The two "dead birds" that Yin Yu gave to Kangxi really harmed him for the rest of his life.
Fifty-three years of Kangxi, this is the white-hot stage of Kangxi's sons "taking the wife", all the princes must be cautious in every word and deed, because the fate of the deposed prince Yin Rong and the eldest brother has been very clear, very desolate, so at this juncture, whoever has some problems will have to be unlucky.
This year, Kangxi toured Hebei and picked his favorite, and was also the most capable of his sons at that time.
However, this year, it was exactly two years after the death of Brother Eight's biological mother, Concubine Liang, and the date of Kangxi's tour was just around the time of Concubine Liang's sacrifice, and Brother Eight had no way to have both, and went to inspect with his father and emperor, so he had to lose his "filial piety" and choose to sacrifice his mother, and he would lose "loyalty".
Since loyalty and filial piety could not be both, he chose "filial piety" and did not go on a tour with Kangxi.
At first, Kangxi did not blame, because his son's "filial piety" was not good for him, so he let Yin Yu sacrifice a good concubine.
On the other hand, in order to express his apologies, Yin Yu specially had two famous birds "Hai Dongqing" selected to give to his father, the Kangxi Emperor.
Speaking of Hai Dongqing, this bird has a big head in the history of the Manchus.
Haidongqing is the favorite "bird and poultry" of the Jurchen people, because Haidongqing is fierce and rare in number, and is regarded as a "treasure" by the Jurchens who live by fishing and herding, and in the era of Jurchen slavery, haidongqing's status is higher than that of a person.
Moreover, the earliest contradiction was "offering eagles", and the Tianzuo Emperor of the Liao State was very fond of Hai Dongqing, and often let the Jurchen sacrifice this sacred bird, and over time, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the Jurchens, and only then did the Jurchens be able to gather the strength to rebel against the Liao Dynasty.
In the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus still loved Hai Dongqing as a bird, and "giving birds" between princes and nobles was a very intimate act, so Yin Yu did not accompany Kangxi on a tour, but only sent two Hai Dongqing to Kangxi, which was not a perfunctory response to Kangxi, but a very solemn response.
In fact, after knowing Yin Yu's arrangement, Kangxi did not say anything and set off as scheduled.
However, on this issue of "Hai Dongqing", something big has happened.
When Kangxi received Hai Dongqing from Yin Yu, the two birds were already dead, and people at that time called it "death", kangxi saw such a scene and was furious.
This is the "Eagle Shooting Incident".
Because Hai Dongqing looks like an "eagle", and even says that it is a kind of eagle, the "boiling eagle" that the old Beijingers always like to say is Hai Dongqing.
Hai Dongqing, which symbolizes multiple meanings, died at the hands of Kangxi, which in Kangxi's view was a kind of "curse".
Kangxi felt that Yin Yu did not mean it or not, but he received two dead Hai Dongqing, which was a bad sign, Kangxi was old at that time, and had a lot of similarities with the Emperor Wu of Han who launched the "Curse of the Witches", and his heart was suspicious and sensitive, so he was very angry.
Yin Yu didn't know why such a thing had happened, and when he knew about it, Kangxi's "curse" had already come out.
First of all, Kangxi reprimanded Yin Yu's mother, Concubine Liang, as a "sinner ku slut", you know, this time is the day of Concubine Liang's sacrifice, Kangxi said this, it can not be said that it is not cruel, directly pushing Yin Yu to an extremely sensitive position.
Secondly, Kangxi directly spread out their "father-son contradictions", saying that Yin Yu used his own means to form gangs, and many people in the court supported Yin Yu, and Yin Yu's actions originally affected the crown prince and him Kangxi himself, and now Yin Yu still used this "death eagle" to curse him, and the sin was unforgivable.
Subsequently, Yin Yu's silver and positions were removed to show Kangxi's punishment for him, and in the eagle shooting incident, it was certain that Yin Yu was completely disqualified from being a crown prince, leaving Yin Yu in a state of caution.
The "Eagle Shooting Incident" is very strange and coincidental, looking at the Eagle Shooting Incident, in fact, the truth is not important, the most important thing is that the interests and relationships before and after this incident have changed.
The Eagle Killing Incident occurred in the fifty-third year of the Kangxi Dynasty, in this year, Yin Rong had been deposed twice, the nine sons of the concubine had officially begun, Yin Yu through his superior emotional intelligence and ability, steadily occupied the dominant position in the court, almost all the officials of the court recommended Yin Yu as the crown prince, And Yin Yu's chances of becoming a prince were very many.
However, for Kangxi, he did not want a suitable crown prince at all, what he wanted was a day when there was no crown prince looking at him.
Kangxi used to like the prince Yin Rong, but the problem was that Yin Rong had been the prince for more than thirty years, or the prince, Kangxi was too long-lived, the crown prince had survived until the ambitions came out, and over time, the relationship between father and son was estranged, and even separated, so there was a move of Kangxi to depose the prince.
After the abolition of the crown prince, the contradiction between the crown prince and the emperor was greatly buffered, divided into nine, and even the main contradiction was no longer the contradiction between the crown prince and the emperor, but the "contradiction between the crown prince" between several sons of Kangxi, not to mention whether the nine sons and the emperor were a good way to cultivate the emperor, at least the best way to share the pressure of him as emperor.
Kangxi, who thought that he would be able to clean up after deposing the prince, had no choice but to find that his eighth son was even more terrible.
Yin Yu was intelligent since childhood, and his behavior was not arrogant, because the status of his birth mother was very low, so he was very good at being a person, and his emotional intelligence was very high, one was talented, the other was high emotional intelligence, Yin Yu had made good friends with many princes and ministers in the DPRK for many years, and Yin Yu's status was also very high.
Yin Rong was deposed, in addition to some people advising Kangxi not to do this, more people recommended The Eight Brothers as the crown prince, if one person said that two people said it would be enough, the main problem was that Tong Guowei, Ma Qi, Alinga and others at that time immediately recommended Yin Yu as the crown prince, Kangxi looked at it, this court power has been infiltrated clearly, Yin Yu has become a catastrophe.
At the time of the Eagle Shooting Incident, Kangxi also took this matter out and said that Yin Yu co-opted the ministers, and the ministers kept him as the crown prince, so that we could see Yin Yu's previous premeditations and wolf ambitions, and Kangxi suppressed Yin Rong, and Yin Yu jumped out again, and in order to solve the threat brought by Yin Yu, Kangxi set up Yin Rong again.
Yin Rong was abolished twice, and it can be said that the root cause is Yin Yu.
Later, everyone understood kangxi's meaning, so they no longer talked to Kangxi about this matter in the limelight, and soon after, Kangxi abolished YinRong again, which was the last time Yinrong was abolished, after many things, at this time, the "nine sons and wives" were actually only "six and a half".
The eldest brother Yin Yu was eliminated by Kangxi in advance because of his fierce means, and Yin Rong was destined to be imprisoned for the rest of his life because his position was too stable, and the remaining half of him could not do it, it was Yin Yu.
The reason why there is only half left is because after the "Zhang Mingde" incident, Yin Yu had actually lost the opportunity for Kangxi to favor him, but at that time, it was Yin Yu who was capable of it, and it was most appropriate for him to be emperor, so Yin Yu was in a very delicate situation.
The eagle shooting incident is what happened in this situation.
Judging from the structure of this matter, if Yin Yu was really framed, then the most likely thing is that the remaining brothers, they bought some people and turned these two Hai Dongqing into dead eagles, thus constituting a frame-up of Yin Yu, who is it, it is unknown.
But this possibility is the lowest, because this matter involves the seizure of reserves, before the big brother Yin Yu "rumored" Zhang Mingde incident to frame Yin Yu, Yin Yu was almost executed by Kangxi because of his fierce attack on his brother, and the "Killing Eagle" incident is not difficult to inquire about the truth, if anyone is against the wind, maybe he will be angered by Kangxi.
To say that Yin Yu really cursed Kangxi, this possibility is even less likely, almost non-existent, because there is no motive, if the curse is really useful, the world has changed a long time ago, even if it is really cursed, it is not cursed like Yin Yu, anyway, this kind of suicidal behavior, it can not be yin Yu this kind of person to do.
Judging from the final outcome of the matter, Kangxi justifiably eliminated Yin Yu and removed the threat brought by the eighth son of the emperor, and Kangxi was the biggest beneficiary.
And because of sending "Hai Dongqing" to the emperor, the possibility of this matter being manipulated by people is too small, and the "eagle shooting incident" may be an accident of Kangxi pushing the boat along the water and "self-directing and self-acting", the purpose is to find a reason to play, so as to attack Yin Yu.
If it were not for Kangxi's arrangement, then these two Haidongqing may be their own "fate" is not good, and it is not easy to say that they died halfway for some reason, but unfortunately, Haidongqing's vitality is famous, and this assumption is even more unreasonable.
Only the emperor himself dared to "frame" himself, and the ultimate beneficiary was also Kangxi.
In the long run, suppressing Yin Yu was extremely beneficial to Kangxi, and Kangxi once again vacated the position of crown prince for several years, and in the short term, the four brothers YinChen and the fourteen brothers did not know when Kangxi was in the sky, and this kind of framing had no value to risk.
