Anyone who has read history knows that Emperor Kangxi liked Qianlong very much. So why did Emperor Kangxi admire Qianlong? After all, Qianlong was just a child at that time.
First of all, Emperor Kangxi admired Qianlong, partly because Qianlong was more likable, and partly because of superstition. Kangxi once went to chat with Yongzheng, who was still a prince, and met his two sons by the way. One was Hongli and the other was Hongzhou. After the two children appeared together, Hongzhou was very clumsy and restrained, but Hongli was very generous. They looked full of energy. Kangxi saw that they looked like me as a teenager, so he put down his wine glass and looked at the two children carefully.
After Kangxi saw Hongli’s face and figure, he liked him more and more. After inspecting their work, Hongli answered questions fluently and had his own understanding, and Kangxi even more so. Longyan was very happy, thinking that there was someone to succeed the Qing Dynasty. Due to the coma of old age, Kangxi became a very superstitious person in his later years. So Kangxi felt that since his grandson was so lovable, he could be counted as his horoscope.
This calculation does not matter, the calculation shows that his horoscope is a big pattern, high blessing, and wealth all over the sky. When Kangxi saw that his life was so good, he decided to take him to the palace to train him personally. You must know that he had nearly 100 grandsons, and only the eldest son of the prince was temporarily raised in the palace. After Hongli had been in contact with Kangxi for more than five months, he behaved very well and knew when to be quiet and when to please. Emperor Kangxi also met with Hongli's biological mother and praised him as a blessed person.
In the spring of the 57th year of Kangxi's reign, Kangxi chose the 14th prince to be the general and went on a personal expedition as the emperor. All signs at that time showed that Emperor Kangxi was very selective about the next emperor. Maybe it was the 14th prince, not Yongzheng. But later Yongzheng ascended the throne. Yongzheng's ascension to the throne was just an oral message conveyed by Longkodo, so this made future generations very suspicious of Yongzheng's unexpected ascension to the throne.
Thinking about it now, when Qianlong saw that Kangxi could behave so well-founded, he was probably taught by Yongzheng, but whether it was deliberate or inadvertent Regardless, for these three generations, it can be considered a good result. But Yongzheng never thought that Emperor Qianlong would ruin the future of the Qing Dynasty. First, the White Lotus Rebellion shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and then various famines, coupled with Qianlong's great achievements, brought the imperial court to its knees. It was a mess. Nothing was seen when he was in power, until Qianlong died. All kinds of shortcomings have been exposed.
