In fact, he also dotes on Yixin, but he finally chose Xianfeng Emperor. Then as a brother, Xianfeng also knows that his ability is good, but why not reuse it?
CreditEase is indeed more capable and smarter than Xianfeng, which should be a consensus. However, in the early days, Xianfeng was not bad for Lao Liu.
As soon as he acceded to the throne, he gave him his former residence in Xiao Shenyang and made him the minister in charge of the guards to participate in the tour of Beijing. He was ordered to walk in the army, thus breaking the ancestral system that the prince of the Qing Dynasty could not interfere in government affairs.
However, two people can only be at odds. In fact, this truth is very simple.
One-hearted biological mother is Jing Guifei. Because Xianfeng's biological mother died young, Jing Guifei once raised Xianfeng. However, Xianfeng, who became the emperor, only showed respect for this foster mother on the surface, and only regarded his birth mother as the empress dowager, without paying attention to Fei Jing.
In this regard, Yixin has always had a knot.
More importantly, the relationship between the two was competitive before. Since childhood, Prince Gong has been better than Xianfeng in both learning art and archery. If it weren't for his teacher, Xianfeng wouldn't be emperor, and he still knows that.
Therefore, it is normal for Xianfeng to watch him around him, and there is a lot of pressure. Xianfeng is powerful, and he wants to find opportunities to suppress this former opponent.
At this time, there is no need to consider family ties, especially the ruthless royal family.
Whether Prince Gong is a "literary genius" or not has always been controversial. What he can get is actually the westernization movement.
However, we must know that this was done with the acquiescence of Cixi. Without Cixi's consent, he could not engage in the Westernization Movement.
As for the coup in mind, in fact, the main character is Cixi, and the key behind it is the Tongzhi emperor. If there is no Tongzhi as emperor, then Cixi can do nothing even if she has the heart, and no one supports her. Many people have to consider this factor because Cixi is the justified empress dowager.
Of course, even so, there is no denying the ability of creditability. At least in the eyes of many people, it is still stronger than his brother Emperor.
