As the first "iron hat prince" in Qing Dynasty, Huang Aixin, the thirteenth son of Emperor Kangxi, has an absolutely unusual position in history of qing dynasty. This prince, who was neglected by Emperor Kangxi for more than ten years, was given unparalleled favor by Yong Zhengdi, who succeeded him, the day after Emperor Kangxi died: he was appointed Minister of Prime Minister Affairs and awarded the title of Prince.

In the eighth year of Yongzheng, Huang Tianyou, the gracious prince who worked hard for the imperial power of Yongzheng, died. Yong Zhengdi's calligraphy tablet "Loyalty, Honesty, Diligence and Honesty" was hung on the mourning hall, and it was evaluated as "a good king who has never been so loyal to the monarch since ancient times", and made specific instructions on the succession of the title of prince headed by Andrew:

Hong Xiao, my brother's son, wrote an article attacking Prince Feng Yi. This book will be handed down from generation to generation and will be replaced forever. No matter what kind of favor I have given my brother, future generations must not be arbitrarily reduced.

In addition to the eight "iron hat kings" who were knighted for their outstanding achievements at the beginning of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Hongfa was the first person to accept the gift from the "iron hat king" during the "Shoucheng" period of the Qing Dynasty. This record was kept for 130 years, and was not broken by Prince Gong Yixin until the late Qing Dynasty.

Andrew, the thirteenth son of the emperor in history, is not a brother born with the army as interpreted by Yongzheng Dynasty. Due to the cold shoulder of Emperor Kangxi for more than ten years, he did not give effective assistance to his fourth son, Yin Zhen, during the change of imperial power in Kang Yong. Needless to say, when the second prince was abolished, he was banned by Emperor Kangxi for ten years. However, in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, when Prince Yin Renxian was abolished, Andrew was really banned for a short time because of the "second brother's involvement" and lost the favor of Kangxi.

Huang Hongfa was born in the Forbidden City in the 25th year of Kangxi. His biological mother was Zhang Jiashi, and his son, Yi Yun, was named Jingmin Guifei by posthumous title, Yong Zhengdi. Although Zhang Jiashi was born in a coat family and was not knighted in Kangxi Dynasty, he always existed as an ordinary princess, but he gave birth to two women and one son for Emperor Kangxi. Judging from the fact that she was hunted by Emperor Kangxi after her death, she should have been favored by Kangxi.

According to the records of the sages in Qing Dynasty, during the ten years from the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi to the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi took Huang Tianxiang with him every time he went out on patrol. In the forty-first year of Kangxi, Andrew, aged 17, was specially arranged by Emperor Kangxi to sacrifice to Mount Tai, which was beyond the reach of other emperors.

According to the records in Qing Chao, from birth, Prince Qing arranged related matters in strict accordance with the age node. "At the age of six, he prepared a small crown, a small robe and small boots to stand in the class and teach him to go to school; Twelve years old, fluent in Manchu, teaching Manchu; Fourteen years old, teaching bow and arrow riding and shooting; Married at the age of sixteen or eighteen. "

In other words, Andrew was so loved by Emperor Kangxi at an early age, largely due to his excellent performance in studying in the upper study room. According to relevant historical records, Huang Hongfa is good at writing, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and he is "good at riding and shooting, and his hair will be successful". It is clearly recorded in Records of the Holy Father of Qing Dynasty that Huang Hongfa's calligraphy couplets attracted courtiers "all rejoiced and admired"; On the way to hunting with Emperor Kangxi, there was a situation of "hand-blade tiger".

In the forty-third year of Kangxi, an abandoned prince was implicated. In his correspondence with He Chao, a servant of the Eight Emperors, he once mentioned that Huang Hongfa was "favored by the emperor and had a bright future". Judging from Emperor Kangxi's love for Huang Hongfa 47 years ago, even if Emperor Kangxi had no intention of placing high hopes on him to inherit the throne, he would inevitably be repeatedly sealed with a golden seal and entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi deposed Yin Geng, who had been a prince for thirty-three years, on the grounds of "disobeying the virtues of his ancestors, disobeying my orders, abusing the masses, and being violent and promiscuous", and at the same time banned Huang Dijun. At that time, the Records of the Holy Father of Qing Dynasty and even the Notes of Kangxi Mansion did not clearly record the reasons why Huang Tianxiang was banned or even the details before and after, so that the Qing Draft did not mention anything because there was no quoted information.

After Yong Zhengdi succeeded to the throne, there was a subtle explanation for this matter: "Prince Yi was innocently involved in the second brother incident, offended Emperor Gao for a while, and then learned from it", but the specific reason why Huang Anjun offended Emperor Kangxi has not been explained.

Based on the detailed study of relevant historical documents, the author thinks that Andrew was banned by Emperor Kangxi for no reason, which should be directly related to Yong Zhengdi, or because of Yong Zhengdi. There are two reasons:

1, Yong Zhengdi artificially deleted the records of the Qing Dynasty and the Holy Father.

In the Records of the Holy Father in the Qing Dynasty, there is a clear record of the punishment of the princes involved in the "Prince was abolished for the first time". The eldest son of the emperor was "deprived of his title and imprisoned" because of the incident of "killing the prince with Lama Bachangyan"; Yin Zhi, the third son of the emperor who was close to Yunyong, did not instigate him to do evil, so he was not guilty. Even Yin Zi, the eighth son of the emperor who was abolished by Prince Yunyong, was "accepted Baylor as an idle imperial clan"; Even Huang's nine sons and Huang's fourteen sons have related records; Why was Huang Tianyou, the thirteenth son of the Emperor who was so favored, banned, but there was no clear explanation?

This shows that the reason why Huang Hongfa was sent is not that Emperor Kangxi did not give an explanation, but that Yong Zhengdi deliberately sheltered him for some reason. If Yong Zhengdi is deliberately defending Andrew's positive image, why did he mention it several times after he succeeded to the throne? Therefore, the reason why Huang Hongfa was banned should be directly related to Yin Zhen, the fourth son of the emperor at that time, or that Huang Hongfa took the blame for Yin Zhen, so it would be so difficult.

Yong Zhengdi gave it to Huang Tianxiang to make up for it.

In the first year of Yongzheng, after Andrew was appointed as the head of the household, Yong Zhengdi once gave Andrew a huge bonus, which is clearly recorded in the draft of Qing Dynasty, Biography of Seven Kings and Six Kings:

The imperial examination is respectful and clean, and the family is empty, which is well known throughout the country. Since I became emperor of the empire, I have tried my best to be a minister and brother. In the past, brothers were enfeoffed, each with 232,000 yuan of money and grain. I gave this example, and I made many speeches. I applied for it four more times, and only received130,000.

Now that Yong Zhengdi has made it clear that the reward reason is "honest, poor family planning, which is well known throughout the country", why must it be named as the old example of Kangxi Dynasty, and why must it be given according to the sum of the gifts received by the prince before? And make it clear?

This is clearly Yong Zhengdi's compensation for psychological guilt, and it is clearly the real reason why shattered glass and Huang Tianxiang were banned. During the eight years of Yongzheng Dynasty, Huang Hongfa was only "loyal, sincere, honest, diligent and honest", but his gift to Yong Zhengdi was "not subject to firm words". Is this just Huang Hongfa's "wearing my brother with all my heart"? Perhaps self-protection is the real reason for Huang Hong's speech. Perhaps, the lesson that Kangxi Dynasty was banned was the real reason why Huang Hongfa was cautious, respectful and loyal.
