Kangxi Ascended the throne at a young age, and with the support of everyone, he cleared his political obstacles. During this cleaning process, Kangxi withstood strong comprehensive pressure. It is precisely because of the enemy that he has his life as a highlight legend.

However, in Kangxi's later years, it was because of physical reasons, which caused many problems, especially the problems of corruption had reached an uncontrollable point. In addition, Nine Sons Fight for the Throne The Qing Dynasty was at a critical moment of crisis.

Emperor Kangxi was later recognized as a good emperor once in a thousand years, but it was not perfect in his later years. How do these reasons cause ? During the process of fighting for the throne by the Nine Sons, watching his descendants who were crippled with flesh and blood, why did Emperor Kangxi start a massacre?

Soetu What did the elite of the empire do in the late years of Kangxi, and so that he starved to death in the prison? Yongzheng Why did you express your determination to Kangxi and write down the proof of usurping the throne?

The crisis of the Qing Empire

Emperor Kangxi developed a lot of skills through the turbulent political struggle in his early years. Whether it was governing the country or grasping the direction of the country, he adopted elite management methods throughout the process, realizing the rise of the Qing Empire.

However, Emperor Kangxi in his later years did not defeat the biggest enemy in his life, that was himself, indecisive in the dethronement of the prince, which was not as decisive and resolute as the highlight of the emperor of the ages.

Crown Prince Yinreng was originally very respected, and his civil and military skills were basically comparable to those of Emperor Kangxi. But Yinreng may be a little dull in terms of human nature and worldly style.

Once, Kangxi was sick and didn't know how to comfort him. Another time, the 7-year-old 18th prince was sick while following Kangxi's patrol. Kangxi was very anxious and anxious, but Yinreng was very indifferent to this matter, so Kangxi concluded that the prince was not loyal to him.

At this time, he reminded him of his beloved Queen Renxiao, who died of heavy bleeding after giving birth to Yinreng. So Kangxi gave all his love to the born prince and directly appointed him as the crown prince. Thinking of these Kangxi still suppressed the anger in his heart.

Yinreng did not realize that his situation was already very dangerous. During Yinreng's decades of career as a prince, he rarely did anything that made Kangxi dissatisfied.

However, because Kangxi was spoiled since childhood, Yinreng was arrogant in his personality and did not take anyone seriously. Over time, he made too many enemies in the court, and many bad reviews lingered in Kangxi's ears.

In his twilight years, Kangxi also began to have suspicious suspicion. Once Yinreng visited the palace at night and was seen through the crack of the door, he did not give Yinreng any explanation. He directly determined that it was a crime of rebellion and locked up Yinreng.

Nine Sons Fighting the Throne

0 After Yinreng was locked up, Kangxi wanted to quickly re-enthrone the crown prince and maintain the stability of East Palace , but what he did not expect was that the matter of re-enthrone the crown prince was in an extremely dangerous situation before the dust was settled.

The prince was deposed and the party was in panic, especially the princely members were deeply rooted. Soetu was Yinreng's grandfather, and Soetu was the important official who assisted Kangxi and was in power. This faction began to be uneasy and could lead the prince out of the mountains and break out of crisis at any time.

The eldest son Yinzhen's backer was his uncle and grandfather Mingzhu. The dispute between the "Suoming party members" was actually an open and secret battle between the eldest son and the prince's party members. After the prince was deposed, the eldest son faction began to take the initiative and was in a favorable position in fighting for the throne. At this time, the Eighth Prince also began to jump up and down and gathered forces and began to get ready to move.

At this time, Kangxi suddenly felt an unbearable trend. In his early years, he turned a blind eye to some small profits from civil and military officials.

But after he deposed Yinreng, he found that corruption reached an irreversible situation, the treasury was seriously deficient, and it was urgent to stabilize the current situation and take an immediate action in punishing corruption.

However, if the competition for the reserve rank continues like this, it will not only be difficult to do major things, but it will also cause turmoil in the government and the opposition, and the foundation of the Qing Empire may be shaken. For the sake of the country, he ordered the reinstatement of the crown prince Yinreng, hoping to temporarily ease the various contradictions caused by the battle for the throne.

In this way, the eldest son Yinzhen instantly became the disadvantaged party from the advantage, and after Soetu was re-activated, the opposing party-minded faction was completely liquidated.

Yinzhen withdrew from the prince's struggle early, but after Yinreng was reinstated, his psychological shadow arose due to his previous abolition, and his nerves began to appear abnormal.

The princes' desire for imperial power made Kangxi very afraid, but he found that the fourth prince Yinzhen had many highlights.

Kangxi was also very worried at this time, not only afraid that his imperial power would be fought for, but also afraid that his rights would not be passed down. However, when he was in trouble, he not only found that Yinzhen was not only very capable, but also that his very smart son was very much loved by Kangxi.

At this time, Kangxi began to have new plans. He was very worried about the current situation of the nine sons fighting for the throne, so he asked Yongzheng if he had ever thought of becoming the crown prince and becoming the emperor. Yinzhen immediately knelt down and expressed his loyalty, and immediately wrote a guarantee letter without the idea of ​​usurping the throne.

At this time, Kangxi began to feel that Yinzhen had a certain courage and courage, especially the corruption that might ruin the Qing Dynasty The corruption of the country needed a ruthless person like Yinzhen.

At the same time, he felt that Yinzhen's son Aisin Gioro Hongli was a rare genius. Kangxi believed that Aisin Gioro Hongli was the hope of the future empire.

So Kangxi decided to make Yinzhen the crown prince at this time. Kangxi knew that he was in his late years and began to lead Yinzhen to inspect various places and gave him a difficult task, which was to fight corruption with an iron fist. Later, after Yinzhen inherited the throne, he launched the anti-corruption policy of cutting off his arm, allowing a cancer that could destroy the Qing court to be eliminated.

After Yinreng was deposed for the second time, he was imprisoned in prison. Soetu, the first pillar of the princeling, was starved to death. This kind of nine sons fighting for the throne eventually became a drama where the mantis stalks the cicada and oriole are behind. Yongzheng, who did not show his ambition, became the crown prince and eventually inherited the throne.

Because the tenth prince and the fourteenth prince survived Yongzheng in prison, they were pardoned by their good nephew Qianlong after Yongzheng died. The final end of this crisis in was also due to Kangxi's choice, and Qianlong became the successor of the empire as he wished.
