As Kangxi s personal eunuch, why is Yongzheng still reused after succeeding to the throne?

The great eunuch Li Dequan has always been trusted by two generations of emperors throughout the Kangyong and Yong dynasties, and the reason why he has always been able to stand is his professional attitude as a eunuch.

Li Dequan, as the personal eunuch of Emperor Kangxi, knows many secrets of Emperor Kangxi and the weight of his words, but he has always been tight-lipped and has not revealed anyone.

Because the eunuch Li Dequan understood that the object of his service was the emperor. Prince Yong Yinzhen is very shrewd and has seen through Li Dequan's way of life. Although such a person is not his confidant, he will not betray himself.

Therefore, after Prince Yong became Emperor Yongzheng, the personal eunuch next to him was still Li Dequan.

Li Dequan has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he is strict-mouthed. Although there have been incidents of eunuchs interfering in politics in all dynasties, Li Dequan always stays out of the matter, although he knows a secret, but it will always rot in his stomach, which is also an important reason why Yongzheng dares to continue to use him.

Because Kangxi's personal eunuch understands the relationship between major events in the DPRK and China and various **, Yongzheng is still reused after succeeding to the throne.

Kangxi chose to pass the throne to Yongzheng after his death, which was based on many considerations. On the one hand, it is for the sake of Yongzheng's safety and to achieve a smooth transition of imperial power. On the other hand, it is also his own desire for power, and he is reluctant to lose power early.

Although Kangxi has been good at planning all his life, there is still a certain risk in passing on the throne to Yongzheng after his death. Because no matter which link goes wrong, all the work will be lost.

Kangxi did not pass the throne to Yongzheng during his lifetime, also to protect Yongzheng and not to have the situation of the prince being deposed. Because after the crown prince was established at that time, he became the target of the brothers, and finally got the end of being imprisoned for life. If he is established too early, he will become the target of public criticism, and many unavoidable things will happen.

At the same time, in order to stabilize the overall situation, the brothers are involved in each other to achieve a smooth transfer of power. Kangxi is good at layout, he deliberately released the news to pass the throne to the fourteenth son, so the fourteenth son was appointed a general and went to the northwest to lead the troops to fight. So the fourteenth son and the eighth son will not unite to deal with Yongzheng, but will be wary of each other.

Because these messages are not necessarily true, there is hope for everyone. Neither of them will act rashly and will wait to see how the situation develops, so that the situation will be stable. If the crown prince is prematurely ordained, there is a risk that the two will have a coup d'état for the throne.

The reason why Kangxi did not pass on the throne was also due to his reluctance to give up imperial power. Kangxi has been in power for decades, and he is not easy to let go of this position. If he gives the throne to Yongzheng to inherit, he will become the emperor.

There will be two situations, one is that he does not let go of power, and the other is that the new emperor takes back power from Kangxi. But looking at what Yongzheng did, it is also possible. Kangxi wants to justify his behavior, so he will not announce a new recognizer when he lives.

This is the reason why Kangxi has not set up a new candidate for the prince, and only he understands the candidate, and the others are people's speculations. Only when the deadline was approaching did he explain his candidate for the throne and some entrustment. It can be said that Kangxi put the emperor's technique.

Play in full swing.

In order to allow Yongzheng to get a better exercise, and also because of the situation of nine sons seizing the heir at that time, Yongzheng's succession may not necessarily be passed down by the emperor, but may also be the throne he won through his own ability.

It's because he's afraid that people will say that Yongzheng is rebelling. It was Yongzheng who hurt himself. So Kangxi is to protect Yongzheng's safety.

Because he thinks that Yongzheng is a good boy with a kind heart, he is very kind, and he can pass on the country he has laid down well, and he treats the people better.

As we all know, in the history of the Qing Dynasty, the succession of Emperor Yongzheng has always been a matter of divergent and mysterious opinions, especially on the night of Emperor Kangxi's death, Yongzheng immediately executed the eunuchs who had served Kangxi for 60 years, which is even more puzzling. After returning to China, Ma Guoxian, an Italian missionary and painter of the Kangxi Empire, wrote a memoir, "Thirteen Years of the Qing Dynasty: Ma Guoxian's Memoirs in China".

He wrote that on the night of Kangxi's death, he was staying in Changchun Garden, and he heard very terrible screams. Yin Zhen ascended to the throne and issued an order that shocked the whole country. Zhao Chang was arrested, executed, and his property confiscated, and his children were enslaved.

It's a strange thing indeed.

<> it is said that Yongzheng should have dealt with those who were competing with him for the throne first, but he killed Kangxi's cronies and eunuchs first. Why on earth is this happening? According to historical records, there were two eunuchs during the Kangxi period, one named Liang Jiugong, who died of illness in the later period of Kangxi, and the other named Zhao Chang, who was executed by Yongzheng on the night of Kangxi.

Zhao Chang was born in the Ministry of the Interior, three years younger than Kangxi's retinue, Kangxi. In the middle of the Kangxi Dynasty, Zhao was appointed general manager of the Office of Manufacturing Affairs of the Office of Internal Affairs, an institution of the Qing dynasty that specialized in the manufacture of royal goods.

Kangxi was old, and because Liang Jiugong died, Zhao Chang was transferred to Kangxi's side and taken care of again. As a result, Zhao Chang witnessed many major historical events in Kangxi's later years, as well as Kangxi's inheritance and Kangxi's death. After Kangxi's death, the fourth son of Emperor Yin Zhen was named Emperor Yongzheng.

However, before Yongzheng was officially crowned, he executed Zhao Chang at Kangxi's funeral and confiscated all his family property.

Yongzheng executed Zhao Chang for the following reasons: he used his position to install spies, including many of his relatives; secretly abolished the status of Hong, the son of the crown prince, and issued a fire sickle; Neku owed five thousand taels of silver. According to Qing regulations, when an old emperor died, the eunuchs who served the old emperor were usually sent back home or transferred elsewhere.

Theoretically, Zhao Chang, as a confidant eunuch who has served Kangxi for 60 years, has no merits, but he also works hard. After Yongzheng ascended to the throne, he should treat him well and let him go home for the old man, even if he did not treat him as an important person.

This is because the eunuchs around the emperor generally know a lot of secret things about the royal family, so he will choose to execute this eunuch.

I think it may be because I am afraid that this eunuch will do something, so I want to kill him first.

Those are all dramas and ** episodes, and there is no information to base them on, don't believe it too much.

Facts have proved that Kangxi's decision was correct, otherwise it would have been a prosperous Kangqian era.

Qianlong is indeed very loved by Kangxi, but Kangxi's inheritance to Yongzheng is not because of Qianlong;

Legend is that Yongzheng offended the gang of the eighth master, and they made a rumor for Yongzheng, when Kangxi is a fool, can it be like that?

There is such a saying, because Qianlong has often been taught by Kangxi since he was a child, Kangxi has a deep influence on him, and Kangxi chose Yong precisely to ensure that the three generations are good.

There is also a saying: In Kangxi's later years, because of physical and other reasons, the governance of the country was somewhat relaxed, and there was a struggle for power and profit within the ruling group, bureaucrats forming parties for personal gain, and officials governing corruption"The King of Cold Noodles",,, will not be merciful, so pass it on to him. Moreover, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he rectified the rule of officials, which also laid the foundation for the prosperity of Qianlong.

The above personal opinion.

Because Kangxi felt that Qianlong was very similar to him when he was a child, and liked him very much, is it because he didn't say anything about the official history.

I don't think that's the case, in fact, he doesn't think Yongzheng is a good emperor, and his original intention was not to make him a prince, but later Yongzheng designed to tamper with his will.

Of course not, there are indeed reasons for this, but it is definitely not the key, Yongzheng is a more reliable person and works steadfastly, so he will be valued by Kangxi.

In fact, the heir in the heart of Emperor Kangxi is the fourth son of the emperor, that is, the later Yongzheng Emperor, the so-called pretentious usurpation is just other princes, because they did not have the inheritance qualifications and poured dirty water on the Yongzheng Emperor, according to the situation at the time, no matter who succeeded to the throne, they would definitely be treated in this way by other princes, this statement is really not credible.

First of all, the reason why it is said that the real heir in the heart of Emperor Kangxi is Emperor Yongzheng is because the name of Emperor Yongzheng is indeed written in the secret decree hidden behind the plaque of the Qianqing Palace. The Qing Dynasty itself was a dynasty established by the Manchus, but later advocated great unification, so many documents in the Qing Dynasty were "bilingual", not only traditional Chinese characters, but also Manchu versions, so the possibility of tampering with the secret decree is almost non-existent, if the Yongzheng Emperor wants to create a fake secret decree, not only to imitate the handwriting of the Kangxi Emperor, but also to unknowingly get the jade seal and hide the secret decree in the Qianqing Palace, how difficult this move is self-evident.

Secondly, for Emperor Kangxi, his sons are divided into two kinds, that is, the prince and other sons of jujube burial, only the status of the prince in the heart of Emperor Kangxi is different, and the rest of the sons are not much different for Emperor Kangxi, and the prince was suspected by Emperor Kangxi because of his power at that time, and later gradually lost the qualification to compete for the throne.

Therefore, Emperor Kangxi's final choice is actually the ideal heir in his heart, and judging from Emperor Yongzheng's later actions, Emperor Kangxi's choice is indeed not blind.

Finally, the Yongzheng Emperor recorded in the historical materials himself is a two-faced, he is very good at disguising himself in front of different people, so basically no group is concentrated on attacking him, and at that time Emperor Kangxi also felt that he had some "no quarrel with the world", obviously Emperor Kangxi was blinded by Emperor Yongzheng, and only gave the position of heir to the throne to Emperor Yongzheng, but if Emperor Kangxi knew something, he should not regret this decision.

Actually, it's the eighth. Yongzheng is indeed seeking power and usurping the position. Because he wants to become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, but I have to say that his Sun Shucha is indeed more capable of doing this throne than the eighth child.

In fact, it is Yongzheng. It's just that he didn't say it, but Yongzheng thought it wasn't him, and he always wanted to be a master, so he usurped the throne.

It was Yinqin's hand, Emperor Yongzheng did not usurp the throne, and there were many rumors in the capital that were unfavorable to Emperor Yongzheng's jujube stall at that time, but the fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, was Emperor Kangxi's emergency plan.

The real heir in Kangxi's mind is actually Yongzheng's Yongzheng, which was founded without toes, and this is also the case in the later period.

The real heir in Kangxi's mind, no one knows who it is. There are different opinions in history about how Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, but it is said that Yongzheng usurped the throne, which is actually not true, because in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the will of the Qing Dynasty generally has to be written with three kinds of words. God demolishes.
