Manage episode 428735786 series 29114
With border disputes and foreign affair emergencies levelling off, the Kangxi Emperor is able to turn his attentions inward toward the domestic, the home and hearth. But it's not all bbqs and pickleball there, either - there's the questions of succession, for one... who will be next when Kangxi is no more? And an heir there is... but... does something seem a little *off* about the crown-prince??
Time Period Covered:
~1660-1722 CE
Major Historical Figures:
The Kangxi Emperor (Xuanye) [r. 1661-1722]
Yunreng, Heir-apparent [1674-1725]
Prime Minister Songgotu [1636-1703]
