During so many years of fighting in the south and north, he also forged a very deep friendship between master and servant, and was loyal to both the Qing Dynasty and Huang Taiji. Later, after the emperor shunzhi took office, he thought Ao Bai was a very loyal person, so he also paid special attention to him. Perhaps it is for this reason that he thinks he is a veteran of the three dynasties, and naturally he will be a little arrogant. As we all know, people who have been arrogant throughout the ages have generally come to no good end and will naturally be targeted.
His appeal is too great, which is a stumbling block to Kangxi's personal rule, so Kangxi must get rid of him. But after all, he is a great hero and a veteran of the three dynasties. He once made so many contributions to the Qing royal family. If you kill him directly at this time, it will definitely make the people in the court feel very chilling. A person who has made so many contributions can be killed at will. How dare you work under such a person?
More importantly, although Ao Bai said that he was in power for some time, he was not a traitor. He influenced the pro-government of Emperor Kangxi, but he didn't want to rebel. So although Kangxi wanted to kill Ao Bai very much, he could never kill him, but he could only save his life. Moreover, such an approach can not only reflect the authority of the royal family, but also reflect Kangxi's measured side. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he also lamented Ao Bai's achievements and restored his title.
