Those who know the history of the Qing Dynasty know that the eighth son of the emperor Yunren is the biggest enemy on the road to Yongzheng's succession, after the crown prince Yunren was deposed and the emperor's eldest son Yunren was imprisoned, Yongzheng officially participated in the battle for the nine sons, and in the next ten years of succession, Yongzheng and Yunzheng fought in secret, and finally sat on the throne.
Yun Xi's biological mother is the good concubine Wei who was born in Xin Zheku, because Wei's background is relatively low, even if she gave birth to Yun Xi, she was not named the lord of the first palace, until the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi, Yun Xi was named Baylor two years after Wei was named a concubine. Therefore, Yun Xi could not stay with his biological mother, and was sent to the palace of Hui Concubine Na Lashi (Yinyu's biological mother) to be raised by Concubine Hui, and when Yun Xi was older, he was sent to the palace of Empress Tong Jiashi of Xiao Yiren and raised by Empress Xiao Yiren (Yongzheng's adoptive mother, the third queen of Kangxi).
Yun Xi has been very smart since he was a child, and he understands the world very well, and he is very easy-going in dealing with people and things.
Since Yun Xi was 6 years old, he began to study in the study, learned Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese and other languages, was familiar with the scriptures and history, and was also very good at riding and archery.
Kangxi also likes Yun Xi very much, and was named Baylor when Yun Xi was only 17 years old, and when Yun Xi was canonized Baylor, he was the youngest of the princes to be knighted. With the title means that there is a person, and there is the qualification to participate in the government affairs, Kangxi also deliberately gave Yun Xi the opportunity to experience, Yun Xi successively managed the Guangshang Treasury, rebuilt the Dai Temple, the Internal Affairs Office and so on.
The ministers of the court and the central government all spoke highly of Yun Xi, although Yun Xi was not named a prince, or even a county king, but Yun Xi was known as the "Eight Wise Kings", and his prestige in the court was extremely high. Because of this, Yun Yu was also the prince who participated in the succession earlier, and after Yun Ren was deposed as the crown prince, Yun Xi couldn't hold back and began to compete for the crown prince.
Even Yun Xi also asked Zhang Mingde to meet him, and Zhang Mingde called Yun Xi "unspeakably expensive"!
Zhang Mingde's words can be seen Yunxi's ambition.
For this reason, Kangxi's impression of Yun Yu became worse and worse, and even after the emperor's eldest son Yun Yu (Zhen Wei Prince Yun Ren) was imprisoned, Yun Yu was also imprisoned on the charge of "vainly killing the prince". The three princes were imprisoned one after another, so that Kangxi realized that he had to fill the position of the prince. But Kangxi actually still belongs to Yunren in his heart, but he can't "change the order every day". So Kangxi issued an order to ask the ministers to recommend a candidate for the new prince.
Although Yun Xi was imprisoned, most of the ministers of the DPRK and China still supported Yun Xi as the new crown prince, including the university scholar Ma Qi, Kangxi's uncle Tong Guowei, the son of Ji Bilong, Alinga, and Nalan Mingzhu's son Nalan Fang. But Kangxi directly refused on the grounds that "Yun Xi was born to a cheap slave in Xin's library".
But Yun Yu still does not give up, and has been trying all kinds of ways to compete for the position of crown prince.
In November of the fifty-third year of Kangxi, Yun Xi sent a "dying eagle" to Kangxi, and Kangxi was furious; Since then, Yun Yu has completely lost the hope of competing for the prince, and Yun Yu is also very aware of his situation, so the Eight Masters Party turned to support Yun Yu, the fourteenth son of the emperor born to Concubine Wu Ya, to take the heir. Although the fourteenth son of the emperor Yunyu is Yongzheng's half-brother, he does not support Yongzheng, but has a very good relationship with Yunzheng and others.
The outcome of history is very clear to everyone: Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor, succeeded in seizing the throne and ascended the throne, and Yinzhen was the most diligent emperor of the Qing Dynasty. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, although he named Yun Xi as Prince Heshuo Lian and appointed him as the minister in charge of affairs, he has been trying all kinds of ways to get rid of Yun Xi. In the fourth year of Yongzheng, Yun Yu was confined in a forbidden place, renamed "Aqina", and died soon after.
Although Yun Xi is the prince, but in fact there is only one concubine Fujin, two concubines, and the two concubines gave birth to a son and a daughter, precisely because Yun Xi only has few heirs, Kangxi is very dissatisfied with his concubine Guo Luo Luo, saying that Guo Luo Luo is "jealous". As for why Yun Xi only has one son, we will not delve into it for the time beingLet's take a look at this article, after Yun Yu failed to win the heir and died in captivity, what happened to his only son? Did his descendants still do anything in the Qing Dynasty?
Yunxi's only son Hongwang was born to the concubine Zhang, born in the first month of the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, and many things happened in the court in the year Hongwang was born: the crown prince was abolished, the eldest son of the emperor was imprisoned, and his father, the eighth son of the emperor, was also imprisoned. It can be said that Hongwang had to participate in the "Nine Sons Winning the Inheritance" since he was born.
In the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi, when Hongwang was 10 years old, Kangxi allowed his grandson to walk in the inner court.
In the sixty-first year of Kangxi, Hongwang was 15 years old and was awarded the title of Baylor.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, in the third year of Yongzheng, Hongwang was 18 years old and began to study the affairs of the Ministry of Industry with his father Yunxi.
Although after his uncle Yongzheng ascended the throne, his parents had to live a frightened life, but as the son of Tianhuang nobleman and Prince Lian, he lived a very rich life since he was a child, so even if his father Yunxi was imprisoned and died, and he was also sent to Rehe to fill the army, he still maintained his habit as a nobleman.
In the fourth year of Yongzheng, Yun Yu was imprisoned, cut off his clan registration, and changed his name to "Aqina"; And Hongwang, as the son of Yun Xi, was naturally expelled from the clan. After Yun Yu was imprisoned, he renamed his son "Bodhisattva Bao", hoping that his only son could be protected by the Bodhisattva and be able to survive the disaster and die a good death.
Immediately afterwards, Yongzheng sent Hongwang to Rehe to fill the army, although it was a full army, but Hongwang did not go alone, his biological mother Zhang, his wife and concubine and son all followed. After Hongwang went to Rehe, he settled in Rehe. At Rehe's home, Hongwang didn't need to work by himself to support his family, and Yongzheng kept some domestic slaves for him, a total of 21 people.
And these people have been in the Eight Masters Mansion for many years, although the Eight Masters Mansion has declined, but they are still loyal to Hongwang.
And fortunately, He Yi, the governor of Rehe, is an old minister of the Kangxi Dynasty, so naturally he will not deliberately embarrass Kangxi's grandson.
Therefore, although Hongwang is a full army, he lived a relatively comfortable life in Rehe at the beginning; And Hongwang's second son, Su Ying'e, was born at this time.
However, Hongwang's good days did not last long, in the sixth year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng ordered Hongwang to be locked up with nine chains, and sent troops to guard it in turn. And the reason why Hongwang ended up like this is becauseHongwang assaulted **ï¼›What's going on here?
In the first month of the sixth year of Yongzheng, the thousand total of Rehe PalaceChen JingWhen he rode into the city, he was punched and kicked by Hongwang, and Chen Jing's clothes and Su Zhu were torn. This was originally a very simple case, and Yongzheng could punish Hongwang with a small punishment and a big commandment.
But this case is not so simple, according to the prelude of the governor of Zhili: there are a total of three thousand people in Hetun outside the mouth and nine in total, all of whom were during the Kangxi Dynasty when Kangxi abolished the three feudatoriesThe former genus of the three feudatoriesAfter the rebellion of the three feudal lords, the former subordinates of these feudal lords were incorporated into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and many of them were considered traitors, and future generations could not get rid of such an identity.
And Chen Jing is such an identity, what Chen Jing didn't expect was that he would be ridiculed by Hongwang.
After this case occurred, some ** Shangshu Yongzheng in the DPRK executed Hongwang, and Hongwang's family was handed over to his subordinate to be restrained. Yongzheng did not implicate Hongwang's family, but just locked Hongwang with nine chains and sent people to guard him day and night.
However, Hongwang's life in captivity is not sad, thanks to Hongwang's worship of four brothers with different surnames:
Born in Manchuria, 19-year-old Guanyin Bao.
Born in Manchuria, 18-year-old Da Chong'a.
Born in Manchuria under the White Flag, 18-year-old Bai Qitu.
Born in Manchuria with a yellow flag, 17-year-old Errent.
Among these four sworn brothers, Hongwang has the closest contact with Da Chong'a and Guanyin Bao, and as for Bai Qitu and Erluntu, they are all because of Guanyin Bao and Da Chong'a, so they worship with Hongwang. According to Errent: He didn't know Hongwang's special identity before he worshipped, and Da Chonga worshipped Hongwang because he had long known that Hongwang (who had been renamed Bodhisattva Bao at this time) was Yongzheng's nephew, just for the sake of future glory and wealth.
Because although Hongwang has been demoted to armor (ordinary soldiers) and assigned to Rehe, he still has illusions about his uncle Yongzheng, and said to his sworn brothers: If the emperor releases me, I may be named Baylor when I return to the capital, or even the prince, if it really comes time, I must take you (righteous brothers) to the capital, so that you can enjoy the glory and wealth.
How can Da Chong'a, who wants glory and wealth, not be tempted?
In fact, the reason why Hongwang said this to his sworn brothers was also related to his state of mind at the time
Hongwang, as Kangxi's grandson and the son of Prince Lian, was a Tianhuang nobleman before he was assigned to Rehe; Even in Rehe, he is already in armor, but he still hopes that the people around him can respect him. It is not so much that Hongwang still has a glimmer of hope for his uncle and restores his identity as a child of the clan, but rather to let the people around him have confidence in him, especially a few sworn brothers who guard him, and be able to treat himself better in real life.
Hongwang's mentality is also related to the environment in which he is confined:
Da Chong'a removed the chains for Hongwang, and the soldiers who took turns saw it but ignored it. Even the head of Rehe turned a blind eye to Da Chong'a's move and did not pursue it, which is indeed compared with Yunzhi and Yinyu, who were imprisoned in Jingshan, Hongwang's captive life is indeed very easy. So much so that when Hongwang was recalled by Yongzheng to the capital and confined, there was a saying in Rehe:
Hongwang was not only given a yellow belt, but also was given the title of Baylor and held the post of Minister of Mausoleum.
Because in the eyes of these people, Hongwang is not a heinous sinner, but Yongzheng is just punishing him.
In this way, it is naturally inconsistent with Yongzheng's original intention.
Hongwang's house slave bought all the things used for worship, and the five of them worshipped together.
In February of this year, Hongwang married Erlunte and Da Chong'a again, just like Guan Yu, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei in the Taoyuan Three Knots. After this worship, Hongwang regarded Erlunt and Da Chonga as his confidants.
It is precisely because of these sworn brothers that Hongwang's life in captivity is not so sad.
Da Chong'a privately removed the chains around Hongwang's neck, on his legs, and on his hands, so that Hongwang would no longer be shackled in the forbidden place. At this time, although Hongwang is not free, he does not need to be chained every day, and Hongwang will often let Da Chonga go to his home to greet his family, and even Hongwang will go home to live.
This is obviously completely different from the original intention of Yongzheng to ban Hongwang, and in June of the eighth year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng ordered Hongwang to go to the capital to ban him. On the way back to the capital, Hongwang carried pen and ink, and did not look like a prisoner at all.
After returning to the capital, Hongwang was confined in Jingshan. It is worth mentioning that Jingshan was also imprisoned, as well as Hongwang's third uncle, Prince Cheng Yunzhi, and the fourteenth uncle Yunyu. The days when he was confined in the capital were naturally not as easy as in Rehe, after all, he was under Yongzheng's nose. In the forbidden house, the gate is closed, all the doors and windows are sealed, and only one hole is left to deliver food to Hongwang every day.
As for Hongwang's house slaves, Yongzheng no longer allowed him to keep them, and all of them were exiled.
However, Hongwang is no longer chained on his body, but Hongwang's life in the Jingshan Forbidden House is really boring, so he can only play with pen and ink to pass the time, and he also wrote the names of several of his sworn brothers on paper. Unexpectedly, the paper written by Hongwang was obtained by the guards of Hongwang, so Yongzheng ordered the Internal Affairs Office to arrest all the four righteous brothers of Hongwang to the capital for interrogation.
Da Chong'a couldn't stand the punishment, so he told the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Hongwang wanted to flee to Inner Mongolia, the territory of King Tashi, because there were many people from Shanxi in Shandong doing business, and if he could escape there, he would settle down.
And the reason why Hongwang has the idea of wanting to escape is also because he has less and less hope for his uncle Yongzheng to restore his status as a child of the clan
Yongzheng treats Hongwang much more tolerant than Yuntang's children and grandchildren, Yongzheng renames Yuntang's children and grandchildren, but does not do this to Hongwang; Or maybe it's because Hongwang and his uncle Yongzheng have a good personal relationship, so Yongzheng is extraordinarily generous to Hongwang, and Hongwang has a glimmer of hope for his uncle Yongzheng.
However, as time went by, Hongwang's hope became more and more slim, and he even wanted to escape.
After the case was heard clearly, Yongzheng once again chained Hongwang; The four sworn brothers who swore to Hongwang were severely discussed by the Criminal Department on how to deal with them, and it is unknown what the result was.
The reason why Yongzheng was so angry and chained Hongwang again was really because Hongwang wanted to escape?
In fact, the reason is not so simple, but because of the place where Hongwang wants to flee: the realm of King Tashi.
The "King of Tashi" mentioned by Dachong'a refers to Tashi, who died in the 42nd year of Kangxi, and was the king of Zasak County, the right-wing of Karaqin. The Karaqin Ranch is relatively close to Rehe, where there are a lot of Han immigrants, and Hongwang's desire to flee here makes Yongzheng think a lot: Could it be that Hongwang has a rebellious heart?
The eighth year of Yongzheng happened to be the time when Yongzheng used troops against Dzungaria, and the Karaqin Department and the Aixin Jueluo family had frequent marriages, and Yunzhi and Yunyu of Jingshan were encircled together with Hongwang, and their daughters were married to the Karaqin Department as daughters-in-law, what is Hongwang's intention to escape to the Karaqin Department?
The Hongwang case is not only implicated by the four brothers who Hongwang worshipped when he was in Rehe, but also:
The communication, who was responsible for escorting Hongwang to the capital, was a brother to the Minister of the Interior, Foren, who was in charge of guarding Hongwang when he was in Rehe.
And Rehe's chief He Yi was dismissed for not knowing Hongwang's desire to escape in advance.
In the eighth year of Yongzheng, Hongwang's father Yunxi had passed away for four years, but Yongzheng did not relax at all about Hongwang and his family; It can be seen how much Yongzheng hates Yun Xi.
After Yongzheng died of illness in the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, Emperor Qianlong succeeded to the throne and convened the ministers of civil and military affairs to discuss how to deal with the descendants of "Aqina" and "Seth Hei" (Yuntang); Two months later, Hongwang finally regained his freedom, restored his real name Hongwang, and was recounted as Zongmu and tied with a red belt. In addition, his cousin Qianlong also gave Hongwang 8 slaves and 20 houses, so that Hongwang's family could make a living.
Although Hongwang ended his life in captivity, he was never reused by the imperial court.
And in the seventh year of Qianlong, he was reprimanded by Qianlong for being despicable and disregarding face. Why was Qianlong so angry with Hongwang?
Hongwang has the appearance of his father Yunxi's "Eight Sages King", coupled with seven years of captive life, so that Hongwang slowly has no noble shelf, and is willing to interact with the ministers of the court and the palace guards as equals; even stayed overnight outside Chaoyang Gate, Hongwang's move was just a stammering person in Qianlong's eyes, so Qianlong said that Hongwang was "despicable".
And Hongwang was implicated by Hongwang's seventeenth uncle Zhuang Prince Yunlu and twelfth uncle Yunlu, Qianlong thought that Yunlu and Yunlu were Hongwang's elders, but they did not discipline Hongwang; even turned a blind eye to his "despicable acts", and Yunlu and Yunlu were reprimanded by Qianlong for this.
Although Hongwang did not enter the office, many of his descendants entered the court as officials, and even got the emperor's reuse:
Hongwang's third son, Yongming, Qianlong entered the office in the 55th year as a pen post and did it step by stepCaptain of the Guarda position, and died at the age of 84;
It is precisely because Yongming entered the government and achieved the position of the minister of the guard, so his son was also able to enter the court as an official, especially the eldest son of YongmingMiansen: Daoguang entered the office as a pen post for ten years, and Daoguang once achieved the positions of the squire of the Shengjing Criminal Department, the left squire of the Li Fan Yuan, and the deputy commander of the Han Army with white flags; Xianfeng was not only rewarded with horseback riding in the Forbidden City, but also achieved the position of Shangshu; And in the endThe identity of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is managed by the chief patriarch of the white flag
Tongzhi died of illness in seven years and died at the age of 73.
has always been "the king and the loser", Hongwang, as the son of Yunxi, who failed to win the heir, will naturally be implicated. But in fact, Yongzheng treats Hongwang more tolerant than Yuntang's descendants, Yuntang's descendants were not only renamed, but Yuntang's first son, Hongyang, was imprisoned for more than 50 years, until Qianlong 43 years to regain freedom, Qianlong died of illness in 52 years.
And Hongwang's descendants are not only able to enter the office, but also have people who are members of the imperial court, which is actually related to Yongzheng's attitude towards Hongwang, after all, Yongzheng hates Yun Xi again, and he has not done too much to his son Hongwang. Hongwang was imprisoned for 7 years before regaining his freedom.
