This drama describes a magnificent history of river management that has been going through half a century since the 16th year of Kangxi (1677 AD).

As the saying goes, govern the army in troubled times and control the water in prosperous times. For a long time after Kangxi took office in , there was neither a peaceful scene nor a sign of prosperity.

There are frequent floods in the area, the canal is silted, and the canal transportation is difficult. The "Three Feudatories" raised its troops, which shocked the whole country; outside, the Zheng family's forces were alone overseas, and the mountains and rivers were eager to unify.

When these unfavorable factors came, Kangxi adopted the strategy of pacifying the "Three Feudatories" and advancing to advance simultaneously with the river control, laying a solid foundation for the recovery of overseas territory. It can be said that it has shown great courage and political determination.

In these three major events, governing rivers and pacifying the "Three Feudatories" both consume national and people's strength. Among them, governing rivers is a systematic project with the longest time span and huge cost.

If there is a slight mistake, not only will the national strength be unsustainable, but the front line for pacifying the "Three Feudalists" will be extended, and the time for regaining overseas territory will be postponed indefinitely.

So, while Kangxi was tense in the "Three Feudal War", most of his energy was focused on governing the river.

During this period, Kangxi gradually formed his own thoughts on governing the country and completed the perfect exaggeration of going from a young emperor to an eternal emperor.

During this period, Kangxi was good at dancing in controlling people, using checks and balances and suppression, and he could not only broaden his hands, but also understand the great movement of the universe. The emperor's art reached the ultimate state of purity.

If you say that the plot is Oboi is a show-off when the young Kangxi waved his fists to the powerful ministers and showed off his strength. Then, constraints and balances are effective technical means that Kangxi has always used.

In order to recruit talents, Kangxi, in his youth, implemented the imperial examination system, and on the other hand, he promoted outstanding professional talents in an extraordinary manner.

Like the Gao Shiqi and Chen Huang in the play are all ministers who have been promoted without scientific research.

Reusing Chen Huang is to govern the river, and promoting Gao Shiqi is to use Han ministers to check and balance Manchu ministers, breaking the intention of Soetu and Mingzhu monopolizing the state of government affairs.

Cutting off the power of Oboi was the beginning of Kangxi's rule, and the selection of foreign relatives Soetu and Mingzhu was the beginning of controlling the dynasty.

Now it seems that Kangxi had foreseeed the ending and direction of the two before reusing his uncle and brother-in-law.

However, starting from the completion of the great cause of river management, in order to stabilize the regime and promote political propositions, Kangxi could only look at Soetu and Mingzhu playing tricks under his nose, engaging in power rent-seeking and forming cliques for personal gain.

In order to prevent Soetu and Mingzhu from joining forces, Kangxi mostly took measures to suppress one side and appease the other side, so that the two major groups always have the same power and cannot dominate one.

Kangxi was also happy to see the open and secret struggle between Soetu and Mingzhu. Being good at using contradictions is the basic technique for controlling people.

During this period, Kangxi was not confused about major matters, he was arbitrary, and turned a blind eye to small matters, and gave way to governing the river, pacifying the "Three Feudatories", and conquering the Zheng family overseas.

After all these major events were completed, Kangxi, who was gradually mature in technology, took the lead in launching a comprehensive liquidation of the relatively strong Soetu.

In the 19th year of Kangxi (1680 AD), a censor impeached Soetu, and Soetu resigned due to illness. Kangxi considered that Soetu was of use value, and he had not found someone who could replace Soetu to compete with Mingzhu. Not only did he shelve the impeachment, he also granted the title of Minister of Political Consultative Affairs.

At this point, Soetu completely fell into the deep pit dug by Kangxi, and embarked on a path of madness if he wanted to destroy it.

During this period, although Soetu's position was ups and downs, he never left the center of power and was still the most powerful minister.

In order to break this pattern, Kangxi arranged Gao Shiqi and Xu Qianxue into the cabinet and mixed it with a handful of sand.

, and Suoetu and Mingzhu knew the profound meaning of Kangxi, but despised their opponents, did not know how to restrain themselves, blindly confident, cultivated their forces and attacked each other.

In the 42nd year of Kangxi (1703 AD), Soetu was attacked by ministers headed by Mingzhu because of his participation in the Crown Prince. Kangxi, who saw the timing, took action and dismissed Soetu from his post and imprisoned him.

Mingzhu fell in Soetu and became independent and difficult to support her. Because of her corruption and formation of cliques for personal gain, she was impeached by Xu Qianxue's disciple Guo Xiu and all her powers were also cut off.

After the two powerful ministers embarked on the path preset by Kangxi, Han ministers began to show their strengths and began a new round of party struggles.

Xu Qianxue and Gao Shiqi joined forces to help Kangxi eliminate the powerful ministers of the Manchu , but he himself became a new powerful minister.

Xu Qianxue repeated the same trick again, asking student Guo Xiu to impeach Gao Shiqi for the "four major crimes".

At this time, Kangxi knew that it was Xu Qianxue's move to crack down on him, but he quickly split his "good friend" Gao Shiqi and removed him from his post and returned to his hometown.

When Xu Qianxue defeated his opponent and was complacent, under Kangxi's secret instruction, another minister emerged to impeach Xu Qianxue.

And Xu Qianxue was really not clean, and he was so shit that he had a handle. Kangxi had no choice but to "bear the pain of giving up" and dismissed Xu Qianxue.

In his later years, he treated Tong Guowei and Ma Qi as the same as the powerful ministers.

During his reign, Kangxi was able to not only use party struggles to make profits, but also promptly eliminate party struggles and ensure absolute imperial power.

Kangxi is never ruthless in protecting his own power interests, but he is always open-minded when dealing with ministers who are victims of power struggles. This is also the praise of Kangxi.

Kangxi proved with his own hands that being an emperor is indeed a technical job. If the means are not strong and the skills are not high, the mild ones will be used as puppets, and the severe ones will have different body and heads and dynasties.
