Long Keduo in "Yongzheng Dynasty", at the beginning of the series, is only a idle disciple of the Eight Banners who was deposed at home, first arranged by Tong Guowei to serve as the guard of the Li Fan Yuan, in order to climb the yongzheng and the thirteenth brother Yinxiang party, and then was directly promoted by the Kangxi Emperor to the position of nine gate viceroys by the Kangxi Emperor. From a criminal courtier to an unruly petty official to a military attaché in charge of the garrison of the capital, the speed of Roncodo's promotion was jaw-dropping.
Of course, these are all fabrications of film and television works. In the Kangxi Dynasty, Wei Dongting can be crowned the Prince of Yi as a Han Chinese; in the Yongzheng Dynasty, Yongzheng can also help Li Wei, a slave who is illiterate in large characters, step by step to the level of local governor; Yin Jishan, who has not been in the middle for two years, can be directly appointed as the governor of a province in charge of people's livelihood and government affairs. Then it became understandable that Roncodo had jumped from being a warden in the Imperial Household to becoming the Admiral of the Nine Doors.
However, if the historical facts and the plot of the Yongzheng Dynasty are combined, in fact, it is inevitable that Roncodo quickly achieved the position of the Governor of the Nine Doors.
In history, Longkodo was once an official to a deputy capital, which was almost the same as the Nine Gate Admirals in the rank of official to the rank.
In "Yongzheng Dynasty", the character settings about Long Keduo and Tong Guowei have always been criticized by people.
In the play, Long Keduo calls Tong Guowei his "sixth uncle of his concubine", but if it is really placed in the main history, Long Keduo really calls it so, it is an act of filial piety, because Tong Guowei is no one else, it is Long Keduo's "father of the concubine".
As the "four foreign relatives" of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Tong Jia family had an extremely close relationship with the Kangxi Emperor. Tong Guowei's sister was the Kangxi Emperor's biological mother, Empress Xiaokangzhang, And Tong Guowei's two daughters were also married to the Kangxi Emperor, the kangxi emperor's third-in-command, Empress Xiaoyiren, And tong Jiashi, the noble concubine of the Emperor Huihui. This makes Tong Guowei both the kangxi emperor's uncle and the kangxi father-in-law, and Long Keduo, as tong Guowei's son, naturally has the dual role of the kangxi emperor's cousin and brother-in-law, and has a close relationship with the Kangxi emperor.
It was precisely because of this that in the twenty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1688), Longkeduo was appointed as a first-class bodyguard, and later promoted to the deputy capital of the Zhenglan Banner Of Mongolia.
And this vice-governor is already the military attaché rank of ZhengErpin, which is already consistent with the order of the nine-door viceroy who was still Zhengerpin in the Kangxi period, but due to the particularity and importance of his position, the status of the nine-door admiral is higher than that of a traditional military officer general at the level of the capital, and it is not easy to serve as a metropolitan commander.
In the forty-fourth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1705), longkodo was deposed from the post of deputy governor because of the involvement of his subordinates, but still enjoyed the functions and treatment of a first-class bodyguard of Zhengsanpin. In the process of Kangxi's "two deposed crown princes", Longke judged the situation, firmly sided with Kangxi, and maintained absolute neutrality with all Kangxi princes, thus winning Kangxi's trust. Therefore, after the "Toheqi Drinking Case" that led to the "Second Deposed Crown Prince", the former Nine Gate Admiral and prince Yinrong's important relative Trust Heqi was taken down and questioned, and soon after died in prison, Long Keduo sat in the position of the Nine Gate Viceroy until Kangxi's death. It was precisely because Long Keduo occupied such an important position and won the trust of the Kangxi Emperor that he was able to play an important role in the process of Yongzheng ascending the throne, and then became the most popular courtier in the early years of the Yongzheng Dynasty.
In the plot of "Yongzheng Dynasty", there is also a hint of the identity of Longkeduo's military brigade, and the play also introduces that Longkeduo was deposed because of being a "deserter", which shows that Longkeduo had a certain military rank before, and longkodo in the play was also "heroic", his "father" was Tong Guogang, the uncle of the Kangxi Emperor who died in the Battle of Ulanbutong, from this family glory and family lineage, Longkodo will also retain a certain rank. This is just like the hezhen of that year, although he was initially a third-class bodyguard of Zheng Wupin, but the family title he inherited was a third-class light car lieutenant, and he enjoyed the same treatment as the rank of Sanpin.
Therefore, it seems that Long Keduo's leap from the custodian of the Li Clan to the Governor of the Nine Doors is a bit abrupt, but if combined with his family background, lineage rank and past rank, Kangxi's appointment is not "contrary to the official system".
Under the circumstances at that time, for Kangxi, appointing Long Keduo as the Governor of the Nine Doors was undoubtedly the best choice.
First of all, before that, Roncodo was not involved in the struggle between the princes.
Speaking of this, I have to admire Tong Guowei's strength.
Just when Long Keduo wanted Tong Guowei to mention that it was now the "time to employ people" and try to "support the new monarch", Tong Guowei decisively stopped such a dangerous idea as Long Keduo, he knew very well that he had fallen into it, but Long Keduo did not have such a mind and strategy of his own, and participating in the struggle between the princes was bound to be fierce. Therefore, Tong Guowei arranged for Long Keduo to go to the Li Fan Yuan, in addition to climbing the relationship between Yong Zheng and the Thirteen Brother Yin Xiang, more importantly, to put Long Ke Duo to death in the Li Fan Yuan, isolating him from the struggle from the outside world, which was actually a kind of protection for Long Ke Duo.
Just when the courtiers in the outer court were rushing to support the new prince, Ronkodo was peacefully playing "giant mahjong" in the LiFanyuan, perfectly avoiding the fight, and at the same time making himself not labeled as any party, which gave Ronkodo a great political advantage, which was valued by Kangxi. Coupled with its own kinship with the Kangxi Emperor, the Kangxi Emperor used it to reuse and co-opt it, and Longkodo began to skyrocket.
Secondly, the Kangxi Emperor also needed to win the support and cooperation of Tong Guowei through Long Keduo.
The reason why Tong Guowei was taken down by Kangxi is that Tong Guowei, as the first assistant minister of the upper study and also Kangxi's uncle and state abbot, has a huge influence in the DPRK, and the "Tong Half Dynasty" is by no means a waste of time, and Tong Guowei directly expressed his attitude towards the selection of The Eight Brothers as the new crown prince, so that the government and the public quickly formed a follow-up trend, which is why Kangxi said that Tong Guowei instigated chaos in the imperial program. It is precisely because Tong Guowei's influence is too great, and he is too deep, so Kangxi cannot protect Tong Guowei, but can only take Tong Guowei down.
Tong Guowei and Kangxi had a meal, and Kangxi said that "the time of life is too long, blocking the way for the descendants to rise", letting Tong Guowei know that Kangxi's choice was to abolish the crown prince Yinrong, not the Eight Brothers, not Yongzheng and the Thirteenth Brother Yinxiang, and not other princes. At this time, Tong Guowei understood Kangxi's thoughts, but he also knew that he could not retreat completely.
It's just that Kangxi also planned the future for the Tong family, that is, to reuse Long Keduo and make Long Keduo the representative of the interests of the entire Tong family in the court, thus relieving Tong Guowei's worries, which also made Tong Guowei single-mindedly sing this "double reed" with Kangxi, and fiercely "pit" the Eight Brothers and the entire "Eight Ye Party".
Third, it is Long Keduo's "selling uncle for glory", which Kangxi very much wants to see, and it is what Kangxi needs.
In order to better help Tong Guowei and Kangxi to play this "double reed" thoroughly, Tong Guowei and Long Keduo also staged a "bitter meat plan", that is, Long Keduo personally reported and exposed Tong Guowei's behavior, so that Kangxi could depose Tong Guowei and crack down on the "Eight Masters Party", and at the same time showed the courtiers that they were very opposed to and disgusted with the courtiers' behavior of colluding with the princes and forming a party.
It can be said that Long keduo's move helped Kangxi to "knock the mountain and shock the tiger".
Of course, the result of this is that Roncodo puts himself in an unfavorable position of public opinion, after all, even a person like Roncodo can betray his own uncle, and he and Roncodo must be careful to bear the risk of being betrayed by him.
It can be said that Kangxi used this to isolate Long Keduo from his courtiers and princes and concentrate on his own use, and such a nine-door admiral was even more reassuring.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Long Keduo, by "exposing" his own uncle Tong Guowei, successfully jumped from a spurned deserter and an unruly cell leader of the Li Clan to the Nine Gate Viceroy in charge of the capital garrison, and at the same time completed the return and transfer of power within the Tong family.
Behind all this is the embodiment of Kangxi's great wisdom and imperial heart, and at this time, I have to admire the kangxi emperor's unique and outstanding way of employing people.
