The first time Kangxi saw the 12-year-old Qianlong, he immediately put down his wine glass in shock, what was the reason for this?
Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of 8 and pro-government at the age of 14, reigned for 61 years, experienced political struggles and various wars, made many achievements, and has been revered by future generations. In his later years, the Kangxi Emperor was deeply affected by the struggle for the throne, which led to political corruption and exhaustion in the late period, and many people now believe that Yongzheng's success in seizing the throne is related to the fact that his son Hongli was deeply loved by his father Kangxi, who wanted Hongli to become the heir of the next generation.
Once when I was on a walk with the Emperor. The fourth brother said something casually. He said his two sons had not yet met the emperor. I wondered if I could come out and let the emperor see. The emperor immediately agreed. The two sons came to the emperor and performed a ritual according to their usual customs. Kangxi took a look at it and immediately put down the wine glass in his hand.
Kangxi pointed out that he wanted to see Hongli's mother, and Kangxi stared at it for a long time, and then said "blessed person" three times in a row. She eventually lived to be in her eighties. Such an exaggeration of how hongli and Kangxi are, is nothing more than to show a point of view, Kangxi chuan is located in the fourth master, that is because of the Hongli calendar. Kangxi felt that he did not have much time, and regretted that he had seen Hongli late, otherwise he would have personally cultivated.
It should be known that "raising the emperor's grandson" was a great grace at that time, and among so many grandchildren of Kangxi, only the eldest son of the prince, Hongyao, had this kind of treatment, and there is no doubt that Hongli's child was very lucky. It can be said that this fate of the grandfather and grandson was one of the important reasons why Hongli was able to ascend to the throne of God later, and Yongzheng was able to succeed him as emperor, which is not unrelated to this.
