Kangxi was a wise emperor. Why didn’t his son Yongzheng want to be buried in the same cemetery with him after his death?
Kangxi was indeed a wise king, but his son Yongzheng was unwilling to be buried in the same cemetery with him after his death. There are probably three reasons for this. First, Yongzheng's reputation as emperor was not justified, and he most likely tampered with Kangxi's imperial edict. Second, Yongzheng killed all his brothers, so he had no face to see Kangxi. Third, Yongzheng felt that the feng shui of the cemetery where Kangxi was located was not good, and he must have consulted the master before.
As we all know, Kangxi's favorite son at that time was the Fourteenth Prince. The Fourteenth Prince was capable of both literary and military skills and had won many battles for Kangxi. Everyone in the court understood Kangxi's intentions. But when the fourteenth prince went out to fight, Kangxi died, and the throne fell into the hands of Yongzheng. You must know that the names of the Fourteenth Age and the Fourth Age are not much different, and it is very easy to tamper with the Manchu characters, so there has been a lot of controversy. How could Yongzheng still have the nerve to meet Kangxi after this.
After Yongzheng came to power, he treated his own brothers very cruelly. Especially the faction of the sworn enemy, Eighth Prince, ended up being expelled from the imperial family and ended up not having a happy ending. His half-brother, the Fourteenth Prince, also did not get a good ending. The Fourteenth Prince was sent to Kangxi's cemetery to guard Kangxi's tomb for the rest of his life.
"Since your father loves you the most, then you should be filial to your father." This was probably the voice in Yongzheng's heart. The only thirteenth brother who died well died early due to cold illness. Yongzheng was really lonely all his life. As for Feng Shui, there is no way to study it. This reason seems very unbelievable. Because both Emperor Shunzhi and Emperor Kangxi were buried there, how could the feng shui be bad?
