Li Hong is the youngest and has no background. Why can he succeed to the throne?

Although Li Hong is the youngest, it is enough, because he has extraordinary intelligence, is deeply loved by his grandfather and knows how to please the elderly. Even if he has no background, the throne will eventually belong to him.

And at that time, Kangxi sat on the throne for a long time. Under such a long rule, he must have a certain eye for people, and he has also cultivated a good eye. Because in his eyes, he indirectly chose Li Hong as the future emperor, which was a shocking thing at that time, but it was also a reasonable thing.

Among many grandchildren, other grandchildren are particularly mediocre, but Li Hong is different from them. In Kangxi's eyes, he was a very clever and witty child. Compared with other grandchildren, he prefers this grandson's clever appearance. Just to see this grandson often, he often asks his grandson to come and accompany him.

Although Prince Baylor was very jealous of Li Hong at that time, Kangxi's love for him also made his later political career. Especially when he was still in Shang Qing, Kangxi took his grandson to hunt and personally taught his grandson the art of archery and horseback riding. Kangxi can educate his grandson so personally, which is enough to show his love for this grandson and his outstanding military talent.

Li Hong's father became the new emperor because Kangxi liked this grandson, which was of great benefit to his future succession to the throne. Therefore, even if his father has many children, he will never forget the benefits his son brought him, and then he will be appointed as the new emperor and inherit his own throne.
