Daming: I just passed the imperial examination, and you told me this is Zongwu

In the eighth year of Zhengde, July 1st was an auspicious day, everything was possible, the wind was gentle, and the Yanzhi Bridge was red.

Zhou Xian reluctantly bid farewell to his wife Duan Yuening, disguised himself, crossed the Luo River, and came to the Chuanfu area of the Qing Dynasty.

Then, he went straight to the residence of Wu Sangui, the King of Pingxi in Yunfu.

Wu Sangui, a well-known figure, was two-faced and fickle, a typical mother who had milk. He was a famous traitor in ancient and modern times, from Pingxi Bo of the Ming Dynasty to Pingxi Wang of the Qing Dynasty.

He sold his life for glory and wealth, and for the Qing Dynasty.

In history, he set off the Three Feudatories Rebellion again and wanted to be the emperor. Of course, he was probably forced. He ascended the throne in the seventeenth year of Kangxi, and the country was named Da Zhou and the reign was Zhaowu.

He died of illness in the autumn of the same year at the age of sixty-seven. He was only emperor for more than five months, and his grandson Wu Shifan succeeded him.

Then not long after, the Da Zhou collapsed.

It really fits the saying that good people don't live long, but evil lasts for thousands of years.

If possible, Zhou Xian wanted to kill him directly, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since Wu Xigui wanted to rebel against the Qing court, he would be useful.

And what Zhou Xian had to do was to add fuel to the flames. The only person Zhou Xian really wanted to kill was Kang Mazi, because Kangxi had smallpox in his early years, but he miraculously recovered, but his face inevitably left a mark, and people in later generations also called him Kang Mazi.

Almost relying on luck and the incompetence of the Han people at that time, he sat firmly on the throne of the emperor, and was also praised as the greatest emperor in history.

Zhou Xian was also drunk, and those who praised the Qing faction were too shameless.

Many people called Kangxi the greatest emperor in history, but in Zhou Xian's view, Kangxi's title of the greatest emperor in history was all exaggerated.

What virtue and ability did he have to dare to be compared with the First Emperor?

Take a good look at what Kangxi did during his reign: capturing Oboi, reducing the Three Feudatories, pacifying Dzungar, recovering Taiwan, promoting literary inquisition, imprisoning thoughts, despising science and technology, shaving hair and changing clothes, and slaughtering countless civilians.

These things were all done by Kangxi, right?

Next, let's talk about these"great achievements" made by Kang Mazi.

The first is to capture Oboi: Oboi is just a somewhat arrogant powerful official.

Oboi never wanted to harm Kangxi from beginning to end.

Kangxi was invincible from the beginning, so there is nothing to say.

It can be seen from the fact that Kangxi only imprisoned Oboi after capturing him that Kangxi captured Oboi just to establish his own majesty in the court through this matter and increase the weight of his words.

Because the political manifestation of the Qing Dynasty determined that it was difficult for it to have a powerful official like Huo Guang.

And he was very naive, relying on these eunuchs to do this, from a political point of view, extremely immature.

There is also the reduction of the Three Feudatories: Wu Sangui was already over 60 years old when the Three Feudatories were reduced, and Wu Sangui's son was still a hostage in the capital.

Wu Sangui was not stupid.

If he wanted to rebel, he would have done it long ago.

Why did he have to wait until he was almost dead? What a joke, Wu Sangui's greatest advantage was that he knew the current situation, so it was impossible for Wu Sangui to rebel in a stable period.

Then there is the last reason, that is, Kangxi must have done something excessive to force Wu Sangui to rebel.

Let's not talk about how Kangxi forced Wu Sangui to rebel, let's talk about the war between Kangxi and Wu Sangui.

It took Kangxi almost ten years to completely redress Wu Sangui.

With this time, Qin Shihuang would have unified the six kingdoms long ago.

Comparing him with Qin Shihuang is to belittle Qin Shihuang.

In addition, the reduction of the Three Feudatories was just a small civil strife.

The beginning of the civil strife was because of his own lack of ability, and he almost killed himself.

If it weren't for his good luck and the death of the Three Feudatories, he would probably be dead.

It's not shameful to show off this little thing.

Then there was the matter of recovering Ryukyu.

After Zheng Chenggong's death, the Zheng Clan in Ryukyu was in chaos.

During this civil war, many people surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

After this civil war, the strength of the Zheng Clan in Ryukyu was only about 30%, or even less than 30%.

Especially after Zheng Jing's death, the remaining 30% of the people in Taiwan went into civil war again.

At that time, the powerful ministers established the young lord Zheng Keshuang as the king, but some people were dissatisfied, so a civil war began.

The power of Ryukyu was consumed in one civil war after another.

What does this have to do with Kangxi? It was only because he was the lord of the Central Plains at that time that Ryukyu surrendered to him.

What effort did Kangxi make in the recovery of Ryukyu? As for the matter of pacifying Jungar, it is even more difficult to go into detail.

It took 70 years to pacify the Dzungars.

After the Dzungars were pacified, Kangxi himself would have been rotting in the ground.

How could Kangxi have had anything to do with it? Moreover, before the Dzungars were pacified, most of the old ministers of the Kangxi period were almost dead.

No matter how you look at it, this matter was pinned on Kangxi by Yongzheng.

If you really look into it, it can't be considered Kangxi's credit at all.

Next, it's the literary inquisition.

Many people think that the literary inquisition was done by Qianlong during the reign of Emperor Qianlong.

No, it's not like that.

The literary inquisition appeared as early as the reign of Emperor Kangxi.

There were many people who were killed because of the literary inquisition during the reign of Emperor Kangxi.

For example, the Ming History case, the Nanshan Collection case, the Xu Jun case, the Zhu Fangdan case, the Wang Xihou case, etc.

were all caused by Emperor Kangxi.

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, you had to be careful when speaking and doing things.

If you said something wrong, you would lose your head.

Now you know where the literary inquisition during the reign of Emperor Qianlong started!

It's not that Zhou Xian wanted to put the blame for the Qianlong period on Kangxi, but these things were really related to Kangxi.

The person Qianlong admired most in his life was Kangxi, so during the Qianlong period, Qianlong imitated Kangxi in everything, imitated Kangxi's philandering, and imitated Kangxi's extravagance.

So it's not unfair to blame Kangxi for the literary inquisition!

Therefore, the so-called greatest emperor of all time is nothing but bragging.

Although he has some ability, he is far from being the greatest emperor of all time.

Thinking of the three massacres in Jiading and the ten days of Yangzhou, Zhou Xian was so angry that his teeth itched.

Then think about the hundreds of years of humiliation by the great powers in later generations, being pressed to the ground, ceding land and paying indemnities, countless unequal treaties, and being called the sick man of East Asia.

The Qing Dynasty must not be kept.

Although this world is biased, human emotions are connected.

Kang Mazi must be killed. As Zhou Xian said, even the king of heaven cannot stop him.
