On November 16th, Emperor Kangxi sent officials to offer sacrifices to Heaven, the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and the Altar of the Land and Grain in preparation for the removal of the Crown Prince.

Soon, Emperor Kangxi fell ill and was bedridden.

News spread from the Qianqing Palace that Emperor Kangxi dreamt of the deceased Empress Xiaocheng and the Empress Dowager.

Sherry was puzzled when she received the message, and her spiritual senses scanned the Kunning Palace.

Then you can see the spirit of Empress Xiaocheng angrily cursing Emperor Kangxi!

Sherry pretended not to see it and loosened the original restriction.

Emperor Kangxi suffered from nightmares every day and could not sleep peacefully.

Finally, a group of monks, Taoist priests, and shamans arrived at the palace.

They were setting up formations, singing and dancing, and chanting scriptures...

Kangxi stopped dreaming, but his health deteriorated day by day.

He set his sights on Yinzhen and Yinzhen.

Yinzhen was hardworking and ruthless.

Yinzhen was born into a noble family and appeared to have a gentle temperament, but in reality, he was a ruthless killer.

Fortunately, both children had a kind heart towards the people.

The fourth prince seemed to have sensed Kangxi's meaning, and the way he looked at Yinzhen was quite intriguing.

In secret, they made many plans.

Emperor Kangxi summoned his grandsons to the palace.

Because Shirley had arranged for people to be in the Prince's mansion, Yinzhen's backyard was relatively peaceful.

Sherry has only one rule: let them fight it out, but it can't involve their offspring!

Therefore, Yinzhen already had four sons and three princesses at a very young age.

In contrast, the fourth son appears to have few children.

Kangxi said nothing and dealt with state affairs with his fourth son and Yinzhen.

In the 49th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1710), the Kangxi Emperor summoned members of the imperial family and his ministers.

The throne was passed to the eleventh prince, Yinzhen.

By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:

I, by the mandate of Heaven, have diligently served day and night since ascending the throne, taking it upon myself to secure the nation and bring prosperity to all people. Now that I have reigned for many years, I deeply feel the fleeting nature of time and the inevitability of defying the Mandate of Heaven. Among the imperial family of our dynasty, there is the eleventh prince, Yinzhen, of noble birth, exceptionally intelligent from a young age, proficient in both literature and martial arts, and possessing both talent and virtue. He is an auspicious omen for our Great Qing Dynasty, a true pillar of the nation, and a cornerstone of the state.

This son is kind-hearted, sincere, humble, and courteous, and has won my heart. He is capable of governing the country with civil virtues and suppressing rebellions with military prowess, making him fully capable of shouldering great responsibilities. I hereby issue this decree to the world, passing the throne to this son, hoping that he will inherit the great lineage, work diligently to govern, and ensure the eternal stability of our dynasty and the peaceful and prosperous lives of our people.

Now that this decree has been issued, all princes, ministers, civil and military officials, and all people of the realm shall abide by this decree, work together with one heart and one mind to assist the new monarch, and jointly create a prosperous era. So be it!

August 20th, the 49th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign

Kangxi erected]

The fourth brother was filled with resentment and helplessness; his background was his Achilles' heel.

Moreover, after more than a year of testing his teachings, Emperor Kangxi preferred the method used by the eleventh.

Just like Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty.

She appears gentle and docile, yet she accomplishes all the necessary tasks, while others bear the bad reputation.

The fourth brother had wanted to give him a good beating more than once.

I just wanted to see if his feigned expression would change.

However, his ascension to the throne on the eleventh day of the month shouldn't be so unacceptable to him.

After all, Eleven is gentle, but she's different from Eight.

The Eighth Prince was generous with other people's money, and he would fawn over some low-ranking officials as long as it was beneficial to him.

In his eyes, the Eighth Prince "appears innocent on the outside but is cunning and treacherous on the inside. He harbors selfish motives and manipulates things whenever possible."

The Eleventh Day is different. They smile gently and kindly, but they can trick people without them even knowing who did it. The more innocent their smile, the darker their heart.

Moreover, since childhood, Eleven has always been someone who takes advantage of others. If someone tries to take advantage of him, he always has ways to make them cry and beg for forgiveness, without ever getting himself into trouble!

Yes, she looks just like a pure and innocent white lotus flower.

Yinzhen: Bah! He doesn't deserve it!

Yinzhen's face remained expressionless, but inwardly he was cursing.

What he envied was that Eleven had so many outstanding sons.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen knelt down with genuine sincerity.

Yinzhen remained calm, after all, why get his hands dirty if he could gain benefits without bloodshed?

Although he did consider assassinating the emperor and seizing the throne, that was a last resort.

After all, his sister had provided him with weapons and ammunition.

His elder brother also miraculously gifted him some power, probably because he saw no hope for himself and wanted to try his luck by joining the new regime.

Not to mention the Crown Prince's second brother, who was the closest to both of them among all his brothers and sisters, so Yinzhen was very relaxed.

He could even crack a few jokes when facing Emperor Kangxi.

He killed without a trace, all while smiling; Kangxi felt both delighted and conflicted. Thankfully, it was his own son; otherwise, such an opponent would have been utterly disgusting!

In comparison, Yinzhen, whose temper was unpredictable, was even less favored by Kangxi.

Two days later, Emperor Kangxi died, and Yinzhen ascended the throne.

The reign title He Ning means "harmony and peace" and "peace and tranquility" respectively, implying a harmonious and peaceful country and a stable and prosperous society.

Thus, Yinzhen began to busy himself with his brothers and nephews.

Before leaving, Emperor Kangxi did one good thing: he sent his close male friends out of the palace.

At this moment, Consort Niohuru lowered her stance and asked Shirley to take charge of the overall situation.

Sherry was still planning where to go when she received this news.

Finally, the Empress was summoned, and Consort Niohuru and the former Crown Princess were asked to handle palace affairs together.

The three people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Sherry waved and returned to her bedchamber.

Honestly, she's already climbed the pyramids and she's still doing all that work?

Sherry doesn't interfere in matters; both the Noble Consort Niohuru and the former Crown Princess have their own plans.

Assisting the Empress in handling palace affairs!

The new emperor filled his entourage to the brim, with the main idea being that he, the emperor, would oversee the busy work of the virtuous and capable people he had personally promoted!

Commonly known as: supervisor!
