Yongzheng is the protagonist of many Qing Palace dramas, and the screenwriters have created a variety of images for Yongzheng around real history. Especially on the matter of his ascension to the throne, every screenwriter has a different interpretation,
The reason behind this is actually that the event of Yin Chan's ascension to the throne is a matter of constant discussion between historians and the people.
Until now, there has not been a specific reason, so that it has become a mystery of the Qing Dynasty. This gives the screenwriters a lot of room to use their imagination to recreate.
In fact, regarding the incident of Yongzheng's ascension to the throne, people have two conjectures. The first conjecture is that people judged that Yin Chan had already made plans before he ascended the throne, and through careful planning, created a false edict to become emperor. The second conjecture is that the Kangxi Emperor did indeed pass the throne to Yin Chan before his death, but left no evidence for people to believe.
However, judging from the books recorded by the officials of the Kangxi Dynasty, Yin Chan still had a very good chance.
First, the Kangxi Emperor died in 1722, and the Qing Dynasty lost a hero from then on. Subsequently, Yin Chan won the battle for the throne and became emperor. But no one knows exactly how he became emperor.
According to the history books, Yin Chan went to the southern suburbs in November 1722 at the behest of the Kangxi Emperor to replace Kangxi.
At that time, although the Kangxi Emperor was recuperating from illness, he could still handle government affairs. Yongzheng wanted to accompany him and take care of him, but he refused Yin Chan's request on the grounds that worship was an important matter.
Kangxi's illness worsened without warning on November 13, and he had no choice but to spread Yin Chan to his side.
Before he arrived, many Ago and Longkodo were waiting for Kangxi. At that time, Kangxi told them that Yin Chan had a good personality, and I was assured that he would definitely be a good emperor and benefit the people of the world, and then passed the throne to Yin Chan. When Yin Chan went to Kangxi's side, the Kangxi Emperor told Yin Chan that his life was short,
It is necessary to be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people. Yin Chan was very sad to hear this.
In the evening, Kangxi died, Long Keduo issued a "testament", and Yin Chan ascended the throne.
This incident is recorded very clearly in the history books, so Yin Chan's ascension to the throne is a matter of course. Regarding this matter, the history of the Qing Dynasty is written the same.
Later generations thought according to Yin Chan's age and many characteristics, his character of Taoguang and obscurity in the palace, and the deep feelings of father and son, and all other clues.
It is very credible to show that Yin Chan did become emperor by saying a word in the kangxi emperor's haste.
However, the fact that Yin Chan ascended the throne is unreasonable in the folk oral stories, and it can even be said that it is a great rebellion. Among the folk oral stories there is a false emperor's edict that tells that before Yin Chan ascended the throne,
Kangxi originally wanted to hand over the throne to the 14th Prince, and a few days after he was about to die, he made a holy decree for the 14th Prince to go to his side.
After Roncodo knew, he blocked the news, changed the emperor's holy will, and before the 14th prince rushed back, he announced the false holy will and announced Yin Chan's ascension to the throne.
There is also a saying that Kangxi had already written the Holy Will, wanted to make the 14th Prince emperor, and placed the Holy Will behind the Zhengda Guangming Plaque in his own palace, Qianqing Palace.
The Holy Will was rewritten by those who were loyal to the faithful, changing the word "ten" to the word "yu".
Who secretly rewrote the edict left by the emperor before his death, and various versions followed: some people said that Yin Chan himself rewrote it; others said that before the Kangxi Emperor died, he was afraid that a third party would know the edict, so he wrote the edict in the hands of Long Keduo.
Roncodo actually erased the word "ten" away.
Mr. Wang Zhonghan was a very famous scholar of Qing history, and the cause of death of the Kangxi Emperor and his 4th son Yin Chan's ascension to the throne had different ideas in Mr. Wang Zhonghan's eyes. He felt that the Kangxi Emperor was in very good physical condition in the three months of August, September and October 1722.
Just a little bit of a cold, in the face of Yin Chan's many times of concern, the answer he gave has always been "Wait for a while to be good",
This incident can be found that the Body of the Kangxi Emperor would not have been so seriously ill, and in this extraordinary period, if there were no special events, the point of death would naturally not come.
However, Kangxi died suddenly without much serious illness, and there are many suspicious points in this matter. Looking at the premise that this matter was carried out so quickly, the most suspicious thing was that Yin Chan listened to the people's argument that the eldest brother would become a prince.
I felt that my father and emperor favored the eldest brother and was particularly partial to himself, as long as he thought that the throne had nothing to do with him, he was particularly angry when he watched others sit on it.
So a vicious plan emerged from his mind, first seizing the opportunity to form a party with Long keduo, who was loyal to him, and then blocking the Kangxi Emperor and the clans outside the palace, and then personally killing his father, the Kangxi Emperor, and then rewriting the holy will left by his father before his death, and finally sitting on the throne of his dreams.
Although this does not belong to oneself.
This is only Mr. Wang Zhonghan's conjecture, because since the death of the Kangxi Emperor, it is inevitable to be suspicious under the premise that Long Keduo alone promulgated the edict left by the Kangxi Emperor before his death.
Another conjecture is that Kangxi's candidates for the throne were only two princes, namely the 4th Prince and the 14th Prince, and after some deliberation, it was finally decided to pass it on to the 4th Prince, but Kangxi did not treat his 14th son badly, and the official position was The Fuyuan General proved from this incident that the Kangxi Emperor was the real candidate for the throne.
Because I have never heard of which prince was made crown prince, the official position was a great general.
In 1709, Yin Chan's reputation among the princes continued to rise, because he joined the worship movement many times, except for him, no one else joined, and the number of returns was also very large.
Another reason was that he was promoted to prince in his official position.
Is Yin Chan's ascension to the throne really justified? It is still a big mystery. It is not only because Yongzheng has a lot of mysteries that the masses can't solve when they rack their brains, but also because after he ascended the throne,
There are also many actions that make people wonder, especially these actions make the masses resentful.
The combination of mysteries such as beheading one's own brothers and sisters and frequently killing and belittling heroes and learned people makes the masses feel that things are intricate and difficult to discern, and for a moment it is dazzling.
All in all, Yongzheng's ascension to the throne has all kinds of mysteries that make people wonder, so historians have lost a lot of effort and time for these mysteries.
But the weather is not as good as anyone wants, and so far no satisfactory answer has been found.
This mysterious historical story, people can experience the joy of reasoning and verification in different evidences. However, Yongzheng was indeed a good emperor during his reign, and from this point of view,
How he ascended to the throne is less important.
