A fierce battle for the throne took place in the later years of Kangxi; the nine sons competed for the throne. After a fierce fight, the fourth elder brother Yin_, who seemed to have no fight with the world, won in the end. He inherited the throne for Emperor Yongzheng

After taking the throne, Yongzheng immediately showed his cold-blooded and ruthless side. Those brothers who had competed with him for the throne were imprisoned and given death. Death was a sudden death, without the heart of a Bodhisattva, and without any concern for brotherhood

And he only showed great favor to one person, and that person was his thirteenth brother Yinxiang. Yongzheng had the best relationship with Yinxiang, and he was the one he trusted the most

Among the nine sons who won the title of legitimate son, his thirteenth brother gave his fourth brother Yinxi the firmest support. For this reason, Yongzheng granted Yinxiang the title of hereditary and replaceable; Prince Heshuoyi

The so-called "hereditary and replaceable" title means that this title belongs to a handful of people in the Qing Dynasty who will never be demoted. The King of Hats, Yinxiang’s descendants can always pass it on

If no very serious crimes are committed, this hat will always be worn firmly on the heads of Yinxiang’s descendants

So, how did the title of Prince He Shuoyi be abolished later? This must be mentioned about the old lady Cixi who often wrote about it

After Yinxiang's death, the title of Prince He Shuoyi has been abolished. It was passed down among his descendants until it was passed to the fourth generation descendant Zaiyuan. The iron hat was removed by Cixi

Zaiyuan was left as an orphan by Emperor Xianfeng before his death; Gu Mingba One of the ministers. Together with the empress dowagers of Cixi and Ci'an, they assisted the young emperor

However, these eight people were pretentious and named themselves "Qixiang" in an attempt to evade the empress dowagers of the two empresses and Emperor Tongzhi and control the power of the government

Who is Cixi? How could she be willing to be subordinated and manipulated by others? So this ambitious woman came up with an idea, that is, to get rid of these eight guys with ulterior motives

At this time, Cixi was only 26 years old, but it was no wonder that she could have such iron-fisted methods. She dominated the political arena of the late Qing Dynasty for decades and remained standing

So Cixi, Ci'an and Prince Gong Yi_ jointly initiated the Xinyou Coup, and the rights of the eight ministers were lifted. The 46-year-old Prince Yi Zaiyuan was given a white silk ribbon to commit suicide

The hereditary and irreplaceable Prince Yi, who was personally granted the title by Yongzheng, was thus deposed by Cixi. Although Cixi later put on the title of Prince Yi again, the Qing Dynasty at that time was already crumbling and on the verge of destruction.

Let alone wearing an iron hat, what’s the point of wearing a gold hat!
