In fact, Kangxi did not believe that Empress Xiaozhuang had left a will before her death, but could not believe that this was true.
From a political point of view, since the reign of the Shunzhi Emperor, the Qing Dynasty has established a strict system of "harem cannot interfere in politics", and the person who formulated this system is The Person Who Formulated this System is Empress Xiaozhuang, the birth mother of the Shunzhi Emperor.
The Kangxi Emperor was very clear about this, and Empress Xiaozhuang was also very clear.
Therefore, if Kangxi believed in Empress Xiaozhuang's will at this time, he would not only adversely affect the newly deceased Empress Xiaozhuang, but also put himself in an extremely unfavorable situation, after all, "the harem cannot interfere in politics", not only can not interfere in the government, but also can not interfere in the emperor's reserve.
At the same time, if Empress Xiaozhuang really had such a will, would Kangxi obey or disobey the will. If he did not obey the will, Kangxi went against the wishes of Empress Xiaozhuang and was saddled with the name of filial piety; if he obeyed the will, Yin Rong at this time could no longer become a qualified successor, and insisting on choosing Yin Rong was a very irresponsible performance of the entire Qing Dynasty, and would also be ashamed of the ancestors of the entire dynasty.
Therefore, all Kangxi could do was to deny the authenticity of the existence of this will, which was to maintain the prestige of Empress Xiaozhuang, and at the same time not to put himself in a dilemma.
At this time, Kangxi, in addition to not believing that this will was true, also did not want to believe that Xiaozhuang left this will.
As the crown prince of the country, the future successor of yin ronggui actually conspired with Suo Ertu to seize the throne, which was already a heinous felony, and Kangxi was already extremely angry about it.
The previous actions of the crown prince Yin Rong made Kangxi believe that Yin Rong could no longer become the crown prince of the country, let alone be his successor, to become the ruler of the dynasty. This was Kangxi's complete death to Yin Rong, and he thought that Yin Rong at this time had no cure.
If yinrong's position of crown prince is not deposed, not only will the future trend of the Qing Dynasty be full of unknowns, but it will also trigger a new round of political turmoil in the court, which will also set off a new storm, which will shake the foundation of the dynasty's rule, which kangxi did not see.
Therefore, starting from the development and future of the whole country and dynasty, Yin Rong at this time was no longer worthy of Empress Xiaozhuang's support for him, and Kangxi was only disappointed and angry with Yin Rong.
Princess Rong's extremely rash behavior forced the Kangxi Emperor to severely punish her, which left the two with a lifelong regret for each other.
Princess Rong, in front of the public, directly explained to Kangxi the will of Empress Xiaozhuang to preserve YinRong, in fact, this was not to inform Kangxi, but in full view of the public, threatening and coercing Kangxi, at this time, Concubine Rong, on the one hand, seriously violated the ancestral precept that "the harem must not interfere in politics", and even put the Kangxi Emperor in a situation where he could not come to power. In addition to the incitement of Concubine Hui and others next to him, kangxi was forced to punish Concubine Rong as a last resort.
In fact, when Kangxi punished Concubine Rong, he also punished himself, and Concubine Rong suffered heavy service and endless humiliation, while Kangxi suffered endless suffering in her heart. The root cause of this situation was because of RongFei's rash actions, so that Kangxi had to punish Rongfei impartially and arbitrarily.
In the end, Rong Fei was smashed to death by the toilet, kangxi could only be separated from Rong Fei Yin and Yang, Kangxi also explained in the end that he believed what Rong Fei said, Empress Xiaozhuang did leave Yi Will, but at that time Kangxi really had no way to follow it, and Rong Fei's approach just put the already rather uncomfortable Kangxi on the fire, which was even more tormented, at this time Kangxi could only use the sacrifice of Rong Fei to maintain the stability of the court and the harem, and Rong Fei's death was also for Kangxi, and also became a victim of political rule.
And Kangxi, on the other hand, could only make up for her guilt by crowning Consort Rong as Empress Xiao Ciren.
