The Ninth Son Must Be Known to Everyone, even if they have not read the history books, they have seen it in film and television dramas. The Kowloon Conquest took place during the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, when nine of Kangxi's sons all wanted to inherit the throne and began a struggle for the throne. Nine of Kangxi's 24 sons participated in the battle, of which the Eighth Brother Yinchen was the most powerful, but he was ultimately defeated by the Fourth Brother Yinchen, later the Yongzheng Emperor. So why did the Eight Brothers Yin Yu have the strongest strength, why did they lose to the Four Brothers in the battle for the throne? In ancient times, whether a concubine was favored by the emperor had a lot to do with the children of the concubine, that is, what we usually call the mother and the child. In ancient China, the idea of favoring sons over daughters was serious, and the status of mothers would be improved with the eminence of their sons. If a concubine does not see the emperor for a long time, it means that his son is not valued by the emperor.
The mother of the Eight Brothers, Concubine Wei, was the daughter of the Inner Guan Lord, and of low status, she entered the palace through the draft and gave birth to the Eighth Princess in the twentieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty. The Eight Princes were a very capable man, and he established a party with himself as the center of power, called the Eight Ye Party. The Eight Masters' Party included many courtiers, including the Ninth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince, Ma Qi, Jing Xi, Wu Erzhan, Abrand, and many other courtiers. Crown Prince Yinrong was born in Kunning Palace, the second crown prince of Kangxi, and his mother Empress Xiaochengren Died of Difficult Childbirth. Yin Rong was made crown prince just after reaching the age of one year, and he was intelligent and studious from an early age, and was deeply loved by Kangxi. In the forty-seventh year of kangxi, he followed Kangxi on his tour. On the way to the tour, his younger brother the Eighteenth Prince fell ill, and both the emperor and the ministers were worried and very worried, but the prince seemed to stay out of the matter and did not care, and Kangxi was very dissatisfied with his behavior.
In addition, the crown prince was spying outside Kangxi's tent, and Kangxi suspected that he wanted to kill his father, so he deposed the prince. In 1709, Kangxi Erli Yin was made crown prince. A year later, because the prince wanted to force himself to give way, he deposed the prince again. Yin Rong served as crown prince for thirty years, twice deposed, twice deposed, and finally imprisoned in Xian'an Palace, until his death in 1724, at the age of 51. In the forty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the emperor wanted to create another crown prince and ordered his subjects to recommend him. The Eighth Prince, Yin Yu, had long been eager to move, and he instigated the ministers to elect him. The ministers of the court, led by Ma Qi and Aling'a, all believed that the eight princes could take on this important task, and more than half of the ministers elected the eight princes. This result surprised Kangxi so much that he became disgusted with Yin. Yin Yu's power was too strong, which caused Kangxi to have a sense of crisis, just imagine that the courtiers were dependent on the heir, where did they leave the emperor? From this point of view, one of the important reasons for Yin Yu's failure was that he was too anxious.
After this incident, the defeat of the Eight Brothers was decided, and the Eight Brothers, who had no hope of succeeding to the throne, later began to support the Fourteenth Prince Yin Yu. Unfortunately, the fourteenth prince Yin Chan was also defeated by Yin Chan in the end. The four princes eventually won the battle and succeeded to the throne in 1722. After Yongzheng ascended the throne. Yin Yu and the others were not reconciled, and the struggle between the two sides continued. Soon after, Yongzheng imprisoned the fourteenth prince Yin Yu and regained his military power. He also changed yin yu to Akina, and yin yu changed his name to Seth Hei. In his later years, Kangxi had already realized the serious problems of the Qing Dynasty, but at that time he was unable to rectify it. Although Yin Yu won the support of many courtiers, he was not suitable for reform. Yongzheng had managed the household department, and his ability was recognized by Kangxi, and only a strict, upright, cold and courageous person like Yongzheng could carry out the reform to the end. Yongzheng reigned for thirteen years, was diligent in government affairs, carried out reforms, and was a very outstanding emperor who made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty.
