Audiences who have watched "Kangxi Dynasty" should be familiar with the character of Aobai, who is nearly two meters long, has a standard Mongolian figure, is large and powerful, and speaks as loud as a bell, and it is no wonder that the Kangxi Emperor at that time would be afraid of him.
However, his strength is far more than this, often rude to the young Kangxi Emperor, for those in power, Ao Bai supports nearly 400,000 soldiers, which is the most terrible place. However, what is puzzling is that he is so powerful, and he has heavy troops, why did he not rebel and stand on his own when the emperor was still young? In fact, there are deep reasons behind it.
First of all, Xiaozhuang would not agree. Empress Xiaozhuang's contribution in the early qing dynasty was very great, and without her support for the new emperor's young grandson, the Qing Dynasty might have looked different. Although Xiaozhuang is a female stream, her attainments in how to win over important subjects and how to make them restrain each other are very high, and it can be said that she is an extremely mature and accomplished politician.
The reason why Aobai was able to support hundreds of thousands of troops, including the "credit" of Xiaozhuang, the early Qing regime was not stable enough, coupled with the relatively short political careers of several emperors, Xiaozhuang attached great importance to the cultivation of Manchu ministers and the suppression of the Han people, and this was strongly supported by Aobai. Therefore, under the mutual support of the two, Ao Bai's power is getting bigger and bigger, but it is precisely because they have worked together, Ao Bai knows the person and means of Filial Piety, and he cannot easily rebel, after all, he has no certainty that he can overcome this female politician.
Secondly, the Shunzhi Emperor was prepared to contain in advance. Many people have a misunderstanding of the Shunzhi Emperor, thinking that he is willful, desperate for love, and has not been the emperor at all, which is actually wrong. During his reign, when Dorgon was in power, the young emperor was well aware of the pain of not being able to hold real power, so after he had real power, he promoted several talented ministers to restrain each other so that he could better control the regime. This decision was undoubtedly extremely unfavorable to Ao bai, and under the restraint of Soetu and others, he did not dare to do anything beyond his authority.
Third, the form of political power was not in his favor. Although he had nearly 400,000 soldiers in his hands, not many of them listened to him. The form of political power in the Qing Dynasty was an absolute totalitarian style, and they had a lot of experience in attracting people's hearts and brainwashing, from the beginning of the heavy courtiers kneeling down to the back must call themselves slaves, the Qing government has been solidifying this kind of thinking. This also led to the fact that even if a certain heavy minister had heavy troops in his hands, it was impossible for him to use these soldiers as a chip to overthrow the rule of the Qing Dynasty.
Fourth, Ao bai himself had no intention of rebellion at all. Although Ao Bai was stubborn and disrespectful to the young emperor, he never had the heart to rebel. Ao Bai was originally from a military family, and he was an authentic Manchu descendant, and in his heart, the interests of the Manchus were greater than anything else. He had been fighting with Emperor Taiji since he joined the army, and the two had a very deep friendship, which is why he would oppose Dolgun and firmly sided with the Shunzhi Emperor. At the same time, he was a man full of loyal ideas, although due to the emperor's young age, he was somewhat despised, so it was impossible for him to rebel and become emperor.
In the end, his opponent was the Kangxi Emperor. The Kangxi Emperor is not without reason for being called the First Emperor of the Ages, he has seen all kinds of conspiracies and battles of power since he was a child, he has experienced life and death, he has received a very orthodox royal education, he is surrounded by layers of capable generals who have been selected to assist him, and he has the support of his grandmother who loves and cherishes him. Above all, he was very clever, and this cleverness could not be achieved by education, but by his own understanding, so that after realizing that Ao Bai would become an obstacle to him in the future, he had begun to prepare to eliminate the other party.
It is precisely because of these reasons that the ending of Ao Bai, although there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, he will not rebel; although he will not rebel, he is doomed to have no good ending, after all, the sleeping lion next to him will not allow others to sleep.
