About this listen
康熙八岁即位,由顺治遗命,以索尼、苏克萨哈、遏必隆和鳌拜四人为辅臣。其中鳌拜居功自傲,专横跋扈,待老臣索尼病死后,他拉拢遏必隆,处死了不与他合作的苏克萨哈,更是朝政独揽,经常咆哮金殿,强制康熙屈从他的意愿。康熙十四岁亲政,但鳌拜不仅不还政于皇帝,反而结党营私,拉拢死党,图谋弑君自立。康熙自幼聪慧早熟。他一方面秘密拜落第举人、江南才子伍次友为师,勤奋学习历朝皇帝的治国经验;另一方面又以贴身侍卫魏东亭为核心,以习功练武为名,精心挑选、训练了十几名年轻力士,以待时机清除身边隐患。康熙和鳌拜集团经过了几番明明暗暗的较量,矛盾日趋尖锐化、明朗化,你死我活的搏杀已在一触即发之际。鳌拜称病在家,加紧了劫宫弑杀康熙的行动。康熙不动声色,只带魏东亭一人夜访鳌府探视,一则以观动静,二则以稳住鳌拜。康熙八年五月,经过周密的策划和精心安排,康熙在毓庆宫单独召见鳌拜,利用身边侍卫,以迅雷不及掩耳之势,一举擒拘了武艺高强的鳌拜,并将其余党一网打尽。从此,康熙亲执皇权,为振兴清王朝打下了坚实的政治基础。
康熙八歲即位,由順治遺命,以索尼、蘇克薩哈、遏必隆和鰲拜四人為輔臣。其中鰲拜居功自傲,專橫跋扈,待老臣索尼病死後,他拉攏遏必隆,處死了不與他合作的蘇克薩哈,更是朝政獨攬,經常咆哮金殿,強制康熙屈從他的意願。康熙十四歲親政,但鰲拜不僅不還政於皇帝,反而結黨營私,拉攏死黨,圖謀弒君自立。康熙自幼聰慧早熟。他一方面秘密拜落第舉人、江南才子伍次友為師,勤奮學習歷朝皇帝的治國經驗;另一方面又以貼身侍衛魏東亭為核心,以習功練武為名,精心挑選、訓練了十幾名年輕力士,以待時機清除身邊隱患。康熙和鰲拜集團經過了幾番明明暗暗的較量,矛盾日趨尖銳化、明朗化,你死我活的搏殺已在一觸即發之際。鰲拜稱病在家,加緊了劫宮弒殺康熙的行動。康熙不動聲色,只帶魏東亭一人夜訪鰲府探視,一則以觀動靜,二則以穩住鰲拜。康熙八年五月,經過周密的策劃和精心安排,康熙在毓慶宮單獨召見鰲拜,利用身邊侍衛,以迅雷不及掩耳之勢,一舉擒拘了武藝高強的鰲拜,並將其餘黨一網打盡。從此,康熙親執皇權,為振興清王朝打下了堅實的政治基礎。

When Abi shows up on Ms. Ziegler’s doorstep bearing holiday treats, she’s met by the author’s handsome grandson Dov, who reveals a startling plot twist. His grandmother isn’t able to finish the book and Dov promised he’d complete it so fans won’t be disappointed—a task that’s harder than he ever imagined.

And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs.
