In the fifth year of Yongzheng, The eldest son of the emperor Hongshi was deprived of his title and was dismissed of his title due to his lack of virtue and was not cautious in his indulgence. He was deposed and was stolen and had no more titles. Hongshi was disheartened and died suddenly not long after.
The prince died young or died young was normal in the past. But Hongshi died strangely. A young and strong man died just by cutting his title, which is not logical.
The prince who was punished like Hongshi, and Kangxi Yinzhi . He was banned by Kangxi for a lifetime. He lived leisurely to 63 years old and gave birth to more than twenty children.

So Hongshi's death, some people suspect that it was done by Yongzheng . The temptation of the throne is too great. Not only does brothers have to fight, but fathers and sons cannot avoid life and death.
Then why do you suspect that Yongzheng killed his own son Hongshi? Naturally, it paved the way for his fourth son, Hongli .
Although Yongzheng's offspring is thin, it is meaningless to raise a heartless white-eyed wolf. It is better to kill him than to avoid causing trouble for Hongli.
So later, Hongli firmly held the throne for 60 years, which is the familiar Emperor Qianlong.

Hot hope for the throne
Hongshi is the son of Qifei Li Hongshi was the son of Yongzheng. He was originally the third son of Yongzheng, but his brothers in front of him did not survive. With such a success, Hongshi became the eldest son.
Several sons died one after another, one of them was the eldest son of the queen Ulanara . Yongzheng was very sad. For Hongshi, he still hoped that this son would have a future.
Although he had long confirmed that Hongli succeeded to the throne, in order to avoid the situation of his sons, Yongzheng, who was rumored to be in Hongli, was not made public, but placed in Qianqing Palace properly placed.

Kangxi reigned for too long, so when Yongzheng succeeded to the throne and when Kangxi was still alive, Yongzheng had several children.
But the world is still uncertain, Kangxi's grandchildren have no idea about inheriting the throne in the future . What's more, the battle between Yongzheng's brothers in the battle for the throne was too cruel.
Yongzheng liked his fourth son Hongli . When he was Prince Yong, he often brought Hongli to the palace to pay tribute to Kangxi.
After discovering that Kangxi also liked this little grandson, he played Hongli with the emotional card openly and secretly to show his presence in front of Kangxi.

As a result, as soon as Yongzheng obtained the throne, he immediately appointed Hongli as the crown prince .
Hongshi was twenty years old at that time, and he was in a state of great enthusiasm and entrusted with important tasks. Although he didn't know who the crown prince was written in the edict behind the plaque of Zhengda Guangming in the Qianqing Palace, judging from Yongzheng's attitude towards Hongli, the candidate for the crown prince was actually quite clear.
There is never hope for the stake in
Ke Hongshi was unwilling to give up. Before the day the edict was taken out, he thought there was still a chance. Maybe he fought for it, so Yongzheng went to change the edict.
However, Yongzheng's dislike of Hongshi was also quite obvious. When Kangxi was still there, Hongshi, as Prince Yong's eldest son, had no title or title.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he needed to worship Kangxi and his ancestors, The person he went to was a minor Hongli, but according to the rules, he should choose an adult prince to do it for him.

This one alone is enough for the front and rear harems to see that Hongshi has no future. In the third year of Yongzheng, Hongshi had all kinds of things that made Yongzheng angry. To sum up, it was all about being uncautionary and indulging in .
This is confusing. It is inevitable to fight for the crown prince, and it is okay not to like it, but at least you must have a title, otherwise it will not conform to the ancestral system of the royal family in the Qing Dynasty.
. Before Yongzheng ascended the throne, he sentenced Hongshi to such a serious crime. Did Hongshi suddenly become unfilial and show any signs of rebellion? It is indeed possible that

. Until Kangxi died, he announced the throne and passed away. No one knew who was the successor emperor. Hongshi was useless at that time.
He watched Hongli become more and more popular, and then he wanted to fight for himself quickly.
But for some reason, Hongshi's method of competing for favor is different from others. He did not do his duty as a prince, but ran to Yongzheng and pleaded for the Eighth Master Yinsi's party.
When Yongzheng first ascended the throne, he pretended to be the title of Prince Shuolian in order to stabilize the hearts of the people. After a period of time, he was demoted and banned, and changed his name to "Aqina" . His son Hongwang changed it to "Bodhisattva protection" . It can be seen how much Yongzheng hated Yinsi.

Ke Hongshi actually ran to speak up for Yinsi, hoping that Yongzheng could let him go with his brotherly feelings.
Yinsi was Kangxi's most capable and most likely to inherit the throne, and was Yongzheng's biggest opponent at that time.
Hongshi requested the release of Yinsi. In Yongzheng's eyes, he either wanted to rebel or was hopelessly stupid.
So Yongzheng was furious and asked him to leave his descendants and become Yinsi's son. His clan was also deleted. Not long after, Hongshi died of depression.
finally solved this unscrupulous son. No one competed with Hongli for in the future. Yongzheng felt relieved and even if he left his eternal infamy, he would do whatever he wanted.

Anyway, there is more than this controversy about Yongzheng. He said that he tampered with or forged Kangxi's will before he ascended the throne. The most widely circulated and biggest criticism of him.
The methods he used to eliminate Yinsi were equally vicious. The fourteenth brother of his mother and his compatriots suppressed him, and the sudden death of his elder brother Yinzhi, are all dark history that cannot be erased by Yongzheng.
