The old thirteenth Jin was crowned the prince, instantly rejuvenated, and quickly played the role of vice emperor
Throughout the ages, some characters have become legends with their unique experiences and incredible transformations. Old Thirteen used to be a dull man, but when there was an opportunity to promote him to the crown prince, he immediately resembled a sleeping pearl, radiant and energetic. What was the turning point of this promotion, which allowed the old thirteen to return to the stage of history and immediately serve as vice emperor?
At this dramatic moment in history, how has the fate of the thirteenth changed? How did his ascension to the throne become the starting point of his journey to the pinnacle of power and intrigue? How did a once-shadow figure quickly become a key figure in the battle for the throne?
i.Abandonment and peer support for young children in distress.
Yinxiang didn't get any benefits as soon as he was born, and his mother Zhang Jia was only from the Baoyi Army and had a very low status. The poor child was given to the Wuya Consortium to raise, while his half-brother Yongzheng did not receive any maternal love in this cold palace.
As subjects of the empire, they were supposed to be pampered by all, but these two poor children were like abandoned children. Their mothers were too humble to raise them personally, and the people who raised them were not kind to them.
When Yongzheng was 11 years old, he finally returned to his biological mother, his wife Deshi. Unexpectedly, his wife, Deshi, sent his youngest brother Yinxiang directly to him and confided her concerns to him. This change made Yongzheng disappointed and angry. Not only did he not get his mother's love, but he also had to take care of his younger brother who was waiting to be fed.
But surprisingly, Yongzheng did not leave Yinxiang. As a well-educated prince, he knew that this was his responsibility as an eldest brother. On the other hand, his younger brother had a similar experience to him and was also abandoned by his relatives. Such a tragic fate made Yongzheng feel sympathy.
Therefore, Yongzheng raised Yinxiang as his own child. Although young and ignorant, he fulfilled his brother's responsibilities. As the years passed, their feelings grew.
When he was 14 years old, Yinxiang's biological mother died, and his only blood relative also left him. For a boy who has just entered puberty, this blow is undoubtedly overwhelming. Fortunately, Yinxiang's brothers who are sympathetic to him are Yongzheng. In the following days, whether it was reading and practicing martial arts, or daily communication, Emperor Yongzheng was inseparable from the smart and diligent Yinxiang.
The second is to help Yongzheng seize the throne.
Seeing that the day of Kangxi's death was inevitable, the crown prince was removed again and again, and the crown prince was bleak. The best at it"Be a demon"Yongzheng did not hesitate to run all over the world for the throne and seek the hearts of the people.
Yinxiang couldn't bear to let his eldest brother's ambition be frustrated. He decided to help the fourth elder brother. So, he stretched out his legs and ran around to support Yongzheng. This bold and reckless behavior not only angered the former emperor, but also caused strife in the court.
Kangxi was furious and immediately put this kind-hearted child under house arrest. Kangxi also forced Yinxiang to confess in order to find out the culprit. In the face of the emperor's interrogation, Yinxiang, who was only 20 years old, resolutely took all the mistakes on himself, and did not even help Yongzheng at all. With his courage and boldness, he persuaded the crowd.
As a result, Yinxiang was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, and spent the most glorious years of his life in a cage all day long. Outside, the spring flowers are blooming, but he can only look at the sky day and night.
After realizing this, Yongzheng secretly blamed himself in his heart. He realizes that his brother has been blinded by his own greed. An honest young man, such hard-earned money, is really distressing. But Yongzheng is a prince after all, and his power is limited, so he can't help for the time being.
Third, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, Yinxiang came to the position of the final ruler.
In 1722, after many delicate surgeries, Yongzheng finally climbed onto the dragon chair he had longed for.
When he finally comes to power, he first wants to save his beloved Yinxiang. So, he immediately appointed Yinxiang as the crown prince and was in charge of the household department - in fact, the financial power. One can imagine how happy and moved Yinxiang was when he saw the light of day again.
In his later years, Yongzheng had no feelings for Yinxiang. not only scraped the bones to cure the poison in the basic operation, but also made an exception to let the concubine whose biological father was buried next to Kangxi become Yinxiang's mother after Kangxi's death; even allowed his children to land military power in the name of Yinxiang as his mother. Some say it is"Horses are hard to chase, but beloved sons have foals", which really shocked the palace.
Later, Yinxiang was appointed Minister of the Imperial Mission, and it can be said that he was the most important person with military power, strength, and economic power. There is a saying that Yongzheng had a close relationship with his relatives, but according to the emperor, this was a reward for Yinxiang, and there was no change in the slightest.
Whenever he encounters a political problem, Yongzheng must first seek Yinxiang's opinion. He even hoped that the two would be buried together to show that they were friends of life and death.
Fourth, an old man killed thirteen people, Yongzheng remembered bittersweet.
In 1730, Yinxiang died of illness at the age of 46. This bad news made Yongzheng grief. He not only personally presided over Yinxiang's funeral, but also made an exception after Yinxiang's death in order to emphasize Yinxiang's excellent qualities"Virtuous"Two words.
What's even more surprising is that Yongzheng insisted on burying Yinxiang on the side of his mausoleum. He ignored the authorities' objections and warnings. Until Yinxiang's son knelt down and begged him.
However, Yongzheng Yinxiang still allowed people to challenge the system, which was taboo in dynastic politics. It can be said that this is extremely rare in the history of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, this touching brotherhood and friendship will also cause discussion and sideways attention in later generations.
People are terrible, is Yongzheng's move out of brotherly love? Does he have ulterior motives? Let's wait for the day when all the doubts that have shrouded us for a hundred years will dissipate.
Yongzheng and Yinxiang, the joys, sorrows and sorrows of a lifetime.
We must admit that these two sincere members of the royal family have established a rare brotherhood in this cold court.
From their abandoned childhoods, they supported each other; They fought side by side until they were in the prime of life, and they were successful and beneficial to all generations. Yongzheng's feelings for Lao Thirteen surpassed the love of monarchs and brothers. Yinxiang's loyalty to Yongzheng is by no means just the result of court friendship.
They are in the same boat through thick and thin, and their hearts are the same. Yongzheng's decision to make an exception for the old thirteen is the crystallization of this affection.
In this deeply touching court romance, we see more than just political support and love. Beneath the surface, there are two hearts that have been broken by the cold world, finding solace in each other's perseverance.
Yinxiang's death took away the softest part of Yongzheng's heart. In the time that followed, the Ming ruler still managed the country in good order, but he could not turn back.
This is the bond between Yongzheng and Yinxiang, the true meaning of life. Perhaps it is precisely because it is difficult to achieve that we will be happy for a hundred years.
