The Qing Dynasty was the last unified dynasty in China's feudal society, which lasted 276 years and passed on 10 emperors. Among these emperors, the most admirable, almost all of whom are recognized as the fourth emperor, Ai Xin Jueluo Xuanye, the Qing Emperor Zuren Emperor Kangxi. Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of 8, took over the power of the chancellor Aobai at the age of 14 and began to pro-government, died at the age of 69, reigning for a total of 61 years, the longest reigning emperor in Chinese history. During his reign, he exerted great efforts to govern, successively abolished the enclosure, quelled the Sanpan Rebellion, recovered Taiwan, and the Rebellion of The Inner PingGardan, and drove out the invading army of Tsarist Russia, while at the same time vigorously rectifying the administration of officials, expanding the sources of wealth, cultivating the people's livelihood, creating the prosperous era of Kangqian, bringing the national strength of the Qing Dynasty into the heyday, and being called "the first emperor of the ages" by later generations.
As an emperor with a heart for the world, talent and wisdom, learning from ancient and modern times, and decisive killing, there are very few people and things that can make it difficult for Kangxi. However, as the saying goes, everything is difficult but family affairs, and Kangxi was also troubled in handling family affairs, which even made him uneasy in his later years. The greatest family affair of the emperor's family was the establishment of the succession to the throne, and he had already planned in this regard. In 1675, Empress Herschel had difficulty giving birth and died after giving birth to the second brother Yin, Kangxi was very sad, and when he was about to make Yin Rong crown prince, in order to make Empress An's heart. Unexpectedly, the crown prince Yin Rong became arrogant and arrogant when he grew up, and formed a party for personal gain, and repeatedly did great disrespectful things, which greatly disappointed Kangxi. Therefore, he abolished Yin Rong, erected and abolished, and finally imprisoned forever.
At this time, Kangxi already had more than 20 children, and there were more than a dozen adults alone. Faced with the vacant position of prince again and again, the princes began to cross the sea with eight immortals, each showing his divine powers and fighting endlessly. During this period, the eldest brother and the third brother successively fell from power and withdrew from the competition, and the princes gradually formed two factions led by the four brothers and the eight brothers. As the days passed, Kangxi grew older and older, but the position of prince was always high. In 1722, Kangxi was already sick, and knowing that time was short, he began to consider how to pass the throne, but no matter who the throne was passed to, there must be a few people who could live in the town to ensure the smooth handover of the throne. In addition to Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi, and other ministers in front of them, they also needed to find a leader to back them up. Thinking about it, he thought of Roncodo, who held the strength of the guards of the Beijing Division. This person was the son of Tong Guowei, a first-class duke, and had a reliable family and could take on great responsibilities.
Soon, the commander of the Infantry Infantry of the Beijing Division, Roncodo, was ordered to visit him. Although the position of commander of the infantry of the Beijing Division was important, it was not of high rank, and Longkodo rarely had the opportunity to be summoned by the emperor in person, and it was summoned in the palace. Despite the drumming in his heart, after arriving outside the Kangxi Palace, he immediately changed into a solemn and old-fashioned appearance, and according to the eunuch's arrangement, he bent down to enter the palace, knelt down in the designated position, and said loudly: "Slave Talent LongKodo respectfully asks long live Jin An." ”
Kangxi was half lying on the bed, half a day did not respond, for a long time before he began to speak: "On the division of generations, You should call you a cousin, now that You are old and about to return to heaven, there are important things to entrust to you, and I want to appoint you as an auxiliary minister, in order to exert your strength, what do you mean?" Long Keduo was kneeling on the ground and thinking wildly, at first hearing that the emperor actually wanted to make himself an assistant minister, this is a small person like himself, never dared to think of a good thing, for a moment his heart suddenly jumped, he could not understand the emperor's intentions, but the 4 words of the assistant minister were real. Without thinking too much, Long Keduo slammed his head on the ground fiercely: "Long live Xie, but the slave He De He can, the emperor is so valued, he is afraid, everything depends on the emperor." ”
Kangxi nodded slightly, and said, "That's it, the Holy Will has been drawn up, let's show it to you first," and then motioned to the eunuch to hand the written Holy Will to Long Keduo. Roncodo raised his arms above his head, took the holy will that carried his dream of flying yellow and tengda, opened it with trembling, took a deep breath, and fixed his eyes on it. Only to see that the holy will read impressively: Chalong Kodo Party attaches to the prince, chaos and harm to the people, and then give death, admire this! Long Ke was surprised, he did not expect that the holy will was such a content, his face suddenly became pale, an excited and fiery heart fell into the thousand-year-old ice cave, dead and cold, almost frightened, he braced his body, returned the holy will to the eunuch, slammed his head several times, opened his eyes in shock, and unconsciously burst into tears: "Long live, slaves are guilty, but why is this?" ”
Kangxi looked as usual and said calmly, "Don't be nervous, the joy of life, the sorrow of death, give you all today, if you are loyal to the country, the holy will you see will naturally end; if you do evil, the day the new king ascends the throne is your death." Long Keduo fell to the ground, and it took half a day to come back to his senses, and when he understood Kangxi's words, he did not know whether he was sad or happy, and he was trembling all over his body, and finally he began to cry. On December 20 of the same year, the Kangxi Emperor died at the Qingxi Bookstore in Beijing's Changchun Garden, and Long Keduo was ordered to read out the will: "The fourth son of the Yong Emperor Yin Chan, who is of noble character and deep in character, will be able to inherit the throne, and succeed to the throne as emperor." "On that day, Yongzheng ascended the throne, Longke Duojin Prime Minister of Affairs, attacked the first class duke, conferred the official Shangshu, the emperor called his uncle without a name, and since then, he has soared to the throne, and for a time, he has become a person who has been in power in the early days of Yongzheng.
