History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

Cao Cao: No, I'm not worthy!

Zhu Di: In terms of lust, Emperor Kangxi was indeed superior.

Qin Shihuang: This should not be the main reason. There should be something more outrageous.

"Yes, this is not the main reason. In fact, Emperor Kangxi died of a sudden illness. It is my guess that he died due to excessive indulgence in later generations. It was just that Kangxi suddenly fell ill and died in Changchun Garden, so I made this assumption. It’s a mess, don’t overthink it, we will only have records in later generations that Kangxi died of illness.”

Li Longji: Died in Changchun Garden?Is this because of overindulgence and physical failure?

Kangxi: Ahem!possible!
Zhao Gou: Emperor Kangxi, you think so yourself!Ha ha!

"I don't know much about the death of Emperor Kangxi, so I won't go into details. I will talk about the real reason why Emperor Kangxi became so mediocre in his later years."

"First, the battle for the throne, the Nine Dragons fight for the throne."

"It is very similar to the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The disaster of witchcraft occurred in the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the later years of Emperor Kangxi, many incidents also occurred. These incidents directly caused the impression of Emperor Kangxi in people's hearts to drop by a notch."

"Not only Emperor Kangxi, but many emperors in history showed mediocre behavior in their later years."

"For example, Qin Shihuang, in his later years, pursued immortality blindly, which resulted in no heir apparent. In the end, many princes were killed by Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin."

"The most familiar thing about Emperor Kangxi is that nine sons took over the throne. No matter which dynasty in history, the eldest son was almost always established as the crown prince. However, the rules of the Qing Dynasty were not like this. In the later years of Emperor Kangxi, the crown prince was replaced by two Under such circumstances, the other princes were eyeing the throne."

"At the same time, it directly led to the beginning of the Qing Dynasty's nine sons seizing the throne. Emperor Kangxi's deposing of the crown prince was definitely not a good performance. After the crown prince was abolished, Emperor Kangxi did not immediately establish a crown prince. As a result, every prince began to get ready to make a move, which resulted in the princes killing each other. , Emperor Kangxi saw his own flesh and blood."

"In my eyes, this cannot be entirely blamed on Emperor Kangxi. The succession of the dynasty has always been a big problem. Historically, it can be said that this is a difficult problem to solve."

"Emperor Kangxi had been on the throne for decades. In order to maintain the balance of power, he would inevitably support the other princes and suppress the prince. This led to brotherly fratricide, and even after the subsequent emperors succeeded to the throne, they were still affected by it."

Li Shimin: This problem does exist in every dynasty, and mine is no exception. I can generally understand what the situation is. The two princes like me have made such a profit, and Jiulong seizes the heir, which is a mess.

Qin Shihuang: Nine princes competed for the throne. This should have a direct impact on a country!
"Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty to Shunzhi's entry into the customs, there has been no talk of establishing a prince during the old emperor's lifetime. This has led to the situation of brothers fighting each other every time the old and new thrones alternate."

"At that time, Emperor Kangxi had 24 sons, nine of whom participated in the fight for the throne. The nine sons were: the eldest brother Aixinjueluo Yinti, the second brother Yinreng, and the third brother Yinzhi , the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, the eighth elder brother Yinzhen, the ninth elder brother Yinzhen, the tenth elder brother Yin, the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang and the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen. In the end, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen won and succeeded to the throne after the death of Emperor Kangxi , became Emperor Yongzheng."

"Emperor Kangxi made Yinreng the crown prince after the queen gave birth to her."

"In the 15th year of Kangxi's reign, Kangxi made his second elder brother Yinfeng the crown prince (2 years old). From then on, the crown prince became arrogant and arrogant and formed a clique for personal gain."

"Kangxi killed Suo Etu in the 42nd year of Kangxi, and the relationship between father and son became tense." "However, because Emperor Kangxi reigned for too long, this led to frequent conflicts between Yinreng and Kangxi. For this reason, Kangxi He also deposed Yin Reng as the crown prince twice."

"In the 47th year of Kangxi's reign, at the Burhasu Palace in Mulan Paddock, Emperor Kangxi announced that the crown prince Yinreng would be deposed on the grounds that he "violated the virtues of the ancestors and did not follow my instructions, but only abused the public and committed lewdness". I started coveting the throne."

"The crown prince was abolished, and Kangxi did not immediately announce the establishment of a new crown prince. This caused Kangxi's other sons to peek at the crown prince's position."

"In addition, nine of Kangxi's sons are relatively outstanding candidates, and they all feel that they may be candidates for the crown prince."

"The eldest brother Yinti was the eldest son of the concubine. He was never liked by Kangxi. Knowing that there was no hope, he proposed to Kangxi that the eighth prince Yinti should be given to him. The reason was that "the warlock Zhang Mingde would be rich if he met him", and he also said that he would kill him on his father's behalf. Yinfeng made Kangxi extremely chilled, severely reprimanded him, and at the same time put him on strict guard against Yinhu."

"Yinhu was raised by the eldest brother's mother, Concubine Hui, when he was a child, so the eldest brother had a better relationship with him. At this time, the third elder brother Yinzhi revealed that the eldest brother was responsible for harming Yinreng in Nightmare Town, and Kangxi imprisoned the eldest brother. .”

"This led to overt and covert fighting between the brothers. It was an incompatible situation, and the brothers began to fight each other on the sides."

"Kangxi was disgusted with Yinhu's collusion with Yinti, so he also imprisoned him and later released him. In March of the 48th year of Kangxi's reign, he restored his status as crown prince Yinti."

"At the end of the 50th year of Kangxi's reign, the defendant prince formed a clique with Qi Shiwu, the Minister of Justice, Tuo Heqi, the commander of the infantry, and Geng E, the Minister of the Ministry of War, for personal gain."

"In September of the 51st year of Kangxi's reign, he once again issued an edict to depose the prince. From then on, the deposed prince was imprisoned until his death. Seeing the chaos, the third elder brother Yinzhi took the initiative to withdraw from the competition."

"After Yinfeng was deposed again, the eighth elder brother Yinsu turned to support the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen (the fourth elder brother had the same mother and brother). The ninth elder brother Yinzhen and the tenth elder brother Yin vassalized the eighth elder brother Yinsu."

"Thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang vassalized fourth elder brother Yinzhen. After the prince was deposed for the first time, Yinzhen dared to speak good words for Yinzhen. He belongs to the princelings."

"After Yinfeng was deposed for the second time, Yinzhen saw that there was no possibility of Yinfeng being re-established, so he began to form cliques for personal gain and peek into the reserve."

"At this time, two major forces were formed: the Fourth Ye Party headed by Yinzhen and the Eighth Ye Party headed by Yinzhen."

"In the 61st year of Kangxi's reign, Emperor Kangxi died of illness in Changchun Garden. At that time, the [-]th elder brother Yinzhen supported by the Eight Lords Party was far in the northwest, and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen stayed in Beijing."

"The infantry commander of Kangxi's close ministers - Longkodo announced that Kangxi's will declared that Yinzhen would succeed to the throne and be the Yongzheng Emperor. The contest between the nine sons ended with Yongzheng's victory."

However, after Kangxi died and Yongzheng ascended the throne, he began to kill his brothers. "

"The reason why this kind of fratricide occurred is all related to Kangxi's hesitation to abolish the crown prince."

"After Yongzheng ascended the throne, in order to prevent the recurrence of the tragedy of brothers fighting for the throne, a secret system of establishing princes was implemented. Princes were no longer publicly appointed. The emperor wrote an edict and placed it behind a large and bright plaque in the Qianqing Palace. It was not until the emperor's death that his descendants could Open and declare the heir.”
