Review
The Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty ruled the country well and was repeatedly praised by later generations. Unfortunately, in terms of identifying the imperial court's household chores and educating the grandchildren, it seems to be stretched and uneasy. Indeed, the helplessness and bitterness of a generation of kings became more and more apparent as he approached his twilight years of weakness, and few people could read his thoughts and worries.
So he hoped that the outstanding prince would continue his political ideals. History is always strikingly similar, and the tragedies surrounding the struggle and game of political power, the fratricidal scenes of cannibalism, have begun to take turns in front of the old emperor.
The deaths of The Eighth Brother and the Ninth Brother are particularly confusing. I never thought that this dusty past of inconsistencies was actually revealed by Xiao Puyi, the last emperor of a door of contemplation and play, revealing the truth that had never come to the outside world.
Afraid of one's own shadow
The Kangxi Emperor knew very well that even if he was in good shape, he would have a day to abdicate. Who had cang tian he spared, he was old, he couldn't move, he had to retreat into the background, blindly doing it would not work, we must carefully consider the problem of succession.
The sons have also grown up one by one, is it a donkey or a horse, have to take it out and slip around? The Kangxi Emperor, like the people, was not exempt from vulgarity at critical times. Gu Nian's second son was his favorite, and he mistakenly thought that the emperor's position was none other than him.
Kangxi Ye sincerely regarded this second son as a baby knot, and did not live up to his deep feelings with the empress. However, things always backfire in the world, and the old father's "wishful thinking" has failed. The words and deeds of the second brother are not a material worthy of great responsibility, and he simply breaks his heart everywhere!
After all, if this talentless and unscrupulous son really sits on the dragon chair one day, the world that the older generation has painstakingly managed will have to be destroyed in his hands! Simply sift through the available talents from the rest of the princes, and it will not lose the balance of moderation!
He turned his attention to the Fourth Brother and the Eighth Brother, because these two people could still be regarded as the dragon and phoenix among the people. However, choosing one or the other is still a thorny problem.
The two brothers grew up together under the royal eaves, and naturally there was a fight - a mountain could not accommodate two tigers.
Dragons fight tigers
The Eighth Brother Yin was favored by the courtiers and was in the limelight for a while, while the Fourth Brother acted in a low-key and steady manner, quite a capable and decisive style that a king should have. But the battle between the two has just begun.
The high-profile Eight Brothers Yin Qi first occupied a favorable situation and took the lead in provoking the "military master" Thirteenth Master behind the Fourth Brother Yinchen, forcing the Thirteenth Master not to be free for ten years. The Fourth Brother Yinchen fought back by provoking the relationship between his father and the Eighth Brother Yinqi.
In the protracted tug-of-war, the fourth brother yinchen finally won the precious "vote" and ascended to the throne of the emperor's ninth five-year supreme as he wished. The logic of feudal society is nothing more than victory over king and defeat for kou.
Mystery suspense
However, the new emperor took office, which made many of the original Eight Brothers and other ministers who took sides somewhat criticized, plus the Eight Brothers and the Ninth Brothers who were imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion suddenly died without a trace and inexplicably, which made it difficult not to speculate privately, and directly locked the Yongzheng Emperor Yin Chan as a "murderer".
Because, everyone saw the Eighth Brother and the Ninth Brother with their own eyes, and they were deprived of their royal status by the Yongzheng Emperor Yin Chan. The two brothers did not even have the right to enjoy the title, only two scorned names, Archina and Seth.
The Yongzheng Emperor Yin Chan had a city government in his heart, and if he wanted to get rid of the threat of the Eight Brothers and the Ninth Brothers, why did he have to take matters into his own hands and take the lead? Wouldn't it be simpler to borrow a knife to kill someone?
Although everyone is muttering in their hearts, they can't get the real evidence, and no one dares to speak arbitrarily in the DPRK. This mysterious mystery has come to an end.
Forced to die
But the strange thing about history is that a wise proverb of the old ancestors, "If people don't know, unless they don't do anything", they can always be fulfilled at the inflection point, but it is only sooner or later.
Time flies, with the wheel of history slowly rolling, at this time it has reached the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Guangxu Emperor's life is not long, under the harsh responsibility and suppression of Empress Dowager Cixi, he died early and returned to heaven. Empress Dowager Cixi had toyed with the Guangxu Emperor in the palm of her hand, but now that there was no one around to allow her to be absolutely restrained, she planned to take the ignorant Little Puyi from outside the palace to the palace to succeed as emperor.
Xiao Puyi is only immersed in his own child's world, and is not interested in adult affairs and power politics. He did not understand the principle of "being in a high place and not being cold", and he was bent on hoping that the appearance of a partner of the same age could save him from the water and fire, play with him, read, and do everything he wanted to do.
His younger brother Pujie came to read with him, which made Xiao Puyi ecstatic. As if it were a heavenly rain, Xiao Puyi was eager to take his brother to play around the palace. Unexpectedly, the curiosity of Xiao Puyi and Xiao Pujie completely unveiled the mystery of under what circumstances the "Schrödinger's cat" died.
Looking around the palace without guards and palace handles, they confidently and boldly sneaked into the Yangxin Hall, and happened to find a secret compartment hidden in the secret place, Xiao Puyi actually turned out a secret decree of the Yongzheng Emperor with his own hands, Akina and Seth Hei, that is, the Eight Brothers and the Ninth Brothers, to be secretly executed by the people sent by the Emperor in the Zongren Mansion.
The cause of the death of the two princes was finally revealed, and it was the subjective intention and deeds of the Yongzheng Emperor that deliberately made them dead people not open their mouths and never turn over, so as to completely eradicate the troubles of coveting the throne.
epilogue
The Forbidden City is a forbidden place in the deep palace, and under the appearance of bright and majestic, I don't know how much is hidden and dirty. The vermilion walls that stand tall divide the royal and the folk into two and clearly distinguish each other.
When the princes and grandchildren enjoyed the wealth that was difficult for ordinary people to reach, they also trembled on the edge of life and death like walking on thin ice. Even the Yongzheng Emperor, who was well-known for his ruling power, no matter how much etiquette he used, he was still unable to raise offspring who valued brotherhood and brotherhood.
