Three times to see "Yongzheng Dynasty": I understand why Yinzhi, who first recognized the Yongzheng throne, was not reused

"Can I use my title as a prince to exchange Li Fu's life?"

In "Yongzheng Dynasty", the third elder brother Yinzhi can be said to be a person with a relatively low sense of existence, and he can even be described as "not hearing things outside the window, and only knowing how to make books".

Yinzhi seems to be an existence that does not fight or grab, and remains neutral to the princes' succession.

Just when he learned that Huang Ama had passed the throne to the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, Yinzhi, as the elder brother, stood up directly, and was the first to bow down to Yinzhen and recognize Yinzhen's throne.

It was his appearance that allowed him to obtain the title of prince and the honor of "no kneeling in front of the emperor".

But what makes people wonder is that since Yongzheng ascended the throne, Yinzhi has never been reused, but it is just empty of fame and honor.

So why is that? What is Yongzheng guarding against?

The first Yinzhi who knelt down to worship Yongzheng

After Long Keduo announced in public that Yongzheng would succeed him as the new monarch, the third elder brother Yinxiang took the lead in standing up and bowed to Yongzheng, which also recognized Yongzheng's position as emperor.

Yinzhi's behavior is something that many people have not expected, because the relationship between Yinzhi and Yinzhen is not very good on weekdays, and there is even little intersection, and the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang is Yinzhen's "good buddy".

So it stands to reason that the first one to bow down to Yongzheng and support Yongzheng should be Yinxiang, why did the third elder brother stand up first?

In fact, this is not only Yinzhi's consideration for his own future, but mainly the result of his and Yinxiang's discussion.

Yinzhi has always been a prince who does not fight or grab, and he also does not stand in line, such an attitude should be the safest in the palace, no matter which force ascends the throne, he will fall into a good end.

So in such a situation, Yinzhi is actually not in such a hurry for quick success.

But if you take a closer look at Yinzhi's action before kneeling, you will find the truth behind this.

Just before Yinzhi stood up, he first looked at Yinxiang next to him, and after getting Yinxiang's affirmation, he stood up decisively, walked to Yongzheng and bowed down, becoming a member of Yongzheng's support.

In fact, this simple look at each other is the key to the smooth succession of Yongzheng and the stability of his position.

We know that in the court, the power of the Eight Masters Party is very strong, and almost half of the courtiers think that the new monarch should be the Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi.

Therefore, after Kangxi announced that he was located in the fourth elder brother, the eight masters present began to confuse the public one by one, unwilling to believe this fact, and said that Kangxi was talking about the fourteenth elder brother.

In such a situation, Yongzheng's succession is very difficult, even if he succeeds in succeeding to the throne, he cannot avoid the instability of the foundation behind.

And the practice of Yinzhi, the third elder brother of Yongzheng's brother, also helped him invisibly.

Because everyone knows the relationship between the Thirteenth Elder Brother and Yongzheng, if the Thirteenth Elder Brother stands up first, it is not very convincing, and this is also a matter of course.

But as an "outsider", the third elder brother is very different, he is not only older than Yongzheng, but also a prince who never stands, his kneeling is very persuasive, and he plays a leading role.

Some people will also say that if the thirteenth elder brother did not stand up first, would it cause Yongzheng's exclusion.

Of course not, the relationship between the two of them is not so fragile, so Yinxiang chose to let the third elder brother stand up first to consolidate the status and foundation of the fourth brother.

It was his emergence that also brought stability and honor to himself, not only won the title of prince, but also was given the honor of "no kneeling in front of the emperor".

However, Yinzhi should be enviable, but he has not been reused, he just has an empty name.

Why isn't Yinzhi reused?

The third elder brother Yinzhi, that is a well-known clear stream.

He never fights, never takes sides, and only does what he has to do.

When the nine sons won the throne, seeing that the other princes were competing for the throne and the position, the competition was extremely fierce.

During this period, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen didn't seem to care at all, he didn't care about winning the heir at all, but built himself into an alchemist who concentrated on cultivation.

is also the same as Yinzhen, as well as the third elder brother Yinzhi.

Yinzhi did not participate in the cause of winning the heir like everyone else, but devoted himself to compiling books.

Yinzhi is a very talented prince, it can be said that she is both civil and military, but she "imprisoned" herself and just made up a book.

When presenting Kangxi with a copy of his own compilation of "Ancient and Modern Books", this book was deeply satisfied by the emperor, and described Yinzhi's actions as "Qianqiu Industry".

Yinzhi, who is so talented and accomplished, why didn't he get Kangxi's favor and inheritance?

In fact, to be honest, Yinzhi put all his thoughts on compiling books, and neglected to do things for the country and "canvass for votes" for himself.

In such a situation, Yinzhi has almost become a neglected existence, she is not like Yinzhen, silently sharing worries for the emperor and the country, and people's seats can be seen.

Then this is the reason why Yinzhi cannot become the heir to the throne.

After Yinzhen ascended the throne, it stands to reason that because of Yinzhi's kneeling, she should be able to gain a lot of power in the court.

However, this is not the case, Yinzhi himself is a prince who does not like to fight, and he only hopes that he can spend the rest of his life in peace.

And the main reason why Yinzhi has no military power is because of his clear stream.

Yinzhi is a powerful clear stream in the court, mainly because he is a literati and does not participate in national affairs and government affairs.

In fact, there are many such clear streams throughout the country, and if they are stopped, they will be a very powerful force.

Therefore, Yongzheng must resist them, once Yinzhi has the power of the army, then it will be very easy for him to rebel, and it will be a very deadly force.

When Yongzheng wanted to implement the new policy, this clear stream was a very big stumbling block, and in order to clear the obstacles, Yongzheng arrested Li Fu, who took the lead, and asked for the guilt.

Faced with this scene, Yinzhi, who was a clear stream, couldn't sit still, and in order to save Li Fu, he even gave up the title of prince and the honor of "no kneeling in front of the emperor".

And Yinzhi did this to protect himself, after all, Li Fu is his own person, and Li Fu was beheaded, so he should be soon.

Yinzhi also realized Yongzheng's thoughts and purposes, so he gave up his title along with Yongzheng.

In the final analysis, Yongzheng has always been afraid of this Yinzhi, and has never fully trusted him, especially as Qingliu's team gradually grows, Yongzheng also slowly realizes the danger of Yinzhi.

Yinzhi understood the meaning of Yongzheng, and also understood the truth that a companion is like a tiger, so he chose not to get involved in anything in his later years, just live his own life.

In any case, Yinzhi is wise, since ancient times, ruthless is the most emperor's family, Yinzhi is to recognize his own status, put all his mind on compiling books, so he has a good old age.
