In 1722 AD, Kangxi, who had been emperor for 61 years, passed away.
After Kangxi's death, the fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, succeeded to the throne.
Yinzhen was originally Prince Yong, and his reign name after he became emperor was Yongzheng. This is the Yongzheng Emperor who cannot be avoided in history.
In the early days when Emperor Yongzheng came to power, his position was not stable, and the Laoba Group was eyeing him.
Therefore, Yongzheng began to take action against the Laoba Group.
In 1726 AD, Laoba Yinsi collapsed completely.
But a very strange situation occurred. In addition to Lao Ba Yin Si, Yong Zheng also dealt very harshly with Lao Jiu Yinzhen.
So, why did Yongzheng hate Lao Jiu Yinzhen so much?
Lao Jiuyinzhen's mother also had a very high status, that is, Concubine Yi.
In the TV series "Kangxi Private Interview", the master Yi is very conspicuous. This is Yinzhen's mother.
Relying on his mother's status, Yinzhen's childhood was very comfortable.
But after the death of Concubine Yi, Lao Jiu's status began to decline.
At that time, the prince Yinfeng was high in power. In order to fight against the prince, Lao Ba Yinsi, Lao Jiu Yinzhu and others formed a group.
In terms of group strength, the Laoba Group even surpassed the Prince Group.
As the princes gradually grew up, the competition for the throne became more and more fierce.
It is under such circumstances that Lao Jiu's role becomes more and more obvious.
In the Laoba Group, Laoba Yinsi is naturally the leader, Lao Shiyin follows suit, and Lao Jiuyinzu is the moneybag and counselor of the entire group.
As the saying goes, Lao Jiu is a poisonous snake and Lao Ten is a fool. It can be seen that Lao Jiu is indeed good at strategy.
In order to ensure greater security in the process of transmitting information, Lao Jiu even used Latin to transmit the information.
I have to say that looking at the entire Qing Dynasty, there were very few people who knew Latin at that time.
In the battles between the princes, Lao Jiu often gave advice to Lao Ba, which caused the prince, Lao Si and others to suffer a lot.
Therefore, Lao Si Yinzhen hates Lao Ba Group very much.
In 1722 AD, Emperor Kangxi died.
Later, the fourth son Yinzhen succeeded to the throne and became the famous Emperor Yongzheng.
There has always been great controversy over the legitimacy of Emperor Yongzheng.
But Emperor Yongzheng did secure his throne. In fact, at the beginning of Yongzheng's accession to the throne, he still faced a series of threats.
At that time, the Lao Ba Group could take action at any time in the capital, and the Lao Fourteenth Group, which had military power, responded from afar in the northwest region.
In order to keep his throne, Yongzheng first lifted the military power of Lao Shi4, causing Lao Ba Group to lose foreign aid.
After the situation stabilized, Yongzheng began a large-scale purge of the Laoba Group.
In 1726 AD, the fourth year after Yongzheng came to power, Emperor Yongzheng began to purge the Laoba Group.
Both Lao Ba Yin Si and Lao Jiu Yinzhen were imprisoned. According to the rules, the treatment of the imprisoned princes was good, but they were not allowed to go out.
But Lao Ba and Lao Jiu were basically prisoners and received very poor treatment.
In order to humiliate Lao Ba and Lao Jiu, Emperor Yongzheng renamed them Asina and Seth Hei.
This is the meaning of pig and dog, which is obviously insulting.
Compared with these two people, Lao Shiyin can be said to be a fool with a lot of luck. His situation is much better than that of his two brothers.
Lao Jiuyinzhen was imprisoned for only a few months before he died in prison.
According to folklore, Lao Jiu Yinzhen was crushed to death by a sack filled with sand in order to permanently eliminate future troubles.
During the 13 years of Emperor Yongzheng's reign, the descendants of Lao Ba and Lao Jiu certainly had no chance to turn around.
It was not until the death of Emperor Yongzheng that the young Emperor Qianlong rehabilitated his uncles one by one.
Lao Jiu Yinzhen's reputation was also restored. By the way, Lao Jiu's sons were very successful.
During the Qianlong period, the status of the Laojiu lineage improved.
Among all the uncles, Emperor Qianlong was the only one who did not rehabilitate his eldest uncle Yinti.
