The son of Yongzheng, who is only 3 months old in Qianlong, why is he pretending to be crazy and stupid?
Ten perfect old people"Emperor Qianlong has a younger brother who is very interesting, this younger brother is a crazy person in the outside business world, he doesn't dare to hit the heavyweights in the palace, arrogant and domineering, and he has a special hobby, that is, he likes to do funerals, whether it is to do funerals for himself, he looks at the people around him crying, but he is a cold bystander He likes to laugh, when they are all crying, I laugh.
It's simply crazy and absurd, but it's not hard to see that behind the absurdity, there is a very smart person who is solving his own problems in this way, who is he? Qianlong's younger brother, three-month-old Hongli.
In Kangxi's later years, the struggle of the nine sons for the heir was very cruel, and finally the low-key and steady Yinzhen ascended the throne of the emperor, he was Emperor Yongzheng. And Emperor Yongzheng himself, the nine sons of the heir is also personally experienced, the victory is in hand, of course he knows the harm and **, so when Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne soon after establishing a new way to choose the heir, that is, the secret prince.
There are two copies of the "Prophecy of the Crown Prince" written by Emperor Yongzheng, one of which is placed in the Ganqing Palace"Splendid"On the plaque, the other copy was kept by himself, and when he died, the ministers of the court and the central government took the two copies of the prophecy to the new emperor, who was the successor of the next emperor Qianlong Hongli chosen by Yongzheng.
However, Hongli is not the eldest son of Emperor Yongzheng, but the fourth son of Emperor Yongzheng, and if you count the eldest son who died early, it is the fifth son. Emperor Yongzheng could not have more children than his father, Emperor Kangxi, but it could not have more than his son, Emperor Qianlong. To sum up, Emperor Yongzheng had ten sons and four princesses, but many of them died in childhood, so as far as sons are concerned, four sons are not on the list.
Yongzheng's sons are: the eldest son Honghui, the second son Hongyun, the third son Hongshi, the fourth son Hongli, the fifth son Hongri, and the sixth son Hongzhi. It is worth noting that the three sons and one daughter born to the emperor's concubine Nian Qianyao all died young.
Of the six sons, the eldest and second died young, one less than ten years old and the other less than ten years old. Therefore, Emperor Yongzheng only chose Hongshi, Hongli, Hongday and Hongyi, and Hongshi was the eldest son of Yongzheng Dynasty, and Emperor Yongzheng secretly established a prince, and when Hongshi was 20 years old, Yongzheng bypassed Hongshi and only chose Hongli at the age of 13.
This is even more interesting, in fact, Emperor Yongzheng has this choice is also due to the incident of the nine sons seizing the heir, in this incident, the henchman of his son Hongshi's growth does not seem to be the father of Emperor Yongzheng, but Yinzhen.
On the contrary, although Hongli in Kangxi's later years was only a child of about ten years old, his intelligence and wit allowed Emperor Kangxi to get in touch with him in another way and allow him to enter the palace to study, although it did not directly help Emperor Yongzheng, but it became a priority point for Emperor Yongzheng. Therefore, the choice of Emperor Yongzheng is very understandable.
Because Hongshi has no henchmen with him, he didn't expect this son to inherit his position, and when Hongshi noticed Emperor Yongzheng's thoughts about Hongli, the brothers intended to fight, and at this time he was more interested in Yinzhen, which of course angered Emperor Yongzheng, Hongshi directly cut his son Yinzhen, and also cut his clan, completely cutting off the possibility of seizing the heir, and Hongshi also died in Yongzheng five years of depression! And die.
After Hongshi's death, the Yongzheng Dynasty perished, and there was no longer a prince competing for the throne with Hongli, not because Yongzheng's other sons were gone, in fact, Yongzheng died earlier, and he still had three sons alive, in addition to Hongli, there were Hongshi and Hongli, Hongshi was young, and he was only three years old when Emperor Yongzheng died, of course, he couldn't compete for the throne, which is likely to be conducive to Hongli competing for the throne of Hongli.
Hongdan is only three months younger than Hongli, the two grew up together, enlightened together for nine years, Emperor Yongzheng is still teaching the two of them in Agarwood, he asked the teacher to teach the two to read, it can be said that the starting point of the two is the same, they are all ordinary people of Emperor Yongzheng, the only difference of three months is age, so Hongdan is very clear that he is a threat to Hongli.
It's just that he never thought of sitting in this position, and he didn't want to compete with Hongli, so he had nothing to do except the task given to him by Emperor Yongzheng, and often ate, drank and had fun to reduce his sense of existence, until Hongli succeeded, he had the slightest idea of competing for the prince's heart.
But the royal business, you will not fight, others will think that you do not fight, the most ruthless royal family, regardless of whether to fight for the prince or not, except for winning, the rest is really difficult to get out, and Hongli's prejudice wants to be done in a healthy way.
Only self-defilement can lead to a good death. Since he replaced Hongli Yunli, Qianlong's real life brother is only Hongli, it is impossible not to use him, let him be an official, Hongli understands this very well, the interesting thing is that he never makes mistakes, he does things very measured, but when he does things outside, he is like a different person, relying on himself to be Qianlong's only younger brother, arrogant and domineering.
Once, he wrote the poem "Drinking Gold Bottles" to express his wishes, and the full poem is as follows.
The world is impermanent, and Jin Zhulang is drunk with a red dust cup. It is rare to have a bosom friend in life, talking about the vicissitudes of the past and the present.
But it is not enough to say that he will not practice, he must prove with practical actions that he does not pose the slightest threat to Qianlong.
Once he had a dispute with Shang Shu of the Ministry of War in the court, which was not a big deal, but in front of Qianlong on the first day of Hong Day, even in front of Qianlong, hundreds of officials beat his relatives, he saw Qianlong, angry and ridiculous, but Qianlong neither stopped nor punished this little brother.
Hongday's arrogance and ** made Qianlong very happy, although Hongday is talented, but it is difficult for arrogant **, extravagant and wasteful people to get the support of courtiers, Qianlong knows, Hongday also knows, so Qianlong has always let this younger brother do whatever he wants.
Sometimes he would also punish the brothers, such as Hongli and Hongxi went directly to see the Empress Dowager Cixi and knelt on the eunuch's chair, which was a special situation for Qianlong, and he used"Borrow the gift of illusion"punished his two younger brothers, and Hongli was sentenced to three years' wages.
There are many examples of Emperor Hong Tian's arrogance and domineering, but these are considered normal, isn't this arrogance and domineering? Many emperors can do this, but they are not in the same realm as Hong Yitian, who even likes to talk about funerals:'People don't die for a hundred years, how can they talk about ridicule?
You know, for most people, death is a very taboo topic, but Hong Dai is not taboo, he even held a funeral for himself at home, asking his family to pay tribute to those who wept for him, while he himself watched happily while drinking wine in the company of the pendus, elephant tripods and a plate of jade placed in front of the bed.
This is really a bad taste, which can only be described as crazy, so Hongdan did not look down on Qianlong, but was too much loved by Qianlong, Hongdan's brilliance can be seen, and the rare brotherhood between the two brothers arises spontaneously.
Hong Dai did not live as long as Qianlong, but also lived more than 60 years old, after his death, his descendants basically inherited his way of life, simple, cautious, do not compete with others, very low-key, so most of Hong Dai's descendants in history obscurity, just silently do their own things, Mr. Qi Gong, a famous modern Chinese calligrapher and painter, is the eighth generation of Hong Dai's descendants.
When he was young, Pu Liang's great-grandfather demanded that he be stripped of his title, rank, and insignia. He studied hard, and later passed the imperial examination, became a Shujishi, and entered the Hanlin Academy. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he did not want to engage in politics in the capital, but moved his family to settle in Yi County, Hebei, when Mr. Qigong was already three or four years old.
Mr. Qi Gong is a simple and humble person. He always to:"The surname is Qigong"self-styled and never mentioned his identity as the ninth grandson of Yongzheng, which is not common among ordinary people. Mr. Qigong has many titles, but his favorite identity is teacher, so he can be seen as a representative of the teaching profession.
