Chapter 8 Kangxi's thoughts
At this time, Kangxi was thinking about the Empress Dowager and the former emperor, in the process of the Empress Dowager teaching him, his image of the Empress Dowager has not been very good, and he contradicted his mother for the favored concubine, and he was naïve to politics and unkind to his parents.
But after he accepted the secret guard prepared for him by the imperial father, his impression of the emperor was completely overturned, and the Shunzhi in the mouth of the secret guard was a person who was still worried about the hardships of the emperor's succession to the throne before he died, and left an ardent hope that he could govern the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Before he died, he left a hidden power for his son, and even the empress dowager's palace forces for many years did not discover Shunzhi's secret power.
Kangxi always knew that his Emperor Ama had not considered him inheriting the throne before, and even Emperor Ama wanted to choose an adult emperor for the Qing Dynasty from the beginning, because the Empress Dowager, Huang Ama was even willing to let his son miss the throne. To be honest, when Kangxi learned about this from the Empress Dowager, he didn't complain about Huang Ama.
But in the information record of the secret guard, the emperor's mental journey at that time is written. At that time, under the threat of smallpox, Shunji began to consider who could succeed him to the throne. First of all, the eldest son of his son, Niu Niu, has died, and the second son Fuquan is actually the eldest son who is only nine years old, and the third son Xuan Ye at the age of eight, the fifth son Chang Ning at the age of five, the sixth son Qi Zhi at the age of three, the seventh son Longxi at the age of two and the eighth son Yonggan at the age of two. First of all, Chang Ning's sons are too young, Shunzhi didn't think about them at all, only nine-year-old Fuquan and eight-year-old Xuanye could barely do it.
It's just that Fuquan was blind in one eye in an accident that can't be called an accident, Xuan Ye contracted smallpox but finally came back to life, Fulin knew that this was the means of those Mongolian women in the harem, and everyone in the world thought that Mongolians were rude and bold, but as soon as these Mongolian queens and concubines in the harem entered the palace, they seemed to awaken the palace fighting genes of harem women.
However, no matter how secretive they are, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, a veteran of the harem who has been immersed in the harem for decades, will not be able to find out, since even he can't find out, then his imperial mother must know at this time and help them sweep the tail, and even his imperial mother is also involved.
Fu Lin was also in a dilemma at this time, he was only worried that once he made the crown prince, his son would die unexpectedly the next day. At this time, Shunzhi was also very helpless, even he would not be willing to let himself cut off his children and grandchildren. So Shunzhi began to consider suitable candidates in the clan, and at this time, Prince An entered Shunzhi's eyes. In Shunzhi's view, Prince An is a good candidate, tired and meritorious, in charge of the Zongren Mansion, and Sony is an in-law, in the prime of life, with a longevity. In this way, the clan does not object, the court also has strength, and the queen mother can't control the new monarch, and Prince An will also see that he personally issued an edict to take care of his heirs.
So he summoned Prince An and asked Prince An, who swore that in the future he would kill his own son and pass it on to the emperor's descendants. Shunzhi was in a cold sweat after hearing this, and the Han history books said that a famous figure who killed his son and passed on the throne to others was none other than the officially notorious Wang Mang. The so-called "Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and has not fled", so that Shunzhi suddenly woke up, does he want to be Wang Mang? In the history books, when Tang Taizong abolished the crown prince and established his second son Li Tai, Li Tai also said that he would kill his son in the future and pass it on to his nephew. made Tang Taizong dare not set up a second son. Shunzhi thought that he was not as good as Tang Taizong, and he did not dare to establish Prince An.
It happened that the Queen Mother heard the news and rushed to the Qianqing Palace, so that Shunzhi could not establish Prince Li'an as the crown prince, and asked Tang Ruowang to persuade Emperor Shunzhi, Tang Ruowang said that the transfer of the imperial line would cause turmoil in the clan court. And Shunzhi also agreed to push the boat along the water.
Later, Shunzhi thought that Xuan Ye had already had smallpox, and the Queen Mother was close to Xuan Ye, I am afraid that the new monarch in the Queen Mother's mind is Xuan Ye, if he sets up someone else as the crown prince, I am afraid that person will also be more auspicious, so Shunzhi will also make Xuan Ye the crown prince, presumably the Queen Mother will also protect Xuan Ye, and other sons can also be saved.
It is no wonder that Shunzhi was the crown prince at the birth of the son of Concubine Dong E, in fact, the son of Concubine Dong was the highest at that time, Concubine Dong was the daughter of the Minister of the Interior, and the concubines who gave birth to other concubines were low, because there were many Mongolian concubines in the Shunzhi harem, and the Queen Mother was partial to Mongolia, and the Minister of Manchuria did not want her daughter to enter the palace and had to be in a low position, so it was better to marry other big families, so the family of the Manchurian woman in the harem was not high, such as Fuquan's mother Concubine Ning Yu Concubine Dong E's family, Changshi Kaji Hainu, the concubine, Xuanye's mother Concubine Tong is also a concubine, and Changning's mother is Concubine Chen, The eldest son, Niu Niu's mother, Concubine Ba, when he was born, Shunzhi had amnesty for the world, but even so, Ba Shi has always been a concubine.
And Dong E's family was the Fujin of Bomu Bogol at the beginning, although it was a remarriage, but Dong E's family can become the Fujin of Bomu Bogol, and the family is also very good. Moreover, the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the early Qing Dynasty were not taboo about similar things, and Xiaozhuang also had rumors of remarriage. Therefore, Shunzhi is also to combine with the Manchu family, and it is the best choice for the son of Concubine Dong E to become the crown prince. Shunzhi was also able to regain power from the hands of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and fight against the Mongol forces.
But maybe Xiaozhuang saw Fulin's plan, Shunzhi's fourth son died, and then Concubine Dong E died of depression, and Shunzhi also lost his confidence, in his opinion, everything about himself was monitored by the emperor, almost like the emperor. After that, he stopped thinking about becoming a monk, and once Shunzhi became a monk, the clan was afraid that the clan would be aggressive against the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, which was also Shunzhi's last revenge on Xiaozhuang.
After that, it was even more of a farce, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang tried her best to make Fulin dispel her plan to become a monk, and Fulin succumbed, but then the advent of smallpox brought Shunzhi to the brink of death, and then Shunzhi wondered if it was his imperial mother who shot again. Until his death.
Kangxi shuddered a little as he thought about what his imperial father had left behind. Kangxi knew that these must not be known to the Empress Dowager, if she knew that she already knew that the cause of Huang Ama's death was suspicious, he might become the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty to be deposed in the future, and she didn't even need her to abolish herself, as long as a pair of poison, he could die of illness unconsciously. After all, the Empress Dowager can even do it with her own son. Now the power of the government is controlled by the empress dowager, and only the Han Chen, who adheres to orthodoxy, supports him in the court, and even the Manchurian clans are blowing the wind in that direction, so they go there. Don't talk about it, even Sony is afraid that he has reached some agreement with the Queen Mother. Kangxi felt that he was going to start cultivating some new forces.
In this draft, Kangxi decided to screen the family history of the show girl, and once he made any moves, those speculative ministers would react.
After thinking about it, Kangxi decided to sort out the people around him, after all, his emperor Ama might be planted here. Kangxi didn't want to die for no reason at any point. Others say how Kangxi is filial to the Empress Dowager, but Kangxi himself knows in his heart that he is just acting for the emperor's throne. After all, the Empress Dowager holds the power of life and death in his hands, how can Kangxi not be afraid and angry, as long as he holds the power, Kangxi can really feel at ease, Kangxi does not want to be as impulsive as the young emperor of the Han Dynasty who said to Empress Lu, "I am not strong, and being strong is change".
