Introduction: In the "Yongzheng Dynasty", this sentence comes from the mouth of Kangxi, and the object is Zhang Wuge, the great internal guard. The thirteenth brother Yinxiang had a life-saving grace for Zhang Wuge, and Zhang Wuge always wanted to repay. However, he was only a bodyguard who was powerless, and finally took the opportunity to ask for the release of the thirteenth master when he was walking and chatting with Kangxi after the snow. Kangxi actually said the words "to give you a great face", which meant that he agreed to the captivity of the thirteenth brother Yinxiang. So why would Kangxi give a bodyguard face? This has to start from the historical background at that time.
Zhang Wuge and his people
Zhang Wuge is a small character who does not appear much, but he plays an important role in the play. At the beginning, Zhang Wuge lived in Jiangxia Town, where Liu Banu was the owner, and the fourth brother Yinchen and the thirteenth brother Yinxiang Jiangnan disaster relief fund-raising used to live in Zhang Wuge's home when they returned from the disaster relief fundraising. The Zhang Wuge family is hospitable, and it is also because of this that the Zhang Wuge family and the thirteen brothers are related.
Later, Zhang Wuge was beheaded after rebelling against Ren Bo'an's younger brother Ren Ji'an for some reason, and Zhang Wuge's sister rushed to the capital to ask the thirteenth brother Yinxiang to come to the rescue. Yin Xiang entered the palace to inform Kangxi, who personally went to the court to save Brother Zhang and gave him an envoy from the Great Inner Guard.
The historical background of Kangxi's words
When Ling Pu entered the Kangxi camp with the prince's commanding words and two thousand soldiers and horses, it was basically certain that the prince was going to be deposed. At this time, the thirteenth brother Yinxiang and the prince stayed together, so they were suspected of participating in the forced palace, and Ling Pu was once a subordinate of the thirteenth brother Yinxiang, so he was not imprisoned with the prince.
The abolition of the crown prince caused the other princes with ambitions to take the concubine to rejoice, and the big brother, the third brother, including the old eight, could not wait to jump out. The first is that the boss felt that his opportunity had come because he had been appointed by the emperor to be in charge of the palace guards, and actually suggested that the deposed prince Yin Rong be executed. The third elder immediately exposed the prince of the old nightmare town. As a result, the third elder was also exposed, and Kangxi thought that since he already knew about this matter, why didn't he say it, and the books were read into the belly of the dog.
The Lao Eight Clique immediately set up a Zhang Lao Dao to create a momentum for the Old Eight, and more than half of the courtiers planned to write a letter to elect Old Eight Yin Yu as the crown prince.
Kangxi Kai gave Zhang Wuge a big face
At this strange and strange moment, Kangxi took Zhang Wuge for a walk after the snow. In fact, at this time, Kangxi was heartbroken by these opportunistic courtiers and inattentive sons, and just walked behind the snow while talking to the guards. He was accustomed to the faces of the ministers in the court, but wanted to hear what the lower levels thought of the brothers. Of course, Brother Zhang said that the thirteenth master was the best.
When Kangxi asked why, he said that in the end, the thirteenth brother not only saved his own life, but also because he was frank and never calculated behind his back.
Kangxi said that he was the best, that is to say, when he was most suitable to be the crown prince, Zhang Wuge gave a negative answer. Zhang Wuge said that it was best not necessarily to be a good prince, which made Kangxi a little angry because this was not what a guard should say. But at this time, Zhang Wuge's acting skills exploded, saying that I didn't know how to say it, I just wanted to know the truth with the emperor. At this point, Kangxi's pulse could be accurately touched, and Kangxi said several pairs of words in a row. Kangxi had long been tired of the hypocritical words of courtiers and princes, and wanted to hear a few words of truth.
Therefore, when Kangxi said in a refreshing manner that he would reward Brother Zhang Who spoke the truth, Brother Zhang directly dared to plead with the emperor to release the thirteenth brother.
When the emperor said that you were a little bodyguard, he actually protected the prince. At this time, Zhang Wuge's acting skills soared, and he didn't speak so stupidly and cutely looked at Kangxi without asking for guilt or changing his mouth. At this time, Kangxi, who had long thought that this thirteenth brother who had feelings, righteousness, and filial piety, said that sentence to Brother Zhang Wu: Shuo is the Son of Heaven, giving you a big face.
brief summary:
In fact, after investigation, Kangxi was also convinced that Yin Xiang, who was usually filial and upright, would not force the palace to do anything, and compared with those princes and courtiers who were full of lies, these excellent qualities of the thirteenth brother were very rare. Therefore, through the steps of Brother Zhang, he released the thirteen brothers.
I am the emperor of history, welcome your attention; if there is a flaw, the axe is right.
