The life of the character

Early experience

Yin Zhen was born in Yonghe Palace in the Forbidden City in the 17th year of Kangxi, and was the fourth son of Emperor Kangxi. Born to Princess Wu Yashi. Because his biological mother, Wu Yashi, was born in a humble background, she was not qualified to raise her son. In addition, in the harem in the early Qing Dynasty, biological mothers were not allowed to raise their sons, so Yin Zhen was raised by Tong Guifei after the full moon. Emperor Kangxi once commented that Yin Zhen was "moody" when he was a child, and at the request of Yin Zhen, he withdrew this research in the forty-first year of Kangxi (1702). Because of his impatience, his father Emperor Kangxi warned him "Don't be impatient, be patient". Yin Zhen traveled around with Kangxi in his early years. In the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi (1698), Baylor was sealed.

In the summer of forty-seven years of Kangxi (1708), Kangxi deposed Prince Yin for the first time. In the process of choosing a new prince, Yin Zhen supported the re-establishment of Yin Gui and maintained a good relationship with Yin Gui, the eighth son of the emperor.

In the forty-eighth year of Kangxi (1709), Yin Yong was re-established as a prince. In the same year, Yin Zhen was named Prince Yong. Here, in order to seek storage, the princes formed a private party, and the intrigue was extremely fierce. At that time, Kangxi's vassal status was both established and abolished, and there were many legendary doubts about Kangxi's vassal status. Yin Zhen is good at governing the country and knows how to keep a low profile. He respected Buddhism and Taoism, claimed to be "the first idle man in the world", kept in harmony with his brothers, kept close contact with Nian Gengyao and Longkeduo, and showed sincere filial piety to his father Kangxi, who drew Tibet on the map and won the trust of Kangxi.

ascend the throne

In the sixty-first year of Kangxi (1722), Emperor Kangxi died of illness in Changchun Garden in the northern suburb. He succeeded to the throne and changed his name to Yongzheng the following year.

After Yin Zhen proclaimed himself emperor, thirteen sons of Kangxi were put to good use, while eight sons of Kangxi were first appeased and made Prince Lian, and later they were banned and renamed as "Aquinas" (meaning fish to be slaughtered). Yin Jian, the ninth son of Emperor Kangxi, was sent to Xining, and was later banned and renamed "Seth Black" (meaning annoying person). I was banned by ten sons of Emperor Yinchan, and fourteen sons of Emperor Kangxi Yinzhen (Yunchan) were sent to guard the mausoleum first, and then were banned. Twelve sons of Kangxi were demoted, and three sons of Kangxi were also banned by the leather knight circle.

From the Yongzheng period, the discussion about Yongzheng's succession was endless. Although there is no conclusion on the legitimacy of the throne in the history circle, the popular theory of "ten changes" is not valid, because the existing Kangxi testamentary edict in the archives of Liaoning Province was drafted and promulgated after Yongzheng ascended the throne, not the original Kangxi testamentary edict, so it can't explain the problem.

Some scholars who advocate the theory of usurpation think that Kangxi died too suddenly and left no legacy, while Yongzheng and Longkeduo conspired to seize the opportunity; Some people think that Kangxi set up two deposed princes before his death, and it was frustrating to oppose Chu Jun. It was not until his deathbed that he chose the fourteenth son of the emperor as Chu Jun.

According to orthodox succession scholars, Yongzheng's accession to the throne is justified if there is no concrete evidence to prove that other princes belong to Kangxi. Moreover, the word "yellow" is usually added to imperial edicts, for example, it is said that the fourth son is located in Huang, so it is unfounded to change "ten" to "jade".

Reform state affairs

After he ascended the throne, he took various political measures to consolidate his throne. The first is to eliminate dissidents, divide and disintegrate the Prince Group, recall Yin Gui from the front line of the Northwest Army and ban him. Jinfeng named Yin Gui as Prince Lian and Minister of Prime Minister Affairs. Yin Yan was sent to West Datong, Qinghai (now northwest of Datong, Qinghai). In view of the fact that there was no effective storage system in Qing Dynasty, disputes often occurred in succession to the throne, so a secret storage system was established.

In the first year of Yongzheng (1723), he accepted the suggestion of Nuo Min, the governor of Shaanxi Province, and implemented measures of strict economy and fund-raising to increase the central fiscal revenue and limit local expropriation.

In the second year of Yongzheng (1724), in view of the serious shortage of money and grain in various places in the last years of Kangxi, Yong Zhengdi decided to conduct a strict inventory, immediately seized the property of corrupt officials, defaulted on the people, and ordered them to collect taxes in a short time.

In the third year of Yongzheng (1725), Yong Zhengdi ordered Nian Gengyao, the general of Fuyuan, to commit suicide in the name of bossiness and cronyism. At the same time, he cut off Kodo Pacific Insurance, and the latter circle was forbidden to die. Therefore, Wang Zhengwen's Western Expedition case and Justine's examination case were implicated.

In the seventh year of Yongzheng (1729), Zhang Xi, a disciple of Ceng Jing, instigated the rebellion of Yue Zhongqi, governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, which implicated the late Neo-Confucianism Lv Liuliang. Sejong then set up a literary inquisition as a means of controlling thoughts, cracking down on political enemies and improving authority. In the same year, in order to meet the needs of northwest operations, a military confidential room was set up (the military department was changed in the tenth year of Yongzheng), and important ministers were appointed to assist military affairs. Military ministers can only explain the emperor's orders, but have no right to praise the paintings, thus making the emperor more centralized. In addition to writing and playing books, he also ordered the governor to give secret reports to local officials in order to strengthen the emperor's control over local administration.

Yongzheng compiled some of his reviewed memorials into Zhu Pi Yu Yu Zhi. His letters to courtiers were compiled by Zhang and others into cabinet style and the Eight Banners of the Empire. His articles in various genres were compiled into the Royal Collection by later generations.

stop

In August of the 13th year of Yongzheng (1735), Yongzheng died suddenly because of overwork, because he died while reviewing the paper. It is said that Yongzheng died in Yuanmingyuan because he was superstitious about Taoist priests and ate too many pills. Buried in the Tailing Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty, the hall number is Sejong, and the inscription of posthumous title Jingtian Chang Yun Jian is Wu Yingming, Kuan Renxin, Yi Rui, Sheng Daxiao and Cheng Xiandi.
