The "Eagle Shooting Incident" directly led to the historical Kangxi, who no longer looked down on his eighth prince Yin Yu.
Many people watching "Yongzheng Dynasty" will find that the eagle shooting incident occurred on the fourteen brothers Yinyu. The story goes something like this:
At that time, Yin Yu won the status of The Great General King, which directly led to him breaking away from the Eight Ye Party group and going it alone. Good guy, can make the Eight Brothers angry, but the face still has to be passable, so for the time being, I didn't tear my face, but the small shoes must be worn.
When it was time for Kangxi to celebrate his birthday, every prince had to prepare a birthday gift for his father. Everyone spent a lot of thought, hoping to win Kangxi's smile at the birthday banquet. The Fourteenth Brother was no exception, and he brought a stone similar to the word "Shou" to Kangxi, indicating the meaning of Shoubi Nanshan.
This thing is good, kangxi as long as he looks at it, he will definitely be happy. This happiness, did not pass on the throne to the fourteen brothers? But the problem lies in the process of giving birthday gifts.
It turned out that the fourteenth brother, as the great general king, led 100,000 troops out to fight, and there was no time to come back. Therefore, he could only ask his subordinates Orendai to go and give gifts.
And Orendai has always been the person of the Eight Brothers Yinyu, but before the Fourteen Brothers Yinyu, he thought that he had used the reverse plan to buy Orendai over. But the problem was with Orendai.
Orendai first went to the Eight Brothers Yin Yu with gifts to ask for peace, and just when he went out, Yin Yu transferred this "Shou" word stone, and the evil thing was that he actually replaced it with a dead eagle.
At Kangxi's birthday feast, Orendai gave the dead eagle to Kangxi, and the result almost made Kangxi pass on the spot. Fortunately, Kangxi allowed Long Keduo to stabilize the situation, which barely ended.
In the play, Kangxi already knows very well who did this. The Eight Masters Party knew that there was no hope of taking the wife, so it planned to disrupt the overall situation, and once the chaos broke out, Kangxi would not be able to die well, then the Eight Masters Party that would come to trouble would naturally be able to control the Forbidden City. This careful thinking was clearly seen by Kangxi, so only by stabilizing the situation was the top priority, and as for finding out the truth, it was not important. So what is the "eagle shooting incident" in history?
First, Yin Yu sent a dying eagle to Kangxi.
At that time, Yin Yu's mother, Concubine Liang, died on the third anniversary. Kangxi was patrolling the Rehe River, and when passing through Miyun County, Yin Yu went to worship his mother, and did not hang around with Kangxi.
At this time, in order to express his apologies, Yin Yu sent a eunuch to Kangxi to explain the situation. This is a good thing of filial piety, and Kangxi naturally does not get angry.
But the problem was that Yin Yu did not let the eunuch go empty-handed, but took an eagle to see Kangxi. Kangxi opened it with joy, and I let it go, and the eagle was already dying.
You know, this year is the fifty-third year of Kangxi, when Kangxi was already 61 years old. This age was already a long life among the ancient emperors, but Kangxi felt that Yin Yu's mind was broken, and he actually cursed himself with this dying eagle.
So Kangxi shouted all the princes at that time, denounced Yin Yu's vicious behavior in front of the big guys, and put down his harsh words: Starting today, the father-son relationship between Yin Yu and Yin Yu was broken! Don't persuade me, it's useless for anyone to persuade you!
From then on, it was said that Yin Yu could continue to be the prince, and that was already a matter of gratitude. In the spring of the following year, Kangxi felt angry and stopped Yin Yu's salary.
Good fellow, Yin Yu is not a person who lacks money, but hitting people does not hit people in the face, why do you Kangxi old masters greet people in the face? This frightened Yin Yu, which directly caused Yin Yu to have a serious illness, almost did not ease up, Kangxi was actually indifferent to this, this is really a good father!
It was not until Yin Yu's health improved that Kangxi was slightly relieved, re-accepted the son, and restored Yin Yu's salary. From then on, Yin Yu was honest, he knew that he had no chance to take the wife, all this was to blame the dying eagle.
Second, Kangxi was moody and had a hard time taking a wife under his hands.
Kangxi's sons were more shrewd than one, and it could be said that any one of them could be qualified for the position of the king of a country. But these people met the tricky Kangxi old man.
Many people are deceived by the image of Kangxi in the TV series, thinking that he is an amiable old man, in fact, we will look through the history books, we will find that Kangxi is older, the more moody, and the treatment of Yin Yu is very illustrative of this problem.
In the past, Kangxi was very good to Yin Yu, and because Yin Yu's riding and shooting ability was particularly strong, Kangxi was full of praise. When He was Feng Belle, he was the youngest of the bunch. But it turned out that because of a dead eagle, he inexplicably wanted to break off relations with this son, you said Kangxi was interesting, right?
In fact, not only Yin Yu was like this, but there was also the Three Brothers Yin Zhi, who was a character who was both literate and martial. Not only is the bow horse riding a first-class level, but reading is also a good seedling. Kangxi especially liked him in his early years, and often took him out hunting with him, but one day, Kangxi inexplicably began to snub Yin Zhi, who did not know what was going on until he died. You ask me? I don't know what's going on.
Not to mention the prince Yinrong, who had been cultivated by Kangxi for more than thirty years, but before the truth of the rebellion had been ascertained, Kangxi had hastily abolished the family. The problem is that it didn't take long for him to set up for people, and before He could sit hot, he gave them waste again. Man, did you let the family play a roller coaster?
The most interesting thing is the matter of the Fourteenth Brother Yinyu, kangxi in his later years handed over 100,000 troops to Yin Yu, made him a great general, and let him take his place. In fact, the idiots could see that Kangxi was going to pass the throne to Yin Yu! How could I have given him such a great position? But in the end, Kangxi passed the throne to the fourth brother Yinchen, do you think it is interesting? It made Yin Yubai happy.
In the face of such a moody father, these sons can be regarded as broken hearts. Or Yongzheng's set of means of seizing the wife is more clever, he does not deliberately curry favor with Kangxi, but conscientiously do his own things, he always feels that the leader will understand everything, and the result is really let Yongzheng guess!
Summary: Yin Yu's problem has a long history.
Kangxi hated Yin Yu, and that was also forgivable. Because Yin Yu's popularity was so good, he was commonly known as the Eight Sages King in the court!
Yin Yu was really a well-known person, and even Kangxi's ninth prince Yin Yu, the tenth prince Yin Yu, and the fourteenth prince Yin Yu all bowed down to Yin Yu in his early years, which could be called his nemesis.
In the minds of the officials in the court, Yin Yu was also a very good person, so after Kangxi deposed the prince for the first time, almost everyone elected Yin Yu as the new prince.
Yin Yu even among Jiangnan literati has a very good reputation. Because his attendant He Zhuo was a famous scholar at that time, he had a great influence in Jiangnan.
Do you think it's normal for so many good people to focus on one person? At least Kangxi felt abnormal. He would even feel that Yin Yu was very likely to become an old good man, and the old good man was not suitable for the emperor's errands!
It can only be said that Yin Yu was clever but was mistaken by smart, and good popularity did not bring him good luck, but let Kangxi see Yin Yu's shortcomings. As for the eagle shooting incident, it was a fuse.
