Speaking of this, it can be seen that the identities of the three ministers are very prominent, and they are all ministers relied on by the Kangxi Emperor, and the officials hold high and important positions, but their careers are full of twists and turns, what is the final outcome?
Soetu went from totalitarian vassal to first sinner
Suo Etu was a key figure in the early days of Kangxi's pro-government, removing the power-leaning Ao bai and his henchmen, and thus gaining Kangxi's trust.
In the twenty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1688), Soetu was appointed as an ambassador of the Qing Dynasty, responsible for the negotiations between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia on the northeast border of China, and finally signed the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nebuchu.
In the twenty-ninth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1690), Suo Ertu was ordered to quell the rebellion of Kaldan, but because he did not lead his troops to pursue the enemy, he was demoted to the fourth rank, and seven years later he accompanied Kangxi on the expedition and was restored to his original rank.
Suo Etu had a prominent family background, coupled with outstanding merits, so that the Kangxi Emperor was very important to him, and the court also had a very high reputation.
Soetu and Mingzhu have always been open and secret struggles in the DPRK, and the balance of power has passed, and Kangxi turned a blind eye to the past, but many ministers who catered to the situation took sides one after another, and slowly formed two major parties.
The "Qing History Manuscript and Biography of the Pearl" records: "The party is mutually planted with Soetu. Suo Ertu was born noble and prosperous, sexually wanton, and those who did not attach themselves to him were reprimanded, and Yu Yu was the only one who kissed Li Guangdi. Mingzhu is gentle and gentle, light on wealth and good charity, in order to attract new entrants, and those who are different are trapped by conspiracies, and they are bound by Xu Qianxue and so on. Suo Ertu was kind to the crown prince, and the pearl was the opposite, and the courtiers who served the crown prince were all reprimanded. ”
Crown Prince Yinru was the nephew of Suo Etu, Kangxi in order to protect the prince's power in the imperial court, Soe tu became the most suitable candidate, the relationship between the prince and Soe Tu became closer and closer, Soe Tu began to actively advise the prince, using his relationship to find ways to win over the ministers to support the prince, as things developed more and more seriously, Kangxi realized the threat of the prince and Soe tu.
In the forty-first year of Kangxi (1702), on the way to the south, he went to the prince of Texas and fell ill, kangxi asked Soetu to accompany the prince in Texas to recuperate, Kangxi moved, intending to test the two, and finally found evidence that the two were conspiring to take the throne.
The Kangxi Emperor's definition of the charge of Suo'ertu in his edict was: "Whatever er does, there is no improper reprimand at any end." ”
In the forty-second year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1703), Suo'etu was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion.
The Kangxi Emperor's sin against Suo'ertu, the Qing History Manuscript, Liechuan Fifty-Six, contains:
Soe-e-tu helps Yun-ryu to plot a big deal, and when he learns of his feelings, he executes Soe-e-tu. Now Yun Lun wants to avenge Soeto, which makes Shu Shu cautious. Xi Suo's forehead was selfish, and he proposed that the crown prince use yellow to serve the imperial furniture, and all the rituals were similar to those of Yuan. This is the reason for the arrogance. Soetu Cheng was also the first sinner of this dynasty!
In the forty-second year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1703), Soetu was given death by the Kangxi Emperor at the age of 67.
The bright path of Suo Ertu, should not have touched the things that Kangxi cared about most, fell into captivity, and the hard work he made was also covered up by the "first sinner of this dynasty".
The pearl went from humerus to no one
Compared with Suo Etu, Mingzhu was humble and rose to a high position step by step, and the ministers in the imperial court called him "Ming Xiang".
After Kangxi was pro-government, after dealing with Aobai, there was a more difficult problem: the abolition of San Francisco.
At this time, the "head of the Three Domains" Wu Sangui, in the imperial court tree deep roots, uprooted is difficult, the pearl conforms to Kangxi's proposal to withdraw, after the San Francisco is pacified, Kangxi began to reuse the pearl, he played an important role in recovering Taiwan and defending against Tsarist Russia, for a while the pearl power fell to the opposition, with Kangxi's preference for him, the pearl revealed its true face, he constantly encircled "his own people", accepted bribes, sold officials and lords, and was rampant to the extreme.
In the twenty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1687), The Directly Subordinate Inspector Yu Jackie Chan (less than Jackie Chan) secretly played to the Kangxi Emperor: "The official has been sold out by Mingzhu and Yu Guozhu. ”
Not long after, in the twenty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1688), Yushi Guoxuan impeached Mingzhu: forming a party for personal gain and excluding dissidents.
Kangxi therefore began to investigate thoroughly, and at this point Mingzhu lost his position and was deposed from his official position, but when Kangxi marched west to Gardan, he was ordered to accompany him, and although the official was reinstated after returning to Beijing, he was never reused by the Kangxi Emperor since then.
On April 15, the forty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1708), Nalan Mingzhu died, and Kangxi sent the third prince Yin Zhi to pay tribute.
Compared with Suo Etu's life, the end of the pearl is still OK, although he fell in his later years, he has always served in the imperial court.
The "Tong Half Dynasty" of Root Zheng Miao Hong was able to die well
The blood relationship between Tong Guowei and Kangxi is different from that of Suo Ertu and Mingzhu, and tong Guowei, as the emperor's uncle and father-in-law, has always been cautious and cautious in doing things, and has not been proud of his own identity.
In the ninth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1670), Tong Guowei was awarded the title of Minister of the Interior for arresting Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong.
In the twenty-first year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1682), Tong Guowei was appointed minister of parliament, the highest position in his life, but an official position with no real power.
In the twenty-ninth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1690), the Kangxi Emperor ordered a crusade against Gardan, Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei were summoned to Ulan Butong, in this conquest his brother Tong Guogang was killed, Tong Guowei was deposed by Kangxi for not pursuing the enemy army, and in the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi, Tong Guowei again went out to attack Gardan and won the victory.
In the forty-third year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1704), Tong Guowei was deposed by the Kangxi Emperor on the grounds of old age.
After Tong Guowei was resigned, he should have raised flowers and vegetables at home and enjoyed his old age, but he was uneasy, but he was going to get involved in the struggle for the crown prince's throne, seeing that the prince was deposed, Tong Guowei immediately sided with the eighth prince Yin Yu, Kangxi was very aware of the situation at that time, very dissatisfied with Tong Guowei's move, summoned him to the palace to reprimand him, warned Tong Guowei to spare the family not to interfere in the affairs of the crown prince, and then Tong Guowei's explanation caused Kangxi to be even more angry.
The Draft History of the Qing Dynasty records that "Er Nai was the uncle of the state, and he was also a minister." The crown prince was infected with madness before, and he became a national plan, can he not be stubborn? After knowing that the people are calming down the evil, the cure is completely healed, and can they be released? When he was detaining the crown prince, he had no other intentions. I don't know if Er er is speaking loudly and fiercely, so why should he be hearted? When the ministers heard this, everyone was afraid, so they wanted to make Yun Yu the crown prince and list him as a bao. ”
After a reprimand from Kangxi, Tong Guowei did not interfere like Suo Etu, causing serious consequences, and the Kangxi Emperor no longer held him responsible.
In the fifty-eighth year of The Kangxi Dynasty, Tong Guowei died, and Kangxi gave him a sacrifice. In the first year of Yongzheng, he was given to Taifu and enjoyed mourning after his death.
Looking at the three people, all of them were from noble origins, their families were prominent, Suo Ertu and Mingzhu were too high-profile officials, they formed parties for personal gain, and party strife seriously threatened Kangxi's imperial power, and with the lessons of Ao Bai and Wu Sangui, how could Kangxi tolerate such a thing being repeated, in comparison, Tong Guowei's sins were almost negligible, and they ended up with a happy ending.
