CaptivityYear, is Big Brother boring? Just look at the number of births.
The throne has been a dream in people's hearts since ancient times, and sitting on this chair means that you will be the leader of the whole world, and all must obey your commands.
In the face of such a huge amount of power**, how many people can not be moved?
Nine sons take the heir"This famous battle for the throne in the history of the Qing Dynasty is undoubtedly shocking. This battle for the throne, triggered by 9 of the 24 sons of Emperor Kangxi, has gone through trials and tribulations, and many people have been involved.
In the end, this fierce battle ended with the victory of the fourth prince, Aixin Jueluo Yinzhen. "Nine sons take the heir"The incident is well known to many, and each of the princes involved in it has a distinct personality and leaves a deep impression on people.
However, among the many illustrious princes, there is one prince who does not seem so remarkable.
Aixin Jueluo Yinchu, the eldest prince, but he was not favored by Emperor Kangxi, and he often felt depressed. In the Nine Sons Succession, he became the first victim, was confined to the palace walls, and lost the qualification to compete for the throne.
However, he did not give up, devoted himself to the royal branching, and became the prince with the most heirs among Kangxi's children. So, what is his life experience? How will he spend the rest of his life?
Please see below to reveal the early experience and second half of Yinchu's life.
Although Emperor Kangxi had four princes before Yinchu was born, none of them grew up healthily. It is for this reason that Yinchu can firmly sit in the position of the eldest son of the emperor.
Although he was in a high position, he understood that he was a concubine, and the other princes were also very good. If his talents are inferior to theirs, then he will not be able to obtain the throne.
Therefore, Yinchu cannot think highly of himself because he is the eldest son of the emperor, but should work harder to get the approval of Emperor Kangxi. Only then will he have a chance to inherit the throne.
In TV dramas, Yinchu's character is often portrayed as mediocre, but this is not the case. In fact, Yinchu was a talented all-rounder in both literature and martial arts, and excelled in both literature and martial arts.
He also has his own unique views on the handling of government affairs and is an all-round talent. Yinchu's appearance is also often appreciated by others, and he was praised by ministers as cute and smart when he was a child.
When he grew up, he became a humble gentleman who was in the wind and showed talents. He was witty and intelligent, good at handling interpersonal relationships, and established his prestige in the imperial court, which was loved and admired by the people.
Therefore, Emperor Kangxi was very important to him.
In 1690 and 1696, Yinchu followed the Kangxi Emperor on two expeditions to Erlute Mongol Galdan. At the age of 27, Kangxi named him the king of Doluo Zhijun, and at this age, he could get such a heavy reward and have the opportunity to follow the emperor in person, which is not a precious opportunity for everyone.
All this shows that Kangxi's appreciation of Yinchu is beginning to take shape. If Yinchu can always maintain the emperor's appreciation, then with his status as the emperor's eldest son, it is very likely that he will inherit the throne in the future.
However, the road to the throne was not all smooth sailing, as the saying goes: "A companion is like a tiger". It is not easy to gain the emperor's appreciation, and it is even more difficult to keep the emperor's weight.
Emperor Kangxi initially had high hopes for Yinchu, but Yinchu's various stupid behaviors eventually hurt Emperor Kangxi's heart. Since then, Yinchu has not been able to compete for the throne.
Despite his talent, the question of his origin has always been a pain in his heart. His mother, Concubine Hui, was just an ordinary concubine in the palace, and she couldn't compare with the mother of the second prince Yinren, the most noble queen in the palace.
Although Yinren was born after Yinren, their origins are very different. As the eldest son of the queen, Yinren is the best choice for the crown prince both emotionally and rationally.
Resentment and ambition: The story of Yinren and Yinren"Yinren's decision to be canonized as the crown prince deeply pierced Yinren's heart. He understands that Yinren, as the son of the concubine and the queen, is inevitable to become the crown prince.
However, there was still a knot in his heart. He has always dreamed of taking Yinren's place and becoming the rightful heir to the throne. While it's good to have high ambitions, if your ambitions outstrip your abilities, you'll get yourself in trouble.
A good example of this is Yinchu's experience of setting traps and harming people in order to achieve his goals, but these actions eventually became a stumbling block to his success. Even if you have outstanding abilities, too much overt ambition can become a stumbling block for yourself.
The ability of the crown prince Yinren has always worried Emperor Kangxi, especially among the many princes, his performance is particularly mediocre. However, Emperor Kangxi saw an opportunity from this, that is, his fourth son Yinchu.
Yinchu's ambition and ambition made Emperor Kangxi firmly believe that he had the ability to become a better person. In order to temper Yinchu, Emperor Kangxi gave him many opportunities for important government decisions, and he did not disappoint Emperor Kangxi, and every task was completed very well.
Originally, Emperor Kangxi thought that such a spur would become a major driving force for Yinchu's progress, but later events changed Emperor Kangxi's view. From the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, things began to develop in a direction that Emperor Kangxi did not expect.
Emperor Kangxi was worried, if the crown prince continued like this, he would not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country. At the same time, the crown prince's handling of some issues was contrary to that of Emperor Kangxi.
Emperor Kangxi began to consider abolishing the crown prince and setting up a new one. In order to punish the crown prince, the Kangxi Emperor detained him. This made Yinren's rival Yinren ecstatic, and he thought he had a chance.
However, Yinchu, who was once calm and rational, lost his mind at this time, and he had only one thought in his heart, that is, to sit on the throne of the crown prince. Emperor Kangxi naturally knew Yinchu's ambitions, but he believed that at this critical moment, if Yinchu could not deal with the problem calmly, it would prove that he was not up to the task, and he was naturally not the best candidate for the heir to the throne.
Emperor Kangxi's concerns were not groundless, the news of Yinren's detention gradually exposed Yinren's ambitions, and he was no longer satisfied with fighting in secret, but openly challenged the status of the crown prince, which made Emperor Kangxi extremely dissatisfied.
What surprised Emperor Kangxi even more was that Yinchu actually put forward the idea of getting rid of the prince, and this kind of behavior of poisoning his own brother made Emperor Kangxi deeply sad.
At this time, Yinchu had been carried away by utilitarianism, he no longer knew how to read words and feelings, and he didn't even notice that Emperor Kangxi's face had changed greatly, and he continued to sell his plan to "get rid of the prince".
Emperor Kangxi saw Yinchu's performance like this, and his heart was full of chills.
Once, Emperor Kangxi hoped that Yinchu could become his right-hand man and assist him in governing the country, but the current situation made him realize that Yinchu was not a person suitable for heavy responsibilities.
So, he made a decision to punish Yinchu and make him realize his mistake. He got rid of Yinchu's title and confined him at home, and the once beautiful prince now has nothing.
The magnitude of this change is like the difference between clouds and mud. At this time, Yinchu was only thirty-one years old, which should be the most active age for the prince, but Emperor Kangxi's decision undoubtedly announced that he could not become the heir to the throne.
In 1709, Yinchu was officially confined, and in that era when there were no advanced communication tools and networks, life within the palace walls was extremely boring, especially for Yinchu, he could not take a step out and see the outside world.
In history, Yinchu was imprisoned for a long time and spent a period of time as if he was living like a year. In such a life, he could not have contact with the outside world, and could only rely on his wives and concubines every day.
Maybe it's because life is too dull, or maybe it's because he wants to find something to do, Yinchu chooses to help the royal family continue the incense, which becomes the only thing he can do.
During these twenty-six years of captivity, he gave birth to a total of seventeen children, including eleven sons and eight daughters. The most unbelievable thing is that when Yinfu was sixty-one years old, his concubine actually gave birth to a son for him.
Although this history is very far away from us, and we cannot verify the authenticity and accuracy of many data, we can be sure that Yinchu did raise many children during the days of captivity.
Because Yinchu was dealt with by Emperor Kangxi early, he almost did not participate in the battle of the nine sons to seize the heir, and the final winner was the fourth prince Yongzheng. Since Yinchu did not pose a threat to Yongzheng's throne, after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he did not suffer too much and was confined in the palace.
Although he lost his personal freedom, he did not suffer too much trouble in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. During this period of time, Yinchu undoubtedly deeply regretted that he should not have proposed such an insidious idea of getting rid of the prince to Kangxi in the first place.
If this were not the case, Yinchu might be more happy now. However, time cannot be turned back, and what has already happened cannot be changed. "If" is just a beautiful imagination, there is no regret medicine in the world, even if he regrets it, Yinchu will not be able to regain the trust of Emperor Kangxi.
The ups and downs of Yinchu's life are all due to his personality problems. He was ambitious, a quality that was essential for princes, and his ambition brought him success. However, the problem with Yinchu is that his ambition is mixed with many impurities.
He hopes to replace Yinren as the new crown prince, and there is nothing wrong with this idea in itself. But he made a killing move, and even killed his own brother, which is beyond the boundaries of normal competition.
The insidious and vicious behavior made Yinchu fall into the abyss of no return, and it was precisely because he saw his true colors that Emperor Kangxi chose to imprison him and deprive him of his competitive qualifications.
Yinchu's real experience warns us: "You can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." Despite being in the perilous palace, his insidious viciousness has become a tool to harm others.
In daily life, we should also take work and study seriously with a serious attitude, but we must not harm others to achieve our goals, and always maintain a kind heart in order to go further and fly higher.
