Yongzheng's birth mother is Wu Yashi, and his adoptive mother is Tong Jiashi, in Yongzheng's recollection, the impression of Wuyashi is relatively vague, but the impression of Tong Jiashi is quite profound, and even Yongzheng himself said that "the birth of grace is not as big as the raising of grace", which is enough to see that the feelings between Yongzheng and the birth mother Wuyashi are very general.
Perhaps many people think that the bad relationship between the two is the reason for Yongzheng, but in real history, most of the reasons for the bad relationship between the two are wuyashi, she can be willful to the point that even after Yongzheng ascends the throne, she wants to make her the empress dowager, she is unwilling to live or die, so that Yongzheng is really embarrassed.
In the twelfth year of Kangxi, the Uya clan entered the palace through the draft and became a palace maid in the Kangxi harem, and after five years, the Uya clan was favored by Kangxi and gave birth to a son Yongzheng, but at that time, the status of the Uya clan was still very low, and even the rank of "concubine" could not be reached, so according to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty, concubines with too low status were not allowed to raise their sons personally, and they needed to send their sons to the concubines of high status to raise them.
Yongzheng was the fourth oldest among Kangxi's sons, and was also the older one among Kangxi's many sons, so at that time Yongzheng was fortunate to be raised by Tong Jiashi, the actual ruler of the Kangxi harem, and has been thriving under the education and upbringing of Tong Jia since then.
Tong Jia was the strongest family in the Qing Dynasty at that time, known as the "Tong Half Dynasty", and the reason why its family was able to prosper for a long time, in addition to their intricate relationship with the Qing Dynasty royal family, in my opinion, there is a very important reason, that is, their children's education is relatively successful, and their pattern and thinking are much stronger than the average person from an early age.
Yongzheng was able to grow up under tong jia's education, I have to say that it is a very fortunate thing, perhaps from the very beginning of the matter, we still can't see any clues, but from many things later, we can understand that the reason why Yongzheng can become the ultimate victor of the nine sons is closely related to Tong Jia's education from childhood.
In the twenty-eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Empress Tong Jia died, when Yongzheng was already 11 years old, in ancient times, many such ages were already more sensible, Yongzheng grew up around Tong Jiashi from a young age, not to mention more. After eleven years, Yongzheng returned to his birth mother, Wu Yashi, but found that at this time Wu Yashi had already given birth to a younger brother, and this child was about one year old at the time, and Yongzheng was very surprised to see it.
Knowing that he could not stay with his mother at that time, why was his younger brother Yin Yu able to stay with his mother and raise him? It turned out that it was the Wu Ya clan at this time, and her identity had changed dramatically, and she had become a concubine who was one of the four concubines, which could be said to be of a high status, and Yin Yu was naturally able to stay around and raise her personally.
The 11-year-old Yongzheng also understands these truths, so he tries to restrain himself, but the first time she raises a child, Wu Yashi is very different, she gave all her love and care to Yin Yu, and even felt that Yongzheng was not her own child, and the relationship with Yongzheng was particularly distant.
In the thirtieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the 13-year-old Yongzheng married the Uranara clan, according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the prince needed to move to his own mansion after marriage, so Yongzheng and the Uranara clan bid farewell to their mother and lived alone in their own mansion. Wu Yashi, who had not been with Yongzheng since childhood, was in full love with her youngest son Yin Yu at that time, and had no heart to care about Yongzheng's thoughts, of course, she did not care about Yongzheng's thoughts.
It is this estrangement that makes the relationship between Yongzheng and Wuya clan become very weak, but the good villain is also a mother-son connection, at least at this time, the relationship between the two is not as serious as in the later period, if the relationship between the two continues to deteriorate later, there is a huge relationship with wuyashi.
After the abolition of the crown prince, Kangxi's sons staged a drama of nine sons taking the concubine, Wu Yashi, as a mother, should have balanced the relationship between the two sons well, let them live in peace, and unite with the outside world, but she did not do this at all, her approach was greatly disappointing, she not only did not exhort the two sons to unite with the outside world, but also sided with Yin Yu and openly opposed Yongzheng.
Even his own mother and brother chose to work against Yongzheng, and you can imagine how bad Yongzheng's mood was at that time, and it was such a decision that made the relationship between Yongzheng and Wu yashi worse, and it can even be said that the two sides have basically equated with hostile relations.
The Uya clan had always supported Yin Yu and had great hopes for him, and in the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi, the Mongol Dzungar chief Tseyu Alabutan launched a rebellion, and Kangxi appointed Yin Yu as the "Great General King" to lead the northwest army to suppress the rebellion, this time Yin Yu performed well, successfully quelled the rebellion, and was greatly praised by Kangxi.
At that time, the nine sons and concubines were nearing the end, such as the eighth, the ninth, the second and other people have been gradually eliminated by Kangxi, only the old fourth Yongzheng and the old fourteen Yinyu, is the most popular candidate for the kangxi heir, after Yin Yu achieved a huge victory in counterinsurgency, many people think that Yin Yu will become the final successor of Kangxi, Wu Yashi naturally also feels that Yin Yu became the successor, it should be a matter of certainty.
However, just four years later, Kangxi died suddenly, and the old Siyongzheng became the final heir and successfully ascended the throne as emperor, when the birth mother Wu Yashi was suddenly confused, she could not accept this reality at all, and even believed that Yongzheng had stolen the throne of Yin Yu and was quite dissatisfied with Yongzheng.
Yongzheng is also a man of affection and righteousness, after he ascended the throne, he began to clean up the rest of those involved in the capture of the nine sons, and even executed them, only his younger brother Yin Yu, with heavy troops in the northwest region, but Yongzheng did not kill him, but ordered him to quickly return to the capital to participate in Kangxi's funeral, and after returning to the capital, he was stripped of his military power, and then arranged to go to Kangxi to guard the mausoleum.
Seeing this, Wu Yashi's whole person was going crazy, she thought that Yongzheng had already robbed Yin Yu of the throne, and now she still had to seize Yin Yu's military power and arrange for him to guard the tomb, which was completely unsettling for Yin Yu, so yongzheng had changed from previous dissatisfaction to hatred.
Many people think that Yongzheng was indeed more cruel to Yin Yu at that time, but we will find that Yongzheng was already quite merciful to Yin Yu, such as Lao Ba, Lao Jiu, and other people who had previously robbed the throne with YongZheng, and finally ended up being executed by Him, Yin Yu, as the most popular candidate for the throne with Yongzheng in the end, after the failure of the seizure of power, he was not executed by Yongzheng, and he was already quite worthy of him, if it were not for the brotherhood, it is estimated that Yin Yu would also be the same desolate end.
However, with the pattern and mind of Wu Yashi, she was definitely unable to understand such a truth, so she began to remember all her hatred on Yongzheng, and in many things after that, she fully demonstrated her dissatisfaction with Yongzheng and her non-cooperation.
After Yong became the final heir, many of Kangxi's concubines went to congratulate the Wuya clan, and as a result, the Wuya clan directly said that Yongzheng was the emperor in front of everyone, which he did not dare to imagine, and the implication was full of dissatisfaction with Yongzheng and the unwillingness of Yin Yu not becoming emperor.
Everyone saw this emotion of Wu Yashi and persuaded her one after another, but Wu Yashi not only did not listen to the advice, but also continued to intensify, and in the next series of behaviors, everyone was surprised. For example, when Yongzheng was conducting Kangxi's funeral, Wu Yashi actually claimed that he was going to be martyred for Kangxi, which made Yongzheng really faceless, and the people present persuaded her one after another, and finally avoided unpleasantness.
Before Yongzheng ascended the throne, it was necessary to meet his birth mother Uyashi in accordance with the ancestral system, and as a result, Uyashi said that there was nothing important to her, and he refused Yongzheng's request to see her, and everyone saw that Uyashi was so stubborn, they could only persuade her, Yongzheng had no way, and finally killed the palace women and eunuchs around Wuyashi as a threat, and only then did he prompt Wuyashi to agree to accept his visit.
Of course, these are not the worst, the most excessive behavior of the Uya clan is that after Yongzheng ascended the throne, it is necessary to seal the birth mother Uya clan as the "empress dowager" according to the ancestral system, but the Uya clan does not accept this canonization, Yongzheng before and after thinking of many ways to persuade her to accept, but it is useless, this matter has been circling for half a year, before finally implementing, unfortunately, the day before the canonization ceremony, the Uya clan died, so that Yongzheng fell into an embarrassing situation of helplessness.
Judging from all the behaviors of Wu Yashi, her dissatisfaction with Yongzheng is no longer so lost, she seems not to understand that in the royal family, many things themselves are not as simple as she imagined, and it is precisely because of her dissatisfaction with Yongzheng and her unwillingness to Yin Yu and many other emotions accumulated in her heart, resulting in Wu Yashi's depression and ending, I have to say that she is also begging for food.
Yongzheng's treatment of Wu Yashi and his younger brother Yin Yu, in fact, in the historical background at that time, there was nothing wrong with it, and it could even be said that YongZheng was able to achieve such generosity, which was quite rare and valuable, but Wu Ya Clan did not appreciate it, this is obviously the wrong of Wu Ya Clan, with Wu Ya Clan's mind and temperament, we can probably see some of the essential reasons for Yin Yu's failure, if Yong Zheng was raised by Wu Ya Clan since childhood, it would be difficult to achieve later achievements!
