Chapter 127 The Life of "Aqina"
Hearing this, many people in Wanchao felt that Lao Ba was quite pitiful!
He only had one mother, and they barely spent any time together growing up, yet in the end, she still had to die for him!
If he hadn't gotten involved in the succession struggle, things might have been a little better, but being in the royal family meant he couldn't avoid it!
……
"The death of Lady Wei has sparked new conflicts. As her father, would Emperor Kangxi think that Yinzhi would resent him because of his mother's death?"
"In general, a crisis of trust arose between Kangxi and Yinzhi, or to put it another way, Kangxi had always harbored suspicions about this son, regardless of whether the son resented him or not, he believed that the son did."
"In the fifty-third year of Kangxi's reign, Kangxi went on an inspection tour and asked Yinzhi to accompany him. Unfortunately, that day was the anniversary of Wei's death. So Yinzhi chose to pay respects to his mother and gave two hunting falcons to Kangxi as an apology."
"But these two falcons died unexpectedly when they were delivered to Kangxi. However, I think it was either an accident or someone framed him."
"After all, no matter how much the eighth brother resented his father, he would never do such a thing. In fact, it is unlikely that anyone with a brain would do such a thing."
"But Kangxi couldn't help it when he got angry and didn't think things through! He started cursing and swearing, spewing all sorts of foul language, and even denounced Yinzhi for being born to a lowly woman from the Imperial Household Department."
"You've already insulted him, but why did you have to insult his mother, especially on the anniversary of her death!"
"But it didn't end there. Kangxi concluded: 'The bond between me and Yinzhi is severed.' He even said that the possibility of the Eighth Prince ascending the throne was over: 'Yinzhi is not the Crown Prince.'"
Judy, the General Who Conquers the North: Damn, this guy has a really sharp tongue!
A certain playboy from the Song Dynasty: He didn't take that Wei family member seriously at all, calling her a lowly woman all the time, which is why he cursed her so harshly!
A young man from a prominent family in the Tang Dynasty: It's really strange that the eighth son is so unlucky to have such a father!
……
"When the time came to the sixty-first year of Kangxi's reign, Longkodo issued an edict to the fourth prince, Yinzhen, to succeed to the throne. The eighth prince must have anticipated this outcome, so he did not put up a strong resistance."
"Initially, Yongzheng treated his younger brother quite well. He first promoted him from Beile to Prince Lian, and appointed him as the head of the General Affairs Minister. He also raised the family of his mother, Lady Wei, to the Manchu banner, so that his mother was no longer of lowly birth from the Xin Zhe Ku."
"Perhaps Emperor Yongzheng also wanted to get along well with this brother at this time, but he didn't expect that Yinzhi's teammate would betray him again. This time it was his wife who complained during the conferment of the title of Prince: How long can this position last? What is there to celebrate!?"
Third brother Yinzhi: You dare to say that?! Are you out of your mind?!
"It's easy to imagine how Emperor Yongzheng would feel if he heard these words."
"Furthermore, the Fourteenth Prince caused a huge scene after returning from the Northwest, but his own brother wouldn't listen to his advice. However, he listened to the Eighth Prince as soon as he entered the scene. What was Yongzheng supposed to think about that?!"
"Not to mention that after Yongzheng became emperor, there were political rumors everywhere, such as this one: 'In October, a rebellion broke out, Bafo was imprisoned, and the army and the people resented the new emperor.'"
"What do you think the emperor of the time would think about all this?! So in the third year of Yongzheng's reign, this emperor began to deal with the Eighth Prince! He found fault with him in every way possible, and the final result was that the Eighth Prince was stripped of his title, expelled from the imperial clan, and placed under house arrest by the Imperial Clan Court."
"In addition, Yongzheng also made the Eighth Prince change his name to Aqina, which means 'fish waiting to be slaughtered' in Manchu."
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: This eighth prince seems to have done nothing but has been constantly betrayed by the people around him!
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: If you can't control the people around you, you're bound to cause trouble! It's also because he didn't manage them well in the first place!
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: Maybe he didn't have that thought in his mind. They're all just unlucky kids who got scammed!
……
"Actually, what did Lao Ba do? Not really. He was surrounded by a bunch of scoundrels. Even the forty charges Lao Si leveled against him when he was picking a fight were outrageous. One of them said that Lao Ba cried loudly when his mother passed away, which shows that he was hypocritical."
"It's easy to find a pretext to condemn someone. The main reason is that the Eighth Prince has too much political prestige. No emperor could be at ease not dealing with this threat."
"Perhaps the Eighth Prince is one of the more tragic princes. He was separated from his mother when he was young, and later his mother died because of him. As a result, his father even called him a slut. Perhaps that is why he was named Aqina."
Zhu Biao, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty: Perhaps he did everything right, but he still could not escape the arrangement of fate.
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: It feels like he just didn't manage his subordinates well!
Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty: Her father really treated her mother badly! He not only scolded his son, but also his deceased mother!
Zhu Houzhao, the number one troublemaker of the Ming Dynasty: His father favored the second son! He even wanted to restore him to the throne openly and legitimately, but he was slapped in the face! Hilarious!
Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty: ...
