The Qing Dynasty was a feudal dynasty after The History of China, which lasted for a total of 296 years from the time when Emperor Taiji changed the name of the country to the Great Qing Dynasty, and a total of 12 emperors were passed on. The period when the Qing Dynasty developed to the peak is undoubtedly the famous "Kang Yongqian Prosperous Era" in history, which experienced three generations of emperors of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, lasting 123 years, after which the Qing Dynasty began to decline from prosperity to decline until its demise in 1912.
The founder of Kang Yongqian's prosperous life is undoubtedly Kangxi, who ascended the throne at the age of 8 and pro-government at the age of 16. At the beginning of Kangxi's succession, the domestic and international situation was very severe, first of all, because Shunzhi died early, Kangxi was still young. On his deathbed, the Shunzhi Emperor appointed Sonny, Suksaha, Shubilong, and Aobai as the four assistant ministers.
However, these four auxiliary ministers were intrigued because of the contradictions between the rights, and in the end, Ao Bai gradually monopolized real power, and after the Ao Bai dictatorship, he was arrogant and arrogant, and did not pay attention to Kangxi at all. However, after Kangxi came to power, he killed Aobai in one fell swoop, eliminated his henchmen, and practiced the power of the government, when Kangxi was only a teenager.
The fight between the courtiers was easy to handle, but the fight between his own sons gave Kangxi a headache. In the fourteenth year of Kangxi (1675), Kangxi made the two-year-old Brother Yinrong crown prince, but when the prince grew up, he became arrogant and arrogant, and the relationship between father and son became very tense.
Finally, in the forty-seventh year of The Kangxi Dynasty (1708), Kangxi abolished Yin Rong's crown princeship, which later triggered many brothers to covet the throne, which led to the "Nine Sons and Concubines" dispute, which began in 1708 and lasted until Kangxi's death in 1722, and was finally succeeded by Yongzheng.
In fact, Yongzheng is not the most optimistic one among the brothers, and many historians believe that the reason why Yongzheng can win from the "Nine Sons and Concubines" is because Kangxi wants to pass the throne to his grandson Qianlong, so he must first pass the throne to Yongzheng, does Kangxi really like Qianlong so much?
According to historical records, once Kangxi took advantage of his free time, he came to yongzheng mansion to play, Yongzheng naturally warmly entertained Kangxi, when the two talked about it, Yongzheng mentioned it in passing, one of his two sons is Hongli and the other is Hongzhi, we know that Hongli is Qianlong's real name.
Kangxi had many sons, and hundreds of grandchildren. Coupled with busy business, many grandchildren have not even seen their grandfather in their teens. The first time Kangxi saw Hongli, he had a very good feeling, first of all, because Hongli was beautiful and handsome, and he was not timid when he saw himself, and his speech and demeanor were generous.
Kangxi remembered that he was not like this when he was a teenager? Subsequently, Kangxi examined some questions about Hongli, but he did not expect that he would answer them all like a stream. Kangxi asked Hongli about his age, and Hongli replied, "12 years old", Kangxi was so surprised that even the wine glass fell to the ground, and he groaned in his heart: This son will be the talent of the emperor in the future.
After returning to the palace, Kangxi immediately ordered people to come to the birthday eight characters of the Hongli calendar, kangxi was even more ecstatic after seeing the birthday eight characters, born rich and noble, the future dynasty's Zhongxing will rely on him. Therefore, Kangxi ordered the people to take Hongli to the palace for personal upbringing, and in his heart, he had already designated Yongzheng as the heir. After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Hongli naturally became the perfect candidate for the crown prince.
