Yinyu made great achievements in battle, and the throne was not robbed
In December of the sixty-first year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi died, and Yongzheng Yinzhen inherited the throne as "the world's greatest idler", known as Emperor Yongzheng in history. Yongzheng's mother is Concubine Wu Ya, and it stands to reason that if the son of any of the concubines in the harem has a career and inherits the throne, he should be happy.
But what is strange is that Wu Yashi did not support Yongzheng's succession. She showed extreme grief over the death of Emperor Kangxi and even refused to eat. What's even more surprising is that she even wanted to be martyred for the late Emperor Kangxi and give the newly succeeded Emperor Yongzheng a dismount.
After all, although Yongzheng sat on the throne, he was not completely stable, and the younger brothers of the Nine Kings, especially the eighth brother Yinxi and others, were staring at him with fierce eyes.
If the Empress Dowager is buried at this time, Yongzheng may be labeled as unfilial. Therefore, Yongzheng could only patiently persuade Wu Yashi, and finally made her dispel the idea of martyrdom.
Why did Wu Yashi refuse to attend the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, refusing to salute the empress dowager and the title of the empress dowager proposed by the Hanlin Academy, and openly questioning Yongzheng's throne?
The root of all this is that Wu Yashi always thought that Kangxi would pass on the throne to his youngest son Yinyu, the fourteenth son of the emperor, who had made great achievements, and Yongzheng had lived in the palace since he was a child, and the relationship between mother and son was cold.
Wu Yashi felt sorry for his youngest son, so he had these actions. However, all this is just a misunderstanding of the Uyashi, and this is not the case. So, is it really possible for Yongzheng's half-brother Yinyu to inherit the throne?
Or did Yongzheng really snatch his own brother's throne? The answer is: no, no!
Let's learn the real history together: why the fourteenth son of the emperor Yinyu can't inherit the throne! 01 The mother's background determines the fate of the son Yinyu and Yongzheng were both born to Wu Ya, Wu Ya was born in Manchuria with a yellow flag, and when Yongzheng succeeded to the throne and rewarded his relatives, he called him a "famous entrepreneur" and had a noble background.
However, the "Eight Banners Tongzhi" said that Wu Ya's grandfather was the head of the imperial dining room and was born in Baoyi. The reason why Yongzheng raised his biological mother's background was for his own throne, just like his opponent Yinxi, his biological mother Concubine Liang was only from Xin Zheku, and she was taken by Kangxi many times.
Background is crucial to the fight for the throne, and as a victor, Yongzheng naturally understands this. As for the origin of Wu Ya's family, we will not argue, but it is certain that Yinyu and Yongzheng were both born to Wu Ya's family and have the same mother.
However, because Wu Yashi was only a palace maid with no position when he was born Yongzheng, he could not raise it personally, so Yongzheng grew up with Empress Xiaoyiren**. After that, Wu Yashi gave birth to two sons and three daughters for Kangxi, and he had no time to take care of Yongzheng, who had already lived in another palace, especially after the birth of his youngest son Yinyu, Wu Yashi was already a concubine and could raise him personally, pouring all his love into him.
Yinyu has been extremely smart since he was a child, and he has both talent and morality, even the ninth son of the emperor Yinyu was amazed: "He has outstanding intelligence, and our brothers can't compare!" Because her mother Wu Yashi was deeply favored by Kangxi, Yinyu received Kangxi's special attention and love since she was a child.
Since he was young, Yinyu has often followed Kangxi on patrol, and even in daily life, he has received many special treatments. However, Yinyu's relationship with the fourth brother Yinzhen is not close, but he is friendly with the ninth son of the emperor Yinzhen, the eighth son of the emperor Yinzhen and others.
In Kangxi's later years, he stood on the opposite side of Yinzhen and helped Yinzhen, the eighth son of the emperor, to compete for the position of prince. In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, the eighteenth son of the emperor Yinren was seriously ill, and Kangxi was very anxious, but the performance of the crown prince Yinren disappointed Kangxi.
This reminded him of the scene when he was sick in the desert and missed his son, so he summoned the third son Yinzhi and the crown prince Yinren to the camp. However, Yinren did not show concern for Kangxi, but spoke against him, which disappointed Kangxi very much, and recalled him to the capital.
After that, Kangxi thought that Yinren wanted to kill him, and his cruel and unkind personality abolished his position as prince. The eldest son of the emperor Yinchu and the eighth son of the emperor Yinzhen began to be active on the stage of competing for the prince, but although the eldest son of the emperor had great achievements, he did not know how to forbear, and he was the first of the nine kings to be imprisoned.
The crown prince and the eldest son of the emperor were imprisoned successively, and at this time, the eighth son of the emperor in the court, Yinxi, had the highest prestige and was quite powerful, and was known as the "Eight Sage Kings". However, Kangxi had long known Yinren's ambitions, and directly reprimanded him in front of the ministers: "It's like giving birth to another Yinren", and made it clear that he would not give him the position of crown prince, nor would he allow any minister to say good things for him.
The arrest of Yinyu on the charges of "murdering the prince" and "adulterous sex" caused a strong reaction from Yinyu, the fourteenth son of the emperor. He was convinced that Eighth Elder Brother would not do such a thing, so he pleaded with Kangxi and said that he could vouch for it.
At the same time, Yinyu, the ninth son of the emperor who was good friends with Yinyu, also pleaded. However, Kangxi was very angry about this, and even picked up a saber and rushed to Yinyu. Fortunately, Yinqi, the fifth son of the emperor, hugged Kangxi in time, and the other princes also interceded for Yinyu, allowing him to escape.
Although Kangxi was very angry at the time, he was given by Yinyu afterwards.
1. Moved by his straightforwardness, he did not affect his love for Yinyu because of Yinyu**.
Even, he praised Yinyu's performance.
Kangxi rewarded Yinyu richly, not only gave him 100,000 taels of silver before the western expedition, but also in the face of the threat of Dzungaria, he decided to let the emperor's fourteenth son Yinyu serve as the general of Fuyuan and go to the northwest.
The ceremony was extremely solemn, and all the princes and ministers who did not go out of the expedition were required to wear python costumes and gather outside the noon gate. Kangxi's trust and attention to Yinyu can be seen. Before setting out on the expedition, he also issued a special edict to the Mongolian princes of Qinghai, emphasizing the ability and authority of Yinyu, and requiring them to act according to the orders of the great general.
As my prince, the great general Wang Yinyu is indeed an excellent general, he is good at leading the army, and has a unique insight into the management of the army. Therefore, I appointed him to the important power of life and death, hoping that he can lead the army and contribute to the country and the people.
Whether it is military affairs or small matters, you should follow the instructions of the great general, the king, whose guidance is as important as my own instructions. I hope that you will be able to unite and put your mind and body into your work and work hard.
This time, I asked Yinyu to go to the northwest, giving him a very high status and power, which is also a recognition of his military talent. Yinyu lived up to expectations, he rectified the interior, dealt with incompetent ministers, and improved the combat effectiveness and efficiency of the army.
According to my plan, we will first recover **, and then march to the Dzungar department, and the troops will be carried out in two ways. In order to better command the battle, Yinyu moved the headquarters forward to **Mulus Wusu, and the Qing army successfully defeated the Dzungar Department in the ensuing battle and entered **.
From then on, the Dzungars no longer dared to enter Tibet, which was a great victory and made a great contribution to the stability of the Qing Dynasty. After that, Yinyu turned the war to Xinjiang, and although he did not take military action against Xinjiang in the end, his performance still made me very satisfied.
Although he was not able to become a prince at the time of my death, I believe that his talents and efforts will bring greater contributions to the future of the Qing Dynasty. Yinyu, the ninth son of the emperor, said to his cronies a long time ago: "One of the three people, I, Yinyu, and Yinyu will definitely be the prince; Yinyu is outstanding, our brothers are not as good as him, and they will definitely be able to be expensive in the future. ”
Yinyu's intentions are very obvious, someone in his group will inevitably become the new emperor, especially the fourteenth son of the emperor, Yinyu, is the most promising. Especially after Yinyu was named the general Wang and went on the expedition, Yinyu firmly believed that his father would pass the throne to Yinyu.
Before Yinyu went on the expedition, Yinyu would go to Yinyu's house every night, and he didn't leave until the second or third watch, hoping that he could return successfully. In addition, before Yinyu set out on the expedition, Yinyu also specially sent someone to send 10,000 taels of silver, and then sent people to the northwest to send silver taels many times.
Before leaving for the northwest, Yinyu told Yinyu many times that if his father was unwell, he must tell him. And Yao Zixiao, the eunuch beside Yinyu, is the messenger who delivers news between them.
In fact, Yinyu didn't really care about Kangxi's health, but decided his next move based on his father's physical condition. However, things did not go as smoothly as Yinzhen and others thought, after the death of Kangxi, the fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen inherited the throne and was known as Emperor Yongzheng in history.
And on the second day of Kangxi's death, Yongzheng ordered Zhenguo Gong Yanxin to be Beizi, went to the northwest to take charge of the general's letter of seal, and gave him a decree: "After you arrive in the northwest, send all the generals, edicts and family letters back to the capital; If you meet a great general on the way, do not reveal my will for you. ”
From Yongzheng's will, it is easy for people to misunderstand: does he want to find Kangxi's edict to Yinyu to pass on the throne? After Yinyu returned to the capital, he first went to the Shouhuang Palace to pay homage to Kangxi's coffin, and then saw Yongzheng, but refused to kneel.
Seeing that the two were deadlocked, the guard next to Yongzheng, Laxi, took the initiative to break the deadlock and went to pull Layinyu, hoping that he could kneel. But Yinyu angrily scolded Laxi: "I am the emperor's own brother, and you Laxi is just a lowly person, if I do something wrong, the emperor can punish me, but if I don't have it, please ask the emperor to correct Laxi on the spot." ”
Originally, Yinyu thought that he had the responsibility and power to admonish. However, when Yinyu said this, Yinyu just bowed his head silently and knelt down, without showing his awe for the emperor.
This behavior made Yongzheng feel very dissatisfied, and he thought that Yinyu only chose to kneel because he respected Yinyu, not because he was in awe of himself. This incident became a major crime that Yongzheng accused Yinxi.
In the eyes of Yongzheng, the Ninety-Five Emperor, Aqina just let Yinyu kneel down because of his own words, this kind of party betrayal and blatant behavior is intolerable.
Therefore, Yinyu was placed under house arrest in Jingling and guarded the imperial tomb for Kangxi. Although when the Empress Dowager Wu Yashi was seriously ill, Yongzheng gave Yinyu a false title of county king, but he was still a solid mountain beizi, and he was not given a title, nor did he have the title of county king.
However, as time passed, Yongzheng sat firmly on the throne and began to attack Kangxi's brothers who competed with him for the throne in his later years. Yinyu's title of Viscount Bei was also cut off, and he was escorted back to the capital and imprisoned in the Shouhuang Palace.
Until Yongzheng died of illness and soon after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, Qianlong ordered the release of the two uncles (the tenth uncle Yinyu and the fourteenth uncle Yinyu). In the second year of Qianlong, Yinyu was named the Duke of Feng'en Fuguo, and was finally promoted to the king of Doluo County.
Although Yinyu has been promoted many times, due to his advanced age, he naturally will not do much. Although Yinyu has experienced many twists and turns and hardships in his life, he has always maintained his perseverance and perseverance, and finally won Qianlong's appreciation and respect.
In the twentieth year of Qianlong, Yinyu died of illness, and Qianlong rewarded him with 10,000 taels of silver for his funeral, and gave him the nickname "Qin".
Yinyu: A brave and warlike general, or a down-and-out prince who was robbed of the throne? Although Yinyu has the title of a brave and warlike general, there has always been controversy about whether he was robbed of the throne by Yongzheng.
However, I don't think Kangxi will pass the throne to Yinyu. Although he had conquered the northwest and achieved some military achievements, his prestige was not high. As the future heir to the throne, Kangxi will consider a variety of factors, not just his military exploits.
Moreover, Yinyu's reputation is not good, he once directly asked for money from civil and military officials, and his subordinates are also unstable. How can such a person be suitable to become the crown prince?
In addition, although Yinyu was named the king of the county before going to the northwest, he did not have a title, which can only be regarded as a false title, and the actual title is still Beizi. And the treatment Kangxi gave him was only the treatment of Beizi.
As a person with a strong sense of hierarchy, how could Kangxi pass the throne to Yinyu, who was just a shell boy? As for the statement that many people think that Yongzheng tampered with the edict to snatch the throne, I think this is incorrect.
In the Qing Dynasty, the princes were called "Huang" and "Zi" in front of and behind their names respectively, for example, Yinzhen would be called the eighth son of the emperor Yinzhen, and Yinzhen would be called the fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen.
Therefore, if Kangxi really wants to pass the throne to Yinyu, the edict should be written "Pass it to Yinyu, the fourteenth son of Emperor Yu", but how does Yongzheng want to tamper with it? Therefore, the argument of tampering with the edict will not work at all.
All in all, Kangxi's appreciation for Yinyu stems from his integrity and simplicity, and hopes that he can achieve success in his career and be promoted to the title. However, as a candidate for the crown prince, Yinyu's maturity needs to be improved.
After all, he had competed with Yinxi for the crown, which made Kangxi have an impact on his trust. Despite this, Kangxi listed him as one of the candidates for the crown prince, but he was not the best candidate.
