Friends who have watched the "Kangxi Dynasty" TV series know that Kangxi had two favored subjects during his reign: Suo'etu and Mingzhu, Suo'etu's daughter was Kangxi's empress, his grandson was the current prince Yinyuan, and Soetu's fifth son Xinyu and sixth son Xinbao were hereditary first-class dukes. Kangxi, who was well versed in the art of emperors, began to support another person to balance Soltu, and he was the Pearl of Nalan.
And Mingzhu is also a person with a background, his sister is Kangxi's concubine, the emperor's eldest son is his nephew, after Mingzhu ascended to the throne, he and Suo Etu fought inextricably, at first the emperor turned a blind eye to the two, but later because of his participation in the emperor's family affairs, in the end they did not end up well. Soetu, in particular, ended up starving to death in prison.
Suo Etu was dismissed by Kangxi three times, the first two times because of his own greed and abuse of his own power, and the third time because of a coup d'état with crown prince Yin, and Suo Etu, who held a grudge against Kangxi, assisted him in plotting a rebellion, and finally the matter was revealed, and he was ordered by Kangxi to be imprisoned in starvation in the Zongren Mansion.
