I remember Liu Bei once said: Women are like clothes, brothers are like brothers and sisters. However, this situation is only effective for the poor, and the children of those rich families, especially among the princes, are often most jealous of their brothers, such as the "nine sons and wives", how tragic and bloody. What makes people wonder is that it is yongzheng who finally seized the throne, but he has changed his normal state, not only accommodating his brother, but even treating him as a son. Is there any wonder who is so lucky? Let's take a look at the smooth life of this lucky god.
The son was precious by his mother, and Yun Yuan was favored by his mother, and as the youngest son of Kangxi, he was loved by his father in every way
This fortunate man was Kangxi's youngest son, Ai Xinjue Luo Yin, who later changed his name to Yun Yuan (允袐) to avoid emperorhood. As for how he was so lucky, it began with his birth.
Before the age of 65, Kangxi already had 23 sons and 11 daughters, not including those who died early and were not included in the genealogy. But as we all know, there are many women in the Kangxi harem, and there will be new people who will continue to be sent in, so the number of his children may be rewritten at any time.
Sure enough, Yun's mother, Chen Shi, gave birth to the 24th crown prince, Yun Yuan, for the 62-year-old Kangxi at this time. There are not many records about the Chen family, only that she is a native of Suzhou and is the daughter of Chen Qishan. As for who Chen Qishan is, it is not mentioned in the data.
The Chen clan is very beautiful, according to the records of Father Ma Guoxian, who later came to the imperial palace in Italy to paint a portrait of Kangxi, when he saw the chen clan sitting in the lake, he was almost shocked and thought that she was a living Buddha.
It turned out that the young and beautiful Chen Clan at that time was wearing a red cape and exquisitely combed, sitting by the lake resting, and the pure beauty of isolation was permeated in the calm. At this time, Yun Yu was already born, about three or four years old, and was sitting next to Chen Shi.
It was later explained by the eunuch that Ma Guoxian learned that she was not a living Buddha or anything like that, but a small lord of the Kangxi harem, called Mu Concubine.
Through this record, it is not difficult for us to imagine that Kangxi was already in his sixties, and he was naturally quite concerned about such a young and beautiful woman, especially since she also gave birth to a real "old man" for Kangxi: Yun Yuan, so how could she not be favored by Kangxi?
Of course, although Yun Yu was still young at the time, he was also favored by Kangxi by his mother. It may be that the Kangxi of this period has entered the old age, and will always be touched by the tenderness of the young son, and naturally the tolerance and love for Yun Yuan are different.
It can be said that since he was born, Yoon Yu has always received various preferential treatment due to his young age. Not only did his father Kangxi love him, but those imperial brothers who had already grown up were also kind to him because of the huge age difference.
After losing his father at the age of six and losing his mother not long after, Yun Yu was raised like a son by Yongzheng and became a prince at the age of seventeen
Unfortunately, when Yun Yu was six years old, Kangxi died in the Changchun Garden of the Imperial Garden in the western suburbs. At that time, when the Ninth Son's conquest was in full swing, according to the film and television plot record of the "Yongzheng Dynasty", Yun Yu played a "big role" at this time.
At that time, all the brothers were confused and unconscious, thus deliberately confusing the candidates for the future emperor, especially the Ninth Brother, the Tenth Brother and others, and directly did not recognize the fact that Kangxi had said that "the fourth brother was passed on".
At this time, Yun Yuan, who was only six years old, stood up and supported Yongzheng, saying that he had heard his father's last words: Chuan is located in the Fourth Brother. Of course, this is a need for the plot, and there is no such record in the historical data.
However, from the fate of Yun Yuan from the back, we seem to be able to see a little problem: after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he took care of this youngest brother abnormally. Not only did he put him in the palace to raise him with his sons, but he also taught and tutored him at the same time.
Of course, this also has a premise, in the beginning, Yun Yuan lived with his mother Chen Shi. But within a few years, Chen died of illness. She is said to have died under the age of thirty, the first of Kangxi's young concubines to die.
At that time, Qianlong was a few years older than Yun Yuan, about five years old, so qianlong himself later recalled the incident and said: "Prince Zhen has been studying with his brothers in the palace since he was a child. ”
Not only that, Qianlong also witnessed Yun Yu's later life, and said it more objectively: "The king (referring to Yun Yu) was idle in nature, did not know how to learn from him, and with the intention of the deputy emperor's hope, repeatedly annoyed the sacred heart, and lowered his will to reprimand, and the king still did not change, and all of them were seen by Yuan. ”
From this, we can see how tolerant and preferential Yongzheng was to this super young brother at that time. If it weren't for the deep brotherhood, I'm afraid it would have been to repay the "grace of one word" of that year.
In addition to his upbringing, it is said that Yun Yu was only 15 years old when he was already trusted by Yongzheng and could go to the Taimiao Temple to participate in the ceremony. When Yun Yu was 17 years old, Yongzheng directly crowned him as a prince. This incident is recorded in the Records of Emperor Zongxian of the Great Qing Dynasty: "The younger brother Yun Yu was loyal and peaceful, and was loved by the Emperor. Over the past few years, he has been studying in the palace, and his knowledge has gradually increased, and he has become a prince with joy in his heart. ”
As far as Kangxi's more than thirty sons were concerned, Yun Yu was the first to be crowned prince in his teens. This alone can be imagined where it is highly favored.
At the age of twenty-five, he lived above his nephew's court, and was supported by Qianlong, although he made small mistakes, he finally achieved a perfect life
Before the age of six, he was pampered in front of his father Kangxi, and after the age of six, he was treated favorably in front of his brother Yongzheng, and such a Yun Yu was obviously a winner in life. But what people did not expect was that after Qianlong took the throne, Yun Yuan was still treated kindly.
At that time, Qianlong enfeoffed Yun Yu as the ruler of Mongolia with a white flag, what kind of official position was this? It's not small to say, for the duty of a product,
Higher than the Han Banner of the Eighth Army. Its specific responsibilities can be understood through zeng guofan's words: "The eight banners are strong, defending the Beijing division with a strong half of the Yi, and garrisoning the world with less and half." ”
That is to say, at that time, Yun Yu was deeply trusted and reused by Qianlong, and the country's strong brigade was handed over to him to defend the security of Beijing and the safety of the world. In addition, Yun Yu was also entrusted with the task of managing the affairs of the Clan Mansion and the Imperial Study And Imperial Palace.
However, it is said that Yun Yu was also reprimanded by Qianlong. At that time, Qianlong was deeply annoyed by the behavior of the Eight Banners disciples in not keeping the old rules, and accused them on the spot during the dinner. But at this time, Yun Yu didn't take it seriously at all, and when Qianlong hadn't put down his chopsticks, he actually finished eating and put down the chopsticks first.
This was obviously a very disrespectful act, and for Yu Yunyuan, he grew up with Qianlong because he was too familiar with them and may have already ignored these details. But the problem was that Qianlong was different, especially as the head of a country, and because he had just finished talking about the etiquette norms of the monarchs and subjects, he allowed him to deny himself on the spot.
Therefore, on this occasion, Qianlong reprimanded Yun Yu on the spot, saying that he was very rude, did not abide by the rules, and did not abide by the old rules. This was the only recorded reprimand in Yoon-ko's life, but it was clear that this incident did not have any impact on Yoon-ko, because his later life was still very moist and happy.
According to records, Yun Yu took five wives and concubines in his lifetime, and his Fujin was the daughter of Haifang, the minister of the Uya clan. The relationship between the husband and wife was very good, and the Uya clan bore him a total of six children.
Although the number of children of Yun Yu is incomparable with that of his father Kangxi, there are many more than Yongzhengke, a total of four sons and seven daughters, but unfortunately, most of the daughters die early, and the sons all live to be fifty or sixty years old.
Yun Yu died at the age of 57, was given the title of "Prince Ke" by Qianlong, and was buried in Pinggu, Beijing. Yun Yuan, who had no worries in his life, lived a life of plain and plain life, but he enjoyed the blessings of the Qi people and received the royal preferential treatment, which is something that many royal descendants dream of and cannot get.
Some people say that the reason why Yun Yu has no wind and rain in his life is that his age of birth has brought advantages, and if he is older, he will also be dealt with by Yongzheng. Who knows, in history, there are no cases of princes who are so young that they are not threatening, and their fate is equally tragic and abnormal. The phrase "May the next life not be born again in the imperial family" is the best interpretation, so whether a person is lucky or not should not be proportional to his age.
