Shunzhi left four auxiliary ministers: Sony , Suksaha , Ebilong and Obai . In case one of them was authoritarian in the future, Shunzhi attempted to take advantage of the conflict between the four people to achieve some wonderful checks and balances.
However, everyone's heart is to walk on the tip of a knife. You must always be vigilant. Once the other party makes changes, you must also change accordingly. Sun Tzu said: Therefore, it is as fast as the wind, its sprint is as slow as the forest, it invades like fire, it is as motionless as the mountain, it is difficult to know as the yin, and it moves like thunder.
Shunzhi could have used the emperor's skills and power to control each other. Unfortunately, he left, a dead emperor who was only 23 years old, leaving a problem that young son could urgently solve.
The young emperor ascended the throne
8-year-old Kangxi From the backstage of history to the front stage, some ministers described him as lucky, saying, "If it weren't for the fact that he had smallpox when he was a child, the old emperor was afraid that his successor would not live long, how could he have the chance to ascend the throne?"
words were all contempt for this child. Among the four auxiliary ministers, Oboi's power rose, and the whole family dominated, and the other three companies lost the opportunity to suppress it again.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was worried. Emperor Kangxi, who was getting older, also saw the clues, and was to continue to sit still and watch Oboi become stronger and bigger, and wait for death? Or is it a Jedi counterattack and soaring?
Kangxi has loved history books since he was a child. Every time he read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to discuss heroes by cooking wine in Qingmei, a sense of heroism suddenly arises in his heart. Cao Cao says: A hero has great ambitions and good plans. Having the ambition to sway the world...
However, Liu Bei was able to cleverly cover up his ambitions through thunder when he was not yet successful. He is also a rare hero in the world. This is also why he was able to divide the world with Cao Mengde later.
The young Kangxi was a rare young genius. The most taboo thing about studying is rigid and dull. A truly powerful person will make timely response measures based on his or her situation.
Kangxi decided to follow Liu Xuande at this time.
first showed its sharpness
First it was a cool morning, and the young Kangxi continued to climb onto the gilded dragon throne as usual. Oboi, who was in power in the court, arranged major affairs at will, from the appointment and removal of officials to the random occupation of Han people.
Kangxi chose to follow his advice. He was not allowed to lightly draw his sword when he was not full of wings. This is the wisdom left by his ancestors a thousand years ago. Obai was too obsessed with the power of force and was determined to blame the demise of of the Ming Dynasty on the literati.
He often said to his subordinates: "The Han people only have a useless mouth left. Once life and death are involved, even their mouths will be scared and closed tightly." History does have its true story, so that later historians often lamented the ambition of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai when reading the late Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Kangxi's civil and military achievements are excellent among the emperors of all dynasties. He is about to complete a major event that is destined to be recorded in history. However, people in the fog of history have not seen the direction of things clearly, especially Obai.
The ancients said that reading history is wise, and it is not a groundless saying. Just imagine, if history gave us the same choice, we hold the world's most powerful soldiers and almost hold the power of the entire court, and the emperor sitting on the dragon throne is a child.
Will we look at a child with admiration? Of course not. He is a puppet in our eyes, and the evidence is in front of us. Zhao Kuangyin Chenqiao Mutiny, Zhu Di Jingnan Battle, that is not a predecessor than a junior.
There will inevitably be a large number of people who will flock to tell Oboi about similar things. He will constantly strengthen his position and even naively believe that the Qing Dynasty cannot do without him at all.
The wise and foolish people show a fundamental difference here. Laozi said: No one in the world is weaker than water , and the attacker is stronger.The young Kangxi was weak and playful, deliberately letting Obai relax his vigilance completely.
First he found the children of the nobles of Eight Banners . Manchu called it Buku , which means warriors. The most common thing Kangxi does every day is to wrestle with them .
Someone advised him: "Don't lose your ambition!" He immediately punished the official. Someone said bad things about Oboi, and he immediately sent the man to prison.
Gradually, everyone lost their reliance on the emperor on the dragon throne, and some people began to turn to Oboi, and Oboi also began to gradually calculate the plan to usurp power and seize the throne.
Kangxi still fell stupidly. Every time Oboi attacked, he would have had a lot of fun with him. Oboi looked at such an emperor and slowly lost all his guard in his heart.
Things have taken a fundamental turnaround here. Oboi has not paid attention to the little emperor's ulterior motives. The emperor is waiting for a suitable opportunity, and what he is doing now is to accumulate energy for that suitable opportunity.
When the time came, Oboi was wearing court uniforms as usual and walked towards the Qianqing Hall with a swagger. The hall was surprisingly quiet. The emperor sitting on the dragon throne seemed to be different from usual. He changed his cowardice in the past and showed more heroic spirit between his eyebrows.
"Obai, can you know the crime?" The emperor showed his rare majesty, like a young tiger making a voice.
Oboi's nose responded contemptuously. The little emperor picked up the teacup on the table and threw it towards the ground. The well-trained Buku rushed forward. Even though Oboi had the courage to be inappropriate, he was frightened by the situation in front of him for a while.
is a long-standing person. He quickly reacted and started to fight back, but what Buku and others prepared were all tricks to crack him, and Oboi was eventually defeated by his personal pride and greed.
The young Kangxi successfully kicked away the first stumbling block in his life. Oboi was thrown into a death row. When the ministers turned their heads to examine the emperor again, they had to admire his wisdom and forbearance.
Conclusion
Obai was completely defeated, and the emperor could deal with his life and death at will. Before deciding to execute him, Kangxi decided to go to prison to visit this former opponent.
Aobai, who was in prison, still did not show the decay of being a prisoner. He held his head up and said loudly: "I didn't think of letting me down on the Qing Dynasty, but I thought you were not suitable to be an emperor at the beginning. Now it seems that that position is specially prepared for you."
Kangxi smiled slightly and said: "The wrath of the emperor will take life and death."
Aobai silently, shook open the prison uniform on his chest, and scars appeared on his hard muscles, which was very scary. Kangxi understood that this was the trace that fell when he conquered the world.
Once upon a time, he was indeed devoted to the Qing Dynasty. At this time, Kangxi once again showed the emperor's generosity and wisdom and announced that he had pardoned Oboi's death sentence, which was very similar to Cao Cao. After defeating Yuan Shao , he chose to burn down the surrender letters he threw out by his ministers.
