Wei Zi became a prince.

The TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty" can become a well-known classic because it is full of power struggles, and the plots are one after another, which makes people's brains wide open.

Among them, the scene of Kangxi abolishing the prince is full of wisdom and strategy. After the abolition of the prince, the candidate for the new prince was pending, which led to many discussions among officials, so Kangxi asked officials to discuss and recommend the new prince. Kangxi asked the officials to recommend the new prince, for a more important purpose than stabilizing the imperial court. Among many counselors, only three people guessed Kangxi's mind: Tong Guowei, Wu Sidao and Zhang, all of whom were resourceful, and Zhang was the one who knew Kangxi's intention best.

Wu Sidao is an aide of Yin Zhen government, but his control and understanding of the court is no less than that of North Korean courtiers. Yin Zhen can please Kangxi. Besides being excellent enough, Wu Sidao's strategy also played a great role. He saw that it was only a form for Kangxi to let officials elect a new prince, and he would not decide the candidate for the new prince, because the final decision was still in Kangxi's hand, and after investigating the disobedience of the prince, there were grievances among the abolished princes. Someone was behind the scenes, asking officials to recommend the prince. But in order to find out who is behind the scenes, other princes will not be chosen. The candidate for the prince is likely to be a waste prince, and this time is not good. Therefore, Wu Sidao asked Yin Zhen and Huang Dijun to recommend Yin Ren as the new prince. First, it was the idea of Emperor Kangxi. Second, it made Yin Zhen temporarily avoid the edge.

Tong Guowei was an important minister of Kangxi. Among the three ministers studying in the library, Tong Guowei ranks first and is far-sighted. As can be seen from his night talk with Longkedo, Tong Guowei also understands that recommending a new prince this time is not Kangxi's real intention. As an old minister who has followed Kangxi for many years, he must know that Kangxi's choice of prince can't be made according to the wishes of courtiers, but he can't decide who is Kangxi's favorite prince, which may be the original prince Yin.

If Yin Gui, the former prince, is re-established, he will still be the target of many princes who participated in the struggle for the throne, and will be defeated again. Moreover, he is a die-hard supporter of Yin Gui in May, so he chose to vote for Yin Gui in May, but he didn't have full confidence in him, so he took this opportunity to choose the prince, laid out a big chess game, and burned eight by himself.

Besides Tong Guowei and Wu Sidao, another person who guessed Kangxi's mind was Zhang, and as a confidant veteran who followed Kangxi for many years, Zhang's guess of Kangxi's mind should be the most accurate.

Zhang did not stand in the team of the prince in the battle for the prince, but always stood on the side of Kangxi and did his duty as a loyal minister. Before Kangxi asked officials to recommend the new prince, there was an intriguing detail. Zhang found that there was something wrong with the prince's handwriting, so he reminded Kangxi. Then Kangxi suddenly realized that Zhang was eager to find out who forged it at once, but Zhang told him that he could not do it yet.

Judging from Kangxi's anxiety, forging the instructions of the prince to transfer troops is more serious than those crimes committed by the prince, so this matter must be clarified. As a trusted minister of Kangxi, Zhang only discussed such confidential matters with him. Therefore, Zhang also knows why Kangxi asked officials to recommend the new prince! It was a trap set by Kangxi to let officials recommend the new prince. The purpose is to draw out those who forged the prince's imperial edict and find out who is behind it. At the same time, I hope someone can take this opportunity to stand up and recommend the abandoned prince again, and then Kangxi will take advantage of the situation and give Yin Yong another chance. After all, he has been exercising by himself for so many years. In Kangxi's mind, the most suitable candidate for the prince is the original prince Yin Yong.

Finding out who is behind this is very simple. When an official recommends a new prince, he who benefits the most is the most suspected. However, if he wants to re-establish the abolished prince, he still needs a proper reason to withdraw his previous decision. After all, it is very important to abolish the prince. As the king of a country, the waste prince is no joke. In other words, Kangxi also needed a suitable step. As a confidant minister of Kangxi, Zhang naturally knew that Kangxi urgently needed someone to stand up and recommend the waste prince. Supporting the waste prince means supporting Kangxi. As a minister of study, making suggestions is quite weighty. Therefore, I have to stand up and recommend the abandoned prince Yin Ren as the new prince!

When the votes were sung in public in the imperial court, most officials recommended the ghost of May, and no one recommended the waste prince. Kangxi looked at the memorial in May with a dignified expression. He even asked in public if Mei Yingui was not recommended. At this point, I decided to take out my own paper, saying that it was the waste prince he recommended. Kangxi was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly showed himself Zhang's memorial and read a memorial in public. Zhang said in the paper:

The so-called unintentional evil, although evil is not punished. The prince's fault was caused by a heart attack. Fu Qi, your majesty, read the love between father and son, the way of Stewart. External treatment is delayed, and the disease is treated with Maifanshi; Teach from the inside and feel the heart with holiness. If we can make the prince healthy, cultivate his mind and be kind to others, it is not only the blessing of heaven, but also the blessing of all subjects in the world.

Zhang deserves to be regarded as an experienced counselor in officialdom. In the paper, he said nothing about the prince's great sin of disobedience. He evaded the important part and blamed all the faults of the prince on his heart disease. This reason is really too high, which not only covers up the ugliness of Kangxi, but also cleverly defends the waste prince. Everyone will get sick, just treat it. Therefore, the waste prince is still worthy of great responsibility!

Zhang's self-aging, understanding the monarch's thoughts and worries, won the favor of the emperors of Kang, Yong and Gan dynasties, and won the honor of enjoying the ancestral temple, which makes sense!
