Chapter 259 Crown Princess II 18
Xue Li couldn't say a good word. Looking at the black mass, she thought it was more accurate to say that it was an iron-eating beast.
If I have to praise them...
It's a bit unscrupulous.
But she still kept the manuscripts for them, hoping that they could laugh at them when they grew up!
A system: You are so unscrupulous.
Xue Li: Yes, thanks for the reminder!
Xue Li selected a few of her own sketches and put them together with the children's, focusing on a tragic contrast.
A system: ...
Sydney: Hehehe~

At the same time, the princes were also very well behaved.
After all, although the prince was no longer favored by Kangxi, the new favorite twins were from Yuqing Palace.
But in the summer, Kangxi contracted malaria as happened in history.
This disease was called "cold and heat syndrome" at that time, commonly known as "malaria".
Ancient people were helpless against infectious diseases such as malaria and even believed it was a punishment from God.
The ancient Indians called this highly contagious and lethal disease the "king of diseases" and said that once you got sick, you could only wait to die.
Although it was the height of summer in the capital and people were sweating profusely, Kangxi continued to shiver. His lips turned purple, his eye sockets were sunken, and his whole body was twitching and shaking from time to time.
The emperor's illness is of course a earth-shattering event.
In addition to being busy arranging court officials to handle government affairs, Yinreng was also guarding Kangxi every day.
It’s that familiar handkerchief again!
Yinreng reacted when he couldn't hold back his tears.
But it's too late, I can only cry.
Kangxi was relieved when he saw his son's reaction.
After all, it feels different to be missed by others.
What's more, Yinreng was usually very calm, but now he was crying out of worry and looked ungraceful.
Kangxi looked at Yinreng with extremely loving eyes.
But the imperial doctors were somewhat helpless.
Several old doctors were so anxious that their hair turned white, but they could do nothing.
Those foreigners were dealt with by Kangxi, and no one mentioned quinine anymore.
Kangxi was ill for ten days and his health became visibly weaker.
But he still arranged for someone to give him a strong dose of medicine, and then he looked at his sons one by one while they were lying on the bed.
The children, from oldest to youngest, knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes.
Even Kangxi himself didn't expect that he would die so early!
Galdan has not been completely dealt with yet!
Just seeing Yinreng’s red and swollen eyes made him feel relieved.
Kangxi waved his hand and Liang Jiugong took a step forward.
"【The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims:
Since ancient times, the career of the emperor has been inherited from heaven and earth, and has been passed down forever. Since I ascended the throne, I have worked hard to govern the country and stabilize the people. Now I see that the Crown Prince Yinreng has a good character and extraordinary talents, and he has won my heart. Yinreng has been smart since he was young, and he is eager to learn. He has achieved success in both literature and martial arts. Moreover, he cares about the world and the country and the people. He is indeed a model of a crown prince.
I have decided to pass the throne to Crown Prince Yinreng in accordance with the ancestral rites and laws. Yinreng will inherit the throne from now on, carry forward the past and create a prosperous era. I hope all the officials will work together to assist the new emperor, so as to ensure the safety of the country and the people.
Although I have made some mistakes during my reign, I have also made some achievements. I will now pass the throne to Yinreng, hoping that he can inherit my aspirations, carry forward my achievements, make the country prosperous, and make the people happy. Although I have abdicated, my heart is with the world, and I am willing to pray for the people of the world.
Admire this!
(Written by Emperor Kangxi
July 5, the 32nd year of the Kangxi reign)]
The court officials all took it for granted and accepted it calmly.
At this time, Yinzhi might be unwilling, but he did not accept his incompetence.
After all, the crown prince is the heir to the throne.
Yinreng knelt in front of the bed, crying, tears streaming down his face, and held Kangxi's hand tightly.
Kangxi smiled lovingly and touched his forehead.
"My princes and ministers, listen to my orders. You must work together to create brilliance, assist the new monarch, and protect our country."
"Your sons and ministers obey your orders!" The princes and court officials all bowed their heads in response.
Yinreng felt more and more sad when he saw his father, who had always been as tall and straight as a pine tree, now looked so haggard that he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Kangxi was much more indifferent and was extremely satisfied looking at the crown prince he had carefully cultivated.
Two days later, Kangxi passed away.
After Yinreng ascended the throne, Xue Li became busy again.
The palace maids in the Qianqing Palace who were taking care of the twins continued to look after them and the second child.
Xue Li handles palace affairs, and Concubine Tong assists her.
For several concubines who had children, the spark of passion in their hearts died out before it even started to rise.
After all, at this moment, only the new emperor has a son.
Their sons are either not married yet or have not had children after marriage.
So everyone is behaving themselves.
And headed by the Han ministers, they only recognized one crown prince, that is, the new emperor.
Yinreng ascended the throne smoothly and changed the reign title to Hongtai.
It implies that the country is magnificent and the people are peaceful and prosperous.
After Yinreng ascended the throne, he conferred titles on his brothers one after another.
The eldest brother was Prince Zhi, the third brother was Prince Cheng, Yinzhen, Yinqi, Yinyou and Yinsi were all Durobele.
Yinzhen and Yinzhen were Gushan Beizi.
At the end of the year, Concubine Wang gave birth to a son, and Yinreng named him Yinyu according to the late emperor's wishes.
The harem has been resting for half a year.
The Empress Dowager moved into the Cining Palace, and the Noble Concubine Tong and the Noble Concubine Niu moved into the Shoukang Palace.
Others like Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, and Concubine De could follow their sons out of the palace.
The rest, including the female members of the Yuqing Palace, were temporarily arranged in the West Six Palaces!
As expected, the ministers in the court proposed a beauty contest.
Yinreng refused on the grounds that he was in mourning for the late emperor.
The court officials were helpless.
The first year of Hongtai (1694).
Yinreng held a formal and grand ceremony to crown Xue Li as queen!
The Guarjia clan has become more low-key.
Even Yinreng was a little surprised, but it made him value the Guwaljia clan even more.
Yinreng arranged for imperial examinations, military examinations and technical examinations.
The purpose is to arrange more man-made firearms and cannons.
Promote more talents, after all, he has many ideas for the future.
What’s more, there was Galdan, the person the late emperor was most worried about!
In the same year, the Fujian Shipyard was established in the coastal city of Quanzhou, Fujian. Its main task was to be responsible for shipbuilding and provide logistical support for the navy.
Sichuan Province was officially established, and its territory included the present-day Sichuan, Chongqing, Gansu and other areas.
In this year, war broke out between the Qing Dynasty and Russia and Tsarist Russia in the Altun Mountains area.
It allowed people to witness the power of new firearms for the first time.
Yinreng was pleasantly surprised to hear that his uncle and Yinzhi were discussing strategies to prepare for the march against Galdan.
Zhiheng and Zhiyu were used to staying in the Qianqing Palace, so they stayed there.
Yinreng had no objection and took Zhiheng aside to talk about the national situation.
Just like how Kangxi treated him when he was a child.
Yinreng never experienced the mood swings of Kangxi in this life, and his mind was healthy. He taught his son everything he knew.
He even had no objection to Zhiyu who refused to leave.
And compared to his son, he actually prefers Zhiyu, who is as cute as Xueli.
The emperor and empress currently live in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After all, they have a baby, so it would be a bit inconvenient for them to live in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
