It is said that the heart of the emperor is unpredictable, Kangxi, the highly acclaimed emperor, is actually the most difficult to guess, he ascended the throne at the age of 8, pro-government at the age of 14, sat on the throne for 61 years, which is twice as long as the life expectancy of many emperors, not only that, he was young and worshipped, and when he became an adult, he had the ability to pacify the Three Domains, which was called "the emperor of the ages" by later scholars, and it could not be done without some extraordinary means. In his later years, however, Kangxi insisted on asking a man to accompany him to the funeral, and mentioned it twice, and this person was Tong Jia Longkeduo.
Born in Manchuria with a yellow flag, Long Keduo was the younger brother of Empress Xiaoyiren of the Qing Dynasty, and his aunt was Kangxi's biological mother, who was awarded the first class bodyguard in 1688, and was a real family clan at that time, although the merits he made during Kangxi's lifetime were average, but by virtue of his birth, he had a high prestige in the imperial court.
Kangxi had 24 sons, but nine of them were involved in the struggle for concubines, in 1675, the second brother was made a prince when he was 2 years old, Kangxi put all the hopes in his heart on this son, he originally sat firmly on the position of prince, but did not think of making progress, and even formed a party for personal gain, in 1708, Kangxi abolished the position of prince on the grounds of "lawless Zude, not obeying the precepts, but wantonly abusing the people, violent and fornicating", and after a year, he was intolerant and restored his position as prince. It was abolished in March 1712.
Since then, the seat of the middle palace has been vacated, and 9 sons have participated in the battle for the concubine, and the royal struggle is extremely fierce. At that time, the fourth brother Yinchen was a very promising candidate, in the imperial court, internally, he recruited long keduo, the uncle, externally, he had such a general as Nian Qianyao, and finally became the Yongzheng Emperor.
During his reign, Kangxi saw Yin Chan's ambitions and put forward the idea of asking Long Keduo to accompany him to the funeral, and since then Long Keduo has slept restlessly day and night, because the Kangxi Emperor is old and may die at any time, and his life will be difficult to protect at that time.
When Yin Chan learned that his father wanted Long Keduo to accompany him to the funeral, he hurriedly found an opportunity to meet his father, one night, Kangxi invited Yin Chan to drink tea, Yin Chan knocked on the side and asked Kangxi, but that night Kangxi did not say anything, but the next day, not only did not mention long Keduo to accompany the funeral, but also gave him an official knighthood. In 1722, Kangxi died, and that night he also said a sentence to Longkodo: "You must keep your distance from your family and friends in the future, and do not participate in the battle to keep your position." Long Keduo supported the new emperor to ascend the throne, and did not listen to what Kangxi said.
After Yongzheng ascended to the throne, he was still called Uncle Longkeduo, and he also became the only emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to call uncle in front of everyone, and since then Longkeduo has been triumphant and more and more arrogant, after all, he is the minister of the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty who even the emperor has to call uncle. The increasing power in the hands of his courtiers naturally made the emperor dissatisfied, and then, in 1725, he was stripped of his position as commander of the infantry. In 1726, Long Keduo colluded with Nian Tangyao again, and the Kangxi Emperor naturally looked down on them even more, and then eliminated both of them. In 1727, Longkeduo was raided by Yongzheng and imprisoned in the vicinity of Changchun to build a house near Changchun, and a year later, Longkeduo was depressed.
Thinking back to when Kangxi wanted to let Longkeduo be buried, Yongzheng still did not understand the intention, and even thought that this was to suppress himself, until he ascended to the throne, he did not understand that he wanted to get rid of Longkeduo because he was afraid that he would rebel that day, and even cause disaster to the Dynasty and endanger his own Qing Dynasty. When Kangxi wanted to get rid of Longkeduo, he probably couldn't trust his son, afraid that he wouldn't have the ability to control the thieves.
Before Kangxi died, he warned Long Keduo not to form gangs, otherwise his life's merit would eventually fall into the dust, but unfortunately he did not listen to it, if he understood the tips kangxi gave him that night, it would be a good thing to be an uncle respected by the "emperor" after that, when Qingshi left his name, no one would say that he was a thief, and no one would wonder whether he had a leg with the emperor's biological mother, Princess De.
