The '''Kangxi Emperor''' (4 May 1654((nbsp))– 20 December 1722), also known by his [[temple name]] '''Emperor Shengzu of Qing''', personal name '''Xuanye''', was the third [[List of emperors of the Qing dynasty|emperor of the Qing dynasty]], and the second Qing emperor to rule over [[China proper]], reigning from 1661 to 1722. His reign of 61 years makes him the longest-reigning emperor in [[Chinese history]] and one of the [[List of longest-reigning monarchs|longest-reigning rulers in history]].<ref>((cite web |title=Emperor Kangxi - The Emperor Who Reigned for the Longest Period in Chinese History |url=http://history.cultural-china.com/en/46History211.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130321061019/http://history.cultural-china.com/en/46History211.html |archive-date=21 March 2013 |access-date=21 March 2013 |publisher=Cultural China))</ref> He is considered one of China's greatest emperors.<ref>((cite book |title=Great lives from history |publisher=Salem Press |year=2006 |isbn=978-1-58765-222-6 |editor-last1=Magill |editor-first1=Frank N. |edition=First |location=Pasadena, CA |editor-last2=Taylor |editor-first2=Larissa Juliet))</ref>

The third son of the [[Shunzhi Emperor]], Kangxi was enthroned at the age of seven while actual power was held for six more years by the [[Four Regents of the Kangxi Emperor|Four Regents]] nominated by his father.<ref>((cite web |title= NOVEMBER 9, 2018 BY - The Kangxi Emperor |date = 9 November 2018 |url = https://blogs.cuit.columbia.edu/ajw2203/2018/11/09/the-kangxi-emperor/ |publisher=Columbia University ))</ref> After assuming personal rule, Kangxi's attempt to revoke the fiefdoms of feudal princes sparked the [[Revolt of the Three Feudatories]], which he suppressed. He also forced the [[Kingdom of Tungning]] in Taiwan and [[Qing dynasty in Inner Asia|Mongols]] in the north and northwest to submit to Qing rule, and [[Chinese expedition to Tibet (1720)|launched an expedition]] that incorporated Tibet into the empire. Domestically, he initially welcomed the [[Jesuits]] and the propagation of [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] in China, but tolerance came to an end as a result of the [[Chinese Rites controversy]]. Later in his reign, Kangxi became embroiled in a prolonged succession dispute. He died in 1722 at the age of 68 and was succeeded by his fourth son, who assumed the throne as the [[Yongzheng Emperor]].

The Kangxi Emperor's reign brought about long-term stability and relative wealth after years of war and chaos. He initiated the period known as the [[High Qing era]] (or the "Prosperous Era of Kangxi and Qianlong"),((sfnb|Rowe|2009 | p= 63)) which lasted for several generations after his death. His court also accomplished such literary feats as the compilation of the ''[[Kangxi Dictionary]]'', the ''[[Complete Tang Poems]]'' poetry anthology, and the ''[[Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China]]''.

==Early reign==
Born on 4 May 1654 to the [[Shunzhi Emperor]] and [[Empress Xiaokangzhang]] in Jingren Palace, the [[Forbidden City]], [[Beijing]], the Kangxi Emperor was originally given the Chinese name '''Xuanye''' (((zh|t=玄燁|c=|s=|p=Xuanye)); [[Transliterations of Manchu|Manchu transliteration]]: ''hiowan yei''). He was [[Enthronement|enthroned]] at the age of seven (or eight by [[East Asian age reckoning]]), on 7 February 1661.((efn|Note that Xuanye was born in May 1654, and was therefore less than seven years old at the time. Both ((harvnb|Spence|2002)) and ((harvnb|Oxnam|1975)) (p. 1) nonetheless claim that he was "seven years old." ((harvnb|Dennerline|2002)) (p. 119) and ((harvnb|Rawski|1998)) (p. 99) indicate that he was "not yet seven years old." Following [[East Asian age reckoning]], Chinese documents concerning the succession say that Xuanye was eight [[East Asian age reckoning#Chinese|sui]] (((harvnb|Oxnam|1975|p=62))).)) However, his [[Chinese era name|era name]] "Kangxi", only started to be used on 18((nbsp))February 1662, the first day of the following lunar year.

Sinologist [[Herbert Giles]], drawing on contemporary sources, described the Kangxi Emperor as "fairly tall and well proportioned, he loved all manly exercises, and devoted three months annually to hunting. Large bright eyes lighted up his face, which was pitted with [[smallpox]]."((sfn|Giles|1912|p=40))

[[File:Young Kangxi.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Portrait of the young Kangxi Emperor in court dress]]

Before the Kangxi Emperor came to the throne, [[Empress Xiaozhuangwen|Grand Empress Dowager Zhaosheng]] (in the name of [[Shunzhi Emperor]]) had appointed the powerful men [[Sonin (regent)|Sonin]], [[Suksaha]], [[Ebilun]], and [[Oboi]] as [[regent]]s. Sonin died after his granddaughter became [[Empress Xiaochengren]], leaving Suksaha at odds with Oboi in politics. In a fierce power struggle, Oboi had Suksaha put to death and seized absolute power as sole regent. The Kangxi Emperor and the rest of the imperial court acquiesced to this arrangement.

In the spring of 1662, the regents ordered a [[Great Clearance]] in southern China that evacuated the entire population from the seacoast to counter a resistance movement started by [[Ming dynasty|Ming]] loyalists under the leadership of Taiwan-based Ming general [[Zheng Chenggong]], also titled [[Koxinga]].

In 1669, the Kangxi Emperor had Oboi arrested with the help of his grandmother [[Empress Xiaozhuangwen|Grand Empress Dowager Zhaosheng]], who had raised him.<ref name="Bennet Peterson 328">((cite book |last = Peterson |first = Bennet |title = Notable Women of China |page = 328 ))</ref> and began taking personal control of the empire. He listed three issues of concern: flood control of the [[Yellow River]]; repair of the [[Grand Canal (China)|Grand Canal]]; the [[Revolt of the Three Feudatories]] in south China. The Grand Empress Dowager influenced him greatly and he took care of her himself in the months leading up to her death in 1688.<ref name="Bennet Peterson 328" />

Kangxi's relatives from the Han Chinese Banner Tong 佟 clan of [[Fushun]] in [[Liaoning]] falsely claimed to be related to the [[Jurchen people|Jurchen]] Manchu [[Tunggiya]] 佟佳 clan of [[Jilin]], using this false claim to get themselves transferred to a Manchu banner in the reign of Kangxi emperor.<ref>((cite journal |last1=Crossley |first1=Pamela |title=restricted access The Tong in Two Worlds: Cultural Identities in Liaodong and Nurgan during the 13th-17th centuries |journal=Ch'ing-shih Wen-t'i |date=June 1983 |volume=4 |issue=9 |pages=21–46 |url=https://muse.jhu.edu/article/398599/summary |publisher=Johns Hopkins University Press))</ref>

==Military achievements==
((See also|Qing dynasty in Inner Asia))

===Army===
[[File:Kangxiemperorib8.jpg|thumb|The Emperor mounted on his horse and guarded by his [[Imperial Guards Brigade|bodyguards]]]]

[[File:Armoured Kangxi Emperor.jpg|thumb|Armoured Kangxi Emperor]]
[[File:Kangxi-Jagd.jpg|thumb|The Kangxi Emperor in ceremonial armor, armed with bow and arrows, and surrounded by bodyguards.]]

The main army of the Qing Empire, the [[Eight Banners]] Army, was in decline under the Kangxi Emperor. It was smaller than it had been at its peak under [[Hong Taiji]] and in the early reign of the [[Shunzhi Emperor]]; however, it was larger than in the [[Yongzheng Emperor|Yongzheng]] and [[Qianlong Emperor|Qianlong]] emperors' reigns. In addition, the [[Green Standard Army]] was still powerful with generals such as Tuhai, Fei Yanggu, Zhang Yong, Zhou Peigong, [[Shi Lang]], Mu Zhan, Shun Shike and Wang Jingbao.((citation needed|date=January 2015))

The main reason for this decline was a change in system between the Kangxi and Qianlong emperors' reigns. The Kangxi Emperor continued using the traditional military system implemented by his predecessors, which was more efficient and stricter. According to the system, a commander who returned from a battle alone (with all his men dead) would be put to death, and likewise for a foot soldier. This was meant to motivate both commanders and soldiers alike to fight valiantly in war because there was no benefit for the sole survivor in a battle.((citation needed|date=January 2015))

By the Qianlong Emperor's reign, military commanders had become lax and the training of the army was deemed less important as compared to during the previous emperors' reigns.

===Revolt of the Three Feudatories===
((main|Revolt of the Three Feudatories))
After the Qing takeover of China in 1644, large parts of the south and west were given as [[fiefs]] to three Ming generals who aided the Qing; in 1673 the three feudatories were controlled by [[Wu Sangui]], [[Geng Jingzhong]], and [[Shang Zhixin]]. Going against the advice of most of his advisors, Kangxi attempted to force the feudal princes to give up their lands and retire to Manchuria, sparking a rebellion that lasted eight years. For years afterwards Kangxi ruminated on his mistakes and blamed himself in part for the loss of life during the revolt.<ref>((Cite book|last=Spence|first=Jonathan D.|title=Emperor of China: Self-portrait of Kʻang-hsi|year=1974|isbn=0-679-72074-X|edition=Vintage books|location=New York|pages=xvi-xvii, 36–38|oclc=18931977))</ref>

Wu Sangui's forces overran most of southwest China and he tried to ally himself with local generals such as [[Wang Fuchen]]. The Kangxi Emperor employed generals including [[Zhou Peigong]] and [[Tuhai]] to suppress the rebellion, and also granted clemency to common people caught up in the war. He intended to personally lead the armies to crush the rebels but his subjects advised him against it. The Kangxi Emperor used mainly Han Chinese [[Green Standard Army]] soldiers to crush the rebels while the Manchu Banners took a backseat. The revolt ended with victory for Qing forces in 1681.

===Taiwan===
((main|Qing conquest of Taiwan))

In 1683, the naval forces of the Ming loyalists on [[Taiwan Island|Taiwan]]—organized under the [[Zheng dynasty]] as the [[Kingdom of Tungning]]—were [[Battle of Penghu|defeated off Penghu]] by 300-odd ships under the [[Imperial Chinese Navy|Qing admiral]] [[Shi Lang]]. [[Koxinga]]'s grandson [[Zheng Keshuang]] surrendered Tungning a few days later and Taiwan became part of the Qing Empire. Zheng Keshuang moved to Beijing, joined the [[Qing nobility]] as the "Duke Haicheng" (((lang|zh-hant|海澄公))), and was inducted into the [[Eight Banners]] as a member of the [[Han Chinese|Han]] [[Plain Red Banner]]. His soldiers—including the rattan-shield troops (((lang|zh-hant|藤牌營)), ''tengpaiying'')—were similarly entered into the Eight Banners, notably serving [[Sino-Russian border conflicts|against Russian Cossacks at Albazin]].

A score of Ming princes had joined the Zheng dynasty on Taiwan, including Prince [[Zhu Shugui]] of Ningjing and Prince Honghuan ([[w:zh:朱弘桓|朱弘桓]]), the son of [[Zhu Yihai]]. The Qing sent most of the 17 Ming princes still living on Taiwan back to mainland China, where they spent the rest of their lives.<ref>Manthorpe 2008, [https://books.google.com/books?id=p3D6a7bK_t0C&pg=PA108 p. 108].</ref> The Prince of Ningjing and his five concubines, however, committed suicide rather than submit to capture. Their palace was used as Shi Lang's headquarters in 1683, but he [[memorial to the throne|memorialized]] the emperor to convert it into a [[Mazu temple]] as a propaganda measure in quieting remaining resistance on Taiwan. The emperor approved its dedication as the [[Grand Matsu Temple]] the next year and, honoring the goddess [[Lin Moniang|Mazu]] for her supposed assistance during the Qing invasion, promoted her to "Empress of Heaven" (((Lang|zh-hant|天后)) ''Tianhou'') from her previous status as a "heavenly consort" (((Lang|zh-hant|天妃)) ''Tianfei'').<ref name=tcg>((citation |contribution=Tainan Grand Matsu Temple |contribution-url=https://tainancity.wordpress.com/2009/12/28/tainan-grand-matsu-temple-da-tienhou-gong/ |url=https://tainancity.wordpress.com/ |title=Tainan City Guide |publisher=Word Press |date=2009 |last=Bergman |first=Karl |location=Tainan )).</ref><ref name=ctown>((citation |contribution=Tainan Grand Matsu Temple |contribution-url=http://www.chinatownology.com/Tainan_Grand_Matsu_temple.html |url=http://www.chinatownology.com/ |title=Chinatownology |date=2015 )).</ref> [[Mazuism|Belief in Mazu]] remains so widespread on Taiwan that her annual celebrations can gather hundreds of thousands of people; she is sometimes even [[syncretization|syncretized]] with [[Guanyin]] and the [[Virgin Mary]].

The end of the rebel stronghold and capture of the Ming princes allowed the Kangxi Emperor to relax the [[Sea Ban]] and permit resettlement of the [[Fujian]] and [[Guangdong]] coasts. The financial and other incentives to new settlers particularly drew the [[Hakka people|Hakka]], who would have [[Punti-Hakka Clan Wars#Background|continuous low-level conflict]] with the returning [[Punti people]] for the next few centuries.

===Russia===
((main|Sino-Russian border conflicts))

[[File:Kangxi Emperor 1686.jpg|thumb|upright|Kangxi Emperor at 32 (from [[Louis le Comte|le Comte]]'s ''Nouveaux Memoires'', 1696)]]

In the 1650s, the Qing Empire engaged the [[Tsardom of Russia]] in a series of [[Sino-Russian border conflicts|border conflicts]] along the [[Amur River]] region, which concluded with the Qing gaining control of the area after the [[Albazino#The History of Albazin|Siege of Albazin]].

The Russians invaded the northern frontier again in the 1680s. A series of battles and negotiations culminated in the [[Treaty of Nerchinsk]] of 1689, by which a border was agreed between Russia and China.

===Mongolia===
The Inner Mongolian [[Chahars|Chahar]] leader [[Ligdan Khan]], a descendant of Genghis Khan, opposed and fought against the Qing until he died of [[smallpox]] in 1634. Thereafter, the Inner Mongols under his son [[Ejei Khan]] surrendered to the Qing and he was given the title of Prince (Qin Wang, 親王). The Inner Mongolian nobility now became closely tied to the Qing royal family and intermarried with them extensively. Ejei Khan died in 1661 and was succeeded by his brother Abunai. After Abunai showed disaffection with Manchu Qing rule, he was placed under house arrest in 1669 in [[Shenyang]] and the Kangxi Emperor gave his title to his son Borni.

Abunai bided his time then, with his brother Lubuzung, revolted against the Qing in 1675 during the [[Revolt of the Three Feudatories]], with 3,000 Chahar Mongol followers joining in on the revolt. The revolt was put down within two months, the Qing defeating the rebels in battle on 20 April 1675, killing Abunai and all his followers. Their title was abolished, all Chahar Mongol royal males were executed even if they were born to Manchu Qing princesses, and all Chahar Mongol royal females were sold into slavery except the Manchu Qing princesses. The Chahar Mongols were then put under the direct control of the Qing Emperor unlike the other Inner Mongol leagues which maintained their autonomy.

[[File:The Emperor at the Kherlen river.jpg|thumb|Emperor Kangxi's camp on [[Kerulen]] during the campaign of 1696.]]

The Outer [[Khalkha Mongols]] had preserved their independence, and only paid tribute to the Qing Empire. However, a conflict between the houses of Jasagtu Khan and Tösheetü Khan led to a dispute between the Khalkha and the [[Dzungar Khanate|Dzungars]] over the influence of [[Tibetan Buddhism]]. In 1688, the Dzungar chief, [[Galdan Boshugtu Khan]], attacked the Khalkha from the west and invaded their territory. The Khalkha royal families and the first [[Jebtsundamba Khutuktu]] crossed the [[Gobi Desert]] and sought help from the Qing Empire in return for submission to Qing authority. In 1690, the Dzungars and Qing forces clashed at the [[Battle of Ulan Butung]] in [[Inner Mongolia]], in which the Qing eventually emerged as the victor.

In 1696 and 1697 the Kangxi Emperor personally led campaigns against the Dzungars in the early [[Dzungar–Qing War]].<ref>Spence 1974, p. xv.</ref> The western section of the Qing army defeated Galdan's forces at the [[Battle of Jao Modo]] and Galdan died in the following year.

===Manchu Hoifan and Ula rebellion against the Qing===
[[File:Kangxi Emperor.jpg|thumb|upright|The Kangxi Emperor at the age of 45, painted in 1699]]

In 1700, some 20,000 Qiqihar [[Xibe people|Xibe]] were resettled in [[Guisui]], modern [[Inner Mongolia]], and 36,000 Songyuan Xibe were resettled in [[Shenyang]], [[Liaoning]]. The relocation of the Xibe from Qiqihar is believed by Liliya M. Gorelova to be linked to the Qing's annihilation of the Manchu clan Hoifan (Hoifa) in 1697 and the Manchu tribe Ula in 1703 after they rebelled against the Qing; both Hoifan and Ula were wiped out.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=KHwPAAAAYAAJ&q=ceased+exist+rebellions Gorelova 2002], p. 36.</ref>

===Tibet===
In 1701, the Kangxi Emperor ordered the reconquest of [[Kangding]] and other border towns in western [[Sichuan]] that had been taken by the Tibetans. The Manchu forces [[Battle of Dartsedo|stormed Dartsedo]] and secured the border with Tibet and the lucrative [[Tea Horse Road|tea-horse trade]].

The Tibetan ''desi'' (regent) [[Sangye Gyatso]] concealed the death of the [[5th Dalai Lama]] in 1682, and only informed the emperor in 1697. He moreover kept relations with Dzungar enemies of the Qing. All this evoked the great displeasure of the Kangxi Emperor. Eventually Sangye Gyatso was toppled and killed by the [[Khoshut]] ruler [[Lha-bzang Khan]] in 1705. As a reward for ridding him of his old enemy the [[Dalai Lama]], the Kangxi Emperor appointed Lha-bzang Khan Regent of Tibet (((zh|s=|p=Yìfǎ Gōngshùn Hán|l=Buddhism Respecting, Deferential Khan|labels=no|c=|t=翊法恭順汗))).((sfn|Cordier|Pelliot|1922|page=33)) The [[Dzungar Khanate]], a confederation of [[Oirats|Oirat]] tribes based in parts of what is now [[Xinjiang]], continued to threaten the Qing Empire and invaded [[Tibet]] in 1717. They took control of [[Lhasa]] with a 6,000 strong army and killed Lha-bzang Khan. The Dzungars held on to the city for three years and at the [[Battle of the Salween River]] defeated a Qing army sent to the region in 1718. The Qing did not take control of Lhasa until 1720, when the Kangxi Emperor [[Chinese expedition to Tibet (1720)|sent a larger expedition force there]] to defeat the Dzungars.

===Muslims===
The Kangxi Emperor incited anti-Muslim sentiment among the Mongols of [[Qinghai]] (Kokonor) in order to gain support against the [[Dzungar people|Dzungar]] [[Oirats|Oirat]] Mongol leader [[Galdan]]. Kangxi claimed that Chinese Muslims inside China such as [[Salar people|Turkic Muslims in Qinghai]] were plotting with [[Galdan]], who he falsely claimed converted to Islam. Kangxi falsely claimed that Galdan had spurned and turned his back on Buddhism and the Dalai Lama and that he was plotting to install a Muslim as ruler of China after invading it in a conspiracy with Chinese Muslims.

[[File:The Kangxi Emperor's Last Will and Testament.jpg|thumb|left|The Kangxi Emperor's Last Will and Testament]]
The reasons for the declining trend in the later years of the Kangxi Emperor's reign were a huge expenditure on military campaigns and an increase in corruption. To fix the problem, the Kangxi Emperor gave Prince Yong (the future [[Yongzheng Emperor]]) advice <!-- What advice? --> on how to make the economy more efficient.

==Cultural achievements==
[[File:Early Kangxi vase.jpg|thumb|upright|A vase from the early Kangxi period ([[Guimet Museum]])]]

During his reign, the Kangxi Emperor ordered the compilation of a dictionary of [[Chinese character]]s, which became known as the [[Kangxi Dictionary]]. This was seen as an attempt by the emperor to gain support from the [[Han Chinese]] [[scholar-bureaucrats]], as many of them initially refused to serve him and remained loyal to the [[Ming dynasty]]. However, by persuading the scholars to work on the dictionary without asking them to formally serve the Qing imperial court, the Kangxi Emperor led them to gradually taking on greater responsibilities until they were assuming the duties of state officials.

In 1700, on the Kangxi Emperor's order, the compilation of a vast encyclopedia known as the [[Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China]] (completed during the reign of his successor [[Yongzheng Emperor|Yongzheng]]), and a compilation of [[Tang poetry]], the [[Complete Tang Poems]].

The Kangxi Emperor also was interested in Western technology and wanted to import them to China. This was done through [[Jesuit China missions|Jesuit missionaries]], such as [[Ferdinand Verbiest]], whom the Kangxi Emperor frequently summoned for meetings, or [[Karel Slavíček]], who made the first precise map of [[Beijing]] on the emperor's order.

From 1711 to 1723, [[Matteo Ripa]], an [[Italian people|Italian]] priest sent to China by the [[Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples]], worked as a painter and copper-engraver at the Qing court. In 1723, he returned to [[Naples]] from China with four young Chinese Christians, in order to groom them to become priests and send them back to China as missionaries. This marked the beginning of the Collegio dei Cinesi, sanctioned by [[Pope Clement XII]] to help the evangelization of [[Christianity]] in China. This Chinese Institute was the first school of [[Sinology]] in [[Europe]], which would later develop to become the Istituto Orientale and the present day [[Naples Eastern University]].

The Kangxi Emperor was also the first Chinese emperor to play a western musical instrument. [[Thomas Pereira]] taught him how to play the harpsichord,<ref>Spence 1974, p. 73.</ref> and he employed [[Karel Slavíček]] as court musician. Slavíček was playing [[Spinet]]; later the emperor would play on it himself. China's famed blue and white porcelain probably reached its zenith during the Kangxi Emperor's reign.

In the early decades of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, [[Society of Jesus|Jesuit]]s played a large role in the imperial court. With their knowledge of [[astronomy]], they ran the imperial observatory. [[Jean-François Gerbillon]] and [[Thomas Pereira]] served as translators for the negotiations of the [[Treaty of Nerchinsk]].

However, controversy arose over whether Chinese Christians could still take part in traditional [[Confucianism|Confucian]] ceremonies and [[Ancestor veneration in China|ancestor worship]], with the Jesuits arguing for tolerance and the [[Dominican Order|Dominican]]s taking a hard-line against foreign "[[idolatry]]".

A prolonged struggle between various princes emerged during the Kangxi Emperor's reign over who should inherit the throne – the Nine Lords' War (((Lang|zh-hant|九子奪嫡))).

In 1674 the Kangxi Emperor's first spouse, [[Empress Xiaochengren]], died while giving birth to his second surviving son [[Yinreng]], who at the age of two was named [[crown prince]]<ref>Spence 1974, p. 120.</ref> – a [[Han Chinese]] custom, to ensure stability during a time of chaos in the south. Although the Kangxi Emperor left the education of several of his sons to others, he personally oversaw the upbringing of Yinreng, grooming him to be a perfect successor. Yinreng was tutored by the [[Mandarin (bureaucrat)|mandarin]] Wang Shan, who remained devoted to him, and spent the later years of his life trying to persuade the Kangxi Emperor to restore Yinreng as the crown prince.

Yinreng proved to be unworthy of the succession despite his father showing favoritism towards him. He was said to have beaten and killed his subordinates, and was alleged to have had sexual relations with one of his father's concubines, which was deemed [[incest]] and a capital offence. Yinreng also purchased young children from [[Jiangsu]] to satisfy his [[pedophilia]]c pleasure. In addition, Yinreng's supporters, led by [[Songgotu]], gradually formed a "Crown Prince Party" (太子黨), that aimed to help Yinreng get the throne as soon as possible, even if it meant using unlawful methods.

Over the years, the Kangxi Emperor kept constant watch over Yinreng and became aware of his son's many flaws, while their relationship gradually deteriorated. In 1707, the emperor decided that he could no longer tolerate Yinreng's behavior, which he partially mentioned in the imperial edict as "never obeying ancestors' virtues, never obliged to my order, only doing inhumanity and devilry, only showing maliciousness and lust",<ref>[http://news.ifeng.com/history/2/shidian/200903/0313_2666_1060067.shtml original words:不法祖德，不遵朕训，惟肆恶虐众，暴戾淫乱]</ref> and decided to strip Yinreng of his position as crown prince. The Kangxi Emperor placed his oldest surviving son, [[Yinzhi, Prince Zhi|Yinzhi]], in charge of overseeing Yinreng's [[house arrest]]. Yinzhi, an unfavored [[Dishu system|Shu son]], knowing he had no chance of being selected, recommended the eighth prince, Yinsi, and requested his father to order Yinreng's execution. The Kangxi Emperor was enraged and stripped Yinzhi of his titles. The emperor then commanded his subjects to cease debating the succession issue, but despite this and attempts to reduce rumours and speculation as to who the new crown prince might be, the imperial court's daily activities were disrupted. Yinzhi's actions caused the Kangxi Emperor to suspect that Yinreng might have been framed, so he restored Yinreng as crown prince in 1709, with the support of the 4th and 13th princes, and on the excuse that Yinreng had previously acted under the influence of mental illness.

In 1712, during the Kangxi Emperor's last inspection tour of the south, Yinreng, who was put in charge of state affairs during his father's absence, tried to vie for power again with his supporters. He allowed an attempt at forcing the Kangxi Emperor to abdicate when his father returned to [[Beijing]]. However, the emperor received news of the planned [[coup d'etat]], and was so angry that he deposed Yinreng and placed him under house arrest again. After the incident, the emperor announced that he would not appoint any of his sons as crown prince for the remainder of his reign. He stated that he would place his Imperial Valedictory Will inside a box in the [[Palace of Heavenly Purity]], which would only be opened after his death.

Seeing that Yinreng was completely disavowed, Yinsi and some other princes turned to support the 14th prince, Yinti, while the 13th prince supported Yinzhen. They formed the so-called "Eighth Lord Party" (((Lang|zh-hant|八爺黨))) and "Fourth Lord Party" (((Lang|zh-hant|四爺黨))).

==Death and succession==

Following the deposition of the crown prince, the Kangxi Emperor implemented groundbreaking changes in the political landscape. The 13th prince, [[Yinxiang (prince)|Yinxiang]], was placed under [[house arrest]] as well for cooperating with [[Yinreng]]. The eighth prince [[Yunsi|Yinsi]] was stripped of all his titles and only had them restored years later. The 14th prince [[Yunti, Prince Xun|Yinti]], whom many considered to be the most likely candidate to succeed the Kangxi Emperor, was sent on a military campaign during the political conflict. Yinsi, along with the ninth and tenth princes, [[Yuntang|Yintang]] and Yin'e, pledged their support to Yinti.

In the evening of 20 December 1722, just before his death, the Kangxi Emperor called seven of his sons to assemble at his bedside. They were the third, fourth, eighth, ninth, tenth, sixteenth and seventeenth princes. After the Kangxi Emperor died, [[Longkodo]] announced that the emperor had selected the fourth prince, Yinzhen, as the new emperor. Yinzhen ascended to the throne and became known as the [[Yongzheng Emperor]]. The Kangxi Emperor was entombed at the [[Eastern Qing Tombs|Eastern Tombs]] in [[Zunhua]], [[Hebei]].

A legend concerning the Kangxi Emperor's will states that he chose [[Yunti, Prince Xun|Yinti]] as his heir, but Yinzhen forged the will in his own favour. It has, however, long been refuted by serious historians. Yinzhen, later the [[Yongzheng Emperor]], has attracted many rumours, and some novel-like private books claim he did not die of illness but was assassinated by a swordswoman, Lü Siniang (((Lang|zh-hant|呂四娘))), the granddaughter of [[Lü Liuliang]], though this is never treated seriously by scholars.<ref>[http://www.dayoo.com/roll/201009/12/10000307_103496569.htm 吕四娘刺雍正 只是个传说] ((webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20140221143952/http://www.dayoo.com/roll/201009/12/10000307_103496569.htm |date=21 February 2014 ))</ref>

==Personality and achievements==

[[File:Kangxi7.jpeg|thumb|left|upright|Portrait of the old Kangxi Emperor in court dress]]

The Kangxi Emperor was a great consolidator of the [[Qing dynasty]]. The transition from the [[Ming dynasty]] to the Qing was a cataclysm whose central event was the fall of the capital [[Beijing]] to the peasant rebels led by [[Li Zicheng]], then to the [[Manchu]]s in 1644, and the installation of the five-year-old [[Shunzhi Emperor]] on their throne. By 1661, when the Shunzhi Emperor died and was succeeded by the Kangxi Emperor, the Qing conquest of China proper was almost complete. Leading Manchus were already using Chinese institutions and mastering [[Confucianism|Confucian]] ideology, while maintaining Manchu culture among themselves. The Kangxi Emperor completed the conquest, suppressed all significant military threats and revived the central government system inherited from the Ming with important modifications.

The Kangxi Emperor was a workaholic, rising early and retiring late, reading and responding to numerous [[Official Communications of the Chinese Empire#Memorials|memorials]] every day, conferring with his councilors and giving audiences&nbsp;– and this was in normal times; in wartime, he might be reading memorials from the warfront until after midnight or even, as with the [[Zunghar Khanate|Dzungar]] conflict, away on campaign in person.<ref>Finer (1997), pp. 1134–5</ref>

The Kangxi Emperor devised a system of communication that circumvented the [[scholar-bureaucrats]], who had a tendency to usurp the power of the emperor. This [[Official Communications of the Chinese Empire#Memorials|Palace Memorial System]] involved the transfer of secret messages between him and trusted officials in the provinces, where the messages were contained in locked boxes that only he and the official had access to. This started as a system for receiving uncensored extreme-weather reports, which the emperor regarded as divine comments on his rule. However, it soon evolved into a general-purpose secret "news channel." Out of this emerged a [[Grand Council (Qing dynasty)|Grand Council]], which dealt with extraordinary, especially military, events. The council was chaired by the emperor and manned by his more elevated [[Han Chinese]] and Manchu household staff. From this council, the [[Mandarin (bureaucrat)|mandarin]] civil servants were excluded&nbsp;– they were left only with routine administration.<ref>[[Jonathan D. Spence|Spence]], ''[[The Search for Modern China]]'' (2013), pp. 67-68</ref>

The Kangxi Emperor managed to woo the Confucian intelligentsia into co-operating with the Qing government, despite their deep reservations about Manchu rule and loyalty to the Ming. He appealed to this very sense of Confucian values, for instance, by issuing the [[Sacred Edict]] in 1670. He encouraged Confucian learning and made sure that the [[Imperial examinations|civil service examinations]] were held every three years even during times of stress. When some scholars, out of loyalty to the Ming, refused to take the exams, he hit upon the expedient of a special exam to be taken by nomination. He personally sponsored the writing of the [[History of Ming|Ming Official History]], the [[Kangxi Dictionary]], a phrase-dictionary, a vast encyclopedia and an even vaster compilation of [[Chinese literature]]. To promote his image as a "sage ruler," he appointed Manchu and Chinese tutors with whom he studied the Confucian classics and worked intensively on Chinese calligraphy.<ref>Spence, ''The Search for Modern China'' (2013), pp.&nbsp;56-58.</ref>

In the one military campaign in which he actively participated, against the Dzungar Mongols, the Kangxi Emperor showed himself an effective military commander. According to Finer, the emperor's own written reflections allow one to experience "how intimate and caring was his communion with the rank-and-file, how discriminating and yet masterful his relationship with his generals".<ref>Finer (1997), p.&nbsp;1142.</ref>

As a result of the scaling down of hostilities as peace returned to China after the Manchu conquest, and also as a result of the ensuing rapid increase of population, land cultivation and therefore tax revenues based on agriculture, the Kangxi Emperor was able first to make tax remissions, then in 1712 to freeze the [[Land value tax|land tax]] and [[corvée]] altogether, without embarrassing the state treasury (although the dynasty eventually suffered from this fiscal policy).((how|date=April 2020))<ref>Finer (1997), pp.&nbsp;1156–7.</ref>
