Those hurried passers-by who glanced at the great glimpse made Kangxi and also achieved "Kangxi The Great".
Ai Xin JueLuo Xuan Ye, Emperor Shengzu of the Qing Dynasty, was also the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He ascended the throne at the age of eight and pro-government at the age of fourteen, and was the founder of the last prosperous era of China's feudal dynasty, "Kangqian Shengshi".
He and his son Yongzheng, grandson Fulin, were written by the contemporary Chinese novelist February Yuehe into the "Kangqian Trilogy": "Kangxi Emperor", "Yongzheng Emperor", and "Qianlong Emperor". The trilogy has such a great influence and spread that no other series of emperor novels can match it.
However, even the same author, the same series of novels, "The Kangxi Emperor" in the character portrayal and plot display, far more than the "son" and "grandson".
Our understanding of Kangxi also far exceeds that of Yongzheng and Qianlong.
Why?
Let's take a look at kangxi's life first. The first is Kangxi's father, Shunzhi, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Ai Xinjueluo Fulin, who is in his twenties and is gone.
This "gone", the history books always mean dead, and in the "Kangxi Emperor", it is said that the Shunzhi Emperor was trapped by love and went out of the house.
So Xuan Ye, who was only eight years old, actually sat on the throne.
The first enemy he faced was called Aobai.
Kangxi's capture of Aobai is a well-known play, but this is only the beginning. Kangxi regained the power of the imperial government at the age of fourteen and immediately ordered: Withdraw the domain!
"Weeping the Six Armies, Chong Guan's anger turned red", Chen Yuanyuan's Wu Sangui fell in response.
After that, after fighting Taiwan and ruling the Yellow River, in just thirty years, Kangxi reversed the chaotic war and created the prosperous era of Haiyan Heqing.
Everything is thriving, and Xuan Ye's legendary life seems to have come to a successful end.
The author February River keenly grasps the law that history cannot escape: behind the prosperous world, there is still a hidden crisis of decay.
Sure enough, when people reach old age, the life of the Kangxi Emperor is renewed, and there is a drama that can be called the most lively in the whole book:
Nine sons and wives. Nine sons, vying for the throne.
Seeing this, the first answer of "Kangxi Emperor" is far better than "Yongzheng" and "Qianlong": Xuan Ye's life is really wonderful!
On the "heavenly time", he Kangxi was the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the country was in ruins and waiting to be revived, and strong enemies were surrounded on all sides.
Yongzheng and Qianlong are at best the icing on the cake, what do they compare with the "Holy Ancestor"?
However, you must not be seduced by my general description, thinking that Kangxi's wonderful life depends entirely on Kangxi himself.
In fact, if you read "The Kangxi Emperor" once, you will find that in this novel, Kangxi's sense of existence is unexpectedly "weak".
How can the protagonist's sense of existence be weak?
Speaking from the heart, Kangxi's sense of existence is weak, and it is really strange that Kangxi has encountered too many strong people!
Kangxi captured Aobai and secretly raised a group of guards in the palace.
When he summoned Ao Bai one day, he rushed up and was taken down by Ao Bai.
February River named the head of this group of guards "Wei Dongting".
Not only that, this Wei Dongting also arranged a background for the jianghu.
Ao Bai was not a fool, he had long wanted to find a small black house and did Kangxi.
Relying entirely on the jianghu masters invited by Wei Dongting, he was stunned that he alone blocked hundreds of soldiers from Aobai and let Kangxi escape.
The brave and resourceful Little Wei Zi was the treasure that Kangxi "picked up", but he was only the least worth mentioning among the heroes and good men under Kangxi.
Wei Dongting introduced his benefactor to Kangxi, who listened to him and immediately worshiped him as a teacher.
This person's name was "Wu Ciyou", who was the great Confucian of the time, and he criticized Aobai's various perverse acts for Kangxi without any displeasure, pointed out the path of struggle for the young Kangxi, and strengthened Kangxi's determination to capture Aobai.
Not only did Wu Ciyou teach by hand, but also Kangxi's advisers Suo Ertu and Mingzhu and others, but they were also not idle people.
In the process of fighting with the Aobai Group, they have never been left behind.
With such a group of fierce soldiers and wise generals, how can the leader of Kangxi be brilliant?
To put it bluntly, kangxi in the section of the capture of Aobai, is nothing more than Wu Ciyou "painful chen current affairs", Kangxi "heart is hot", and "suddenly cheerful", and then Wei Dongting is "incomparably brave", Suo Ertu is "clever and clever", and the matter is done.
We can best attribute the fact that Wu Ciyou and Wei Dongting stole the limelight of Kangxi because Xuan Ye was too young to do anything more.
Looking at it positively, at least Kangxi is "teachable" and has the "heart of a king"!
However, the first volume captured Ao bai, Kangxi came from childhood to youth, and the spotlight could not hit him on the head.
Ping San Fan has Zhou Peigong, Taiwan has Shi Lang, and the Yellow River has Jin Fu... It was not easy for Kangxi to personally conquer Geldan, and the author actually let Geldan "win" Kangxi!
Kangxi pushed all the way and won the victory, but Geldan was able to repeatedly highlight the strange plots and recreate the way of life.
In the end, finally powerless to return to heaven, Gordan, like every hero of the end, left a desperate letter:
"Birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden; cunning rabbits die, running dogs cook." Heaven forbid I am also a non-war sin. ”
Since ancient times, people have appreciated heroes more than they appreciate successful people, and it is better to appreciate Xiang Yu Wujiang's self-destruction than to admire Liu Bang's abandonment of his wife and son.
It is true that Kangxi was a generation of Ming Emperors, who could recognize and employ people in order to overcome one difficulty after another and create a peaceful and prosperous world.
However, in the novel of "Kangxi The Great", because the talent of the group of ministers is too dazzling, it seems that Kangxi, who should be the protagonist, is a bit insignificant.
From this point of view, Kangxi is in some ways similar to Liu Bang's situation.
"The Kangxi Emperor" consisted of four volumes, the first three volumes of Xuan Ye passed the pass, full of spirit, and in the fourth volume, the mood suddenly changed, and the depression became gloomy.
His beloved prince, Yin Rong, was immoral in virtue and behaved in violation of the rules, and was beaten into the cold palace.
The Eighth Prince's Sontains and the Eight Princes turned the situation upside down.
Kangxi made the "protagonist" of three volumes, but the drama of the fourth volume could only be left to his sons.
The merry characters of the first three volumes, and by the fourth volume, the old man died so dead that there was not a single one left.
loner.
Not only that, wu ci friends, Wei Dongting, and Suo Ertu's fate was not good.
Wu Ciyou's two love affairs ended tragically and ended in depression; Suo Ertu secretly plotted a rebellion and was in a different place; Jin Fu and Chen Huang, who governed the Yellow River, suffered from imprisonment because of the prejudice of Kangxi himself.
The elderly Kangxi, whenever he was dizzy by the anger of the princes, would always unconsciously think of the heroes of the past.
At this time, the reader could not help but cry with him.
"Since ancient times, beautiful people are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world."
The fireworks of "Kangxi Emperor" are brilliant to the extreme, so at the end of the curtain, it adds a little sadness.
How many of our lives are wonderful because of others?
Those who glance at each other in surprise and pass by in the wrong way are already a luxury to cling to, and can only cherish the word and talk about comforting future memories.
