Kangxi played chess with the guards, afraid of losing and didn't want to regret it. As a result, he made a joke

The emperor was fascinated by chess when he was hunting, but he couldn't find a master anywhere. In the end, he was killed by bodyguards. As the saying goes, "chess addiction is like alcohol addiction." I believe that many friends' elders will play two games of chess in their spare time and choose Go more elegantly. Often the two sides sat for a long time, and the ancients were more interested in chess. In feudal times, "Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting" were emphasized, but chess ranked in 1. In addition, ancient people did not have many special forms of entertainment, so playing chess became a pastime suitable for all ages. Many emperors have enough time to play two games. For example, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Kuangyin are all chess masters, and Kangxi is also proficient in chess. However, in the matter of playing chess, Kangxi also played a modest joke. 1698165438+10, Kangxi led his confidant to the hunting ground. Since the Qing dynasty entered the customs, in order to maintain its own fighting capacity and the brave habits of the children of the Eight Banners, the Qing emperor held "Mulan Hunting" every year in 165438+ October and the following March. Due to the severe drought in 1698, Kangxi hoped to hold large-scale hunting activities to eliminate the haze. Such hunting activities are actually more like promoting the friendship between Kangxi and courtiers and holding a get-together, which is similar to the fact that bosses and subordinates in enterprises go out to play group building today. However, after several days of hunting activities, Kangxi felt a little tired. ? At that time, Kangxi was close to 50 years old, and his physical function was slowly declining. At noon on the fifth day of hunting activities, Kangxi was bored in Dazhai after eating. Suddenly Kangxi was fascinated by chess, but all the young players around him didn't understand it. Playing chess always requires two people, preferably strangers, to catch and kill together, which is very interesting. So Kangxi endured chess addiction and felt uncomfortable. The eunuch next to him saw what Kangxi was thinking, so he quietly said to the people around him, "If anyone can play chess, hurry up." Go and play two games with the emperor, and you will get something afterwards! "At this moment, a bodyguard named Ren Fu shouted that he could play chess. Kangxi was naturally happy to hear that someone was playing chess with him. ? Unexpectedly, this bodyguard seems to have learned chess, and "three times, five times and two times" killed Kangxi, leaving no one. It was the eunuch around Kangxi who saw the master's dilemma and shouted, "The vanguard troops in front found a group of deer. "The emperors of the Qing Dynasty took hunting live deer as their supreme honor, so Kangxi heard about the discovery of deer and immediately said to Renfu," This mess is waiting for me to kill, and I will fight with you then. " After letting go, Kangxi hurried out of Dazhai, nominally hunting, but actually Kangxi didn't want to lose to an unknown bodyguard. This story is mostly spread in unofficial history, and the author thinks that this story is highly credible after asking about it in many ways. ? There are only two versions about the end of this benevolent person. First, Ren Fu stayed until the end of the game and didn't eat or drink for half a month. Kangxi thought that there was a game of chess left, but he didn't expect Ren Fu to die of hunger and cold. Second, after Kangxi walked out of Dazhai, he signaled his men to kill the guards! After all, Renfu deserved to embarrass the emperor in public. But through this story, we can tell you a profound truth that there is no friendship with the emperor at all. Even the most famous emperors in history, such as Liu Xiu and Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, abandoned Guo Shengkun. ? Kangxi is the most famous emperor in modern China, and most of his records are positive. But for a game of chess, Kangxi can ignore human life and play a meaningless game in the middle of the board. I didn't expect Kangxi to blame others because he was a "smelly chess basket". This Renfu may not want to be the first bird, but the eunuch around Kangxi promised to lure him with a lot of money, so Renfu was willing to take risks and meet Kangxi on the chessboard. Never thought, Renfu seems to have risen, failed to stop in time and brushed the emperor's face. After this campaign, Kangxi wanted to find someone around him to play chess, but no one seemed to pay attention to him. ? According to the draft of Qing history, Kangxi was really obsessed with playing chess in his later years. Even when Kangxi summoned Mongolian envoys in North Korea, he had to play a game with these foreigners. It can be seen that Kangxi's chess fans have reached a crazy state, but there may not be too many Mongolians who can play chess. Kangxi really couldn't find an opponent in the Forbidden City, so he had to race with these riders to ease his addiction a little. On the other hand, it also shows that Kangxi couldn't find other opponents at that time, probably because he hesitated and hurt Renfu. Kangxi is a man who can't afford to lose. In fact, not many people in Kangxi and Renfu knew about it, but Kangxi became an eternal joke because he regretted playing chess. Reference: draft of Qing history
