In the Yongzheng Dynasty, crown prince Yinrong had an unrequited relationship with his father, Zheng Chunhua, a concubine of the Kangxi Emperor, so much so that Zheng Chunhua was pregnant. The two were directly bumped into by the Kangxi Emperor during the Rehe Autumn Festival, so that they attracted the wrath of the Kangxi Emperor, and the crown prince Yinrong also became a little delirious because he was worried about Kangxi's blows. With such an unfilial act, coupled with the fact that Yin Rong had done nothing politically before, and was corrupt and perverted the law and betrayed officials, Kangxi was already extremely disappointed in him, and even more he thought that he was embarrassed by his great responsibility, and finally chose to depose Yin Rong as crown prince.
In fact, throughout the history of the Qing Dynasty, there was no "ambiguous scandal" between the prince and the concubine, but just like the yin in the play, it is true that there is no such thing in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
In the history of the Qing Dynasty, the most famous ambiguous scandal between the prince and the concubine originated between Nurhaci's second son Daishan and the eldest concubine Uranara Abhay.
In the fifth year of the Mandate of Heaven (1620), One of Nurhaci's youngest, Deinze, denounced Nurhaci three inclinations about The Great Concubine Abbahai:
First, The Grand Concubine Abahai secretly gave Dai Shan and Huang Taiji food, and Huang Tai Chi was "received but not eaten", while Dai Shan was "received and eaten", and was very happy;
Second, The Grand Concubine Abhay has carried Nurhaci to Daishan's house many times, and has dressed up gorgeously at parties many times and has also come and gone with Daishan's eyebrows;
Third, The Grand Concubine Abbahai had left the palace several times late at night, and her whereabouts were unknown.
Upon learning of this, Nurhaci investigated the situation and summoned Daishan and Abhay to confront him, and the result was that what Deinze had done was true, and Daishan and Abhay also confessed to it.
From the perspective of later historical development, Abhay should belong to the active side. On the one hand, Nurhaci had already left his last words, entrusting his wife and young sons to Daishan after his death, and Abahai wanted to get closer to Daishan in advance for the sake of the future of himself and his three sons, namely Azig, Dorgon, and Dodo. On the other hand, it is the successor that Nurhaci has confirmed in this era, and he is also the great baylor of the "four great baylors", who still holds two red flags in his hand, and his identity, status, and strength are very outstanding, and Abhay is also considering the future of his three sons, and he is also trying to win over Daishan.
Daishan, due to political immaturity, did not consider the consequences of this, and eventually because of his informality, he was caught by people, which became an important reason for being deposed as the crown prince by Nurhaci. At the same time, it has to be said that according to records, Abhay and Daishan are similar in age, and their appearance is outstanding, the charm is charming, and Daishan is also difficult to resist the charm of Abbahai, which also makes Daishan difficult to extricate himself.
However, the relationship between the two is only in the ambiguous stage, that is, the stage of throwing a wink at each other, eating a meal and chatting, and not like the prince Yin Rong and Zheng Chunhua in "Yongzheng Dynasty", but this has already caused Nurhaci's level of anger, and Daishan has paid a tragic political price for this.
And this seems to have become an isolated case in the history of the Qing Dynasty, even throughout the history of China's feudal dynasties, such as the "mother-daughter love affair" between Wu Zetian and Gaozong Li Zhi, it is also a handful, very few.
From the perspective of the system of the Qing Dynasty at that time, it was impossible to have such an incident as Prince Yinrong and Zheng Chunhua.
In fact, in the palace prohibition system, the Qing Dynasty also had extremely strict restrictions on the movement of the prince in the palace.
First of all, after the crown prince's big wedding, he must move out of the palace.
Secondly, the crown prince was not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned by the emperor or his birth mother.
Again, the palace has strict access times every day, and it will close at the end of the day.
Finally, the garrison and management of the palace was managed by the minister of the interior of the imperial guard, and was directly under the emperor's orders.
It is precisely because of the existence of the system that even the crown prince cannot be avoided.
The residence of the crown prince YinRong was Yuqing Palace, which was not within the palace, and all the princes, including Yin Rong, also moved out of the palace after the big wedding and lived in their own independent residences. Of course, there were two exceptions during the Kangxi Dynasty, the Eldest Brother Yinyu and the Fourteenth Brother Yinyu, after the big wedding, the Kangxi Emperor still allowed them to live in the imperial palace, but only residence, does not mean that they can move around at will.
Crown Prince Yin's biological mother, Empress Xiaochengren, died at the time of her birth, so if Yinrong wanted to enter the palace, he had to be summoned by Kangxi to the designated place through the introduction of the guards, and after completing his official duties, he would be escorted out of the palace by a special person and would not stay in the palace.
Of course, some people may say, will there be collusion between the prince and the guards? This incident was basically impossible to happen to Crown Prince Yinrong, and after the crown prince became an adult, several ministers who served as guards included Tong Guowei, the kangxi emperor's uncle and father-in-law, and Ah Ling'a, who was also Kangxi's brother-in-law, were very opposed to the crown prince Yinrong, and they all had bad relations with the prince, and they would definitely not allow the prince to come in the palace.
Therefore, in the "Yongzheng Dynasty", the plot of the private meeting between the prince Yinrong and the Kangxi empress dowager Zheng Chunhua did not appear in the real history and would not appear.
