Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, why did the old fourteen resist the decree and make trouble in the mourning hall? It's not about giving it a go, it's about saving your life! What's going on?
After Yongzheng sat on the throne, few people in and outside the palace were idle. Lao Thirteen and Long Keduo had their faces red-eyed on the one hand, and they tried their best to stabilize the situation; As a contender for the throne, Yinyu's heart is not convinced, it is like a balloon that has been blown up, and it may explode at any time.
In his opinion, he is the one who should continue to be brilliant in the prosperous era of Kangxi. But the throne was given to Yongzheng, and this sudden blow made him unable to swallow the resentment in his heart.
After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, the first thing the new emperor did was to put the two provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi under martial law. Who is this obviously a demonstration to?
Don't think about it, it must be to prevent a character like Yinyu from doing something.
On the one hand, Yongzheng blocked the road for Yinyu, and on the other hand, he sent Tu Lichen, a veteran of the two dynasties, as a candidate to escort (in fact, supervise) Yinyu back to Beijing.
This matter is simply a public insult to Yinyu.
After all, when a prince returns to Beijing for funeral, how much honor and decency does it take, but Yongzheng treats him in this way.
So in a ruined temple, as soon as Yinyu saw Tu Lichen, as soon as the tune came out, he knew that it was not good.
His questioning was actually a test, testing what Yongzheng's attitude was towards him, and it was also a psychological offensive against the new emperor.
To be honest, this interrogation was like a pediatrics to Turichen. This veteran guard has seen more wind and waves than Yinyu has ever eaten.
Facing Tu Lichen, who was watching coldly, Yinyu knew that his set was useless at all.
However, Yinyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and although his questioning did not make too many waves, it showed this confrontational posture.
On the way to the capital driven by the anti-decree, Yinyu's mind must be spinning rapidly. He understood that the old way would not work in front of the new emperor.
And Yongzheng, at this time, there are not many cards in his hand. It is impossible for him to really do anything to Yinyu, and he has to be always vigilant against this brother who may cause chaos at any time.
At the end of the day, it's all a Game of Thrones. Once the throne is confirmed, it represents the ultimate destination of power.
Yinyu's dissatisfaction and resistance to the decree are just a small wave in this game. The problem is that once this wave is set off, no one knows what it will turn out of.
The deep reason for the havoc
At Kangxi's mourning hall, the Yinyu brothers staged a good show, which made the eyes of everyone present light up. He first hugged the coffin and wept loudly, turning all his dissatisfaction and sorrow into a cry.
If you want to say that he is really sad, he has been so close to Kangxi for so many years, and suddenly lost his father, and it is understandable to cry twice.
But listening to his cry, I felt that there was more than just sadness in it, and there seemed to be something else in it.
Next, an unexpected scene happened.
Wu Yashi, that is, Yinyu's own mother, was bent on persuading him to stop this farce.
Who knew that Yinyu suddenly had a big rebellion, not only did he not listen to his mother's words, but he even spoke viciously to her, and pushed her down emotionally.
This scene made everyone dumbfounded, and they all re-evaluated Yinyu's behavior.
You say, is this Yinyu suddenly crazy or something? suddenly made a big fuss in the mourning hall and pushed down his own mother, what is the mystery behind this?
Tell you, all this is in Yinyu's calculations, and he is actually using an extreme way to win a layer of protection for himself.
Putting Yongzheng in an embarrassing situation in front of everyone, he was shocking Yongzheng in his own way, letting Yongzheng know that even if he lost his military power and the status of the general king today, it was not so easy for me to be solved.
Speaking ill of Wu Ya's clan is a disguised self-protection given by Yinyu.
It highlights his disdain in the face of family affection and power, and tries to force Yongzheng to make a compromise through radical behavior - that is, to canonize Wu Yashi as the empress dowager as soon as possible to improve his status and safety factor.
From the beginning of the protest to the capital, to the big trouble in the mourning hall, Yinyu was actually conveying his attitude and bottom line to Yongzheng through this series of behaviors.
silently told Yongzheng that although he was unwilling to take the throne and questioned Yongzheng's succession, he was more concerned about his safety and status.
A series of crazy demon moves are all being calculated, with only one purpose - to gain a firm foothold in this stormy Qing Dynasty.
It can be seen that Yinyu's drama of making a big fuss in the mourning hall is not just a simple vent or expression of dissatisfaction, but also a far-reaching intention and careful calculation behind it.
This is Yinyu, a prince who was pinned on high hopes in Kangxi's later years, and still refused to admit defeat after losing the battle for the throne, and fought for his own interests and status through various ways.
Later, Yinyu was sent to Jingling to guard the internal logic, think about it carefully, it is not just that Emperor Yongzheng punished this former political enemy.
Yongzheng knew in his heart that the resentment and desire for a high position in Yinyu's heart would not be easily wiped out.
He was sent to guard the mausoleum, first, to keep him away from the center of imperial power, to cut off his ambitions and possible rebellions; Second, it also gave him a space for calmness and self-reflection, which can be regarded as a kind of compassion for Yongzheng's compatriot.
In addition, Yongzheng also needs time to calm down the turmoil in the court and stabilize his position.
It can be said that this decision has a double meaning both internally and externally.
