"I'm located in... It is passed on to the fourth elder brother. ”
On the night of Kangxi's death, the princes had a dispute over the matter of passing on the throne, and even fought a lot.
In fact, Emperor Kangxi's succession was very unsmooth, obviously he was inclined to the fourth Yinzhen, but the court was full of people who recommended the old eight Yinzhen, which really made him unhappy.
Just when everyone was arguing about what Kangxi was talking about, only the sixteenth elder brother Yinlu and the young twenty-fourth elder brother Yinji stood on the side of the fourth child.
Seeing that the old four parties did not have the advantage, one of the most hidden old four parties stood up.
It was he who directly stabilized the position of the fourth child and provided a lot of help for Yinzhen's succession.
So who is this man, and what is his extraordinary ability?
Yinzhen's succession
Yongzheng's succession to the throne is unthinkable to many people, and they never expected that a "transparent person" like Yinzhen could become the emperor.
In fact, the one who is expected to ascend the throne at the beginning should be the old eight Yinxi, and the reputation of the "Eight Sage Kings" is not in vain.
Yinxi has been smart and studious since he was a child, in addition to his studies, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he is really a perfect character, and he has been favored by many ministers and affirmed by Kangxi.
Therefore, when recommending the crown prince, Yinxi was very confident, and most of the ministers in the same court also recommended the eighth elder brother in the book.
Looking at the thick stack of folds in front of him, and there was a piece of paper with "eight" written on it on the top, Kangxi's anger came up all of a sudden.
It can be seen that these are all recommended by the eighth elder brother, but at this time, Kangxi has long since stopped trusting him.
If the eighth elder brother wants to become Kangxi, he will learn from Kangxi in various ways, but what he learns is only superficial, and he uses some cleverness and crooked thoughts.
In order to get more support, he actually started bribery, causing most of the forces in the court to fall to the eighth elder brother.
Kangxi hates this kind of behavior the most, and when he has this time, he doesn't improve himself, doesn't do more things for the country, the court, and the people, and uses all his talents to crooked thoughts, so he naturally bumps into Kangxi's muzzle.
As the Eighth Elder Brother's power in the court gradually grew, Kangxi's expectations for him slowly decreased, and even finally evolved into disgust and disappointment.
At this time, Kangxi saw that the fourth elder brother, the son he had not noticed at all before, was so capable.
When the Yellow River was overflowing, the nearby residents were hit by a once-in-a-century disaster, displaced, and some had no hope of survival.
At this critical moment, Prince Yinren did nothing, but the fourth elder brother Yinzhen stepped forward and went to the local flood relief.
I have to say that Yinzhen does have the strength, and with his ability, he successfully completed the task and restored peace to the local area.
This achievement made Kangxi firmly remember it in his heart, and made Kangxi look at Yinzhen with admiration.
In fact, in addition to Yinzhen being really powerful, he is also very good at capturing people's hearts, he can guess what Kangxi needs and likes, and do things according to Kangxi's preferences.
In this way, Kangxi likes this son even more.
Slowly, Kangxi transferred his previous expectations for Yinzhen to Yinzhen, so that after Kangxi announced the edict, everyone expressed shock and disbelief.
Kangxi died, and the edict caused heated discussions
Before Kangxi's death, he also snubbed the fourth elder brother Yinzhen for a long time, and this move also made everyone relax their vigilance against the fourth elder brother.
In fact, this is also Kangxi's protection of the fourth elder brother, after all, if everyone knows that he is a celebrity around the emperor, he will inevitably suffer a lot of unnecessary trouble, and he will become a thorn in the side of many people.
So Kangxi still sent the fourth elder brother a task, while deliberately snubbing him.
The fourth elder brother has always pretended to be the country and the people in his heart, and every achievement is very in line with Yongzheng's heart, and it can be seen that the fourth elder brother is a good material to be an emperor.
Until Kangxi was bedridden, everyone still thought that Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi would definitely be the next king, and he still stood on Eighth Elder Brother's side unconditionally.
As everyone knows, how can the emperor's mind be so easy to guess.
Before Kangxi died, he used his last remaining strength to say the decision of the fourth elder brother, and directly let those eight masters stay in place.
But they didn't believe that the eighth elder brother, who had supported them for so long, failed to ascend to the throne, but was the fourth elder brother who was not usually treated by Kangxi.
They couldn't accept such a decision, so they began to confuse the public, claiming that it was the tenth elder brother, and some even said that it was the fourteenth elder brother, just to let everyone know that Huang Ama was not talking about the fourth elder brother.
At this time, the weak fourth elder brother received the support of the sixteenth elder brother and the twenty-fourth elder brother on the side, and they insisted that it was the fourth elder brother who was talking about it, and they did not hesitate to attack each other.
At this moment of panic, there was another person who supported the fourth elder brother and has been silently providing a lot of help for the fourth elder brother's ascension to the throne.
He is Zhang Tingyu, an important minister next to Kangxi.
Zhang Tingyu's strength should not be underestimated
In "Kangxi Dynasty", the role of Zhang Tingyu can be said to be too admirable, after three generations of emperors without falling, it can be seen that his strength is really not to be underestimated.
He is even the only minister in the more than 200-year history of the Qing Dynasty who is worthy of enjoying the Taimiao.
The reason why Zhang Tingyu was able to serve the three emperors, and he also left behind the wisdom of the first generation, is not because of his strength, but more importantly, he can understand people's hearts, and he can also guess the sacred heart.
In fact, Zhang Tingyu had already guessed what Kangxi was thinking, and he knew that the fourth elder brother had become the candidate for the prince in Kangxi's heart, so he silently stood on the side of the fourth elder brother behind his back.
Since then, he will intentionally or unintentionally say some good things about the fourth elder brother in front of Kangxi, and he will also stand on the side of the fourth elder brother when the important ministers recommend the eighth elder brother in a letter.
In this way, he gained Kangxi's trust.
Zhang Tingyu is already very strategic and powerful, and he is deeply valued by Kangxi, so Kangxi is willing to hand over many important things to Zhang Tingyu, and he will complete it successfully every time.
So in the matter of the next prince succeeding to the throne, Kangxi handed over this important task to Zhang Tingyu.
Zhang Tingyu originally supported the fourth elder brother, and he knew that there was nothing wrong with following the emperor's wishes, so he unconditionally supported the fourth elder brother, and even invested all his worth in the fourth elder brother.
Kangxi saw him like this, so he handed over this important task to him.
Zhang Tingyu didn't dare to slack off at all, he paid too much for the fourth elder brother to ascend the throne smoothly.
Therefore, the fourth elder brother was able to succeed to the throne smoothly, in addition to Wu Sidao's help, a large part of it came from Zhang Tingyu.
Similarly, after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Zhang Tingyu was also reused, and even after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he still shined in the court.
Anyway, on the night of Yongzheng's succession, Zhang Tingyu had the most power, and Yongzheng's succession came out of his mouth.
