Why did Concubine Yi, who was favored by Kangxi, lose to Concubine De in the palace fight, and even end up depressed?
People who have seen and watched "Kangxi Micro Service Private Interview" know that Yifei is one of Kangxi's favorite concubines, almost every time she goes out, she has to take Yifei, which shows that Yifei is an indispensable helper in Kangxi's mind, and The Yifei in the TV series is smart and cunning, not only the dignity of the palace concubine, but also the arrogance of the chivalrous woman, which may be the main reason why Kangxi likes to take her out! The end of the TV series seems a bit regrettable to many people, Yifei died in order to save Kangxi, Kangxi was sad and found a substitute for Yifei to accompany his second body, but anyway, Yifei in the TV series is fully worthy of the word Kangxi's heart, so how about this heart in real life?
People who know the history of the Qing Dynasty should know that the emperor after Kangxi was Yongzheng, and Yongzheng's mother was a concubine, that is to say, the final winner was Concubine De, and Concubine Yi lost, so was the concubine in history not favored by Kangxi? Why did she lose in the palace fight? In fact, the historical Yifei was still very favored by Kangxi, for example, in the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", it was recorded that "the holy ancestors loved her very much", and in the "Yongxian Record", it was also recorded that Kangxi "cared deeply" for Yifei! Although Kangxi did not take Yifei with him every time he went out to play, he often wrote letters to Yifei to report that he was safe, and every time he returned to the palace, he brought souvenirs to Yifei, which was still very telling!
Kangxi's love for Yifei is more than that, many people may know that Yifei was born very high, is the famous Guo Luoluoshi, but also because of her noble surname, so as soon as she entered the palace, she was named Yi Concubine, which is rare in the history of the Qing Dynasty, people who have watched the famous palace fighting drama "The Biography of Zhen Huan" know that the family background of Shen Meizhuang is also very large, so just entering the palace was named a nobleman, which was already very remarkable at the time, and Yifei's concubine was obviously more noble than the nobles. In this way, many people felt that Concubine Yi was very popular with the emperor! Getting the emperor's green eyes means that there are many heirs, such a statement is not false at all, a detailed count of Kangxi's harem, there are only a few concubines who can give Kangxi a son, not to mention that several sons are born at once?
And Yifei is one of them, she gave birth to Kangxi a total of 3 sons, five brothers, nine brothers and eleven brothers, which is very similar to Princess De, because she also gave birth to 3 sons to Kangxi, it can be said that in terms of heirs, Kangxi harem can also fight a tie between the two of them, since in terms of heirs, there is no loss of others, and even Kangxi's favor, plus her own hanging mother's family, how can she lose to Princess De, who is born from a slave? In fact, such a question itself is wrong, because In the Kangxi Dynasty, Yifei did not lose to Princess De at all, and she did not lose in the palace fight!
In fact, in the late Kangxi period, the matter of the nine sons taking the concubine was not something that Kangxi could control, and finally the four brothers took the throne, this result was somewhat surprising, and almost no one even believed that he could be a good emperor, even Defei herself, according to the Qing Dynasty historical records, Defei was actually unwilling to attend the enthronement ceremony of the new king, and Yongzheng directly led hundreds of officials to the palace gate of Defei for his own face! At that time, Princess De thought in her heart, if only her younger son became emperor, after all, the eldest son was not close to herself, and she had not been raised by herself!
In this way, Yongzheng came to power under the exclusion of the palace and outside the palace, we all know that Yongzheng was a good emperor who was diligent in government and loved the people, and even in his reign of more than 10 years, he restored the national strength of the Qing Dynasty to the highest peak, and also saved a lot of wealth, but the descendants were too extravagant, which led to the eventual demise of the Qing Dynasty, I believe that if Yongzheng knew that the money he had worked so hard to save was defeated by his descendants, he would not be so saved! Then again, such a good emperor who is diligent in government and loves the people really can hardly imagine that he would treat his brothers and political enemies so cruelly!
We all know that Yongzheng's main political enemy is the Eight Brothers Party, and the main members of the Eight Brothers Are Eight Brothers and Nine Brothers, and many people are not unfamiliar with the fate of The Eight Brothers, for example, the wife of the Eight Brothers was indirectly killed by Yongzheng, and for example, the Christianity that supported the Eight Brothers to come to power was also directly stopped by Yongzheng at that time, and the reason for this result is, of course, the Eight Brothers are to blame themselves, not to mention his successor, not to mention the Ninth Brother, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, Directly imprisoned, only 4 years later died, the loss of her beloved son Yi Concubine can not even vent her emotions well, but also in the harem and snake!
After all, as long as she is a little wayward, Yongzheng will think that they are unfaithful, although the Ninth Brother has died, but the Fifth Brother and their descendants are still there, if you want them to be safe, the best way is to be patient, only in this way, Yongzheng will let down his guard against them! After another 6 years, when Yongzheng was 10 years old, Yifei's eldest son, Brother Wu, also died, and at this time, Yifei's health also began to deteriorate, and she only insisted on it for two years before she died! Such an ending is somewhat lamentable, so why can't Yifei's son ascend to the throne like Yifei's son?
This problem involves Kangxi again, because some people say that Kangxi may not like Yifei at all, which can be seen from Kangxi's arrangement of several children of Yifei, and many people may not know that the Fujin of the five brothers is Mongol, which is actually very normal in the early Qing Dynasty, such as several Fujin and empresses of the Emperor Taiji are Mongols, because the Qing Dynasty at that time was still relatively weak and needed the help of the Mongols, so there will be a situation where Mongolian women dominate the qing Emperor's harem, plus Kang's grandmother later. That is to say, Empress Xiaozhuang has controlled the government for many years, so even if Kangxi is very grateful to her for raising herself, from a political point of view, he actually does not have any good feelings for Empress Xiaozhuang!
Therefore, as early as the Shunzhi Emperor before Kangxi, he was already weakening the influence of the Mongol team, but the Shunzhi Emperor's ruling time was relatively short, so he could not see any effect at all, and Kangxi adhered to his father's legacy, and was very principled in dealing with Mongolia, such as his own Mongolian concubines, who could be in a high position, but it was impossible to have heirs, even if they had heirs, it was impossible to give them a good education, so among Kangxi's sons, there were very few Mongolian blood! Therefore, in order to maintain friendly exchanges with Mongolia, he had to sacrifice his son! The first son to be sacrificed was Concubine Yi's fifth brother, in fact, the fifth brother had actually lost the right to inherit from the moment he was accused of marriage!
So since Kangxi prefers Yifei, in the spirit of loving Wu and Wu's mind, how should not sacrifice the five brothers to complete their political ambitions, such a question no one can answer, the most popular explanation is that Kangxi likes Yifei is not false, but he prefers the Qing Dynasty! YiFei's five brothers can not be reused, but the nine brothers can not be reused is a bit of a lament, people who have seen the Qing Palace drama know that the ninth brother is the most profitable prince, and it is precisely because of his financial support that the eight brothers can be mixed in the court, which seems to be good today, and can even be said to be very good! But this was not the case in ancient times!
Scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants are not just talking, this really represents the mainstream view of society at that time, if it is reused by the emperor, which prince will be willing to do business, you must know that the consequences of this are very serious, first of all, the upper class looks down on him, and then if he makes more money, some people will say that he is fighting with the people for profits! If the scale is not controlled well, it will be grabbed by people! Just imagine, if Kangxi values him and gives him some errands from time to time, I believe that Brother Jiu will not be addicted to business, and arranging errands for his son in the Qing Dynasty will mean that this son has been valued, and the people below will naturally be filial piety, so that the life of the prince will not be too tight!
But if the emperor does not pay attention, then the life of the emperor is actually not easy, especially kangxi has so many princes, it is impossible to want to do everything, so it is not so much that the Ninth Brother is better at business, but rather that it is forced! So as The son of Concubine Yi, why was the Kangxi Emperor so harsh on him? So did Kangxi really spoil Concubine Yi? In real life, Yifei lived much longer than in the TV series, until Yongzheng died in 11 years, you must know that Yongzheng reigned for a total of 13 years, as long as Yifei insisted on two years, then the good days will come!
So after Yongzheng ascended the throne, what unfair treatment did Concubine Yi suffer? In fact, Princess Defei gave very little grievance, because Princess De did not treat Yongzheng very well, so she and Concubine Yifei had a sense of pity for each other, and Yongzheng obviously did not think so, for example, after seeing Concubine Yifei by her mother Princess De, she always had to sneer a few words, and even after death, Yongzheng did not let her go, because of the Ninth Brother, after Princess Yi died, Yongzheng did not let her be buried in Kangxi's Jingling Concubine Bed, until Qianlong ascended to the throne, he moved her to Kangxi Jingling Concubine's bed, which shows how deep Yongzheng's resentment towards her is!
Of course, it is precisely because after Qianlong ascended to the throne, he began to be unfair to his uncle and uncle, and even justified their names, so that many people feel that Qianlong is a child of a pit daddy, you know that if Yongzheng is not so cruel to his political enemies, then when the Qing Dynasty is handed over to Qianlong's hands, it will not be so stable, so even if Yongzheng is so cruel to political enemies and brothers in history, no one says anything about him, after all, it only took 13 years for people to let the Qing Dynasty return to its peak state! And Concubine Yi did not actually lose in the palace fight, but only fell victim to the change of regime!
