The "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty" once said: "Long Zhun Qi body, the holy ancestor saw and loved, so that the reading palace." "When Qianlong was a child, he first met Kangxi in Prince Yong's palace. At the time of the first meeting, Kangxi fell in love with Qianlong at the sight of Qianlong, causing Qianlong's fate to change, and he finally received the opportunity to inherit the unification.
Although in the late Qing Dynasty, the state rule was corrupt and caused the country to fall into a dangerous situation, but the prosperity of Kangqian was still praised by posterity. In the process of understanding the history of the Qing Dynasty, posterity found that there was a coincidental story when Kangxi and Qianlong first met. When the Kangxi Emperor first met Qianlong, the history books stated that Kangxi was in love with this emperor's grandson, and since then, Kangxi has taken care of Qianlong in every way, which also indirectly contributed to Yongzheng's ascension to the throne.
When many people first heard this story, they thought that Kangxi's good impression of Qianlong when he first saw qianlong depended on Qianlong's outstanding personal talent. But relevant experts have said that behind the "see is amazing" is hidden a well-planned conspiracy. Why do relevant experts think that the meeting between Kangxi and Qianlong is a conspiracy? Who is the leader behind this?
Through the understanding of the history of Kangxi's reign, as a long-lived emperor, kangxi had a relatively large number of heirs, and the number of his imperial grandchildren was as high as hundreds. This also made it possible that during the kangxi emperor's lifetime, every prince and grandson was not taken care of.
However, the kangxi emperor's princes were not willing to accept the fate of being ignored, and it can be felt from the situation in the late years of Kangxi that among the many princes of the Kangxi Emperor, there were many ambitious people.
For Kangxi's fourth son, Yin Chan, in his early years, his son Hongli never got the opportunity to meet Kangxi, which also reflects from the side that Kangxi did not attach importance to Yin Chan. However, Yin Chan did not want to be ignored by Kangxi all the time, and after a period of careful arrangement, in the end, Yin Chan finally succeeded in arranging for Kangxi to meet with Hongli.
In 1721, when Kangxi came to the Yong Prince's palace to admire the flowers, he met with Hongli. At that time, he met with Hongli's grandson and Hongzhi. Although in the eyes of the Kangxi Emperor, this meeting with the emperor was just a common thing, for Yongzheng, this meeting directly determined whether he could occupy a place in Kangxi's heart.
By comparing the difference between Hongli and Hongli, it can be seen that Hongli is intelligent in nature, and Hongli is talented and stupid, which also enables the two to form a full contrast in the process of meeting with Kangxi, so as to highlight the excellence of Hongli. Although in the process of this meeting, Hongzhi became a victim, Hongli could become the object of Kangxi's attention, which also provided important help for Yin Chan's struggle for power.
After Kangxi had seen Hongli and Hongzhi, he inquired about the two children's homework. Facing the towering Emperor's grandfather, Hongzhi was extremely nervous and stumbled when answering questions, which also made Kangxi feel a little disappointed. However, when asking questions about Hongli, Hongli answered like a stream, and his expression was calm, without the slightest nervousness.
After this meeting, the Kangxi Emperor was obsessed with the cleverness of the Hongli calendar, and after that, Kangxi specially sent someone to measure the birthday of the Hongli calendar, and the results of the calculation also showed that the Hongli calendar would certainly achieve a great cause in the future. Upon hearing this news, Kangxi decided to bring the Hongli calendar to the palace to be personally cultivated, and since then, the Hongli calendar has become the most favored by Kangxi among many imperial grandchildren.
In the process of educating Hongli, Kangxi hoped to train him to be a man of both culture and martial arts, so as to help the Qing Dynasty achieve better development in the future. From this point, it can be seen that the reason why Yongzheng was able to stand out after the conquest of Kowloon was inseparable from Kangxi's emphasis on Qianlong.
Based on Kangxi's careful teachings, Hongli's skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and once, in the process of hunting with the Kangxi Emperor to the summer resort, Hongli was lucky enough to dodge the attack of the black bear. After this incident, Kangxi decided that the blessings of the Hongli calendar were far beyond ordinary people, which also doomed the future Hongli to be able to meet the great responsibility.
Although the Kangxi Emperor died of illness in 1722 shortly after Hongli entered the palace, Kangxi still had a profound influence on his teachings throughout Hongli's life.
From the first meeting between Kangxi and Qianlong, it can be felt that in the process of competing for imperial power in ancient times, people had an attitude of unscrupulous means to achieve their goals. Although in the eyes of modern people, such a way of fighting for power and profit has made people disregard family and blood, but in the feudal background, everyone is eager for power, and the royal brothers are no exception.
In modern society, China has got rid of the feudal social system and achieved a new stage of development, but through the understanding of many stories in history, the world can also draw certain experiences and lessons from them. It can be seen that no matter what level of modern social development is reached, the study of history is still a necessary content for national construction.
After understanding the experience of Kangxi and Qianlong's first meeting, we will find that under certain circumstances, if we can use appropriate methods to highlight our talents, it will also help us to achieve brighter prospects for future development. I believe that after realizing this, more people will be able to work hard to manage their own strengths and harvest success in life.
