Let's first examine the background of Roncodo.
In the Yongzheng Dynasty, Long Keduo is a member of the Tong Jia clan of the Hao clan in the early Qing Dynasty. Since guanwai, the Tong Jia clan has been in solidarity with the Ai Xinjue Luo clan, and has contact and affinity, and has produced two empresses, Empress Xiaokangzhuang and Empress Xiaoyiren, and many people have become big figures in the political arena of the early Qing Dynasty, such as Tong Guogang who died on the battlefield, Tong Guowei, who is known as the "Tong Half Dynasty", and so on. In the play, Tong Guowei, as the head of the upper study, had high prestige and great power in the late years of the Kangxi Dynasty, and he was the sixth uncle of Long Keduo.
Therefore, Roncodo was from a noble family, and he had such a powerful uncle. With such a background, Roncodo can be described as a typical second-generation official, and the possibility of serving as the Admiral of the Nine Doors is obviously much easier than others.
And in the play, Roncodo is not a mediocre incompetent. In other words, he was also trained.
We can learn from the play that Long Keduo once followed Kangxi on the Dzungar campaign and fought alongside the thirteenth master Yin Xiang. Moreover, he also made military achievements in the war, and the Kangxi Emperor was very happy and gave him a sword on the spot. After that, Tong Guowei deliberately kept him away from the power center of the capital and sent him to Guanwai to lead troops, but because he was not willing to stay outside Guanwai, he became a deserter and ran back to Beijing from Guanwai.
So, why did Roncodo become a small court keeper?
In the play, after Roncodo ran back to Beijing from outside guanwai, he had no official position and no money, so he found a loan from the household department. But then the Yellow River flooded, and the national treasury could not come up with money for disaster relief, and it turned out that it was all lent out. Kangxi was furious and decided to send the four brothers Tou yinchen to chase after the arrears of the state treasury. In order to repay the money, Long Keduo could only sell the Imperial Treasure Sword to pay off the debt, and then he squatted at the door of Tong Guowei Mansion every day, so that he could say that he had to let the sixth uncle find a new errand for him.
In the end, Tong Guowei finally gave Long Ke another errand, that is, the guard of the Li Fan Yuan.
I thought that Uncle Six would give him a decent errand, but he only asked for a position of cell head, but under the eaves, Roncodo had to bow his head with a black face, run to the Li Fan Temple to do nothing, and played giant mahjong.
But Tong Guowei did not mean to perfunctory Long keduo, he had his own considerations. On the one hand, the nine sons of the concubine gradually fell into a white-hot, Long Keduo, as the next generation of Tong Jia's helmsman, if he fell into the middle of the crown prince's conquest too deeply, once he stood in the wrong team, it was easy to lose everything, so Tong Guowei temporarily hid LongKeduo snow to avoid him from taking a wrong step and harming the whole family.
On the other hand, at this time, the crown prince Yinrong was deposed for the first time, and the situation of taking the concubine immediately became tense, at the same time, the thirteenth master Yinxiang happened to be imprisoned in the Li Fan Yuan, Tong Guowei watched the situation and found that although the eighth master Yinchen was hot, Kangxi's attitude was very ambiguous, and the fourth master Yinxiang was mature and stable, and the hope was not small.
Therefore, he wanted to take the opportunity of the Thirteenth Master's imprisonment in the Li Domain To strengthen the relationship with Yin Xiang as a guardian, thus strengthening the relationship between Tong Jia and the Fourth Master Yin Chan. In this way, Tong Guowei supported the Eight Ye Party, and Long Keduo defected to the Four Masters Party, which fully guaranteed the family interests of Tong Jia.
Sure enough, later Kangxi advocated attacking the Eight Ye Party and made a political deal with Tong Guowei. With the close cooperation of these two, the Eight Ye Party suffered a major blow, and Long Keduo was named the Viceroy of the Nine Doors, and successfully entered the political arena, becoming a sword left by Kangxi to the fourth master Yin Chan at the critical moment of the succession.
Therefore, Long Keduo was able to jump from the guard of the Li Clan to the viceroy of the Nine Doors, which was also a clever arrangement between Kangxi and Tong Guowei.
