Among the nine sons of Kangxi, I don't know which one everyone is impressed by, and which one do you think is the most suitable to be emperor? During the Kangxi years, there were too many questions left for everyone, who was Kangxi's favorite son, whether the title of the poisonous snake Lao Jiu was appropriately attached, whether the thirteenth master was blamed or protected by the beekeeping, when kangxi saw the heart of the fourth master, whether the unworthy concubine Kangxi born by Xin Zhiku was born to love, whether the concubine had a place in Kangxi's heart, whether the choice of the fourth master to ascend to the throne and Kangxi's love for Hongli had nothing to do with it, the two wastes and two princes were just simple because the prince's mother was Kangxi's favorite woman. The famous Eight Sages king in history really had a heart as terrible as a poisonous scorpion.
Before, I wrote why the fourth master finally ascended to the throne, and also introduced how the eighth master was getting farther and farther away from the throne step by step. This time, let's talk about Kangxi's favorite fourteenth master, this brave and clever prince, Yongzheng's biological brother of the same father and mother, what is the final outcome.
Ai Xin JueLuo Yin Yu, also known as Yin Zhen, the fourteenth son of Kangxi, Yongzheng's younger brother, qianlong's uncle, was renamed Yun Yu in the first year of Yongzheng. He and the fourth master are brothers but more inclined to the eighth master, and were eventually sent by his own brother to guard the imperial tomb, which was later changed to captivity.
The Ninth Master once said, "The Fourteenth Master is extremely intelligent, and his talent and virtue are perfect, and my brothers are not as good." This sentence. It can be seen from this that the wisdom of the fourteenth master is recognized by brothers. And the fourteenth master's bravery and good war also had a lot to do with the fact that he had been fighting with the Kangxi Emperor since he was a child. Kangxi should have liked this son, otherwise he would not have often let him go by his side. The Fourteenth Master also had many privileges that other brothers did not have. When the Kangxi Emperor angrily rebuked the Eighth Master for his ambitions and attempts to murder the crown prince, he stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Brother Eight has no such heart, and the minister is willing to protect it!" That time really angered Kangxi, drawing his sword to kill the fourteenth master, fortunately, the fifth brother hugged Kangxi's leg and the other princes dissuaded him to make Kangxi a little discouraged, but he was still punished with twenty plates. The Fourteenth Master was so outspoken and fast-talking, and his appearance was consistent, and it was no wonder that Kangxi liked it.
Dzungar invaded Tibet, and Lhazang Khan wrote to Kangxi pleading with the army for help. At this time, the Kangxi Emperor chose to appoint the FourteenTh Brother as the Fuyuan General, marched into Qinghai to sweep away the rebellion, and named the Fourteenth Brother the "Great General King". And he said that the fourteenth master is a good general, and everything listens to the fourteenth master's words, and what he said is what I said, which is a great affirmation.
So Kangxi trusted and loved the Fourteenth Master so much, did he ever think of letting him ascend to the throne? I think in Kangxi's heart, he must have thought about the prince, the eighth master, the fourth master, and the fourteenth master, but after repeatedly measuring it, he chose the fourth master who was most similar to himself as the emperor. And Kangxi should have already thought about a lot of things when he selected the fourteenth master as the great general king.
Why do you say so, first of all, the fourteenth brother is named "Great General King", this title is very embarrassing, not a general, nor a king. A temporary title, after the end of the conquest is a vacant position. Also, must it be the Fourteenth Master who goes out on the expedition, and kangxi's other sons are not as good as the Fourteenth Master? In fact, among the sons of Kangxi, there is also a thirteenth master who is sensitive and fresh, good at riding and shooting, and galloping like a fly. Many people will say that the thirteenth at that time was also in captivity, and it really didn't matter at all when the country was in trouble, and Kangxi really believed that this horseback riding, with a flute, with a sword, freely traversing between heaven and earth, shooting eagles in the north of the desert, and listening to music in the south of the river. Swim in the sky, drink and dance swords, add incense to red sleeves when elegant, and chant poems under the lamp. Will the frank son frame the prince? Leaving the thirteenth master, sending the fourteenth master on the expedition is to ensure that the fourth master can not ascend the throne smoothly, and the captivity of the thirteenth master is also to protect this son and keep him away from the struggle for the throne to save him.
Secondly, the choice of the fourteenth master can make the civil and military officials feel at ease, thinking that Kangxi has selected the fourteenth master as the candidate for the crown prince, and everyone does not have to be afraid and speculate. At the same time, it also made the fourth master, who had an eighty or ninety percent chance of winning, more cautious and did not dare to act rashly. Although the Eighth Master Party has no possibility of ascending to the throne, but the Fourteenth Master is one of the important members of the Eighth Master Party, the Fourteenth Master is always more reassuring to be the emperor than the Fourth Master or other people to be the emperor, in order to make the Fourteenth Master can smoothly ascend the throne will also be more cautious in everything. Then there is the fact that if in the end Kangxi feels that the fourth master is not suitable for this throne, it is not impossible to give the throne to the fourteenth master in an instant. In fact, if Kangxi really wanted to make the fourteenth master emperor, he should let the fourteenth master return to Beijing earlier, because once the fourteenth master did not return to the Forbidden City before Kangxi died, then there were too many possibilities during this period, such as rebellion and seizure of the throne.
All of the above shows that Kangxi is definitely a brilliant emperor, every step of the plan is very perfect, he correctly chose a son to be a generation of outstanding monarchs, his favorite grandson Hongli did not disappoint him, three generations of concerted efforts to bring the history of the famous Kangqian prosperous world, the achievement of three generations of great emperors.
