In the history books of the Qing Dynasty, there is no detailed information about how Ao Bai was captured, only that the officers and soldiers of Kangxi's "Buku Battalion" captured him and tied him with ropes. In historical documents, there are six people who assisted Kangxi in arresting Ao Bai. These six people, one is called Wu Dan, one is called Sun Dianchen, one is called Zhao Fengchun, one is called Wolf Tan, and one is Mu Zixu named Li Xu.
When Kangxi was alive, they were quite smooth, but after Kangxi's death, someone became involved in the dispute between the nine sons, which made his situation even more difficult. Among these people, the most famous is Cao Yin, Cao Xueqin's grandfather, Wei Dongting.
When Kangxi was eight years old, the Qing Dynasty had just been founded, the rule of the Central Plains had not yet been fully consolidated, and the Han system had not yet been fully established, all of which would have a certain impact on the rule of the Qing Dynasty.
Shunzhi knows very well that the power struggle between the royal families is very fierce, and Kangxi is still very young and cannot manage state affairs, it is inevitable that there will be suspicion between the prince and the prince, if this "regent" appears, it will be a big problem.
Out of prudence, before he died, he selected four ministers to assist Kangxi to assist Kangxi in governing state affairs and consolidating the country. These four people are the loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, Sonny, Tuobilon, Ao Bai, and Suke Saha.
And Shunzhi chose these 4 people, one is because these 4 people are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and they are also indispensable to the founding of the Qing Dynasty, these 4 people have a pivotal position in the Qing Dynasty, if these 4 people are on the side of Kangxi, then no one dares to trespass.
Secondly, it is to allow them to restrain each other, so that no one side has too much power and affects the emperor's rule. But he didn't think that Ao Bai would one day be above the royal family.
Among the four ministers, Sonny is old, does not have much power, and is not willing to participate in this matter, so he does not participate in government affairs.
No matter how talented Sukh Saha is, he is still a man under Dolgon after all, and when Dolgon falls, Sukh Saha's power in the court is not as good as before.
And this person named Ji Bilong is a very cowardly person, and he can't do it alone.
It is in this situation that Ao Bai has room to strengthen himself, Ao Bai relied on his own power to infiltrate his power into the court, and in the end, even those guards in the palace have become Ao Bai's henchmen.
Because Ao Bai is a high-powered minister, no one can suppress Ao Bai above the court, which also makes Ao Bai's ambitions even more inflated, and there is a faint tendency to seize the throne.
Because Kangxi relied on Aobai for everything, Aobai didn't take Kangxi seriously, and Aobai was even more blatant in dealing with his political enemies, embezzling their family property, and the most proud time, even Suke Saha was killed by him.
Before Kangxi killed Suke Saha in Aobai, he said in public many times that Suke Saha would not be executed for his crimes, but he didn't care.
This is also the reason why Kangxi dismounted Aodra, and Sony's son Suo Etu assisted Kangxi in establishing the "Buku Battalion", which means "wrestling team".
At that time, Kangxi was still young, and practicing boxing with a group of people of similar age would not make him suspicious.
With Suo Etu's help, Kangxi has already installed a lot of henchmen in the "Buku Camp", ready to wait for an opportunity to get rid of Ao Bai in one fell swoop. When Kangxi thought it was appropriate, he summoned him to the palace under the pretext of "apprenticeship".
Ao Bai didn't think much about it, just when Ao Bai entered the palace, Kangxi took a group of people to set a trap there, as soon as Ao Bai entered the palace, they would rush up and arrest him. Kangxi immediately read out many of Ao Bai's charges and went to prison.
Aobai was defeated, and Kangxi attached great importance to some of the backbone figures in the "Buku Battalion".
Cao Yin, or Wei Dongting, not only made great contributions in the process of overthrowing Aobai, but he also had an "inside" connection, and his biological mother used to be Kangxi's nurse.
After Kangxi came to power, he got a lot of benefits, and Kangxi transferred him to Jiangnan to work as a weaver in Jiangnan, mainly responsible for Jiangnan's silk **, as well as buying high-end silk for the royal family.
Because silk is a high-end commodity, the profit is naturally higher. It is precisely because of this that the Cao family can have such a huge power in the south of the Yangtze River, but Kangxi will visit Cao Yin six times when he goes to the West, and Cao Yin has spent a lot of money to entertain Kangxi.
Cao Yin didn't have enough money to meet Emperor Kangxi's six trips to the south, so he ** had some money to entertain Kangxi, which caused the local fiscal deficit.
Kangxi knew about this matter, but when Yongzheng ascended the throne, the Cao family was still confiscated.
Wu Dan's real name is a stubborn donkey, he has no knowledge, he doesn't have any background, and before entering the palace, he didn't even have his own name. Legend has it that the third prince of Zhu conspired with his inner servants to rebel, and Wu Dan did not hesitate to wash the palace in blood in order to protect Kangxi's concubines.
Later, he was named Wudan, after Kangxi ascended the throne, he has been Kangxi's personal guard, when Kangxi died, Wudan also came to the end of his life, and the two died almost at the same time.
The third is Li Xu, don't look at Li Xu is a Manchu with a white flag, but in fact he is a native of Dezhou, Shandong, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, his father led the army to the north, was captured by the Manchurians, and became a descendant of the Manchus.
When he arrived at Li Xu's generation, he became a more advanced 'coating person'. He is also Cao Yin's brother-in-law. After Ao Bai was captured, Kangxi looked at him differently, originally followed Kangxi, but in the thirty-second year of Kangxi, Cao Yin could not make up for the deficit in Jiangnan, so Kangxi sent him there, Li Xu really lived up to expectations and filled this loophole.
However, Li Xu's fate is also very miserable, it is said that he has some relationship with the eighth elder brother, and he was a die-hard supporter of the eighth elder brother when the "Nine Sons Seize the Inheritance". Yongzheng claimed that the emperor settled the old accounts and confiscated Li Xu's family. Li Xu was exiled to the frontier, cold and hungry, and eventually died.
The fourth is "Lang Qin", there is very little information about him in the history books of the Qing Dynasty, only that after Kangxi ascended the throne, he became a general, commanding 30,000 iron cavalry, guarding the capital, but there is nothing about his final result.
As for the other two people, they don't know anything, after all, Kangxi's defeat of Aobai is not recorded in detail in the history books of the Qing Dynasty, just some rumors.
