[Thirteen, Nine Sons Fighting for the Throne, the Emperor with the Most Unofficial History. ]

[There are more than 400 emperors in Chinese history. ]

[If you ask which emperor has the most unofficial history, Yongzheng must be at the top. ]

[From his accession to the throne to his death, it's all stories. ]

[Especially the story of his accession to the throne is extremely wonderful. Some people say that he did not succeed to the throne but usurped the throne, and some people say that his throne came in an illegitimate way. ]

[So how did Yongzheng succeed to the throne? ]

[Next, let's trace the traces of history to explore the historical truth of his ascension to the throne, and take a look at the famous nine sons fighting for the throne in history. ]

[In order to seize the throne, the phenomenon of brothers killing each other in succession dynasties is common. ]

[It was especially intense during the reign of Kangxi. 】

【The crown prince was appointed and abolished twice, which caused the competition among the nine princes to be extremely fierce. 】

【Why was the competition for the throne so fierce during the reign of Emperor Kangxi? 】

【It was mainly because Emperor Kangxi was too fertile. He had a total of 35 princes, and nine of them were eager to compete for the throne! 】

【First, the eldest son Yinzhi, he formed his own faction. 】

【Later, knowing that he had no hope of winning the throne, he turned to support the eighth son. 】

【The second son Yinreng, he was the most beloved son of Emperor Kangxi, and was made the crown prince. 】

【The third son Yinzhi, he was a member of the prince party. 】

【The fourth son Yinzhen, he was later Emperor Yongzheng. 】

【The eighth son Yinsi, he called himself a faction, and had a high reputation. Those who supported him were called the Eighth Master Party. 】

【Ninth Prince Yinzhen and Tenth Prince Yinqi are also members of the Eighth Prince Party. 】

【Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang is the best brother of the Fourth Prince. 】

【After Yongzheng ascended to the throne, the Thirteenth Prince assisted him with all his strength, and Yongzheng loved him very much, making him the Iron Hat Prince. 】

【The last prince to compete for the throne was the Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen. 】

【When the Eighth Prince felt that he had no hope of winning the throne, he gave all his resources to the Fourteenth Prince, so the Fourteenth Prince became the biggest competitor with the Fourth Prince Yongzheng in the final battle for the throne. 】

........................................................................................

"35 princes, indeed! Kangxi seems to be in good health."

"My goodness, what are the names of these princes? I don't know any of them!"

"If he succeeds, he will be the emperor. How can he not fight for it?"

"......"

The ancient people admired Kangxi's health.

It is rare to be able to give birth to 35 princes!

As for the matter of snatching the status of the prince, the ancients had no surprise at all. If he succeeds, he will be the emperor! Who can resist not fighting for it?

............................................................................

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng looked a little surprised.

"All my children add up to only more than 30 people, and you have 35 princes alone?!"

Yes, he was envious.

This must be a strong kidney!

Seed-throwing machine!

These are the princes who survived successfully. If we add the princesses and the children who died young, the number must be even more amazing!

..........................................................................

Qing Dynasty.

Emperor Kangxi was slightly proud.

What's wrong with having many sons?

Having many sons will make it possible for more outstanding princes to appear, and this will increase the possibility of a wise ruler.

I am all thinking about the country of the Qing Dynasty.

It is definitely not excessive indulgence.

And the princes around Kangxi all had different expressions.

"Who did the throne pass to?"

This is the question that all of them are concerned about.

After seeing the fourth prince ascend to the throne, the other princes all changed their expressions!

"Impossible, the throne should be mine!"

Only the fourth prince Yinzhen showed a relieved smile. After years of forbearance, he finally achieved his goal.

..........................................................................

[So why did the nine sons compete for the throne in Kangxi's later years? ]

[The incident started because Kangxi doted on the second son too much. ]

[The mother of the second son was Empress Hesheli, Kangxi's first queen. The couple had a good relationship when they were young. She died of dystocia when giving birth to the second son. ]

[Kangxi transferred his thoughts about his deceased wife to this second son. ]

[He was publicly appointed as the crown prince before he was one year old. ]

[And personally educated him. 】

【However, the problem was that Kangxi was in such good health! 】

【He made his second son the crown prince for 30 years, so the crown prince had a rebellious heart. 】

【Once, the crown prince chatted with Soetu, an important member of the crown prince's party, and the crown prince expressed his frustration. He said: How can anyone be a crown prince for 30 years in the world? 】

【This word reached Kangxi's ears. 】

【Kangxi believed that Soetu was suspected of instigating the crown prince to rebel, so he stabbed Soetu to death. 】

【Although the crown prince was not affected by this incident. 】

【But after this incident, the contradiction between the crown prince and Kangxi deepened. 】

【Kangxi became more and more disappointed with the crown prince. 】

【In 1708, Kangxi issued an edict to abolish the crown prince. 】

【After the crown prince was abolished, the other princes were ready to make a move, and the first one to jump out was the eldest prince. 】

【He collected evidence of the crown prince's crimes everywhere, wrote to the emperor, saying that the crown prince was unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial, and suggested that his father kill him. 】

【Kangxi attached great importance to the relationship between brothers. 】

【He didn't expect that his eldest son was so cruel. If he became the emperor, the fate of the other more than 30 sons could be imagined. 】

【So Kangxi first ruled out the eldest prince. 】

【From then on, the eldest prince's path to becoming the crown prince was ruined by himself. 】

【It should be said that the eldest prince didn't know how to read the emperor's words and expressions, and he flattered the horse's hoof. 】

【If we talk about the one who can understand the emperor's heart and read the emperor's words and expressions, it should be Yongzheng! 】

【When the crown prince was abolished, the princes vying for the throne all scrambled to suppress the crown prince. 】

【But at this time, Yongzheng stood up to speak for the crown prince. 】

【Because he saw that the emperor did not really want to abolish the crown prince. 】

【As Yongzheng expected, Kangxi also felt that he was a little impulsive. 】

【Yongzheng's statement made Kangxi very satisfied. He felt that this son had a good character and valued the brotherhood. 】

【It makes me feel at ease to hand over the throne to such a person. 】

【In addition, Yongzheng can not only guess his father's mind, but also hide his strength. 】

【As soon as the crown prince was abolished, the princes actively campaigned in private to compete for the throne, and the eighth prince became the most popular candidate for the crown prince. 】

【Kangxi, who was suspicious by nature, felt that the popular eighth prince was far more dangerous than the deposed prince. 】

【So he issued an order to restore the second prince as the prince. 】

【After the prince was restored, the second prince and the eighth prince confronted each other and refused to give in. 】

【The ministers in the court also chose their own sides. 】

【Kangxi felt that the culprit for this chaotic situation was the prince. 】

【In 1712 AD, Kangxi abolished the prince again. 】

【During this period, Yongzheng showed a low profile and was extremely low-key. He walked his birds and raised flowers all day long. 】

【He always showed his non-competitiveness in front of Kangxi. 】

【Once, he invited Kangxi to his back garden to watch the peonies bloom. 】

[Here, Kangxi saw that Yongzheng's youngest son Hongli liked him very much, so he brought Hongli to the palace to educate him personally. 】

[Some people say that Kangxi passed the throne to Yongzheng because he liked Hongli. 】

·· ········Please give me flowers··· ·

[It should be said that this alone is not enough evidence. 】

·· ········Please give me flowers··· ·

[Don't think that Yongzheng is openly raising birds and flowers, cultivating his character, but he is actively forming cliques and pursuing personal interests behind the scenes. 】

[Zhang Tingyu, Nian Gengyao, Long Keduo and other important officials of the court wereLater, they all became his people. 】

【Zhang Tingyu, Grand Secretary of Baohedian, Leading Military Minister. 】

【Equivalent to the current Secretary-General of the State Council. 】

【Long Keduo, Infantry Commander, Nine Gates Admiral, in charge of the defense of the capital. 】

【Equivalent to the Infantry Commander-in-Chief and the Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Military Region. 】

【Nian Gengyao, later the Governor-General of Sichuan and Shaanxi, equivalent to the Commander-in-Chief of the two provinces. 】

【The Fourteenth Prince was ordered to go to the northwest, and the logistics support was fully responsible by Nian Gengyao. 】

【It can be imagined that if Nian Gengyao cut off the logistics supply, the army in the hands of the Fourteenth Prince would lose its combat capability. 】

【So in the later period, when Yongzheng came to power, he issued a transfer order, and the Fourteenth Prince was obediently recalled to the capital. 】

【It seems that Yongzheng was still far-sighted, comprehensive and stable. 】

【On the contrary, the eighth prince exposed his ambition and strength too early, and lost because he lost his patience. 】

【The battle for the throne among the nine princes was the most intense battle in history. 】

【From the performance of the princes, Yongzheng was undoubtedly the wisest one among them. 】

【He did not fight or compete, did nothing but did everything, so that he always took the initiative. 】

...... ..... 0

...... ..... 0

【Not only did he make the least enemies among the princes, but he also won the greatest recognition from Emperor Kangxi. 】

【It should be said that Kangxi's final decision to pass the throne to Yongzheng was a rational decision. 】

【Of course, judging from the situation at the time, Kangxi had a more stable choice, that is, Kangxi announced Yongzheng's status as the heir to the public and confirmed it before his death. 】

【Because the competition for the throne among the princes was too fierce. 】

【As a result, Yongzheng's ascension to the throne was not completed, and there were dangers everywhere, and he was almost disrupted by the eighth prince. 】

【This situation is very likely to lead to uncertainty. If any link goes wrong, it will easily cause chaos. 】

【And it may lead to the situation getting out of control and even shake the foundation of the political situation. 】

【If Kangxi had clearly decided on the new emperor before his death, it would be easier to ensure the orderly transition of power and the stability of the situation. 】

【...】

...........................................................................................

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng felt sorry for the second prince.

"It's not easy to be the crown prince for 30 years."

"Your mistake is that you didn't keep your cool. You can either keep waiting or drive your father out of office."

"It's unwise to speak your mind."

Ying Zheng also became a little curious about Kangxi.

It's nothing else, it's just Kangxi'sThe body is so good!

Can give birth to a son and still live!

Ying Zheng said enviously: "From today on, I will also take care of my health."

.............................................................................

Qing Dynasty.

Second Prince Yinreng was very happy to see him finally ascend the throne.

But now he has not become the crown prince, so exposing all his subsequent behaviors will not increase variables, right? ?

Also, why do you say that he is the emperor with the most unofficial history!

There is even suspicion of usurping the throne!

Now that my father knows everything, I am afraid that nothing good will happen.

As for the other princes, they all showed desperate looks.

'Great! Second Prince, you have been patient for a long time! You have hidden it so deeply! In the end, you actually picked up the leak. '

Kangxi fell into silence.

There is a lot of information revealed in the video, and he needs to digest it.

But one thing is certain, the second prince is the most suitable for the position of crown prince. Cuncun.
