Emperor Kangxi was indeed the best emperor in the Qing Dynasty! But is it the best emperor in the history of China? It's hard to say that even the most brilliant emperor can basically sit down. Why? During the Kangxi period, there were more than 3,000 concubines in the harem, and they had 55 children in their lives. She also married two sisters, Hershey, the filial piety queen, and Hershey, the princess of Pingfei. He visited Jiangnan six times. Apart from political needs, visiting beautiful women is also an important activity arrangement.

But regardless of personal morality, the evaluation of the emperor mainly depends on what he has done for the country, for the people and for promoting historical progress. And what great events did Kangxi do in his life? ? Right and wrong are listed for everyone, and readers and friends judge for themselves.
1, except for Ao Bai, there is nothing to brag about to recover the imperial power from the minister of Fuzheng, which involves personal fate. If he doesn't do it, there will be no Kangxi in the future.
2. Two points can be added for leveling San Francisco and destroying Grdan, which has made great contributions to the maintenance of reunification. No one has a stain on this matter.
3. Recovering Taiwan Province Province and maintaining the territorial integrity of China must be praised by Emperor Kangxi. The territory of the Qing dynasty under his rule was much larger than that of the Ming dynasty, second only to the Yuan dynasty, and it was quite powerful.

4. To win the jaxa war against Russia, score points and finalize the Treaty of Nebuchadnezzar to cede a large number of territories, which is a serious negative score. If you win the battle, you will lose money to send the land. Do you win if you lose? I don't understand.
5. The so-called prosperous time of Kangxi may also be the beautification product of P-picture. Otherwise, how could foreign missionaries explain the decline and poverty of the Qing Dynasty from the media at that time? At that time, there was no professional smearing powder for 30 years.
6. The implementation of the national policy of the sea ban and the Daxing literary inquisition derailed the Qing Dynasty from the world and fell behind Europe and Japan in an all-round way, which opened the prelude to modern tragedy.
Qing officials negotiated with Russia.
In a word, although Kangxi was a great monarch with the limitations of the times, his evaluation by history was a bit too high.
He started the prosperous time of Kanggan. China is a powerful country with a large population and a vast territory. He captured Ao Bai, Pingsan Francisco, incorporated Taiwan Province Province, retreated to Russia and destroyed Grdan. Everything is remarkable, which is hard to find in the peaceful and prosperous times of dynasties, because he was not the founding emperor. Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang and Judy are powerful, but they are not good at economy. The rule of Zhenguan and the prosperity of Yongle are all boasted. There are only a handful of prosperous emperors who have reached the level of Kangxi by force. In history, emperors in prosperous times have achieved the same reputation as Kangxi. Only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Kangxi's grandson Gan Long, these three people. Later, the martial arts of the two were slightly inferior to Kangxi, and they were also more frugal than the other two, so Kangxi was said to be the best emperor in the history of the Chinese empire!

Objectively speaking. Kangxi's merits and demerits are considerable.
It is a fatal mistake to establish a political system far behind the Ming Dynasty and imprison China people's thoughts! Manchu nobles were mainly responsible for the backwardness of China in modern times.
