Zhao Chang, as Kangxi s attendant eunuch and confidant, why did Yongzheng execute him?

Zhao Chang is Kangxi's attendant eunuch and confidant, so he is destined to see more things than ordinary people see, that is to say, he is the person closest to Kangxi's true thoughts。And Yongzheng ascended the throne, perhaps this confidant knows more things than the world, who does the emperor want to pass on the position to, and what the emperor really thinks. These things that can't be seen or touched are hidden deep in Zhao Chang's heart, so this may also cause Yongzheng to have to kill it.

Ancient kings often had a series of events in their old age in which their princes competed for the throne. There are so many bloody events in history that have occurred because of the struggle for the throne。Emperor Yang of Sui killed his father before succeeding to the throne.

And Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty killed his two brothers to succeed to the throne. Among the various incidents of seizing the heir, the nine sons who appeared in Kangxi's later years are undoubtedly one of the most thrilling ones. <>

Everyone knows that Yongzheng is the winner in this battle for succession. But as everyone knows, this war for succession is also the most controversial war in history. Therefore, the strangeness in this may be that Yongzheng didn't want others to know too much, so he hurriedly killed this person who might know the truth.

Soon after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he hurriedly cleared out some of the subordinates of the remaining princes, and began to form a new imperial court, and in his subsequent political career, he has been diligent in governing the court and governing the country. Whether he won this war on the basis of conspiracy or above board, Yongzheng's contribution to the Qing Dynasty is undoubted, Yongzheng continued the prosperity before Kangxi after his accession to the throne, and during his thirteen years of reign, he has always been a Ming monarch, laying the foundation for the prosperity of Qianlong.

Because Zhao Chang was the first emperor's person and confidant, Yongzheng was afraid that he would be embarrassed everywhere, so he executed the eunuch.

Maybe it's because Zhao Chang knows Yongzheng too well, so Yongzheng is afraid that Zhao Chang will betray him in the future, so he will definitely not be safe.

Because Zhao Chang, as Kangxi's attendant, was in a hostile relationship with Yongzheng, Yongzheng wanted to execute him.

Although Zhao Chang was a close confidant of Emperor Kangxi, Yongzheng thought that he was suspected of disrupting politics, and in the Qing Dynasty, there was zero tolerance for eunuchs to disturb politics, so Yongzheng put him to death.

Because Zhao Chang, as Kangxi's confidant, knew too many things, and knew that Yongzheng had tampered with the holy decree, which was a major event, so Yongzheng was worried that he would spread the matter and be known by others, which would have an impact on his throne.

Zhao Chang, as Kangxi's attendant eunuch, was specially responsible for conveying the holy decree for Kangxi, and many of Kangxi's secrets would be handled by Zhao Chang. It may be related to Zhao Chang's true intention to pass on the throne and some of the inside stories of the nine sons seizing the throne, otherwise Yongzheng, who inherited Datong, would not have killed an old eunuch in such a hurry.

Because Zhao Chang is Kangxi's personal eunuch, he knows some insider information that many others don't know, and it is even related to Yongzheng's accession to the throne, so of course he has to be executed in order to prevent the secret from being leaked.

In the sixty-first year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi died of illness, and left an edict on his deathbed to let the fourth elder brother inherit the throne, which was the later Yongzheng Emperor. The next day, as soon as Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, he ordered that Zhao Xian, the eunuch who had served Kangxi for many years, be executed immediately, and Zhulian the nine clans, so the question is, Emperor Kangxi is obviously still cold, why did Emperor Yongzheng have to execute Zhao Chang in this special period, and it was all over the house? In fact, it's just that he knows too much.

The records of the eunuch Zhao Xian are also very vague so far, and we can only find some clues from the records of Kangxi's royal painter, the Italian missionary Ma Guoxian. When Emperor Kangxi died, Zhao Chang's position in the palace was probably the head of the Internal Affairs Office, or the chief eunuch of the Yangxin Palace, otherwise he would not have known these secret histories in the Qing Dynasty palace. Judging from the records of foreigners, the crime committed by Zhao Chang is even more strange, because in normal times, this kind of crime will not kill Zhao Chang at all, so what kind of excuse did Emperor Yongzheng find?

According to the records of this foreigner, Zhao Chang mainly committed three major capital crimes: first, the eunuch Zhao Chang once secretly planted eyeliner around Emperor Yongzheng, monitored Emperor Yongzheng's every move, and leaked the news to some people with bad intentions; Second, Zhao Chang was so bold that he secretly entered the son of the abolished prince Yinren and made a fire sickle, obviously he had the ambition to help the abolished prince regain the throne; Thirdly, he stole five thousand taels of silver from the treasury without permission. In the end, Zhao Chang was beheaded by Emperor Yongzheng on the grounds of "stealing treasury silver" and announced to the world.

According to conventional legal theory, even if Zhao Chang steals the treasury silver, then Zhao Chang only needs to return the silver to the emperor, and it is not a crime of killing the head, and the crime of the first two days is even more nonsense. Therefore, there is no doubt that Zhao Chang is very likely to be an important person who knew the dying will of Emperor Kangxi, and it is very likely that the emperor set up by Emperor Kangxi was not Emperor Yongzheng, but the fourteenth elder brother.

In this way, the reason why Emperor Yongzheng killed Zhao Chang is quite sufficient, because Zhao Chang was responsible for handling the correspondence between Emperor Kangxi and the Fourteenth Elder Brother before, so he is the most likely person to know Emperor Kangxi's will. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he immediately ordered Shenhuai to confiscate the letters exchanged between the fourteenth elder brother and the Kangxi Emperor in various places, and its ultimate goal was to destroy any evidence that the Kangxi Emperor established the fourteenth elder brother as the emperor, and because Zhao Chang was the direct person in charge of this matter, in order to kill the people, the Yongzheng Emperor used a charge of "stealing treasury silver" to kill all the Zhao Chang family, and no one can know what happened when the Yongzheng Emperor ascended the throne.

Because this Zhao Chang is suspected of imitation, in order to prevent him from ventilating others, he will delete this old eunuch first.

I think the main reason for Sun Pai is that this old eunuch is not loyal to Yongzheng, and there is also the result of the old eunuch feeling sorry for him during Yongzhengxiang's failure to succeed to the throne. then feast on envy.

Because when Kangxi was dying, he left a last word for his henchman Zhao Chang to accompany him to the funeral, because Zhaochang knew too many secrets of Kangxi, and these secrets could not be made public or said.

Because there were ruins left behind when Kangxi was dying, he wanted Zhao Chang to accompany him to the funeral, because he was his confidant, he could know a lot of things about him.

I think I want to hide something, because Zhao Chang is Kangxi's henchman and knows too many things.

The status of Emperor Yongzheng is justified, and the edict is written in Manchu, Han and Mongolian languages, and it can't be changed, maybe Zhao Chang is not the Fourth Master Party! In addition, he has served by Kangxi's side for so long, in case Kangxi suddenly changes his attention in the last few days and wants to pass on the throne to Fourteen, and Kangxi must also have Yongzheng's henchmen or something!

Because this henchman has been with Emperor Kangxi all the year round and knows many things that others can't touch, Yongzheng is afraid that some of the secrets he knows will endanger his own interests, so he chose to give him death to prevent future troubles.

Think about the death of the previous emperor, Zhao Chang, the emperor's most trusted confidant that night, was stabbed to death, in which Emperor Yongzheng must have hidden some ulterior secret.

said that they were confidants, so such words show that there are many things hidden between them, and Zhao Chang knows a lot of things, Kangxi must have confessed on the night of his death, and in order to kill people, he must have died.

He had to die.

Kangxi is very unclean, the most buried one of the emperors. But it doesn't affect him that he is the first emperor of the ages.

Three cuts, not like in the book. Worship death is the problem. Including his own origins. When Su Malagu was alive, she said to Kangxi that if Xiaozhuang died, I had to go with him, but Xiaozhuang didn't let him. Kangxi agreed, let alone him. Threaten royalty.

I think it was Emperor Yongzheng who wanted to conceal Zhao Mao and rewrite Emperor Kangmenxi's successor Yu for him! The original text is the succession of the fourth brother! Zhao Chang added a cross in front of four! became the fourteenth brother to succeed to the throne of the emperor! When Zhao Chang died, no one would know about this great secret!

The palace battle of the palace needle is very complicated, and it is entirely possible that Zhao Chang has some key evidence, so he found the disaster of killing.

He was stabbed to death because Zhao Chang knew too many secrets of Emperor Kangxi, and then Yongzheng wanted to prevent such a situation from happening.

Seeking power and usurping the throne, refer to "This Night, Yongzheng Seizes the Throne".

Zhao Chang knows too much, and it poses a threat to Yongzheng Qiangang's arbitrariness!

If you like historical questions so much, you might as well study archaeology.

When Kangxi died, he hurriedly summoned Yongzheng over to explain the future. Zhao Chang, the eunuch beside Kangxi, secretly reported to the Eight Kings Party. Therefore, Yongzheng knew that he was the eighth master's person, so he would be executed.

Zhao Chang is Kangxi's most trusted eunuch, Zhao Chang knows many of Kangxi's secrets, and may even know who Kangxi really wants to pass on the throne to, and Yongzheng killed Zhao Chang in order to cover up the truth.
