Therefore, we can't believe all the film and television works with historical themes. After all, a large part of works of art are jokes. In the official history, Hong died of depression, not from Yongzheng. The story of Yongzheng's execution of Hongshi will also enrich the plot and show the helplessness of the royal family for rights.
The death of Hong caused by Yongzheng first appeared in the Four Classics of Qing Royal Family written by Tang Bangzhi. The original text is as follows. "The emperor's third son, Hongshi ... was not engraved on the sixth day of August in the fifth year of Yongzheng. He was too young to cut his ancestral home and died at the age of 24." With this passage, many scholars subjectively believe that Hong was given death by Yongzheng, and the reason for giving death to Hong was related to the Eight Immortals. However, there are many unconvincing places in this passage. Redstone was not cut in the fifth year of Yongzheng, but on February 18, the fourth year of Yongzheng.
In addition, what happened later is enough to prove that Hongshi was not given death by Yong Zhengdi, which is what happened during the Qianlong period. When Qianlong asked Yun Lu and others to restore the Hong clan, Yun Lu and others discovered the truth in the paper. "Check, yongzheng four years on February 18th, ordered the Redstone shall not stay in the palace, is the son of wandering.
Now the yellow belt has been removed from the crime of karma, and its name has been removed from the jade book. How can Redstone not take off its yellow belt? Immediately remove its yellow belt and give it to Yunjin for restraint and support. I admire that. "This paper clearly states that Redstone's personality can't stay in the royal family, but he was adopted as his son by the Eight Immortals Wang Yunyou. Later, Yunyou was beheaded for sin, and Hongshi was also implicated. However, Redstone was only bound and strictly disciplined by Min Yun, and even his freedom was not restricted.
Not only that, but later Emperor Qianlong also issued an imperial edict to pardon Hong's family, and The Record of Emperor Gaozong in Qing Dynasty recorded the favor of Emperor Qianlong at that time. "In the past, the third brother was young and ignorant, indulgent and unwilling to act. The emperor's court severely punished him and taught my brothers and others to learn from him. Now my third brother has been dead for many years, and I miss the friendship of brothers very much. It seems that I should still be included in the family tree. " All kinds of evidence prove that Hong's death was not given by Yong Zhengdi, but because he was young and indulgent and careless. Yongzheng was deprived of his ancestral home for four years and died of depression a year and a half later.
Take the story of Yongzheng dynasty as an example. Obviously, there are many loopholes. After Hong's ancestral home was cut, there was no capital in his hands to compete for the throne. There is no threat to Yongzheng and Qianlong. Besides, Yunyou, the Eight Sages King at that time, had been placed under house arrest by Yong Zhengdi, and all threats that could threaten Qianlong's accession to the throne no longer existed. Yongzheng failed to hold the red stone all the time.
Most importantly, Yong Zhengdi took special care of his reputation all his life, which can be seen in the diligent work after Yongzheng ascended the throne. Most of the nine sons failed to seize the official position, and Yongzheng was only under house arrest, but unofficial history did not give the death penalty. An emperor who cherishes his reputation so much, how could he take the world by storm and finally kill his son under his own vigorous reform? Take the anti-Qing forces at that time as an example. At that time, the anti-Qing forces gave Yongzheng the notoriety of killing his father, forcing his mother, killing his brother and killing his brother, and did not commit the crime of killing his son.
From the comprehensive appeal, we can easily see that Yongzheng did not grant the death penalty to Hong. Although he has been a ruthless monarch since ancient times, Yongzheng is a generation of emperors and a father. His so-called palms and backs are all meat, so it is impossible to execute Hong for Li Hong. How can a tiger be poisoned?
