Kangxi, also known as the Kangxi Emperor, was the longest reigning emperor in China's ancient period, and he has made many contributions in China's modern history, such as recovering Taiwan and developing Taiwan's economy. The Kangxi Emperor succeeded to the throne at the age of eight, personally ruled at the age of fourteen, and when he was a teenager, he resourcefully defeated the powerful minister Aobai, so how did he do it?
On March 18, 111, the Kangxi Emperor was born as the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and from then on the dynasty with the era name Kangxi began. When he was a teenager, the Kangxi Emperor did not have great prestige at that time, and the power was also tightly held by the ministers, that is, he could be said to be an "empty shell" emperor.
Why did Kangxi let a group of children worship instead of using ouchi masters?
He was not angry and dissatisfied, at that time he chose many children as his imperial bodyguards, he and the guards trained together to make them physically strong and could be reused for themselves, they trained many projects, and the Kangxi Emperor himself would personally go to the training ground to supervise. In this way, they have been training for more than two years, and these guards have made great progress.
The Kangxi Emperor knew that the time was ripe, and he found an opportunity to pass Ao Bai into the palace, saying that there was an important matter to discuss and ask Ao Bai to come quickly. After Ao Bai entered the palace, the well-trained guards and children surrounded Ao Bai and captured Ao Bai, although Ao Bai was a warrior, but when he faced a group of well-trained children, he was incompetent and powerless, and was eventually captured.
In fact, the kangxi emperor's court at that time was in a very difficult situation, and he could not personally rule until he ascended the throne six years later, during which many powers were controlled by the ministers. Because the Shunzhi Emperor left a will at the time of his death, Kangxi was personally assisted by four ministers after he ascended the throne, of which Aobai and Soni had the highest status.
But when Kangxi had just succeeded to the throne, Sonny's health was not very good, and later he became more seriously ill, and in the imperial court, Ao Bai began to rule his own dictatorship, he began to decide more and more powerful things, and Kangxi began to have his own ideas, when he put forward his own ideas and opinions before the courtiers, Ao Bai only blindly refuted and ignored.
Kangxi grew bigger and bigger, but the imperial court was still the dictatorship of Aobai, not only that, but also in life, because the Kangxi Emperor was young, he always bullied him and did not put him in his eyes as an emperor, and over time Aobai became a thorn in Kangxi's eye, a thorn in his flesh, and he wanted to get rid of Aobai more and more. This is the reason for the incident of the young Kangxi Sheng's capture of the power of the minister Ao bai.
Why did Kangxi choose a group of children instead of some martial arts masters at that time? In fact, there are many reasons for this. First of all, at that time, Ao Bai was in the dictatorship of the imperial court, he was in a high position of power, many rights were in his hands, and there were many people in the imperial court who were afraid of him, of course, Kangxi was also a little afraid of him, so if he wanted to get rid of Ao Bai, he had to discuss it in advance and proceed quietly.
The children were chosen by Kangxi himself, so he believed in his heart that they could keep secrets, and that the words of outsiders would probably slip through the cracks and cause the plan to fail. Secondly, Ao bai was not only a dictatorship in the imperial court, but at that time he was in charge of a wide range of forces, a wide range of forces in the capital, and many eyes and ears in various fields, and it was likely that he would be aware of it with the words of some masters.
In addition, a group of children are selected to confuse Ao Bai and let Ao Bai relax his vigilance and enter the palace alone. Moreover, before that, Kangxi had arranged for Ao Bai to compete with these children so that the children would deliberately lose to him, so Ao Bai did not care about the children. This led to the fate of his later capture.
After Kangxi Sheng captured Ao bai, he consulted with many ministers that Ao Bai had committed thirty crimes and should be punished by his clan. Kangxi could not bear this, thinking that he would not die for the sake of national affairs, so he was spared his capital offense and put him in prison, but he killed many of his family members and henchmen. In the end, Kangxi returned all power to his own hands and began his personal rule.
The Kangxi Emperor ruled the country well, and under his leadership, the people at that time lived a prosperous life and had enough food and clothing. He had a very great vision, and his measures to deal with the national issue were also reasonable, such an emperor was the happiness of the people at that time, and the Kangxi Emperor was indeed very rare, and it was no wonder that posterity mentioned the Kangxi Emperor and praised everyone.
Summary: After the Kangxi Emperor came to power, the Qing Dynasty entered its heyday, and his political achievements during his reign gave our last dynasty its last glory. The Kangxi Emperor was also a very famous qinzheng emperor in our history, he was diligent in his life, and he ruled the country well, under his leadership, the people at that time lived and worked in peace and contentment, lived a rich life, and had enough food and clothing.
