In fact, in Kangxi's heart, he deeply loved Concubine Rong, and the reason why he beat her into the Zongren Mansion as a slave was that Kangxi thought for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji and could not use political means. However, punishing Concubine Rong for brushing the toilet was not Kangxi's will, but Concubine Hui fell into the well, exercised the power of the lord of the harem, and deliberately arranged in this way to degrade and humiliate Concubine Rong.
So, what was the reason why Concubine Rong was reduced to a slave?
Kangxi and the first empress Heschel in his early years fell in love with each other, Hesheli gave birth to his first son in the eighth year of Kangxi, but died at the age of four, Kangxi gave birth to a second son for the emperor in the thirteenth year, but unfortunately just two hours after the birth of the son, he died in Kunning Palace, Kangxi was very sad, in honor of his beloved wife, he made this son the crown prince, and this side is YinRong.
However, this prince was also too indisputable, causing Kangxi to have both sides of him, and it can be said that he was exhausted for the prince's affairs. During Kangxi's conquest of Gardan, his grandmother Empress Xiaozhuang was critically ill and dying, and When Xiaozhuang also understood that Yin Rong was incompetent and might be deposed by Kangxi, but she was worried that this would cause a dispute over the concubine and lead to political turmoil, so she asked Concubine Rong to persuade Kangxi not to depose the crown prince.
Kangxi returned to the dynasty, and indeed wanted to depose the crown prince, so Concubine Rong said the will of Filial Piety and obstructed it. Kangxi did not listen, reprimanded Concubine Rong for interfering in the affairs of the dynasty, and demoted her to Changzai.
But Kangxi still remembered her after all, but who knew that when she was chatting with her, Concubine Rong was still obstinate and insisted on advising the emperor not to depose the crown prince, kangxi was furious, reprimanded her for not thinking of repenting, and immediately punished her for going to the Zongren Mansion as a slave. At this time, Concubine Hui was in charge of the harem, and of course had the right to control those who were degraded as slaves, so she assigned Concubine Rong to clean the toilet. But who knows, a few years later, the lonely and miserable Concubine Rong was smashed under the toilet car on the day of the Kangxi Banquet and passed away.
After RongFei's death, Kangxi rushed to visit her, and in anger, ordered all the slaves who had seen Rongfei brush the toilet to accompany her to the funeral.
Later, when Concubine Rong was buried, Kangxi had a long painful inner monologue in front of Concubine Rong's coffin, telling the real reason for punishing her in the first place:
"Concubine Rong, I know that you have never deceived the king. I believe that the old ancestor has indeed left you a will, and I want you to do your best to save Yin Rong, so as not to depose the prince, fight for the throne, and kill each other. You know all this! However, he could not force an unsuccessful prince to the throne, because in that case, not only would the flesh and blood be killed, but the whole world would also be killed! You can only make you bear the guilt, saying that you have deceived the king and beaten you into the cold palace, and you can't talk to you with these painstaking hearts..."
It can be seen that Kangxi actually believed in his heart that Rong Fei's words that dissuaded him from deposing the crown prince were true, and indeed it was Xiao Zhuang's will, but the prince was too incompetent and incompetent to entrust the Qing Dynasty to such a person to rule and manage.
However, since Consort Rong had already said that preserving the crown prince was Xiao Zhuang's last will, but Kangxi could not obey it, didn't she sweep away the reputation and face of the old ancestor? Therefore, it can only be said that Concubine Rong is a correction, that is to say, this is not said by the old ancestor at all, but you Rong Concubine pretends to deceive the emperor by borrowing the words of the old ancestor.
Such a poor Concubine Rong, a good and desperate emperor, just, standing in the long river of history, such a Kangxi, no matter what, you can't hate!
