The two empresses mentioned by Tong Guowei were the Kangxi Emperor's biological mother, Empress Xiaokangzhang, Tong Jiashi, and the Kangxi Emperor's third empress, Empress Xiaoyiren, Tong Jiashi.
The Tong Jia family, together with the Hesheri family and the Pearl family, are known as the "three major foreign relative families" of the Xi Dynasty, and the Tong Jia family is undoubtedly one of the "three major families", with the largest number of officials entering the dynasty, the most powerful family, and the family with the longest glorious existence.
The reason for this is that the two empresses of the Tong Jia family established a close connection between Tong Jia and Kangxi, and became an important political force above the Kangxi Court.
The first empress of the Tong family was the Kangxi Emperor's biological mother, Empress Xiaokangzhang, Tong Jiashi, who was also Tong Guowei's sister.
The second empress of the Tong family, the third empress of the Kangxi Emperor, Empress Xiaoyiren of the Tong Jia clan, was the daughter of Tong Guowei of Tong Guowei.
This also made Tong Guowei both the uncle of the Kangxi Emperor and the father-in-law of the Kangxi Emperor, and his relationship was extremely close.
At the same time, after Tong Guowei thanked the two empresses again, he also thanked Tong Guogang (Tong Guogang in the play is Longkeduo's father, in fact, Tong Guowei is the father of Longkeduo's concubine), Tong Guogang had died in the Battle of Ulanbutong between Kangxi and Kaldan in the twenty-ninth year of Kangxi (1690), and Tong Guogang was also the uncle of the Kangxi Emperor.
Kangxi has already said before that he would invite Tong Guowei to dinner, only talking about the friendship of relatives, not about the courtesy of the monarch, and Tong Guowei also went down the slope and used the two Tong Jia empresses and Tong Guogang to narrow the distance with Kangxi, and more importantly, emphasizing that Kangxi and the entire Tong Jia family were a community of interests concluded in the relationship between in-laws.
After Tong Guowei made Longkeduo the Viceroy of the Nine Doors by Kangxi, he carried out the two EmpressEs of Tong Jia for the benefit of the entire Tong family, not only the present, but also the future.
Kangxi's banquet for Tong Guowei was actually a discussion with Tong Guowei to stage a "double reed" together, which in turn dealt a heavy blow to the Eight Brothers Yin Yu and his henchmen. However, this "double reed" is a bitter meat plan, which is to take Tong Guowei's withdrawal from the court as the result and price, and once Tong Guowei withdraws, then above the court, the Tong family is the spokesman for the interests, which is what Tong Guowei is most assured of.
At this time, Kangxi took the initiative to promote Long Keduo from a guard of Dali Temple, a "deserter" on the northwest battlefield, directly to such an important position as the Governor of the Nine Doors, Tong Guowei was relieved at the same time, he must feel happy, because after he left the court safely, Long Keduo would become his successor, become the new leader of the Tong family and the spokesman for his interests. Kangxi's arrangement also solved Tong Guowei's worries, after all, Tong Guowei was old at this time, and it was only a matter of time before he left the court, but he could complete the transfer and excess of the Tong family's power, no matter what kind of way he left, Tong Guowei was acceptable.
At this time, Tong Guowei thanked Kangxi on behalf of the two empresses, which contained two meanings:
First of all, Tong Guowei is grateful and relieved.
Kangxi remembered his family affection and gave the Tong family enough respect and respect, which made the entire Tong family grateful to Kangxi, including the two deceased empresses and the dead Tong Guogang, which was an expression of current emotions.
Secondly, Tong Guowei said this to remind Kangxi, hoping that Kangxi could remember the relationship between the Tong family and Kangxi.
Being able to give the Tong family glory now, in the same way, after he left the court, he could give Long Keduo and the other children of the Tong family a better future, and the traditions of the Tong family could continue to be carried forward, which was also Tong Guowei's hope and request for Kangxi.
Therefore, Tong Guowei thanked Kangxi on behalf of the two empresses, or hoped that Kangxi could remember the marriage relationship with the Tong family to better take care of the people of the Tong family.
It can be seen from this that Tong Guowei is also painstaking and well-intentioned for the benefit of the entire Tong family.
