After Kangxi s death, what did the fourteen elder brothers who held the army do?

After Kangxi's death, his 4th son Yongzheng succeeded him on the throne, and Kangxi's 14th son ......14 Brother only got the news a few days later, when 14 Brother had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, people suspected that he would rebel against the court or not listen to the imperial decree, and came back alone to mourn, but 14 Elder brother's actions were unexpected, and he obediently returned to Beijing by order. <>

With the temperament of the 14th elder brother, he would not obediently obey the will of his own brother Emperor Yongzheng, but his grain and grass of 100,000 horses were firmly controlled in the hands of Emperor Yongzheng's domestic slave Nian Qianyao. Including the military station, the post station, the danger, etc., are all controlled by Nian Qianyao, not to mention raising troops to kill Kyoto, that is, to bring troops back to Beijing, on this distant road, there is no food and grass, plus someone robs and kills, without waiting for the end of the thief in the capital, it will be fulfilled on his body, 14 Brother is a person with soldiers will not be unclear about this. There is also an important reason why he has no real reason for opposing Yongzheng.

That is, Emperor Yongzheng and Brother 14 are brothers born to the same mother, and in the eyes of Brother 14, the worst result is that his own brother will not do anything to him. <>

But his own brother Yongzheng is a vicious brother, 14 After the elder brother entered Beijing, he was placed under house arrest, and later in captivity, and finally after his mother died, he was sent by Yongzheng to guard his mother's spirit. After the 14th elder brother arrived in Beijing, it was impossible for him to do anything in his heart, because all his actions were under the control of his own brother Yongzheng. In the distance, when the fourteenth elder brother received the holy decree of Kangxi's death, the guards standing beside him were all sent by the capital, and from the demeanor of these people, the 14th elder brother already felt the general trend, what else could he do?

He can only do what he is told. He would never have thought that his own brother would treat him like that, if he knew that his brother Yongzheng would trap him, he would at least fight to ......the death

But people's assumptions are just imaginations, 14 Elder Brother still didn't do anything after all, so he fell into the trap of his brother Yongzheng.

When the fourteenth elder brother learned of Kangxi's death, he did not rebel, but returned to Beijing as usual, because he knew that all the grain and grass of his army were in the hands of others, and he could not act lightly.

The fourteenth elder brother, who had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, did not rebel, nor did he disobey the holy decree of Emperor Yongzheng, but obediently returned to Beijing. Just because the grain and grass of the hundreds of thousands of horses of the Fourteenth Elder Brother were firmly controlled in the hands of Nian Qianyao, including the military station, post station, dangerous pass, etc., all controlled by Nian Qianyao, and Nian Qianyao was the domestic slave of Emperor Yongzheng, and the Fourteenth Elder Brother had no choice but to obey the order.

People suspected that he would rebel against the court or not listen to the court's decree, but he didn't do that, just obediently went back, he believed in his brother too much, thinking that his brother would not put him under house arrest, but he was still under house arrest by his brother. It can be said that he spent the rest of his life in an ordinary way.

After that, the fourteenth elder brother was basically placed under house arrest by Emperor Yongzheng, and it can be said that he spent the rest of his life in an ordinary way.

In terms of wild history, it is not a succession, but a seizure of the throne.

What the official history said was mainly due to the role of family affection: the struggle between the princes in Kangxi's later years was very serious, and there were even signs of cannibalism. But Yinzhen has always been very friendly and filial; Other princes always intercede for him when they make mistakes, and Kangxi is also very concerned when he is sick (maybe not sincerely, but his performance is indeed like this), which has a great impact on Kangxi, who is old and sick, and does not feel family affection in other princes.

Someone said that the usurpation of the throne of the fourteenth son of the emperor, Kangxi's edict in his later years was to pass on the throne of the fourteenth son, and Yongzheng changed the word "ten" to the word "Yu", which is equivalent to usurping the position of his younger brother. Everyone looks like this, pass the fourteenth, then change it, add a horizontal on the top of the cross, and add a hook at the bottom, and it will be "passed on to the four sons", and the position will be passed on to Yongzheng. There are so many books, so many stories, and wild histories all say so.

This matter can't stand scrutiny, why can't it stand scrutiny?

The first point is that at that time, the word "Yu" was written in traditional Chinese, and we write simplified characters today, and the previous ones were in traditional Chinese, and the traditional characters should be Yu"on", then it is not easy to change the word "ten" to the word "Yu", this is one. Second, the Qing Dynasty's writing habits at that time, it was called the fourteenth son of the emperor, the fourth son of the emperor, there was an emperor in front of it, if it was changed, it would become "passed on to the fourth son of the emperor", it would not work, and third, the edict of the throne at that time was Manchu and Han, Manchu and Chinese, and the Chinese language You said that changing the word "ten" to the word "Yu" also has a little meaning, then you can't change the Manchu text.

According to these three reasons, it is said that Kangxi passed on the fourteenth son, and it is not established to pass on the fourth son.

Kangxi is the second emperor after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and he is quite famous in history, and he has appeared in many Qing court dramas. At that time, the domestic situation was grim, and it was his insistence on using troops that achieved the integrity and reunification of the country.

However, Kangxi did not manage his son well in his later years, and the situation of fratricidal killing was also quite terrible, as we know, although Yongzheng sat on the throne, he soon killed his brothers openly and secretly, and the most generous was his younger brother Yinchu, who was the same mother and father. It's just that what we need to know is that the strongest competitor with Yongzheng was also the fourteenth elder brother.

It is understood that before Kangxi's death, he entrusted the fourteenth elder brother with a heavy responsibility, and set out to Qinghai with the specifications of the emperor, holding heavy troops, and many people thought that the fourteenth elder brother was the heir to the throne, including the fourteenth elder brother. However, Kangxi died, but the edict was written about the fourth prince Yinzhen, and what is strange is that the fourteenth elder brother also knew that Yongzheng was sitting on the throne, and he had no good end, why did he hold heavy troops and fight to the death with Yongzheng? Actually, take a look at the following points and you will understand.

1. The road is far away, when Kangxi died, the fourteenth elder brother was still far away in Qinghai, very far away from the capital, and when he rushed back, the daylily was cold.

2. Grain and grass. The most important thing to fight a war is food and grass, after all, you have enough to eat to have the strength to fight, isn't it? What's more, when he was in charge of grain and grass when he was in the leather brigade, he was still loved by Yongzheng, so he might not be able to win if he wanted to.

Third, the future is unknown, Yongzheng himself is a far-sighted person, if the fourteenth elder brother raises troops, he may not be able to succeed, after all, there are many constant factors on the way back to Beijing, Yongzheng noticed that something was wrong, and it was very easy to kill him, so there was no need.

The above content is biased towards my personal opinion, and you can comment if you have anything to say. In fact, the fourteenth elder brother of the Yun faction is not very suitable to be the emperor, and his ambition is not heavy enough, perhaps this is one of the reasons why he does not want to raise troops, and it is also one of the reasons why Yongzheng let him go and let him guard the imperial tomb.
