In the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, the Yangxin Hall gathered the Shunzhi Emperor and several of his children, when Shunzhi asked what the children had ambitions, the second prince Quanfu replied, "I only hope to become a virtuous king", which made Shunzhi's heart full of expectations hit hard, at that time he had no hope for the next prince's answer, but the next three princes' answer gave him a new surprise.
"I hope to be like my father," replied Xuan Ye, the sixth-year-old third prince.
This made Shunzhi, who had been disappointed, a little surprised, and from then on, he began to shift his eyes to this previously unfavored shuzi.
In the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Shunzhi's will made Xuan Ye become the crown prince, and the ninth of the first nine ascended the throne as emperor.
Xuan Ye, that is, the Kangxi Emperor, the great emperor of the Temple Name Qing Shengzu, was also one of the greatest emperors of the Qing Dynasty, during his reign, he promoted the harmony of ethnic relations, calmed down many conflicts, the country's economy was stable and developed, and the people lived in peace and contentment, and he was not born as a concubine, but a concubine, not the most favored one. The reason why he was selected as the heir of the Shunzhi Emperor is worth exploring, and I will tell you a few points below.
Among the eight sons of Shunzhi, the eldest son, the fourth son of the emperor and the sixth son of the emperor died early, and among the remaining heirs, the seventh son of the emperor and the eighth son of the emperor had just been born, and the second son of the emperor, Fuquan, himself expressed no interest in the throne, so Kangxi became the best choice for Shunzhi;
In fact, in any case, in that dynasty, almost no one did not want to be able to rise to the rank of rich and become famous, and Kangxi, as the prince of the imperial palace, not to mention, he had a very far-reaching revenge since he was a child - he wanted to be an emperor, a great emperor, the kind of emperor of the ages.
As for the words he said, I think he said them both to himself and to Shunzhi to reassure him.
Why do you say that you want to reassure Shunzhi?
Because Shunzhi and Kangxi almost didn't have much intersection, he didn't have so much care for this prince born of concubines, because he himself was not comfortable.
Kangxi's mother was Tong Jia, a very powerful family at that time, and the main reason why Tong Jia could enter the harem was because she was young and beautiful, did not understand politics, and did not want to take care of politics, otherwise with their family background at that time, Tong Jia would never be able to enter the harem.
Because, the formation of a huge force may be an obstacle to the emperor.
Tong Jia's status has been in the harem for many years, and her status has almost never been up and down, until she was pregnant, which was seen by Empress Xiaozhuang, and at this time, Shunzhi Ye was still with her Dong Eshi.
Shunzhi's marriage was an arranged marriage, Dong Eshi was the woman he really liked, his first empress was the niece of the empress, he did not like this woman at all, this woman also had a poor personality, so in just two years, Shunzhi deposed his first empress.
Then, the emperor, well, know that the harem is to have an empress, so Shunzhi began the second election, after the second election can be said to continue the first election, and the abolition has a very clever relationship, the second empress, is the nephew of the deposed!
In fact, after this second election, the storm should have been calmed down, because the empress had always been very stable, had not made mistakes, and had not taken the initiative to have any contact with Shunzhi, almost managing the harem, and there was nothing to go beyond.
So he really met his dream lover Shunzhi, after wanting to abolish this, there has been no reason to waste it, after all, people don't ask for anything, just in that position, and later even feel that it is okay to abolish it, simply ignore it.
It was at this time that Shunzhiye and Dong Eshi got better.
Saying that love comes too quickly, I don't think it's like a tornado, is it a lightning bolt, or a lightning bolt that crosses each other, and it hits at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Since having Dong E's family, Shunzhi Ye has been very happy, and every day he has to go to Dong E's family to tangle with her, this is not, soon there will be his and Dong E's first child, or a son!
He had paved all the way for this child in his mind, and misfortune happened when this child was almost ready to become the crown prince.
When the child was three months old, before he even got a name, the child died early.
He was crying, he was really going to hang himself, and the child's mother was also sad, directly depressed, and left with his bitter child.
This time he really wants to hang himself, then his crying, two troubles and three hangings are not a joke, he is the king of a country, the king of a country hanged, is this not following in the footsteps of his predecessors? After all, the old crooked neck tree in the back mountain is still watching there!
Due to the obstruction of various people in the palace, he still could not meet his Dong Eshi and his children.
So he was forced to continue to live, and he continued to live.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Shunzhi's life was uneven, his children, not to mention his favorite child, just say that the eldest son, no, the second son Fuquan is still there, the third son Xuan Ye is still there, and then the other children, are either premature, or sick, or young, but as far as his current body is concerned, it is estimated that he will not be able to give birth to another one, and even say that he will soon retire to the point of giving way.
To whom? Xuan Ye has not had much contact, the age is not big, only 8 years old, this is going to be on the throne and he has to have a fight, as for the second son Fuquan, the age is enough, but the ambition and ambition are not enough.
Besides, he was afraid that now his children would be like him, contracting this strange pox disease!
Second, Empress Xiaozhuangwen liked Kangxi a little more than Fuquan, plus Kangxi had smallpox and had an immune system, so Empress Xiaozhuangwen supported Kangxi's ascension to the throne;
You know, the number of people taken away by the smallpox disease is no less than the Black Death, which was called "God's Punishment", or even 5 times more than it is - the smallpox virus once set a record for taking 150 million lives in one day in Europe.
During the Qing Dynasty, four emperors suffered from smallpox, one directly fatal, one suspected to be fatal, the horror of this virus in the Manchu Qing was even higher than the death and injury in the war, and Kangxi had a unique advantage, he was a person who had suffered from smallpox, and had been cured.
Some people may want to say, what is this, Shunzhi is not good, he continues to work harder, only 20 years old, not to be premature aging.
Yes, Shunzhi is good, but considering that Shunzhi has more than one disease in this sick seedling, as mentioned earlier, he really can't be born, only in less than a year after he had a conversation with Kangxi and other princes, he died, which shows that Shunzhi at that time was almost terminally ill, and the Shang dynasty just stood in a position that could not be stopped.
So, what does it mean to be cured? It means that he will not be sick again, and his descendants will inherit this gene, which is beneficial to the inheritance of the Qing royal family.
After all, in China, as large as a family, as small as a family and individual, it is more important for the Qing royal family, after all, this is a matter of inheritance of this dynasty for them, and it cannot be that they have no heirs and are taken over by their relatives.
Therefore, Kangxi, who was only six years old, became the best candidate, because even if Shunzhi chose the second prince Fuquan at that time, if Fuquan was unfortunate to suffer from smallpox later, Kangxi would directly take over the throne, rather than regretting it at that time, it was better to make a decision that would not be regretted earlier.
Because, at this time, Empress Xiaozhuang's grasp of imperial power also had a certain influence.
However, it happened that Empress Xiaozhuang was very optimistic about Kangxi and even had the intention of cultivating him implicitly.
According to a myth, when Empress Xiaozhuang visited Tong Jiashi, she saw that Tong Jiashi had the same vision as when she was pregnant at the time, and she believed that the child was almost the emperor's destiny.
Kangxi did indeed grow in that direction, "Tianbiao is handsome, Yue Lishenghong" This is the record of Kangxi's appearance at that time, almost encompassing the extraordinary temperament, and it is handsome and mighty, and the temperament is this piece, pulling full! Face value this piece, pull full!
However, when the emperor chose the crown prince, he certainly could not choose a mediocre person or a person who could only talk about soldiers on paper, but Kangxi just nodded his talent right.
3. Kangxi himself was diligent and studious, and he was careful and ambitious, and was a good candidate for the king;
Kangxi is really a talented person, five years old to read and recognize words, the beginning of reading is the Four Books and Five Classics, read not enough, but also to understand the meaning, that is, with the idea of not understanding can not be put down to implement.
But where the ancient man only read the four books and five classics, it was called erudite, which in ancient times was equivalent to our current "foundation", so as he increased his age and broadened his insight, he read the works of sages such as Yi Xue.
He really loved to read, and loved it, which meant that one of the readings he read when he was seventeen or eighteen was vomiting blood and felt that he had not read enough. He was also truly erudite, and it is recorded that he "learned the mind of the sages, the main points of the Six Classics, and all of them were integrated."
Such a person Shunzhi must be relieved, so studious, and so smart, but the hurdle in his heart can't pass, but he must have helped him with all his strength in the past.
It is recorded that on the day of Shunzhi's death, four ministers were called to assist Kangxi, of which Ao bai must have been familiar with this, and the other three were the ministers Soni, Suksaha, and Shubilong.
This auxiliary has rules, notes Shunzhi has also been the emperor for a long time, some rules he know very well, he does not need relatives to deal with political affairs this time, so as not to interfere with the regime again, these four are different surnames of the conferred ministers, meritorious in the body, one by one is really capable, and there has been no reaction before, loyalty can be trusted.
Shunzhiye's hand can basically be said to be comprehensively handled, that is, he will ask for peace of mind for himself before he dies.
It can be said that everything is a coincidence, but everything is inevitable, such as the death of the Shunzhi Emperor and his Dong'e children, the early death of the eldest son, and the spread of smallpox at that time, these things are almost all standing in the coincidence, but as far as Kangxi Ye's efforts and ambitions will not be in vain, all of this is clearly visible, and not in the coincidence, but for us, for the people, only the prosperity of Kangqian is not a coincidence, it is the inevitable prosperity of history.
