Among all kinds of Qingpu dramas or Qingpu novels, the most popular is the Kowloon Conquest incident during the Kangxi Dynasty. At the time of the popularity of the Qing wear drama, the little girls were crying and shouting to marry the gentle and jade eight brothers, or the four brothers who were secretly affectionate. These two, as the most high-profile princes during the Kowloon conquest period, have extremely high business, talent and ability, and have very characteristic personalities, and they are completely different:
A gentle and elegant, like a spring breeze, he is quite famous among the ministers and has the support of the courtiers;
A cold-hearted, good at forbearance, extremely deep-minded, and well hidden his ambitions.
Therefore, the result was also very different, one lost in the fierce struggle for the throne, and finally died at the age of forty-six; a victor who stood out as a victor in the imperial throne and became a famous diligent emperor in The history of Qing, laying the foundation for the later Qianlong prosperous era. The comparison between the two is really very interesting, so in the novels of the Qing Dynasty, the appearance rate of these two is not generally high.
Today, let's make a simple comparison to see which of these two people is better or worse.
First, from the point of view of the body.
Their birth mothers were of very low status at that time. The fourth brother YinChen, the birth mother of the Princess Dewu Ya clan. Wu Yashi was born as a slave in a wrapped robe, and after giving birth to Yin Chan, he was not qualified to raise him at all. And the Eight Brothers Yin Yu, the birth mother of the Liang Concubine Wei Clan, born in Xin Zhiku, of course, are even less qualified to raise the crown prince. According to the harem, the two were equal in status, while Yin Chan was slightly better. Because Wei Shi is the body of sin, but it is not much better.
It's just that in comparison, Yin Chan's luck is really much better.
At that time, the imperial concubine Tong Jia was empty under her knees, and when she saw Yin Chan lively and lovely, she aroused a full of maternal love. So, she adopted Yin Chan. Since ancient times, imperial concubines have been equivalent to vice empresses, especially when Kangxi did not appoint empresses. And Tong Jiashi is actually the hostess of the Kangxi harem. Therefore, Yin Chan was almost half a concubine, and his status was greatly improved.
However, the Tong Jia clan was the mother clan of the Kangxi Emperor, and was powerful in the dynasty, and Yin Chan was adopted and supported by "foreign families". Although Huifei, the adoptive mother of Brother Ba'a, was also from a noble family and had a huge family power, at that time, Princess Huifei already had her own biological son Chenghuan at the knee, and naturally there were not many who could be given to Yin.
Therefore, The Eight Brothers can only rely on their own efforts to accumulate contacts.
Second, from the perspective of mental mechanism.
These two can get a place in the Kowloon conquest, and the mental means are naturally not general. Yin Yu's advantage is that he has been neglected since he was a child, and at a young age, he has tasted the cold and warmth of the world and is naturally more familiar with human feelings, and he is extremely smooth to people and things and is not easy to suffer losses. As for Yin Chan, Tong Jia was loved a lot when he was alive, but as soon as his adoptive mother died, his birth mother had his brother Chenghuan by his side, and in an instant he became a father who did not love his mother.
Therefore, it has created first-class ninja skills.
After Kangxi deposed the crown prince, the ambitions of the princes began to stir. No one could resist the temptation of the supreme position under the heavens, so one by one, they all performed vigorously between the emperor and the ministers. At this time, Yin Chan's first-class forbearance skills were very important, even if the prince was in two wastes, he was still not in a hurry. He can be patient and see the real situation better than the people in the game.
As Kangxi grew older, Yin Chan carefully restrained his desire for the throne and was extremely filial to Kangxi. Although Yin Yu was quite a good person and had many supporters among the courtiers, he was too anxious and showed his ambition on his face, which made the elderly Kangxi Emperor very vigilant. In particular, Kangxi saw the threat of the Eight Brothers, and as a result, he soon lost his imperial heart.
From this point of view, it is obvious that Yin Chan is still more skilled.
Third, from the perspective of Kangxi's love.
Yin Yu was very smart at a young age, very good in his studies, can be described as both literary and martial, coupled with his friendly personality, Kangxi loved him very early. At the age of seventeen, Kangxi crowned him as Baylor, becoming the youngest knight at the time. And Yin Chan did not like to talk since he was a child, and Kangxi did not pay much attention to him, plus, the imperial concubine died early, naturally he could not say good things for him in front of the Kangxi Emperor.
Therefore, the early Kangxi dynasty greatly exceeded Yin Chan's fondness.
However, all this changed in the late Kangxi period.
Yin Yu was too eager to expose his ambitions early, and there was also the "killing of the eagle" incident, which made Kangxi particularly unhappy to see Yin Yu from then on. Yin Chan, on the other hand, has always been a low-key person, buried his head in doing things, and occasionally fulfilled his filial piety in front of Kangxi. He not only showed his political ability, but also showed his non-threatening nature. Therefore, in the later period, Kangxi was very fond of Yin Chan, and even asked him to preside over the suburban festival on his behalf.
Fourth, from the perspective of the wives and clans of the two men.
Yin Yu married a wife of Prince An's granddaughter Guo Luoluoshi, and although she was helped by the power of the wife clan, she was also controlled by the wife clan, and Kangxi did not like Guo Luoluo much. And Yin Chan's backyard, not much better, a water han army flag. However, Qianlong's birth mother was favored by Kangxi, and even said in front of Yin Chan that Niu Hulu was a blessed woman.
Combining the above four points, Yin Chan's advantages are still very obvious, and obtaining the throne is well deserved.
Yin Yu is talented, has achieved achievements in martial arts, has excellent communication skills, and is also a good hand at attracting people's hearts. However, his heart was also extremely deep, and he knew that he had a good reputation for himself when he was young. As an adult, among the princes and ministers, there were also many supporters. And this kind of person who is gentle on the surface is actually a person with a deep heart, and he is the most terrible!
However, in any case, Yin Chan still gained the throne and became the third emperor after the Qing Dynasty made the capital of Beijing.
