In 1710, Yongzheng followed Kangxi to Rehe to hunt. He shot a sika deer, and just happened to be thirsty, so he drank several mouthfuls of deer blood. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Yongzheng to be unbearably hot, and there was no princess by his side, so he had to casually pull a maid who was growing vegetables in the paddock.
The years leading up to Yongzheng's succession to the throne were always accompanied by many challenges and opportunities, and in that turbulent era, he, as the son of Emperor Kangxi, had to show otherworldly intellect and courage to stand out in the fierce political struggle.
By chance, he followed his father Emperor Kangxi to Rehe Villa to hunt, which was not only a good opportunity to show his martial arts, but also a contest to test wisdom and perseverance.
On the hunting ground, Yongzheng showed his heroic posture, he easily shot a sturdy sika deer with his superb riding and archery skills, however, it was this seemingly ordinary sika deer that inadvertently became a turning point in his life.
After hunting, the deer blood was sacrificed to him by his subordinates, and Yongzheng drank it all without any scruples, but unexpectedly, the strong heat brought by the deer blood made him make an irreparable mistake on impulse - pampering a palace maid.
Afterwards, Yongzheng calmly examined the situation, knowing full well that his impulsiveness could pose a threat to his succession, and he showed the determination and resourcefulness of a statesman in dealing with this thorny issue.
He first decided to properly place the palace maid named Li Jingui in order to prevent the unborn child in her womb from becoming a hidden danger in the future competition for the throne, but as fate would have it, this child was finally born and became the later Qianlong Emperor.
Yongzheng's life was full of controversy and legend, although he did not reign for a long time, but his political achievements were extraordinary, during his reign, he was determined to innovate, and implemented a series of effective reform measures, such as rectifying the rule of officials, strengthening the management of ethnic minorities and border areas, and setting up a military aircraft department, etc., which greatly consolidated the foundation of Qing rule.
At the same time, his innovation of the system of independent storage also left a profound impact on later generations.
Despite this, Yongzheng in his later years inevitably fell into the confusion and superstition of power, and he gradually became obsessed with the pursuit of immortality, and even began to favor Taoist priests and seek elixir, this transformation is undoubtedly one of the failures of his life.
But in any case, Yongzheng's historical status and value cannot be ignored, and his wisdom, tenacity and courage made him an important figure in the history of the Qing Dynasty, laying the foundation for the arrival of the prosperous Kangqian era.
Yongzheng's image is not single, he has both brilliant victories and setbacks at the pinnacle of power, he is not only the majestic and wise king in the court, but also the ordinary person who is lonely and introspective in the dead of night and reflects on the past.
Such an image is more realistic and resonates with people.
