Emperor counselor joke

Kangxi is an emperor through the ages, and there are many capable people around him. One of them is Zhou Peigong, a very famous consultant. Zhou Peigong is a rare counselor around Kangxi. He is brilliant and conscientious in his daily life. So why was Zhou Peigong sent to Shengjing?

First, the speech is too straightforward.

Zhou Peigong's personality is frank, and so is his speech. Even in the face of civil and military officials, he will not show any respect to the emperor. If he wants to know the story, even if the emperor doesn't want to tell it, he will risk his life to understand it.

Second, stabilize the heavy troops.

At that time, when Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai recovered Wang Fucheng together, Tu Hai wanted to bomb the city directly with artillery. However, Zhou Peigong considered the people, so he adopted the policy of surrender and finally succeeded. After returning to the imperial court, Zhou Peigong was talked about by ministers, saying that Zhou Peigong was a Han Chinese, and now he was armed to the teeth, and his power was no less than that of Wu Sangui. They were afraid that a second Wu Sangui would appear in the imperial court.

Third, sent to Shengjing.

Zhou Peigong, who has made great contributions for many times, also understood the meaning of the emperor, so after he came back, Kangxi sent Zhou Peigong to the snowy Shengjing, and Zhou Peigong didn't ask why. When Kangxi was going to Shengjing to deal with Gerdan's affairs, he dropped in to see Zhou Peigong, but Zhou Peigong was very ill and very old. Because he has been here for eleven years, Emperor Kangxi has ignored him for eleven years.
