Kangxi fell in love with Li Hong when he first met him when he was ten years old. What does he like about Li Hong?

Anyone who knows the history of the Qing Dynasty knows that when Kangxi first met Li Hong, he directly took him back to the palace to raise him himself. Moreover, Yongzheng succeeded to the throne because of Li Hong, and the history books also recorded that Li Hong mentioned this matter many times after he ascended the throne. What made Kangxi attach so much importance to Li Hong?

I think the first reason is that Li Hong is an excellent child, but he is not publicity. You know, there are many excellent children, but few children are excellent and not very proud. Children of the royal family, in particular, will try their best to show themselves if they are particularly good at something. Unlike Li Hong, Kangxi was attracted by his talent the first time he saw him. Such children are really rare.

Another important reason is that Li Hong has great wealth, because ancient people were very superstitious, and Kangxi was no exception. Seeing that Li Hong was different from ordinary people, he quickly asked someone to leave the palace to tell his fortune. In fact, fortune tellers are a bit fake, because they can see that they are from the palace, so they will say everything. Although the fortune teller lied, we can also see that this child is very unusual from Kangxi's attitude towards Li Hong.

Another reason is that Li Hong has the style of a general, because once when he was out hunting, he rushed at Li Hong. At that time, Li Hong himself was not afraid, but he scared Kangxi to kill the bear at once. This incident made Kangxi more impressed with Li Hong when he was a child. After all, few people can survive in do or die. It is precisely because of this that Kangxi likes Li Hong very much. After all, such children can go through big waves.
