In the long history, the Kangxi Emperor was praised by future generations for his outstanding governing ability and far-reaching wisdom. However, his path to the throne was not without its challenges. When he first ascended to the throne, the real power was tightly held in the hands of the powerful ministers. In the face of such a powerful opponent, why did the young Kangxi abandon the masters of the court and choose a group of children instead?
Aobai: A warrior who leans towards the government and the opposition.
Aobai, the first warrior of the Qing Dynasty, established a lofty position in the court with his outstanding political skills and outstanding martial arts. Before the death of Emperor Shunzhi, Ao Bai had cultivated a strong force in the court and became the de facto ruler of Kangxi when he ascended the throne.
Kangxi: A young man who is both wise and brave.
The Kangxi Emperor was brilliant from an early age, but the knowledge in books was of limited help to the actual management of the state. In the face of the scheming Aobai, the young Kangxi often felt caught off guard. However, he knew that in order to truly grasp the power, he had to get rid of the great trouble of Aobai.
Gong Dou: A clever layout with wrestling as a cover.
In order to avoid the eyes and ears of Aobai, Emperor Kangxi secretly cultivated a special team composed of teenagers under the pretext of practicing Xi wrestling. This group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers is innocent and has no special feelings for Aobai, and is more likely to be used by Emperor Kangxi.
Coup d'état: Unexpected Opportunity, Wisdom Capture.
After careful layout and waiting, Emperor Kangxi finally found the best time to remove Aobai. When Aobai's defense was lax, Emperor Kangxi laid a trap in the south study. As Ao Bai sat down defenselessly, a teenager brought hot tea. Aobai's unexpected shaking caused the chair to break, and he fell. At this time, the teenagers rushed up and bowed to **.
Ending: The victory of the young Son of Heaven.
After Ao Bai was **, Emperor Kangxi successfully took control of the power in the court and really began his rule. Ao Bai was eventually placed under house arrest until death, and the Kangxi Emperor thus began a glorious period of rule, which is known as the "prosperous era of Kangqian" by later generations.
Summary: The perfect combination of wisdom and opportunity.
The success of Emperor Kangxi is the perfect combination of wisdom and opportunity. He is well aware of his weaknesses and the strengths of Aobai, so he chooses the most appropriate way to get rid of his opponents. He waited patiently and seized the fleeting opportunity with precision. This story teaches us that the key to success is the right time and place, and wisdom and perseverance are the keys to seizing opportunities.
