Gu Xun transmigrated and became the Eighth Prince.
Not the Eighth Prince renowned for his virtue in the Nine Princes' succession struggle, nor the one who lived the longest and died of old age, but the beloved baby boy of Hong Taiji and Hailanzhu, who died young before he was even given a name.
Gu Xun had just been moved to tears by the love story of Lan and Ji on television. Then he transmigrated into the short-lived Eighth Prince.
Gu Xun wailed, "Heaven means to destroy me!"
System: I can grant you one wish. You can choose to save one person. Who do you want to save?
Gu Xun: I'll save myself first!
#As long as I live, my mom can live too#
#As long as my mom lives, my dad can hold on until he takes the Central Plains#
.
His parents' love story was already recorded in the history books. His father was Hong Taiji, his mother was Consort Chen of the Guan Sui Palace, and his mother's family was the Khorchin. As the precious son of a "golden bloodline" born from a Manchu-Mongol marriage, the Eighth Prince had an incomparably noble status.
In his previous life, he had worked himself to the bone through school and work. Now, all of a sudden, he had gained the easy life of a lazy fish who could coast to success.
#I opened my eyes to a lifetime of wealth and glory, not a new life#
Gu Xun peacefully closed his eyes. This life was a mess, and he was absolutely going to slack off!
Wait!
Help, it looks like this Eighth Prince died young!
Historically, this unnamed Eighth Prince was born, and Hong Taiji issued the first general amnesty of his reign. Unfortunately, the boy was simply too frail and lived for only six months, dying before he could even be named.
His beloved son died young, and Consort Chen fell ill from grief and passed away.
His beloved consort died, and Hong Taiji missed her so deeply that he too soon followed her to the grave.
With a shudder, Gu Xun curled up in his swaddling clothes, sucking on his fingers as he planned his future:
Task One: Find a way to live past six months.
Task Two: Save my mom, who died in the prime of her life at thirty-three.
Task Three: Save my useless dad, who can't survive without my mom.
After struggling to make it to the age of three, Gu Xun was delighted. His lifetime of wealth and glory was secured. Here I come, life as a rich idle gentleman!
The System, silent for three years, suddenly appeared.
"System: Host, I hear you're a clever child. How about learning some ancient infrastructure development?"
Gu Xun refused three times in a row: I'm not, I haven't, go ask someone else!
Important note
[Hailanzhu entered the palace and the Eighth Prince was born earlier than in history, so the corresponding timeline will also change.]
The character setup requires one male and one female lead, but this story is mainly about a child growing up, while the romance is between his parents. So I listed the Eighth Prince for both character slots. Chengxu and Ping'an are his formal name and childhood name.
Reader's Guide:
1. The protagonist is the Eighth Prince. He spends much of the story as a child, and everyone dotes on him.
2. The story will deviate from history, so please don't scrutinize it. History buffs, read at your own risk!
3. The supporting cast is the entire Aisin-Gioro family.
4. The System and infrastructure development may not appear very early.
5. There is a substantial amount of romance between the parents, Lan and Ji. If that's not your thing, please take note.
***Coming Soon: The Qing Dynasty: My Sons Seem a Little Off***
It all begins with Crown Prince Yinreng's transmigration.
Yu Wei, a fine young man from the modern era, transmigrates into the body of Kangxi and his primary consort Hesheri's second son.
Yu Wei, a poor unfortunate soul, died in a traffic accident. Being reborn after transmigrating should have been a good thing,
but his transmigration target is the deposed Crown Prince. How is that a good thing?
To sum it up, he transmigrated, but it seems he won't survive either.
Thinking of the infamous two depositions and two reinstatements, and the more than ten years of house arrest...
Yu Wei: "..."
I don't want the throne. I really can't do this!
Whoever wants to fight can fight. I'll lie flat first.
Emperor Kangxi watched as his sons, who had once fought tooth and nail for power, suddenly changed their ways overnight. He couldn't help feeling that something was wrong.
The First Prince, Yinzhi, went off to fight battles in Europe and never sent a letter back, year after year.
The Third Prince, Yinreng, fell in love with compiling books and spent every day at the Hanlin Academy.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, became obsessed with inspections and insisted on becoming a Blood Drip.
The Eighth Prince, Yinsi, spent every day socializing with friends from all over the country. He had no time to attend court, let alone fight for power.
The Ninth Prince, Yintang, fell in love with business. The venomous Ninth Prince turned around and became the Qing Empire's biggest unscrupulous merchant.
The Tenth Prince, Yin'e, fell in love with farming. He got so tanned that he was black as coal, and told Kangxi,
"Imperial Father, I think a good harvest brings joy to the heart. I want to farm for the rest of my life!"
The Thirteenth Prince only knew how to follow Fourth Brother around. He went with his brother to work as a spy.
The Fourteenth Prince went to the border once and won a battle. Then he suddenly said he'd found his life's purpose and never wanted to come back.
What on earth is going on?!
Kangxi panicked. Which one of you is going to become emperor?
Surely I can't keep doing this for the rest of my life!
At that moment, Yinreng raised his hand.
"Um, Imperial Father, I..."
As expected, Baocheng was thoughtful. All that love I gave him wasn't wasted.
Kangxi let out a huge sigh of relief. At last, he didn't have to worry about the empire having no successor.
"Wonderful! Baocheng, you can..."
Yu Wei cut him off.
"No... My wife is having a baby today. I have to get back right away!"
Theme: No matter what era you live in, keep striving to live well!
Huang Taiji: No, I am carrying the world on my back, I want to cheer up! (Turns around with tears streaming down his face) Hailanzhu, my wife, why don't you want me anymore (dog crying) (manual dog head∪
Laughing to death, just a fatal injury, not worth mentioning
Concubine Horqin is a political creature, not only for her daughter, but also for herself. A woman's status in her husband's family depends partly on her natal family and partly on her children; only a few people can rely on themselves. Which one has more say in the tribe, the mother of the future queen or the aunt of the future queen?
I was born to protect the world and bring peace to the people, why should I be born for a woman? 🍉 The original word "" was deleted by Qianlong. The meaning of the word "" is very different. His great-grandson really dislikes the love brain of his ancestors.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooww is am was was was was was was is is was wasn' was was was was was a great success!!!!!
It's really beautiful, thanks for the limited fee
Although, Huang Taiji had several great fortunes and had many children. He had several children with Hailanzhu's aunt and sister. Fulin was also born after the eighth prince was born, which can be regarded as an affair during pregnancy. If Huang Taiji had not died young, Hai Lanzhu would have been just a love in his life. When I think about this, I still feel very uncomfortable. It has nothing to do with me whether someone who doesn't care about his or her debauchery, but if someone I really like betrays me, it will be really painful. Therefore, it is said that a wise man does not fall in love. Emotions can hurt others and themselves, so there is no need to have them.
When I read this article, it seems that Huang Taiji and Hailanzhu are in a political marriage.
But I guessed wrongly. I thought Eji was the leader and Zhezhe was the guided person.
After entering the customs in 1644, the cold period continued for decades, and the temperature was still low in the early years of Kangxi. It was not until the temperature slowly rose in the late 17th century, coupled with the recuperation in the early Qing Dynasty and the gradual promotion of new crops (corn, sweet potatoes), that food pressure was gradually relieved.
