The Son of Heaven in the Qing Dynasty

As for why Wei Xiaobao changed his mind to save Zhu Youtang, apart from his inner struggle and regret, it was also because of the appearance of a person, and this person was the most influential person to Wei Xiaobao besides Chen Jinnan and Kangxi.

This person is none other than Princess Changping of the Ming Dynasty who had been "dead for many years" and was buried in the princess tomb. The nickname is Ah Jiu.

When Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Chongzhen asked his wife and daughter to commit suicide, and personally killed her with a sword, but only broke Princess Changping's left arm, and Changping survived by luck.After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Chang Ping became a monk with the name of Nine Difficulties. Later, she accepted Wei Xiaobao as her apprentice.The Qing court always believed that both Princess Changping and Princess Zhaoren were forced to kill by Chongzhen, so they built the Princess Tomb out of political considerations.

Master Jiu Nan came to Wei Xiaobao to hope that he would save the life of his nephew, and this nephew was probably the only blood relative who was still alive.

Why do you say that, of course, because too many people have been implicated in the case of the third prince Zhu over the years. Kangxi worshiped Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, praised him for his rule of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and intended to subdue the people in the south of the Yangtze River through this move. In fact, it was Zhu Cihuan, the fifth son of Chongzhen, and his descendants who were chasing after him, and they were involved in many literary prisons.

Last year (April of the 47th year of Kangxi), Kangxi killed the family of Zhu Cihuan, who was renamed Wang Shiyuan, on the charge of impersonating the former Ming royal family. Zhu Cihuan's six sons, three daughters and one grandson were all slaughtered, and only the old son from the outer room Yang's family was also killed. The youngest son (Zhu Heyao, the protagonist's new identity after returning from a dead body) was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe because of his father Zhu Cihuan's help, and was rescued by the Tiandihui.Therefore, Zhu Cihuan, the third prince of the Ming Dynasty that Hong Shixun talked about, has actually been dead for more than a year.

Zhu Cihuan was not the prince appointed by the Ming Dynasty, but the third prince Zhu who was enshrined by those who under the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty.

As for how Wei Xiaobao and Yinzhen got Zhu Youtang out, in fact Yinzhen contributed the most. What he said to Kangxi was, what threat does a former Ming royal family who have lost their children and grandchildren pose to the Qing Dynasty?Since offering sacrifices to the Ming Dynasty can win over scholars and people in the south of the Yangtze River, wouldn’t it be better to "treat a real empress of the Ming Dynasty in captivity" to show that it is not the Qing Dynasty that is not benevolent, but another part of the descendants are against the Qing Dynasty all day long, and Xiaoxiao pretends to be the former Ming Dynasty? Rebellion against the royal family!Moreover, if Zhu Youtang accepted the reward from the Qing Dynasty, he would "betray" the anti-Qing righteous men who supported him. Who else would support him? Maybe those anti-Qing righteous men would hold high the banner of justice and kill Zhu Youtang.He is willing to personally guard Zhu Youtang.If Zhu Youtang commits a crime, he is willing to bear all the responsibility for the crime.

Yinzhen wanted Zhu Youtang to assist him wholeheartedly, but first cut off all the possibility of Zhu Youtang restoring the former dynasty, so that he must and could only be tied to himself.

Then why did Zhu Youtang cut off his children and grandchildren? Because Wei Xiaobao said that he was a heavenly eunuch, and he was inhumane. Kangxi had already asked doctors to "verify" him with extraordinary means.

That is to say, Zhu Youtang was actually singled out as an achievement of the Qing court's benevolence and justice, and the blame was placed on Li Zicheng, who directly destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and all domestic hatred was passed on to the dead Li Zicheng to ease the establishment of the Qing Dynasty. The conflict between Manchu and Han at the beginning.

Why are so many people against Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty?It's not that the previous Ming Dynasty made them so nostalgic, except for some of the Qing Dynasty's own policies, which reduced the vital interests of the Han people, and the Ming Dynasty Yuan, which expelled the Hulu and restored the old things of China.In the final analysis, the core of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty is not to restore the former dynasty but to strive for national interests.

Knowing this, it is not difficult to persuade Kangxi to keep Zhu and Yao alive.In the past dynasties, only the chief criminal was eliminated, and the pardon of the accomplices may have a similar purpose.

There is another reason why Kangxi was merciful at this time. He hoped that everyone would understand his nostalgia and kindness to restore the abolished prince (Kangxi 48) in a logical manner, so that Yinzhen's title of Prince Yong would not be so conspicuous.

The abolished prince was disliked by Kangxi because of his pampering and unkind brothers, and the eighth son disliked Kangxi because of his clique-mindedness.

Yinzhen's behavior is precisely Zhu Youtang's current name Dai Duo in the autumn of Kangxi 48, and also after the showdown between the two at the Yongwang Mansion, in order to protect Hong Shixun and himself and his suspected son Zhu Houzhao Honghui, Zhu Youtang relied on his own The experience and the status quo of nine sons seizing the throne during the Kangxi period gave Yinzhen ten strategies for seizing the throne, which was later also called Dai Duo Shiqi.

Yinzhen has always been openly denouncing these ten policies and accepting them secretly. No matter how hard he refuted them on the surface, he still implemented them one by one.It can be said that these ten strategies contributed a lot to Yinzhen's simplicity in the emperor's heart.And Zhu Youtang's position in Yinzhen's heart is improving day by day, he must be there.

Time flies, time flies, and it has been 50 years of Kangxi in a blink of an eye.

Zhu Youtang, who "recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan", was named a loyal king by Kangxi in the name of Zhu Heyao to show Kangxi's own benevolence. There will be no shameless traitors, and anti-Qing righteous soldiers will be ashamed to be with them.

It can be said that Kangxi and Yinzhen used such means to completely discredit Zhu Heyao among the anti-Qing righteous people.

Since ancient times, the leaders of uprisings have needed to gain reputation to gather their followers. Because Zhu Youtang accepted the reward from the Qing court, the possibility of rebellion by gaining reputation has been cut off by Kangxi and his son.

If Zhu Youtang is smart enough, he can only be his loyal and obedient king honestly, and devote himself to the Qing Dynasty until he dies.

Everyone said that Zhu Youtang was a villain who had no sense of shame because he had climbed a high branch. Only he knew that the main reason for his hard work for Yinzhen was only one person, and it seemed that he was still an invincible person——Honghui .

Kangxi bestowed Prince Zhongshun's mansion with the name of Rongchong, which was actually similar to a confinement guard. Apart from Prince Yong Yinzhen, the only one who could freely enter and leave Prince Zhongshun's mansion was Kangxi's favorite grandson Honghui.

This day is just after the Kaishan Festival, before the Laba Xiaonian, Hong Hui came to Zhongshun Prince's Mansion to look for Zhu Youtang.The two screened back and forth, and sat in the study relatively silent for a long time.

Honghui didn't speak until the tea in front of him was already half-cold: "I should have guessed that father (referring to Zhu Youtang) knew his son well. I showed his signs on the first day we met, but father just didn't open his mouth. Now The lives, honor and disgrace of father and son are all tied to him (referring to Yinzhen). My current status is my father's scruples. Only when he is kind to me can I be better. On October [-]th after the Kaishan Festival, another major event occurred in the court. In his book "Nanshan Collection", Zhao Shenqiao accused Dai Hanlin of being arrogant and irresponsible in his "Nanshan Collection". Mingshi is probably involved in the case of the Third Prince Zhu, and the emperor's handling of Dai Mingshi is probably a warning to his father."

If Yinzhen hadn't been drunk once, Honghui would not have been able to figure out Zhu Youtang's true identity.

Zhu Youtang's expression didn't change when he heard this, as if he wasn't surprised why Honghui knew.

"Dai Mingshi, like Hong Shixun, is a member of Zhu Cihuan, and also a helper who helped Zhu Heyao escape being punished. At first, seeing your habitual demeanor, I was just skeptical. I have been with you for so many years, so I am sure, according to..." The word Zhao'er was finally swallowed by Zhu Youtang. At this time, he could not add any more danger to his son.

That's right, Zhu Youtang has already guessed who Honghui in front of him really is, but his hesitation to recognize him is not because he misses or doesn't care, but because he can't recognize each other now.

Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao was the son of Zhu Youtang who had been treasured all his life. When the youngest son died, the eldest son was Zhu Youtang's only son.

"No, if it's just like this, the thirteenth son of the emperor wouldn't go to beekeeping for confinement. That day, what happened after his father (Zhu Youtang) followed him (Yinzhen) into the palace to thank him?" Honghui asked anxiously .

Zhu Youtang, who was still calm just now, turned pale when he heard this question. It seemed that Honghui's question had touched on the old events of the beginning of the year that he didn't want to mention in his heart.He was like a cat that had been trampled on, and his fur was about to explode.

It was the beginning of the 50th year of Kangxi, and Kangxi named Zhongshun King on the Shangsi Festival. I don’t know if he wanted Zhu Youtang to remember that he is now a eunuch, not a man.Because the Shangsi Festival is also called the Girl's Day.

Now that he is crowned king, whether Zhu Youtang is willing or not, he must follow Yinzhen to the palace to thank him.

Peach blossoms and snow paved the way in March, and it was still a little foggy in the morning.Yinzhen got out of the car at the gate of the palace, turned back and picked up the curtain of the car, those slender and well-knit hands stretched out in front of Zhu Youtang as a matter of course, meaning to help him get out of the car.

Zhu Youtang in the carriage froze for a while, and finally stretched out his trembling hand, knowing that he should restrain himself.

It was cold in March and Zhu Youtang's fingers were cold, Yinzhen just wanted to hold Zhu Youtang's hand to warm it up.

It is said that Prince Yong is cold-hearted, and he is not close to anyone except the thirteenth son of the emperor.In fact, Yinzhen has such a temperament, with clear love and hatred.Those who are kind to him will be repaid ten times as much as those who are close to him, and those who are against him will be repaid ten times as well.

In the past few years of getting along, Yinzhen has already figured out Zhu Youtang's temperament.On the surface, he is a person who holds gratitude but not hatred, and does not pursue the previous coercion and treatment.In fact, it's just that he lives too clearly, knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and only shows a pleasing appearance to avoid being missed by others.

Just like now, Zhu Youtang was obviously unwilling to let himself be helped out of the car, but he still endured it.As for how Yinzhen knew that Zhu Youtang was not happy, in fact, after getting along for a long time, you will find that when Zhu Youtang is holding back his anger, his lips are always tightly pressed, and his fingers will tremble slightly.

But Yinzhen knows that Zhu Youtang is not happy, but he still insists on doing this, so he wants to make an inch of it, and see how long Zhu Youtang can bear it.Living with trepidation every day, for fear of offending Kangxi is already very hard, Yinzhen just wants to be willful with Zhu Youtang for a while.

Under normal circumstances, people are always self-willed in front of those close to them, and only a polite disguise is left in front of those who are not close to them.It just so happens that in Yinzhen's eyes, Zhu Youtang is an intimate relationship that can be willful.

Because Yinzhen only wants to get more from Zhu Youtang, his heart is submissive, he is wholehearted, he cares, even if this kind of care is to annoy Zhu Youtang on purpose.

Therefore, Yinzhen warmed Zhu Youtang's hands while helping him get out of the car, and even imagined that he and Zhu Youtang would get along with each other through the strength of wine and the staff relationship as they did when they were in Prince Yong's Mansion last year (Kangxi 49). Yutang is closer.

Unknowingly, Yinzhen's self-righteous corporal has changed.

After entering the palace gate, Zhu Youtang followed Yinzhen without looking sideways, he was afraid that if he wandered around the palace for a while, he would be suspected of missing his homeland and harboring resentment.

When they arrived at Qianqing Palace, they were stopped by Wei Zhu, Kangxi's valet, who originally came to thank them.

It was a well-rounded young eunuch, from the looks of it, he was not as clever as Liang Jiugong, nor as loyal as Su Peisheng, he was just lovable.

When Zhu Youtang worked as Yinzhen's staff, he knew that there were two most powerful eunuchs in front of Kangxi, one was Liang Jiugong, and the other was Wei Zhu, who could be said to be Kangxi's confidant.But recently he had a close relationship with the Baye Party, and the ninth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, ordered his son to call the eunuch Wei Zhu uncle.

Now that Wei Zhu stopped Yinzhen and Zhu Youtang, he didn't know what to do.

----small theater----

Honghui: Sorry to steal everything from you, because you are just a younger brother.

Hongli: ...

Yinzhen: My performance today is still good. In the eyes of everyone, I am such a virtuous corporal lord, and I personally helped him out of the car.

Zhu Youtang: I believe in your ghost!

—————off topic—————

Although Dai Duo's ten revelations are important, I don't plan to write them in detail. After all, it is not the key point in the plot. If you are interested, you can Baidu.

In addition, Shisan was imprisoned for ten years, which is not recorded in Qing history, but now most people think that Thirteen was imprisoned for ten years because of film and television dramas and novels. Here, the author assumes that he was imprisoned for the plot.What's interesting is that the place where beekeeping is located was Anletang in the Ming Dynasty, which is the place where Xiaozong stayed when he was a child.

Zhu Cihuan died unjustly. The crime Kangxi drew up is really hard to describe. It is fake at first glance. If there is nothing wrong, who will pretend to be the royal family of the former dynasty? Is life too long?Princess Changping in history died of depression, and Mr. Jin Yong continued her life and changed her destiny.In fact, looking at it this way, the princesses of the Ming Dynasty lived well into the Qing Dynasty, and they were still able to survive, while the princes and princes were very miserable, because there were always people who wanted to pull them into rebellion or were considered by the Qing court to rebel.

In history, the fortunes of the previous dynasty were slightly better probably in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Three Kingdoms, and the Chai family in the Northern Song Dynasty (? Not sure). It may be because of relatives, abdication of the previous dynasty, etc., and they are afraid of being criticized.

The king Zhu Youtang is an established political achievement, because he has no heirs, and he has no prestige among the anti-Qing righteous people, which means that this king has no one to inherit, and he is so generous because he is still a living target.

King Zhongshun comes from Dream of Red Mansions, but it is impossible for Zhu Youtang to be the same as King Zhongshun in the Red Chamber.

It can't be said that Kangxi and his son did things absolutely, after all, they just have different positions.I have never thought that a romantic man is the correct way to open it up. It is impossible to live and die for one person, regardless of the country and society. The two male protagonists in this article are not such people.

They are impulsive and sensual sometimes, but not every day.They are affectionate and have the cruelty of an emperor.

Finally, to avoid confusion:

The protagonist's original name is Zhu Youtang, and his current name is Zhu Heyao. He once used a false identity called Dai Duo.

The author has something to say: The author of the spoiler does not follow common sense to play the cards, the little friends who can accept it love you more than my beloved!
