Although she spoke casually, Yongqi was, after all, Qianlong's last reliance and still had some connections.
The father and son knew about Shirley's actions from the beginning! It's just that Qianlong was so angry that he fainted every day, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Yongqi was even more surprised by his mother's audacity.
They're even more outrageous than before he left!
However, the effect is visibly good.
The changes in the Qing Dynasty were immediate.
In fact, the Manchu imperial family was extremely afraid of a Han Chinese counterattack, so they could only do their best to deal with the widespread discontent among the people.
As for whether anyone actually implemented the policy, they didn't have firsthand knowledge of it.
After all, even when the late emperor went to the south, all that people saw along the way was peace and prosperity, with people living in peace and contentment!
So, any uprisings among the people can only be the result of those rebels' lingering evil intentions!
Until he actually took a trip among the people.
Finally, he went abroad and saw that the wilderness his father had described was surprisingly advanced.
He completely overturned our understanding!
Thus began his travels to various countries.
Suffering, war, the plundering of people of all skin colors and races, and of all resources...
His perception gradually changed!
If what Sherry initially told him was to show him how rapidly things were changing outside, then...
Consider how to balance the relationship between Manchus and Han Chinese.
While he was certainly acting out of spite, his decision was primarily driven by safety concerns.
He feared that if he stayed in the capital any longer, he would become the third member of the royal family to become paralyzed!
So even though she was extremely unwilling, she still obeyed and left.
He was even relieved that they were mother and son, so he wouldn't be in too much trouble.
He is well-versed in history!
He realized that his mother was even more ruthless than Emperor Wu!
After all, a soft-hearted person can't be a person in power!
He didn't want to become the second Li Xian.
Li Xian was the second son of Empress Wu Zetian and was made crown prince after Li Hong's death. He was intelligent and studious, and once gathered scholars to annotate the Book of the Later Han Dynasty.
The book's focus on the interference of the empress's relatives in politics was seen by Wu Zetian as a kind of allusion.
Moreover, he gradually built up his own power base while serving as crown prince, which led to conflicts with Wu Zetian's control of power.
He was thus demoted to a commoner and later forced to commit suicide!
Yongqi considered himself to be very sensible.
His inner emotions were actually far greater than what he showed.
As the legitimate son of the Empress, he naturally had many followers.
He knew from the beginning that if he did as few things as possible and made as few mistakes as possible, he could smoothly succeed to the throne.
Of course, he didn't anticipate what would happen next!
The throne was as easy as a piece of cake for him; everything was within his expectations, so he remained indifferent.
But unexpectedly, his mother couldn't sit still!
Of course, he never dared to underestimate women.
However, no matter what, the imperial harem must not interfere in politics!
result……
He is far from his homeland, and the changes he has undergone are considerable.
After several years of experience, he lost the arrogance of a royal prince.
Instead, he exuded a sense of calm!
Sherry was utterly puzzled!
Until the mother and son sat down together for a chat again.
"Do you know why your father was so considerate to me back in Jiangnan? After all, we've been estranged for so many years." Shirley's voice drifted away.
"..." Yongqi's eyes were full of confusion.
"Because he was saved by Yongqi, he intended to make him the crown prince. That's only one reason. Of course, Consort Ling couldn't sit still back then, as she also had a son. Secondly, he wanted to make Consort Ling an imperial consort. The core meaning is to marginalize you and me."
"..." Yongqi was speechless. He knew all too well the threat that the Imperial Noble Consort posed to the Empress.
Moreover, the late emperor had shown great favoritism towards Consort Ling.
Sherry smiled casually: "We've won now, so we're sitting here brewing tea and listening to the rain. But if we had lost, you can imagine what would have happened to us!"
"It can't be that bad!? Father Emperor still has some feelings for you."
"Oh? But what if someone is scheming and sowing discord every day? For example, Consort Ling by his side, or Lady Daijia by your side!" After a long time, Shirley said it as a joke.
Yongqi felt a sense of indescribable unease when he thought of that person.
When Sherry mentioned Dai Jia again, she looked somewhat embarrassed.
"By the way, what triggered you to so obediently offer up the throne?" Sherry glanced at him.
Yongqi smiled calmly: "You want it, and you've done it better than any of us! Besides, it's meaningless."
Sherry was somewhat surprised. What did she mean by "it's meaningless"?
So she listened to Yongqi's detailed explanation, her expression shifting between speechlessness and ferocity.
Yongqi went to the West, where he knew there were many churches.
Only after conducting on-site investigations did he discover that there was far more than he had imagined.
It was only after witnessing the war that he realized this.
Those foreigners were indeed restless.
The essence of missionary work is cultural invasion and the expansion of religious organizations.
Some religious organizations expand their influence and control in local communities by establishing churches, temples, and other institutions in different regions through missionary work.
For example, the missionary activities of the Catholic Church in medieval Europe were related to the consolidation of the Catholic Church's power in the political and economic fields in Europe.
Catholicism also took root in the Qing Dynasty, but its audience was not large.
After all, there was also Tibetan Buddhism, which was promoted by the Qing Dynasty, and the free and unrestrained Taoism and Central Plains Buddhism.
In addition, the land of China has a long history and a profound and diverse culture.
Therefore, the Western approach can only be considered ordinary.
However, its impact overseas is much greater.
They even use religion as an excuse to make it easier to exercise their rights.
Yongqi himself had a deep understanding of Buddhism. Of course, he took various talented people with him when he left.
