In the fifteenth year of the Yongzheng Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the location was located in the imperial palace in the Forbidden City in Beijing. This is the story of the prince Yun Yuan, who was born at the age of 62 in the Qing Dynasty.
He was the son born to Kangxi in his later years, and because Kangxi died before his death, he did not receive his father's true love. However, because of an unexpected encounter, he was fortunate to be raised by Kangxi's heir Yongzheng as his own son, and experienced an extraordinary fate.
At that time, the prince Yun Yuan was extremely smart and clever when he was young, and he had a double crown of appearance and intelligence. Despite his origins as the illegitimate son of the emperor, he lived in the court in a low-key manner without attracting much attention.
Until one day, Emperor Yongzheng happened to hear about this unusual prince and decided to meet him in person. That year, not long after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he was worried and couldn't help but worry about the future of the country. He heard that Yun Yuan had noble character and outstanding talent, and decided to raise him as his own son so that he could inherit the throne in the future.
So, Yongzheng personally went to Yun Yuan's residence and met the young prince with outstanding appearance. Attracted by Yun Yuan's bright eyes and witty answers, he immediately ordered him to be admitted to the palace for his son.
When Yun Yuan first entered the Forbidden City, he couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement and excitement. He used to be just an ordinary prince, living in a remote place, and never imagined that one day he would be able to enter the palace and become a real prince.
After entering the court, Yongzheng personally guided Yun Yuan's education and training. He paid attention to Yunyuan's moral cultivation and studies, and personally taught him literature and history, hoping that he could become a virtuous and talented prince.
Yun Yuan continued to grow under the careful teaching of Yongzheng, showing a talent that is different from ordinary people. He was not only excellent in his studies, but also had extraordinary wisdom and strategy. Yongzheng saw his potential and talent and decided to let him inherit the throne in the future and become the next emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
However, just as Yun Yuan was enjoying Yongzheng's protection and cultivation, his fate took a turn. Yongzheng died suddenly, and Qianlong, who was only twenty-five years old, succeeded him as the new emperor. Yun Yuan's successor status was shaky for a while.
Emperor Qianlong was a wise and decisive monarch, and he knew that as the ninth brother, he inherited the bloodline and jade throne of his father. Although Yun Yuan was raised by Yongzheng as his own son, he did not have much closeness to Yun Yuan. Qianlong knew that in order to stabilize the government and his own dominance, it was necessary to weaken Yun Yuan's influence.
Qianlong began to take action to weaken Yun Yuan's position and influence. He restricted Yun Yuan's power and scope of activities, and deprived him of the right to participate in government affairs and the military. Qianlong also arranged a series of marriages, marrying his daughter to Yun Yuan in order to consolidate his control over him.
Despite all the pressures and constraints, Yun Yuan did not give up. He struggled to maintain his dignity and ability to think independently. Although he was in a difficult situation, he continued to Xi learn and explore from the outside world, and constantly improved his talents and talents.
With his brilliant talent and strategy, Yun Yuan gradually won some of his cronies and supporters. Through his ingenuity and fair governance, he became the ideal monarch in the minds of the people. Under Qianlong's rule, he constantly worked hard to improve the lives of the people, upholding the concept of seeking happiness for the country and the people.
Time passed, time passed, and Yun Yuan gradually gained the hearts of the people and became a prince respected by people. Although he lived in the shadow of Qianlong, he still maintained a noble character and a concept of governance.
Once again, however, fate unexpectedly changed. Emperor Qianlong's time gradually came to an end, and he passed the jade throne to his son Jiaqing. Yun Yuan knew in his heart that he would never have a chance to ascend to the throne and become a real emperor. He knew that his role was always only Qianlong's adopted son, and he could not overcome the shackles of the feudal system.
