After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, in order to consolidate his power, he brutally suppressed the imperial brothers who had participated in the struggle for concubines. Emperor Ten Sons Yin? Because in the war of conquest, the opposition to Yongzheng was very fierce. Yongzheng was the first to attack the prince, but he was the one who was the lightest suppressed. What's going on?
(Yin?) Stills)
posterity? Born in the twenty-second year of the Kangxi Dynasty, his biological mother was the Wen Concubine Niu Cobalt Lu clan.
Kangxi had 35 princes in his lifetime, and due to the backward medical conditions at that time, 11 princes did not survive to adulthood. However, the remaining 24 princes not only grew up, but also because Kangxi attached great importance to education, they were both literate and martial, and they were all excellent.
Of course, among these adult princes, there are also those who are lagging behind, such as the Emperor's Tenth Son Yin?
The Qing Dynasty was a hierarchical imperial dynasty, and it was not easy for concubines to get ahead in the harem. First of all, they must have a proud family lineage, that is, birth.
And Wen Xian's concubine's origin is simply not to be said. Her ancestors were founding heroes, her father was one of the four auxiliary ministers of the Kangxi dynasty, and her sister was Kangxi's step-empress Xiaozhaoren. Therefore, as soon as Concubine Wen entered the palace, she was made a concubine, and before she could give birth to an heir, she was promoted to a noble concubine.
posterity? Luckier than other princes, because when he was born, Wen Xian's position in the harem was already second only to that of the empress, so she was qualified to raise him personally. So, Yin? Since childhood, I have never tasted the bitter taste of separation from my birth mother. Coupled with the fact that Concubine Wen was extremely doting on him, this also made him happy and lacked the competitive personality of other princes.
(Stills of Wen Xian Guifei)
This performance can be seen from the reading of the princes.
At that time, in order to get Kangxi's favor, all the princes studied very hard, such as the third son of the emperor, Yin Yu, the eighth son of the emperor, and the fourteenth son of the emperor, Yin Yu, with their superior knowledge and riding and shooting, they were all princes that Kangxi was proud of.
But Yin? Mediocre qualifications, but also unwilling to suffer hardships, so whether it is academic or riding and shooting, it is very sparse and ordinary, so Yin? It could hardly attract Kangxi's attention.
In addition, Yin? Although the son was noble to his mother, when he was born, Empress Xiaozhaoren had already died of illness, and Concubine Wen gradually lost Kangxi's favor due to her usual arrogance in the harem. So, Yin? Although he was of noble origin compared to other princes, he was not favored in front of Kangxi.
Thirty-three years after the Kangxi Dynasty, The Long-Treated Concubine Wen died of depression. At this time, Yin? But it's an 11-year-old.
Fortunately, among the princes, Yin? There was also a very intimate little brother, that is, The Ninth Son of the Emperor Yin, who was only a month older than him.
Yin Yu did not use any skills in reading, but he was extremely intelligent as a person, and there were always all kinds of ghost ideas. So Yin? Always in the same place with him, the feelings of the two are also particularly deep.
(Yin Yu stills)
In the forty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Kangxi deposed the crown prince For the first time, and the seizure of the ninth son began.
At that time, the comprehensive conditions of the eighth prince Yin Yu were the best, he was not only prepared for both literature and martial arts, but also courtiers and scholars, and even in the folk, he also had the reputation of "Eight Sages King".
Yin Yu, who was good at speculation, naturally became the most determined member of the Eight Masters Party. As a result, he became a supporter of Yin Yu.
At that time, Yin? With great power, he did not take Yongzheng in his eyes at all, and even opposed him everywhere.
In the sixty-first year of the Kangxi Dynasty, kangxi died of illness in changchun garden at the age of 69, and Yongzheng followed the edict to inherit the throne.
Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, not only making everyone unprepared, but also the people are suspicious of this. Even his birth mother, Princess De, could not accept this reality, and refused to accept the title of empress dowager in front of everyone, which made Yongzheng extremely embarrassed.
The birth mother is still like this, and the princes are naturally dissatisfied with Yongzheng's ascension to the throne.
Yongzheng did not rush to attack the brothers of the emperors, but instead added the princes who had participated in the conquest to the throne. For example, the most influential Yin Yu was crowned the Prince of Heshuo Lian, and at the same time, he and Long Keduo and others were made prime ministers of imperial court affairs to show favor.
Yongzheng's move to make Yin? Others believe that Yongzheng is afraid of Yin's influence, so they still do not pay attention to Yongzheng, who has become a new monarch.
(Yongzheng stills)
In the first year of Yongzheng, the Tibetan living Buddha Zebu Tsundambahu Tuketu went to the capital to worship the Kangxi Zi Palace, but he died of a violent illness.
After Yongzheng cremated it, he commanded Yin? Return its shrine to Khalkha.
posterity? After receiving the order, he muttered in his heart, suspecting that Yongzheng wanted to exile him, so he refused to leave.
Yongzheng sent people to urge several times, and he always prevaricated on the grounds of "no luggage".
So, Yongzheng is Yin again? Pack your horse luggage. After everything is fully prepared, Yin? There was nothing to say, so I had to go on the road in a negative mood.
But Yin? When I walked to Zhangjiakou, I pushed that I was "sick" and refused to move forward.
This stay is more than a year, and I don't mention it at all.
The local officials were afraid of being implicated, and Yongzheng did not accuse Yin.
posterity? Seeing this, I became more and more ignorant of convergence and did not know the inspection point at the local level.
Soon after, Yongzheng impeached the local yin. The charges were handed over to Yin Yu and he was asked to deal with the matter.
Yin Yu knew that things were not good, and hurried to give yin? He wrote a letter asking him to go on the road immediately, and then reported to Yongzheng.
As a result, Yongzheng was even more unhappy, what does this mean? Dare to take him as the emperor inappropriately, and all listen to Yin Yu's orders.
Therefore, Yongzheng directly lost his temper and said, if he doesn't want to go, don't go, you are shielding for him, you are doing this smoothly, is it a party for personal gain, deliberately opposing me!
(Yin Yu stills)
Yin Yu was helpless, so he impeached Yin? The song was cleaned up one by one, a total of 28 crimes were listed, and then Yongzheng was played, requesting that Yin be replaced. He was stripped of his post, his family property was confiscated, and he was imprisoned in the clan government for punishment.
After Yongzheng read Yin Yu's performance, he commented on Yin?" Despicable, rebellious, literary and martial arts, accomplishing nothing, is the father and emperor do not count the prince. But he has a sinister nature and never knows how to keep to himself."
Subsequently, Yongzheng summoned the ministers and showed Yin Yu's performance to everyone, and then said that although Yin Yu had fixed Yin? But he, the brother, really can't bear to give Yin? He was convicted of a felony, so he was only dismissed from his post and imprisoned in the palace.
The ministers of culture and martial arts were all people who had been honing in the official arena for a long time, so how could they not understand Yongzheng's intentions? Therefore, everyone began to impeach the princes who had participated in the conquest of the concubine. Soon after, both Yin Yu and Yin Yu suffered a catastrophe and were imprisoned to death, and the other princes who participated in the conquest did not have a good end.
Although he was the first prince to be stabbed, he did not live until Qianlong died in the sixth year.
So, why did Yongzheng let him go alone?
This and Yin? The origin of the family has a great relationship.
posterity? With the change of generations of emperors, the Nyulülu clan of his maternal uncle had a deep-rooted influence in the dynasty. What if you put Yin? The suppression was too fierce, and Yongzheng was worried that the Niuhulu clan would unite with Yin Yu and other princes, which would not be conducive to his consolidation of imperial power.
Also, Yin? Although he opposed Yongzheng during the conquest of the concubine, he could only be regarded as a soy sauce fighter in the Eight Masters Party.
The one who really co-opted the courtiers for Yin Yu and contributed money was Yin Yu, who was known as the "Poison Old Nine". So, Yongzheng thinks Yin? There was no threat to his imperial power.
Yongzheng is a person with strong political ability, and his move undoubtedly gave the ministers a signal, allowing him to easily get rid of Yin Yu and others in the later stages, without causing the situation to fluctuate.
