The fourth brother Yin_, who was "nine sons to seize the legitimate title", won and ascended the throne with a yellow robe, which was the Yongzheng Emperor's constitution as Emperor Shizong of the Qing Dynasty. His die-hard brother and "group partner" Thirteenth Brother Huang Hong are also in his position. The titles of Prince Heshuoyi and King Wangshuang of Luoning County are hereditary, and he devoted himself to his fourth brother. The victorious "group" is always glorious and praised by future generations. But as a loser, he often ends up miserable and is regretted or even despised by future generations. "Eight Monarchs" is the best "exposition" of the fate of the losers in the feudal power struggle.
To a certain extent, the competition for reserves in China’s feudal society can be defined as “gambling.” If you win this bet, you can be on top of the world, have all the rights and resources in the world, and you can fulfill all your ambitions and ideals. Of course, you can indulge your desires as much as you want. Faced with such a huge "temptation", how can we not be eager to give it a try if we have "gambling funds"?
Aisinqiaoro has outstanding abilities and extensive connections. He enjoys a high reputation among princes and ministers, and is fully qualified to participate in this "gamble". He had no reason and did not want to give up this "gamble" opportunity.
This gamble left a huge mark on him in history and led to the tragic end of his life.
Aixinjueluo Yinxu, the eighth son of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty and the half-brother of Yongzheng, was deeply favored by Kangxi since childhood. He was named Baylor at the age of 17, and was the youngest prince to be knighted at that time.
So what caused the storage race to fail? Was it because Emperor Kangxi didn't love him enough or was there something wrong with the "strategic policy"? The author summarized three reasons for his failure:
1. The quality of the group’s personnel is uneven, which not only cannot help you at critical times, but also hinders you;
2. I don’t know Whoever is my real opponent will prematurely "expose" myself to the broad daylight and become the target of public criticism;
3. I did not gain the trust of my father Kangxi very well. To put it bluntly, I didn’t understand what the leader was thinking.
I also hope that readers can summarize one or two life revelations worthy of our vigilance through the narration and analysis of Yin Zi’s life in this article.
Aisin Gioro was born in the 20th year of Kangxi. He was the eighth son of Emperor Kangxi, so he was called the "Eighth Prince" or "Eighth Master". His mother, the Wei family, was the daughter of the Manchurian royal yellow flag wrapper and the palace steward. In the 39th year of Kangxi's reign, Mrs. Wei was named "Good Concubine" and became the youngest of the five concubines of Emperor Kangxi at that time, and the last one to have a prince.
When he was a child, he was brought up by his biological mother, Huifei Nora, so he and Huifei Nora were very close and had a good relationship.
Why was Yin Zi not educated by her own mother, but given to other concubines? This is because in the Qing Dynasty, ordinary concubines with low status could not raise the prince, because they were afraid of being "taught bad" by the prince, so they had to find imperial concubines with better background and higher status to raise them. Therefore, the status of the biological mother's natal family was not high, and the concubine Wei only had one child named Yin in her life.
For a prince like Yin Xu who has a mother's family background, if he wants to be favored by his father, Emperor Kangxi, he can only become better by working harder the day after tomorrow.
The Qing Dynasty paid special attention to the education of the prince, and stipulated that the prince should study in the study room at the age of six. A famous Confucian master teaches Manchu, Mongolian, and Khan languages ??every day, supplemented by riding and archery.
Historical records: "On June 10, the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign, Kangxi made an evaluation of the learning situation of several senior brothers. Among them, the third son was six years old. The third son, the fourth son, Yin_, the seventh son, and the eighth son came to Kangxi one after another. They read all the articles, and their voices were loud and clear. The third son, the third son, the third son, the seventh son, the third son, and the eighth son are all very smart. They were already in study hall before they were about six years old.
Because calligraphy was a major weakness of Yin Zi, Emperor Kangxi specially arranged for He Chao, a calligrapher at the time, to teach calligraphy and asked him to write 10 words every day for presentation. In terms of riding and shooting, Yinzi is not behind other princes.
13-year-old Yin Zi can help Emperor Kangxi identify tribute horses. Without good riding skills, it may be difficult to do this job well.
It can be said that both Yin Ziwen and Wu have made great achievements. It should be said that Yin Zi was quite popular with Emperor Kangxi at this time.
Emperor Kangxi, Aixinjueluo Ye Xuan, was the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the second emperor after the capital of the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Kangxi, the defender of China's unified multi-ethnic country, laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, created the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong, and was revered by later generations of scholars as the "first emperor of the ages."
In the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi established the first eldest prince, Yin Zi, who was promoted to Baylor. At that time he was the youngest prince to be promoted to Baelor, at only seventeen years old. At the same time, the eldest and third brothers were promoted to county kings, and the fourth, fifth, seventh, and eighth brothers Yinzi were all promoted to Baylor.
At the same time, Yinzi also began to work as a policeman and was appointed by Kangxi many times. When appropriate, he and his third son Yin Zhijun handled government affairs together, and also helped Prince Yu Fuquan manage Guangshan Library and rebuild Dongyue Temple.
Prince Yu Fuquan also praised Yinzi in front of Emperor Kangxi for not bragging, for being smart, capable, virtuous and talented. To be praised by his uncle, it should be said that Yinzi did a very good job.
At the same time, Yin Zai attaches great importance to cultivating his own popularity. He is easy-going, has no airs in his dealings with others, is flexible and gentle, and does not stick to rules and status. He also has a good relationship with other brothers, such as the ninth brother Yinzi, the tenth brother Yinzi, and the fourteenth brother. They are all "eight masters party" "The main members and court ministers are also his friends.
Moreover, Yin Zi generally has a good reputation among Han literati. His teacher He Chao and other Jiangnan literati often bent over for advice and had many interactions with them.
Having such a wide range of great relationships is more than just making friends and exploring knowledge. He must be deliberately trying to win over people and build a network foundation for himself.
Because of this, there are many simple-minded people with average abilities who also want to rely on others, resulting in uneven quality of "team" personnel, and often poor performance at critical moments!
The first time Prince Yin_ was deposed was in the 47th year of Kangxi reign.
Due to the various "evil deeds" of Prince Yintan and the imprisonment of Suo'etu by Emperor Kangxi, the relationship between father and son broke down. Emperor Kangxi decided to depose Prince Yintan, which shocked the government and the public. All the princes were "eager to try" for the throne of the prince. ".
Aixinjueluo Yinren, a royal family member of the Qing Dynasty, was the last publicly appointed crown prince in the history of the Qing Dynasty and China.
First of all, "Stand up" refers to Zhijun's eldest brother Wang Yi'e, which means "Who stands up for me". He even asked Emperor Kangxi to kill Crown Prince Yin'e, who immediately reprimanded him severely, clearly declaring, "I previously ordered the wise king Yin'e to protect me, and I had no intention of making Yin'e the crown prince.
" She neither Patient and stupid, so can she become the crown prince? ". There is no doubt that this directly destroyed Yin Qi's dream of inheriting the unification.
But Yin Fu did not give up. His next stupid behavior not only ruined everything for himself, but also almost dragged Yin Fu into the abyss .
Seeing that he had no hope of inheriting the throne, Yin Gang immediately turned to Yin Gang and elected Yin Gang as the prince, hoping to use Yin Gang's position to protect his political goals. What's even more stupid is that he also joined forces with the charlatan Zhang Mingde. To create public opinion, it was said that Zhang Mingde was a master of physiognomy, and he had done fortune telling for Yin Fu, and he would be blessed and noble in the future.
This public opinion caused Emperor Kangxi to be furious and ordered a thorough investigation of Zhang Deming's case. . The next day, Emperor Kangxi summoned all the princes and said: "After the crown prince was deposed, the seal once said that sealing was good. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Ge, who was a minister, had always been a good idea for Yin Ying and Yin_, and the Poison Association went to sponsor them, which meant a lot of death. Coupled with the verbal conflict, Emperor Kangxi was furious and drew his sword to kill Yin_. Fortunately, the fifth elder brother Yin Qi knelt down and hugged Kangxi, and all the princes begged him for mercy, so a fight was avoided.
It can be seen from this that Wusi Yin_ was not a good candidate to be the emperor. Although it was later discovered that Zhang Mingde's case had nothing to do with Yin Gui, but was committed by his eldest brother Yin Gui alone, Emperor Kangxi failed to report Zhang Mingde's arrogant words in time, deposed him from the title of Baylor, and became an idle clan.
Because of the eldest brother's trouble, Yin Gui not only temporarily lost his title, but was also suspected by Emperor Kangxi. He exposed his ambition to seize power early, which was very detrimental to the implementation of Yin Gui's future power seizure plan.
When the prince was deposed, the East Palace was vacant, and the princes were "ready to make a move". The shrewd Emperor Kangxi had already noticed it, so the old emperor decided to "vote" to elect the prince, and many people voted to succeed the prince.
Before this, Emperor Kangxi cried bitterly when he recalled this useless prince after returning to the palace from Nanyuan. The author believes that Emperor Kangxi "cryed bitterly" at this time for two reasons: first, the prince lived up to expectations; second, he "showed" to the officials how much I couldn't bear to leave the prince.
Emperor Kangxi summoned Yinxu, then summoned Yinxu, and issued an edict "Don't mention this matter again from now on", and emphasized that Yinxu was not involved in harming the prince and others, and it was not Yinxu's crime. These are nothing more than statements of facts and do not show Emperor Kangxi's "special care" for the Yin Ruins.
But Emperor Kangxi summoned Yin Tan many times and showed great concern, obviously favoring Yin Tan. In many conversations with ministers, he deliberately revealed the meaning of "re-establishing Yin Tan". Emperor Kangxi believed that "the time has come" and all ministers knew his "intentions", so on November 14th, the 47th year of Kangxi's reign.
Perhaps the ministers of the Kangxi Dynasty were all honest and honest, and whoever was truly outstanding would be elected. This election result really surprised Emperor Kangxi and the courtiers in the court, led by Tong Guowei, Ma Qi, Aling'a, Erundai, Wang, etc. Emperor Kangxi also named Song Yin as the crown prince, which greatly exceeded Kangxi's expectations.
You know, this is not a simple matter for Emperor Kangxi.
First, Yin Zai is not his ideal candidate, and it goes against his own wishes.
Second, what is even more frightening is that Yin’s influence is too great. The joint sponsorship of courtiers from both Korea and China directly threatened the imperial power.
As a result, Emperor Kangxi made various excuses and would rather "break his promise" than make Yin the crown prince.
After that, Emperor Kangxi said a lot and did many things that were obviously in favor of restoration, and the ministers had no choice but to obey. Although Emperor Kangxi restored Baylor's title, it did not mean that Emperor Kangxi would not further suppress Baylor's title.
In the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, the Yin people restored the crown prince, and Emperor Kangxi made a seal on the crown prince. Yin Ren did not receive further title promotion, so in the end, Yin Ren only received the title of Baylor.
If it were not for the influence of these "incidents", given Yinzi's ability and Kangxi's attitude towards him in the early years, it would be absolutely reasonable to be awarded the royal military rank. As a result, the old emperor already had a "knot" in his heart.
The author believes that at this time, there may be only 20 successors to Yin Zi, and then this "Eagle Killing Incident" directly shattered the last hope.
In the fiftieth year of Kangxi's reign, Yinzi's biological mother, a good concubine, was very sad. She offered sacrifices and burned incense to express her sorrow that as a prince, she could not serve her mother.
In the fifty-first year, the Yin people were deposed again. They spent the rest of their lives chatting in Xian'an Palace and were miserable.
In November of the fifty-third year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi inspected Rehe. Because it was the third anniversary of the concubine's death, Yinzi wanted to pay homage to her mother, so she did not go with her father. He sent an eunuch to explain to Emperor Kangxi why he couldn't go with him, and also brought two eagles to sacrifice his father as a sign of "filial piety."
There is nothing wrong with this, but a bad thing is a bad thing. When Emperor Kangxi opened the cage and saw two dying eagles, Emperor Kangxi was very angry and thought it was Yinzi's curse on him. He immediately summoned all the princes, scolded Yinzi again, and said: "From now on, Yinzi and I will never be grateful to my father and son." This is the general reason for the "Eagle Shooting Incident".
As for how the eagle sent by Yin Zi "died", this is a historical mystery, but I believe that this was definitely not the original intention of Yin Zi's gift, and it was probably "harmed" by someone. This is a political struggle, and he can only blame himself for being "careless" and "incompetent" because he has not discovered who is behind the scenes at all, at least he has no conclusive evidence to clear himself.
Although Emperor Kangxi and Yin Zi later reconciled somewhat, it was almost impossible for Yin Zi to inherit the throne. Helping the rising star of the Ba Ye Group, Fourteenth Age Yin_, was his only hope.
Yin Zhi clearly knows that if the princes of other groups inherit the general system, his fate will undoubtedly be an abyss. Zhen_ was appointed as the governor of Fuyuan by Emperor Kangxi, and put down the Anrabtan rebellion on his behalf. His graduation ceremony was very grand, and he was called the "King of Generals" using the crown prince system. His political influence suddenly soared and he became a popular candidate for "successor".
The brothers of the Clitoris Group are taking action, hoping to help Yin Zhen ascend to the throne. Judging from various historical materials, Emperor Kangxi was also very satisfied with Yinzhen, and Yinzhen did not live up to his father's expectations. The counter-insurgency war is progressing smoothly, and the possibility of Yinzhen's succession to the throne is extremely high.
However, on the way back to the court, in the 61st year of Kangxi's reign, the old emperor suddenly died, and Longkodo "announced" the fourth prince Yin_'s succession to the throne with his last wish.
Regardless of the legitimacy of Emperor Yongzheng's succession, in the end, the rival group won the "gamble", and his tragic life ending began.
As soon as Yinzhen succeeded to the throne, he was granted the title of Prince Heshuolian and was entrusted with important responsibilities to show his favor.
Guo Luoluo’s family in Fujin came to express their condolences. She said, "I don't know when he Xi was born."
What happened was that after Emperor Yongzheng gained a foothold, he began to "clean up" the situation.
After isolating, punishing and suppressing Yin Gui and others, in the first month of the fourth year of Yongzheng, Emperor Yongzheng officially took action. He first peeled off the yellow belts of Yingui and others, and then peeled off his wife's "Fujin" and went home. Yingui has always loved his married wife, undoubtedly emotionally.
That’s not all. After being emotionally attacked and restricted from freedom, Yinzi was once again desecrated and forced to change his name to "Ajinna" and his son to "Bao Bodhisattva". "Akina" is the old Manchu word for dog, which shows how vicious Emperor Yongzheng was in persecuting his political rival's younger brother.
In the end, after "listing" the crimes Yinzi had committed and making them known to the whole country, Yinzi was imprisoned. On the eighth day of September, Yin Zi, who was only 45 years old, died in prison due to vomiting. It can be said that history has treated Yinxu unfairly!
We can't help but ask why Emperor Yongzheng would inflict such "poison" on Yin Gui. Is it just political rivalry? If only for this reason, wouldn't it be enough to depose Yin Guo from his title and official position, lock him up and take care of him? Why do you want to kill him?
The main reason is that Yin Zai is too capable and influential. With such an "opponent", Emperor Yongzheng was willing to bear the infamy of "killing his brother" but could not keep him. It can be said that because of his ability and influence, Yin Ni was noticed by history and became a dazzling political star at that time. However, it was precisely because of her ability and influence that she was brought to "catastrophe". The so-called "success is as bad as failure, it's a pity"!
In the forty-third year of Qianlong's reign, Emperor Qianlong decided to restore his name, clan, and jade certificate on the grounds that he had not violated the order. At this time, Yinxu had been dead for 62 years.
