There were two princes in Qing Dynasty. The former is mediocre, but why is the latter smart?

There were two princes named Gong in Qing Dynasty. The first Prince Gong is very mediocre, and the second Prince Gong is very clever, mainly because people are different. The first Prince Gong had no talent, while the second Prince Gong was very smart since he was a child, even just one step away from the throne, and later made many contributions to the court.

In the history of more than 300 years in the Qing Dynasty, there were hundreds of princes, but there were dozens of princes, so there was a phenomenon that the titles of princes in the Qing Dynasty were almost the same, but the titles of princes in the palace appeared twice. One of them was named Prince Gong. He is the emperor shunzhi's fifth son. There was no knighthood when the emperor shunzhi was in office. Later, when Emperor Kangxi succeeded to the throne, he gave his brother Changning the title of Prince Gong.

Chang Ning also went to war with Emperor Kangxi and became a general of Anbei University. But later, he was fined three years' salary for not pursuing Grdan's army. Then there was a war with the emperor, and there was nothing for him. Later, Yong Zhengdi commented that he was lazy and mediocre all his life.

Another man named Prince Gong was Yi Xin, the sixth son of Daoguang. He was very clever since he was a child and was proficient in poetry and martial arts, but he finally passed the throne. Later, in Daoguang's testamentary edict, Yixin was named Prince Gong. After Emperor Xianfeng succeeded to the throne, Yixin was named Prince Gong according to Daoguang's last wish. He experienced three dynasties: Emperor Xianfeng, Emperor Tongzhi and Emperor Guangxu. When he was the most powerful, he was appointed as the deliberation king, and his position was very high.

He also did a lot of things. Preside over state affairs and pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? Xinjiang was recovered, and later the Westernization Movement was held, which did a lot of things for the country and gained a high reputation inside and outside the imperial court, and was called a good king.
