In the long history, the imperial court has been in camp step by step, and every emperor has been on the yellow robe when he has been spilled with blood.
The emperor's family is the most ruthless, and in order to rule the throne, he even does not hesitate to kill his relatives to seize the throne. The Xuanwumen coup d'état in the Tang Dynasty and the nine sons of the Qing Dynasty have all witnessed this cruel history.
However, the emperor is also a human being, and when there is no dispute between interests, there is still a relationship between the monarch and the minister.
The brotherhood between Kangxi and Fuquan is such a touching story.
First of all, Fuquan was in Shunzhi for ten years, Xuanye ascended the throne, and Fuquan was born. Although the status of the biological mother Dong E is not prominent, Shunzhi attaches great importance to this "eldest son".
From the age of four, Fuquan was educated in the palace and personally guided by Fan Chengmo, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. At that time, he specially asked Fan to teach Fuquan the knowledge of Sinology.
At the same time, Xuan Ye was born, the two brothers have different temperaments, Fuquan is stable and quiet, while Xuan Ye is lively and active. However, both were favored by the emperor.
In the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, the position of the crown prince was still vacant, and the ministers advised to pass on the position of Fuquan to quell the rebellion of the court.
However, Shunzhi's heart has been decided, and the heir status is finally established by Xuan Ye. After the death of Emperor Shunzhi, Xuan Ye ascended the throne as Kangxi, and when the young man ascended the throne, the sons of heroes coveted the position of the eldest son.
Fortunately, Tang Ruowang and other ministers loyally assisted and supported the young master, laying the foundation for the creation of the prosperous era of Kangxi.
Fuquan won the position of the eldest son, what will happen to the relationship between the brothers?
Secondly, after Kangxi succeeded to the throne, the government was chaotic, and power was concentrated in the hands of a few ministers.
In order to balance the government, Kangxi named Fuquan Prince Yu and appointed him as the minister of the council, using his power to check and balance the powerful ministers Ao Bai and others. This political alliance brought great benefits to both sides, and Fuquan gained trust and status as a result.
The two became a community of interests and maintained the relative stability of the government.
Although there was a rift between the two, in a battle in the 35th year of Kangxi, Fuquan privately ordered a truce without asking for advice because he was worried about the safety of the prince, which caused Kangxi's dissatisfaction.
However, Fuquan accepted the punishment afterwards and took responsibility himself.
Although Kangxi criticized Fuquan harshly on the surface, he actually maintained trust in him, and even named Fuquan's biological mother as Huang Kaoning Mi's concubine afterwards to compensate for Fuquan's family reunion.
Finally, Fu Quan devoted his life to serving his country, and participated in many important battles, especially in the Battle of Quelling Galdan. He demonstrated excellent command skills and control of the situation.
Under the duties of the minister, he rectified the rule of officials, cracked down on corruption, and made outstanding contributions to the stability and prosperity of the country's politics.
However, as he grew older, Fuquan gradually withdrew from the political arena and lived a quiet old age.
In the forty-second year of Kangxi, Fuquan passed away, and Kangxi personally went to mourn his brother, showing his deep affection for his brother. Fuquan's life was full of loyalty, wisdom and selfless dedication to the country, and the deep affection between him and Kangxi has become a good story in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
