History can't bear to look at the complete collection

Chapter 58 The Power Seizure Mystery 6
The Tragic Ending of Kangxi's Descendants
Kangxi had a total of 35 sons and 20 daughters. According to statistics from his grandchildren, there were 97. Kangxi had many heirs, but after a hundred years, he fell to the point where he almost lost his children and grandchildren.Who forced Kangxi to such an extent?A dignified generation of Mingjun, after his death, could not be peaceful. It was Kangxi's son Yongzheng who caused this situation.

The brutal and bloody side of Yongzheng is recorded in detail in the history books. He took the charge of tampering with the edict and went to the pinnacle of power. In order to prevent others from spitting, he solved the problem by killing.There are many rumors about the cruelty of Yongzheng. One theory is that Yongzheng's own mother was forced to death by Yongzheng.

Yongzheng's mother, Wu Yashi, had three sons: Yinzhen, Yunzuo (died early), and Yun.After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he imprisoned his brothers to prevent them from competing with him for the throne. Yongzheng's mother missed her son and wanted to visit him, but Yongzheng refused.

It is a rumor that Yongzheng forced his mother to death, and the credibility is not high, but there are historical data to follow when Yongzheng killed his brother. Forcing one's mother", "killing one's brother", "slaughtering one's brother", "greed for money", "love to kill", "alcoholism", "lewdness", "flattery", "letting a sycophant", etc., to defend oneself, Issue the world.He himself does not admit the killings he carried out, but history cannot be fooled. As the dust continues to settle, nothing that Yongzheng has done can't be hidden from the eyes of history.

After the news of Kangxi's death came out, the atmosphere in the Forbidden City was tense.The nine gates of the capital city were closed for 6 days, and the kings were not allowed to enter the palace unless they passed orders.In order to ensure that he would not be overthrown after he ascended the throne, Yongzheng carried out activities in the early Qing Dynasty one by one after Kangxi's death.There were 15 princes at the age of [-] that year, namely: Yongzheng's eldest brother Yunyu, second brother Yunfeng, third brother Yunzhi, fifth brother Yunqi, seventh brother Yunyou, eighth brother Yunyu, ninth brother Yunyu, The tenth brother Yunxuanwo, the twelfth brother Yunxuan, the thirteenth brother Yunxiang, the fourteenth brother Yunxuan, the fifteenth brother Yunxuan, the sixteenth brother Yunlu and the seventeenth brother Yunli.

These 15 people became thorns in Yongzheng's eyes, and he wanted to deal with them quickly.Yunfu had already been imprisoned because he was sacked in the power struggle earlier. After Yongzheng came to power, he did not relax his imprisonment at all.The second elder brother Yunfeng, the third elder brother Yunzhi, and the fifth elder brother Yunqi all died one after another after being imprisoned by Kangxi or deprived of power.The cause of death was recorded as illness, but several older brothers died one after another. It seems far-fetched to say that it was illness.

As for the outstanding seventh elder brother Yunyou, eighth elder brother Yunyu, ninth elder brother Yunyu, and tenth elder brother Yunyu, I have a better relationship and deeper friendship. They are regarded as thorns in the eyes and thorns in the flesh by Yongzheng.They also knew in their hearts that Yongzheng couldn't tolerate themselves. Among them, the eighth elder brother Yunhu was tortured even more because he expressed his dissatisfaction with Yongzheng, and was imprisoned and persecuted to death.The rest of the princes did not die well, and it is said that they were poisoned by Yongzheng.

The princes died one after another, and the remaining princes were naturally afraid of Yongzheng's brutality, even if they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to reveal it.The twelfth elder brother Yunyu, the fourteenth elder brother Yunyu, and the fifteenth elder brother Yunyu are no better than the previous princes. They are imprisoned and confined, and they live alone by guarding the mausoleum. They are not as superior as the royal children.

It is worth mentioning that the thirteenth elder brother Yunxiang, the sixteenth elder brother Yunlu, and the seventeenth elder brother Yunli, probably because of their deep concealment, they were not caught by Yongzheng, so they can naturally live in peace, but It is not easy to live under the fence of others and be in fear all the time.

Kangxi was wise and powerful, but he failed to protect his descendants from being safe.This is the greatest tragedy of the royal family.
