Who is Emperor Yongzheng's uncle? He is the famous Long Keduo, you see a word in the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty", this Long Keduo said: Tong Guowei is my sixth uncle. This is a bit nonsense, because in history, who is this Long Keduo, the third son of Tong Guowei, and I have to say that this Long Keduo can be said to be from a famous family, Long Keduo's great-grandfather, grandfather, and then father, as well as his uncle, are all officials in the court. So at that time, there was a Qing generation called what it was called, and their family was called "Tong Banchao".
Of course, this is not the best, what is the best? is Long Keduo, the first two queens in their family, one is Long Keduo's aunt, and it is the Empress Xiaokangzhang of Shunzhi, that is, Kangxi's biological mother. The other is Long Keduo's sister, Kangxi's Empress Xiaoyiren, Tong Jia's family.
Then why do we say that Yongzheng calls this Long Keduo his uncle? It stands to reason that this Empress Xiaoyiren is not Yongzheng's biological mother, but we also have to say that it is because this Yongzheng was raised by this Empress Xiaoyiren for a period of time when he was young. So later, in the process of the nine sons seizing the heir, Yongzheng also recognized the power of Long Keduo and their family. So he is willing to recognize this Long Keduo as his uncle. We say that the old saying is very good, call the rich grandson the third generation, right, this rich uncle, even if he does it, then he is also pro.
On the other hand, let's talk about this Long Keduo, because Long Keduo was born in a famous family, so he is also destined to have an extraordinary life. Therefore, in the 27th year of Kangxi, he served as a first-class guard, and later served as the deputy commander of the Eight Banners, which can be said to be a smooth progress. But unfortunately, in the 44th year of Kangxi, this Long Keduo was unlucky. According to historical records, at that time, this subordinate of Long Keduo broke the law and discipline. Therefore, Emperor Kangxi reprimanded this Long Keduo, saying that you did not restrain this person under him, so you cut all these positions of his capital and deputy capital, and of course kept walking on the first-class guards. So this Long Keduo is not like in the TV series, saying that he has no job, he is poor, and in the end he can't go to the Domain to become a jailer. and then got in touch with 13 elder brother Yinxiang, that's also nonsense.
In Kangxi's later years, the struggle of the nine sons to seize the heir can be said to be becoming more and more intense. Emperor Kangxi was in this Qianqing Palace at that time, and said in front of his sons, saying that after a hundred years, my corpse will stop in this Qianqing Palace, and you will fight for each other. What does this mean? To put it bluntly, you have to wear armor and fight each other in order to compete for this throne. As soon as they heard the old man say this, the princes could be said to look at each other. I have to say that these four elder brothers reacted quickly, and as soon as they heard my father say this, he immediately expressed his attitude, saying that my old father, my dearest person, ......Of course, Kangxi is not stupid, Kangxi said: Tell me, this singing is better than saying, right, when you really fight for the throne, it will be ruthless.
So what should you do to keep yourself safe? He was promoted to Long Keduo as the commander of this infantry army, which is what we call the Admiral of the Nine Gates. Then why did Emperor Kangxi trust this Long Keduo? is still a word "acting", which means that this Long Keduo is good at acting! At that time, in the process of the nine sons seizing the heir, who did this Long Keduo support, and supported the eldest brother, which Emperor Kangxi also knew. Therefore, Emperor Kangxi once decreed: Long Keduo Oro Dai Shun Anyan, and the eldest brother is good, and everyone knows it. But this Long Keduo is very smart, after the fall of the eldest brother, he did not say that he supported this eighth elder brother like his father Tong Guowei. He adopted a non-aligned attitude, and that is exactly what happened, so he gained the trust of Emperor Kangxi.
When Kangxi was 59 years old, why did Kangxi appoint Long Keduo again? He also served as the commander of the infantry army. At the same time, he was also given an important task, which was to let Long Keduo be responsible for monitoring the eldest brother and the second elder brother who were imprisoned, that is, the prince Yinren. Including these ** in the court, their movements, and any moves to report to the emperor at any time.
Through this, we can also see that Emperor Kangxi still trusted Long Keduo in his old age. And it is precisely with this trust that when Emperor Kangxi died, Long Keduo became the only minister by Kangxi's side. Then let's say that above this stall, what did this Longke do for this Yongzheng Emperor......
