial arts, but after all, he has been held in the palm of his hand by Kangxi since he was a child, and Yin Rong's arrogance and extravagance, his personality is really not good, it can be said that he is brave and strategic.

In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, the brothers followed Kangxi to the Mulan Paddock, and halfway Kangxi fell ill, so the sons went to visit Kangxi.
Several sons were worried about Kangxi's body, and their faces were all sad, but as the crown prince's Yin, his face did not show any concern for his father, which made Kangxi very angry and scolded him.
Yin Rong also felt very wronged, and his scolding was inexplicable.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Yin Rong decided to visit Kangxi again, just to show his concern for his father.
However, who would have thought that this crown prince would not take the usual path, go to see people, go generously, he was just a person sneaking outside Kangxi's tent.
This angered Kangxi and immediately issued an edict:
Crown Prince Yin was lawless, did not obey the precepts of the Emperor, but wantonly abused the people, and was violent and promiscuous
。
The crown prince was deposed.
Now that the prince was gone, the other brothers began to be impatient, and they all felt that they had a chance.
First of all, the eldest brother Yinfu was foolish and was directly reprimanded by Kangxi, and Yinfu, who knew that he had no chance, began to recommend the Eight Brothers in front of Kangxi.
At this time, the fourth brother Yinchen was still interceding for Yinrong, and did not expose his ambitions.
At this time, Kangxi launched a poll and asked the ministers, who is suitable to be the crown prince?
Unexpectedly, at this time, everyone recommended the Eight Brothers yinyu and praised him as a generation of sage kings
This made Kangxi furious, not to mention that the eight brothers came from a humble background, and more importantly, this is not a typical gang and gang, and since then Kangxi has a defensive heart for this old eight.
Kangxi reprimanded several sons who intended to compete for the throne one by one, and restored Yin Rong.
However, this Yin Rong was a little angry, and he was afraid that his position as crown prince would once again be unsafe, so he began to bribe the officials of the current dynasty to let them support his early succession.
This operation directly touched Kangxi's brow, and once again ordered the abolition of the prince, and said that whoever mentioned the restoration of the prince again would be a capital offense!
The prince was deposed again, and the Eight Masters Party immediately became active again, but the Eight Brothers completely lost the opportunity because of the "Eagle Shooting Incident". Instead of supporting the Fourteen Brothers, the Four Brothers Yinchen also gradually revealed their sharp edges.
Sixty-one years after Kangxi, Kangxi died, and at this time, the fourteen brothers were far away in the northwest, and the four brothers were sitting in Beijing, and the victory or defeat had been decided.
Do big things in a muffled voice
When the Ninth Son's wife was beaten to pieces and bled, what was the Twelve Brothers doing?
In the fifty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Empress Renxian died, and Yin Qi was appointed as the chief administrator of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, responsible for handling the affairs of Empress Renxian's death. Yin Qi's work was called a beautiful one, which made Kangxi very satisfied.
A year later, Kangxi ordered Yin To be put in charge of the affairs of the Zhengbai Banner:
"The matter of the Three Banners of the Manchurian Mongol Han Army was handled by the Twelve Brothers."

This was a down-to-earth position, and he still held the military power in his hands, and yin qi became the "fragrant food" in the eyes of his brothers, and they all drew yin fu into their own ranks.
But at this time, Yin Qi's witty choice is neutral, you beat you, I do not participate, for the throne, I have no interest!
I have to say that sometimes not taking sides is more resourceful than the team.
In the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi, Kangxi's sister-in-law Fuquan Fujin died, and this matter was entrusted to Yin Qi, who once again brilliantly completed the task entrusted by Kangxi.
In the following two years, Yin Qi repeatedly replaced Kangxi in the Taimiao Temple to perform rituals.
In the sixty-first year of Kangxi, because Yin Qi was able to do things effectively many times, Kangxi crowned him as the King of Doroku County.
After the death of Kangxi, Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, and in order to avoid the name of the emperor, the "Yin" in the names of all of Yongzheng's brothers was changed to "Yun", and Yin qi was also changed to Yun qi.
Then Yongzheng began to settle accounts after the autumn, many people in the Eight Ye Party were liquidated by Yongzheng, and the Eight Brothers and the Ninth Brother were given the names "Archina" and "Seth Black" by Yongzheng, and then the confinement of the seclusion was executed.
And Yoon-woo was an accident in this, and he was left safely.
However, only a year later, Yongzheng was born
"Governance is not respectful"
He was stripped of his title as king of the county and demoted to Gushan Beizi and later to the title of Duke of Protectorate.
However, Yun Qiao did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, I will do whatever you want me to do, no desire or demand, happy and relaxed.
In the eighth year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng restored the title of King of Yunqi Doro and put him in charge of the affairs of the Ceremonial Department and the Zongren Mansion.
Yun Qiao worked diligently to make Yongzheng very satisfied with this younger brother and made him a prince.
Later, Yongzheng died, and Qianlong succeeded to the throne, and he also had great respect for this uncle and entrusted him with heavy responsibilities.
The Yongzheng Emperor was buried in the Qing Dynasty Mausoleum, and the Empress Uranara clan was buried with her, which was entrusted to Yun Qi, and later Qianlong's son Yong Lian died and Empress Fucha died, which were also entrusted to Yun Qi.
When Qianlong left Beijing for a tour, everything in Beijing was also entrusted to Yun Qi to handle, which showed how much Qianlong trusted this imperial uncle.
In the fifteenth year of Qianlong, at this time, Yun qi was already 66 years old, and Qianlong Nian was older in his age, and specially approved that he could sit on a palanquin to go to the court, which was the first person to enjoy this treatment during the Qianlong period.
It was also in this year that Yun's 12-year-old only son, Hongkun, died tragically, and Qianlong, in order to comfort the imperial uncle, passed on his son Yongjun to Yunqiwei
Grandson
When Yun Qiao was 70 years old, he was also appointed by Qianlong as the minister of state of the Military Aircraft Department.
Not only was Yun Qi always reused, but his mother Ding Concubine was given the title of Imperial Concubine during the Yongzheng Period and was allowed to live in Yun Qi's palace.
During the Qianlong period, every New Year's Festival, Qianlong would definitely invite Concubine Ding to the palace for the festival, and when Concubine Dingfei was seriously ill in her later years, Qianlong personally visited the palace.
Princess Ding lived until the age of 97 before her death, and was the longest-lived concubine in the harem of the Qing Dynasty.
In the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong, the 78-year-old Yun Qi also came to the end of his life, Qianlong gave him the title of "Yi", and asked his heir Sun Yongjun to send him to the end, and prince Hongzhi and the fifth son of the emperor Yongqi to clothe him with ma dai filial piety.
In the palace of deceit and intrigue, Yun Qiao safely completed his life,
It wasn't that he didn't have the opportunity or ability to participate in the struggle for the throne, but he didn't.
It can be said that in the early years, su ma lama's careful teachings allowed Yun Qi to know the etiquette and keep the etiquette, and did not covet the throne too much.
When Su Ma Lagu died, Yun Qiao broke the convention and guarded the tomb for Su Ma Lagu as a prince.
Yun Qiao's indifferent personality of fame and fortune allowed him to live at ease in the royal family, which is not a kind of success?
