Moreover, Yao Qisheng has held all positions in the imperial court, and has had good days, good days and bad days. Yao Qisheng, who is honest and outspoken, will naturally not bow to him, so retiring after success is also a kind of happy leisure.
Because Kangxi has always been divided into Manchu and Han in his heart, although he has nothing to say, he can see it from various performances. Kangxi, in particular, always stood on the side of Manchu nobles.
It is only natural for Manchu people to make contributions and get promoted and get rich, while it is only natural for Han people to be officials and do things well. If they don't do well, they will be convicted and there is no fairness at all. Moreover, Kangxi will also guard against Han people when he uses Han people.
In the later period, Yao Qishen was already an elderly man, and he wanted to make way for future generations. After all, the rise of young people is still very fast. At the beginning, Yao Qisheng would rather go to Sanlihe Racecourse to raise horses than be an official, because he hated evil and didn't like the atmosphere of officialdom. His personality is incompatible with the style of the whole Qing officialdom.
When Kangxi appointed Yao Qisheng to be in charge of all platform affairs, it added difficulties to Yao Qisheng and made his work less smooth. He also acquiesced in Pearl, Suoyutu and others to contain him, and even wanted to dilute his credit. Yao Qisheng was restrained by Manchu, which brought him great trouble in his work.
This is also the reason why Yao Qishen didn't want to be an official in the DPRK. His integrity made him refuse to take sides in court. Therefore, Kangxi will never be fully trusted and reused.
