Ancient Chinese readers pay attention to "learning and excellence", after entering the career, they will want to be a very popular subject, to achieve ten thousand people under one person, and after the real extreme people need to consider the rapids of courageous retreat, if you do not retreat for a long time, then become a powerful minister, and the power minister usually has no good end in history, whether it is Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty or the Aobai of the Qing Dynasty.
Born in 1610, Aobai was a Manchurian with a yellow flag, his grandfather Surgo was the leader of the Suquan tribe, his uncle Fei Yingdong was the founding father of Houjin, his father Wei Qi was the Eight Gate Viceroy, which can be said to be a full-fledged nobleman, and he can also be regarded as a person born with a golden key, a proper official of the third generation.
Born in such a family lineage, what kind of education Ao Bai experienced when he was a child, it is natural to imagine that he began to learn horseback archery from a young age, proficient in various martial arts, and deeply studied the Manchu Qing military textbook "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", for many of the three kingdoms stories can be told, can be regarded as a talent of both literature and martial arts, and when he reaches adulthood, he will begin to fight on the battlefield like his father and grandfather, and exchange his riding and shooting skills for military merit.
In the second year of Chongde (1637), Aobai took the initiative to make a military order in front of Emperor Taiji, saying that he would definitely attack the Phi Island occupied by the Ming general Mao Wenlong, he braved the artillery fire and bows and arrows of the Ming army, and continued to attack the Ming army position to carry out hand-to-hand combat, and his charge tore a gap in the defense of the Ming army that was waiting in strict position, so that the subsequent Qing army could keep up, so he successfully occupied the strategic Phi Island, and Ao Bai was therefore promoted to the knight.
In the sixth year of Chongde (1641), Aobai defeated the Ming army five times, played a major role in the Manchu Victory in the Battle of Songjin, and became an extremely prominent member of the Manchu Generals. After the Manchu Qing entered the pass, Aobai repeatedly defeated the peasant rebel army led by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others, and achieved extremely high prestige, and the Manchu officials respected them very much.
When the young Shunzhi Emperor died in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (1661), the meritorious Aobai was appointed as an auxiliary chancellor to assist the young Kangxi Emperor in governing the dynasty. Aobai did not take the eight-year-old Kangxi in his eyes, and he quickly took the government into his hands, not only handling the government with full authority, but also having all kinds of disrespectful actions toward Kangxi.
Kangxi was naturally very unhappy with this behavior of Aobai, and he slowly accumulated strength, and finally set up an ambush at the age of fourteen, successfully killing Aobai, regaining the power that should have belonged to him, and opening the road of pro-government. And after he successfully killed the powerful minister Ao Bai, how did he treat Ao Bai's wife and children? I believe the answer is somewhat unexpected.
Although Kangxi copied Aobai's home, but did not affect his wife and children, and later restored Aobai's title, and let his descendants hereditary replacement, generations of Nobles of the Qing Dynasty, from this final ending, Aobai is still relatively lucky, and Kangxi's approach also confirms that he is indeed worthy of being able to become an emperor of the ages.
