Since the ancient name of the lord of the young talent, the wisdom of the country thief to establish the monarchy. The opening of the river to repair the canal is prosperous, and the southern expedition to the west is full of spirit.
In the history of our country, the Kangxi Emperor was a male lord, he ascended the throne when he was eight years old, and began to march in person at the age of fourteen, reigning for sixty-one years, which is also the longest reigning emperor in China's history.
However, when he first ascended the throne, Kangxi did not have any great power, and the handling of all political power needed to be discussed with the ministers, the most selfish of which was Ao bai.
Later, Aobai turned "state affairs" into "family affairs" and arranged people around him to serve as officials in the imperial court, which greatly violated the power of the Kangxi Emperor. To this end, Kangxi Zhi made a legendary story.
It is worth mentioning that he thought that the matter of Ao Bai would end here, but he did not want to, and in the end, Kangxi in his later years would actually regret that he had captured Ao Bai in the end, and even did not hesitate to personally rehabilitate him, and said that he was a loyal subject.

Speaking of Ao bai, we have to mention his life story. Ao Bai was a Manchurian yellow flag man, the elder of the Three Dynasties during the Qing Dynasty, his grandfather and father were all meritorious generals, in other words, Ao Bai was a veritable son of a general.
At the same time, as a young man, he was already proficient in the art of riding and shooting, and in his youth, he directly served the country and had outstanding merits, and he repeatedly consulted with Emperor Taiji, and he became the most trusted military general under Emperor Taiji.
After the death of Emperor Taiji, there was a contradiction in the imperial court over the heir to the throne, and there was a contradiction between the eldest son of the emperor and the younger brother of emperor Taiji, Dorgon, in the struggle for the throne. However, Ao Bai and others have bluntly stated that they can only accept the son of Emperor Taiji to succeed him.
Simply put, they were threatening Dorgon with force not to interfere with the selection of the royal succession. In desperation, Dorgon had to propose that Fu Lin, the ninth son of Emperor Taiji, succeed to the throne, so that the Shunzhi Emperor could succeed to the throne.
After the six-year-old Fu Lin succeeded to the throne, he naturally needed the assistance of others, so Dorgon said that he and Prince Zheng would assist the government together. At this moment, the so-called contradiction was officially resolved, and it was thought that the heir to the throne had been decided, and everything would proceed step by step.
However, after Dorgon's involvement in politics, everything seems to have changed. His party was the same, and the first target was the eldest son of the emperor supported by Ao Bai, and for this reason, Ao Bai also suffered an unprecedented blow after that.
The "party struggle" in the dprk continued until the seventh year of Shunzhi, and in November of that year, Dorgon died suddenly, and Shunzhi was officially pro-government, and the pattern of the imperial court changed.
After Shunzhi came to power, he already knew everything about the situation in the DPRK and China, and he had heard that Ao Bai had sworn with everyone in that year: "One heart is the Lord, life and death are together." In this way, Shunzhi's mind was filled with respect for Aobai, and over time he identified Aobai as his confidant.
After that, when Shunzhi discussed major state affairs, there were basically Aobai, and many things that Shunzhi could not solve would ask for Aobai's opinion. As for Ao bai, he was also very loyal to the Shunzhi Emperor and did not have the slightest trespass.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the early days of Shunzhi's rule had left Aobai, perhaps the situation of decline and decline would have been more rapid. Perhaps at that time, the Shunzhi Emperor's view of Aobai was no longer his own courtier, but his predecessor.
Even after his own death, he did not forget to hand over his child to Aobai for counseling, so as to ensure the stability of Daqing's foundation, which showed how much trust he had.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27" > the pride of power accumulation</h1>
On the eighth day of the first lunar month of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, Fu Lin (Shunzhi) died, and before his death, the Shunzhi Emperor made a will and appointed the third prince Xuan Ye to succeed to the throne (that is, the Kangxi Emperor), and let Soni, Suksaha, Shu Bilong, and Ao Bai as auxiliary ministers to assist the younger son in ascending the throne.
At that time, the four of them took an oath before the shunzhi emperor's spiritual throne in order to show their loyalty. However, facts have proved that "one body does not tolerate two tigers" and "one dynasty does not tolerate four subjects".
The most powerful and background of these four ministers was Ao Bai, and the situation that followed was that the Ao Bai family was the only one, and the rest of the ministers did not dare to provoke at all.
With the passage of time, Ao bai gradually became a being above ten thousand people under one person, and no one could match the power of the opposition, especially the weak Kangxi.
As power and status continued to accumulate, Aobai's desire increased endlessly, and he began to want to monopolize power. At this time, the existence of the other three ministers naturally became a stumbling block for him to realize his ideas, so the current priority naturally changed to the elimination of idle people and so on.
The elderly Sony was not qualified to resist at all, and it did not take long for him to die; Hebilon himself was very timid and afraid, and after knowing Ao Bai's intentions, he immediately went to attach himself without the slightest stay.
As for this last Suksaha, although he had the idea of resisting, his handle had long been in the hands of Aobai, and he could not escape the fate of being executed in the end. In this way, the power of the DPRK and China was basically concentrated on Aobai's body.
Power and status reached Ao Bai's original vision, and then all the "trespassing" behaviors also occurred naturally, and sometimes Ao Bai even ignored the Kangxi Emperor, and the major and minor affairs in the court turned into Ao Bai's family affairs.
All in all, Kangxi was already a "puppet" to Aobai. When the young emperor saw this situation, he naturally regarded Aobai as his enemy, so he began to cultivate obscurity, ready to wait for the opportunity and annihilate in one fell swoop.
After this, the Kangxi Emperor often summoned teenagers to gather in the palace for games. It was not until May 16 of the eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty that the Kangxi Emperor summoned Aobai to see him, and suddenly ordered these teenagers to capture Aobai, although the losses were heavy, but in the end they also achieved their goal.
After Ao Bai was captured, the minister of the DPRK also pointed out the guilt of Ao Bai, and at this moment Ao Bai was really spurned by thousands of people. Perhaps even he himself did not expect that the last thing that caught him was a group of children who he could not see at that time.
The Kangxi Emperor, grateful for Aobai's contribution to the Three Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, spared Aobai from the capital offense, but imprisoned him for life, and finally Aobai died in the forbidden place. In this way, this period of enmity between the emperor and his courtiers came to an end.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" > Kangxi's regrets in his later years</h1>
Since then, under the governance of Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty has gradually ushered in its own prosperity, not only the people's lives are very stable, but also the Qing Dynasty has a high prestige abroad.
With the accumulation of years, the Kangxi Emperor has long faded the innocence of his youth, in exchange for more experience and more or less life insights. Many people say that when they reach old age, they seem to be particularly sentimental, and the Kangxi Emperor cannot escape the development of this emotion.
Whenever he recalled the past, he would think of the minister Ao bai and all the things he had done before. At different times, there will be different views on the same thing, and the same is true of the Kangxi Emperor.
Looking back on what he had done in those years, he deeply felt his ignorance at that time, although Ao Bai was proud of his achievements and began to have some lust for power, but he had to admit that Ao Bai had no idea of rebellion, nor did he want to go beyond the imperial power to compete for the throne.
Thinking about it carefully, if Ao Bai wanted to compete for the throne, he could directly attack when the Shunzhi Emperor ascended the throne, and there was no need to spend more energy to assist a two-emperor. Even, he would not heed the last words of the Shunzhi Emperor and come to assist Kangxi.
Considering these factors, the Kangxi Emperor felt more and more innocent of Aobai, so in the later years of his life, Kangxi regretted capturing Aobai and personally rehabilitated him, saying that he was a loyal minister and a loyal minister.
From a certain point of view, Kangxi confessed to Aobai that he was wrong, and this matter also caused a great sensation at that time. Of course, Kangxi's confession of error also had another consideration.
He took the initiative to publicize Aobai's "loyalty", but also to create a "loyal" cultural spirit, hoping that after his death, the ministers are loyal people, so as to make the Qing Dynasty more stable, which is also the heart of the emperor, there is no right and wrong, only pros and cons.
