Just talk about TV series.
The ascension of the fourth brother of Changchun Garden to the throne may surprise the vast majority of people.
In their view, the Eight Brothers Yin Yu has its own powerful power group, all kinds of resources are available, why did it break out of the big cold door, lost to the people known as the Cold Face King, the power does not seem to be large? Why did Kangxi give up the Eight Brothers?
In fact, it was not Kangxi who gave up on Lao Ba, but Lao Ba himself gave up the opportunity kangxi gave him, and it was no wonder that others could not blame him.
Although the second brother Yinrong entrusted his deceased mother's blessing to become the crown prince, since he became an adult, various weak performances began to make Kangxi shake his confidence in the prince. "Is this the future emperor of my Great Qing Dynasty?" This sentence that popped out of Kangxi's heart had almost already sentenced the prince's death suspension. At the beginning of the TV series, it was the emptiness of the national treasury, which was a stab from the old fourth brother who was in charge of the household department.
However, the eighth elder managed the household department, almost hollowed out the national treasury to bribe officials, and ignored the state for his own selfish interests. Kangxi openly attacked the old eight at this time, the national treasury let you send people, what are you still shooting here!
However, Kangxi still gave Lao Ba a chance. The imperial court needed the crown prince to go to Jiangnan to raise grain for disaster relief, and this messenger was most suitable for the old eighth to go. He had emptied the treasury, and it was naturally up to him to remedy it. And Lao Ba has been operating in Jiangnan for many years, and those salt masters are under his door. He was going to Jiangnan, and he could raise more than two million taels. However, the old eight just don't go, nothing more than though
The money raised offended the gentry of Jiangnan, and this account could not be transferred. The fourth elder has no foundation in Jiangnan anyway, so he simply offends people and can please the emperor, so what is the gentry?
This logic was still adapted when the second wave of emperors urged officials to owe debts. At that time, the fourth elder had not yet returned in Jiangnan, and Kangxi almost made it clear: Whoever can recover the debt can now be crowned prince. To whom? Of course, it was for the old eight present. This is Kangxi giving Lao Ba a chance, and you have another chance to make up for this bad debt. And Kangxi's bottom limit is very low, as long as it is
After recovering ten million and two, the old eight will definitely be the prince. Old Nine, Old Ten, Old Fourteen are the younger brothers of Old Eight, and old three are buried in the book, counting and counting, only Old Eight is the most suitable. But the old eighth still held the idea of not offending people, and pushed the fourth old man out to offend people.
Old Eight's small account was well calculated, but as shrewd as Kangxi, how could he not see his thoughts? When Lao Ba proposed to resign from the Hubu Messenger, he looked at Kangxi's eyes and was extremely disappointed in Lao Ba. Such a person, whenever the benefit is grabbed, when the difficulty is hidden, the great halal can be handed over to such a person? The prince's ability is limited, the old eight heart technique is not correct, and he is not the most suitable candidate in Kangxi's heart.
Kangxi's prosperity has long been full of holes, but Kangxi has blindly indulged officials for the sake of his posthumous reputation. What Kangxi could hope for was that the next emperor would be ruthless with an iron fist and pay him the debts of history. But the old eight will send affection to Kangxi, if the old eight succeed to the throne, then the Great Qing can only continue to rot, and eventually can not be controlled.
At this point, Kangxi still hadn't completely given up on Lao Ba, and he still had to see if Lao Ba's still had the possibility of correcting it. By the time the case of the Slaughter of the White Duck in the Punishment Department, Kangxi had already decided to take down the crown prince in charge of the Punishment Department. Kangxi had originally asked Lao Si and Lao Ba to take care of this matter together to see their specific abilities.
As a result, the fourth elder was awakened by Wu Sidao, and he made a disease and slipped away. In this way, Kangxi looked at Lao Ba alone, and of course, he also stuffed the old fourth person, Old Thirteen, into it, just in case Lao Ba secretly cheated.
As a result, Lao Ba still made a false statement, falsely transmitting the emperor's will, and secretly fishing for the crown prince's man Ma Xiao Guoxing. Seemingly clever, Kangxi was furious with the prince and eventually deposed him. But when the bodyguard Tu Lichen told Kangxi the true feelings that Xiao Guoxing had said, Kangxi Lian said two sentences: "His heart can be cursed, and his heart can be cursed!" "Of course, this is talking about the old eight. At this time, lao ba's conquest in Kangxi's heart may have dropped directly from the previous ten percent to zero, and there may be no more at all.
As for kangxi's selection of the new prince later, it was to lure the snake out of the hole, fish out the old eight, and then catch it all. Lao Ba, unaware that the danger was approaching, was coaxed around by the first assistant Tong Guowei, and finally lost a mess.
The failure of the old eight is that he has never figured out one thing: the new emperor is going to offend people, otherwise he will not be able to be. But the reason why Lao Ba is powerful is precisely because he does not want to offend people. The fourth elder still has the Qing Dynasty in his heart, and in order to help the building fall, the fourth elder is not afraid of offending the gentry of the world. In other words, the fourth elder is willing to carry this black pot for his father, and the old eighth is not willing to be a back pot man, and Kangxi, who is bent on finding the back pot man, will naturally give up the old eight and choose the old fourth.
