"Yes, no one would agree with him becoming a monk as an emperor, so the ministers and their families are putting pressure on him, but Shunzhi is already a "dead man walking"."

"In 1661, under multiple pressures, Shunzhi became very weak and misfortunes never come singly, and he contracted smallpox."

"While he was seriously ill, he wrote down his posthumous photos and passed the throne to his third son, Xuan Ye, who would become Emperor Kangxi in the future."

"After doing this, Shunzhi will pass away at the age of twenty-four."

"Shunzhi, who was just a young man, left like this. Perhaps this was also a kind of relief for him."

"Shunzhi was an infatuated and dedicated person, and his love for Concubine Dong E was too deep."

"His life ambitions have not been expressed and his ambitions have not been fulfilled. He must be very painful in his heart."

"When I left, all the pain and suffering disappeared."

"Historical records may have been tampered with, but the preference between Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E is recognized by history."

"We generally know what Emperor Kangxi did after he ascended the throne. Emperor Kangxi is our Emperor Yongzheng. He is also a wise emperor. He has made mistakes, but his merits outweigh his faults!"

"Emperor Yongzheng was also a very capable emperor in history and a diligent emperor in history."

"Actually, he is similar to Li Shimin. I think he was only cruel by killing his own brother."

"Being born in the palace, there are a few people who have more power than family ties. How many have turned against each other for power? They have already started fighting. Can I spare the other party after I take over? Aren't I afraid of revenge?"

"If I really let it go, I would feel a bit like a holy mother."

"No matter how Yongzheng himself feels, not only his brothers can see his successes, failures, and losses clearly, but the world can also see it clearly."

"There are many reasons for his success. He is very good at hiding one's strength and biding one's time. Anyone who wants to stand out on the political stage doesn't know how to hide one's strength and bide one's time?"

"But no one can achieve excellence like him. The eighth prince Yinsu is not ostentatious and is famous for being "virtuous", but he has not hidden it from his brothers. All brothers know that he wants to be the emperor and is dreaming of an emperor. "

"And the fourth elder brother, Yinzhen, not only hid it from the brothers, but also made them not be on guard against him. He even hid it from his father, Kangxi, and even Kangxi, who had been in power for 61 years, was defeated by him. He is really "Crying to hide the truth".

"In his later years, Kangxi was wary of him and warned him, but after all, he did not have the real handle on him."

"Although, Kangxi took precautions against him in his later years. Whenever there was a major event, Si Age Yinzhen would be transferred out of the capital."

"For example, the 60th anniversary of the Kangxi Dynasty was celebrated."

"In the 61st year of Kangxi's reign, a grand celebration banquet (also known as the "Qiansou Banquet") was held for the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen in the Qianqing Palace. Even before the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen was about to return to Beijing, the fourth elder brother had been Yinzhen was transferred out of the palace, first went to Tong County to inspect the granaries, and then went to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices, but all these failed to control Si Age Yinzhen."

"The fourth elder brother Yinzhen was successful in keeping a low profile and biding his time. His unexpected, thoughtful and decisive actions were even more remarkable."

"The fourth elder brother Yinzhen became emperor. On the surface, it was a battle between brothers and the dark horse won. In reality, it was a battle between father and son. The corrupt son won. Kangxi lost."

"The fourth elder brother Yinzhen won the decisive battle, determined the outcome in one step, and won a complete victory."

"The fourth brother finally reached the sky in one step."

"Although Fourth Prince has been planning to make a fortune for many years, it only took him seven days to actually do it."

"Furthermore, Si Age didn't become the prince for a day. He skipped the crown prince and became the emperor overnight."

The reason why the brothers were dissatisfied with the fourth elder brother's coming to power was not actually because they were dissatisfied with winning or losing, but because they had doubts about the legality of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen's hasty rise to power. "     "In the eyes of all the brothers, it is unclear how his father Kangxi died, and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen is the only suspect. "

"Because only Si Age was by Kangxi's side that day, and there was no medical record of Kangxi's death."

"In the eyes of all the brothers, it is unclear how the fourth elder brother became the successor."

"Because the fourth elder brother has been with Kangxi for more than ten hours, but he can't produce any evidence that Kangxi wants him to succeed."

"When Emperor Kangxi was buried on the second night after his death, the cabinet, the Ministry of Rites, and the Hanlin Academy had no action procedures."

"It is Fourth Brother Yinzhen who talks, directs and acts by himself, calls himself the emperor and directs everything!"

"How can brothers accept this?"

"Whether it was in the eyes of the brothers or the public opinion at the time, it was recognized or tacitly acknowledged that the Fourteenth Prince was the successor carefully cultivated and entrusted by the old Emperor Kangxi."

"Instead of saying that public opinion sympathizes with the Fourteenth Prince, it is more appropriate to say that public opinion sympathizes with the old emperor."

"For the common people, it doesn't matter whether the fourteenth elder brother succeeds to the throne or the fourth elder brother succeeds to the throne."

"But for the old emperor Kangxi, the fourteenth prince was screwed by the fourth prince, and all the hard work that the old emperor Kangxi put into establishing a heir apparent was in vain."

"Therefore, Emperor Yongzheng's reputation for plotting against his father and usurping the throne was not only a lashing of Yongzheng by public opinion, but also a symbol of sympathy for the old emperor Kangxi's failure to establish the crown prince."

"Sir Brother Di's dream came true, he succeeded."

"But he didn't win hearts and minds."

"Perhaps this is the root cause of Emperor Yongzheng's infamy."

"And Fourth Brother is a person who puts his goals first and will do whatever it takes."

"In his eyes, public opinion is completely dismissive, which only increases the pressure of public opinion on him."

"This increase in pressure was not done by anyone, but it was caused naturally by Emperor Yongzheng's actions."

"For example, according to Yongzheng's own account, whenever he reprimanded Prince Lian the Eighth Prince in the palace, most of the officials in the court looked sympathetic to the Eighth Prince and did not side with Yongzheng. This is the most vivid example."

"This fundamental reason was not imposed on Emperor Yongzheng from outside. It was entirely caused by Emperor Yongzheng himself."

"Kangxi was buried in the Qianqing Palace, and his mother openly refused to give him face. She was extremely unsupportive politically and made him passive and embarrassed at every turn. He adopted the word "forbearance"."

"The problem is that when Kangxi was buried in the Qianqing Palace, the Empress Dowager launched a series of attacks on Si Age Yinzhen's imperial dream coming true."

"After a series of revolts, the Empress Dowager suddenly died without any illness."

"The Empress Dowager had no choice but to fight to the death. This became the Empress Dowager's last and biggest attack on Emperor Yongzheng during her lifetime."

"Therefore, word spread from the palace that Yongzheng forced his mother to do something."

"While the reputation of plotting against his father and usurping the throne had not yet been completely washed away, he quickly added the reputation of Yongzheng for forcing his mother to do so."

"This triggered Yongzheng's "humiliation and anger", and he even vented it on his brothers."
