During one of his reforms, Yinreng had a dream.
In his dream, he met a man.
He was puzzled, but soon he met the man's gaze.
What shocked him was that the man looked exactly like him, only he looked a bit old.
Yes, the jade pendant I'm playing with is the one my father gave me.
Yinreng instinctively observed his surroundings.
The place was quiet and cramped, and the furnishings were obviously very simple.
Paint-chipped windows, dull and rough tables and chairs, cobweb-covered bed curtains, silver-white hair... and him!
Yinreng was somewhat incredulous and clenched his fist.
Suddenly, he realized that the person was staring blankly at him.
Suddenly she started crying and laughing at the same time.
She curled up on the tatami mat, crying her eyes out, then suddenly burst into laughter.
The few palace servants outside seemed to take it all in stride, not even glancing in that direction.
Yinreng felt a complex mix of emotions.
He knew it was him, yet it wasn't him.
"Who are you? Yinreng?" he asked first.
The person on the bed suddenly looked up, their face covered in dirt.
"It wasn't a hallucination?!"
The person on the bed suddenly lunged at Yinreng.
As Yinreng reached out to help.
The man passed right through his body.
The two people stood back to back, staring blankly ahead, their expressions involuntarily frozen in shock.
"Ha, indeed, my life was a tragedy created by Father Emperor himself!"
The old, disheveled man shouted himself hoarse.
"..." Yinreng opened his lips, but said nothing.
He felt a chill run down his spine from the sudden influx of unfamiliar memories.
Yinreng seemed to be a ghost, following another version of himself.
He watched as another version of himself gradually grew into the person his father, the Emperor, had hoped for.
But as he grew up, he also discovered that his father, the emperor, who had been eagerly anticipating a successor, had begun to feel fear.
They feared the power he gave them, and they feared his youth and vigor.
Fear of growing old, fear of losing imperial power.
Thus, Suo'etu and Mingzhu initially checked and balanced each other.
One day, they suddenly became part of the Crown Prince's faction and the First Prince's faction.
With his current level of understanding, he could tell at a glance that this was a situation intentionally created by his father.
Yinreng frowned slightly as he observed everything.
The calm won't last much longer.
As expected, the younger brothers grew up, and the Emperor deliberately indulged them.
Every now and then, the prince would be shown both favoritism and reprimand.
The younger brothers' ambitions grew bigger every day.
He was actually crippled!
Yinreng found it hard to believe.
He couldn't accept that the emperor of this world had become like that.
After all, he had been an emperor, and he understood all too well the influence of power on people's hearts.
The difference is that he wasn't as reluctant to give up power; in his heart, the country was important, but his family was even more important.
Otherwise, why would Hong-Yao take on so many responsibilities at such a young age?
He never imagined that the person who loved him so dearly would one day depose him for the sake of power.
She was just resentful that he hadn't shown the concern she hoped for.
How could he not be worried? He took care of everything: the servants, the imperial physicians, and the medicine.
However, his father, the emperor, thought he was unfilial and did not weep.
Yinreng suddenly chuckled.
He found it all laughable!
Rather than saying that the Emperor felt he was unfilial, it would be more accurate to say that the Emperor now viewed him as an enemy.
They are enemies who want to take away his power.
So, if you have preconceived notions, whatever he does will be wrong.
Yinreng felt a surge of sarcasm in his heart, and unsurprisingly, he saw the incredulous expression on the arrogant and unrestrained crown prince's face.
Perhaps he felt the same way!
He watched helplessly as the man, who was always so measured in his actions, saw his inner peace crumble.
He gradually went insane!
You can't live without being obsessed!
Yinreng was troubled. What he didn't want to admit was that if his father, the Emperor, hadn't suddenly died of an illness.
Therefore, his result is estimated to be not much different!
Looking at the drunken Crown Prince, he couldn't help but think of his father's passing.
No, why did they develop differently?
He carefully processed the vast amount of information he received in that instant and made an astonishing discovery.
Ferdinand Verbiest devised a plan, and the Emperor punished Dai Zi.
Sure enough, these blond-haired bastards haven't given up their evil intentions! Yinreng thought to himself with resentment.
Without Dai Zi, how could he have so easily defeated Galdan and conquered the world?
At that time, the blueprints that Ferdinand Verbiest stole will become a gun aimed at his Qing Dynasty.
Yinreng made up his mind. The other side of the ocean, huh!
And the fork in the road is right there.
The Emperor survived a calamity by using medicine from foreigners.
In his world, once his father dealt with the foreigners, he had no chance of survival.
But why did the Emperor deal with the foreigners?
Yinreng's eyes widened suddenly.
Yes, and Yingheng also prepared a handkerchief for him.
He now realized how much trouble that handkerchief had saved him.
Given the Emperor's petty nature, it's hard to guarantee he won't remember it and use it as an excuse to dislike him!
However, all of this was nipped in the bud.
Yinreng suddenly smiled.
The foreigners were dealt with because of the outbreak of the letter.
It does exist in this world, but the Emperor didn't take it seriously.
This is enough to prove that the belief that would kill them does not exist in this world.
So, who did this?!
Yinreng had a guess in his mind, and at that moment he desperately wanted to find his wife.
It's not about proving anything.
