Don’t underestimate what Brother Zhang said. This sentence paved the way for a series of decisions made by Kangxi in the future. This conversation between Kangxi and Brother Zhang is the most interesting in the entire "Yongzheng Dynasty". The tender scene seemed like a very common conversation, but it revealed the true emotions. The emperor and the guards had a common conversation in the tightly guarded palace. This was rare, because no one dared to talk to the emperor. When it comes to their sincerity, other people mostly talk about praising the saints, such as the emperor is wise, wise and has his own opinions, comparable to Yao and Shun, etc...
Brother Zhang Wu said that Master Thirteen is loyal, This speaks to the heart of Kangxi. The Thirteenth Master was originally a loyal and chivalrous person, and he was a famous chivalrous king. Kangxi even once personally named the Thirteenth Master the "Desperate Thirteenth Son". This title can be said to be given by the emperor. , Thirteenth Master was also the only one among Kangxi's many sons who dared to tell the truth to him. Kangxi recalled many benefits of Master Thirteenth from his conversation with Brother Zhang. He also saw the shadow of Master Thirteenth in Brother Zhang.
Brother Zhang himself is a loyal, honest and affectionate person. He was willing to be "killed as a white duck" for his elderly father. As a result, the god of luck favored him, and the Thirteenth Master and Kangxi were on the execution ground. After saving him, he was a person who knew how to repay his kindness. He knew that he should tell the truth to Kangxi at this moment, firstly to repay Master Thirteen for saving his life, and secondly to repay Kangxi for his kindness. Kangxi chose Brother Zhang as his bodyguard because of his honesty and loyalty. He needed people around him who would tell him the truth.
Why would Brother Zhang Wu, a little guard, dare to say such things? Why was Kangxi very happy after hearing this? Let’s take a closer look. Why did Kangxi imprison the Thirteenth Master
The Thirteenth Master was imprisoned together with the prince Yinreng and the eldest brother Yinti, so why was the Thirteenth Master imprisoned by Kangxi? Let's review the context of the whole thing.
It is said that Kangxi took his adult brothers and a group of ministers together with the Mongolian princes to the Jehol Palace for hunting. Before starting the hunting, Kangxi took out a Ruyi that had previously belonged to the prince. This Ruyi had a colorful color. Being close to Minghuang is a symbol of status and status. Kangxi said that whoever gets the most prey will be rewarded with this Ruyi. At this time, the eyes of all the sons were straightened, the prince's face was ugly, and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen was still Being relatively sober, he knelt down and said to Kangxi: This Ruyi originally belonged to the prince. The sons and ministers can't afford it. Can you take out another item?
Kangxi didn’t seem to have thought of this. Did he really not think of it? I don't think so. This is just a way for him to test his sons. After the fourth elder brother finished speaking, Kangxi added: The prince and I will not fight for this item, so that there will be no serious problem if the monarch and his ministers are separated.
Immediately afterwards, the brothers started competing. As they were talking, they saw dozens of riders from the east and more than a hundred riders from the north rushing over. The horses' hooves were trampling on the autumn grass, and the dead grass and leaves were flying in the air. . To the east is the thirteenth elder brother Yin Xiang, and to the north is the eldest elder brother Yin Yin. The eldest elder brother Yin Yin, together with his sons and disciples, all drew their bows and arrows, swung their swords and shot guns until they were covered in blood.
