In our lives, "intergenerational kinship" is a common phenomenon, indicating that the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is very close. This phenomenon has continued since ancient times.
Many movies and TV series also often show warm scenes between grandparents and grandchildren. Many young people are reluctant to get married and have children for various reasons, but their parents are very eager to have grandchildren and often urge them.
Nobles, like ordinary people, also have a strong intergenerational family relationship. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty showed great affection for his grandson Hongli, which fully reflected this. Hongli showed great talent at a young age, which made Emperor Kangxi praise him.
When he first met Hongli, Emperor Kangxi was so impressed by his intelligence that he even put down his glass and stopped drinking.
Hongli: The successor of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor who was surprised In the Qing court film and television dramas, we often see Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, and the three of them jointly created a brilliant "Kangqian Prosperous Era".
As the grandson of Kangxi and the son of Yongzheng, Hongli has the courage to surpass ordinary people since he was a child. So, what did Emperor Kangxi find out from this successor?
What surprised this Ninety-Five? Under the influence of family education since childhood, Hongli has shown excellent leadership skills and excellent strategic vision. He not only inherited the excellent qualities of Kangxi and Yongzheng, but also showed his unique leadership charm.
With the joint efforts of three generations of grandparents, China's treasury is abundant, the people are abundant, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. In particular, the Kangxi Emperor, during his reign, made outstanding achievements and was determined to be in all directions, not only quelling rebellions and invasions from many sides, but also recovering Taiwan.
Under his guidance, Hongli further consolidated the rule of the Qing Dynasty and made important contributions to the continuation of the "Kangqian Prosperous Era".
No one can beat the shadow of his father, and after Kangxi's death, his fourth son Yongzheng ascended the throne. In the rectification of the government and the rectification of the official system, Yongzheng worked hard, and finally died after only 13 years of reign due to overwork.
And Hongli took over the baton from his father. Hongli grew up under the influence of his father Yongzheng and was familiar with poetry and books. When he was a teenager, Kangxi took special care of him, and even kept him by his side, teaching him to study the ways of the sages every day.
Under the influence of two generations of kings, Hongli was able to share his father's worries and solve problems for the country at a young age. It was precisely because of Kangxi's careful teaching that Hongli was more able to take on heavy responsibilities than other emperors and grandsons, and thus became the later Hongli Emperor. ”
Emperor Kangxi's favor for Hongli was not accidental, not only because of the next generation, but also because of the deep impression left by the first meeting. It is often said that the first impression is very important, it will leave a lasting impression in the other person's mind, and improve one's status and image.
Hongli's first impression of his grandfather Kangxi was very good, and it is said that when Kangxi saw him for the first time, he even put down the wine cup in his hand and stopped drinking.
Some people may think it is incredible, Hongli is young, how can he frighten the Kangxi Emperor who once dominated the world? That year, Emperor Kangxi was 68 years old, the last year of his reign.
Although Emperor Kangxi's life was full of courage and bravery, and he once galloped on the battlefield, in his old age, Kangxi would also feel powerless. By chance, Emperor Kangxi suddenly wanted to go for a walk in the garden to enjoy the scenery, and when he was tasting the food prepared for him by his subordinates, Hongli suddenly came to meet him.
Xiao Hongli's demeanor was dignified and magnificent, and there was no timidity on his face, which made Emperor Kangxi's eyes shine. After learning that he was his grandson, Emperor Kangxi began to look at him carefully, and the more he looked, the more he felt that he had an extraordinary temperament and radiant brilliance.
In the face of Emperor Kangxi's questioning, Xiao Hongli was calm and answered fluently, which surprised Emperor Kangxi, put down the wine glass in his hand, and did not eat. In the face of everyone's popularity, Emperor Kangxi directly praised his grandson, and the banquet ended in a joyful atmosphere.
This banquet began Hongli's counterattack journey. Hongli left a deep impression on Emperor Kangxi, and Emperor Kangxi even let Xiao Hongli stay by his side and accompany him every day.
Some people believe that under the influence of Emperor Kangxi, Hongli must have been very good. Some people even believe that when Emperor Kangxi first saw Hongli, he had already determined that Hongli was his ideal heir.
However, this is a slight exaggeration, because Hongli was only a child at the time, and it is difficult to imagine that he would take on such a great responsibility.
Some people say that three years old looks big, and the responsibility and courage of Hongli when he was young are really eye-catching. So, let's imagine what he would be like when he grew up.
Regarding the issue of the heir to the throne, Emperor Kangxi has long been looking for a suitable candidate, but has not found a satisfactory one. However, when Hongli appeared, Emperor Kangxi seemed to have an answer in his heart.
The first meeting with Hongli filled Emperor Kangxi's heart with joy. He may have begun to realize the extraordinary talent of this grandson. Although Kangxi did not consider letting Hongli's bloodline inherit the unification at that time, in his future interactions, he was more and more moved by Hongli's feelings for his family and country.
In Kangxi's eyes, Hongli is not only extremely smart, but also regards his family and country as his responsibility since he was a child. This makes the idea of family and country particularly important in his eyes.
Why did Emperor Kangxi choose Yongzheng as the best person? An important reason for this may be his son Hongli. A child with excellent education will naturally have a father's education level not worse.
And when Kangxi saw Hongli, he was shocked by Hongli's temperament, and it turned out that the successor was close at hand.
