Friends who know the history of the Qing Dynasty should know a little more or less about the deeds of several emperors such as Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, so the story of the "Nine Sons Seizing The Concubine" in the late Kangxi period should be no stranger, at that time, in order to compete for an imperial throne, how many people put their lives into it, how many people did their best to get closer to it, how many conspiracies and tricks were made, and the four brothers who experienced this bloody storm were the four brothers who finally sat on the throne as Yongzheng finally sat on the throne as he wished.
However, even though he successfully became emperor after carrying through various difficulties, he encountered the biggest problem at the last moment, that is, his birth mother Empress Xiaogongren, Concubine Wuya, the enthronement ceremony Defei who was on the throne in Yongzheng refused Yongzheng's prostration, and even said the words "it is not the dream of the period", resulting in the ascension to the throne Jiali almost unable to proceed, as a birth mother to see her son successfully ascend to the throne should be happy, why is Princess De's performance not ordinary?
There are many rumors about Yongzheng and Princess De, the most popular of which is that Princess De does not like this son, compared to this son Princess De loves her younger son more, so Princess De prefers her younger son to ascend to the throne, when she learns that it is Yongzheng who is called emperor, her heart is actually very reluctant, both are her sons, according to the reason, the palms of her hands are meat, why is the relationship between Princess De and Yongzheng as distant as a stranger?
The estrangement of mother-child relationship can be traced back to Yongzheng's childhood, when Princess De was actually born as a palace girl, after giving birth to the fourth prince Yin Chan, because of the low status can not personally raise the prince, so the four princes were entrusted to Tong Guifei (Xiao Yiren Empress Tong Jia) to raise on behalf of, Yongzheng who grew up around Tong Guifei naturally had little contact with her birth mother Defei, and the feelings were not deep, compared to the brother Yin Zhen, the fourteenth prince who was raised around since childhood, Princess De naturally preferred her younger son.
Coupled with the fact that at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Yongzheng had been emphasizing that he was raised by Tong Guifei (Empress Xiaoyiren Tong Jia) in order to establish the status of Concubine Zheng, which made Princess De even more dissatisfied with Yongzheng.
In addition, Yongzheng's lonely and moody personality also has a certain impact on the estrangement of mother-child relationship, because this kind of personality is difficult for Yongzheng to express closeness to his birth mother, and it is difficult for such an unpleasant personality to gain the favor of Princess De. Yongzheng and his own brother relationship is not very good, when the ninth son took the wife, the fourteen brothers were more inclined to the side of the eight brothers, and even argued with Kangxi for the eight brothers, so that Kangxi almost drew his sword against each other, as the fourth brother did not help the younger brother, but the half-brother five brothers helped, Princess De heard about the heart of the four brothers can not be cold, how can she like this son?
Princess De's reluctance to accept Yongzheng's prostration in addition to her dislike for this son is also a point that she always believes that the throne originally belonged to the fourteenth brother and not Yongzheng, because Kangxi loved the fourteenth brother very much, and thought that the throne would fall into the hands of her younger son.
I still remember that when I watched Qing Palace dramas such as "Palace Lock Heart Jade" and "Step by Step", I saw that Defei did not like the four brothers and even showed disgust many times, in fact, it was very uncomfortable in my heart, and even complained about the four brothers, but now it seems that the concubines do not like the four brothers. The throne is very important for each prince, but after all, it is family affection, is it really worth it to lose one or the other?
