How deep was sourdrang queen's influence on Kangxi?

How deep was sourdrang queen's influence on Kangxi? It can be described in one sentence: without Xiaozhuang, there would be no Emperor Kangxi, who is known as the first emperor throughout the ages. Kangxi was the second emperor after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains. The first emperor was the emperor shunzhi, but the emperor shunzhi died young and Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight. How can eight-year-old Kangxi support such a big Qing Dynasty? So behind Kangxi, Empress Xiao Zhuang was always in charge of state affairs, and Xiao Zhuang was like a town stone, holding back the lawless officials in the DPRK. After Kangxi ascended the throne, sourdrang queen also completed his mission, gradually returning the power of state affairs to Kangxi, and no longer interfering in state affairs. In fact, many people say that Xiaozhuang is actually the emperor of Kangxi, and there are right and wrong.

On the surface, Xiaozhuang really looks like Emperor Kangxi's emperor, but Xiaozhuang doesn't interfere in Kangxi's political affairs at all. After Kangxi acceded to the throne, Xiao Zhuang himself lived in the harem, and sourdrang queen had no right to interfere with Kangxi's orders. At that time, sourdrang dowager and Kangxi disagreed. Kangxi was eager to withdraw from the vassal state and wanted to immediately recall Wu Sangui and other vassal states. However, Xiaozhuang thinks that the vassal king is too powerful to fight now. He should slowly quit the Francisco, cut off the power of the vassal king first, and then quit the Francisco. However, Kangxi was eager to withdraw from the vassal, and did not listen to Xiaozhuang's suggestion and directly ordered the withdrawal of the vassal, which led to the rebellion of the three vassal kings.

After the rebellion of the king of San Francisco, the young Kangxi was utterly confused and didn't know how to fight the enemy. Xiaozhuang then stood up and told the ministers that the idea of withdrawing the vassal was put forward by himself to the emperor, and it was his own meaning, not the emperor's. The emperor was right, but he was wrong. He shouldn't have let the emperor withdraw his vassal and take the initiative to take the fall for Kangxi. Because the authority of the emperor is more important than whether the decision is correct, Xiaozhuang is defending the authority of Kangxi as the emperor.

Therefore, sourdrang queen, like a beacon on the road of Emperor Kangxi, guided Kangxi to become an emperor through the ages.
