What impressed him most was, firstly, the evaluations given to each emperor of the Qing Dynasty by later generations! In his later years, he actually became obsessed with elixirs?

Secondly: that unfilial son! He was ambitious, extravagant, and stubborn!

Thirdly, the Manchus, despite their elaborate schemes, managed to keep out the Han Chinese, but failed to guard against the white people and those Ryukyu Island scum!

Fortunately, he still made it in time!

This book had a profound psychological impact on him; it was the first time he had ever looked at things from a different perspective.

He didn't know if this was guidance from Buddha through his devout worship or something else; he only knew that there was plenty of time, and time would prove whether the book was right or wrong.

If that is the case, he will not allow his people to suffer the same calamity!

He'll wipe out the entire island before it's even started!

Sherry thought that any normal person would be stirred up by those things.

Therefore, she hoped he would be determined to change! Otherwise, she wouldn't mind letting him die without an heir! Let her own son try!

After Sherry figured it out, she felt relieved and was happy every day, listening to folk artists perform ventriloquism and shadow puppetry, which she found quite interesting.

Yinzhen was clinging to Xue Li so much that he suddenly felt incredibly lonely!

In fact, if it weren't for the allure of the throne and the tragic fate that followed, he might have truly felt the urge to convert to Buddhism.

Sherry found him very contradictory.

"Holy monk, may I share this worldly splendor with you, little lady?" Shirley's eyes suddenly lit up, and she stared intently at him.

It's because he's becoming more and more like a Buddhist monk, and he often has Buddhist prayer beads in his hands.

If it weren't for his ravenous nature at night, she would have really thought he preferred vegetarian food.

"Hehehe, oh? Does Her Majesty the Queen like this humble monk?!" Yinzhen's eyes were full of laughter.

"Brother, do you really not like me? This is a rare and beautiful night, so please give in to me." Shirley's clothes were half undone, and the undulating mountains and swirling mist were vaguely visible.

"I am a highly virtuous monk, how could I do such a thing?" Yinzhen's lips were full of smiles, but his eyes were tightly closed.

"You say you've transcended all worldly desires, yet why do you keep your eyes tightly shut? If you opened your eyes and looked at me, I wouldn't believe your eyes were empty. You dare not open your eyes to look at me, yet you speak of transcending all worldly desires?" Sherry was extremely excited, her expression one of delight, but her tone was one of sorrow and lamentation.

Yinzhen was so amused by her that he couldn't help but hug and kiss her repeatedly.

"I will relinquish my royal power and wealth, while you uphold your precepts and rules." In the middle of the night, Shirley, in the guise of a drama queen, half-lying on Yinzhen, recited the words earnestly, her eyes filled with tender affection and reluctance.

You can feel the vibration coming from your chest.

Looking into her eyes, Yinzhen felt a pang of tenderness in his heart.

He flipped over, grabbed the person, and plundered them like a madman.

Sherry, smelling the masculine scent in his breath: I'm not finished acting yet~

A hundred beauties bloom in spring, their souls are thrown into turmoil; before the three peaks, even bones melt away.

Love surpasses the Chu Dynasty's Yunmeng, joy exceeds the traces of ice and dew at dawn.

After that, the two seemed to develop a strange hobby: Shirley would sometimes play the role of a vixen, sometimes a wet nurse, or sometimes a dashing young man.

Yinzhen was definitely a repressed pervert; he was completely infatuated.

Looking into her eyes, according to Tongzi, they were practically dripping with saliva!

Yinzhen was cold and aloof outside, but his eyes softened drastically when he looked at Xue Li.

The wheels of history keep turning.

In the 47th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1708), when the princes accompanied the emperor on an inspection tour beyond the Great Wall, the 18th prince suddenly fell seriously ill. The emperor was extremely anxious, but the crown prince remained indifferent and showed no concern whatsoever.

After all, the crown prince's son was older than his younger brother, and he had never spent any time with him, so how could he have any feelings for him?

He was so fed up with all his younger brothers!

As a result, Emperor Kangxi believed that he had no brotherly affection and was very dissatisfied with his performance.

The crown prince didn't think he had done anything wrong afterward, and in a fit of anger, he took it out on his servants!

Given Kangxi's controlling nature towards the crown prince, this matter inevitably reached him.

In addition, the incident of the night watchman in the tent occurred during the journey, leading Kangxi to suspect that the crown prince was spying on him outside his tent and plotting to kill him and seize the throne!

The Crown Prince often boasted that no one in the world could be a Crown Prince for forty years. The implication was that he felt Kangxi had lived too long and delayed his ascension to the throne.

That's true; the older an emperor gets, the less he wants to relinquish power. Didn't that drive his once-beloved concubine to the brink of insanity?

Emperor Kangxi believed that the Crown Prince was spying on the Emperor with ulterior motives.

Therefore, Crown Prince Yinreng was deposed for "disobeying ancestral virtues, disobeying imperial instructions, indulging in evil and cruelty, and being violent and licentious."

Upon hearing this news, the eldest prince, Yinzhi, felt that his opportunity had come, and he reported the various crimes of the crown prince to Emperor Kangxi.

He then told Emperor Kangxi that he was willing to kill the deposed crown prince for him.

This greatly displeased Emperor Kangxi, who secretly wanted to punish him by deposing the crown prince.

The Crown Prince was raised and personally educated by Emperor Kangxi, who placed great hopes on him. How could he bear to kill him?

Later, the third prince, Yinzhi, followed the same tactic and accused the eldest prince of using witchcraft to murder the crown prince. Kangxi was furious and imprisoned him.

Emperor Kangxi disliked Yinzhi's collusion with Yinti and imprisoned him, but later released him.

Knowing that he had no hope of seizing the throne, the eldest prince, Yinzhi, turned his support to the eighth prince, Yinsi.

He recommended Zhang Mingde to Emperor Kangxi, saying, "The diviner Zhang Mingde once predicted that Yinzhi would become very powerful."

These words not only failed to earn the Eighth Prince points, but instead made Kangxi believe that he coveted the throne.

Meanwhile, the court officials urged Kangxi to quickly establish another crown prince. So Kangxi asked the officials to recommend one, intending to reinstate Crown Prince Yinreng. However, the officials all recommended the eighth prince Yinsi. Kangxi believed that Yinsi was trying to form a clique for personal gain and subsequently imprisoned him. However, Kangxi was not completely disappointed in him.

In March of the 48th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1709), in order to quell the dispute over the succession, the Kangxi Emperor restored Yinreng to the position of Crown Prince.
