Internal grievances in the Kangxi Dynasty: Struggles and choices between princes.
In the Kangxi Dynasty, under the prosperous era, the government affairs were clear, but there was an undercurrent within the imperial family. Before Kangxi eradicated Aobai, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang married the daughter of the university scholar Suo Etu, and the two were deeply in love. Kangxi doted on Yini born to him and made him the crown prince. However, Yini was smart and studious, but colluded with Suo Etu and was finally abandoned by Kangxi.
Before the crown prince was deposed, another favored prince by Kangxi's side was the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, who later became Emperor Yongzheng's right-hand man. From the age of twelve to twenty-two, Kangxi took this precious son with him almost every time he went on a tour, and even let him go to Mount Tai alone to worship, showing his special attention. Yinxiang is not only talented, but also outstanding in poetry and songs, knows the art of war well, and even hunted tigers alone. His talent was supposed to make him expected to inherit the throne, however, he ended up becoming a member of the Four Masters Party, why?
First of all, Yinxiang is loyal and upright, and he is unwary of competing for his brother. Before the crown prince was deposed, he had always been a supporter of Yini and obeyed his words. This kind of performance fell into the eyes of the fourth brother and became an indispensable assistant, so after Yini was deposed, the fourth master took advantage of the situation to bring him under his command, and Yinxiang never considered inheriting the throne.
Secondly, Yinxiang inexplicably fell out of favor. Because of his close relationship with the abolished prince, Kangxi once imprisoned him for a period of time. Although Kangxi still took Yinxiang with him when he went out on patrol later, his trust in his princes was greatly reduced. After falling out of favor, although he was often cared about by Kangxi in life, he was not further promoted in power, and even did not get the title of Baylor, which was a great blow to Yinxiang.
In the end, Yinxiang has been in poor health. After the crown prince was deposed, his physical condition deteriorated rapidly, and the poisonous sores on his legs have not healed, and he is still unwell even after Yongzheng ascended the throne. Kangxi will not let those who are in poor health inherit the unification.
Despite his poor health, Yinxiang made important contributions to the Four Masters Party. The fourth master is not a party on the surface, but he secretly attracted many courtiers and firmly grasped the lifeblood of the eighth master's party, and the thirteenth elder brother also made a lot of meritorious achievements.
In short, after Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, Yinxiang became his right-hand man and dealt with many troublesome affairs. His sincere affection for Yongzheng is extremely rare in the royal family. Yinxiang gave up the opportunity to compete for the throne in exchange for a sincere brotherhood. The choice he gave up may have something to do with the influence of his fourth brother when he was a child.
The Kangxi Dynasty Struggle and the Prince's Choice: The Family Dispute Behind the Power Scheme" provides a profound picture of the complex situation of the power struggle within the Kangxi Dynasty, and the choices the princes made in the process. The article details the rise and fall of Yinxiang in the Kangxi Dynasty, and his eventual abandonment of the struggle for the throne in favor of the path of sincere brotherly affection.
During the Kangxi Dynasty, government affairs were clear and prosperous, and it was a prosperous period in Chinese history. However, the royal family is full of open and secret strife. This article reveals Yinxiang's role in the political arena of the Kangxi Dynasty. As the thirteenth elder brother, Yinxiang is favored by Kangxi, has outstanding talents, and is proficient in poetry and the art of war, and is a highly anticipated successor. However, he eventually chose to give up the struggle for the throne and instead devoted himself to the Four Masters Party.
The author conducts an in-depth analysis of Yinxiang's choice. First of all, Yinxiang's personality is straightforward and loyal, compared to his elder brother, he lacks political ambition and is unsuspecting of his brothers, and is finally regarded as his right-hand man by the fourth master. Second, Yinxiang's experience of falling out of favor caused him to lose some trust in Kangxi's eyes, and although he was still cared for, he did not get further promotion politically. In the end, health problems became an important reason why he could not inherit the throne, and Kangxi would not let those who were not in good health take on the throne.
This essay is a profound account of the Kangxi Dynasty's political struggles, intrigue, and brotherly feelings, showing a historical period full of drama and complexity. At the same time, it also triggered me to think about the choices of those neglected characters in history. In the political arena, personal choices are often influenced by many factors, including personality, trust, physical condition, etc. Yinxiang's choice may indicate a pursuit of personal destiny and family feelings, which is also worthy of our deep consideration in the long course of history.
