The fact that soetu and pearl can appear at the Kangxi Emperor's Banquet of thousands of sons shows that the Kangxi Emperor still remembers their merits, which is a compliment to them and a recognition of their positive role.
In the "Kangxi Dynasty", kangxi held a grand "feast of a thousand monks" on the occasion of his sixty years on the throne, and while the whole world was jubilant and congratulated Kangxi on his prosperity, it showed the prosperity of the four seas and the people living and working in peace and contentment.
The people invited by Kangxi to participate in the "Feast of a Thousand Sorrows" were the elderly of all nationalities, including manchus, Mongolians, Han, Tibetans, and Hui, and people who had made meritorious contributions to Kangxi and even the entire Qing Dynasty. The old man in the feudal society of ancient China had a lofty status and was respected, and this time it was the emperor who took the initiative to invite and drink and eat together, which can be said to give all these old people face, and also show kangxi's respect for these old people and these heroes.
Under such circumstances, inviting Suo Etu and Mingzhu to participate in this "Feast of a Thousand Sorrows" just shows Kangxi's recognition of Suo Etu and Mingzhu's past achievements, which is also a respect for them.
First, let's talk about the soe diagram.
Soetu was the father of Kangxi's wife Empress Hesheri, who was also kangxi's abbot, and the Hersheli family played an important role in helping Kangxi get rid of the Aobai clique, coupled with the deep affection between Kangxi and Empress Hesheri, which made Soetu's power and status continue to increase, and the scenery was unlimited.
As an important minister in the dynasty, Soetu also played an active role in the process of pacifying san francisco, conquering Taiwan, and resisting Tsarist Russia, and also actively assisted Kangxi in handling government affairs, becoming a powerful minister that Kangxi relied on.
If it were not for his lust for power, his collusion with Yang Qilong, and his instigation of the prince's attempt to commit rebellion, the end of Suo Etu would have been incomparably beautiful, but now everything is an endless torture in his heart, he is ashamed of his father Sony, his daughter Empress Hesheli, he is ashamed of the prince Yinrong who was pit by him, and even more ashamed of the Kangxi Emperor, who relies heavily on him and is very important.
Let's talk about the pearl.
Mingzhu did not want to be like Suo'etu, with a good father and a contentious daughter, Mingzhu was able to walk to the power center of the Kangxi Dynasty, more by her own efforts. Especially in some of the decisions of the kangxi dynasty in the first and middle periods of the Kangxi Dynasty, Mingzhu and the Kangxi Emperor's inner thoughts maintained a high degree of consistency, from supporting the resolute removal of Aobai, to supporting Kangxi's resolute abolition of San Francisco, to treating the Taiwan Zheng clique with a consuring attitude, until the final armed confrontation with Kaldan, Mingzhu supported the Kangxi Emperor in every key decision.
At the same time, Mingzhu was the elder brother of the Kangxi Emperor's concubine, and he was also the eldest brother-in-law of the Kangxi Emperor, with such an identity and political achievements, he should also have a place in Kangxi's "Feast of a Thousand Sorrows", but Mingzhu TongsuoTu, like a covetous of power, was even more involved in the struggle between the princes, so he also let himself be discredited.
It can be seen that Kangxi invited Soetu and Mingzhu to come to the "Feast of a Thousand Sorrows" as a recognition of their past achievements, and the rewards and punishments displayed by Kangxi were clear, and even SuoEtu and Mingzhu were unexpected, so at this time they were still sincerely afraid.
Kangxi feasted on Suo Ertu and Mingzhu and toasted them, but only empty wine glasses were used, which just shows that Kangxi honored their merits, but he would never forgive them for their transgressions.
At the "Feast of the Thousand Sorrows", Kangxi toasted to all the invited old people, and at the same time he also made a special toast to Empress Xiaozhuang and all his enemies.
Empress Xiaozhuang, because without Empress Xiaozhuang's love from childhood, Kangxi could not sit on the throne, and after that, he supported Kangxi all the way and helped Kangxi through the most difficult moments, Xiaozhuang was as kind as a mountain to Kangxi, and it became reasonable for Kangxi to pay tribute to Xiaozhuang.
For Kangxi, his enemies were the driving force for Kangxi to gradually become powerful, from Aobai, Wu Sangui, Zhu Sanzi, to the later Zheng Jing and Gardan, they all caused great trouble to Kangxi, but at the same time Kangxi also grew in their game and finally won the victory of the Kangxi Emperor without exception. Toasting to them is a pity between heroes and heroes, and it is also Kangxi's declaration of victory.
For them, Kangxi filled the cup with wine, and this also shows that this is Kangxi's heartfelt gratitude and expression of his own respect. Correspondingly, for Soetu and Mingzhu, Kangxi was toasted with empty ones, or because of the unforgivable mistakes of Soetu and Mingzhu.
Suo Ertu was called "the first criminal minister of the dynasty" by Kangxi.
The reason why Kangxi called Suo'etu in this way was because of the relationship between the crown prince Andu.
Yin Rong was born to Kangxi and Empress Hesheli, and was made crown prince by Kangxi at birth, and Kangxi spent half his life trying to train him to become a qualified successor. However, for the sake of his own power and the continuation of his position in the dynasty, Soetu actually used the daughter of Yang Qilong, the third prince of Zhu, as a diversion, to control Yin, and several times tried to subvert Kangxi and let Yin Rong succeed to the throne in advance, it can be said that Suo Etu's behavior has completely constituted a rebellion and shaken the foundation of the rule of this dynasty.
Suo Etugui was the abbot of the state, a heavy courtier of the imperial court and a relative of the emperor, and he had such a rebellious behavior, and Kangxi's resentment towards Suo Etu could also be imagined.
Mingzhu was also hated by Kangxi because of the party struggle and the struggle for the concubine.
All along, in order to seize power with the Suo'ertu regime and develop their own forces, Mingzhu has been corrupt, snaring party henchmen, forming parties for personal gain, and excluding dissidents, causing a miasma of smoke in the court, and Zhou Peigong, Yao Qisheng, Li Guangdi, and others have all been attacked and ostracized by Mingzhu and others without exception, and have become a cancer in the court.
More importantly, it was precisely because Mingzhu strongly supported his nephew, the eldest brother Yinzhen constantly challenged the prestige of the crown prince, coveted the position of crown prince, and took the lead in provoking a dispute over concubines, causing fratricide and brotherhood, and triggering more fierce party struggles in the court, which made Kangxi extremely dissatisfied.
It can be seen that their merits were remembered by Kangxi and invited them to a banquet, but for their sins, Kangxi was not prepared to forgive, so the empty wine glass for them was in stark contrast to the full glass of wine poured by Kangxi Jing Xiaozhuang and others, which further highlighted Kangxi's inner pain and complicated feelings for the two, but the hatred for them was far greater than the gratitude for the two.
In the Kangxi Dynasty, Kangxi invited SuoEtu and Mingzhu to participate in the "Feast of a Thousand Sorrows", which did not exist in history, because neither Suoetu nor Mingzhu lived to the old age of Kangxi.
Among the two of them, as in the plot of "Kangxi Dynasty", the first to fall is Mingzhu, and the impeachment of Mingzhu is not Li Guangdi, but smaller than Jackie Chan.
In the twenty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1688), Mingzhu reported to his cohort Yu Guozhu that his henchman Yu Guozhu had betrayed the official Yu Guozhu for the Kangxi Emperor, and although the official was reinstated, he was never reused by Kangxi. Until the forty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1708), Mingzhu died.
Another point to be noted is that the eldest brother's birth mother, Huifei Nalashi, is not Mingzhu's sister, but Mingzhu's cousin,, so the eldest brother should not call Mingzhu an uncle, but an uncle.
Soetu's ending is even more tragic.
Due to the fall of the Pearl, Suo'etu was even more unscrupulous in excluding dissidents, and the Kangxi Emperor was already greatly dissatisfied with it. In the forty-first year of Kangxi (1702), when the Kangxi Emperor toured the south, when he went to Dezhou, the crown prince Yinrong was seriously ill, and Kangxi urgently summoned Suo Ertu to come and take care of the prince Yinrong, and Suo Etu and the prince spent a long time together, and after that, the prince's various vices were all exposed at once, and they became more and more intense. As a result, Kangxi's disappointment in Yin Rong was all vented on Suo Etu's body, and this directly led to the tragic end of Soe tu being imprisoned by Kangxi in the forty-second year of Kangxi (1703) and then starving to death. And a few years later, he also labeled Suo'etu as the "first criminal minister of the dynasty", which shows Kangxi's deep hatred for Suo'ertu.
And the two from the position of extremely popular subjects to the rapid fall, in addition to the two people formed a party for personal gain, crushed each other, touched the majesty of the imperial rule, for the sake of personal and family political interests, the transition to participate in the struggle between the crown prince and the concubine, and then greatly shake the foundation of the rule, but also became an important reason for the final tragic end of the two.
