The legend of Kangxi's traveling incognito is widely circulated among the people. Because Emperor Kangxi visited the south six times, Mongolia three times, and traveled to Shenyang many times, and he lived in Changchun Garden near Beijing in his early years, and later he often lived in the summer resort of Jehol, giving the impression that he rarely lived in the capital and always walked among the people.

As a result, all kinds of rumors have mushroomed, and the plot is tortuous and moving, and the listener is almost fascinated. Some people say that he secretly took the exam held in the capital as his son and got a good ranking. Some people say that in order to investigate unsolved cases, Emperor Kangxi deliberately ventured into prison, experienced life with prisoners and fought gangsters. Others said that he fell in love with a prostitute, which led to many exciting and interesting stories?

The question is, do you believe that Emperor Kangxi will travel incognito?

The emperor's private visit incognito is far less simple than that in TV series. The so-called white arowana suit is prone to problems. The status and power of the emperor in feudal society are beyond people's understanding now. Once something goes wrong, it will be a big deal. Kangxi can naturally weigh the pros and cons and know what can and can't be done.

Every time Emperor Kangxi made a southern tour and an eastern tour, he left detailed records. He can't and can't visit anonymously.

More convincingly, Kangxi himself was extremely opposed to traveling incognito. He once personally told Zuodu Yushi Xu that "a gentleman must be a governor, that is, a governor." If I walk outside, who doesn't know Since ancient times, the emperor has been afraid of cheating and has been saying it in his outer ear. Scholars think it is true, and it is also recorded in history. "

Kangxi, as an emperor who advocated Confucianism in China all his life and made in-depth research on ritual culture, took Taoist masters as the criterion in his words and deeds. If it is not really necessary, it is almost impossible for him to be called a bad king by future generations.
