At present, "The World" is coming to an end. The initial watching drama is often driven by the plot, but in the later stage, there is always depression and sadness like Mount Tai is pressing down. The throat of fate was tightly held in Kangxi's hands, and he was moved by the deep affection of Mingzhu when he knelt down and looked at Kangxi.
The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and it has always been there since ancient times.
Yirou therefore thought of a book - "The Hundred Thousand Years of Wanli". This book, which became popular because of "In the Name of People", is actually similar to "The World". "The Ten Thousand Years of Wanli" are not only about that year, but "The Long River in the World" is not only about governing the Yellow River. They use points to lead the surface and radiate all kinds of courts. They just happen to be the traces of the decline of the Ming Dynasty and the accumulation of the Kangxi and Qianlong prosperous times.
Kangxi has always been checking and balancing, cracking down on Suo'etu and supporting the pearl. Suppress Suo and Ming, and promote Gao Shiqi. Suppress Mingzhu and support Xu Qianxue... Even though Jin Fu and Chen Huang are geniuses and loyal ministers who have never met in a century, they must make way for the royal interests. This is the order of a Qing minister, and it cannot be changed.
So, if you look at the root of Kangxi's river management, then look at the reasons why he insisted on cracking down on the Mingzhu Party, what unknown secrets are hidden in this? This article will combine official history and film and television dramas to restore a real Kangxi Dynasty to you.
1. Xiaozhuang has been in the ages, Xuanye has turned into evil
In the 26th year of Kangxi (1687), Borjijit from Korqin was lingering sickbed. She was the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty. At the age of 74, she has worked hard for the Qing Dynasty for half her life since the day of Kangxi ascending the throne.
She heard the murmuring and crying of his grandson Xuanye in his ears, but she was powerless to turn things around. What should she say to him?
When I was struggling to enter the 27th year of Kangxi, Xiaozhuang could not hold on anymore. She told Xuanye her last wish: "Taizong's mausoleum has been placed for a long time, so there is no need to open it because of me. What I cannot bear most in my life is your father and son, so let me bury me near Xiaoling!"
Taizong is Huang Taiji and Xiaozhuang's husband, but she does not want to be buried with him. Xiaoling Mausoleum is the tomb of Shunzhi, the son of Xiaozhuang. She was lonely in this world for half her life, but in the end she became a neighbor with her son. She had trouble saying that, but she could only let go of her.
What is touching is that "The World's Long River" arranged a decent farewell for Xiaozhuang.
When she chuckled, she asked Kangxi: "Did they agree?" This question made people feel like they were stuck in their throats. No one could save the lost life. Even though Kangxi was the emperor, he was not the son of God. Life and death were destined to be true, and no one could resist.
Before his death, Xiaozhuang said something, but clearly conveyed two meanings to Kangxi. After all, this woman was still the pillar of the Qing Dynasty. She could see the court clearly when she was in her old age.
First, Xiaozhuang said: "If the prince can be established, he will stand. If he cannot be established, he will be selected again."
Xiaozhuang has experienced three generations of emperors and saw the hardships of starting a business after entering the pass, so she knew that establishing a successor was the "top priority" related to the inheritance of the foundation. The "Wolf King" always has to go through bloody battles to convince the public, and it is also what she sees for the future throne.
Xiaozhuang is most qualified to say this. Since Taizu Nurhaci chose the heir of Khan, his sons have had open and death struggles, and several sons with the most inheritance rights have "mistaked". The eldest son Chu Ying was executed for treating his brothers and feet harshly, the Great Bele Daishan was accused of having an affair with Nurhaci's concubine Abahai, and Manguertai killed his mother to protect himself. These "obstacles" of Huang Taiji's succession were all unable to achieve the Khan throne for various reasons.
Fighting for the throne will always bring bloody storms to the Aisin Jueluo family.
After Huang Taiji's death, the young Shunzhi succeeded to the throne, and Xiaozhuang had to rely on the Regent Dorgon. The imperial power that is high above is like a piece of fat, always something that makes people unable to get it, like a slight ray of light on their backs.
Finally Kangxi ascended the throne, he was also subject to the regent Obai. All this made Xiaozhuang know that power is the most reliable only in his own hands.This principle is also what Kangxi experienced most during his growth.
Therefore, Xiaozhuang would like to remind Kangxi before leaving that he could only appoint a strong successor, and the country would be able to pass on his talents forever. "Whether to depose the prince" became an obsession that Kangxi could not resolve.
Second, Xiaozhuang said: "It is okay not to kill ministers, but you cannot change ministers. If a person stays in the same position for a long time, it is difficult to protect his laziness!"
Who do you want to "kill"? Who should I "change"?
Many people believe that what Xiaozhuang refers to Chen Huang and Jin Fu, but in fact it is not. Historical writing is like iron, Kangxi is a wise monarch, and killing famous ministers must be recorded in the history of the past thousands of years. Aren’t he afraid? What their grandparents and grandchildren are worried about are powerful officials who can control the current situation and important officials who cannot tell the truth to Kangxi. How could the emperor, who is arrogant, not know the sufferings of the world? He just didn't know it specifically enough.
Xiaozhuang is the most transparent. The tacit understanding that their grandparents and grandchildren have developed over the years no longer need to be made explicit. Kangxi understands her. is because of understanding that he "blacked" after Xiaozhuang's death. He did not become bad, but just tore off his protective color and armed him into a lonely and invulnerable appearance. This is the price he must pay as the king of a country.
2. Qian Xue gained power, the Ming Party fell
. Before Xiaozhuang was seriously ill, the prince forcing the prince to steal the people's daughter and occupy the people's land was missed. When Kangxi was holding a sword and dyed with blood to question the prince, Xiaozhuang was calm and gentle, and even felt a little partial. However, when she was still explaining her funeral, she put the matter of "deposed prince" on the table.
National affairs should not be determined by personal preferences. Kangxi knew it well, but he still hesitated.
So, Kangxi would sneer at the eldest prince Yinzhi when he beat Buku, and would "help evil" when the prince lost his composure and beat his elder brother. He had high hopes for the prince, which was the child he cultivated and raised. How could he give up easily when he was nostalgic?
Don’t Kangxi know who is behind the prince? Of course he knew.
In order to protect the prince, Kangxi could only instruct Soetu to attack Mingzhu. In order to stabilize the crown prince, Kangxi had no choice but to eliminate Yinzhi's desire to fight for the throne, so he had no choice but to solve Yinzhi's hope - uncle Mingzhu.
Rabbit is dead and dog is cooked, so Suetu is also afraid. It is not difficult to impeach Mingzhu. What is difficult is how Mingzhu’s disciples are born all over the world, so how can they kill the chicken and scare the monkey? What is difficult is how can Mingzhu and Soetu kill each other for years?
At this time, it was Jin Fu and Chen Huang's turn to play.
"River Affairs" has always been the core of the struggle between the Ming Party and the Suo Party. Only by winning can Soetu regain the power of the River Affairs. Can he not do his best? Power and wealth always make people crazy.
However, Kangxi was too smart, and he sent Xu Qianxue to Soetu in front of him. He did not trust Soetu and needed someone who could replace Mingzhu and be loyal to him. Therefore, Kangxi gave Xu Qianxue the opportunity to serve him.
Even Yisan Ahmad realized that the emperor began to reuse Han ministers. Does Xu Qianxue know how to seize the opportunity? This is Kangxi's preparation for suppressing the two parties of Mingzhu and Soetu. He is reshuffling the cards and he wants to clean up the court. The Han people are eager to make contributions, which is better than being proud of themselves.
Since then, Xu Qianxue, who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, finally revealed his true face after gaining power. He is greedy for power, he loves power, and the one he is best at flattering is Kangxi.
There are many families of officials in all dynasties, but there are not many families of top scholars like Xu Qianxue. Xu Qianxue himself is a Jinshi, his second brother is also a Tanhua, and his third brother even passed the top scorer as early as the Shunzhi period. However, the knowledgeable and well-known Xu family has a bad reputation, especially in Xu Qianxue's later years, when he and his third brother were corrupt and repeatedly impeached. Can you say that he was infected by the officialdom? He only tore off the mask of disguise after he gained power.
"The World's Long River" restores a real, hypocritical and aggressive Xu Qianxue, and also allows the audience to see his shrewdness and calculations.
Previously, Yi Rou wrote that Guo Xiu, a famous Qing Dynasty official, became famous all over the world for his three memorials, two of which impeached Mingzhu and Gao Shiqi one after another.
Coincidentally, Guo Xiu is a disciple of Xu Qianxue.
"The World's Long River" was made Xu Qianxue the imperial envoy at the beginning. Later, Xu Qianxue didn't understand and was abandoned by Kangxi. Since then, Xu Qianxue has taken a different approach, which is the part that film and television dramas have not shown. Xu Qianxue knew that he wanted to be his own school, so he began to use his extensive knowledge to recruit students. Guo Xiu was his favorite student, and there was another person, who was Mingzhu's eldest son - the famous poet Nalan Rongruo.
From holding the pearl to taking over the position of Mingzhu, Xu Qian learned step by step. He was the most suitable candidate for Xiaozhuang to suggest that Kangxi would appear at the right time after he used a talented person. This was not luck, but an opportunity for him to hide his strength and wait for a low profile.
Someone may ask, how did Xu Qianxue get started? As the saying goes, success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He. For Xu Qianxue, the "Xiao He" in his life is the pearl. Taking advantage of the opportunity of professor Nalan Rongruo, Xu Qianxue gave this beloved disciple a lot of benefits. He even gave up his efforts for nearly 30 years to compile the "Tongzhitang Sutra" which was a collection of famous Confucian classics, and signed it as Nalan Rongruo.
And Xu Qianxue’s ability to “make a comeback” is Mingzhu’s “repaying for love”, which is the real historical writing! Xu Qianxue, who is good at flattering and engaging in battle, left indelible stains in history books.
stepped on the pearl, and Xu Qianxue finally "turned over".
3. The mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole behind
The pearl must be dismounted, he will not fall, the eldest prince will always be eyeing the position of the prince. If he doesn't fall, the eldest prince will continue to expose the prince's evil deeds.
Kangxi suppressed the Mingzhu Party headed by Jin Fu, but in fact he was knocking on the scoop and the most important thing was to clear the obstacles for the prince.
Therefore, if Xu Qianxue wants Guo Xiu to weave the crime, he must first classify Jin Fu and Chen Huang as the Ming Pearl Party. Those who are rebellious and obedient will not have a good end. Kangxi wants the world to know that he is the "god" of everyone. God must respect it, not hide it, and no one will be allowed to be unfaithful.
Jin Fu must take it down. If he doesn’t fall, how can he print the proof bead to buy the land? How can he punish Chen Huang for being unrestrained?
Kangxi was helpless. He knew Jin Fu's clean style more than anyone else. How could he bear to kill him? How can a good minister who only costs five taels of silver in his life be convinced by killing him?
He is the emperor and his father. He wants to keep the crown prince and everyone must become a stepping stone.
Soetu went to search the house, Mingzhu said helplessly: "This is all for Kang Laosan."
Is Mingzhu mean? He just knew that the power of heaven was hard to predict.
There is no shortage of talents in the world. Mingzhu still has Xu Qianxue, Jin Fu, Chen Huang, and Yu Zhenjia. But Kangxi was panicked, and he went on one after another, endlessly. Can the prince really hold the position of crown prince? He was afraid of Soetu's ambition, so Mingzhu had a way out. He was worried that Yu Zhenjia would be a layman, so Jin Fu still had to be loyal. This is what Yirou wrote before, the reason for their respective endings.
Xiaozhuang said: "God first makes people ugly before they dare to face death!"
Yes, people always have to die when they are extremely desperate. Mingzhu seeks to survive, the great men seeks a way out, and Kangxi seeks a good reputation, so they "stroke it right away" and give each other a way out.
Leave Mingzhu and Gao Shiqi, so the Soetu will not jump too high, and Xu Qianxue also has a fear. People always have to be restrained before they can be restrained.
Leave Jin Fu behind, the Yellow River surging, so that someone can fight against it without fear of life and death, and truly bring peace to the world.
. Kangxi is about to have a prosperous era, and this prosperous era cannot be separated from loyal ministers who work hard like an old ox, and also requires treacherous slander who praises me like an oriole.
The world is in harmony, and balance is eternal.
In the end, Kangxi won. He is the director, and those ministers just try their best to act.
