Quick Transmigration: Start killing from The Legend of Zhen Huan!

"Okay, don't worry unnecessarily."

Li Siqi saw right through him: "We're not the only merchant fleets that actually go to sea."

These are things that can be ignored.

If no one brings it up, nothing will happen.

Furthermore, a caravan that sails to the sea can easily become a caravan that travels along rivers.

Everyone knows how to handle it.

"So that's it."

Yinzhi nodded, accepting the fact with equanimity.

"By the way, you're not young anymore."

Li Siqi waved for the people around her to leave.

When only the mother and child were left, she instructed Xiaohuzi to use the soundproof talisman.

He continued, "After getting married, he also went to court to perform his duties."

Now I'm asking you.

Are you interested in your father's chair?

"Mother, Father Emperor is looking after the Crown Prince, Second Brother."

Yinzhi paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "No matter what, none of us brothers can replace Second Brother's place in his heart."

I believe Father Emperor won't consider us brothers."

"What if he doesn't choose your second brother in the end?"

Li Siqi raised an eyebrow. "You need to know that nothing in this world is absolute."

Anything can happen.

Perhaps your father, the Emperor, will ultimately choose an heir from among you brothers.

"If that's the case, we brothers will definitely start fighting."

Upon hearing about this possible event, Yinzhi showed no excitement whatsoever.

He frowned deeply. "It might be a fight to the death, and in the end, the whole team could be wiped out."

The losers suffer greatly, and the winners also experience a Pyrrhic victory.

Instead, the imperial court will be thrown into chaos.

If that's the case, it would be better to let the second brother take over.

My second brother is a bit arrogant, but he is indeed a capable person.

The heir personally groomed by the Emperor is no less capable than anyone else.

"You're right."

Li Siqi nodded. "If you brothers start causing trouble, the entire Qing Dynasty will become a mess."

It won't be easy for the next emperor to clean up this mess.

Not to mention developing properly and doing practical things for the people.

"It's already a miracle that we can even salvage this mess."

“Mother, since you can see through this.”

Yinzhi looked puzzled. "Father Emperor shouldn't make such a choice."

The Emperor valued the Qing Dynasty more than anyone else.

He couldn't possibly do something to ruin the country himself.

"hehe!"

Li Siqi chuckled twice and didn't say anything more.

He immediately changed the subject, asking, "Are you planning to be a wise and virtuous king in the imperial court?"

Or is he planning to live a life of leisure and wealth after the new emperor ascends the throne?

"Mother, is there a difference?"

Yinzhi looked puzzled. "Or does Mother have other ideas?"

"I'll give you a question, and you'll have to think about it seriously, okay?"

"Mother, please speak!"

"If your father really deposes your second brother and chooses an heir from among you brothers, will you fight for him or not?"

Li Siqi saw him about to speak and interrupted him directly, "Don't tell me this is a hypothetical question."

I now want you to seriously consider this matter.

You must follow your heart.

Make decisions you won't regret.

After all, once you've made a choice, it's too late to regret it later.

"Mother, must your son make a choice?"

Yinzhi paused for a moment, his tone tinged with confusion.

In his view, this situation is highly unlikely to occur.

Even if it happened, he believed his imperial father wouldn't do such a foolish thing.

only……

This issue must be considered.

He hadn't really thought about what impact the brothers' fight would have on him, his mother, and his younger brother.

Yes, you have to make a choice.

Li Siqi glanced at him indifferently, "You should think about it carefully today."

Give me an answer before you leave.

If you don't know the answer yourself, there happens to be a copy of the Records of the Grand Historian in my study.

You can look up the Records of the Grand Historian; perhaps it will give you the answer.

Go! "

"it is good!"

Yinzhi was a little confused; this topic was just too sudden.

His mind is a bit muddled; he definitely needs to calm down.

Only when he calms down can he consider these issues.

After watching him leave.

"Master, what choice will the Eighth Prince make?"

Little Pot couldn't help but ask, "Could he, like the Eighth Prince in history, choose to fight for the throne?"

"uncertain."

Li Siqi responded softly, "He is ambitious, and I can see that."

This ambition stems from his status as an imperial prince.

However, this ambition did not lead him to the idea of ​​seizing the throne at all costs.

Historically, his determination to seize the throne was mainly due to the harm caused by Emperor Kangxi's favoritism.

The original owner's rank in the harem was pitifully low.

He wanted to bring honor to his mother through his own efforts.

Of course, the harsh treatment he received from the Imperial Household Department during his childhood also had a significant impact on him.

None of these exist now.

His ambition was thus restrained by his kindness and principles.

They won't be solely focused on seizing the throne.

"That's true."

Little Pot nodded in agreement, "Master, isn't it too early for you to ask the Eighth Prince to make a choice at this time?"

There are still several years before the crown prince is deposed.

Perhaps in a few years, we'll see just how absurd the Crown Prince's actions are.

He'll have a new idea then.

"I made him make a choice at this time mainly because I didn't want him to choose internal strife."

Li Siqi explained softly, "Since we intend to have the brothers eliminate internal strife and expand outwards, let's prepare him mentally now."

He already knows about our merchant caravan, so we should let him go and pick up these things.

"Since we're deep within the palace, it's more appropriate for him to handle some matters personally."

"Right."

Xiao Huzi agreed, "Kangxi began to be wary of his grown-up son at this time."

While it wasn't as extreme as later on, he was definitely starting to be wary of his sons at this point.

"It's almost time for him to launch his second campaign against Galdan."

Li Siqi said softly, "After he dealt with Galdan, he began to crack down on his sons."

It should be said that he treated these sons as pawns, playing them however he wanted.

I don't want Xiao Ba to waste his energy on a battle of wits with Kangxi.

It would be better to let him slack off in the government while actually letting him worry about things on the island.

When Emperor Kangxi went mad, he simply took away his son, whom he had ruined.

And let's see if Emperor Kangxi will feel sorry for his sons.

"Master's idea is good."

Little Pot said with a chuckle, "Kangxi likes to make things difficult for people, doesn't he?"

We'll see if he can handle this kind of 'torture' then."

"He's an idiot."

Li Siqi showed a look of disgust, "The sons I raised with such difficulty, one by one, have been ruined by him."

He was afraid that his sons would take the chairs from under his bottom one by one.

Why not send these sons out to conquer new territories?

His sons expanded his territory and brought him fame, which was far better than his "benevolent rule" of deliberately allowing corrupt officials to exploit the people and bringing him a reputation as a "benevolent ruler."
