Gao Shiqi is the most lucky person in the whole drama " The World of the Long River ". He moved seven times a day, and he can be said to have reached the sky in one step, which has attracted many envy.
As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, Gao Shiqi is with the emperor, and he also has his worries. If you walk too close, you can easily get off the position. If you walk too far, you are afraid that you will not be able to keep up with the footsteps of Kangxi .
Although Kangxi is so fond of him, Gao Shiqi cannot become the emperor's confidant at the moment, Kangxi's understanding of him is still in the contact stage.
Kangxi conducted a special test on Gao Shiqi in order to test him for his loyalty.
In the play, Kangxi asked Gao Shiqi three times what books he had read recently? Every question has a different meaning.
Otherwise, Kangxi's methods are much more powerful than we imagined.
Then, let’s combine the film and television series "The World's Long River" to interpret the significance of these three tests.
Friends who like this drama must not walk away. I believe this article will bring you a lot of benefits.
Test Gao Shiqi's loyalty
Kangxi did not know Gao Shiqi's past, but only discovered his talent in governing the country from his ambitions. Whether
is a loyal minister remains to be verified.
Kangxi often talked with Gao Shiqi and talked loudly.
He wants to master the knowledge reserves of Gao Shiqi from his daily discussions.
Since Kangxi asked Gao Shiqi to enter the Nan Study room, he would take him with him almost everywhere and occasionally let him speak.
Only when discussing the secret song with Soetu and Mingzhu will Gao Shiqi avoid it.
But Kangxi found that the scope of Gao Shiqi's reading was always related to the things he was worried about.
For example, there was a disaster and epidemic in the troubled area of Kangxi, and Gao Shiqi happened to discuss content related to typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases with the emperor; the emperor wanted to build cannons and ships, and Gao Shiqi happened to discuss content in mathematics with the emperor, etc., which was very coincidental.
This made Kangxi wary, and Gao Shiqi had ulterior motives for himself.
So, Kangxi sat on the sedan chair and asked Gao Shiqi: What book have you read recently?
This is the first time the emperor tested Gao Shiqi.
He wants to hear whether Gao Shiqi is telling the truth about these coincidences, or he will lie and make up reasons.
Fortunately, Gao Shiqi told the truth. He said: is because he feels that the emperor has a lot of things to do and wants to synchronize with the emperor, so he will read related books specifically to share the worries of the emperor.
Although Gao Shiqi avoided the first test, Huang Shang also reminded him from the side not to be foolish and Ansheng became an official.
Test Gao Shiqi's ambitions
mentioning that Gao Shiqi handles A Xixi is definitely the highlight of his life.
not only got the emperor's money back and successfully distributed the disaster relief funds, but also made Ah Xixi owe him a favor, which was really good.
The emperor knew everything that happened to Gao Shiqi over there, after all, the emperor's eyes were everywhere.
Why did the emperor send Gao Shiqi, who had just entered the officialdom, to solve the problem of disaster relief silver in the river bank?
is not because of his business ability, but because he wants to use this to test Gao Shiqi's ambitions to see if he will use the "chicken feathers as an arrow" to abuse his power.
Gao Shiqi returned to Beijing and was ordered. The emperor did not ask how the matter was handled first, but asked Gao Shiqi: Have you read any books to share recently?
A seemingly ordinary conversation was the emperor asking Gao Shiqi if he remembered his original intention of entering the court, and not be proud just because of the emperor's favor.
savored several things Gao Shiqi did for the emperor. Whether it was investigating Jin Fu or Yu Zhenjia, Gao Shiqi did not receive any rewards. The emperor was telling Gao Shiqi in this way that his duty was to accompany the emperor and use his lifelong literary talent to assist the emperor. He did not have the opportunity to stand alone.
Test whether Gao Shiqi is standing in the team
Gao Shiqi can know so accurately what books the emperor reads every day, and someone will surely inform him.
This made the emperor suspicious of Gao Shiqi, and for a while he deliberately alienated Gao Shiqi.
Gao Shiqi and Mingzhu were chatting, and were shocked by the emperor's sudden visit.
The emperor saw two tea cups on the table and knew that someone had visited before he came. As for who he was and where he was, he didn’t know, either Mingzhu or Soetu.
Before leaving, the emperor pointed at the curtain and asked: Gao Xiang, have you read any books recently? The indirect meaning of the sentence
is already very clear, it is warning Gao Shiqi not to take sides easily and challenge his bottom line.
In "The World's Long River", the emperor's three questions about Gao Shiqi seemed to be just a simple sentence, but the background events that occur in each sentence are different, and each time Gao Shiqi is asked about the grade is also different.
As the king of a country, the emperor was tight and strict with the people around him. There were very few confidants in the palace, and no one dared to say that one person had any intention of getting close to the emperor.
Gao Shiqi is indeed a genius. The emperor kept reminding him that he was afraid that he would use his intelligence in the wrong place. As for whether Gao Shiqi will eventually become a confidant, it will not happen overnight. As the saying goes, people's hearts will be seen over time, and over time, you can understand Gao Shiqi's nature.
