Qianlong not only rehabilitated Yin Yu, but also restored the titles and clan titles of all the imperial uncles who were severely punished by Yongzheng, and some people said that Qianlong's decision to negate Yongzheng in doing so was a great act of filial piety, but in fact Qianlong's doing so had a great relationship with the political background at that time.
(Succeeded by Qianlong)
Speaking of which, the Qing Dynasty, after the efforts of the emperors of the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, when Qianlong took over, Guotai Min'an, the world was at peace, and on the issue of handing over the throne, Yongzheng was well arranged, so the transfer of imperial power was smoother than that of previous dynasties.
Qianlong had a year of intersection with Kangxi in his youth, and it can be said that in his mind, Kangxi was his idol, and Kangxi's benevolent government also deeply influenced him.
Before Qianlong succeeded to the throne, due to the protection of Yongzheng, there was no problem of mutual exchanges with the former imperial ministers, so after he succeeded to the throne, there were no confidants to use, and he could only obey Yongzheng's will and appoint Prince Zhuang Yunlu, Prince Guo Yunli, University Scholar Ortai and Zhang Tingyu as prime ministers.
Qianlong, assisted by several ministers, made some reflections on Yongzheng's iron-fisted regime and rectified some harsh policies.
Qianlong's measures were immediately supported by both the government and the public, and according to the Qing dynasty yuan ming, in the first year of Qianlong, every time Qianlong issued an edict, he would be cheered by courtiers and the people, and even compared Qianlong to the prince of Yao Shun.
(Kangqian Shengshi)
Qianlong wanted to be a benevolent ruler who loved the people, and he also wanted to be the head of the Ai Xinjue Luo family.
He must not only win the hearts and minds of the people, but also the support of the clan, so that his imperial power can be more stable. Therefore, in the spirit of "pro-kinship and harmony", he overturned the cases of Emperor Yun, Yun Yu, and others who had been imprisoned by Yongzheng one by one, and lifted the captivity, restored their titles, and some even restored their official positions.
This move not only eased the historical contradictions caused by the members of the imperial family to compete for the throne, but also appeased the hearts of the clansmen, and Qianlong's imperial power was consolidated.
However, The Emperor's uncles, Yun Yu and Yun Yu, did not overturn the case for a long time.
It was not until the forty-third year of Qianlong that Qianlong issued an edict to restore the original names of Yun Yu and Yun Yu and to merge them into the clan.
Why did Qianlong drag on for so long before he overturned the case for Yun Yu and Yun Yu?
In fact, as early as the early years of Qianlong, Qianlong originally wanted to overturn the case together, but when the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he constantly overturned the decisions of the previous emperors, which was an extremely filial act.
(Yin Yu)
When Yin Yu and Yin Yu first fought with YongZheng, they were the two most tit-for-tat people, and Yongzheng hated them so much that he not only stripped them of their titles and clans, but also renamed them "Akina" and "SethHei" (meaning pig and dog), and finally imprisoned them permanently within the high wall.
If Qianlong also denied Yongzheng's decision on this matter, it would be equivalent to punching Yongzheng in the face in front of the people of the world, and he could not do this.
Therefore, he has been thinking about how to find an excuse that can not only maintain Yongzheng's face, but also overturn the case for Yun Yu and Yun Yu.
Forty-three years after Qianlong, the older generation has almost died, and the historical scars have gradually healed.
Qianlong duly issued an edict, first saying that Yin Yu and Yin Yu were "concerned about mental skills", "coveting snooping, sincerity is inevitable, and Emperor Kao Shao Deng's great treasure, complaining about slander, and also having feelings", thus affirming that Yongzheng was right to deal with the two.
