In 1722, the 44-year-old Yongzheng won the "Nine Sons Winning the Inheritance". After ascending the throne, he reused the thirteenth master Yinxiang to fight against the "Eight Masters Party". The eighth master Yinyu and the ninth master Yinyu were imprisoned to death, while the tenth master Yinyu and the fourteenth master Yinzhen lived to the Qianlong Dynasty.
The fourteenth master is Yongzheng's younger brother, and Yongzheng will not kill him in the face of his mother. However, why did Yongzheng let go of the tenth master?
Yin's maternal family is strong
Yin's biological mother is Wen Guifei Niu Hulu, her grandfather is the founding general of the Qing Dynasty, her father is Taishi Ji Bilong, her aunt is Huang Taiji's original wife Qing Taizong Yuanfei, and her sister is Kangxi's Empress Xiaozhaoren, and she herself is the only concubine with a nickname in the entire Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, Concubine Wen is also eligible to compete for the position of queen. At the beginning of Kangxi's ascension to the throne, in order to curb Aobai, Xiaozhuang let Kangxi marry the granddaughter of Shoufu Soni as the queen, and also married the daughter of Kubilong, Niu Hulu, as a side concubine.
Because only one queen could be canonized, and Sonny was the head of the four auxiliary ministers, Kangxi made Hesheri the queen.
Among Kangxi's many princes, in terms of the status of the biological mother, the tenth master is second only to the crown prince; Judging from the family and power of his relatives, the tenth master is taller than the prince. Therefore, with these advantages, even Kangxi treats the tenth master very preferentially.
When Kangxi sealed the princes before his death, Yongzheng and the eighth master were sealed Baylor for the first time. But Yin, who has no achievements and contributions, was the king of Dunjun for the first time, two levels higher than Yongzheng.
Moreover, Kangxi also attaches great importance to the marriage of the tenth master. The tenth master's concubine Fujin is the Aba Bolzigit clan, which is the same clan as the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and his successor Fujin is the niece of Empress Hesheri. Therefore, the mother and wife of the tenth master are really strong.
Yin joined the Eight Masters Party
The tenth master has a powerful background, but his personal ability is very ordinary, and he is recognized by everyone as a straw bag.
According to the records of Qing history, the eighth master Yinxi has been familiar with the world and history since he was a child; Jiuye Yinyu is not only good at mathematics, but also proficient in Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian and Tibetan languages; The two younger brothers, the thirteenth master and the fourteenth master, are also better than the tenth master's brains.
And the tenth master not only has average learning ability, but even the riding and archery project that the Manchurians are good at, he can't do it. If he has the ability of the eighth master and the fourth master, he will be the most powerful contender for the throne, and there will be a large number of powerful people willing to follow him.
However, the tenth master is very aware of his strengths and weaknesses. In this battle for succession, even if he has the blessing of his mother and wife, he is not able to sit on the throne, so it is better to find a backer and hold his thighs tightly. Since the eighth master took the initiative to win him over, then join the "eighth master party"!
The eighth master has no foreign relatives, and his biological mother, Concubine Liang, is the palace maid of Xinzheku. And the tenth master's relatives and background can just make up for the eighth master's bad background. In the "Eight Masters Party", the tenth master is the eighth master's little follower, and the forces behind the tenth master also follow the eighth master.
The tenth master's maternal uncle Alinga and cousin Arsonga both occupy a core position in the Eighth Master's party. Especially Ah Ling'a, after Kangxi abolished the crown prince, he also actively led the ministers to recommend the eighth master as the crown prince. In this battle for succession, the tenth master fully supported the eighth master.
Therefore, when the fourth master Yinzhen (Yongzheng) saw the strength behind the tenth master, he also began to be afraid of him. However, Kangxi has long been on guard against the eighth master, he said: "Yun Xi has not changed the matter, and his mother is also cheap, so it is better not to do it." This means that the eighth master's biological mother is too low to be a prince.
After the eighth master lost power, the tenth master did not leave the "eighth master party", because at this time, the fourteenth master suddenly received Kangxi's attention. Kangxi named him the general of Fuyuan, holding heavy troops, and this wave of operations made everyone think that the fourteenth master was the "pending crown prince". Therefore, the people of the "Eighth Master Party" went together to support the Fourteenth Master.
Yongzheng let Yin
Surprisingly, Siye Yongzheng became the heir to the throne. But the ministers of the court, and even Yongzheng's biological mother, suspected that Yongzheng was not in the right position, and they were unwilling to obey the new emperor. There are many Eight Masters who plan to conspire to put the Eighth Elder Brother on the throne.
In order to stabilize the throne, Yongzheng began to eradicate dissidents. Among these political enemies, the biggest opponent is the eighth master.
Yongzheng did not deal with the eighth master at the beginning, but first named him the king of Heshuo Lianqing and handled the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. After sitting on the throne, Yongzheng cut off his prince for various reasons, imprisoned him in the Zongren Mansion, and changed his name to ".Akina
In 1726, the eighth master died of vomiting in the forbidden place at the age of 45. However, the folk believe that the eighth master was poisoned. The ninth master and the eighth master also died in the forbidden place, but the tenth master lived to the Qianlong Dynasty.
According to historical records, Yongzheng convicted the tenth master of a very light crime, thinking that he was befriended by the eight masters and the ninth master. Obviously, Yongzheng intended to let go of the tenth master. The tenth master's mother and wife are strong, and Yongzheng does not dare to touch him.
Moreover, in Yongzheng's eyes, the tenth master has nothing to do, and he can't become a climate, except for his noble status, he is simply useless. Even if everyone is dissatisfied with Yongzheng, they will not have the idea of letting the tenth master replace them. With such a "straw bag", there is really no need to make trouble unpleasantly for him and those Eight Banner nobles.
The tenth master has been locked up by Yongzheng. In 1737, the second year of Qianlong, Qianlong issued an order to release him and named him an auxiliary prince. The tenth master was imprisoned for 13 years, probably because he was locked up for too long, and after he came out, he closed his door all day and did not communicate with others. Four years later, he died at the age of 59, and Qianlong buried him according to the gift of Beizi.
Compared with other brothers, the ending of the tenth master is not bad. After all, since ancient times, few of the Heavenly Family's imperial power struggles can end well.
To be honest, this is thanks to his "not smart" and the strong strength behind him. If these two things are the same, the tenth master will die. Perhaps, this is what the ancients said "fools have foolish blessings"!
