At this time, the Kangxi Emperor was extremely disappointed in the eldest brother Yinzhen, and was full of extreme resentment.
Since Kangxi led the princes to Rehe for the Autumn Festival, the eldest brother Yinzhen's desire to seize the concubine had been slowly revealed, after all, at this time, the clear-eyed people could see that the prince sold the official and the lord when he chased after the arrears of the household department, and then his own criminal department in charge of the absurd unjust case of buying money for his life appeared, Kangxi was already more and more dissatisfied with the prince, and the eldest brother Yinzhen thought that he could take advantage of the situation to replace him.
Therefore, when Ling Pu led the troops to drive out without authorization, and was suspected of plotting breakfast by the crown prince, Yin Yu's performance was extremely active, frequently criticizing his brother as the eldest son of the emperor, and also brazenly saying in front of Kangxi that he wanted to kill Yin Rong in order to get rid of "qing father's worries". It can be said that the eldest brother Yinzhen has fully expressed his idea of taking the wife, and Kangxi has been greatly dissatisfied with this.
At this time, the three brothers YinZhi even reported that the eldest brother Yinzhen used "Nightmare Town" to curse the crown prince, at this time Kangxi was extremely dissatisfied with the eldest brother, plus when he heard that the prince's abnormal performance was all due to the great brother, he must also be extremely angry, so he cut the elder brother to the throne and imprisoned him for life.
Such a verdict shows two attitudes of Kangxi: first, he is no longer prepared to recognize this son; second, the eldest brother must pay the price he deserves for his disloyalty, filial piety, unkindness, and injustice.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Kangxi not only would not give the big brother a brazier to warm the big brother, Kangxi even hoped that the big brother would die in Rehe, so as not to go to all the troubles and troubles after that, after all, in Kangxi's view, the big brother Yinzhen was really the most evil and the most evil, and the sin was unforgivable.
Unlike the treatment of the Great Brother Yin, Kangxi locked up The Crown Prince Yinrong and the Thirteenth Brother Yinxiang, more to protect them both.
At this time, Kangxi already knew that the prince did not participate in the rebellion, and the so-called prince's edict was forged, but at this moment, Kangxi could not investigate and investigate it thoroughly. On the one hand, Kangxi was afraid that there would be any hint of anything again during this period, and then a new situation would arise that was unfavorable to the crown prince, and Kangxi could only put an end to it; on the other hand, this matter was originally a headless public case, and there was no way to investigate, and once it really involved too many aspects, not only could not solve the problem, but even the officials or generals involved might be "forced to rebel".
Therefore, at this time, Kangxi could only calm the whole incident by locking up The Crown Prince Yinrong and the Thirteenth Brother Yinxiang, and at the same time temporarily protecting the two of them in this way.
First of all, Kangxi used the method of imprisoning the two princes to calm the current public opinion. After all, ling pu and his troops surrounded the palace had become a fact, and before the truth of the matter was really investigated, Kangxi could only temporarily maintain the existing balance of the situation, and locking up the prince and the thirteenth master was the most effective way to stabilize the situation.
Secondly, this is equivalent to Kangxi isolating the two princes from the outside world, first, it can ensure the absolute safety of the two princes, and second, it can avoid the two princes from getting into new troubles and problems, and all problems and contradictions outside of this are solved by Kangxi himself.
Among these two, Kangxi was most worried about the thirteenth master YinXiang.
Once the Thirteenth Master knew that the oracle was false, he would inevitably be indignant, but it would make the situation worse, and it was more likely to be used by others, resulting in an irreparable situation, so Kangxi could only lock them up first.
Therefore, at this time, Kangxi did not put the hat of rebellion on their heads, for these two princes, although there was anger and anger, but more sympathy and pity, and at this time Kangxi's attitude towards the eldest brother Yinzhen was completely different, so for the crown prince Yinrong and the thirteenth master Yinxiang would not be so determined, so they would give them braziers to provide gas and heat, and also take good care of food and drink. It was only at this time that the thirteenth master was still the first to take the righteous word and gave his brazier to the eldest brother.
In the end, Crown Prince Yinrong was restored for Kangxi, and the thirteenth brother Yinxiang was also released by Kangxi.
Kangxi was not prepared to really dispose of Prince Yinrong and Thirteen Yinxiang Yinxiang.
Taking the opportunity of "a hundred officials recommending a new prince", Kangxi struck hard at the Eight Brothers Yinyu and the entire Eight Ye Party clique, and after this, he released the prince Yinrong and restored him, and for the "rebellion" incident in Rehe, it can also be regarded as rehabilitating the prince, but the prince's power is not as good as before.
As for the Thirteenth Master Yinxiang, Kangxi did not even imprison him in the Zongren Mansion, but in the Li Fan Yuan, after which the Thirteenth Master was released by Kangxi and arranged for him to be in charge of the Punishment Department, which can be regarded as a full affirmation and praise for his loyal spirit.
