The unsolved mystery of the world

Yongzheng succeeded to the throne to explore the truth |

On November 13, 1722 (the sixty-first year of the Kangxi Dynasty), the wind was cold and the stars and moons were glowless. It was late at night, and the palace of the Temple of Heaven on the southern outskirts of Beijing was full of lights like beans, and the fourth prince, Yin Chan, sat alone in front of the book case, supporting his forehead with his hand, and fell into contemplation. Since the Seventh Kangxi Emperor drove back to Changchun Garden from Nanyuan, all the princes stayed in the garden to serve, and twice went to The Tranquility House in the morning and evening to greet their father and emperor. On the ninth day of the first month, Kangxi suddenly asked Yin Chan to go to the Temple of Heaven instead of him to hold the winter solstice ceremony. At that time, sacrifices were presided over by the emperor, and no one could replace them. This seemed to be a hint that Kangxi had passed the throne to Yin Chan, but at that time, the government was complicated, the princes were competing for deer, and the competition for reserves had become white-hot, and no one expected what would happen.

There were many kangxi princes, and twice deposed the crown prince Yin, especially after the second abolition of Yin, formed a group centered on the grand prince Yin Ti, the eighth prince Yin Qi, the fourteenth prince Yin Chen, the third prince Yin Zhen, and the fourth prince Yin Zhen. In terms of status and fame, Yin Yu regarded himself as the eldest brother of the emperor and occupied the full time; Yin Qi is good at financial management and is also known as Corporal Li Xian; Yin Ti was a young talent, deeply loved by Kangxi and quite capable of governing the army, and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, appointing the General Fuyuan to march on Qinghai, although not in the capital, he was considered to be the most likely candidate to succeed the throne; Yin Zhi is good at writing words, and Sven is famous; And Yin Chan is superficially light

Obscure, not in contention, but secretly co-opting the thirteenth prince Yin Xiang and the important minister Long Keduo of the DPRK, and mastering the military power,

Pay close attention to the movements of Kangxi and the imperial court.

"Wang Ye, the secret letter of the Great Man of Longko." An internal servant hurried in and handed a letter to Yin Chan. After Yin Chan read the letter, he knew that Kangxi's condition had changed, and said decisively: "Go back to Beijing!"

Beijing Changchun Garden is in front of Yuanning, and there are many guards. The Nine Gate Admiral Long Keduo guarded the Kangxi Palace and ordered the palace gates to be closed so that the princes and his trusted ministers could not know about Kangxi's situation, until late at night, Yin Chan entered the palace in a dusty manner.

What really happened that night, no one knows. But the next day, Yin Chan became the Qing Dynasty

Yongzheng Emperor. So a variety of theories came into being. Some people say that when Kangxi was seriously ill, he wanted to pass the throne to the fourteenth prince Yin Yu, but at that time, Yin Yu was fighting in the northwest and could not rush back in time. Yin Chan (雍

Zheng) colluded with the then important minister Roncodo, tampered with the edict, and seized the throne.

It is said that the Kangxi testament was written "Fourteen Sons of the Succession", and Yin Chan changed "Ten" to "Yu", himself

Ascended to the throne. But such a statement is not convincing. Because according to some canonical records, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty

The emperor's edict was written in Manchu and read out in Manchu, so changing the word "ten" to "yu" would not work. Even the Chinese character "ten" used could not be added to become the word "yu", because the word "yu" at that time was written as "yu" ("yu" is a simplified Chinese character). Moreover, the sons of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty must be called the emperors, and the sons are called "emperors", which is a rule and cannot be wrong. If you really change the word "ten" to the word "yu", that is, "yu four sons", it does not make sense in grammar.

Yin Yu's original name was Yin Zhen, and some people say that Yong Yong passed the Kangxi Edict to "Yin Zhen"

The word "zhen" was tampered with as "禛", thus ascending to the throne of God. But this kind of statement also does not stand up to push

knock. In short, in this battle for the throne, Yin Yu is the biggest loser.

Of course, there are also many people who believe that the heir in Kangxi's mind is the fourth son of the emperor, Yin Chan, who did not change the edict. It is said that the Kangxi edict reads: "The fourth son of the emperor, Yin Chan, is of high moral character and deeply humbled, and will be able to inherit the great unification and succeed him to the throne, that is, the emperor's throne." According to historical records, we can also find the Kangxi biography

Some signs of yin chan: First, Kangxi once said that he should choose a strong and trustworthy person to be his heir, Yin Chan's character

Fortitude, shrewd and pragmatic, and relatively vicious means, which is conducive to reforming the maladministration of the late Kangxi Dynasty; Second, Kangxi first sent Yin Chan to perform the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony in his place, and then specially summoned him to Changchun Garden on the occasion of his death, which had special significance; Third, it is said that When Yin Chan's birth mother, Empress Renshou, ascended the throne, she said: "It is not what I expected my dream to give my son the great unification." This shows that Yongzheng's succession to the throne was arranged by Kangxi long ago.

"Loving sun and son" is another view of scholars who believe that Yongzheng's succession is legitimate. Since Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, people have associated his succession with the Hongli (Qianlong). On the eve of Kangxi's death, he had not determined the rightful heir to the throne, and since he saw Hongli, he had been pampered and was ready to pin his life's work on Aisun Hongli, expecting him to be better than blue out of blue, so that the Qing Dynasty would be passed on for a long time and be famous. This incident also became the decisive factor in Kangxi's eventual succession to Yin Chan. After Yongzheng's death, the emperor's throne was indeed passed to Hongli, the famous Qianlong Emperor in history.

However, after Yin Chan ascended the throne, he made a cruel move against Longkodo, who had made great contributions to him in the battle for the throne, and demoted him to death. At the same time, Zhao Chang, Kangxi's personal bodyguard in his later years, was also killed by Yongzheng. Long Keduo was a heavy courtier, kangxi was at his side when he died, and Zhao Chang often conveyed Kangxi's orders, and their killing made Yongzheng's succession to the throne even more confusing.
