How did May Yi Yin annoy Kangxi? What kind of people are the "Eight Sages Kings" in history?
Objectively speaking, when Kangxi chooses the heir to the throne, he will definitely choose a wise man, who can continue to lead the Qing Dynasty to a prosperous successor. If all the conditions are met, it is only Yi Yin, but why didn't Emperor Kangxi choose him in the end? In fact, the reason is very simple. In addition to his wisdom, the Eight Immortals also made Kangxi very angry.
Yin Zuo touched the taboo of Kangxi. When watching TV series, she always finds a little wife. If she wants to hurt another concubine, she will often use some Jianghu means, such as being a scarecrow and cursing her. In the Eight Immortals, similar Jianghu methods were also used. Before competing for the throne, he spent a lot of money to find a charlatan to divine for him.
Because he received a large sum of money from others, this charlatan is of course a good word. Regardless of whether the charlatan is accurate or not, in fact, he has touched Kangxi's taboo by playing these means. In addition, at that time, when the storm of seizing power intensified, his belief in Jianghu means directly made Kangxi angry from embarrassment.
The voting event laid the curse of falling out of favor. According to relevant data, in the voting event of Changchun Garden, Emperor Qianlong allowed all princes except his brother to participate in the voting, and the result of this voting was that many people overwhelmingly supported Yin Gui. Emperor Kangxi was actually surprised after the voting results were released.
Let's not say whether the Eight Immortals hindered the voting, but when everyone is choosing his successor, his position is in jeopardy. After all, in a highly competitive court, even if a person's political achievements and reputation are good, it is impossible to have no opponents at all, and behind all these results, some people point out that he has tampered with them.
Kangxi took precautions until the end of his life. Emperor Kangxi actually became more and more clear. When he saw that Quinn was supported by many people and the public opinion was one-sided, he had deeply felt the crisis. If the Eight Immortals fidget and have the idea of rebellion, the development of the situation will far exceed his imagination. He can only make preparations in advance, and it will become a natural thing to find a suitable excuse to suppress him.
If we say that according to the relevant historical records, the Eight Immortals did coordinate with each other, but when a person is too prominent, his small move will often have a great impact on him. Facts have also proved that if he is not as good as the people and even has certain shortcomings, then he will make some mistakes. Kangxi has a high probability of tolerating him. When he behaves well everywhere and deliberately seeks death, he will undoubtedly lose his arm.
