1722 On November 13, Kangxi completed the last journey of life in Changchun Garden . A word was left in the will, asking Yongzheng to treat Prince Li's descendants well, otherwise death would be uneasy.
The original words of the will are as follows:
"The descendants of Prince Li, the son of Emperor Taizu, are all safe now. If you can be careful and safe behind me, I will also be happy to die."
Emperor Yongzheng was full of doubts. Prince Li Dian Shan 1648 passed away. It has been decades since then. Why do you still write the matter of treating Prince Li well into the will?
Prince Li Daishan is the second son of Nurhachi and the brother of Huang Taiji . In short, Prince Li is Kangxi's grandfather.
Prince Li Daishan was an important figure in the founding history of the Qing Dynasty. He followed Nurhaci, Huang Taiji, and Fulin. He made important contributions to the stability of the early Qing Dynasty politically and military.
Daishan followed Nurhaci from the time of 16 to attack Hada tribe, Huifa tribe, and Yehe tribe for the first time. He was named Beile in terms of merit and began to make his mark in the army.
24 years old, Dai Shan led the 3000 Jianzhou Jurchen army, captured three people, Chang Zhu and his son and his younger brother Hulibu Beile in the Battle of Wujieyan, beheaded 3,000 people, 5,000 horses and 3,000 pairs of armor, and was named "Guying Batulu" by Nurhaci.
1616, Nurhaci established the Later Jin regime, with "Destiny" as the year name, "Hisuobeile four people, headed by Daishan." His status was second only to his father Nurhaci.
Daishan's elder brother Chu Ying After "falling out of favor", he was sentenced to death by Nurhaci. Daishan made great achievements in military affairs and civil and military affairs, and was made the heir by Nurhaci. However, due to the ambiguous relationship with Nurhaci's concubine Abahai and the abuse of his son Yuetuo and Shuotou , Nurhaci publicly announced the deposed position of Daishan's prince.
"Old Manchu Archive·Bizi Archive": Previously, he inherited his father's country, so he was appointed as the crown prince. Now he abolished the crown prince and seized all his specialized colleagues and subordinates.
Dai Shan killed his stepwife with his own hands and apologized to Nurhaci, but Nurhaci still tolerated him. Although Daishan was abolished as the crown prince, he was still the leader of the four major belles and participated in the governance of national affairs.
After Nurhaci's death, the nobles of the Eight Banners of Manchuria had fierce competition for the inheritance of the Khan throne. Dai Shan took the overall situation into consideration and elected Huang Taiji to inherit the Khan throne, so that the power of the Later Jin regime could alternate and stable transition.
And in 1643, Huang Taiji passed away in a hurry and did not have time to designate his heir.
In order to compete for the highest power, all forces have launched a fierce battle for each other. The most powerful one is the prince's faction headed by Haoge and the prince's faction headed by Dorgon .
For Daishan, Haoge is Huang Taiji's son, that is, his nephew, and Dorgon is his younger brother. It has no effect on whoever becomes emperor.
Both sides were tense, and Dai Shan stood firmly on the side of the prince's faction in the face of this situation. Finally, a plan that both parties could accept was reached, that is, Huang Taiji's youngest son Fulin inherited the throne.
If it weren't for Dai Shan's son who firmly supported Huang Taiji, I'm afraid the throne would not be the turn of Shunzhi .
The great kindness that Prince Li supported twice was unforgettable in Kangxi's heart.
After Shunzhi ascended the throne, Dorgon stared at him, and his ministers and belles obeyed, and they followed Dorgon behind his back. Even Daishan's son Shuotou and grandson Adali went to lobby for Dorgon to establish himself as the king.
Shuotuo: "The Minister of the Inner Turge and the Imperial Guards all follow my plan, and the king can make himself king." (Retrieved from "The Records of the Emperor Shizu of the Qing Dynasty")
After the Dian Shan learned about it, he destroyed his relatives for justice and stood up to report Adali and Shuotuo. Sacrifice the lives of sons and grandsons to shock those who are ready to move.
In Kangxi's heart, Dai Shan once again contributed to the stability of the regime on the issue of inheritance of the throne.
The reason why Kangxi asked Yongzheng to treat Daishan's descendants well was that in addition to Daishan's own contribution, his descendants were also very promising.
Daishan's sons were all heroes of the founding of the country in the early Qing Dynasty and had considerable military power.
8 of the early Qing Dynasty, the eight Iron Hat King , Daishan himself, his son Yuetuo, and grandson Lukedehun , Daishan's lineage occupied three.
During the Kangxi period, Daishan's grandson Aisin Gioro Jieshu quelled the rebellion of Geng Jingzhong and defeated Taiwan Zheng Jing. When he returned in triumph, Emperor Kangxi personally went to Lugou Bridge to greet him, and his honor reached its peak.
It’s a pity that in the 36th year of Kangxi, Jieshu passed away. Kangxi naturally hopes that his descendants can be treated well for such meritorious ministers.
is just treating the descendants of Prince Li Daishan well. Why did Kangxi specifically remind him that he would write the will?
This matter is related to Yongzheng's personality. Kangxi cannot be unclear about Yongzheng's personality for the heir he chose. He is suspicious and cruel. He hates the people who are the most free of charge. He will never be merciful when dealing with officials.
When Kangxi died, he inherited the title of Prince Li and had no excellent abilities and qualifications. If you don’t give me some advice, if you make a mistake one day, Yongzheng would not take into account the merits of his ancestors, so he deliberately wrote the will.
During Yongzheng's reign, he attached great importance to Daishan's descendants. Chong'an, who inherited the title, managed the Han military affairs of the Han military affairs of the Zhenghong Banner, the Han military affairs of the Zhenghong Banner, the Han affairs of the People's Government, and the affairs of the People's Government, and the affairs of the People's Government, which did not disappoint Kangxi.
