Yinzhi withdrew when the ninth son seized the heir, why didn t Yongzheng let him go?

When the ninth son seized the heir, the third elder brother Yinzhi withdrew, but Yongzheng still did not let him go because there were rumors at that time that he was the successor recognized by Kangxi. As a king, the most important thing after ascending to the throne is to consolidate his position and power. Regardless of whether this person has selfish intentions or not, the king adheres to the attitude that he would rather kill a hundred by mistake than kill one person.

Moreover, there was a rumor among the people at that time that Kangxi actually identified the heir as the third elder brother Yinzhi, and Yongzheng just tampered with the edict. Such a statement reached Yongzheng's ears, and naturally he would not let him go.

And when Kangxi was alive, he really loved the third elder brother Yinzhi very much. The third elder brother Yinzhi can be said to be the supporter of the crown prince, but he himself has no idea about the throne, and only wants to study calligraphy and fulfill filial piety. This kind of performance does make Kangxi, who attaches great importance to family affection, very fond of it, so he is also entrusted with important tasks, but the third elder brother is not interested in power, so when the ninth son seized the heir, he was the only one who stayed out of the matter.

Although Yongzheng also knew that he was not involved, nor did he stand on the opposite side of himself. But in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he can't let the third elder brother Yinzhi's reputation among the people get better and better, so he can only dispose of him. Yongzheng showed that he was sent to the imperial tomb to guard Kangxi's spirit, and at the same time deprived him of his title and title.

Later, Yongzheng felt that when the thirteenth brother died, the third elder brother Yinzhi was indifferent, so he thought that this person must still be complaining about himself, so he couldn't let him go. simply imprisoned him until the death of the third elder brother Yinzhi and was taken out of the prison. Therefore, the fate of the children in the royal family is also very sad, after all, Yinzhi does not have any dissenting intentions, but he is still targeted by Yongzheng, and it is indeed very difficult to protect himself in the royal family, which is why they are forced to stand in line.

I think it's just a good brain, a good strategy, otherwise it is impossible to win. The battle of the nine sons is super intense, and it is not by chance that Yinzhen was able to win the bad manuscript, it is completely based on strength.

His blind adoptive mother brought him a huge advantage, his personal conduct is good, he is relatively smart, and he is brave and resourceful, so he has been supported by many people in the palace, and he is the most outstanding among his brothers, and finally he has also been favored by Kangxi.

Yinxiang has absolute loyalty to Yongzheng, no matter what happens, he will stand on Yongzheng's side. Take the major event of the nine sons seizing the heir, Yongzheng's success is indispensable to Yinxiang's great help, not to mention that Yinxiang still gambled his life to help him. In such a situation, Yongzheng naturally trusts Yinxiang.

Because Yinxiang supports Yongzheng, without the support of the old thirteen, Yongzheng would not be able to be the emperor, Yinxiang was kicked out of the list of successors because he was responsible for Yongzheng.
