Why did Kangxi have to kill Ao Bai when Shunzhi changed hands?

In fact, we just think that it is easier for Shunzhi to take charge of personal affairs than Kangxi on the surface, but in fact Shunzhi is far more difficult than Kangxi. It can be said that in the nearly 300-year history of the Qing Dynasty, Dourgen was the only person who could truly be called a powerful minister. Other so-called worthies are just subsidiary under the imperial power. If the emperor really wants to punish them, it is just an idea.

For Dourgen, he was the only one who threatened the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty and the only one who didn't have to bow to the emperor. When he monopolized the political affairs of the Qing Dynasty, he actually had the final say and did not need the emperor shunzhi's approval. To put it bluntly, Shunzhi at this time is just a puppet.

However, when Shunzhi was just full 14, Dourgen died unexpectedly, and before that, Dourgen's brother Duo Duo, the core pillar of Dourgen, had already passed away. In this context, the emperor shunzhi's pro-government road suddenly became very easy with little resistance.

After the emperor shunzhi came to power, through a series of reforms, he not only abolished Baylor's old practice of managing ministries, but also partially carved up the power of Manchu nobles by reusing Han ministers. By the time of Shunzhi's death, the imperial power of the Manchu dynasty was already very stable, and it was basically difficult for anyone to threaten it again.

When Kangxi ascended the throne, Sony, Suksaha, Zieba Bilong, and Ao Bai * * * and Fuzheng. Among these four people, Sony is a flag bearer in Huang Zheng, his Babylon and Ao Bai are both yellow flag bearers, and Suksaha is a white flag bearer. In other words, the so-called four assistant ministers are all made up of members of the upper three flags (yellow, yellow and white), and there are neither royal relatives nor members of the lower five flags. What does this mean?

This means that Sony, Suksaha, Zieba Bilong and Ao Bai, the four assistant ministers, joined forces, leaving only three flags to control. As for the remaining five flags, there are forces represented by the royal family, Mongolian nobles and Han vassal kings, which they are unable to control. In this context, even if they jointly threatened Kangxi's imperial power, it was almost impossible.

Needless to say, the three flags controlled by the four of them were directly managed by the emperor. The reason why the Three Banners have higher power and status than the other Five Banners is only because they are personally commanded by the emperor. If they oppose the emperor, isn't this their job? I'm afraid I'll only make wedding dresses for the other five flags.

In this context, Ao Bai and other four assistant ministers wanted to rely on these three flags to challenge the emperor. What are the chances of success? What's more, four assistant ministers, including Ao Bai, couldn't pee in one pot at all, especially Ao Bai and Suksaha. They were completely nervous and wanted to kill each other, while Sony remained neutral. So, Ao Bai wanted to challenge Kangxi with the yellow flag led by him and Guan Bilong, which was a joke.

But when Kangxi was twelve years old, Sony wrote with Suksaha, 78 Bilong and Ao Bai, requesting Kangxi to lead the government, but Kangxi felt that the time was not yet ripe, and 78 Bilong and Ao Bai were not very active, so he did not agree. But from this time on, Kangxi knew that Ao Bai was definitely the only obstacle to true pro-government. At the same time, after this incident, it also gave Kangxi the confidence to get rid of Ao Bai.

Because Sony took the lead in writing this time, it actually publicly showed that he and his yellow flag were on the side of Kangxi. In fact, when Kangxi later arrested Ao Bai, the yellow power represented by Sony's son Suotetu was the main helper. At the same time, Ao Bai killed Suhasa of Zhengbaiqi, which does not mean that he controlled Zhengbaiqi. On the contrary, he completely pushed Zhengbaiqi to its opposite. So when Kangxi 14 years old wanted to formally take power, Ao Bai didn't want to, but he didn't have the ability to resist. He can only watch himself get caught.
