Emperor Kangxi had ninety-seven grandchildren, so why did he prefer Gan Long?

In China, there is a social phenomenon of "intergenerational separation". Grandparents and grandchildren are usually close. Emperor Kangxi is the son of heaven, but after all, he is also the father and ancestor, and he also likes his grandson. However, because of his busy political affairs and complicated court factors, he rarely saw his grandchildren, and it was difficult for his grandchildren to see his grandfather.

Emperor Qianlong was born on August 13th in the 50th year of Kangxi, but he didn't meet his grandfather for the first time until eleven years later. In January and March of the 60th year of Kangxi, Yin Zhen, Prince of Harmony, invited his father, Emperor Kangxi, to enjoy flowers in Yuanmingyuan, and Emperor Kangxi readily agreed. On March 20th, Emperor Kangxi came to Yuanmingyuan to enjoy the peony flowers. Here he saw an eleven-year-old boy, the later Emperor Qianlong.

At this time, Emperor Kangxi was instantly attracted by the young people in front of him, and the history books recorded that he "fell in love at first sight and was shocked by heaven". Later, Emperor Kangxi asked about his homework and so on. Li Hong's generous answer made Kangxi very satisfied. There is no doubt that Li Hong is the best of all his grandchildren. A few days later, Emperor Kangxi sent eunuchs to Yuanmingyuan and ordered Prince Yong to present eight Chinese characters.

Hong's father is a waste prince. It is not surprising to be favored by Kangxi. Compared with Hong, his identity is much worse. His father is just a prince and his mother is an ordinary "princess". However, Li Hong surpassed other emperors and grandchildren, entered the palace and was able to accompany his ancestors every day. Kangxi sometimes taught in person, "learning to shoot in Baylor Yunxi and learn firearms in Zhuang Qinwang Yunlu".

The eight characters of Emperor Qianlong were Xin Mao (fifty years of Kangxi), Ding You (August), Geng Wu (thirteenth) and Bing Zi (childhood). This eight-character comment on writing is very long, so let's intercept part of it. "Geng Jin was born in the Mid-Autumn Festival and is the blade of youth. He is looking forward to his hometown and robbing again. He regards fire as the most beautiful thing, and when it is dry, it is the weapon of flame and autumn gold. The model is clear and strange, and it produces wealth and prosperity. "

According to this fortune-telling theory, Gan Long's eight characters, Tian Gan's Geng Xin Ding Bing, and Yan Qiujin are all very talented and powerful, "Shou Yuan is tall and thick"; The ground branch is in the meridian, the bureau is all four positive, life wins, and the Lord is rich. Today, fortune telling is superstitious, but at that time, Kangxi attached great importance to it, and it was precisely because of Li Hong's eight characters that it became successful.

Hong's father is an abandoned prince, so it is not surprising that he is favored by Kangxi. Compared with Hong, his identity is much worse. His father is just a prince, and his mother is an ordinary "princess"
