Introduction: Kangxi caught a turtle and immediately beat the concubine into the "cold palace" to expose the emperor's moodiness
In the more than two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, plus Nurhaci and Emperor Taiji before entering the customs, there were 12 emperors, of which Kangxi was the most famous. He succeeded to the throne at the age of 8 and became pro-government at the age of 14, reigning for 61 years, making him the longest-reigning emperor in Chinese history. Throughout Kangxi's life, when he was a teenager, he got rid of the powerful minister Aobai, and then through a strong wrist to pacify san Francisco, recover Taiwan, personally led a large army to conquest Kaldan, and created the situation of Kangqian's prosperity, which was called the first emperor of the ages by some historians.
In his later years, although Kangxi did not pursue immortality, he also began to immerse himself in the merits he had created before, liked to listen to the praise of some ministers and concubines, and could not tolerate those disrespectful remarks at all. Once a joke by a favored concubine made the Kangxi Emperor furious and beat many concubines into the cold palace, and the end was extremely miserable.
Birth, old age, illness and death are natural laws, and Kangxi is no exception. When Kangxi was old, his health was far less than before, although he was served by a highly skilled doctor and ate the most expensive food in the world, after all, he was old and his teeth were almost gone. Although he had been emperor for fifty or sixty years, he still did not want to abdicate, and in order to live for a few more years, he often walked in the Changchun Garden, and when he was fine, he took some concubines to catch butterflies and fish, and his life was quite comfortable.
On a sunny afternoon, Kangxi was in a good mood, and immediately gathered many young and beautiful concubines, took the royal fishing rod, and went fishing in the pond inside the palace. In order to cater to the emperor's preferences, the palace maids and eunuchs not only raised a lot of fish in the pond, but also stocked some turtles. Kangxi chatted with the concubines while fishing, without the majesty of the court in the past, and even told a lot of jokes, and the concubines were all laughed.
After a while, suddenly a fish was hooked, and Kangxi saw the opportunity and decisively lifted the fishing rod. Unexpectedly, this time he actually caught a turtle, Kangxi was happy not to be able to do it, while recycling the fishing rod, he said to the concubines: "It seems that the sword is still not old, and it is effortless to catch the turtle." Seeing that the emperor was so happy, the concubines competed to compliment Long Live Grandpa Bull Break.
Surprisingly, the turtle suddenly decoupled and suddenly fell into the pond, and Kangxi was suddenly a little embarrassed, after all, he was still showing off. One of the concubines, who had just entered the palace not long ago, said a joke in order to please the emperor: "It is not that the fishing skills of The Banzai Grandpa are not good, it must be that this turtle is old, the teeth in the mouth are basically missing, and it is normal to bite the hook." As soon as this remark came out, the other concubines suddenly laughed and said, "It should be this reason, the next time Grandpa Banzai will not lose his hand, he will definitely be able to catch a big fish." ”
A few seconds later, everyone found that Kangxi, who had just opened and was still full of smiles, not only did he have no smile at this time, but his face was quite heavy, which made people shudder. Next, Kangxi issued an edict, beat all these concubines around him into the cold palace, and ordered the concubine who was joking to beat dozens of boards, and then returned to the palace angrily. As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, kangxi thinks that the concubine compares herself to an old turtle, satirizing herself for being old, so she made this decision. The ancients said: "Companions are like companions of tigers." This sentence is not wrong at all, follow the emperor's side, you must always pay attention to your words and deeds, otherwise the end will be very miserable.
