Qing Dynasty: Qianlong's Reign: I Offer a Strategy from the Start and Earn Kangxi's Esteem

Hongli wakes up to find himself the fourth son of Prince Yong, the man who will one day be known as the Qianlong Emperor, the Perfect Old Man of Ten Great Campaigns. Since he has become a future emperor, he has no intention of following the usual course. To distinguish himself before Kangxi and help his father, Yinzhen, Prince Yong, win the succession, he compiles Vieta's formulas from the mathematics taught in later generations' middle schools and presents them as a congratulatory gift for Kangxi's sixtieth year on the throne.

Kangxi gets up from his seat as soon as he finishes reading, praising Hongli repeatedly. He immediately bestows a jade ruyi on him and personally orders that he be brought to the Garden of Everlasting Spring to attend him. Yinzhen sees him in a new light, his principal consort, Lady Ula-Nara, takes the initiative to win him over, and even Hongzhou becomes one of his closest brothers. Meanwhile, Hongshi, who spends all day cozying up to the Eighth Prince's faction, is still dreaming that his fourteenth uncle will ascend the throne.

After entering the palace, Hongli thrives at Kangxi's side. He excels at mathematics, Manchu, and government affairs, gradually becoming one of the emperor's most valued grandsons. At the same time, he secretly relays messages for Yinzhen, helping his father move step by step toward the throne. The Great Qing will eventually fall, and the institution of emperors will pass into history.
