In this case, the most unlucky person is Yong Zhengdi. After Yong Zhengdi acceded to the throne, at that time and even now, many people suspected that Yong Zhengdi's throne was not justified. Some people say that the will of Emperor Kangxi is? The throne passed to the fourth son Yin Zhen? And others think it's Yong Zhengdi? Correctly usurp the throne? .
So you're sucking? Nine sons seized the office? After learning from a painful experience, Yong Zhengdi ordered the abolition of the public reserve system and replaced it with the private reserve system.
Before Yong Zhengdi died, in order to protect his chosen successor, Li Hong (Emperor Qianlong), Yongzheng made two preparations to ensure foolproof.
In the first year of Yongzheng, Yong Zhengdi called his ministers to the West Nuange of Gan Qing Palace. In front of the nobles, Yongzheng said:
Today, our philosophers are still very young, so we must carefully build storage. Although it can't be held, we should plan ahead. ?
Later, at the invitation of ministers, Yongzheng slowly expressed his real intention:
Today, I specially wrote a letter about it, hid it in a box and put it in the middle of the Qing palace. Did Emperor Zhang Shizu write a book? Aboveboard? Behind the plaque, it is the highest place in the palace, in case it is unsafe, all princes should know.
This move by Yongzheng protected the heir Li Hong to the greatest extent, and also ensured the authenticity and credibility of this secret. Yongzheng said that he hid the successor in the plaque of Gan Qing Palace. After his death, the princes and ministers could take down the secret edict in public and announce the successor.
In addition, Yongzheng also quietly summoned Zhuang Yunlu, Guo Taizi Yunli, Zhang and E Ertai to discuss privately, and gave them a secret letter, telling them to wait until after their death, the heir acceded to the throne, and then handed this secret letter to the new emperor face to face.
These are two secret messages left by Yong Zhengdi.
In the 13th year of Yongzheng, 13 Yong Zhengdi died unfortunately. After that, everyone took down the testamentary edict in Gan Qing Palace, and supported the emperor's fourth son, Prince Li Hong, to ascend to the throne, for the sake of Emperor Qianlong.
After Emperor Qianlong ascended the throne, Zhang and other four people sent a secret letter to Emperor Qianlong. In this secret order, Yongzheng said that he left two ministers for Qianlong, namely Zhang and E Ertai (before Zhang was placed in E Ertai), hoping that Emperor Qianlong would make great efforts with the help of these two ministers.
Finally, two secret letters left by Yong Zhengdi to Emperor Qianlong brought great benefits to Emperor Qianlong. The former consolidated the imperial power of Emperor Qianlong, while the latter consolidated the ruling foundation of Emperor Qianlong, allowing him to sit firmly for 63 years.
