Kang Qian's birthday eight characters miraculously fulfilled
Emperor Gaozongchun, who ushered in the prosperous era of great unification, personally ruled for 60 years, and during his reign, his wisdom and perseverance also deeply influenced later monarchs. He passed the throne to his son, but he continued to participate in state affairs at the age of 89.
Today, Emperor Qianlong is deeply revered by the people, and his days are full of laughter. The legendary story of Emperor Qianlong has been widely circulated, especially during his time in the south of the Yangtze River, leaving many interesting stories.
Interestingly, when he was still a child, Emperor Kangxi took his eight characters to fortune telling. After reading the eight characters, the physiognomy said 10 words: "For a woman, you must be a prostitute, and for a man, you must be the emperor", and these ten words were later fulfilled one by one.
So, what's the storyline behind this? Let's explore it.
Emperor Qianlong was not from a prominent background, his biological mother was the concubine of Emperor Yongzheng, Concubine Gegexi, and his mother Concubine De was not favored by Emperor Kangxi, and Emperor Yongzheng himself was the fourth oldest among Kangxi's sons, neither the eldest son nor the youngest son, and was not valued.
However, the fact that Emperor Qianlong, with his intellect and perseverance, eventually became the emperor of China speaks volumes about the fact that no matter what his origin, as long as he has talent and perseverance, he will be able to succeed.
How to tell the story of Emperor Qianlong's ascension to the throne? This needs to go back to a story about Kangxi sixty years ago. Hongli has been very intelligent since he was a child, and he began to read at the age of five, with an excellent memory and can read by eye.
After five years of study, he accumulated a wealth of knowledge, and even in the face of poverty and might, he was unwavering, and looked like a little adult. That year, Emperor Kangxi had nothing to do and came to Yongzheng's mansion to play.
Emperor Yongzheng received him carefully, and they set up a banquet in the Old Summer Palace. At this moment, ten-year-old Hongli and his companions broke into Kangxi's sight. While the other children saw Kangxi for the first time and trembled with fear due to his majesty, Hongli behaved calmly and calmly without the slightest nervousness.
Kangxi met his grandson Hongli for the first time and was deeply amazed by his extraordinary temperament and possible future achievements. He asked Yongzheng about Hongli and obtained his birth date.
After returning to the palace, Kangxi found an expert who studied the I Ching gossip to calculate. After examining the eight characters of Hongli, Xiangshi said to Kangxi: "If you are a woman, you must be a prostitute; If he is a man, he will be the emperor's ......This made Kangxi very interested, so he asked what it meant.
"If Hongli were a woman, she might have experienced ups and downs, but if she was a man, he would have been an extraordinary figure with incomparable wealth and achievement," Sashishi explained. ”
Hearing this, Kangxi's heart was full of expectations and had plans for the future.
Soon after, the Kangxi Emperor connected Hongli to the imperial palace and personally instructed him, regardless of whether Kangxi toured the summer resort or not, Hongli accompanied him, and the meaning behind it is self-evident.
In fact, in the sixty years of Kangxi, the situation of nine sons seizing the heir is already obvious. As early as when the crown prince Yinren was deposed for the first time, the eldest prince and the eighth prince began to compete for the throne, which made Kangxi feel unhappy, and the road to the emperor of the two was cut off.
Later, although Yinren was restored, it was abolished only a few years later. At this time, the battle for the succession was divided into two factions, one side was the fourth prince Yongzheng, and the other side was the eighth prince, but the latter supported the fourteenth elder brother, that is, Yongzheng's younger brother of the same father and mother.
Compared with Yongzheng, although the fourteenth elder brother is brave, his political wisdom is slightly insufficient. In contrast, the strength and weakness of the two sides are obvious, and with such a son as Hongli, Yongzheng can be said to have the advantage.
As the old saying goes: "Three generations of Shengsun Wang", after Kangxi's death, he passed the throne to the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, who later became Emperor Yongzheng, as expected. Emperor Qianlong's throne seems to have come naturally, perhaps because Hongli gave his father Emperor Yongzheng an advantage in the battle for the throne, so he was highly favored.
After he ascended the throne, although he changed the system of establishing a prince, he made it clear that Hongli was the prince in his heart. However, during the Yongzheng period, anyone with political acumen could find that he trained Hongli, who was only thirteen years old, as a prince.
His elder brother once competed with Hongli for the crown, but was eventually killed indirectly by Yongzheng. Since then, among Yongzheng's children, no one dares to compete with him. As a result, Yongzheng died in the fourteenth year, and Hongli inherited the Qing Dynasty and became the Qianlong Emperor.
As mentioned earlier, the young Qianlong lived with the Kangxi Emperor for a year and was deeply influenced by him. In the early days of Qianlong's reign, he devoted himself to national affairs and people's livelihood with full enthusiasm, rectified the bureaucratic system internally, reduced taxes, expanded territory externally, and subjugated the Quartet, jointly creating a prosperous Kangqian era.
At this point, all the hexagrams that Kangxi let Xiangshi see in the early years have been fulfilled. Interestingly, Qianlong not only verified the part of the man, but also half of the part of the woman.
However, in the middle and late Qianlong period, his attitude towards the government changed, and he began to pursue a comfortable life. He toured the south of the Yangtze River many times, and there were many romantic stories during this period, and "Joking about Qianlong" is based on these anecdotes of him.
Therefore, we can see that Qianlong's eight characters are very much in line with his fate - the male is the emperor, and the female is the peach blossom. So, what do you think about this interpretation?
