Chapter 19 Emperor Yongzheng
清世宗爱新觉罗·胤禛(1678年12月13日—1735年10月8日),清朝第五位皇帝(1722年12月27日—1735年10月8日在位),定都北京后第三位皇帝。曾自号破尘居士、圆明主人,年号雍正。康熙帝第四子,母为孝恭仁皇后(即德妃乌雅氏)。
He achieved the final victory in the brutal struggle for the throne among the nine sons. During his thirteen years in power, he worked hard to govern the country. He only slept for two hours a day, cleaned up the mess left by his father, and guarded against those brothers who were dissatisfied. Finally, he died of exhaustion on the dragon case.
Because they were busy fighting for the throne, children were born and died, and finally only a few were left. They were all ugly and ugly, and the tallest among the short ones. Only the fourth child, Hongli, was pleasing to the eye.
He cleared the obstacles for Hongli and enriched the national treasury, allowing Hongli to ascend the throne smoothly.
Even if Hongli was not grateful to him, he should at least respect him. If Hongli felt that his policies were not good, he had no objection to overthrowing them and establishing new ones. After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers.
But for his own selfish reasons, Hongli stepped on him to establish a reputation for being kind and tolerant, which made him want to die.
That would have been fine, but Hongli changed his frugal lifestyle and made six trips to the south of the Yangtze River, which caused a lot of controversy and he spent all the national treasury he had accumulated. The emperors after Qianlong were worse than the last, and the national strength declined with each passing day.
If there were any other choice, he would never choose Hongli, the prodigal son.

When Zhang Shan came over, Hongli and Hongzhou had already been born, and Concubine Nian had just entered the mansion. The first child was not good, and the second child had not yet been born. Zhang Shan was completely confused. What was this making her...
Even though she had traveled through several worlds and been a man several times, she still couldn't accept it.
However, now is the time when the battle for succession is fierce, she has to devote herself to the battle, otherwise she will be killed by someone accidentally and will not be able to complete the mission.
Fortunately, she has the original owner's memories, so she just needs to follow the steps.
In the 51st year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, the crown prince was deposed for the second time, and there was no possibility of success. In order to dispel the old man's vigilance, Zhang Shan lay low and started to grow flowers and vegetables.
In the 54th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Zhang Shan made mental preparations and began to conceive a son.
The child’s biological mother was Guaerjia, the niece of the former Crown Princess.
Ever since Princess Guaerjia became pregnant, the backyard started to get busy. Prince Zhang Shan hadn't been to the backyard for a long time, and everyone else was looking forward to it, especially Niuhuru and Geng, who were young and had children, and were looking forward to getting Zhang Shan's attention.
Niohuru and Geng took turns raising the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince. They visited each other frequently and had a close relationship, forming a faction of their own.
The fight in the backyard 3 is nothing more than children and pampering. As long as Zhang Shan gives nothing and cuts off the source of everything, they won't be able to fight.
Zhang Shan assigned a wet nurse to take care of Guaerjia until the child was born. Before that, she took her sons and daughters to the front yard to be raised.
At this time, Hongli was already five years old and looked very smart. He was indeed much more likable than the fifth child who went crazy from time to time.
Soon, Guaerjia gave birth to the sixth prince, and Zhang Shan named him Hongyan, and registered him under the name of his first wife, Ulanara.
Ulanara injured her body during childbirth and has not had any children in all these years. Her only child, Honghui, died early. If Zhang Shan didn't go to see her, the main courtyard would be like a cold palace, without a trace of life.
Ulanara was also happy and helped to block many plots from inside and outside the mansion, so Hongyan grew up safely.
When Hongyan was five years old, Kangxi suddenly came to Prince Yong's mansion and asked, "How many children are you having?"
Kangxi touched Hongli's head and seeing that Hongli was quite smart, he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
"My dear father, this is your son's fourth son. His name is Hongli."
"Yeah, not bad, he's a good kid."
Kangxi nodded and let Zhang Shan help him into the study. In the study, the sixth son, Hongyan, was practicing calligraphy. Hearing the noise, he immediately jumped off the chair and saluted Kangxi, saying, "Grandson greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
"Which one is this?"
"This is Lao Liu Hongyan."
"He's a good kid, too."
The old man walked around and left without eating. Half a month later, he asked Eunuch Li to bring Hongli and Hongyan into the palace to study with the other imperial grandchildren.
Only then did Zhang Shan realize that the old man not only took away Hongli and Hongyan, but also took away one or two of the children from his other brothers' families.
The old man took his grandsons to his side to teach them. After much selection, he liked the two grandsons from Prince Yong's mansion the most. Hongli was smart and lively, brave and resourceful, and dared to kill a black bear at the age of ten.
Hongyan was proficient in both civil and military affairs at a young age, and his other grandchildren admired him very much, which was something Hongli could not do.
It's just that he is too young and hasn't made up his mind yet.
each has its own Hobby.
On November 69, the st year of the Kangxi reign, Kangxi died in Changchun Garden at the age of .
He left behind a three-letter edict written in Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese, passing the throne to the fourth prince, Yinzhen of the Aisin-Gioro clan. The other brothers questioned the authenticity of the edict, but were suppressed by Zhang Shan with thundering means.
The Defei in the harem would rather be buried alive than become the empress dowager, which made the original owner very embarrassed in the previous life. People also began to spread rumors that the original owner had not obtained the position legitimately, and even his own mother opposed him.
"This is the imperial decree to appoint the Empress Dowager, and this is a cup of poisoned wine. Mother, if you choose the imperial decree, you should be the Empress Dowager and stop thinking about other things. If you choose the poisoned wine, your son will send you to the imperial mausoleum. It just so happens that Khan Ama's mausoleum has not been closed yet."
"You, you, you... you are such an unfilial son. You actually forced your own mother to die. I don't have a son like you."
"It seems that mother doesn't want to choose anything. That's fine. The emperor left a blank imperial edict before, so I took the initiative to change the jade certificate to the name of the emperor mother and become her son again."
"What an injustice! What an injustice!"
Concubine De covered her face and cried bitterly.
Half an hour later, she finally made a choice.
The Queen Mother did not make trouble. After Zhang Shan ascended the throne, she let the Fourteenth Prince continue to lead the troops to war. As soon as the Fourteenth Prince left, the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Princes started to get active.
Especially when Zhang Shan began to lift the maritime ban, attach importance to commerce, and impose heavy commercial taxes, that touched Lao Jiu's bottom line. Lao Jiu took the lead in resistance, and Zhang Shan followed Lao Jiu's line and dealt with them one by one.
The Ninth Brother had lost his momentum, so the good-natured Eighth Brother could only do bad things secretly. Zhang Shan got fed up with him and threw him to the south to deal with him in Liu Che's way.
In the third year of Yongzheng's reign, the previous dynasty was completely stabilized, and Zhang Shan began to train Hongyan.
Hongli was fifteen years old and had reached the age to get married. Zhang Shan gave Huifa Nara to him as his principal wife. As for Fucha, who was favored by Concubine Xi, she was given to Hongzhou. After all, they were both daughters-in-law and it didn't matter who he married.
Hongli did not enter the court until he was 20 years old. Although his methods were immature, there were still many court officials who supported him. After all, the third and fifth sons were not very ambitious, and the sixth son was still young. The ministers felt that Hongli had the most promising future.
In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, Zhang Shan developed health problems due to overwork from getting up early. Fortunately, Hongyan was able to help her handle state affairs, and he did a good job.
So Zhang Shan abdicated the throne to Hong Yan, hid in the Old Summer Palace to recuperate, and stopped caring about state affairs.
As for the fact that Hongli colluded with the Eighth Brother who was far away in the south to rebel and was executed by Hongyan, she was not allowed to come forward.
After Zhang Shan's death, he continued to stay in this world. He did not leave until he saw Hong Yan bring the Qing Dynasty to its peak, the country prospering, and the Haihe River feasting.
