What's so great about Ganlong? Why did Grandpa Kangxi like him as soon as he saw him?

Ganlong, named Li Hong, was favored by Kangxi since childhood and was taken to the palace by Kangxi. Kangxi favored Li Hong among many emperors and grandchildren because Li Hong showed his intelligence and extraordinary mind at an early age. Kangxi believed that the future of the Qing Dynasty should be given to such children, and only such children could bring the Qing Dynasty to its peak.

In Kangxi's later years, many princes competed for the throne, and there was a situation in which nine sons seized the office. Yong Zhengdi is naturally a long-term peeping at the throne. Yongzheng knew that he was not sure to win by competing with other brothers alone, so he came to a corner to overtake and pushed his son in front of Kangxi. I didn't expect this trick to work very well. Li Hong, with his own wisdom, let Kangxi see him at first sight. He felt that this child was the future of the Qing Dynasty.

Because there are many emperors in Kangxi, there are many emperors and grandchildren. Moreover, every prince has his own mansion outside the palace, and his grandchildren rarely see Kangxi. When Li Hong met Kangxi, he was already in his teens. Kangxi came to Yongzheng mansion, and Yongzheng offered to let the emperor and grandson meet his grandfather. Kangxi naturally agreed. In this way, Li Hong had the first chance to contact Kangxi. When Li Hong met Kangxi, he respectfully talked with Kan Kan, and he was neither supercilious nor supercilious. Kangxi likes this child very much. His slender figure and deep eyes show that he is more mature than his peers.

This time Kangxi met Li Hong and brought Li Hong to the palace to raise him. For Li Hong, Kangxi also personally trained and even taught him the bending skills accumulated in his life. Li Hong also learned quickly and was able to discuss state affairs with Kangxi at an early age. Qianlong didn't disappoint Kangxi, and the future of the Qing Dynasty really reached its peak in his hands.
