Kangxi is the second emperor after the Qing army entered the customs, Kangxi can be said to be young and promising, at the age of eight he succeeded to the throne, at the age of sixteen he regained the power of the Qing Dynasty from the hands of the powerful minister Aobai, in the military, his merits are also many, by later generations called "one emperor of the ages", the "Kangqian prosperous era" in the qing dynasty rule, one of which is the prosperity of the Kangxi reign, it can be said that he is a legendary existence, whether external or internal, the Qing Dynasty has a prosperous situation, his contribution is very large.
But it was also such an emperor who, before his death, twice issued an edict ordering a man to be martyred after his death, and many ministers were very puzzled by this. What's the implication? Let's take a look.
This man is Roncodo. Long keduo was the younger brother of Empress Xiaoyiren of Kangxi and a minister of the Qing Dynasty, and Kangxi was also very fond of Longkeduo during his reign, and repeatedly warned Longkeduo to behave properly and not to be too close to his brothers and sisters. After Kangxi deposed the crown prince twice, he did not establish another crown prince, which led to the situation of the royal family's "nine sons and nine concubines", and Long Keduo became a key figure in Kangxi's choice of successor.
Yongzheng, who was still the crown prince at that time, that is, Yin Chan, had always been harmonious with his brothers, but it did not mean that he did not covet the throne, he also secretly got acquainted with Nian Qianyao and Long Keduo, and had very close relations with the two, at that time, one was a great general, one was an infantry commander, one was the main outside, one was Kangxi's left arm and right arm, getting to know these two people, Yin Chan was one step closer to the throne, and at that time, Kangxi's holy will before his death, Yin Chan also had a little panic in his heart.
Long Keduo received the holy will, of course, he was also very panicked, he could only ask the Kangxi Emperor for forgiveness, and then the Kangxi Emperor issued the holy will, exempted from funerals, and also promoted to a knight, Long Keduo was very grateful in his heart, escaped from death, and was more sincere about Yin Chan.
After the death of Kangxi, Yin Chan succeeded to the throne, known as the Yongzheng Emperor, at this time many people were still very confused about the holy will of Kangxi at that time, after becoming the emperor, Yongzheng only then understood Kangxi's approach, the relationship between the king and the subject, the courtiers have been working for the emperor since ancient times, the life of the courtiers is naturally in the hands of the emperor, even if the position of the courtiers is high, but it is always under the emperor, once the boundary is crossed, the lives of the courtiers are also difficult to protect.
These two holy wills of Kangxi, one to die and one to live, Longkeduo is more aware of the relationship between the monarch and the subject, so he respects and loves Yongzheng more, although the Yongzheng Emperor is likely to have ascended to the throne with the help of Longkeduo, but the jun is the jun after all, the subject is the subject after all, such a relationship cannot be ignored.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, Longkeduo was even more popular for a while, Yongzheng not only openly called him "uncle", but also gave him a lot of things, which shows that Yongzheng attaches great importance to Longkeduo, but it is precisely because of this that Longkeduo eventually forgot the position of his courtier, and also forgot the two holy wills that Kangxi gave him at that time.
In the third year of Yongzheng, Longkeduo paid more and more attention to Yongzheng, and eventually attracted the suspicion of the Yongzheng Emperor, first of all, the Yongzheng Emperor removed him from his post as the commander of the infantry, Longkeduo's son was also dismissed because of the problem of character, two years later, Longkeduo was imprisoned by Yongzheng in Changchun Garden, and his son was also dismissed and assigned, and not long after, Longkeduo died.
Since the ancient relationship between kings and subjects is difficult to reconcile, Long Keduo was also the right-hand man of the two emperors, but in the end he also ended up in such a fate, can only say that Kangxi still has foresight, for Yongzheng, Kangxi is really painstaking.
