I believe that many readers will not be unfamiliar with the story behind this topic. In 1669, when the famous Ming Emperor Kangxi Emperor summoned his minister Ao bai, he ordered a group of teenagers to capture him and then imprison him.
A wise courtier in the early Qing Dynasty was thus taken care of by a more intelligent emperor. But before I say why the emperor used a group of teenagers instead of palace masters to do this, I would like to talk about Ao Bai this person. He was different from the general rulers who were in charge of the chaos of the government.
First, he came to power in his later years. From his youth to his prime, he was a brave general and a loyal courtier. In his early enlistment, he experienced the wars of Phi Dao and Song Jin, and played an important role.
And these two battles, one made him a warrior, the other made him a central figure in the army. Incidentally, the victory in the latter Battle of Songjin also guaranteed entry. After that, he experienced two monarchs, and by the time of Kangxi, he was already the elder of the Three Dynasties. It was also during this period that the emperor was young, and he and several other ministers became auxiliary ministers.
Thus he began to slowly become dictatorial. All of the above is related to today's problems. Well, let's talk specifically about why Kangxi used a group of teenagers to get Ao bai, for the following three reasons.
First, paralyze the other side
Friends who know something about this history must know that during the period of the dictatorship, the little emperor's every move was controlled and monitored by him.
When the emperor was still young, it was okay, but the emperor grew up day by day, and until he was fourteen years old, the situation was bound to change. Because according to the practice of the previous dynasty, the emperor took the throne at a young age and could personally govern until he was fourteen years old.
When this time came, both sides began to think of countermeasures. Ao Bai was thinking about how to make the emperor not pro-government and continue to let the power remain in his hands. From his point of view, it is certain to prevent the emperor from secretly making small moves, especially hiring people to kill himself.
So he would definitely look at ouchi very closely. And the emperor's side was also thinking about how to quietly take down Aobai. The people around him must have been controlled by him, so they couldn't use it. If you look for someone, you can't find a tall samurai who will attract the attention of others.
Therefore, he asked Saltu to help him find a group of teenagers and said that he was practicing wrestling with the emperor. In this way, even if Ao Bai saw these teenagers, he would not be wary, and the purpose of paralyzing him would be achieved.
Second, to get rid of Aobai, you don't need many powerful people
Readers, don't rush to refute me, I know that although this minister is a minister, he came out of the battlefield and is still the "first warrior".
But did you miss a factor, that is, his age at that time. I admit that he was very powerful when he was young, and even killing several people in the enemy army alone was not a problem, about the skills of Gonghe Zilong. But in the year he was brought down, he was already a 60-year-old man.
He was born in 1610, and the year of the incident was 1669. It's not that I don't believe that his sword is not old, but even the most powerful heroes have twilight times. Moreover, in his old age, he no longer personally went to war, and his style in his daily life was not good.
Isn't it normal that your physical fitness is not as good as before? Moreover, in the end, more than one teenager pressed him to the ground, it was more than a dozen, and the Kangxi Emperor was afraid of bad things and specially found such a dozen strong and strong. And for this day, I have been preparing for a long time.
Therefore, the gap in strength between the two sides is obvious, and it is inevitable that Ao Bai will be pressed to the ground and bow down.
Third, the emperor was not sure if the people around him could use it
As I mentioned earlier, in order to prevent the little emperor from making any big moves, Ao Bai had already seen the people around him dead. And with his personality, the guards around the emperor must also have people he arranged to enter.
But despite his carefulness, his opponents were not ordinary people. He was confronted with a man who could rank in the top five of the Ming emperors in the history of our country.
Therefore, for this arrangement of Ao Bai, Kangxi can think of it, and it is precisely because of this that he chooses not to use the people around him. Instead, it is to find someone else, to find someone who will not arouse the suspicion of Ao Bai.
In the end, it turned out that his vision and judgment were very accurate, and his means of bringing down his opponents became a legend.
