Today, I will present you with a thrilling and exciting historical legend - the "Nine Sons Seizing the Inheritance" incident during the Kangxi period. This is not only a royal dispute, but also a battle full of wisdom and strategy. In this whirlpool of power schemes, Emperor Kangxi skillfully manipulated the situation, turned around and led this storm of power plots to a surprising end.
1.Background: The great changes in the Kangxi era.
Let's travel back to 1708 AD, the Kangxi era. There was turmoil within the royal family, and the crown prince Yinren was deposed as the crown prince because of a series of mistakes. This decision set off a bloody battle between the nine princes for the succession. Imagine that the nine princes are like pawns on a chessboard, vying for the supreme throne.
2.Princely Rivalry: Clash of Tricks and Betrayal.
The eighth elder brother Yinyu became the most radical one in this battle. He offered to get rid of his younger brother for his father, and he just wanted to remove the stumbling block in his eyes. However, Emperor Kangxi's Mingjian saw through his intentions at a glance, believing that he did not hesitate to betray his brotherhood for personal gain.
3.The Wise Man's Choice: Emperor Kangxi's ingenious scheme.
The key to Kangxi's battle of the wise man lies in his ingenious layout. He removed Ling Pu, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and let Yinhe take over, so as to observe his level of handling government affairs. However, Yinhe seemed hesitant in the face of illegal acts, and deliberately covered up in order to curry favor with ***, which made Emperor Kangxi see his true nature.
4.Dark Tide Surging: Yinxi's power and loss of power.
Yinhe is not the only prince who has lost the true face of Lushan in this battle of the wise. Yinxi, who was originally thought to support the abolition of the crown prince, lost his qualification as a prince because of excessive selfishness. He once found a charlatan warlock in an attempt to win support with his power, but was finally punished by his father.
5.Kangxi's vision: The truth of Yinxi is revealed.
Emperor Kangxi's temptation of the princes was not only limited to political means, but also included an understanding of their personal character. He found that Yinxi used various means to win over ministers and tried to win support through power schemes, which made Kangxi see that he was a person who disregarded his loyalty and conscience and only sought his own selfish interests.
