Introduction: Although the Manchu-Mongolian marriage is friendly, it is even more jealous of the traffic of Mongolian princes and princes. For example, the grandfather of the thirteenth son of the emperor, Yin Xiang, was also the Great Khan of Khalkha, so he lost the opportunity to become a great general and lead troops to the northwest to quell the rebellion. Because the Mongol princes had armies and territory, although the alliance flag system was implemented, there was still a great threat if they colluded with the prince to rebel. So at another time, if Kangxi asked everyone's opinion, the Mongol princes were scared to death and did not dare to speak. But this time it was Kangxi's questioning, coupled with the erroneous speculation of these princes, that made it clear who they supported. But what they didn't know was that once they opened their mouths, even if Yin Yu had no other obstacles, it would be enough for him to drink a pot.
The little cleverness of the Mongol princes
The Mongol princes' statement this time was obviously speculative, that is, they judged that the Eight Brothers were likely to be the future new prince, so they were anxious to burn the stove. Their criteria for judging are also very simple, and they generally extrapolate this conclusion based on two things.
First, during the rehe hunt, the Mongol princes came to see Kangxi as usual and gave gifts. Of course, this is not in detail, after the gift to the emperor was delivered, the Mongol prince took out a ruyi. Ruyi is not a casual gift, and a gift to the prince is not taboo. However, according to Kangxi's words, the prince was ill and could not submit it in person.
Second, under normal circumstances, if the emperor has something to do, he should send the prince to attend the appreciation banquet for the Mongol princes. But Kangxi still said the same thing: the prince was ill, so he asked the Eight Brothers to entertain the Mongol princes instead of Kangxi. At this time, the Mongol princes did not dare to judge whether the crown prince was really ill or whether there was a change in the position of the crown prince. So I plan to follow up politely first, and then watch the after-effects.
By the next day of hunting, the Mongol prince saw that the prince who was not sick had a number in mind. This is the purpose of their recommendation to the eighth son of the Emperor Yin Yu to take over as he wishes, and to make friends with the future prince in advance is also to burn the cold stove in advance.
Kangxi
At this time, poor Kangxi did not know the cattiness that Yin Yu had played in the trial of Xiao Guoxing's slaughter of the white goose, and after being disappointed in the prince this time, he did have the idea of examining Yin Yu. Therefore, this was the first reward for the title of prince of Lian County, and then let the eighth son of the emperor take on the role of entertaining the Mongol princes. However, when Tu Lichen returned to report, Kangxi realized that the Eighth Son of emperor, whom he regarded as a person who was deeply sensible, well-intentioned, and wise in his handling of affairs, was actually such a commodity. So angry and damned, his heart is reprehensible. This was the beginning of Kangxi's dislike of the old Eight Yin Yu, and the next time was when the hundred officials jointly recommended Yin Yu as the new crown prince.
Therefore, Kangxi was actually deceived by the Eighth Son of the Emperor in the "Xiao Guoxing" case this time, so he already regretted the reward for Yin Yu. But the feast he had given to the Mongol princes on behalf of Kangxi was over, but Kangxi did not want this misunderstanding to continue. Therefore, it is necessary to knock and beat the old eight and the prince, so the jade ruyi offered by the Mongol princes is used as a reward for the Rehe hunting.
While beating the Prince and The Eighth Elder, he conveyed a signal to Yin Chan by rewarding hongli
After the hunt, the thirteen brothers received the most prey, but the Mongol princes recommended the eight brothers to receive the reward on the grounds of good life. It was refuted by The Hongli calendar, which performed well but is not the focus of this article. Let's talk about Kangxi's considerations, the eighth son of the emperor, Yin Yu, must be beaten: on the one hand, he deceived the emperor in the Xiao Guoxing case; on the other hand, on the basis of colluding with the courtiers, there were signs of collusion with the Mongol princes. It is intolerable, in the Qing Dynasty the prince colluded with the ministers was already not allowed, let alone hooked up with the Mongol princes with armies. Therefore, Lao Ba must learn a lesson, which is one of the reasons why Kangxi borrowed Ruyi as a reward.
Secondly, the prince also needs a chance to knock and deter, and the crown prince of a country actually participated in the slaughter of the white goose for silver. This puts the prince on the edge of the precipice of being abolished, and the waste prince cannot be too abrupt and must let everyone be prepared. So the Hot River safari is a great opportunity. For the fourth prince Yin Chan, the father's reward for the Hongli calendar was indeed from the love of the successors. However, it also expressed to the courtiers Kangxi's different attitudes towards the four brothers.
When Kangxi announced that Ruyi would be owned by Hongli, the brothers and the Mongol princes unexpectedly added meaningful thoughts, which was Kangxi's approach of killing three birds with one stone.
I am the emperor of history, welcome your attention; if there is a flaw, the axe is right.
