Ao bai was an important minister of the three dynasties in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, with heavy soldiers in his hands and high hard work, and it would be easy for him to overthrow the young Kangxi who had no real power when he was in power, which was the same as the situation of Dolgun and Shunzhi when the Qing Dynasty had just entered the customs. So why didn't he rebel in the end? What kind of answer did Kangxi say in his later years?
First of all, Ao bai was known as the "first warrior of Manchuria" at that time, an absolute warrior, who followed the Emperor Taiji and Shunzhi to fight and kill for many years, and was born from the yellow flag, which was the absolute "iron rod" of the royal family, and was favored by the emperor, loyal and loyal, and contributed to the Qing Dynasty's entry into Beijing.
Secondly, in his later years, when he was assisting the government, Ao Bai formed a party for personal gain and held power, although he was the last auxiliary minister, he jumped up and became a heavy minister who said that there was no difference between the two sides of the dprk, and even Sonny had to retreat, and many things Ao Bai did too domineering, which was disgusted by the young Kangxi, and was eventually captured by a group of teenagers.
But the reason why Ao bai did not rebel was not that he did not have the strength to fight in the first battle, but that he would not do so. The Kangxi Emperor said in his later years that he included the answer that Ao Bai did not rebel, saying:
Recalling a number of things, if you do not speak, no one who dares to speak, and those who do not know this matter, among the ministers of my conquest, there is no one who worships Batulu, and Ao worships a remarkable merit and should be given a worldly office.
In this passage we see the emperor's recognition of Ao Bai's merits, and if Ao Bai has a rebellious heart, he will not say that Ao Bai's merits are remarkable and should be given to the world.
At the same time, among the 30 crimes that Kangxi announced to Aobai, 23 of them said that he had formed a party without authorization, 5 were intended to canonize the empress and sell slaves privately, and the remaining 2 were disrespecting the empress dowager, and none of them said that he had plotted rebellion. In the end, Kangxi saw his scarred scars after capturing Aobai, remembered his loyalty to his father and ancestors, and had no intention of usurping, and chose to imprison him.
The reason why Ao Bai did not rebel was that this person was favored by the emperor in this life, and he was also the nephew of Fei Yingdong, one of the five great heroes of the Nurhaci period, and his family was prominent, and he had no intention of rebellion. It's just that he was born as a military general, held a heavy army, had a high degree of merit, was too powerful, and was usually overbearing, which made the little emperor Kangxi like a man on his back and became a threat to the existence of imperial power.
Therefore, anyone who threatened the imperial power was someone that the emperor had to get rid of, and this was still vividly remembered as the regent Dorgon's disobedience to Shunzhi. Although many important civil and military ministers have made great contributions to the establishment and prosperity of the dynasty, once the country no longer needs it, or becomes an obstacle and stumbling block for the emperor's arbitrariness, the imperial power will choose the path of cunning rabbit death, lackey cooking, flying birds, and good bows. For example, Liu Bang, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhao Zhuo all killed heroes, and the early Qing Dynasty was no exception.
