The Qing Dynasty: The Deposed Crown Prince's Daily Madness

After being deposed as crown prince for the first time, Yinreng was confined to the dilapidated Xian'an Palace. There, he unexpectedly learned of the miserable fate awaiting him: after being installed and deposed twice, his only legitimate daughter would be married off to Mongolia and die young on the grasslands, while his eldest son Hongxi, in whom he had placed great hopes, would be executed on charges of treason by Qianlong, the son of Fourth Brother. The Eastern Palace line would nearly die out. The pampered Crown Prince then began spectacularly losing his mind in the Forbidden City!!!

If such a tragic ending was inevitable, then the Crown Prince would flip the table! Give up! Give up! Take everyone down with him!

He rolled up his sleeves and smashed up Xian'an Palace! He pulled up his trouser legs and beat up Longkodo!

He railed at Third Brother's faction! Punched Fourth Brother's faction! Kicked Eighth Brother's faction!

He ran to Cining Palace and wept bitterly for Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, then knelt outside Kunning Palace and wept for his late mother, Empress Heseri! He even grabbed a razor, shaved his head, and shouted that he would follow his grandfather's legacy, join the late emperor, and become a monk on Mount Wutai!

The Crown Prince was the thorn in every prince's eye, the pain in their neck!

After more than ten years and an enormous amount of effort, the princes competing for the throne had finally joined forces to bring the Crown Prince down. They were ready to fight for the position of heir, but never in their wildest dreams did they expect this: the deposed Crown Prince had gone mad!!!

The deposed Crown Prince went on a rampage, insulting the Four Consorts and fighting the Eight Dragons. Kangxi was so furious his fingers trembled, and he nearly had a stroke:

Everyone in the capital knew that the deposed Crown Prince had gone mad!!!

Because the deposed Crown Prince's "Madness Plan" was to:

1. Grow crops in the Imperial Garden!

2. Raise pigs in the Hall of Heavenly Purity!

3. ...

Kangxi, too furious to speak: "..."

The Eight Dragons, utterly stunned: "..."

Notes:
