Aisin Gioro Yinreng , Qing Dynasty and the last crown prince who was publicly enthroned in Chinese history, and the longest-time crown prince in history. After two reunions and two deposed, it indirectly caused the nine sons to compete for the throne. He was once the most beloved son of Emperor Kangxi. He carefully trained for forty years and placed high hopes, but in the end he was in vain!
YinrengBirth mother
Aisin Gioro Yinreng, mother Hesheli is the granddaughter of the regent Sony , and is the queen selected by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang for Kangxi. Although it was also considered a political marriage, Emperor Kangxi and Hesheli developed a deep relationship in getting along. She gave birth to two children for Kangxi. The first child died prematurely at the age of four. He became pregnant soon after he gave birth to Yinreng. He died of dyspawning at the age of 21 and was posthumously named Empress Renxiao .
book, the crown prince was appointed
so Kangxi loved this second son very much. When he was one year old, he appointed him as the crown prince and personally taught the crown prince of the country. When Yinreng was 5 years old, he unfortunately got smallpox. Everyone knows that this disease was a terminal illness in that era. The reason why Kangxi was able to become emperor was also related to his lack of smallpox and not dying. Kangxi turned down all state affairs and kept his beloved son for more than a month. It can be seen how deeply he loved him. It was not until the prince recovered that he started to attend court again, and he also specially worshiped the Taimiao and announced the good news to the people of the world.
Yinreng in the long river of the world
In the popular drama " Tianxia Changhe ", we can also see Emperor Kangxi's favor for this prince. He did not go to have sex with the queen on his wedding night, just because the prince wanted to sleep with him, he taught the prince knowledge himself every day, and even asked the Western missionaries who were following him to teach the prince Western learning. He would accompany the prince every day when he had time. Even the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang liked Yinreng very much. It was probably because of his love for the house and the Wuwu. The early death of his mother Hesheli gave him more favor. Even if the prince participated in the silt case in the end and used drugs with the palace maid, Kangxi only beat and scolded him without talking about decree and prosecutorship. Finally, he found a grand tutor for Yinreng to teach.
Soetu and Yinreng
Soetu are closely related to Yinreng. Soetu is Sony's son, and Yinreng's biological mother Hesheli is Sony's granddaughter, so according to seniority, Soetu is Yinreng's uncle and grandfather. It is precisely because of this relationship that Soetu has become a solid supporter and backing of the prince. In the drama "The World" in the Long River, we can also see that the only one who can ride a rope is the only one who can ride a horse. In the official history, Soetu was dedicated to supporting Yinreng ascending the throne as soon as possible. Then his status as a minister of the Dragon would definitely be stable and his family's power could be better developed. Emperor Kangxi was too difficult to control. If the prince was replaced in the dynasty, he would not have held it in his hands. At that time, he would have taken over the power. In the 42nd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Soetu was detained by the People's Government of the People's Government for "discussing state affairs and forming cliques and acting in absurd manner". A generation of power prime minister ended up starving to death.
Yinreng
In many film and television dramas, the image of Prince Yinreng is not very good. Prince Yinreng is proud, despicable, obscene, and threatens the imperial power. The image of a foolish and incompetent crown prince is vividly displayed on paper. Such a prince is not enough to calm the public's anger. I am sorry for the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty . So what is the real Yinreng in history like? Yinreng introduced Kangxi's personal teaching since childhood. When the prince was 6 years old, Kangxi invited Grand Secretary Tang Bin to teach him, and he would take time to take the exam for the prince every day. Yinreng got up very early every day like Kangxi, studied hard, was proficient in calligraphy, poetry and essays, and was able to ride horses and shoot archery with ease. He was taught by the last master in the world, and he studied hard, so how could he not be excellent?
Yinreng
early Qing Dynasty French missionary Bai Jin , once had a high evaluation of Yinreng in his book "Biography of Emperor Kangxi". Although it may be exaggerated, you can also learn from it: "The 23-year-old crown prince Yinreng has a handsome appearance but is majestic. He is a unique existence among the many princes. No one in the palace does not praise him. I believe that one day he will become a great monarch like his father." Although being praised by a Gentile is suspected of being criticized, it should not be too bad. In "Drafts of Qing History, Biography Seven, Kings Six", there are also texts recorded by the crown prince: "The prince is well-man and Chinese, and is skilled in riding and shooting, and he is lucky to follow the steps of the superiors, and he is very proud of his praise." This is considered a record in official history, and there should not be too much deviation. All of this proves that Yinreng is definitely not a mediocre person.
Why did Yinreng rebel
Yinreng is the longest-standing crown prince in history. He has been the crown prince for 37 years in total. He has been from a teenager to middle-aged man. It’s just that his father, Emperor Kangxi, is in great health. Yinreng also lost patience during this long wait, so he had some inappropriate thoughts. In addition, some external forces pushed it, so he became that thought, but how could he fight his father Kangxi and be extinguished in the bud. Yinreng experienced two deposed times in his life.
The first deposed
0 In the 47th year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi led the prince, eldest son, thirteenth son and fourteenth son to travel abroad. During the tour, the princes such as Yinzhi reported to Emperor Kangxi many of the bad behaviors of the crown prince. Although there were many false things, Kangxi had doubts in his heart. He believed that Yinreng wanted to share his rights. During this period, the eighteen sons, Yinlu and , suffered from acute illness. Kangxi was very anxious, but the prince was indifferent. This reminded him of the past many years ago. When the crown prince was 16 years old, Kangxi fell ill on his way out of the frontier, which made the crown prince and the third son welcome him. At that time, Yinreng saw the sick Kangxi and did not look worried at all. Kangxi was extremely disappointed, so he asked him to return to Beijing first. From then on, seeds were planted and there was a real grudge. On the way, I found that the prince was approaching his tent and peering into the gap at night, and suspected that the prince might want to "kill the rebels". Then the crown prince was deposed.
The second deposed
In the 48th year of Kangxi, the crown prince was deposed, and other princes began to fight for the throne. The conflicts between Emperor Kangxi's sons intensified. In order to ease the situation, Emperor Kangxi decided to make Yinreng the crown prince again. After the crown prince was deposed, Yinreng became abnormal and behaved madly. Emperor Kangxi suspected that he was possessed by a ghost. After all, he was a son who had been raising for more than 30 years. He must have feelings, and he regretted it. Later, Kangxi was seriously ill and invited the prince to the bedside. Every time he summoned him, his illness would be cured a little. The position of the prince was once again stable.
After the reinstatement, Yinreng was more keen on developing party forces than in the past. In the 49th year of Kangxi, the incident of the crown prince broke out. Many senior officials such as Shen Tiansheng, the Minister of Revenue, were arrested, and the secret planning of usurping the throne was also known by Kangxi. Kangxi denounced the prince: "Soetu helped Yi (the crown prince) to conspire to major events in the past. I know everything about it and executed Suetu. Now Yinreng (the crown prince) wants to avenge Suetu and form a clerk." This time Kangxi could not bear it anymore, and the other princes also took the blame. In the 51st year of Kangxi, on the day of Kangxi's inspection of the Great Wall, he announced to the princes that he would depose the Crown Prince Yinreng.
Yinreng's ending
Crown Prince Yinreng must have been deposed for his own reasons, but it also has a certain relationship with his father Kangxi. Since he was a child, Yinreng has lived in a very strict environment and has to be the first in everything, because he is the crown prince, and he must do better than others. Moreover, Kangxi favored him very much when he was young, so he created his arrogant personality and a little rebellious. He did some debauchery in private. Also, being the crown prince has been too long, which is actually a torment. It feels so uncomfortable that it is only a short distance from the throne but can never touch it.Another point is that the kings are very possessive, and when the crown prince publicly said, "How could there be a crown prince for forty years in ancient times?", the father-son relationship with Emperor Kangxi was destined to be unable to be restored. In fact, Yinreng posed a threat to Kangxi's imperial power. Once this kind of thought arises in my heart, it will be a matter of time before Yinreng is deposed.
Yinreng's ending was very tragic for him. Although Kangxi did not kill him, he imprisoned him. Although many court officials mentioned the reinstatement of the crown prince in the next few years, they were rejected by Kangxi. Until the fourth prince Yongzheng took office, Yinreng finally completed his 51 years of life and was posthumously named Prince Limi.
