How did Yongzheng "usurp the throne" when Kangxi died?
Before Kangxi died, Yongzheng did not usurp the throne, but Longkeduo published Kangxi's will and ordered Yongzheng to inherit the throne.

6 1 year 1 1 month 13, Emperor Kangxi collapsed at Qingxi Bookstore in Changchun Garden, Beijing, at the age of 69. After the death of Emperor Kangxi, the commander of Kangxi's near-minister army made Longkeduo announce Kangxi's will and ordered Yin _ to inherit the throne for Yong Zhengdi. After acceded to the throne, Yong Zhengdi reused thirteen sons of Kangxi, unwilling to let political opponents such as Yin _, who were unwilling to fail.

Therefore, after Yong Zhengdi ascended the throne, the struggle between the two sides continued, and he took various measures politically to consolidate his throne. The first is to eliminate dissidents, divide and disintegrate the Prince Group, and recall and ban Yin _ from the front line of the Northwest Army.

Jin _ is Prince Lian and Minister of Prime Minister Affairs. Send Yin _ to West Datong, Qinghai. In view of the fact that there was no effective storage system in Qing Dynasty, disputes often occurred in succession to the throne, so a secret storage system was established.

Extended data:

From the Yongzheng period, the discussion about Yongzheng's succession was endless. Although there is no conclusion on the legitimacy of the throne in historians, the popular theory of "ten reforms" is not valid.

Because the existing Kangxi Testament in Liaoning Provincial Archives was drafted and promulgated after Yongzheng ascended the throne, it is not the original Kangxi Testament, so it can't explain the problem.

Some scholars who advocate the theory of usurpation think that Kangxi died too suddenly and left no legacy, while Yongzheng and Longkeduo conspired to seize the opportunity.

Some people think that it is frustrating for Kangxi to set up two deposed princes before his death, and it was not until his death that he chose the fourteenth son of the emperor as Chu Jun. According to orthodox succession scholars, Yongzheng's accession to the throne is justified if there is no concrete evidence to prove that all other princes belong to Kangxi. Moreover, the word "yellow" is usually added to imperial edicts, for example, it is said that the fourth son is located in Huang, so it is unfounded to change "ten" to "jade".
