Speaking of Yongzheng, it is always difficult to avoid thinking of the tragic Nine Sons Andrea incident of that year. For a throne, more than a dozen brothers did not hesitate to meet each other with blood. Probably because of this, even if Yongzheng ascended to the throne, his reputation seems to have been not ideal. Of course, this may not be able to blame him, but can only blame Kangxi for being too able to live, and too unclear about the severity of the incident. However, today we will not talk about the nine sons and sisters, but only to see Yongzheng's attitude towards his two brothers, what this really means.
Yongzheng and the eldest brother Yinyi: The upper cannot be forgiven by the father, and the lower is not loved by the brothers
Kangxi's eldest son, Yongzheng's eldest brother Ai Xinjueluo Yinfu, who was not born low and was not born late, but unfortunately was directly sentenced to death by his old father Kangxi.
Why? When Yin Fu was born as the first child in the palace, the degree of favor can be imagined. But even so, Kangxi did not give him the position of crown prince, but gave it to his second brother Yin Rong, who had just lost his mother at birth.
This incident was still a big blow to Yin, after all, he was the eldest son, and the eldest brother was several years old. Even though the prince later made some mistakes, his father never had the slightest intention of passing on the throne to him. This made Yin Fu very dissatisfied in his heart, so the heart of taking the wife had long existed.
For example, in front of Kangxi, he said that he would kill the prince, use witchcraft to frame and curse the prince. It was precisely because of his unscrupulous means that Kangxi was very disappointed, and when it was found out that he had used witchcraft to harm the prince, he was directly cut off and imprisoned.
Whatever the reason, we all have reason to think that yin's mind is not right, and there is also a shortage of heart and machine. Even his third brother said of him: "The heart is not right, the eyes are blind!" "What do you mean?" This is a sentence from "Mencius Leaving Lou Shang": "If the chest is not right, then the eyes are blind." "That is, if you have a selfish heart, you absolutely can't see right from wrong, and if you don't have the right and wrong, even if you can see right and wrong, it will be black and white upside down."
Therefore, after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he did not have any courtesy to this eldest brother. It should be circled or circled, and it should be hung or dried. Some people wonder that Yin Fu has actually lost the possibility of deliberating on the reserve since the time of Kangxi's reign, so why does Yongzheng have a hard time with his eldest brother? Isn't it great to keep a good name?
This is probably the problem of Yongzheng's heart, when his father had already sentenced YinFu to "death", and he naturally could not overturn his father's decision when he ascended to the throne. In a way, this is filial piety, and the emperor should not be put on the test of injustice.
Secondly, yongzheng and Yin Fu not only have no brotherly feelings, but even have the hatred of taking a wife. When the prince first reigned, Yong yong stood as the prince, which was contrary to the old nature.
After the crown prince was deposed, the brothers fought each other, and Yongzheng supported himself, while Yin Fu was obviously on the side of the old eight. If you think about how much Yongzheng hates the Eight Ye Party, how much hatred there is for Yin.
However, although Yongzheng later became emperor, he could not kill his brothers casually in order to get angry. Especially for someone like Yin Fu, who could no longer argue with him, he kept his life only to establish a good image for himself. As for releasing him and treating him favorably, it was impossible, and Yongzheng would push him to Kangxi: his father hated Yinfu so much when he was there, and he could not release him privately.
Look, this is the relationship between Yongzheng and the eldest brother Yin, obviously hated in his heart, but he can't be superficial. Therefore, he could only imprison it aside, and did not hinder his own eyes.
Yongzheng and the Deposed Crown Prince Yinrong: Lai Yu Kangxi's dying words, it is imperative to open the net
Although Yongzheng's attitude towards the eldest brother was hidden, the second brother, that is, the deposed prince Ai Xinjue Luo Yinrong, was relatively peaceful. Speaking of the wasted prince is also a bitter person, from childhood there is no mother, although he is cared for like a honeypot by his father, but there is bound to be a lack of psychology.
The result? Not only was he raised by his father, but he also had the power to smoke his heart. Sitting on the throne of the prince for decades, only to look at the light, the anxiety in his heart is something that others cannot understand.
The most important thing is that after being abolished, this taste of falling from heaven to earth often makes him resentful in his heart. Moreover, after experiencing two deaths and two wastes, the prince's brain has gone wrong, which can see the seriousness of the blow to him. This is actually worse than death, and Yin's suffering may be manifested in this regard.
However, Kangxi should have loved this son until his death, and although he was deposed, he still let people visit him from time to time, gave things, gave food, and brought the sons of the wasted prince to the palace to raise.
Especially before his death, he deliberately cared for Yongzheng, and to treat his second brother kindly, especially his son Hongchen, he must be sealed and used where he should be used. This may also be the old father's last attachment to his beloved son, and there is only so much he can do.
Therefore, Yongzheng was completely courteous to the deposed prince, and he also gave the deposed prince's son Hongchen the title of prince, but there was one thing he did not do according to Kangxi's requirements: he did not reuse Hongchen, the prince was a prince, but he never interfered in the affairs of the dynasty, which could only be a rich and idle person.
In fact, before the deposed prince was deposed, Yongzheng had always supported the prince. Although according to the TV series, it was out of self-preservation, but the historical records record that after the prince incident came out, Yongzheng was still in a state of salvation, and he did not expect that the person who would eventually succeed to the throne would be himself.
In this way, Yongzheng and the Waste Prince can also be regarded as a person who has a spoon in the pot, which is called his own family. In addition, with his father's dying instructions, he could not completely push back.
Therefore, although the deposed prince had nothing to do with the situation, he was not attacked by Yongzheng. However, he was still imprisoned in the Xian'an Palace, and his son was later moved out and lived in the palace of Zhengjiazhuang in Changping. In fact, this place was the residence that Kangxi later built for the wasted prince, which can also be seen how much Kangxi loved the wasted prince, and even thought of a way back for him.
Not only that, after the death of Kangxi that year, the deposed prince also had a full filial piety: personally crying for his father, which was much stronger than the boss. When the deposed prince died, Yongzheng also gave him enough face, and it was completely handled according to the prince's funeral. And specially dispatched the minister of the guards, the minister of scattered ranks, and the guards, all the way to send each other.
This is the eldest brother and the second brother, although they are the same brother, but because of different political concepts and standards of life, they have different treatment. YongZheng can be said to be very good in this matter, at least he did not deliberately suppress these two people, did not let them die as miserable as the other brothers.
