When the Han Emperor Liu Zhan ascended the throne, he was only eight years old, and the power of the imperial government was in the hands of his foreign relative Liang Ji. Liang Ji was arrogant and arrogant, and although emperor Han was still young, he could see this clearly, and at a court meeting, he looked at Liang Ji and said to the people around him: "This general is also a general. Liang Ji held a grudge against him and soon had Emperor Han poisoned (only nine years old).
Regarding the historical incident of Emperor Han being poisoned by his courtiers, the Kangxi Emperor once commented: "Emperor Chong Ling of Han was in the imperial palace, and he was able to recognize Liang Ji's adultery and was inherently intelligent. The first sight is that 'this general is also.' And so he was poisoned. Smart and not good at obscurity, enough to be harmful. "It can be described as a three-point in a word.
This comment of the Kangxi Emperor is actually his own empirical statement.
When the Kangxi Emperor ascended the throne, he was only eight years old and was assisted by four ministers, Soni, Suksaha, Shubilong, and Aobai.
Ao Bai was proud of his merits and arrogance, and at the beginning of his "orders", he was still able to engage cautiously and fulfill his oath, but within three years, he exposed his arrogance and authoritarian ambitions. He was at the bottom of the four major auxiliary ministers, but he was not willing to be left behind, and he overtook power everywhere, which was incompatible with several other auxiliary ministers, and did not take Kangxi, the "little emperor", in his eyes.
In the sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the 14-year-old Kangxi Emperor officially pro-government, was congratulated at the Taihe Temple, and pardoned the world. However, only ten days later, Ao Bai killed Suksaha, who was also an auxiliary chancellor, and a few days later, he was enthroned as a first-class duke with Shu Bilong, and the actual political situation was not directly controlled by the Kangxi Emperor.
In the face of this situation, Kangxi did not confront Aobai directly, but secretly planned, accumulated strength, and then suddenly intervened to subdue Aobai in one fell swoop and eliminate Aobai's henchmen, so as to truly realize pro-government and thus grow into an "emperor through the ages" in the history of the Chinese nation.
In China's ancient history, there are two other emperors who can be called "one emperor in the ancient world", that is, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han. Interestingly, at the beginning of the reign of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han, they were also similar to the Kangxi Emperor and the Han Emperor, and encountered a situation in which they could not personally govern because they were restrained by the powerful subjects.
When The Qin Emperor Yingzheng (later Qin Shi Huang) succeeded to the throne, he was only thirteen years old, and the power of the dynasty was in the hands of Lü Buwei.
Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji, the mother of The Qin King Yingzheng, "broke the silk connection" and had an extramarital affair. Later, Lü Buwei was worried that his extramarital affair with Zhao Ji would be discovered and would be detrimental to his political future, so he asked the doorman Yan Yi to pretend to be a eunuch and enter the palace to serve Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji and Concubine Yi had been committing adultery in the harem for many years, and blatantly gave birth to two younger brothers for The Prince of Qin. During this period, with the support of Zhao Ji, Yan Yi was also made the Marquis of Changxin, raising doormen, and co-opting his henchmen, forming a powerful force that was extremely unfavorable to the Qin Dynasty.
For all this, Qin Wang Yingzheng knew it in his heart and had always looked at it in his eyes, but because he was not yet an adult and had not been able to pro-government, he had been hiding it.
In 238 BC, the Qin king Yingzheng held a crown ceremony at the Yongcheng Punian Palace, which marked the official pro-government of the Qin king Yingzheng.
After pro-government, the Qin king Yingzheng took decisive action, eliminating Yan Yi's forces with lightning speed, and deposing Lü Buwei from his post as chancellor, allowing him to return to the fiefdom for retirement, and later exiled him to Bashu. On the way to Bashu, Lü Buwei committed suicide.
Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne at the age of sixteen, and although he was no small, the power of the Western Han Dynasty at that time was still in the hands of Empress Dou.
Empress Dowager Dou firmly believed in Huang Lao's teachings, and there was a Confucian student at that time, but she was almost executed because she said a disparaging remark in front of Empress Dou that belittled Huang Laozhi's learning.
After Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, he wanted to strengthen the centralization of power with Confucianism, and appointed Confucian students such as Zhao Xuan and Wang Zang. However, Empress Dowager Dou ordered the relevant departments to put them in prison for examination, forcing Zhao Xuan and Wang Zang to commit suicide.
The suicide of Zhao Xuan and Wang Zang dealt a great blow to Emperor Wu of Han, at least to make him realize that the power of the government was not in his own hands.
However, Emperor Wu of Han did not confront Empress Dou because of this, or speak ill of Empress Dou, on the contrary, he instead had more "respect" for Empress Dou and obeyed his words, until Empress Dowager Dou died in May of the sixth year of Jianyuan, and Emperor Wudi of Han was able to truly grasp the power and began to exert his "great talent".
In short, Qin Shi Huang, Han Wudi, and Kangxi Emperor all faced similar problems to Emperor Han at the beginning of their reign, but the coping strategies of Qin Shi Huang, Han Wudi and Kangxi Emperor were obviously very different from those of Han Qiandi. Because they all know that in the case of their own fledgling wings and insufficient strength to control the overall situation, they can only cultivate obscurity and wait for the opportunity.
This is the biggest difference between Qin Shi Huang, Han WuDi, Kangxi and Han Qiandi, and it is also an important reason why Qin Shi Huang, Han Wudi and Kangxi can grow into an emperor for thousands of years, while Han Qiandi can only be a short-lived tianzi.
Historians say that emperors of the Han Dynasty were "few but wise." However, I think that compared with Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Kangxi, who are the "emperors of all ages" in Chinese history, his wisdom is only a little cleverness; the Taoguang cultivation of Obscurity at the beginning of the reign of Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Kangxi is the real great wisdom and great wisdom.
In fact, it is not only to be an emperor who makes a difference, but also to do the daily life of our ordinary people. A person, just smart, only a high IQ, is obviously not enough, he must also have a high emotional intelligence, to know how to taoguang and obscure. Otherwise, it will only be clever and will be mistaken by cleverness, harming Qingqing's life.
