"Eighth elder brother Yinxi, he learns me everywhere, but he doesn't learn like it everywhere, I govern benevolence with leniency, and he buys people's hearts with leniency."
In "Yongzheng Dynasty", the eighth elder brother Yinxi has always been a very controversial figure.
He was bent on sitting on the throne, and he did not hesitate to use all kinds of tricks to win over the hearts of the people and expand his influence in the court.
But all this he did backfired, and in the end, Kangxi passed the throne to the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.
It was also from this time that there was a deep grudge between the eighth elder brother and Yongzheng, don't look at the peaceful ones on the surface, but in fact, no one looks down on anyone secretly.
The fourth elder brother won the heir
Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi has always had the title of "Eight Sage Kings" outside, he is knowledgeable and talented, and he is also the prince that Kangxi values the most.
At the beginning, everyone thought that the eighth elder brother would be the one who won the heir, after all, he was young and promising, he was the most capable one among the many princes, and he was deeply liked by Kangxi.
It may be that it is in this environment that the eighth elder brother gradually becomes proud, as if the position of this prince is already his.
Once a person is in a high position, he will become a victim of gains and losses, and perhaps Yinxi also feels like this.
Just when Yinxi was most supported, he began to become more and more radical, wanting to get more supporters, and gain the trust and favor of more people, so he took the wrong path.
The title of "Eight Sages King" is indeed nothing to question, he has done some real things for the court and the country.
Since Yongzheng ascended the throne, although he has always stood on the opposite side of Yongzheng, every time something major national happens, he will put aside his personal grievances and think about the country.
At this time, he and Yongzheng will stand on the united front and tide over the difficulties together.
But he was still too radical and wanted to ascend to the throne too much, so he began to buy people's hearts.
However, this buying people's hearts does not rely on their own strength and talent, but on bribery.
Gradually, more and more people supported him in the DPRK, and his power became bigger and bigger.
This kind of life made him lose himself, began to indulge, became arrogant and unreasonable to the people below, and even began to offend the imperial power, there is really no royal law.
In addition to his attitude, in terms of life, he is also completely contrary to Kangxi's concept, extravagant and wasteful, and lives a luxurious life all day long.
It can be said that Yinxi's road was blocked by himself.
On the other hand, Lao Siyinzhen, who has almost no sense of existence on weekdays, although he does not have the support of too many courtiers and does not have Kangxi's attention, he has been worrying about the court.
Whether it is disaster relief or the recovery of arrears from the treasury, Yinzhen has successfully completed the task, although it also reflects his eagerness for quick success, but he has also done things for the people.
With the experience of the abolished prince Yinren and the "Eight Sage Kings" Yinren, this time Kangxi has a heart.
He was satisfied with Yinzhen's actions, and also satisfied with Yinzhen's selflessness in doing things for the country and the court.
In fact, at this time, Kangxi already had the idea of passing on the throne to Yinzhen.
There have been two disappointments, this time, Kangxi was very indifferent to Yinzhen on the surface, so that everyone couldn't guess who Kangxi was going to pass the throne to, let alone Yinzhen's status in Kangxi's heart.
Behind the scenes, Kangxi always pays attention to and attaches importance to Yinzhen, and wants to train him to be the next king.
Facts have proved that Kangxi did not look at the wrong person, Yinzhen has always been conscientious and has not done anything out of the ordinary, which has won Kangxi's trust.
At the last moment before Kangxi died, he said the last words of the fourth elder brother.
This last sentence made everyone present unbelievable, especially the Eight Masters Party.
Yinxi's insidiousness
"I, the biography is in ...... Fourth Elder Brother ......"
As soon as he finished saying this, Kangxi closed his eyes forever, and he could no longer see such a chilling scene next.
For a while, all the princes present forgot the sadness of their father's death, and began to fight for succession.
They couldn't believe that the eighth elder brother was not the last candidate, and they couldn't believe that the fourth elder brother would succeed to the throne, so they confused the public on the side, claiming that Huang Ama was talking about the "fourteenth elder brother".
But facts are facts, Kangxi also prepared an edict in advance, and finally the fourth elder brother successfully ascended the throne and became Yongzheng.
It is generally believed that after the emperor succeeds to the throne, he will first deal with those parties that are opposite to him, after all, it was not a united front in the past, so he may not know when he will stab himself in the back.
It is precisely for this reason that Yongzheng and Yinzheng have always been at odds, and Yinzheng is against Yongzheng everywhere, what Yongzheng wants to do, he wants to mess him up and not let him get his way.
As can be seen from the incident of "Bionomin".
Yongzheng first commended Nuo Min and let the people in the court learn more from him, so he named him "the first governor of the world".
However, this time it was Yongzheng who looked away, and Nuo Min was actually a villain, who only knew how to bully the soft and fear the hard all day long.
In such a situation, Lao Bayinyu grabbed his handle and waited for an opportunity to take revenge on Kangxi.
He knew what kind of person Nomin was, and he knew what would happen to Nomin next.
So in order to make Yongzheng a joke, he has to try his best to protect Nuo Min, so that his mistake is confirmed, and he will not be able to have greater authority, and now, who will listen to him.
At that time, Yinxi plans to come forward by himself and let everyone in the world see who is the Ming Jun and who is the one who can make a difference.
I have to say that Yinxi's scheming is really heavy.
But who made Yongzheng the emperor? The position of emperor is not something that anyone can do if they want to, Yongzheng can achieve this position, he must have the material to be an emperor.
So how could he not know about Yinxi's careful thoughts.
What's more, the two have been fighting for so many years, and it is impossible for Yongzheng not to understand Yinxi's character.
In this way, Yongzheng will definitely not let himself lose, this time, in the end, Yinzheng lost.
Immediately afterwards, Yinxi turned his target to Yongzheng's son Hongshi.
Hongshi, like Yinxi, wants to get the throne, but he only knows how to go crooked, play clever, and even regard the former loser Yinxi as his "mentor".
Hongshi really listened to him, and he went to attack and assassinate Hongli.
You must know that Hongli is the next candidate for the throne in Yongzheng's heart, and if he can do such a thing, he will definitely not be punished lightly.
Fortunately, Hongli returned safely and there was no major problem.
In fact, Hongli is not easy to bully, so he used just a few words to bury Hongshi directly.
It can be said that a large part of the reason for Hiroshi's execution was due to Yinxi.
Yinzheng really can't pit Yongzheng's son, it's really bad enough.
