The Daoguang Emperor made Yi Da the crown prince, that is, the future Xianfeng Emperor, there is a legend in the wild history, the main reason is because Yi Da's master Du Shoutian "played tricks", let's talk about this so-called means:
It is said that once the Daoguang Emperor took the crown princes Yi Da and Yi Bi to hunt and go hunting, in which Dao Guang wanted to test the skills of these two princes, so he ordered the two to take orders in front of the yellow tent, and when the second son arrived, Dao Guang said: Today's prey is fat and strong, and specially orders you two to limit it to one hour, to see who hunts more wild harvests, go. After an hour, come to the Father with your booty to report. There is a reward.
As a result, Yi Shi, who originally liked to hunt, was sprinkled with joy, a hare on the left, a pheasant on the right, and after a while, he would get wild slowly, and in the blink of an eye, he actually found nothing, but this was Du Shitian, who was anxious to spoil Yi Da's master, he frowned, counting his heart, he hurriedly pulled the beloved disciple Yi Da down to the side, and attached to the ear, you simply did not send an arrow, and then you followed my method.............
In this way, when an hour came, the two princes came to the father's account to resume their lives, and Yi Bi said: Father Emperor, the prey I hunted here is a total of 20 rabbits, 10 pheasants, and three deer. Xian Feng looked at it with joy and turned his head to ask Yi Da, what about your prey? Yi Da said: Father Emperor, I have no prey, because I really can't bear to kill these newly bred cubs, and I am afraid that their parents will be sad. Daoguang was touched by this remark and decided that Yi Da was a benevolent and righteous prince, so he wrote Yi Da's name on the edict of his succession.
The thesis is riding and shooting, YiXuan is far better than Yixuan, and yixuan fell on his horse and lame in his early years, so many people are puzzled by this, or believe in those wild histories, thinking that Yixuan was taught by the teacher Du Shoutian some opportunistic small tricks before finally ascending to the throne.
Actually, it's too simple to think about. Daoguang's choice of Yixuan is the optimal solution made through the consideration of origin, personality, opportunities and other aspects.
When an ancient emperor chose an heir, the first consideration must not be talent, but birth. The so-called "establish a wife to grow", "abolish the long and establish the young, take the way of chaos".
Although the Qing Dynasty was not a Han Chinese regime, it also had a considerable obsession with this point since it entered the Central Plains. Kangxi made Yin Rong, who was only one year old, born to Empress Xiaochengren, crown prince, and later abolished and restored, which was deeply influenced by this system of primogeniture.
The Daoguang Emperor had three empresses during his lifetime, the first of whom was originally the Empress Xiaomucheng of the Niuhulu clan, and the second of whom was empress Dowager Tong Jia of Xiaoshencheng, both of whom had no heirs. The third empress was the birth mother of the Xianfeng Emperor Yixuan, Empress Xiao Quancheng of the Niuhulu clan.
She was drafted into the palace in the second year of Daoguang, first named Full Concubine, promoted to Full Concubine the following year, and another year later, she became a full concubine, becoming a woman in the harem second only to the empress. After the death of Empress Xiaoshencheng in the thirteenth year of Daoguang, he was promoted to imperial concubine, and after taking the same position, he took charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and in the following year he really sat on the throne of the empress.
Niu Hulu's belly was even more contentious, and he gave birth to the third daughter of the emperor and the fourth daughter of the emperor, and gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor, Yi Xi, in the eleventh year of Daoguang, although at that time she was only a noble concubine, strictly speaking, Yi Xi was not a concubine, but with the sealing of the Niu Hu Lu clan, the son was noble by his mother, and Yi Xi was the only person who could be called the emperor's concubine.
It is worth noting that when Quan Guifei gave birth to YiXuan, Daoguang's first three sons had already died, and Yixuan's birth solved the embarrassment of the emperor without a queen. With this, Daoguang must also look up to him.
Therefore, Yi Xi can not only be counted as a concubine, but also the actual eldest son, wearing the hat of the eldest son, not to mention that the heir is none other than him, but also at least 30% more than others!
And Yi Chen's mother, Borjigit, although she was also a very favored concubine, once gave birth to the emperor's second son Yi Gang and the emperor's third son Yi Ji for Daoguang, but her luck was very bad, both of them died one after another, otherwise she might be able to overpower Quan Guifei in the future harem struggle.
By the time Daoguang gave birth to YiXuan in the twelfth year, Daoguang already had two healthy princes, and the significance of this son was not so great.
The Borzigit clan could only follow the NiuHulu clan, and when the Niuhulu clan was a full concubine, she was a jing concubine; the niuhulu clan became an imperial concubine and then became an empress, and she became a jinggui concubine. When the Niu Hulu clan died in Daoguang for twenty years, Jing Guifei became an imperial concubine, and Daoguang suddenly remembered the old and no longer became empress!
Thinking about it, she is also quite depressed, and it is this step that makes Yi Chen actually lose at the starting line.
