As we all know, during the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the "Nine Sons Seize the Heir" made the entire court miserable, and the princes who participated in the seizure of the heir were even more confined, and the degraded were degraded, even the final winner, the Yongzheng faction, also suffered losses.
In such an environment, there is such a prince who is jealous, Kangxi gave birth to him at the age of 62, Yongzheng has loved him for 13 years, only after Qianlong ascended the throne, he forced his uncle to lower his head once, this person is Kangxi's youngest prince - Yinyuan.
Old and pampered
In the fifty-fifth year of Kangxi, the elderly Emperor Kangxi ushered in his youngest son, which made Kangxi, who was already 62 years old, ecstatic. First, Kangxi is old, but it is inevitable that he will not admit defeat when he is old, and he doesn't want to admit that he is old.
But the reality will not change because of this, as time goes by, Kangxi's body is gradually weakening, aging uncontrollably, and the imminent death will inevitably make him feel frightened, and the birth of this son, in Kangxi's opinion, proves to some extent that his body is still very healthy, how to make him unhappy.
Second, at this time, the Kangxi Dynasty's Nine Dragons have entered a white-hot stage, and the politics of the previous dynasty have been tilted, and the sons have turned against each other, brothers have become enemies, and even against him, the biological father, the calculation of the lord of the world has not been broken.
In addition, in order to balance the political situation, Kangxi has completed his move to abolish the crown prince at this time, and the eldest brother Yinyu has also been imprisoned by him in the mansion, and the two sons who once occupied his attention the most were personally kicked out of this ban by him, and the remaining sons also coveted his throne.
The old Kangxi felt very uncomfortable, Yinyuan's birth just filled the father's love in his heart that had nowhere to vent, this newborn pure child made him feel the long-lost joy of family, and let him release the pressure accumulated in the previous dynasty.
Thirdly, Yinyuan's age is too young, for the brothers who participated in the seizure of the heir, this little brother of the same age as his own child is not any threat, but it is worth wooing, for the courtiers, Yinyuan will not be the prince they choose to follow, so Kangxi can love this child without any pressure.
This made the twenty-fourth son of the emperor Yinyuan extremely favored as soon as he was born, Kangxi gave the already extremely favored Chen family a position for him, and any good things on weekdays will be counted in Chen's share, which can be said to be a typical representative of "mother is expensive by child".
Coupled with the age gap mentioned above, although Yinyuan is favored, he is not jealous of his brothers, and even takes care of him from time to time, and his life is very happy, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, when Yinyuan was six years old, Kangxi's life came to an end, and Yinyuan lost his father who favored him.
But his life is not disappointed because of this, the reason is that the next emperor Yongzheng is still very good at pampering him, why is this?
Yongzheng ascended the throne and gave preferential treatment to his younger brother
When it comes to Emperor Yongzheng, people's first impression is often his iron-blooded wrist, and the brothers who failed to win the heir can be called as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
There are two reasons for this:
First, out of the political considerations of an emperor, as mentioned above, the process of the nine sons seizing the heir in the late Kangxi Dynasty can be called bloody, and the princes of different factions have long been like enemies for the throne, and they have paid too much so that even if the final victory or defeat has been decided, they are still unwilling.
Yongzheng's handling of his brothers is the most famous and most criticized for his handling of the old eight and nine. Because after Yongzheng ascended the throne, the court forces led by the old Balian Prince Yinxi were still constantly making trouble for Yongzheng, and even instigated his eldest son Hongshi to oppose him, which made Yongzheng extremely annoyed.
is because after the old eight and nine failed to fight for power, Yongzheng's treatment of them was ruthless enough. Both of them were deposed as commoners, not to mention, and were even removed from the imperial genealogy by Yongzheng, and even their original names were deprived.
Yongzheng personally named the two of them "Ashina" and "Seth Hei", two extremely humiliating names in Manchu, and imprisoned them until death. Yongzheng even passed on his eldest son Hongshi to Yinxi.
First, Hongshi's behavior of standing in line regardless of good or bad completely annoyed him, and secondly, Yinxi has his own children, Yongzheng passed Hongshi to him, and Hongshi is ranked in front of all Yinxi's children, even if Yinxi is later pardoned, grace will only fall on Hongshi, and Yinxi's real heirs may not enjoy it at all, which shows that Yongzheng is really angry.
But Yongzheng's treatment of them was too ruthless, and his attitude towards his own brother, the old fourteenth Yinzhen, was also very ruthless, which led to him being labeled as a thin widow in the eyes of the world.
In such a situation, Yongzheng needs to find a way to break people's impression of himself, and the young Yinyuan is an excellent choice. Compared with Yinyuan at this time, he is still very young and only six years old, and the world of children is relatively simple, you are good to him and he is good to you.
And Yinyuan's age and identity are placed here, even if they are pampered, they will not endanger the situation in the previous dynasty, coupled with the early death of Yinyuan's biological mother, he became a child without a father and no mother, the ancients paid attention to "the eldest brother is like a father", and it is natural for Yongzheng to take more care of Yinyuan.
So Yongzheng ordered to take his younger brother into the palace and raise him with his princes, and canonized him as a prince early, compared with the seventeenth brother who worked hard for the fourth brother to be promoted, this treatment is simply not too good.
After three dynasties, he was honored and favored
In addition, he grew up with the princes since he was a child, and as an uncle, Yinyuan's favor did not clash with their interests, but the princes also mainly attracted Yinyuan, and Yinyuan successfully continued to maintain his favor after his eldest nephew Qianlong ascended the throne.
In the records of Qing history, Qianlong has always had a lot of favor for his little uncle, and often gave rewards, only once did he give him a little uncle no face, or because Yinyuan drank too much and did not cooperate with his face.
At that time, the children of the Eight Banners became more and more indulgent because of the preferential treatment of the Qing Dynasty's national policy, most of them only knew how to walk the streets and alleys to recruit cats and dogs, and even the daily etiquette was becoming more and more slack, which made Qianlong very dissatisfied, in order to express his attitude to warn the children of the Eight Banners, Qianlong specially held a "Hongmen Banquet".
Unexpectedly, Qianlong just expressed his dissatisfaction at the banquet on the front foot, and Yinyuan on the back foot lost etiquette because of drunkenness, which made Qianlong very unhappy, and Yinyuan quickly reacted to the reminder of others.
I accidentally slapped the emperor's nephew in the face, and hurriedly asked Qianlong for guilt, and Qianlong also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and took over the matter lightly after reprimanding Yinyuan.
But this is not a big twist and turn, but it is the only reprimand from the emperor that Yinyuan received in the Qing history records, in addition to this, his life can be described as smooth sailing, envy of others.
