The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal society in Chinese history, and it was also a dynasty that was relatively close to us. Among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, the Kangxi Emperor made many contributions to the country. For example, during the reign of Kangxi, he quelled the Rebellion of San Francisco and counterattacked Tsarist Russia in the northeast, which played a very important role in protecting the integrity of the territory. Above the court, Kangxi also boldly reused Hanchen and programmed the Kangxi Dictionary, which can be regarded as his own contribution to culture.
And every emperor will have a day to leave, and so will the Kangxi Emperor, among his many princes, Kangxi eventually passed the throne to Yin Chan, the fourth son of Kangxi, the later Yongzheng Emperor. But some people have put forward a different hypothesis, if Kangxi passed the throne to this person at that time, then the Qing Dynasty may have a different situation, under its management, the Qing Dynasty is likely to become a superpower, and even the Eight-Nation Alliance is not an opponent.
This person is Ai Xin Jue Luo Yin Xiang, he is the thirteenth child of Kangxi, from childhood talent and wisdom, is a relatively favored prince of Kangxi, in the period from 1698 to 1708, Yin Xiang has always been with Kangxi's side, no matter where he goes, as long as he leaves the Beijing Master Kangxi will take Yin Xiang with him, teach him personally, let him see more about the outside world.
Yin Xiang is not only proficient in horseback riding and archery, but also has excellent abilities in calligraphy and painting, can compose poetry, and has a very good performance in the ability to do things, especially in coordinating interpersonal relationships, which is very rare. More importantly, he is particularly good at accepting new things and learning from the outside with an open mind, even Western culture.
If he came to rule the Qing Dynasty, perhaps the situation would become much clearer, it was likely to change the pattern of "closing the country behind closed doors", he would actively trade with the outside world, he would attach importance to the research and development of firearms, attach importance to the development of industry, and the overall strength of the Qing army would be greatly increased. Therefore, kangxi has a child like Yin Xiang, and it is no wonder that he will take it with him every day, but he still loses his hand with the throne.
At that time, Yin Xiang was implicated in the deposed prince Yin Rong incident, and then he lost kangxi's favor in an instant. After the deposed prince, Kangxi did not trust all the princes. And Yin Xiang after his brother Yin Chan became the Yongzheng Emperor, he also concentrated on assisting him and helping him deal with some things, although he was not able to become emperor, but at least he gave full play to his ability. Unfortunately, in 1730, Yin Xiang died of overwork, which belonged to his untimely death.
