About Thirteen Yinxiang, why was Thirteen Elder Brother Yinxiang imprisoned for ten years?

Aixinjue Luo Yinxiang, the thirteenth son of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. Since childhood, he has followed Yinzhen (the future Yongzheng Emperor), which laid a good foundation for his achievements as an adult. In the first year of Yongzheng, he was named Prince Yi and was hereditary, and was the ninth iron hat king in the history of the Qing Dynasty.

Yinxiang, the thirteenth son of Emperor Kangxi. Her mother is a Mongolian princess, so she has been discriminated against by the rest of the princes since she was a child, and only Yinzhen gives care (and may also be suspected of supporting her own strength), so she cares closely with Yinzhen and makes great contributions to Yinzhen as the emperor. Later, he was crowned a prince and was hereditary.

Yinxiang, the thirteenth son of Kangxi, Emperor Yongzheng named him Prince Heshuoyi, the most loyal of the Yongzheng brothers, and the only one who died well.

In history, the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang was not imprisoned for ten years

Among the princes who were imprisoned, the crown prince and the third son of the emperor have very clear records, but there is little evidence in the history books about whether Yinxiang was imprisoned.

Qing Shengzu Records Volume 237 records that Yinxiang was released, and in the forty-ninth year of Kangxi, Kangxi gave the third, thirteenth, and fourteenth elder brothers Zhu Pi said that Yinxiang was by no means a diligent and loyal person, and if he was not strictly restrained, he would be in trouble.

Yinxiang should not have been imprisoned for a long time, although there is no history to follow at the end of Kangxi, but judging from his records and Kangxi's Zhu criticism, he appeared from time to time and was not imprisoned, let alone for ten years.

Yinxiang passed away after hard work.

In the autumn and winter of the seventh year of Yongzheng (1729), Yinxiang's health was already very bad, and Yongzheng Lingtai Hospital made Liu Shengfang serve as the head of the household, which was to let him diagnose and treat his condition at any time by Yinxiang's side. But Yinxiang still personally crossed the mountains and mountains with Gao Qizhuo, and it was hard to "go back and forth to examine", and Yinxiang was afraid of annoying the people, "often eating a meal until night". This state of physical and mental exhaustion exacerbated his illness.

On the eighth day of the first month of the eighth year of Yongzheng (1730), the North Canal Qinglong Bay was built to reduce the dam, and it was impossible for Yinxiang to go to the site to investigate, so he had to ask for the matter to be handed over to the squire He Guozong (Qing Dynasty mathematician) to supervise and supervise the repair.

At that time, Prince Yi said to his subordinates who were in charge of water conservancy together, "This map is all over the rivers, so that the surplus and contraction are manipulated in my hands, and I will be sick and drowsy, and I can't say anything." Three months later, Prince Yi died of illness.

In February of the same year, Yinxiang did not participate in the pro-cultivation ceremony of Xiannongtan (he had participated every year before). In March, Yongzheng issued two holy decrees in a row, allowing others to camp fields and missionary affairs. After Yinxiang fell ill, Yongzheng prayed to him, and in order to comfort Yongzheng, he "will be able to see the disease in the tenth month".

On the fourth day of the fifth month of the eighth year of Yongzheng (1730) (June 18 of the Gregorian calendar), Yinxiang died of illness at the age of 44.

The "Qing Historical Manuscripts" included in the official history are not mentioned, and other "Qing Shilu" and the like are not mentioned.

Only Yongzheng's eulogy to Thirteen mentions that he was implicated by the prince and framed by the eldest brother, because Kangxi thought that the prince was bad, one of them was the eldest brother, and the other guessed that it was thirteen.

Judging from the early thirteenth period, Kangxi took him with him every time he went out of Kyoto, and even asked him to go to Mount Tai to worship the sky on his behalf, and it was generally recognized at that time that he was Kangxi's favorite son in addition to the crown prince.

During the period of abolition of the prince, the thirteenth basically had no records, which shows that he did something that Kangxi could not tolerate when he abolished the prince and suddenly fell out of favor It is guessed that it was a short-term captivity, because he later had a record of the follower and a request for peace, and showed a small face on Kangxi's 60th birthday, which shows that even if he is imprisoned, the time will not be long.

It is absolutely nonsense to say that the captivity for ten years is in the February River**.

A year or so. In the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, Yinxiang did come with him.

In February of the 48th year, he patrolled Gidian, in April of the 48th year, he patrolled the outside of the fortress, and in December of the 48th year, he visited the tomb, and the thirteen elder brothers were all with him.

In February of the 49th year of Kangxi, he drove Wutai Mountain. In the leap July of the same year, Yinxiang was sent to Mongolia to pay tribute to the "three princesses" who died.

Later, he may not have been driving with him because of illness.

In Februaryhe's ** "Emperor Yongzheng", Yinxiang was confined to beekeeping for ten years.

However, there are criticisms in the official history, and some scholars say that they were banned, because Yinxiang has participated in very few political activities in the past ten years, that is, the "blank period"; Some scholars say that there is no ban, because Yinxiang still has a twist and turn for Kangxi in the past ten years.

So far, there is still no definite historical evidence to show whether Yinxiang was imprisoned or not.

Anyway, it's not ten years, ten years is all **nonsense.
