Xuan Ye ascended the throne at the age of eight, and his era name was Kangxi, which means "the people are happy and peaceful, and the world is prosperous". As the second generation of supreme leaders after the Qing court entered the Central Plains, his task was only to govern the country and return the world to his heart.

When Kangxi was a teenager, he defeated the powerful minister Aobai, and when he became an adult, he won successive victories in the wars against San Francisco, Taiwan, and Dzungar, expelled the Russian invading army, established China's territorial sovereignty in the Heilongjiang River Valley with the Treaty of Nebuchu, held the Duolun Alliance to replace the war, and Huairou beckoned the outer mongols.

He never changed the Yuan, using the Kangxi era name for sixty-one years.

Bai Jin, a French missionary who had taught him arithmetic and geometry, said: "[The Kangxi Emperor] has the advantages of all the people in the world, and among the monarchs of the world, the Kangxi Emperor should be listed as the first class of British lords." ”

This represents the highest evaluation of the Eastern Emperor by laowai. Western historians associate him with peter the great of Russia and Louis XIV of France, arguing that their common feature is "marking the pre-industrial era, the highest stage of traditional monarchical monarchy" (Cambridge History of China before and after the Qing Dynasty).

This Chinese emperor, who was highly praised by foreigners, was also highly respected by the Chinese people. A crown of "Emperor Shengzuren" seems to say that he is a Dao Ming Jun.

The theme song of the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty", "Borrowing Five Hundred Years from Heaven", seems to write the Kangxi Emperor's infinite desire for life and power.

He wants to live forever!

As soon as this song came out, it was widely circulated and sung to this day, with mixed praise and criticism.

Many people have taken "if Kangxi lived another five hundred years" as a hypothetical history, and launched various conjectures. History cannot be assumed, and history cannot bear to look at it carefully. If Kangxi really became an old monster who "lived another five hundred years", what would be brought to China would only be infinite darkness!

Not to mention that he brewed a "desire to strictly ban the foreign", until the fifty-fifth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1716), he categorically banned the Nanyang trade, closed the country, how cowardly and stupid, only from the later stage of his reign, he vigorously strengthened his private office, the South Study, competed with the ministers for power, and organized a group of literati to write such and such a history book to justify his regime.

Kangxi's political ideals, under the guise of Guotai Min'an, were wrapped up in the wind of praise since the middle period. He manipulated the situation, successively destroyed the shrewd and capable Suo Ertu and the Pearl, and gathered a group of courtiers around him, named as university scholars, and honestly undertook the edicts and president books to serve his political rule that "since ancient times the world is as righteous as my dynasty" ("Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty", vol. 275, Kangxi 56 November Xin Wei).

To this end, he received systematic education in Hanchen theory early on, specialized in Cheng Zhu, subliminal repair studies, flaunted cultural choices, formed the main ideology of the special era, and infused the political practice of employing people with the rational ideas of fools.

Kangxi's imperial heart technique was shocking to the world, and at the beginning of the pro-government period, he took every step of the way, clarified the will to absolute power, always firmly controlled the military and political power in his hands, and would never be assigned to others, fully declaring the power of a political strongman.

He wants to completely change the fate of the puppets who were once manipulated by the four auxiliary ministers, and manipulate the cabinet ministers of the auxiliary government to be obedient. When he heard Gao Shiqi say that the group of ministers did not dare to impeach the university scholar Mingzhu and Yu Guozhu for selling the official and holding the vote, he said fiercely: "If the situation is heavier than the four auxiliary ministers? If I want to go, I will go!" ”

Such a declaration of power was written by his favorite minister Li Guangdi as a "current affair of the dynasty" and was written into volume XIV of the Rongcun Continued Quotations.

Although Li Guangdi was extremely loyal to the Kangxi Emperor, he betrayed his friend Chen Menglei, who was secretly fighting, and took credit for the conspiracy of the two who had been trapped in Geng Jingzhong's rebellious clique, and became the new favorite of the Kangxi Emperor. A few years later, Li Guangdi was appointed as a minister of military leadership by the Military Department, and became the Kangxi Emperor's personal scholar and lecturer of the Imperial Household. After Xiong Zhilu, Zhang Ying, Chen Tingjing, Xu Yuanwen, and others, he advocated to the Kangxi Emperor to inherit the Taoist system and revitalize the science of science: "Mencius said that in the five hundred years since Yao Shun, there will be a king who has been prosperous... Since Zhu Zi, until another five hundred years of my emperor, in the period of the king, the study of the sages, the heavens will restore the fortune of Yao Shun, and the unity of the Tao and the rule will be combined. By the emperor's command, ren Si Dao's command, to ascend to the throne. ("Collected Tablets", vol. 13 Peng Shaosheng wrote "Li Wenzhen's Official Complaint")
