In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi (1708), Wu, the minister, was summoned on November 14th to ask everyone to choose a new prince among their brothers, saying that if they want to choose a crown prince among their brothers, they must listen to their suggestions.
Who would have thought that the development of the situation did not go according to his expectations. Emperor Kangxi was greatly surprised when the ministers of the DPRK headed by Tong Guowei, Ma Qi, A Ling, E, and Wang jointly wrote to Bao Yincuo as Chu Jun.
Kangxi hated nepotism most in his life, when he was still in his prime. Looking at the officials in the DPRK and the influence of the Eight Ye Party, how could he not worry about his throne? So all this was seen by Kangxi, and he was greatly dissatisfied.
He once said: "The second brother rebelled and repeatedly lost people's hearts; Yi Yin is popular, and this man is one hundred times more dangerous than his second brother. Therefore, after everyone elected Yin Gui as the heir to the throne, Kangxi was not only furious, but also ordered Yin Gui to be banned in order to crack down on the "Eight Ye Party".
Extended data:
The main reasons for the failure of the Eight Leaves Party:
1, prematurely exposed the goals and strength of his team. "The snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman", and the Eight Ye Party is not a fisherman.
2. Know yourself and yourself. Eight lords have never seen who their real opponents are. Maybe it's because grandpa four is so good at camouflage. Grandpa four has always played the role of a good son and brother in front of Kangxi. He hid himself so well that he began to compete with Eighth Master only after the Second Prince was abolished.
In the Palace Museum, there is a painting called "Killing a Tiger with Casual Clothes". Casual clothes hid aside to watch two tigers fight. One tiger died and the other tiger was exhausted and injured. At this time, he went over and killed another tiger with a knife.
Here, the Eight-Ye Party, which lasted for 20 years, is finished and hopeless on the historical stage. The final winner was the May 4th Movement, that is, Yong Zhengdi.
