The first time Kangxi saw his grandson was when Qianlong was 12 years old, and it cannot be understood according to the relationship between the grandchildren of the common people, Qianlong is just one of Kangxi's many children and grandchildren.
It can be seen that a leader inspects the grassroots level, and as a result, the words and deeds of a department manager are extraordinary, and the leader wants to cultivate after taking a fancy to it, and he will definitely put this person by his side.
Kangxi probably reacted to this when he first met Qianlong.
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. This sentence is indeed a bit rough, but Danli is still not rough.
Kangxi has 55 sons and daughters alone, and these 55 families have more children, not including granddaughters, just looking at the 133 grandchildren who have records.
- If it is placed in a school of the current size, it should be able to arrange a grade, which can be said to have people of any kind of personality, whether it is good or bad.
Qianlong is also Hongli, which is one of the more outstanding ones in their generation, and the other Hongzi generations are not as stable as Hongli.
To what extent does Kangxi like Qianlong? Everyone knows that Kangxi has a long life, Yongzheng was 45 years old when he became emperor, and he successfully passed the throne to Hongli, that is, Qianlong, after only 13 years of reign.
Yongzheng is also a very special emperor of the Qing Dynasty, a very down-to-earth and diligent person, completely different from his son Hongli.
Since Kangxi likes his grandson's domineering and awe-inspiring personality so much, how can he like the image of Yongzheng as a "good old man" at the same time? And it was decided that Yongzheng would be the best person, and he looked very determined, which was a bit of a disobedience.
Therefore, there may be an answer, Kangxi is to let Hongli ascend the throne smoothly in the future, so he has the idea of letting Yongzheng make a transition, that is, he likes Hongli to this extent.
If there are only these arguments, there is naturally no way to support this idea, and more evidence is needed, after all, Yongzheng, that is, Yinzhen, has 10 sons.
In addition to Hongli, there is another competitor that is more tricky, that is, Hongday.
However, these two people are not the same style at all, Hongday shows a normal "grandson" every time, and he runs to Kangxi to be coquettish when he has nothing to do, help his grandfather do something, and brush his face crazily.
If you want to say familiarity, Kangxi must have a deeper impression of Hongday, but Hongli's performance is a blockbuster, mature and stable, and full of imperial appearance.
Kangxi was very impressed when he saw only one side, and specially found someone to calculate the eight characters, and got a very good result.
This is a very strong evidence, Kangxi until his death, Hongli basically did not leave an inch.
It's not just Kangxi who teaches calligraphy and archery himself, but also lets Hongli follow him wherever he goes, on the one hand, he knows how to be an emperor, and on the other hand, he shows others.
It may be more important to show others here, to Yongzheng, and let him know that in the future, Hongli must be his own ** person, and Yongzheng will naturally obey him. At the same time, it will also show other contenders for the throne that the old man has made up his mind, and the other emperors and grandsons can wash and sleep, and you don't have to think about the future competition for the throne.
And at this time, Kangxi is no longer young, and choosing this point in time to do this will inevitably make people think more.
It is true that Kangxi died in less than 1 year with Hongli by his side, and Yongzheng also successfully ascended the throne, only 13 years later, Qianlong, who was less than 30 years old, ascended the throne.
Everything is so smooth, Qianlong should be regarded as the emperor with the best luck in the entire Qing Dynasty, his grandfather made the Qing Dynasty a great family, his father was down-to-earth and hardworking, diligent in politics, and handed over the affairs of the court to him.
But Qianlong's ability is still controversial, and this will be discussed later.
To say that Kangxi was very "surprised" when he saw the young Qianlong for the first time, then Yongzheng was too ordinary, and there were even rumors of "Fourteen Elder Brothers". At that time, many ministers did not think that Yongzheng had the ability to ascend the throne, and even the story of revising the edict was legendary, which was also panicked.
It is precisely because Kangxi loved this emperor and grandson after meeting Qianlong for the first time, and he had to pass the throne to Yongzheng under great pressure, which can prove Kangxi's love for the young Qianlong. And there is a cat greasy in this, which is the so-called "eight characters".
Although Qianlong's performance was excellent, the reason why Kangxi made up his mind was actually the "eight characters" that he had calculated, which may contain a lot of things.
When they met for the first time, Kangxi met Hongli and Hongli at the same time, and believed that Kangxi had calculated their "eight characters", and it was estimated that Hongday's "luck" was not good, so he was eliminated.
Now everyone is widely known to Qianlong's "eight characters", it is very likely that Yongzheng arranged it in advance, and Hongday was regarded as a sacrifice, which is why Hongday was able to show off his might later during the Qianlong period.
Anyone who knows a little should know that although Qianlong was set such a high tone by Kangxi, his ability is indeed average, and the only thing that is commendable is that he is a good hand in spending money.
However, it can also be seen from Qianlong's "eight characters" that "this life is rich and natural", which has nothing to do with whether he can be a good emperor, and the so-called "love when you see it" is nothing more than that. However, Kangxi took a fancy to one thing, Hongli was the longest-lived emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and he could be ranked in all historical rankings and lived to be 89 years old.
However, Qianlong took the initiative to abdicate at the age of 85, in order not to exceed the 61 years of Kangxi's reign.
This can also be seen that the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is indeed very good, this is also a dialogue across time and space, Qianlong himself should also know that compared to his father Yongzheng, Kangxi may be the one who really likes him.
On the other hand, Kangxi, at that time, he was in a mess because of the matter of the prince, and the princes fought with each other, and the old man also saw it. There are so many children, none of them are really satisfied, but Hongli is a 12-year-old child who makes him take a fancy to him. Because of his young age and seniority, he couldn't be the emperor, but Yongzheng took advantage of it and became the emperor.
Not only Yongzheng knows it in his heart, but I believe everyone knows that Kangxi is determined that Qianlong wants to be the best person in the future. Although the "Fourteenth Elder Brother" of the same generation as Yongzheng has a good reputation, he can't compete with Hongli as a younger generation, and it can be regarded as a good story of grandchildren.
It's just one thing to say, although the relationship between the two is good, Qianlong's spending money is really like flowing water, and he forcibly ruined the foundation saved by Kangxi and Yongzheng. Behind the infinite scenery, someone carried the weight for him to move forward, and after passing it to Jiaqing, the fortune of the entire Qing Dynasty was not as good as before, and he went downhill all the way, and he did not look back.
