There is even a saying:? When Kangxi first saw Li Hong, a grandson of 12 years old, he put down his glass in shock.
For this statement:? I smiled, and I took it very seriously. Why should I ask? I can only think that it is a wonderful work. Does grandpa need such an exaggerated reaction when he sees his grandson? Even though Kangxi has 97 grandchildren, isn't it the most appropriate reaction to meet such a handsome child for the first time? Kiss, hug?
Is the aura of Li Hong's protagonist really that powerful? Kangxi doted on him, raised him in the palace and taught him personally, which was a unique privilege among Kangxi's grandchildren.
However, in fact, Li Hong was not the only one who grew up in the palace among nearly 100 grandchildren of Kangxi. Hongxi, the eldest son of the abandoned prince Yin Geng, was also raised in the palace by Kangxi.
Are these two children who grew up in the palace sure to be heirs?
I don't think so!
We need to clarify a controversial question: Is Kangxi partial to Li Hong because he wants Yongzheng to be his successor, or because he loves Li Hong and decides to let Yongzheng be his successor?
When Kangxi met Li Hong, it was already the spring of Kangxi 6 1 year, less than a year before his last life.
After seeing Li Hong, Kangxi asked him about his birthday.
Li Hong's birth dates are: Xin Mao (fifty years of Kangxi), Ding You (August), Geng Wu (thirteenth) and Bing Zi (childhood).
This birthday, Li Hong belongs to the life of being rich or expensive, so good eight characters, so when Kangxi first saw Li Hong, he decided to keep him in the palace.
Think about it. In the last year of his life, Kangxi met his 12-year-old grandson, which was amazing. Seeing his birth experience, he was not only raised in the palace and cultivated by himself, but also decided to make him an alternate heir, so he decided to pass on the throne to Yongzheng.
What do you think of this? It is a routine of virtual bamboo in the eight branches of the dragon. The protagonist's aura is too strong. Judging from the plot of the novel, there is no problem, but from a historical point of view, this is a big problem.
When Kangxi met Li Hong, he was only 12 years old. He is just a clever boy with a delicate appearance and excellent academic performance. As for his political talent, there is nowhere to show it. Can the shrewd Emperor Kangxi pass the throne to the fourth brother Yongzheng for this reason?
Kangxi likes Li Hong again. He would never decide the heir to the throne so hastily.
If Kangxi had privately decided to pass on the throne to Lao Si, plus seeing this smart and handsome grandson for the first time, his love was beyond words and he decided to keep this grandson with him. After all, I love my grandson, which is human nature, but I can't show it too much. He was afraid that other princes would know that he intended to pass on the throne to Yongzheng, so he made up the cover of Li Hong's eight characters to cover it up.
Then why did Kangxi make Yongzheng his heir because of Li Hong?
I think this is just the need for Li Hong to brag after he succeeded to the throne.
From now on, Yongzheng is definitely a really good emperor, but he offended many people, especially scholars, during his reign, so his emperor's reputation has not been very good, and he was even rated as a tyrant.
Let's take a look at Li Hong's ruling style after he succeeded to the throne. Although he made some achievements, he did not follow his father's policy of governing the country, but praised his grandfather Kangxi more.
When Qianlong was in office, he often recalled the time when he and his grandfather Kangxi lived in the palace for a lifetime, and repeatedly said that grandpa was the best emperor, and his reign time must not exceed his grandfather. Anyway, Emperor Kangxi is no longer alive, and no one can testify about the details of their court life. Of course, he is free to carry out artistic processing by himself.
Is that why you showed up? Kangxi saw him for the first time and put down his glass in shock? This beautification is really shameless.
As for Kangxi's succession to Yongzheng, I believe it has nothing to do with Li Hong, but Yongzheng won it himself. As for Li Hong's succession, it is still because his competitors are too few and stupid, otherwise it is not known whether he is qualified to take over. What's more, because he let Yongzheng get the throne.
As for 12-year-old Li Hong, when he first met Kangxi, Kangxi put down his glass in shock, but it was just Li Hong's boasting. If you really believe it, then you lose.
