On May 13, Huang Hong was both civil and military. Why didn't Kangxi pass on the throne to him?

Huang Hongfa, the 13th brother, is one of the outstanding sons of Kangxi. There are two main reasons why Huang Hongfa was not chosen as Kangxi's successor. First, although Huang Hongfa's literacy and martial arts are not bad, compared with the May 4th Movement and the May 4th Movement, he still lacks the boldness of the emperor. He had a good relationship with the May 4th Movement since he was a child and had no ambition for the throne. On the contrary, the May 4th Movement will compete for the throne, so Huang Hongfa stood by the May 4th Movement and always supported it. Because of this, he completely lost the opportunity to compete for the throne. As a member of the grandpa four party, he has no ambition for the throne.

On the other hand, Kangxi didn't like Huang Dijun very much, because Huang Dijun was honest and frank, contradicted Kangxi many times, and even was jailed for contradicting Kangxi once, until Yongzheng ascended the throne.

Therefore, Huang Hongfa had no chance to compete for the heir to the throne from the beginning, and Kangxi would not consider him as an heir.
