Yinzhen: Become the favorite of the group in the Qing Dynasty where the brothers were reborn

On March 19th of the 40th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, a major event occurred for the first time since the founding of the Qing Dynasty - Emperor Kangxi, who ascended the throne at the age of eight and reigned for 40 years, announced his abdication at a court meeting.

Even after the abdication edict was read, the civil and military officials were unable to react.

Yesterday was the emperor's birthday, and today the abdication ceremony was held. Even if the ministers were strong-willed, they could not withstand such stimulation.

Especially, the Emperor... Oh no, the Emperor emeritus moved extremely quickly, as if he had long wanted to give up the throne. As soon as the abdication ceremony was completed, he disappeared, leaving them and the new emperor staring at each other in bewilderment.

He was the Crown Prince just a second ago, and now he has become the new emperor. Standing in front of the dragon throne, Yinxiang felt very speechless.

He was silent, and the ministers below were also silent, as if no one had reacted.

In the end, it was the reliable princes who stepped forward. The princes, dukes, and beiles, headed by Prince Zhi, all came out in unison and shouted loudly: "Long live the emperor!"

Led by the royal family, all the civil and military officials in the court finally came to their senses and bowed in worship: "Long live the emperor!"

The voice resounded through the sky, heralding the succession of imperial power in the Qing Dynasty.

The era of Aisin-Gioro Xuanye has passed, and from now on it will be the era of Aisin-Gioro Yinxiang.

Maybe it was really urgent, or maybe it was because troops would be sent to attack Japan in a few days. Anyway, when everyone was in a daze, the emperor gave an order and the Imperial Observatory gave an auspicious day and time for the new emperor to ascend the throne - March 20th.

As a result, just as the news of the abdication ceremony the day before spread throughout the world, the coronation ceremony the next day was held with great fanfare.

Since this coronation ceremony was held under the arrangement of the retired emperor, everything was different from previous coronation ceremonies.

Not to mention anything else, the main focus is on the whole country celebrating.

The Emperor said: "This is a great event, everyone please be happy!"

However, the new emperor didn't dare let anyone spread this.

Otherwise, he was very worried that his subjects would suspect that there was something wrong with the emperor's brain and that was why he had to abdicate.

——After all, it is really hard to imagine that such crazy words came from the mouth of the retired emperor.

As the new emperor, after ascending the throne, Yinxiang faced the difficult situation of issuing several imperial edicts in one day to solve various problems.

It was not for any other reason, but because the retired emperor who was still in power a while ago made the decision to send troops to attack Japan on March 22nd.

In addition to discussing various matters concerning the war against Japan, Yinxiang was actually faced with two main problems: first, should his brothers change their names to avoid his name? Second, should his brothers and sisters also be given titles.

When the Ministry of Rites wrote a petition to the new emperor asking him to decide whether to change the characters of the princes of the Yin generation, Yinxiang, without a second thought, simply wrote a big "No" on the petition in front of Yinzhen who was in the imperial study at the time.

Facing Yinzhen's puzzled look, Yinxiang grinned and said firmly: "I don't want to change your characters!"

I can change it for my eldest brothers, but not for my fourth brother.

But if he just doesn't let Fourth Brother change his name, given his personality, he will definitely refuse. It would be better not to change anything at all. It just shows the deep brotherly love.

Otherwise, just put all the blame on Khan Ama. If any court officials dare to have any doubts, they can go and talk to the retired emperor.

I believe that Khan Ama will definitely not refuse to take the blame for his filial son, Yinxiang thought thoughtfully.

Yinzhen didn't have any other ideas. It didn't matter to him whether the characters were changed or not. His Thirteenth Brother could do whatever he wanted, and he would always go along with his Thirteenth Brother.

There was just something he wanted to say, "Thirteenth brother, can you tell me what this means?"

Using the name he had always used, Yinzhen slowly pulled out a piece of paper that Yinxiang had stuffed at the bottom and placed it in front of Yinxiang, who was filled with shock and panic.

With his slender fingers tapping the words on the paper, Yinzhen stared at Yinxiang intently, trying to see through his inner thoughts.

Looking at the piece of paper that was clearly hidden at the bottom but was still seen and taken out by his fourth brother, Yinxiang froze and was at a loss.

What should I do? What should I do? ... How come Fourth Brother found out after all?

The more Prince Yong watched the new emperor's brainstorm, the more helpless he became.

"Uh ... that ..."

Yinxiang thought hard and hard but couldn't think of anything to say.

He felt that no matter what he said now, his fourth brother would not listen.

With sweat on his forehead and a chill on his back, Yinxiang even wanted to run away and leave this uncomfortable place.

Yinzhen kept looking at him, and when he saw his eyes rolling around, he knew that this kid must be thinking of making up a lie to fool him.

He snorted in his heart, frowned, and tapped the table with his bent fingers.

The sound was not loud, but it rang in Yinxiang's ears like deafening thunder, startling him so much that he almost jumped up.

"Fourth brother~" After thinking about it, Yinxiang tried to act like a spoiled child in an effort to get away with the matter.

But Yinzhen did not do as he wished.

Spreading out the rice paper, Yinzhen lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the handwriting on it, and sighed: "Thirteenth brother, I know what you want to do, but - the reign title should belong to you."

In fact, there was nothing special written on the paper, just two words.

One Yong and one Zheng, together they form "Yongzheng".

No one knew Yinxiang better than Yinzhen. How could he not know what his younger brother was planning?

Changing the reign title to a new one is what every emperor who ascends to the supreme position should do, but his thirteenth brother plans to use the reign title from his previous life to start the new reign title.

How could this not make Yinzhen feel complicated and difficult? !

"Fourth brother——"

Yinxiang was speechless. He had originally planned to do this without telling his fourth brother, because he knew that if his fourth brother found out, he would never be able to accomplish it.

But who would have thought that even though he hid it so deeply, he was still discovered by his fourth brother.

Now that’s good, Fourth Brother will definitely educate him and stop him.

Yinxiang lowered his eyes in annoyance, looking dejected, not at all like the emperor who held the power of the world.

Yinzhen looked at him steadily, without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the imperial study was stagnant, completely different from the usual warm state.

This pair of best brothers in past and present lives finally confronted each other.

"Thirteenth brother, you know me. I will never agree with you doing this."

"But Fourth Brother, I really just want to use your reign title..."
