Yin Jishan was the son of Yin Tai, a scholar of Dongge University and a soldier, and his biological mother was Yin Tai's concubine Xu Shi. Feudal society pays attention to the difference between concubines, Xu clan is to give birth to a son can not be a mother to the son, at home is still a very low status, qingyi waiter screen, that is, like wearing a maid in green clothes standing to serve the husband and wife.
In the first year of Yongzheng, Yin Jishan entered the army. The Yongzheng Emperor looked at Yin Jishan very pleasantly and gently said to him, "Are you Yin Tai's son?" What a talented man! Yin Jishan was very clever and very sympathetic to the temper of the Yongzheng Emperor, and the Yongzheng Emperor liked him very much, so he became the yongzheng Emperor's favorite.
After Yin Jishan became the governor of Liangjiang, his birth mother Xu Shi still had a low status in the family, and the difference between concubines in the feudal family was still pressed on her head.
In the tenth year of Yongzheng, Yin Jishan was transferred from the viceroy of Liangjiang to the viceroy of Yungui, and before he set out, he came to see the Yongzheng Emperor. The Yongzheng Emperor cordially asked Yin Jishan, "Has your mother been enthroned?" ”
This question stumped Yin Jishan, he was Shu Chu, and his mother-in-law was still his mother, but his mother-in-law had already been sealed. The Yongzheng Emperor saw Yin Jishan's expression of embarrassment and said, "You don't need to say it, you understand what you mean." You are out of the woods. The mother-in-law has been ordained, and the birth mother has not been ordained. There is a purpose to seal your birth mother. ”
This really made Yin Jishan ecstatic, and finally won a position for his mother. He hurriedly prostrated his head to thank Him, but when he returned home, his father Yin Tai was not only not happy, but was furious and angrily rebuked him: "You want to honor your birth mother, and without passing by, I will ask the Emperor to ask for a seal, do you want to use the Emperor's grace to suppress your father?" ”
Yin Tai was really angry, and he took a crutch and beat Yin Jishan, hitting the peacock feathers on Yin Jishan's official hat. Yin Jishan's birth mother, Xu Shi, had not yet enjoyed the honor of Lady Of the Curse, but was punished by Yin Tai to kneel for one night.
The Yongzheng Emperor was very suspicious, and he arranged for The Yongzheng Emperor to make arrangements in the ministers' homes, and the Detailed Emperor immediately informed the Yongzheng Emperor of this matter. The Yongzheng Emperor was Shu Chu, and he did not pay attention to the difference between concubines and concubines at all, so he wanted to help his favorite minister Yin Jishan to vent his anger.
The next day, the Yongzheng Emperor sent someone to Yin Tai's home, and he made Yin Jishan's birth mother Xu Shi a lady of Yipin, and also asked Yin Tai to kneel and worship his concubine Xu Shi. However, The concubine Xu Shi, who was accustomed to serving her husband on weekdays, dared to accept her husband's kneeling and stood up in shock.
The Yongzheng Emperor wanted to buy people's hearts, so he let the birth mother of his favorite subject break through the suppression of the concubine and the husband's power, was he right to do so?
