Isn't Nian Gengyao's example a typical example of a confident person who starts to be favored and then crazily tests the other person's bottom line to prove the other person's love? Then it was fun.

It is true that Kangxi was not a fool, and Nian Gengyao did have extraordinary abilities of his own. Otherwise, he would not have been able to rise from a humble servant to a popular and powerful official with almost one person under ten thousand people. , and even historical books record that Kangxi once said to Nian Gengyao, "I really don't know how to love you, so I can show my face to the gods of heaven and earth." Therefore, in the early days of Nian Gengyao's great achievements, no matter what request Nian Gengyao made, , even absurd ones, Kangxi agreed to them one by one. And as mentioned earlier, Nian Gengyao was from a lowly background. When he was so favored all of a sudden, and there was an endless stream of all kinds of flatterers, his vanity exploded like a balloon inflated with a full motor.

Later, because he didn't know how to restrain himself, he thought that he had made great achievements in helping Kangxi to quell the troubled times, and a sense of arrogance emerged that everyone except Kangxi was my son. , so the first iron monster was finally forced to write to Kangxi about his arrogant, extravagant, absurd and immoral life. Seeing that someone was taking it for granted, all those who had been ridiculed by him before but were forced to swallow that tone because of his power at that time. They all gathered together to submit letters...Kangxi demoted him under pressure from his ministers.

As for the follow-up, he still kept trying to commit suicide. I think the reason is just like a child who lacks love now and wants to win that person's attention but is too proud to bow his head or speak, so he keeps trying He did extreme things in the hope that Kangxi would see him and notice him, and even get summoned by Kangxi in this way to play the tenderness card, recall their friendship back then, and find a way out in this desperate situation.

However, he lost the bet.
