The moment Emperor Kangxi collapsed, coughing up blood, everyone inside and outside the palace who received the news had the same thought: "Finally, the day they've been waiting for has come."
What did we finally get to see? Of course, it was the time when the old emperor abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne.
To be honest, back then, which prince didn't have some ulterior motives?
But after these years of inhuman torture, no one can really endure it anymore.
Now, among Kangxi's sons, there are hardly any left who he can find to work.
Therefore, Yin Yi's outstanding qualities were clearly laid bare.
Instead of continuing to recuperate, Yin Yi, whose leg was not fully healed, was busy running around taking care of things.
Even though the other princes were filled with envy and jealousy, they restrained their desire to harm Yinyi.
There was no other way; Yinyi was practically their only son, and they couldn't afford to have anything happen to him. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty they had worked so hard to maintain might have to be replaced.
"Tsk, the third brother is really lucky. Why don't we brothers have such an opportunity?"
The deposed Crown Prince Yinreng, who was imprisoned, was not allowed to see outsiders on ordinary days. However, with Emperor Kangxi in a coma, this was a special situation. The eldest prince, Yinti, actually dared to use Consort Hui's abilities to sneak in and find Yinreng.
Looking at his eldest brother, who had been his constant rival since childhood, Yinreng remarked on the good fortune of his third brother, Yinyi.
Upon hearing this, Yinti snorted, picked up the already full wine cup, and drank it down in one gulp.
"What do you mean we brothers are unlucky? It's just that we brothers are less skilled than others."
From the very beginning, Father Emperor had no intention of relinquishing power; the third prince barely survived to the end.
Yinti was depressed, not because he couldn't accept Yinyi's ascension to the throne, but because he didn't know if the new emperor, Yinyi, would release him and give him a second chance for the mistakes he had made earlier.
He's fine on his own, but his children are a different story.
If he continues to be imprisoned without any power or status, his only remaining daughters will also die young.
The Qing Dynasty's ruthlessness towards Mongolia in earlier years had already been noticed by the Mongolians.
Most of the princesses and noblewomen who married into Mongolia for political alliances did not live long.
Yinti had to admit that he wasn't a good father, but he didn't want to be a useless person who didn't help at all, since they were still his own flesh and blood.
Yinti's worries were clear to Yinreng, after all, the two had been fighting for so many years and knew each other very well.
"Don't worry, the third brother isn't that kind of person. He's kind and fair. If he really does succeed the third brother, we might still have a peaceful end."
As for the others, it's hard to say, because the third brother is different from the others.
When Yinreng was the crown prince, he was always very sensitive to these kinds of emotions.
This is why he was so happy when he heard that Yinzhen had been tricked by his own mother.
In hindsight, Yinzhen realized that he was really petty. If this man were to rise to power, none of his brothers who had fought against him would have a good ending. It would be better to hope that the third prince would rise to power. Even if they did not gain much power, they would still be wealthy and idle.
Yinti, unusually, did not refute Yinreng's rambling words.
"You're right. Now that Father Emperor is in a coma, my third brother has been in charge of overseeing the country."
I only hope that Heaven will have mercy on Father Emperor's health and that he can wait until everything settles down.
Yinti didn't really want his father, the emperor, to die. After all, having an emperor as one's father and having an emperor as one's brother are two different feelings and expectations.
But compared to the situation where brothers kill each other and wish each other dead while their own father is in power, it is more reassuring for brothers to take the throne.
They're all getting on in years; who can keep bouncing around in the previous dynasty for much longer?
In any case, Yinti hoped that the third prince, Yinyi, would take the throne, and Yinreng shared the same idea.
The two former sworn enemies had a drink together and quickly reached an agreement.
Despite being dismissed or imprisoned, they still have connections in the imperial court.
Since everyone is satisfied with the third prince, Yin Yi, taking the throne, what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and promote him!
Before Yin Yi knew what was going on, he heard the court officials recommending a new emperor, arguing that since the emperor was currently unconscious, the country could not be without a ruler for a day, and someone had to take the throne to keep the demons and monsters on the surrounding borders in check.
Yin Yi: ……
The reasoning behind his statement was indeed impeccable, but why him?
It's worth noting that many of the righteous ministers here are actually connected to their brothers.
Yin Yi scratched his head, not understanding the reason, but everyone else was keenly aware that only if Yin Yi ascended to the throne would they have a chance to survive in the future; otherwise, they would most likely end up in a miserable state of being imprisoned for life.
They're all married men with children, and nobody wants their kids to suffer with them. So what are we waiting for? Let the third brother/third brother take over!
Yin Yi rose to power in this way, and the process was unbelievably smooth.
He ascended the dragon throne he had longed for for many years in a way that everyone was happy to see.
Not only was Yin Yi dumbfounded, but even Xiu Ning in the harem was shocked.
Is this some kind of unbelievable plot twist? She almost thought she would have to die together with Emperor Kangxi.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Kangxi, in a fit of rage, vomited blood and fell into a coma, allowing Yin Yi to seize the opportunity and ascend the throne.
Well, it's surprisingly heartwarming.
Upon receiving the news, Xiu Ning immediately contacted the system in her mind, "Have I completed my mission?"
This is the key to her coming into this world; Xiuning can forget anything but her mission.
The system responded quickly, "Yes, the host's task has been completed. Once the investiture is finished, the host can choose to leave at any time."
