The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 110 Li Yan Regent
"Mr. Wu, look at how many princes have been encircled in the clan house so far. The eldest prince Yinzhi, the second prince Yinreng, the fourth prince Yinzhen, the eighth prince Yinsi, the thirteenth prince Yinxiang, and the fourteenth prince Yinzhi. There are six of them, all of them are young and strong princes, and they have all left a strong mark on the battlefield of competition."

"If we choose a power-hungry, ruthless heir, who can tolerate them!"

Li Yan spoke freely and shamelessly, "At least, I will let them live in peace until they grow old. Some of them will be released at the right time and after their mentality changes, so that they can contribute to the court!"

Li Yan has his own plans. Once he ascends the throne, his power will be consolidated.

These people cannot be allowed to eat for free without working every day. They must be released to work and contribute to the development of the Qing Dynasty, while they themselves can enjoy a happy life in the palace.

Wu Sidao asked a question in confusion: "The Fourth Master and the Eighth Master are fine, but the Fourteenth Master was far away in the northwest, and he showed up last night without anyone noticing. The timing was so tight, it really makes people feel incredible, isn't it?"

"It would take these few people ten or eight days to travel from the northwest to Beijing by horse. With so many troops, they would have to start the journey at least a month in advance. The food and supplies would have to be hidden along the way, and there would be so many checkpoints and spies. It would be impossible without a powerful hand to cover it up!"

"Hahaha, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed, sir, please don't take it seriously!" Li Yan had a strange expression on his face. He stretched out a finger, pointed at the sky, and said with a smile in his eyes.

"ah!."

"Hahahaha" Wu Sidao instantly understood what Li Yan meant and laughed out loud tacitly!
Both of them knew that it must be Emperor Kangxi who took action personally to create an opportunity for the Fourteenth Prince to appear in Beijing that night. Otherwise, who would have such ability and courage?

The fourteenth prince was tricked, but who could blame him for his unstable mind, greed, and inflated ambitions? Kangxi also created opportunities for Li Yan to attract him to take action.

But Li Yan was able to stick to his heart and break through the confusion!
In the final analysis, if you are not as skilled as others, you should accept the loss.
Kangxi wanted to choose an excellent successor to the Qing dynasty, not a morally flawless saint. The strong prey on the weak, and as an emperor, he may not have been unaware of this truth.

Li Yan was able to see through the mystery and make the most correct response choice, which shows that Li Yan's vision, wisdom and ability are superior to those of other princes. Based on this alone, he is the most qualified successor.

After many trials and tribulations, Li Yan became the final winner, feeling at peace with himself!

Both of them admired Kangxi from the bottom of their hearts. At the last moment, they left the world with a flash of brilliance and demonstrated the infinite charm of an emperor who will be remembered throughout the ages!

When he attended court the next day, Kangxi announced that due to health reasons, except for a small court meeting once a week and a large court meeting once every two weeks, the morning court meeting that was originally held every day would be cancelled.

The crown prince was in charge of the country and set up an office in the Qinzheng Hall next to the Qianqing Palace. The crown prince discussed and handled daily government affairs here with ministers from various departments.

Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, the two ministers of the Imperial Study, were reinstated to assist the crown prince in governing the country.

From then on, Li Yan had to get up before dawn every day and rush to the palace to review the memorials on behalf of the emperor and make comments. Finally, if the two Zhongtangs read it and found it correct, it could be issued for execution! Although the emperor had instructed that Li Yan could implement all matters in the court after discussing them with the ministers of the Shangshufang, without having to ask for instructions and report again, which would be troublesome and would affect Kangxi's health. But Li Yan was a well-informed person. Not to mention that he himself had a strong desire for power, even if he was greedy for power, he would not make such a low-level mistake.

As long as this man holds power, he cannot live without him. If Li Yan really believes him and he can do whatever he wants with him, I'm afraid Kangxi will not be able to bear it.

Anyway, Kangxi only had half a year left, so Li Yan didn't need to worry about anything anymore. No matter what Kangxi and the court officials said, he continued to do his own thing and report all the major and minor matters in the memorials he handled every day to Kangxi when he visited him in the afternoon.

Sometimes when Kangxi was in a good mood, he would give his opinions and comment on what was handled properly and what was not so appropriate. Most of the time, he would not say a word, and sometimes, Kangxi would fall asleep when Li Yan was talking.

Every time this happened, Li Yan would take a blanket and cover the master with it, then accompany him silently, sometimes reading memorials, and sometimes thinking about what was not done well in the official business he was handling.

In short, he set an example of a filial son and a virtuous king. He had already performed the eighty-eight bows, so this little shudder wouldn't make a difference!
Kangxi was very satisfied with Li Yan's performance. The father and son got along well with each other. The ministers in the court were also relieved and focused on Li Yan, managing state affairs in an orderly manner!
On this day, there were fewer affairs in the court. After they were all dealt with, Li Yan paid his respects to Kangxi. After being driven out of the palace by Kangxi, Li Yan and his guards took many twists and turns and arrived at a remote courtyard.

The guard went up and knocked on the door. When the doorman opened it, he was shocked to see a group of palace guards standing at the door!
The guard said, "The Crown Prince is visiting, why don't you notify your master to come and greet him?"

"Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The master is drinking tea and playing with birds in the yard. I will go and inform him right away." The doorman knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed.

"No need, we're not outsiders, let's go in by ourselves!" Li Yan stepped forward, and the doorman hurriedly led the way.

Everyone stepped into a courtyard with flowers in full bloom, green trees and pleasant scenery!
Although the courtyard is small, it is decorated very elegantly, unlike the courtyards in the north that emphasize spaciousness and have connected buildings.

Instead, it is like a Jiangnan courtyard, with jagged rocks, rockery and flowing water, winding paths and corridors, and blooming flowers everywhere, creating an atmosphere of peace.

In the corner, under a tree as tall as a crown, a gray-haired old man was sitting on a recliner, drinking tea leisurely and teasing two thrushes in a birdcage hanging on a branch next to him. The thrushes with brightly colored feathers made a "chirp" sound from time to time.

The old man heard the footsteps of a large group of people coming, and when he turned around, he saw Li Yan standing at the gate of the courtyard with a smile on his face, followed by the palace guards.

After being stunned for a moment, he quickly stood up, walked forward, knelt down and said: "I, Tong Guowei, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May the Crown Prince live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

Li Yan quickly helped Tong Guowei up, looked at him for a while, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tong is really leisurely and carefree, picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains!"

"Now that he has left the court and is no longer toiling over paperwork, he has not aged at all. Looking at his complexion now, he looks radiant and energetic. He is even more energetic. This is really cause for celebration!"
