In "Yongzheng Dynasty", Prince Yin_can't hold up the wall with mud, so what kind of person was Yin__ in real history?

Kangxi’s Crown Prince Yin_ was the last publicly registered crown prince in Chinese history. In movies and TV dramas, Prince Yin_ was quite smeared. In fact, this was not the case with Prince Yin_ in history. This was just a film and television show. The artistic work of the play is required.

Because Yongzheng was the orthodox emperor in history, the winner was the king and the loser was the bandit, so Yongzheng became a positive example, and Prince Yin_ was the product of the final failure after all, so it is normal for the image to be relatively negative.

Prince Yin_ in history was actually considered to be both civil and military, and he had relatively good strategies for governing the country. At the beginning, it was not that he could not hold up the wall because of mud, but there were many factors that caused Prince Yin_ to be deposed. Among them, it is not simply Yin_'s own fault. Let's analyze Yin_'s ability and the factors that caused Yin__ to be abolished in history.

Prince Yin_ was of noble birth and both civil and military.

Yin_ had a very noble bloodline. His mother, Queen Xiaochengren, Hesheli, was one of the four great assistants left to Kangxi by Shunzhi. The granddaughter of Sonny, the head of the political ministers, the Hesheli family is a Manchu nobleman, so the Yinzhen bloodline is very pure and noble.

Yin_’s maternal uncle was the eldest son of Sony, the first-class Duke Gabula, who was also the minister of political affairs. Yin_’s maternal uncle, Gabula’s third younger brother, was Suo’etu, an important minister of the Kangxi Dynasty.

Yin_'s mother's family was very powerful politically in the Qing Dynasty, so Yin_ was established as a prince since he was a child.

Emperor Kangxi was actually the emperor who attached great importance to his family in history. He loved every son and daughter very much. It can be said that even a good emperor was also a loving father. Among them, Kangxi In particular, he loves his legitimate son Yin_ the most.

Furthermore, Kangxi paid special attention to Yin_’s education and hired famous teachers to teach him since he was a child. In this high-quality educational environment, coupled with Kangxi’s excessive emphasis on Yin_’s education, it is impossible for stupid people to become one. mud.

So in the early days of history, Yin_ was not only a muddy prince, but also a good prince who was both civil and military, had great magnanimity and had a relatively good reputation.

Of course, Yin_’s good reputation was mainly before he was deposed. After he was deposed, Yin_’s mentality collapsed and his whole person changed greatly. Therefore, when he was established as the prince again, Yin_ had already been replaced by his father Kangxi. He became somewhat mentally disturbed and became more and more surly and irritable, so in the end Kangxi couldn't bear it and deposed him again.

Before the first deposed prince, Yin_ was very handy in handling government affairs and during the period of supervising the country. He handled the affairs in an orderly manner, which was very consistent with Kangxi's ideas.

Before he deposed the crown prince for the first time, Kangxi and his son had a very deep relationship. Kangxi must write to Yin_ every time he went out.

When Kangxi suffered from malaria at the age of 40, foreign missionaries suggested that Kangxi take cinchona cream. Prince Yin_ was very anxious and repeatedly blamed Suo'etu and other ministers for their carelessness. Cinchona cream is not harmful to the human body. He took cinchona cream on the spot. Only under such circumstances did Yin_ dare to feed cinchona cream to Kangxi.

When Kangxi personally conquered Galdan twice, it was Prince Yin_ who was supervising the country. Yin_, who was only 22 years old, handled every detail of the affairs very securely, and then asked Kang Xi for instructions. , and was praised by Kangxi.

In addition to these, Kangxi also allowed Prince Yin_ to interact with European missionaries. The grace and magnanimity shown by Yin_ during his interactions with European missionaries impressed Europeans who regarded themselves as gentlemen. To this day European historians also believe that the Yin Dynasty was a very outstanding crown prince in Chinese history with the style of a great country prince.

From these circumstances, it can be shown that Yin_ did a relatively good job in terms of outstanding ability, character and filial piety to Kangxi during the period when the prince was in charge of the country. Then the question is, since Yin_ is so Okay, why did Kangxi abolish him?

The first reason why Yin_ was deposed: His ambitious brothers slandered him behind his back

As mentioned above, Kangxi was a loving father, and he treated his sons very well. He was very pampered and pampered, and he attached great importance to the education of each of his sons, cultivating them in both civil and military skills. It can be said that Kangxi's older sons received the best education, and all of them were capable of both civil and military skills. .

Kangxi cultivated their abilities to be very comprehensive and powerful, and then allowed them to participate in the political affairs of the state, which undoubtedly fueled their ambitions for the crown prince position.

Especially Kangxi's eldest son Yin_, Yin_'s half-brother also had a certain background in the maternal family. Yin_'s maternal uncle was Nalan Mingzhu, another important minister during the Kangxi period.

It is precisely because of this relationship between Mingzhu and Yin_, Yin_, with the support of Mingzhu, pays close attention to Prince Yin_'s every move, so Yin_ has the ambition to seize the crown prince since he was a child.

Yin_ specializes in staring at Yin_'s mistakes every day. No one can be better than a sage. It is impossible for Yin_ not to make mistakes every day. Once he makes a mistake, Yin_ will report it to Kangxi with added embarrassment.

After all, Yin_ is also the son of Kangxi. Over time, no matter how deep the relationship between Kangxi and Yin_ is as father and son, they cannot withstand another son's provocation.

Kangxi's biggest failure was that he gave all his sons great power, which deepened the conflict of interests between the princes and the princes. This was because he failed to handle the relationship between the princes and the princes well.

Since the Ming Dynasty became the founder of Zhu Di, the kings have always been kings

"The princes do not come to the people, and they live in emoluments but do not manage things." In other words, although the princes of the Ming Dynasty were crowned kings , but most of them were wealthy and idle princes, with no power and no management of government affairs. In this way, although the Ming Dynasty established a prince, it did not allow other princes to participate in politics and also eliminated the ambitions of other princes.

But Kangxi is different. Kangxi is

"He is responsible for the internal affairs and the external leadership." Kangxi's original intention was to cultivate his sons well like Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Then unite under the prince, give full play to the instinct of "family and world", and let his sons and brothers work together to govern the country.

Kangxi’s original intention was to train his sons to be assistants to help him govern the country, but in the process of training, his desire for power and wealth increased in them. This is not based on the will of Emperor Kangxi, nor is it determined by the subjective will of the crown prince.

After the princes came of age, they were granted the title of World Lord, allocated the population, established palaces, set up official offices, handled internal affairs, and led troops externally. Their respective personnel "protect their masters" and even gather party members.

For example, when Yin_ was deposed for the first time, the main trigger was that while Yin_ was accompanying Kangxi on hunting, he slandered Yin_ in front of Kangxi day and night. In addition, Yin_'s previous faults accumulated. As a result, Kangxi broke out completely and abolished Yin_.

So Kangxi's doting on the princes also caused one of the reasons for the destruction of Prince Yin_.

The second reason why Yin_ was deposed: Yin_ also had problems himself, and he was also doted on by his father Kangxi

Yin_ was overall a qualified and capable crown prince, but This does not mean that he himself does not have problems, he does have certain problems himself.

Of course, his problem still lies with Kangxi. This is really in line with the famous saying that it is the fault of the father who fails to raise him.

Because his mother, Empress Xiaochengren, died of dystocia when Yin_ was born, Kangxi personally raised Yin_ during his childhood, and Kangxi doted on him excessively.

Kangxi tacitly allowed Suo'etu and other close officials of the prince to give Yin_standards that were almost equivalent to the emperor's flags, honor guards and crowns. Every year on New Year's Day, Winter Solstice and the three major festivals of Qianqiu, the civil and military ministers had to kneel three times and kowtow to Kangxi. , and also perform the etiquette of kneeling twice and kowtowing six times to Yin_.

And the emperor's name has been taboo since ancient times. In Kangxi, even the name of the prince's son was also taboo. When Kangxi realized that Mingzhu's party was a great threat to the prince, he decisively eliminated Mingzhu and his party members.

These all made Yin_ more and more inflated. At that time, Yin_ was basically equivalent to the deputy emperor, which also allowed Yin_ to form a strong political force around him.

The most important thing is that Kangxi was very strict with himself, but very indulgent with Yin_Yin_Yin_Yin_’s East Palace expenses were many times more than Kangxi’s every year. It can be said that Kangxi tightened himself. He took the money out of his belt and gave it all to his son.

At the same time, Kangxi was very protective of his son. No matter what mistakes Yin_ made in the beginning, Kangxi would tolerate him. No matter how big a mistake Yin_ made, Kangxi would never think that his son was at fault. It was the people around his son, so when Yin__ made a mistake, Kangxi's approach was to blame the people around the prince. He believed that it was the villains around the prince who instigated Yin__ to make the mistake.

Kangxi has been going on for so long, and by the time he became the deposed prince, he had doted on Yin_, who was quite famous in his early years, and turned him into an arrogant and violent person step by step. The gentlemanly demeanor in his early years has disappeared and he has become surly. He was irritable and began to be unpopular.

As a result, Yin_'s power became more and more powerful, and he himself gradually became more and more violent, and a relatively strong political force formed around him. Therefore, Yin_'s character became more and more dissatisfied to Kangxi, and his Political power also made Kangxi more and more disgusted.

In fact, it was Kangxi himself who caused this, because his excessive doting on his son caused his surly character and also gave him a lot of power.

Since ancient times, princes have rarely been involved in government affairs. Most of them learned to handle government affairs from the emperor's father. However, Kangxi's doting on Yin_ greatly involved Yin_ in politics. In addition, Kangxi treated Yin_ The excessive pampering of Emperor Xuanzong led to the formation of the second power center of the imperial court after the imperial administration, which conflicted with Kangxi's imperial power.

Kangxi loved his son, and he also loved power even more. The prince had a strong desire for power under Kangxi's teachings since childhood, so the prince's excessive power also threatened Kangxi's imperial power. So who should Kangxi choose between power and his son? History proves that Kangxi still decided to choose power.

Written at the end

It is undeniable that Kangxi was a very accomplished emperor in history, but he failed very much as a father. Since ancient times, loving mothers often lost their sons, but in Kangxi's case, he was a more loving father. Loser.

Yin_ actually had a very hard life. He had no mother since he was a child, and he also met a father who doted on him, so he changed from a good-mannered and magnanimous gentleman to a surly and violent villain.

After deposing the crown prince, Yin_'s mentality completely collapsed. After he was restored to power, Yin__ became even more serious than before. Kangxi also felt guilty, but the big mistake had been made and he could not Recovered.

This can be seen from the fact that after the crown prince was deposed for the second time, Kangxi still refused to establish a crown prince. Later, many important ministers with high prestige in the court, such as Wang _ and others, persuaded Kangxi to re-establish Yin_ as crown prince. Yin_ still had a certain degree of prestige and reputation in the minds of the courtiers at that time.

From all of this, we can see that Yin_ is not without merit, and mud cannot support the wall. He is the product of Kangxi’s education failure. Kangxi also deeply blamed himself and regretted it in his later years, but it is no longer useful. .

So when Kangxi was dying, he repeatedly told his successor Yongzheng to treat his second brother Yin_ kindly after he succeeded to the throne. Moreover, the last edict issued by Kangxi before his death was to confer the title of prince to Yin_eldest son Hong_. This shows that Kangxi always cared about Yin_.

A loving father not only ruined his son, but also ruined his son's life. Therefore, what happened between Kangxi and Yin_ also tells us that modern parents who blindly pamper their children and give them more material wealth will only end up with nothing. Harm them and make them become people like Yin_.
