Why did Kangxi visit incognito? What interesting things happened during the visit?

Traveling incognito is the plot of many film and television works and novels, especially Kangxi Qianlong's incognito, and the withdrawal rate is quite high. ? In fact, the so-called Kangxi Qianlong traveling incognito is a typical joke without historical common sense.

Visiting incognito means that emperors or officials change their daily clothes to hide their identity and visit people's feelings, among which the most talked about is dealing with corrupt officials who bully their superiors and deceive their subordinates. In fact, this is simply distorting history.

First of all, as the supreme ruler of the country, the emperor's every move will have an impact on the operation of the whole empire, and the capital, as the center of power, is the coveted goal of various political forces at any time. Once there are signs of trouble, people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to get into trouble. Such an identity, such a political model, let alone leaving Kyoto, or leaving the palace, must be carefully planned and arranged, let alone going out in casual clothes.

Kangxi and Qianlong did leave the palace and the capital, but they were not traveling incognito, but visiting, and they would inform the places to visit in advance, and then make relevant security reception, especially Qianlong. Several patrols (mainly to Jiangnan) were ostentatious and extravagant, so there was no private visit in incognito.

The reason why China people especially believe in traveling incognito is just an illusion that they are oppressed and unable to do justice. When encountering bullies and corrupt officials, there is no reasonable channel to solve them, so we have to imagine a wise monarch and a holy Lord to uphold justice for ourselves. However, after all, there is only one Lord, and the possibility of meeting him is slim, so I settle for the second best and fantasize that there is an upright official to uphold justice for myself. Later, it was found that there were almost no honest officials, all corrupt officials, so we had to take a step back and fantasize that there were heroes among the people, robbing the rich to help the poor and upholding justice for the people.

As a result, I found that none of these things happened. When I encounter injustice, I will kneel down and beg for mercy, or cry bitterly, or continue to fantasize that there will be a hero to uphold justice for myself.
