In the TV series, in the fifteenth year of Kangxi, the Yellow River burst its banks and Kangxi was furious. Under the signature of the demand map, the corrupt and incompetent river governor Kuang committed suicide by taking poison.
However, in real history, according to the records in the Draft of Qing History, Kuang was appointed as the river chief in the spring of the tenth year of Kangxi, and it was not until February of the sixteenth year of Kangxi that Kuang was "dismissed for investigation". He may not be competent for river regulation, otherwise the Yellow River will not burst its banks every year, but it is unfounded to say that Kuang is corrupt.
As for when the Yellow River burst its banks, he not only persisted for 17 days, but was also framed by Kuang to enrich himself, which led to his beheading in prison, which was even more false.
