Chapter 204 A Fool's Dream



Furthermore, Emperor Yongzheng had been emperor for over ten years longer than in the world he had traveled to before.

His imperial ambitions are now even more unfathomable.

Thinking of this, Ituma Shushu couldn't help but secretly rejoice that "Dawn Mall" had put "Potential Pills" on the shelves.

Otherwise, in a feudal dynasty where imperial power was so highly centralized, and in an era where women in the harem were so strictly controlled...

For a mere concubine in the imperial harem to try and interfere in the selection of the next emperor is simply a pipe dream.

Only an emperor like Emperor Yongzheng would pave the way for Hongzhao.

Only then could Hongzhao ascend the throne peacefully and securely.

Ituma Shushu suddenly remembered that Abahai, the primary consort of Nurhaci, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, had arrived.

She was forced to commit suicide; she was only thirty-seven years old when she was forced to do so!

Most importantly, the Grand Consort Abahai had three sons.

The thirteenth son of Nurhaci, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was Prince Ying, Ajige; the fourteenth son was Prince Rui, Dorgon; and the fifteenth son was Prince Yu, Dodo.

At that time, Ajige was twenty-two years old, Dorgon was fifteen, and Dodo was thirteen.

As for the reason why the Grand Consort Abahai was forced to be buried alive with the emperor, it is said to be related to the struggle for the next throne.

Ituma Shushu suddenly shuddered at the thought, realizing that she had been too naive.

Even if Emperor Yongzheng truly favored Hongzhao as his next emperor.

You might end up being framed and die of some kind of illness yourself.

Well, at least Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, the birth mother of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, had the entire Khorchin Mongol tribe as her backing.

And her own family wasn't powerful enough, so she really had no support.

Ituma Shushu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, I managed to extend Emperor Yongzheng's life.

Emperor Yongzheng, that big boss, was indeed the most reliable.

Otherwise, "Chenxi Mall" won't be able to save itself in the end.

Hongzhao was already intelligent, and later he took the "Potential Pill".

Emperor Yongzheng had always been aware of Hongzhao's performance over the years.

In addition, over the past ten years or so, Emperor Yongzheng's understanding of the three princes before him has been gradually increasing.

Therefore, when Emperor Yongzheng chose Lady Niohuru as Hongzhao's primary consort, he was probably paving the way for Hongzhao's future.

Although he was unaware of it, Emperor Yongzheng had now adopted Hongxuan out to inherit the title of Prince Guo.

It does serve a purpose, but seeing the "Dawn Mall" display reveals that this step also has a deeper meaning.

...

Sure enough, the next day, Emperor Yongzheng issued an imperial edict ordering the Ninth Prince Hongxuan to be adopted by the Seventeenth Prince Guo as his heir and to inherit the title of Prince Guo.

In an instant, the entire court and the inner palace were abuzz with discussion.

The residence of the Third Prince Hongshi.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has decreed that the Ninth Prince will inherit the title of Prince Guo."

Upon hearing this, Third Prince Hongshi breathed a sigh of relief.

He said, "I understand. You may leave now."

"Yes, this servant takes his leave."

Next, the Third Prince Hongshi fell into deep thought.

I had previously received news that my father would adopt one of his brothers to inherit my seventeenth uncle's title.

It is said that the sixth son, Hongzhou, is the most likely to be adopted.

However, since it's all just hearsay, it's possible it's not true.

Therefore, I was once worried that I would be the one to be adopted out in the end!

Unexpectedly, it was the ninth son, Hongxuan, who was ultimately adopted out.

Why is that?

...

In the residence of the Fifth Prince Hongli.

"Your Highness, I never expected that the Emperor would not choose the Sixth Prince, but instead chose the Ninth Prince."

However, as far as this servant knows, hasn't His Majesty always doted on the younger princes?

Prince Guo's title is quite different from Prince Zhuang's.

Was the title of Prince Zhuang, which the Sixteenth Prince inherited, a hereditary title?

Fifth Prince Hongli frowned and said, "Normally, Father Emperor would not choose the Ninth Prince for adoption."

I just don't know why Father Emperor changed his mind.

"Your Highness, could it be that the Emperor has some expectations for the Sixth Prince, and that's why he was reluctant to adopt him in the end?"

Fifth Prince Hongli's brow twitched slightly, and he said, "Perhaps it's because the grandsons of the three princes before us all have them."

Father probably felt that adopting any of us would be too much trouble.

So they simply adopted the ninth child.

After all, the ninth prince hasn't married yet, so the adoption process wouldn't be so complicated.

“What Your Highness says is true. It’s indeed unnecessary to go through so much trouble to adopt the Ninth Prince, who hasn’t married yet.”

At this moment, Fifth Prince Hongli thought of Third Prince Hongshi and said, "It seems that my third brother has been quite depressed ever since Consort Qi passed away."

"Yes, Your Highness."

When the Third Prince was serving in the government, he took leave many times.

Many people say that since Consort Qi passed away...

The Third Prince is no longer as diligent in his duties as before.

Fifth Prince Hongli nodded, and then said again, "I think Third Brother is much more composed now."

He calmed down and acted less impulsively than before.

Nowadays, even the Emperor rarely mentions Third Brother.

I've become much more lenient with him.

"Your Highness, this servant believes that the Emperor is doing this out of consideration for the late Consort Qi."

After all, back when she was still a prince, Consort Qi was very favored.

However, Consort Qi has now passed away.

Moreover, of her three sons and one daughter, only the Third Prince is still alive.

It's quite normal that the Emperor, remembering their past relationship, is much more lenient towards the current Third Prince.
