First of all, the imperial edict was handed down. It's not feasible to change the Fourteen Handed Down Poems into the Four Handed Down Poems, but the ancient one is Yu, which can't be easily changed. In addition, in the Qing Dynasty, Huang Ge and Huang Ge could not get along. The son of the prince and the son of the county king can all be called "brother", and only the son of the emperor can be called "brother". In some imperial edicts, Brother Huang should be written to show the difference. Can only write "fourteen sons" but not "fourteen sons of the emperor" in the imperial edict? Isn't this not prudent enough to belittle the identity of the heir? If the emperor is fourteen sons, it will be even more difficult to change. Moreover, unofficial history paid equal attention to Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese, and it was replaced by Chinese, but Manchu and Mongolian were different. This is purely a rumor.
Secondly, judging from the situation in the last years of Kangxi, the successor should be Mei Yin Zhen. Kowloon occupied by Kowloon is big, second, third, fourth, eighth, ninth, tenth, thirteenth and fourteenth respectively. Eldest brother Kangxi abolished the Crown Prince in forty-seven years and banned him for life. After the abolition of the second brother Kangxi in fifty-one years, it was also banned for life. Nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers are followers of eight elder brothers, so I won't say more. Brother XIII rarely appeared after Prince Edward II was deposed. Some people say that this circle is forbidden, others say it is not. Anyway, it is not the same as Kangxi's early trip to the south and the north. Moreover, he is a party of four elder brothers, not an important competitive force for the throne.
There should be only 3484 people in Kangxi's later period.
It may be known from Baidu Encyclopedia that the father and son broke up after the eagle died in 53 years of Kangxi. When he was seriously ill, Emperor Kangxi thought he was taboo and even expelled him from the other hospital near Changchun Garden to the palace in Beijing. If it weren't for Jiu Ge's intercession, his life would be gone, and he won the taboo of Emperor Kangxi after the abolition of the Prince in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, and Emperor Kangxi is unlikely to set him up (besides, Mei is a very competitive candidate in terms of ability).
Brother 14th is very reserved. Many people think that Fourteenth Brother is Yongzheng's opponent, mainly because he was named "General King" in the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi and went to Junggar heavily. But I have some opinions about it. First, why only give him the title of "General King" and get treatment, instead of the real title of Prince Heshuo? Some people say that it is to show the difference with other princes and show their attention to him. However, this statement is too ostentatious for Kangxi. He made it clear that he would not establish a prince, and it was too high-profile and weird to carry Yin Gui out in this way. Whatever it is, it makes Yin Gui special, confuses everyone's thinking, and makes the Eight Ye Party pin its hopes on the 14th. Second, at the end of the 60th year of Kangxi, the general Wang Yinchan returned to Beijing. The following year, in April, 61, Kangxi ordered him to leave the capital and return to the front line in Xining. According to the performance of Yinchan in the west, the substantial victory took place in 58 or 59 years before Kangxi, which is not clear. At this time, there was no major war at the front, but Kangxi let him leave the capital. Jiu Ge Yin Yan said: Emperor Tai knows he doesn't want Brother Fourteen to succeed. I'm afraid it will be difficult to settle him after success. If it is really an heir, there is no need to arrange it so far, and then deliberately drive it away when you come back. Isn't Kangxi afraid that if the heir can't get it back soon, the court will be usurped by others? So I think it is impossible to establish Yin Chan as a prince. Kangxi suffered twice in the Prince Incident. This time, he really wants to build an heir. He should come up with a foolproof plan and allow no possibility of failure. Since Yin Gui has been established, why should he be trained in the rear and be given the relieving? Not let him conquer the world with his soldiers. Much more terrible than the battle between his son and the court. Therefore, I think he fired smoke bombs, on the one hand, in order to give hope to powerful parties like Eight Masters and Fourteen Masters and prevent them from causing too much trouble in North Korea, and on the other hand, in order to pave the way for the real heirs and put the greatest threat outside.
Next are the third and fourth brothers. These two are relatively stable dissidents in the later period, but there are differences. Although the third brother was praised by Kangxi, it was he who wrote the integration of ancient and modern books. I don't know much about this person, but I think this person is excellent and has read many books. As early as thirty-six years ago, when Kangxi went to Junggar, he personally took the coachman on a trip. In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, he also sued Yin Yan Town, and his son Hongsheng was sealed by Kangxi. If the fighting was fierce and powerful, the third brother should have been punished by Yongzheng long ago, so there should be little threat in the later period, or the relationship should be less rigid. He may mainly write books, and he has a feeling of escaping from political struggle. But that doesn't mean he didn't get the suspicion of Yongzheng. From the moment Yongzheng gave him the title, to the moment Prince Yi died, Yongzheng looked down on him a little. ...
Let's talk about the May 4th Movement, the practical learning of the Kangxi Dynasty. They did a lot of things, and both of them did well, especially during the war in the last years of Kangxi. Fourteen officers in charge of silver and grain are as important as soldiers, even more important. He went directly to deal with officials, and he also established dignity in front of civil and military officials, which was much better than fighting and killing.
Regardless of his influence. The most famous are Long Keduo, the governor of Nine Magistrates, and Nian Gengyao, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. One can detain 14 brothers at the front line, and one can close 9 doors with one order. The following are the importance of nine prefects. The predecessor of Longkeduo was Tuoheqi, a close uncle of the Yin family of the twelfth elder brother, who was highly cultivated by Kangxi. But in the fiftieth year of Kangxi, he was accused of conspiring with the deposed Prince Yin Ren to usurp the throne. Kangxi was furious, because if it was not stopped in time, there was a great chance that the Nine Magistrates would rebel. With these two helpers, the success rate of Yongzheng's succession or usurpation is great. However, Kangxi did not eradicate this threat around him, nor did he replace the Nine Magistrates. On the one hand, he may trust courtiers and Yin Zhen's loyalty to him. On the other hand, perhaps his intended successor is Yin Zhen, and he has not weakened Yin Zhen's power.
In addition, Yin Zhen's Li Hong, the so-called good son and grandson, and it runs in the family and Kangxi's love for the emperor and grandson are rare.
From the above two points, I firmly believe that Yongzheng was justified to inherit the throne. Of course, there are some small details I haven't talked about. And no matter how he succeeded to the throne, his achievements in the position of emperor are obvious to all, and he is qualified to be emperor.
As for why Yongzheng, who was questioned, was not buried with Kangxi, unofficial history said that Yongzheng had done a bad thing and dared not see Kangxi after his death, which was a big mistake.
The fact is that since Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, all the tombs he wanted to choose were near Zunhua, Hebei Province, which is the Qing Dongling where Kangxi Qianlong is now located. However, when Yongzheng chose the land of ten thousand years, he did not find a suitable address. On the one hand, he asked the mausoleum not to disturb people's normal life. On the other hand, according to the rules of the imperial tomb, he should also find a treasure trove of geomantic omen, but the places he is looking for are not suitable. One of them, chao yang shan, Jiu Feng (near Dongling), was chosen by Yi Wang Yunxiang. He was also very satisfied with this, so he secretly ordered the forest to burn bricks, but waited until later to shovel.
Later, when Qianlong repaired the mausoleum, he collected a lot of raw materials of wood and bricks from the place where Yongzheng had prepared, which proved that his determination and preparation to choose the mausoleum near Kangxi were firm and sufficient. Later, in an emergency, I had to choose another address, which also set a precedent for two mausoleums in the Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, the tombs of the Eastern Qing Dynasty were seriously stolen, but the three tombs of the Western Qing Dynasty were not stolen, which made great contributions to the protection of funeral cultural relics and systems in the Qing Dynasty.
