Emperor Kangxi attached importance to children's education, but why are all princes cruel?
Emperor Kangxi is not only a great emperor in the history of our country, but also an unparalleled emperor in the education of children. Let's take a look at the records of Wang Houxue and the registration of Kangxi's daily life in Qing Draft.

In the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi (1687), on the tenth day of June, in Yin Shi (from three to five in the morning, governors went into the study to read early; Shi Mao (5: 00 to 7: 00 a.m.), Manchu master Dahata, master of Chinese studies Tang Bin and Shao Zhan Geng Jie, and Zhu Ju Guan, who recorded the words and deeds of governors, also entered the study. According to Kangxi's rule that "books must be recited 120 times", the vassals asked the masters to check and recite in turn. If the handwriting is good, it will be marked with calligraphy before reading the new book. In the next time, the princes will write hundreds of Chinese characters.

When he came in the morning (from 7: 00 to 9: 00), after Kangxi went to the early dynasty, he would come and see how the books of the princes were reading. He advanced into the study of the Crown Prince and asked Tang Bin, "Is the Crown Prince familiar with his books?" Tang Bin plays "Very familiar". Kangxi picked up the book and picked out a paragraph casually, let Yin? Recite at any time and check at any time. When he left, Kangxi also specially told officials to supervise the Crown Prince's study.

After the emperor left, the princes began to write compositions until about 12. After the prince and his master finished eating, they immediately began to learn new things. First, they read the new text 120 times, and then recited it again. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the guards will send snacks, and after eating, they will start practicing martial arts, that is, riding horses and shooting arrows. After the guards installed the arrow target in the courtyard, Emperor Kangxi often personally came to demonstrate the riding and shooting skills to the ministers. After shooting the arrow, Yin? Has returned to the study, master Tang Bin and Geng Jie began to talk.

At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, Emperor Kangxi would call his ministers and conduct spot checks in front of them. Usually the emperor puts forward allusions, which are explained by the princes. Surprisingly, Mei Yin, then seven years old? Be able to explain the articles you have learned clearly.

Zhao Yi, a great writer in the Qing Dynasty, once lamented: "Those of us who rely on reading to be officials can't get up early every day, and the golden jade body of the son of heaven can still do this every day. More than three generations, it is better. "

Here, we have to admire Emperor Kangxi's painstaking efforts in the education of the prince. There has never been a bad emperor since Kangxi. This method of education seems to be successful. However, in their later years, why did the two brothers kill each other and separate their flesh and blood? Is it the temptation of power? Not really. This curse was buried as early as the beginning of Emperor Kangxi's educational methods.

It was April of the 26th year of Kangxi (1687). In Yingtai, Xiyuan, the pope's son of Emperor Kangxi shot an arrow. At that time, the emperor's teacher Xu Yuan Meng also went with him. Xu studied since childhood and was not good at riding and archery. However, Emperor Kangxi thought that xu teacher, as a flag bearer, could not know Wushu, so he took off Xu's pants in front of the prince and began to beat the board, and in the process, he constantly abused him. Afterwards, Emperor Kangxi still felt Japanese and ordered Xu's home to be copied and his parents sent to Heilongjiang.

Poor Xu "wrapped up" the wound, knelt in front of the palace and cried bitterly, asking the emperor for mercy and letting him go to Heilongjiang instead of his elderly parents. It was raining cats and dogs, as if the sky were shaking.

Emperor Kangxi once stipulated that the prince's teacher could not sit down during the teaching process, and once the students had questions, the teacher had to kneel down to explain. The exquisite teacher ceremony of Confucianism is worthless to the barbarian emperor Kangxi. So when the Crown Prince was in his teens, Kangxi made a spot check, Prince Yin? It is not surprising that we are angry with the teacher because we can't answer, and flog the old man kneeling on the ground in front of the emperor.

Emperor Kangxi suddenly fell ill when he personally signed Gedan. The old emperor missed his son before he died, so he wrote to Prince Yin. I hope he can visit himself at the front, but what about Yin? It's too late to say, even when I came to the emperor's couch, I talked and laughed as usual, without a trace of sadness.

And what about Brother Yin? The man learned that his father had the intention to abolish the prince, and even offered to kill the prince, saying that his father could not do it and his son would do it for him. Even Yong Zhengdi, who later ascended the throne of the emperor, gradually exposed his cruel and cold nature. The so-called companion is like a tiger, and Kangxi's influence does not stop there. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, his grandson, many people were killed in Daxing Wenzi Prison. Zai Feng, the last regent, lamented when the Qing emperor abdicated: There was no loyal minister in Manchu.

Who can blame this? Proud emperors always treat the ruled people as slaves, and even teachers can only give lectures on their knees. We in China have advocated "ruling the world by filial piety" since ancient times, which is actually very reasonable. "Filial piety is the first of all virtues", and the first lesson of so-called "filial piety" is "respecting teachers and valuing morality". Without respect for other people's hearts, there is no meaning of filial piety.
