After Yongzheng ascended the throne, people have always said that Emperor Kangxi did not die of natural causes, but was killed by Yong Zhengdi. Is that really the case? Let's review the history.
Judging from Kangxi's words and deeds in his later years, Yin Gui, not Yin Zhen, was the object of his plan to establish an heir.
According to records, after hunting in Nanyuan, Emperor Kangxi was still photographed in Changchun Garden because of his "Divine Bow" (Lost Sense of Justice). With the aggravation of his illness, he died on the evening of November 13th in the sixty-first year of Kangxi (1722). The death of the emperor attracted people's attention at that time. This is not because people feel the kindness of Emperor Kangxi, but because of the sudden enthronement of Yong Zhengdi and Yin Zhen, the rise and fall of fourteen sons of Emperor Yin Gui in the political arena and the imprisonment of years, which has questioned the death of Emperor Kangxi, and its echo has been passed down to this day. Generally speaking, there are two main viewpoints: one is natural death, and the other is the murder of Yin Zhen, the fourth son of the emperor.
Therefore, when people discuss the cause of death of Emperor Kangxi, they discuss it together with Prince Kangxi's struggle for national salvation.
There was no pre-appointment system in the Qing Dynasty, and "those who have virtue ascend to the top." On December 13th, 14th year of Kangxi, Michelle Ye was the first to establish Yin Ren as the Crown Prince. Later, he was deposed in September, 47, on the grounds of "extravagance", "tyranny and fornication" and "perversion of language, which made him crazy and easy". In March of 1948, he was re-established as the Crown Prince under the pretext of "although he was killed by the town, he has gradually recovered". Finally, in October, 1950, Yin Geng was deposed and imprisoned under the pretext of "increasing wildly, overstepping violently and disorderly" (A Record of the Holy Father of Qing Dynasty). In fact, Emperor Kangxi abolished the establishment of the Prince twice, mainly because of the increasingly serious intrigue between the Prince and the princes in order to consolidate and compete for reserve forces. However, after the waste storage, the covetousness of the governors did not disappear. Who will inherit the throne of the Qing Dynasty? Emperor Kangxi racked his brains for this, but he has never officially announced the candidate.
Therefore, the death of Emperor Kangxi in this context will naturally lead to discussion.
First, let's listen to what his successor, Yong Zhengdi Yin Zhen, has to say. He said: On the 6th day of Kangxi1year1month13rd, "Emperor Gao ordered the Prince, Prince Chunyou, Prince Achina, Prince Sai Edward the Black Prince, Prince Yune, Prince Yi Yunxiang and former Yuan minister Long Keduo to go to the royal tattoo, and said. He wasn't there at that time. When he came to Changchun Garden, "the emperor told the enemy that the symptoms were getting more and more ... at night, Yulong was a guest ... Longkeduo was the testament of the emperor's assessment." Yin Zhen was appointed to the throne. In this way, Emperor Kangxi died of natural causes, and it was only natural that Yin Zhen ascended the throne. At that time, Xiao's "Yong Lu Xi 'an" said that when Emperor Kangxi died, he "gave the rosary to Prince Yong". North Korea's A Record of the Li Dynasty is more specific. Emperor Kangxi "freed the pearl he was worried about and said,' This is a gift from the emperor shunzhi on his deathbed. I gave it to you now, so I know if I intend to keep it. Unofficial history Daguan in Qing Dynasty did not agree with these records which proclaimed the legitimacy of Yin Zhen's succession. In fact, it is doubtful whether this matter is detailed.
At that time, some people thought that Emperor Kangxi wanted to pass the throne to Yin Gui, the fourteenth son of the emperor. As a result, Yin Zhen and others tampered with the testamentary edict, poisoned Michelle Ye and became emperor himself. For example, "The Mystery of the Great Justice" once recorded some sayings: "The emperor's holy ancestors originally passed on the fourteenth elder brother, and the emperor changed the cross into the word." In "The Disease of Kangxi", "The purpose of calling Yin Gui into Beijing is that the dragon can hide, Yin Gui can't reach, and the dragon can pass the decree and stand today". Even the Lee Dynasty of Korea congratulated Yin Zhen's ambassador to Deng Jigong on his return to China, and pointed out: "Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, or an imperial edict came out.". Ceng Jing made it even clearer: "The Emperor Saint Zu was seriously ill in Changchun Garden, and the emperor entered a bowl of ginseng soup. I don't know why, the emperor's holy father collapsed and the emperor acceded to the throne. " In other words, Emperor Kangxi was poisoned.
Meng Sen, a historical expert in the early Qing Dynasty, also expressed deep doubts about the death of Emperor Kangxi. Through the analysis of the literature, he thinks that the plot of Kangxi's death in Yin Zhen was caused by Yin Zhen's "internal work is due to Longkeduo, external work is due to missing the church" (Volume II of Historical Records of Ming and Qing Dynasties). Wang Zhonghan also believes that the statement that Emperor Kangxi was murdered to death in the article "Examination of Seizong's Taking Official Office in Qing Dynasty" is not a fabrication, and asserts with the record witnessed by Italian Ma Guoxian: "The dusk of death, the sound of howling and anxiety, even if it is not poisonous, will suddenly change greatly." (miscellaneous examination of Qing history)
In recent years, it has been emphasized that the death of Emperor Kangxi and the succession of Yin Zhen "was a palace coup backed by force, carefully planned and skillfully arranged", and it was "Longkeduo put a deadly poison in medicine or food" that killed Emperor Kangxi (Series 4 of Qing History).
According to the theory that Emperor Kangxi was murdered to death, some people think that this can't stand scrutiny. Because Emperor Kangxi trusted Yin Zhen very much before his death, it is entirely possible that he died at the last moment of his life. His death is normal, because he has been ill for a long time and there are other symptoms caused by a cold. Moreover, Emperor Kangxi himself "dare not treat ginseng lightly" and his security is tight, so it is difficult to poison him with ginseng soup (Journal of the Palace Museum, No.3, 198 1).
In short, the debate about the cause of death of Emperor Kangxi has been going on for more than 200 years. Whether he died of illness or poisoning needs to be further explored at that time and the authenticity of historical materials.
Kangxi levied three salaries on galdan in his early years to pacify the northwest territory. But for decades, its tribal separatist ambitions have not disappeared. 1in the spring of 954, the Qing dynasty made a major decision to enter Junggar in the west and began to send reinforcements to the northwest. If you can make contributions to the northwest battlefield, which the old emperor attached great importance to, you will undoubtedly increase your weight in establishing the reserve team.
In the autumn of the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi officially appointed Yin Gui as General Fuyuan, showing great appreciation for Yin Gui.
As the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, Manchu nobles always advocated martial arts. The founding emperors were all killed from the battlefield. Based on this idea, Emperor Kangxi was actually creating opportunities for Yi Yin to make contributions and paving the way for him to ascend to the throne smoothly.
In his later years, Kangxi paid great attention to cracking down on the emperor's nepotism. It was under this circumstance that the rampant emperor Yin Gui was suppressed. But Kangxi ignored another man who coveted the throne-Yin Zhen, the fourth son of the emperor. On the surface, he has a straight face. In fact, he has snared Nian Gengyao and other local dignitaries. At the same time, Long Keduo, a trusted minister around the emperor, is also his best friend. And all this, Kangxi did not know. The last few days of Kangxi's life were spent under the "protection" of Long Keduo, and the situation in these days can be imagined.
196 1 year1month 12 night, under the strict control of Changchun Garden and with the assistance of some eunuchs in Michelle Ye, Long Keduo poisoned medicine or food for Kangxi. After the drug attack, although Kangxi did not die immediately, he was in a serious coma. On the one hand, Long Keduo tightly blocked the news, on the other hand, he called his ministers to Changchun Garden, and then told Michelle Ye that he was "critically ill". Then they participated in the care and rescue of Michelle Ye, which was actually a disguised house arrest. Therefore, Michelle Ye's "critical illness" was not known to the royal family and the Manchu military commanders that day. This is to paralyze Yi Yin, other members of the Yi Yin Group and the cronies of the abandoned Prince Yi Yin, so as to prevent them from being alert and ready to counterattack.
On the issue of inheriting the testamentary edict, Long Keduo promulgated it only after the death of Michelle Ye. This completely surprised everyone, and it was a bolt from the blue for Yin Gui and Yin Gui, which made the princes resentful but helpless. Since Roncodo is from Yin Zhen, his so-called "legacy" is the most beneficial to Yin Zhen. At that time, not only princes and ministers had doubts about Kangxi's "testamentary edict", but even West Renye Fang was skeptical about Michelle Ye's death. The Italian Ma Guoxian's record of Kangxi's death is: "The dusk of death, the sound of howling, and the uneasy heart are harmless and will suddenly change." In addition, what Yin Zhen did after he acceded to the throne also made people wonder whether he committed the crime of the throne. During the reign of Yongzheng, he did not live in Changchun Garden, where Kangxi lived before his death, and allocated huge sums of money to build Yuanmingyuan. I haven't been to the summer resort that Kangxi must go to every year, and even my own tomb has left Malanyu, JD.COM, to build another Xiling in Yixian, Jingxi, hundreds of miles away.
Yongzheng's plot to usurp the throne was disgraceful, but as an emperor, he deserved it. During his thirteen-year rule, he cleaned up the bureaucracy, eliminated cronies and punished corruption, so that the neglected political affairs in the late Kangxi Dynasty could be rectified, thus establishing a unique and innovative imperial government. Thanks to the great efforts of Yongzheng, under the rule of his successor, Qianlong, China experienced a prosperous scene, which lasted until18th century.
