Since ancient times, there is an old saying that the companion of the king is like a companion of the tiger, according to common sense, all the powerful ministers who have achieved high merit and high vibration often have no good end in the end, even if they do not have the intention of rebellion, they will be jealous of the emperor, and some of them may also be imprisoned on trumped-up charges, and in the end it is difficult to escape death, such as Huo Guang of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian, etc. These people are not in power for a while, and the result is still very miserable, so it can be seen that the powerful ministers are also not good.
Let's take the Qing Dynasty Aobai as an example today to see the glorious moments in his life and the desolation that the wall has pushed behind everyone. Since 1616, when Nurhaci rebelled to establish the Later Jin Khaganate, the cavalry of the Jurchen tribe had been attacking everything, and after twenty years of hard work, Nurhaci's son Huang Taiji established the Qing Dynasty, and in 1661, the 23-year-old Shunzhi Emperor died of illness, and the throne was inherited by the Kangxi Emperor Xuanye.
Because the little emperor was young, at that time the court was governed by four ministers led by Ao Bai, this Ao Bai was a Manchurian yellow flag man, from the Emperor Taiji to the Kangxi succession, he can be called the elder of the Three Dynasties, since the Emperor Taiji ruled, Ao Bai was known as the first warrior of Manchuria, and after the young Kangxi succeeded to the throne, Ao Bai had great seniority in the army, he controlled the government, and the party henchmen could be said to be all over the government and the opposition.
Originally Ao Bai was still very loyal to the royal family, but Kangxi was young, he gradually began to be proud of his achievements, he was tyrannical in the middle of the dynasty, even Kangxi did not pay attention to it, there was often a suspicion of trespassing between his behaviors, Kangxi gradually grew up, his dissatisfaction with Ao Bai began to increase day by day, he very much wanted to pull out this nail in the eye, in order to overthrow Ao Bai and eliminate his henchmen, Kangxi specially organized a group of teenagers in secret, instilled them the idea of loyalty, and made them practice wrestling day and night.
In fact, the plot behind everyone is also clear, in the eighth year of Kangxi, Kangxi alone let Ao Bai enter the palace, and set layers of traps in the palace, and a group of warriors rushed up, and finally captured the first warrior of Manchuria, and since then Ao Bai has become a prisoner of Kangxi's subordinates.
As soon as Ao Bai was arrested, he began to panic as the Yu Dang in the middle of the court, and this wall fell on everyone, so many people played it one after another, listing dozens of crimes against Ao Bai, drawing a clear line with him, and finally Kangxi listed the thirty major crimes of Ao Bai, but because of his military achievements in previous years, he was not executed, and Ao Bai was imprisoned to death.
When Aobai was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by raiders, how did Kangxi treat his wife and children? Maybe it is not the same as some friends think, after the death of Aobai, his son-in-law Prince Jingjin was demoted to the position of Duke of Zhenguo, and his son was supposed to be executed, and after Kangxi personally interrogated him, he ordered that he had served for a long time and could not bear to be executed, so this Namfu was imprisoned for a period of time and was released.
In the fifty-second year of Kangxi, Kangxi recalled the merits of Aobai in the past, and restored his title, after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Aobai was posthumously awarded the title of First Rank Super Martial Duke, and his people continued to be hereditary, so compared to other ancient courtiers, the ending of Aobai was still lucky.
