"The Feng Shui of the Forbidden City will certainly not let you perish." The TV series "The Biography of Zhen Huan" was popular all over the country that year. This TV series not only allows us to see the sad life of many concubines in the red wall and green tiles, but also lets us see the poignant love story between Zhen Huan and the gentle and understanding Seventeenth Master Yunli. It can be described as a twist and turn, and it is heartbreaking to watch.
The impressive Seventeenth Master in the TV series "The Biography of Zhen Huan", the sense of existence has been unforgettable. At first, he was an idle prince who was at ease, and he and Yongzheng were also brothers with good relations. Later, for the sake of Zhen Huan, he was jealous of Yongzheng, and finally drank poison and died in order to save Zhen Huan. This ending made the audience regret it. Dramatic TV dramas always deviate from real history. Let's take a look at what the historical gift was like.
In fact, the historical Yunli was not suspected and doubted by Yongzheng, but attached great importance to him. When Yongzheng was dying, he also asked him to assist the government around Hongli. Yongzheng has always treated this younger brother not thinly, but after Yongzheng died and Qianlong ascended the throne, although he was initially favored, for a long time, he still "things are not human" and suffered the fate of dismissal.
Yun Li was the seventeenth son of the Kangxi Emperor, and his mother was not favored, and the highest rank was only a concubine. It can be seen that he is not very popular with Kangxi, and even with Yun Li, he is not favored. The Kangxi Emperor had many children, and Yun Li had always been a dispensable person in the palace, and he was only 25 years old when Kangxi died.
At this time, the other brothers had already established their own royal palaces and were knighted, but at the age of 25, he was still a brother in the palace. Sometimes it is a blessing not to argue or to grab. Almost all the powerful brothers were involved in the nine sons and wives. Yongzheng finally won, and the other brothers were reduced to prisoners, and the end was miserable.
And Yun Li has always been a transparent person, plus he has not established his own royal palace, no one will take him seriously, and will not think of taking him as a public target. He escaped this catastrophe, and after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he was given the title of "King of Guojun". We all know that Nian Qianyao still made a lot of efforts for Yongzheng to ascend to the throne, and because he was a great hero, he was also high-minded and arrogant later.
Yongzheng was always dissatisfied with him, so he thought of reusing Yunli to restrain Nian Tangyao, and it wasn't long before Yongzheng made Yunli the Prince of Guo.
Yongzheng later put Yunli in charge of important departments in the DPRK, such as the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Households. In addition, he was allowed to manage the border to pacify the border tribes. Yun Li also lived up to the trust, as long as he was responsible for the well-organized care. In this way, he became more and more trusted by Yongzheng, and Yongzheng also used him more and more.
In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng's body was also "twilight" at this time. In the end, he did not survive and drove to the west of the crane, and on his deathbed, he also instructed Yunli to assist Hongli. That is, Yongzheng's dying instructions laid the groundwork for Yunli's later encounters.
As the saying goes: "Companion is like a companion tiger". Even though Hongli had just ascended to the throne, he still had great respect for Yunli, the imperial uncle, and gave many benefits that ordinary people could not enjoy. Not only did he double his prostrations, but he was also exempted from prostration. Such a high treatment has never been seen before. Later, Qianlong also gave Prince Guo the excuse that he was old and in poor health, and allowed him to recuperate at home and go to work for one day in three or five days.
It can be seen from this that Qianlong is not thin in his treatment of the emperor. However, over time, things changed. He was indeed extremely generous and generous, but this was nothing more than showing that he was treating meritorious people well, so that the people of the world felt that the emperor was generous. But Yunli failed to understand that he had been "taken for granted" to receive these favors. Taking the emperor seriously about everything he had, it also heralded his coming good days.
Just like Yongzheng waiting for Nian Tangyao, ben because Nian Tangyao has made great contributions, Yongzheng is ready to be prepared. But Nian Tangyao was overwhelmed and "took the emperor's gift to life", and the consequences could be imagined. The same is true of Qianlong's relationship with Yunli. Excessive power will cause dissatisfaction and suspicion.
Conclusion: Sure enough, it didn't take long for Qianlong to casually find a reason and cancel the double of YunLi. There are also historical records that Yun Li was deposed for his crimes. In general, the reason why Yun Li was finally convicted was because he really regarded himself as Qianlong's "imperial uncle", he forgot his duty, forgot that he was still a courtier under the emperor in the final analysis.
