Emperor Qianlong maintained the same posture, gazing at the distant lake and mountain scenery.
His chest was filled with resentment and bitterness!
After all, he was like a wooden puppet, confined to a small space.
He can hear and see but cannot move, and his only companions are those familiar faces.
He initially thought nothing of it, until he gradually realized something was wrong.
He had not seen his concubines for a long time.
Even the empress who gave him a second spring in his life.
He strongly expressed his needs!
But the eunuchs and palace maids continued chatting as if no one else was around.
Only his mother understood his helplessness!
But at this point, even his fury was useless.
Until one day, Li Yu pushed him outside to bask in the sun.
There was nothing wrong with it, but then he overheard several servants complaining.
They said he was fat, smelly, and had a pockmarked face; he wouldn't lie still, and his expression was ferocious, and so on.
Enraged, he glared at Li Yu, who then calmly pushed him back after punishing the servants.
He listened to the rapid changes happening outside.
Listening to the people praising the present day.
Listening to those scholars who could only be punished according to his crimes, their words flowed like lotus blossoms, seemingly flattering him.
He was extremely resentful!
Why? Wasn't he great? Wasn't he accomplished great things? Wasn't he more respected?
How many years has the new emperor been on the throne?
Besides, how could he not understand his own son?
That's not an exaggeration!
Because of this, he realized that there was something wrong with the people around him.
Little did they know that even in his secluded paradise, he would be completely isolated from the world.
So what if he is the retired emperor?
In other words, Shirley is kind-hearted and takes good care of him.
In his anger, Emperor Qianlong suspected every day that someone was plotting to harm him.
His mother, on the contrary, saw him every day and stopped thinking about anything else.
On the contrary, her health is still okay!
Emperor Qianlong was so angry every day that he almost collapsed!
A deep sense of resentment, as a former human emperor!
A chance encounter changed the will of the world!
He stood up.
Emperor Qianlong was overjoyed, even though he was already old and frail at this time.
He recalled distant memories and was surprised to find that it was now the fifty-ninth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign (1795).
Emperor Qianlong suddenly realized something was wrong!
Even though he was in a daze every day, he knew that only a few years had passed.
How could 30 years have already passed?!
He was so caught up in his joy that he belatedly noticed the dull pain in his body.
He realized: this body was not his.
He was young but paralyzed!
This body is old, yet free.
He stared blankly at the country he had governed.
It's not that it's bad, it depends on who you compare it to!
At least, he didn't develop those advanced devices.
The people were still cursing the Qing government for its inaction.
There were numerous uprisings among the people.
Not to mention the foreign devils who emptied the national treasury with opium.
Emperor Qianlong was unwilling to accept this. Why?!
Yongqi can do it all, but he will only be stronger than him.
So, filled with fervor, he began a massive overhaul and reform.
It actually saved the precarious Qing Dynasty.
In my spare time, I focus my attention on the people around me.
He suddenly realized!
He doted on Consort Ling for half his life and finally promoted her to Imperial Noble Consort.
That's fine then!
To his surprise, his empress was Huifanara Jingtan.
Her funeral was meager, and no trace of her existence could be found in the entire palace after her death.
Let's get to the root of the problem!
It was all because of the prostitution scandal that occurred in the thirtieth year of Emperor Qianlong's reign!
The difference is that this empress is the one he remembers—seemingly gentle, but actually fierce!
