Chapter 508 Qianlong's Succession 18
Although she said it casually, Yongqi was Qianlong's last reliance after all, so he still had some connections.
He knew Xue Li's actions early on!
Even more bold and presumptuous than before he left!
But the effect is visibly good.
The changes in the Qing Dynasty were immediate.
In fact, the Manchu royal family was extremely afraid of a counterattack by the Han people, so they did their best to deal with the complaints from the people.
As for whether there is anyone implementing the policy, they have not personally experienced it.
After all, even when the late emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River, what everyone saw on the road was singing and dancing, and people living and working in peace and contentment!
Then the popular uprising can only be the result of the rebels’ unwillingness to give up their evil intentions!
Until he really walked among the people.
Finally he went abroad and saw that the wild places his father had talked about were actually extremely advanced.
He directly overturned our cognition!
So, I started traveling around the world.
Suffering, war, the plunder of all skin colors and races, and all kinds of resources...
His cognition gradually changed!
If what Sydney told him at first was to see how rapidly the outside world was changing.
Thinking about how to balance the relationship between Manchus and Han people.
Although he was angry, it was more of a decision based on safety considerations!
He was afraid that if he stayed in the capital any longer he would become the third paralyzed member of the royal family!
So even though I was extremely reluctant, I still obeyed and left.
He was even glad that they were mother and son, so he wouldn't be too miserable.
He is well-versed in history books!
He realized that his mother was even more cruel than Emperor Wu!
After all, a soft-hearted person cannot be in power!
He doesn't want to be the second Li Xian.
Li Xian was Wu Zetian's second son and was made crown prince after Li Hong's death. He was intelligent and studious and had summoned scholars to annotate the Book of the Later Han.
Wu Zetian regarded the book's focus on phenomena such as imperial harem relatives interfering in government affairs as an allusion.
Moreover, he gradually developed his own power as the crown prince, which came into conflict with Wu Zetian's control over power.
He was then demoted to a commoner and later forced to commit suicide!
Yongqi thought he was very sensible.
He actually has more emotions in his heart than he shows.
He was the legitimate son of the Empress, so naturally he had many followers.
He knew early on that if he did less and made fewer mistakes, he would be able to succeed to the throne safely.
Of course, he didn't anticipate the subsequent developments!
The throne was as sure as a sure thing for him, and everything was as expected, so he was indifferent.
But he didn't expect that his mother couldn't sit still!
Of course, he never dared to look down on women.
But no matter what, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!
result……
He has changed a lot since he was far away from his hometown.
After several years of experience, he no longer had the arrogance of a royal child.
Instead, he seemed a little more indifferent!
Sydney was very confused!
Until the mother and son sat together and chatted again.
"Do you know why your father was so considerate to me when we were in Jiangnan? After all, we have been estranged for many years." Xue Li's voice was vague.
“……” Yongqi’s eyes were full of confusion.
"Because he was saved by Yongqi, he intended to make him the crown prince. This is only one reason. Of course, Concubine Ling was not able to sit still, as she also had a son. Second, he wanted to make Concubine Ling the Imperial Concubine. The core meaning is marginalizing you and me."
"..." Yongqi was speechless. He knew too well the threat that the Imperial Noble Concubine posed to the Queen.
Moreover, the late emperor was very fond of Concubine Ling.
Xue Li smiled casually: "Now we have won, so we are sitting here making tea and listening to the rain, but if we had lost, you can imagine what would have happened to you and me!"
"Not really, right? The Emperor still has some feelings for you."
"Oh? But what if someone is plotting and instigating every day? For example, Concubine Ling beside him, and Dai Jia beside you!" After a long time, Xue Li said it as a joke.
Yongqi felt something indescribable when he thought of that person.
When he heard Xue Li mention Dai Jia again, his expression became a little awkward.
"By the way, what stimulated you to offer the throne so obediently?" Xue Li glanced at him.
Yongqi smiled, his expression indifferent: "You want it, and you do it better than any of us! What's more, it's meaningless."
Xue Li was a little surprised. What did you mean by "not interesting"?
So she listened to Yongqi's story, her expression sometimes speechless and sometimes ferocious.
Yongqi went to the West and knew that there were many churches abroad.
It was only after a field investigation that he discovered that there were far more than he had imagined.
It was only after seeing the war that he realized it.
Those foreigners are indeed restless.
The essence of missionary work is cultural invasion and expansion of religious organizations.
Some religious organizations establish churches, temples and other institutions in different regions through missionary work, thereby expanding their influence and control over local society.
For example, the missionary activities of the Catholic Church in medieval Europe were closely related to the consolidation of the Catholic Church’s power in the political, economic and other fields of Europe.
Catholicism also took root in the Qing Dynasty, but its audience was not large.
After all, there is also Tibetan Buddhism promoted by the Qing Dynasty and the free and undisciplined local Taoism and Central Plains Buddhism.
In addition, the land of China has a long history and a profound and diverse culture.
So the Western way is just normal.
But the impact overseas is even greater.
It is even more convenient to exercise rights under the pretext of religion.
Yongqi himself had a deep understanding of Buddhism. Of course, he took all kinds of talents with him when he left.
There are young talents, a few sociable second-generation rich people, and a few shamans, lamas, Taoist priests...
In order to make things easier, several people at the time used the name of religion.
After getting the benefits, I feel that I can't be like them.
You should even be unique and set a benchmark for yourself.
After all, the immortals in the shaman can see the past and the future, the Taoists are good at fortune-telling with the hexagrams and the eight trigrams, and the lamas are good at exorcising evil spirits, praying for blessings, and discussing past and present lives...
There were also a few young men who were good at tricking people and showing off the superiority of their Qing Dynasty.
Thus, a few people accidentally established a country through religion.
Yongqi himself had actually witnessed birth, aging, sickness and death, and had seen the prosperous or miserable situations in various places.
Only he knows what he feels in his heart!
In his eyes, everything is a microcosm of history.
Countless repetitions of glory and misery, prosperity and decline.
So, he became more indifferent.
He was very eloquent and persuasive when it came to debating with those who came to him because of cultural shock.
Of course, as expected, it pissed people off.
More people came from various churches.
So, a young general beside Yongqi took action.
I angrily flipped through dozens of books from various religions and then came up with my own theory.
"Protector Hong was originally an ordinary scholar, but he was well versed in thought!" Yongqi spoke of his subordinates with a gentle smile on his face.
"Wait?! What did you say? Hong?" Xue Li was stunned.
"Yes, Hong, the Hong that means flood!" Yongqi was a little puzzled, but still explained in a gentle voice.
