"Everyone in the world knows that princes and princes will have a kind of peace", this sentence has inspired many people to pay the price of their lives in pursuit of power and glory. In a feudal society, noble princes were supposed to have endless glory and wealth, but this was not the case. They were often subjected to pressure and calculations from the imperial power, and fell victim to court struggles. Among them, there is a unique survival strategy - pretending to be crazy and stupid, which has successfully helped many people avoid political crises and allow them to enjoy their old age in peace. This article will take the Qing Dynasty Hongday as an example to reveal this seemingly absurd but effective way of survival.
——【·See the situation clearly, protect yourself】——»
The "Nine Sons Seize the Heir" incident in the early Qing Dynasty was a history full of blood and conspiracy. In this battle for the throne, Emperor Yongzheng went through hardships and dangers, and finally stood out and reached the pinnacle of power. This experience also made him deeply aware of the fierceness of the struggle between the princes, and in order to prevent his sons from repeating the mistakes of the past, he resolutely implemented the secret reserve system.
During the reign of Yongzheng, in order to change the status quo of the struggle for the throne and ensure the smooth transition of imperial power, he decided to reform the traditional method of openly establishing a reserve and implementing a secret reserve system. The implementation of this system is aimed at preventing disputes caused by the princes over the throne, so as to avoid the bloody storm of the struggle for imperial power.
This system did not completely eliminate the princes' desire for imperial power. Among the few adult princes of Emperor Yongzheng, Hongshi, Hongli and Hongday became the focus of the competition for the throne.
Among the three princes, Hongli became the most likely candidate to inherit the throne because of his outstanding ability and the love of Emperor Kangxi. However, the young Hongshi had a strong desire for the throne, and he tried to challenge Hongli's position, but due to his youthful vigor and imprudent behavior, he was eventually expelled from the clan by the Yongzheng Emperor and died young.
Faced with the temptation of the throne, Hongyang chose another way to survive. He knew that he could not compete with his brothers in terms of ability, so he chose to pretend to be confused and avoid the struggle for imperial power in order to seek his own peace. This strategy allowed him to preserve himself and enable his descendants to live a life of glory and wealth.
Even after Hiroshi chose a secluded lifestyle, he was not able to completely escape the shadow of the struggle for imperial power. The suspicions of his older brothers have not been eliminated, and he has to continue to deal with all kinds of complicated interpersonal relationships carefully.
By pretending to be confused, Hongtian successfully avoided the bloody storm of the imperial power struggle and kept himself and his family safe. This incident reveals the cruel reality of the ruthlessness of the imperial family and the struggle for imperial power, and makes people sigh at the vicissitudes of history and the complexity of human nature.

In the history of the Qing Dynasty, Hongday is a figure that cannot be ignored. His attitude to life was absurd and his style was bohemian, but even so, he was favored and favored by the emperor. Hongday's life was full of drama, and his absurd behavior not only brought him notoriety, but also won people's approval and dispelled suspicion about them.
Hongday's absurd behavior made him sit on the name of a gentleman. He often makes unexpected moves that make people look at him. For example, he once openly disrespected Qianlong at the council, which caused a sensation. However, Qianlong did not blame him for this, but was more tolerant of him.
Hongday also worked with the important ministers of the court, which made the court smoky. Qianlong did not stop this, but let him mess around. These absurd behaviors made Hongday's status in the emperor's heart more and more special, and people did not dare to offend him easily.
The reason why Hongyu was able to foresee that he would become emperor was because of his keen insight into power. He knew that the battle for the throne was a cruel game, and he chose an ingenious strategy - retreating to advance. He deliberately made some ridiculous moves to make people let their guard down against him and thus protect himself. As it turned out, he was right in his foresight. After the death of Emperor Yongzheng, the fourth prince Hongli ascended the throne as Emperor Qianlong, and he loved this confused younger brother Hongday in every way.
Emperor Qianlong's favor for Hongday was not for nothing. On the one hand, Hongday's bad reputation is outside, and it can not threaten his throne, on the other hand, Qianlong can also harvest this hard-won brotherhood in this way. Therefore, he rewarded Emperor Yongzheng's Prince Yong's palace and all the remaining money to Hongday. As a result, Hongyang lived a luxurious and luxurious life, and he often boasted to others outside that he had an older brother who was the emperor, and used this name to do nonsense.
Hongday's life is full of legends. His absurd behavior makes people curious about him. However, it was these absurd behaviors that made him occupy a special place in the emperor's heart. His fate has changed dramatically as a result.
——【·Funeral for yourself·】——»
During the Qing Dynasty, during the reign of Yongzheng, the fifth elder brother Hongday became the focus of people's discussion with his unique behavior. What sets him apart is that he has a different view of death, and he believes that life and death are natural laws and there is no need to be taboo. Therefore, Hongyu often holds peculiar funerals as a way to express his attitude towards life.
Hongday's funeral was a grand event, and he set up a mourning hall in his home, with items that could only be used after death. At the funeral, the family wept and mourned for him according to traditional customs, while he drank and had fun on the sidelines, as if watching a wonderful play. In addition, Hongyu would also invite ministers and officials in the court to come to "mourn", and they had to give rich gifts as a sign of respect. Due to the frequent holding of such events, although the ministers were dissatisfied in their hearts, they could only reluctantly participate in them because of Hongday's status and the emperor's favor.
These actions of Hongyang caused a lot of controversy at the time. On the one hand, the ministers were disgusted by his actions, believing them to be a desecration of his identity and a humiliation to them. However, on the other hand, Hongday's approach also won the emperor's tolerance and favor. Hongday's absurd behavior eliminated the emperor's jealousy of him and made him gain more glory and wealth.
In the end, Hongyang was able to live his life in peace. After his death, his descendants inherited the title and continued to enjoy the life of a high-ranking official. Hongday's strategy of being wise and foolish and wise to protect himself made him survive the war for the heir and became the best among his brothers.
Hongday's life is full of legends. He expressed his views on life and death in a unique way and preserved himself through clever strategies. In the power struggle of the Qing court, Hongtian is like a bystander, surviving in his own way in this world full of intrigue and intrigue.
