In-depth analysis of the historical maze, focusing on the palace disputes in the last years of Kangxi"The Nine Kings compete for the deer"or"Nine sons compete for supremacy", presumably loyal viewers of "Yongzheng Dynasty" are no strangers to this.
But there are still some friends who are specifically involved"Nine princes"There are doubts. Now, let's unveil the mystery of this royal power struggle together, and elaborate through the professional perspective of the imperial history"Nine Kings"story.
Since ancient times, imperial power has been a magnet for the descendants of the nobility, who dream of claiming the throne through various means, even at the expense of kinship. During the Kangxi period in 1708, with the first abolition of the crown prince of Yinren, the competition among the princes became fierce, and the crown prince became a hot target.
In this historical game, four major political factions were born, including Yinren's big brother party, Yinren's original team, Yinzhi and Yinzhen's think tank, as well as Yinzhen, Yinzhen?
and Yunxiang, Yinyu and many other strong competitors. Their struggle is a power game of "nine sons to seize the heir".
The nine princes revolve around the throne and are cleverly divided into four major forces: with the eldest brother as the core"Chitose Leader faction", the second elder brother Yinren's"The Prince's cronies", the fourth elder brother's"The fourth master iron powder ball"and led by the eighth elder brother"Eight Masters"。
After the abolition of the crown prince,"The Great Chitose Party"The action is particularly direct, led by the brave Yinyu, and the uncle of Mingzhu University is a key figure. They strategically focused on the principle of establishing a son, firmly believing that after the setback, the establishment of the eldest son would be Kangxi's choice.
With his exploits in the battle against Galdan, Yinhe had outstanding prestige in the army, and he was convinced that he would be the leader in the competition for the prince.
Kangxi doesn't have a high evaluation of Yinhe, thinking that his impulsiveness and irritability are a hidden danger. In the deposed incident of the crown prince, Yinren even advocated that his father personally solve Yinren, which exposed his ambition.
Kangxi accused him of violating the ethics of kings and ministers and ignoring family affection, which violated the laws of heaven and the country. Therefore, when Kangxi imprisoned Yinren, he made it clear that he had never had the idea of establishing Yinren as the prince, and Yinren's storage road was cut off.
Yinhe turned his hopes to the eighth elder brother Yinxi, however, the mentioned prophecy of Xiangshi attracted the wrath of Kangxi, and Zhang Mingde was severely punished. Yinren tried to frame Yinren through witchcraft, and although Kangxi was furious, as a father, he did not choose to kill his own son in the end, but deprived Yinren of his title and title, and imprisoned him for life.
Original text: Yinren-led *** was once active, but its road to restoration was full of ambition and frustration, and finally ended up in a bleak ending of captivity. In contrast, the third elder brother Yinzhi focused on literature, did not form an obvious party, and his pursuit of the position of the prince was relatively low-key.
Witnessing the lessons of Yinren and Yinren, he carefully avoided publicly seizing the heir. The fourth elder brother Yinzhen, that is, the four masters of the party, originally belonged to the members of ***, their original intention was to support the prince, not to fight, but after Yinren lost power, he realized his own interests and gradually became involved in the struggle for the throne in secret.
The Fourth Master Party is really not to be underestimated, with Nian Qianyao's military support, Long Keduo's court assistance, Dai Duo's resourceful response, and the firm support of the Thirteenth Elder Brother, Yinzhen's road to the throne appeared calm and restrained, and skillfully avoided Kangxi's suspicion.
On the other hand, the Eight Masters Party, with Yinxi as the core, includes strong members such as the Ninth Elder Brother, the Tenth Elder Brother and the Fourteenth Elder Brother, and they are powerful, especially Yinxi, who is known as"The Eight Wise Kings", his diligence and affinity, he was deeply admired by the courtiers.
After the abolition of the crown prince, Kangxi was wary of Yinxi's prestige, and although he was suppressed many times, Yinxi still maintained a very high reputation. However, his talent was not fully exploited by Kangxi.
In his later years, Kangxi was deeply affected by the pain of the Nine Kings and deeply experienced the complexity and risk of publicly establishing a prince. Faced with the throne coveted by many princes, he realized that the public establishment of a prince would lead to fierce internal rivalry.
Therefore, after deposing the crown prince, Kangxi abandoned his conventional practice and chose to announce the heir to the throne to the world in a unique way at the last moment of his life.
