Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

No one knew what Kangxi said to the Fourth Prince, but he looked unhappy when he left.

Afterwards, Kangxi called Yinyi over again and said something to him, but no one knew. When he came out, he didn’t look very good either.

Then, Yinyi went to An Ning.

"Mother, Concubine De was involved in poisoning you. The Emperor said that he would not pursue the case for the sake of my fourth and fourteenth brothers. For the rest of her life, Concubine De will never have a chance to come out again. I am unwilling to accept this."

An Ning and Yin Yi have a very good relationship as mother and son. In Yin Yi's opinion, since De Fei did this, she should bear the consequences. However, Kangxi did not allow him to do anything to De Fei, which made him very angry.

Intellectually, Yinyi could understand Kangxi's fatherly love for his two sons, especially since the Fourteenth Prince was still fighting in the war and something had happened to Concubine De, the west might not be stable, but it was impossible for a person to be rational in everything.

An Ning coughed lightly: "Do as your father said. Mother doesn't feel wronged. Concubine De is arrogant. If you deprive her of her freedom and use her life to restrain the Fourteenth Prince, Mother will feel more relieved than killing her. Killing people is not enough. If you want to relieve your anger, you have to poke at someone's weak spot."

Killing Concubine De would bring temporary relief, but sparing her life would maximize benefits.

"My son has learned his lesson! But mother, since Concubine De dared to do such a thing, she must be taught a lesson."

"This mother is here. Mother is sick, not dead. Concubine De has been living a life of luxury these years. I'm afraid she has forgotten the hard days she had in Chengqian Palace. Mother will remind her."

"Just tell someone to do it, mother. Don't let yourself get tired because of Concubine De."

"You are thoughtful. Don't just care about mother. When your father came to see me recently, I found that he was old and often unwell. As the crown prince, you should carefully consider what to do. Mother will not interfere."

Yin Yi was stunned. He had been busy caring about An Ning recently and had not paid much attention to Kangxi.

"Mother is right. When I return, I will go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity."

An Ning then pointedly said: "The person your father loved most in his life was the deposed Crown Prince Yinreng. He was proud of raising so many outstanding princes, and he hoped that his sons would be able to be brothers and sisters and live in harmony."

Yin Yi heard this and seemed to be thinking about something.

An Ning looked at Yin Yi's back as he left. She had already given all the necessary reminders, and at this final critical moment, she would not allow any mistakes to happen.

Kangxi felt increasingly unwell and had insufficient energy to handle memorials. Once, he simply fell asleep, which scared Liang Jiugong half to death.

Despite the huge reward, the Imperial Medical Bureau did not find a good prescription to cure An Ning. Well, she was not poisoned at all, but her pulse just changed. How could there be a good prescription to cure her?

As for why Kangxi felt unwell, it is unclear why, because he was really poisoned by a secret medicine that An Ning specially prepared for him.

Considering that Kangxi had been good to her for so many years, An Ning would naturally not let Yinyi bear the embarrassing situation of his mother killing his father. The secret medicine was not very poisonous and would only make people lack energy.

Of course, if an old man who is retired and lacks energy does not live long, then it is not An Ning’s fault, it is a natural death.

An Ning kept him from illness and disaster for so many years, and also trained him an excellent heir. The battle for the throne among the nine princes did not develop to an irreversible point. She felt that Kangxi should be very grateful to her.

In the 61st year of Kangxi's reign, Yinyi often went in and out of the Qianqing Palace, and the handwriting on the memorials changed from Kangxi's to Yinyi's.

Kangxi finally "surrendered". He finally realized that he could no longer continue to helm a dynasty. Yinyi did a good job. Although some of his ideas were not in line with his benevolent rule, he knew that Yinyi's approach was good for the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, Yinyi valued his brothers and also used Yinreng's sons, so Kangxi decided to let go no matter how unwilling he was.

In the spring of that year, Kangxi issued an edict to confer the title of empress on An Ning, and then abdicated, with Crown Prince Yinyi succeeding to the throne.

After the familiar three refusal and three declines, Yin Yi stepped up to the highest position step by step.

Kangxi moved directly to Changchun Garden and moved his harem there as well. Fortunately, Changchun Garden was large enough and more comfortable than the palace.

Yin Yi named the reign title Qiyuan, and officially began his life as emperor.

Kangxi may have really thought it through, cultivated his character, occasionally listened to important court affairs, and resolutely refused to influence Yinyi's decision.

After Yinyi became emperor, he took great actions. He wanted to crack down on corrupt officials, but most of those corrupt officials were probably related to Kangxi. In order for Kangxi to spend his later years in peace, the first thing Yinyi did was to reorganize the Eight Banners.

When An Ning left, she didn't tell Yin Yi what he had to do. She just gave him some Western books and asked him to read. After reading them, Yin Yi fell silent.

He was well-educated and had a long-term vision, so he saw the key to this immediately. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. What should he do? If he opened the door, would he become a sinner of the Aisin-Gioro family?

Of course, Yin Yi could foresee that the Aisin-Gioro regime would inevitably die miserably in the future.

"Mother, please teach your son."

"I only have one thing to tell you: reform from top to bottom, revolution from bottom to top, no matter how you do it or how you choose, I will support you."

Yin Yi was silent for a while: "I understand, mother, please go to Changchun Garden to take care of yourself. I will go to pay my respects to you after I finish the things at hand."

An Ning was not very power-hungry. When Yin Yi began to carry out drastic reforms in the court, whenever he encountered some difficult things, An Ning would arrange for people to accomplish some achievements.

For example, cowpox.

The emperor implemented policies, but his court officials disagreed. At this time, the smallpox problem that had plagued the Manchus for many years was solved. Who could still say that the emperor's decision was not good?

Whether it works or not, we have to implement it first. As for whether it can work, it depends on the tug-of-war between Yin Yi and the court officials.

An Ning gave all his properties to Yin Yi. The amount was so huge that Yin Yi was shocked. This money did not need to be put into the national treasury and was enough for him to do many things.

In the third year of Qiyuan, Kangxi passed away.

Starting from this year, Yinyi promoted reforms in an all-round way. He promoted the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince...

Later, he also pulled out those imprisoned princes and used them. There were really not enough of them, so he was willing to give them a chance. For the sake of future generations, they were naturally willing to be Yinyi's pawns.

Whenever some policies that "violate ancestral rules" were implemented, An Ning would come up with some great achievements to endorse her son.

The custom of foot binding for women was completely abolished, and female households were allowed to exist and women were allowed to have private property.

When it was implemented, the Han officials in the court opposed it fiercely and almost banged their heads against the pillars, but it was useless. Subsequently, An Ning invented honeycomb coal and improved the kang. That winter, the number of people who froze to death was reduced by 50%.

Then he promoted newspapers and put public opinion in the hands of the emperor. With the military power in Yinyi's hands, he was naturally invincible.

Tax reform will be the responsibility of the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince, and they will not show favoritism in this regard.

An Ning's health gradually improved after Kangxi's death, and Liang Jiugong went with Kangxi.

Today's Qing Dynasty has changed a lot under the intentional or unintentional influence of An Ning. Industrial reform has been promoted, people have finally seen the power of science and technology, and the imperial examination reform has followed.

When power is no longer a constraint on women, the improvement of their status is inevitable, and then women began to appear in the court.

……

When An Ning died, the Qing Dynasty had already changed.

New ideas began to emerge, Yin Yi opened the country's doors and saw the world. When domestic conflicts were at their most severe, he transferred the conflicts to foreign countries, expanded the interests, and the domestic ideological germination was very smooth.

She didn't know what the future of the Qing Dynasty would be like. Once the mind was enlightened, it would be unstoppable. The future of China would definitely not experience that century of humiliation again.

In this life, peace and contentment are achieved!

Even though she became the queen mother and did not have the freedom to leave whenever she wanted, she gave freedom and hope to many people.
