In the eighth year of the Kangxi reign, Oboi held immense power at court and was even plotting to depose the emperor and take the throne for himself. That same year, a huge rock fell from the sky, throwing the entire capital into turmoil and giving rise to all kinds of rumors.
Oboi used the rock as an excuse to spread rumors and set a trap, luring Kangxi into viewing it... so he could kill the emperor with his own hands.
