    Default If WSB stays in forbidden city, will he able to save Kangxi life from Yongzheng?

    While WSB is intelligent with lot of dirty tactics but Yongzheng and other princes from Secret Battle of the Majesty are no joke. Will WSB able to overcome those princes.

    probably Trien Chieu means that after the scene of DOMD, in the old age of kangxi, there are internal turbulence in which all the princes compete for the crown , if Wei Xiaobao still stay in a palace, can he overcome these princes?
    cmiiw some historians believe Kangxi chose other prince to ascend the throne, but yongzheng use a dirty trick changed the wills

    TC is referring to the legend that YZ killed KX and altered the will to nominate himself as heir. Most historians have dismissed this as Qing documents were written in Manchurian as well as Han Chinese and it is impossible to alter Yinti to Yinzhen when writing in the former.

    The document that written in Manchu language was lost, only the Han document is still available. According to many TV shows, YZ killed KX.

    From wikipedia, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yongzheng_Emperor#

    Researchers at Academia Sinica have disproved the theory, as official Qing documents, when mentioning sons of the Emperor, always list the son's title, as well as the son's rank amongst the emperor's sons and the son's name. In this case, the will mentions "Prince Yong, Emperor's Fourth Son, Yinzhen" (Chinese: 雍親王皇四子胤禛), as well as Kangxi Emperor's high regards for Yinzhen, and his belief that Yinzhen can succeed on the throne. In this case, changing the will becomes impossible without leaving obvious signs of alteration, since Yinti, if referenced in the will, would show up as the Emperor's fourteenth son (Chinese: 皇十四子), which contains four Chinese characters instead of three for Yinzhen, as the Emperor's fourth son (Chinese: 皇四子).

    It has also been noted that the Chinese character "于" is a simplified character that is written as "於" in traditional character, which was exclusively used back in the Qing era.

    In addition, the will is written in Traditional Chinese, Manchu, and Mongolian. The alteration theory is noted to be based solely on altering the will's Chinese version, as the will, as written in Manchu and Mongolian, is impossible to alter due to different language characteristics.

    Many also feature people flying around and exploding rocks, so that must have been true too.
