My father is Yongzheng, and I am Qianlong?

Chapter 394 Restoring the Fourteenth Prince's Title: Emperor Qianlong's Imperial Grace to the Imperial Clan!
After Hongli said this, the Grand Councilors, including Ortai, Zhang Tingyu, Fuerdan, Neqin, and Qingfu, all raised their eyes and showed expressions of admiration.

Ortai then bowed deeply and said, "What you say is true, but if we do this now, I'm afraid people will misunderstand and say many things that are inappropriate about you."

Hongli nodded.

He knew what the possible misunderstandings Ortai mentioned were: that he would feel that doing so was still a denial of Yongzheng.

After all, any action taken by the emperor could be magnified.

to this end.

Hongli stood up and looked like he was thinking seriously.

Not long after, Hongli turned back to look at Zhang Tingyu and the others with a resolute expression:
"But one who is hesitant and fearful of everything cannot be a good emperor!"

"First, in gratitude to the former Empress Dowager, lift the ban on my fourteenth uncle, restore his title of Prince Xun, and return his former residence as a prince!"

"Furthermore, following the precedent of the Khan bestowing red sashes upon the descendants of the imperial clan who had committed offenses, such as Ajige, the descendants of Yunsi will also be granted red sashes as a sign of official rank!"

After giving the instructions, Hongli clasped his hands tightly in front of him and looked outside with a bright and focused expression.

Because Emperor Qianlong was autocratic, he made this decision.

Therefore, following the execution of Wang Shijun and Xiande, the investigation of Xiande's family history spanning three generations, the stripping of Hongxi's title and the renaming of his descendants, and the alteration of their sashes, there was an imperial edict restoring Yunti's title and granting red sashes to Yunsi's descendants.

The government and the public naturally reacted strongly to these recent imperial edicts.

"His Majesty is indeed destined to become a great emperor!"

Therefore, when Yunli was at Prince Dun's residence, celebrating the restoration of Yunti's title with other members of the imperial clan, including Yun, Yuntao, Yunlu, Yunyi, and Yunxi, he sighed and said the following.

These members of the royal family and nobles were all slightly taken aback.

Yunli then explained with a smile, “It’s not that I’m being presumptuous, but I brought this up because seeing all of us brothers gathered together today makes me think that this opportunity is largely due to His Majesty.”

After hearing this, Yun and Yunlu nodded and said in unison:

"Seventeenth Brother is right!"

Yunyi, Yunxi, and the others looked completely bewildered.

Yun Tao then looked at Yun Ti.

Yunti suddenly downed a glass of wine, then smiled with relief: "Seventeenth Brother is absolutely right!"

Yunti then cupped his hands and waved them towards the Forbidden City: "It is all thanks to the Emperor's great grace that I am able to gather with my brothers at my tenth brother's residence today! Compared to my rebellious son, the Emperor is truly capable of shouldering the responsibility of our Great Qing Dynasty."

"I've failed to raise my son properly!"

As Yunti finished speaking, he poured himself another glass of wine and sighed.

Seeing this, Yuntao couldn't help but advise, "Fourteenth brother, that's enough. You've only just been released from confinement, and your body hasn't fully recovered. You shouldn't drink too much."

"Twelfth Brother is right!"

"Fourteenth Brother, don't drink too much."

At this moment, Yun also gave Yunti instructions with a concerned expression.

Snapped!
Yunti slammed his hand on the table, his eyes wide with anger: "I'm going to drink! I'll drink myself to death, you bastard who failed to raise his son properly! It's none of your business!"

"You drink, you drink."

Yun raised his hand speechlessly, clearly somewhat intimidated by the fourteenth brother.

Yunti continued to say that he had failed in raising his son, taking a sip of water after each sentence.

Clearly, he began to blame his failure on Hongchun's filial impiety, feeling that Hongchun had implicated him and caused Kangxi not to pass the throne to him.

People always find an excuse for their failures.

The more arrogant a person is, the more likely they are to find excuses for their failures and refuse to admit that they have failed. Yunti was no exception.

Because Hongchun betrayed him, he was imprisoned, and the sixteenth and seventeenth princes became princes. As Hongli's uncle, he was already grateful to be released and have his title of prince restored. Therefore, he naturally hated Hongchun to the bone and instinctively blamed Hongchun for his other failures.

In addition, during the years he was banned, he could do nothing but reflect on his failures and why Hongchun betrayed him.

In addition, Hongli had mentioned to him back then the impact of Hongchun on his loss of the crown prince position.

In conclusion, Yunti naturally attributed all his failures to having an unfilial and disrespectful son.

of course!

Emperor Hongli also issued an edict reprimanding Hongchun for being unfilial and disrespectful to his elders.

Therefore, Yunti no longer needed to worry about the potential harm in blaming Hongchun.

"Dog, Fourteenth Brother is right!"

"With the new emperor ascending the throne, he, as a son, didn't even bother to ask for a favor and release his fourteenth brother. He's worse off as a son than a nephew!"

At this moment, Yun also spoke frankly about his dissatisfaction with Hongchun.

"My eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fifth brother, seventh brother, and fifteenth brother are all gone;"

"Fourth Brother is old and ill, needing assistance to walk; Eighth Brother's descendants were awarded red sashes, and apart from Ninth Brother continuing to translate books at the imperial mausoleum, Fourteenth Brother was also released from confinement and restored to his title;"

"Thirteenth Brother is also unable to walk now."

"It's already very good that we, the generation with the character 'Yun' in our names, can still sit together to eat and drink."

"May the next generation also be content, enjoy peace and tranquility, and obey the will of the gods."

Yunlu then spoke up, saying what he hoped to see in the future.

His words caused everyone to become solemn, and many even showed signs of sadness.

With tears in his eyes, Yunhuan chimed in, "Sixteenth Brother is right! We won't argue anymore!"

"I admire the current emperor. He dared to withstand the pressure and release his fourteenth brother, giving the descendants of his eighth brother an identity. Among the younger generation, he is considered to have shown some compassion!"

"To be honest, they are all much better than Hong Sheng, who humiliated his uncle, Hong Xi, who shamelessly called his fourth brother 'Father Emperor,' and Hong Chun, who betrayed his father!"

"Damn it, just talking about these younger generations makes me angry!"

As Yun spoke, she turned her chubby, round face to look at everyone.

He was very grateful to Hongli.

After all, thanks to Hongli, he has now actually obtained the title of Prince and has not been purged for siding with the Ninth Prince on the Eighth Prince's side.

And he was indeed dissatisfied with his other younger relatives and nephews.

Because he witnessed Hong Sheng humiliating the thirteenth prince.

Although he didn't have a good relationship with the thirteenth prince, he couldn't tolerate Hongsheng's humiliating behavior towards his uncle, and he did know that Hongxi and Hongchun had gone too far in trying to please Yongzheng to the point of being shameless.

"The current emperor is wise and sagacious, lenient yet strict, and good at recognizing and employing people. He brings blessings to our Qing Dynasty, and scholars and officials both at home and abroad praise him."

“Our royal family should also restrain their own members, be loyal to the emperor and be respectful of etiquette, be law-abiding at home and diligent in royal duties when in office, and can no longer be the same as before.”

"Old grudges should be put aside. We must not allow the ancestral land and the country to be ruined because our clan is not united and does not abide by the imperial laws and regulations."

At this point, Yunti solemnly shared his opinion.

Yunli, Yunlu, and Yunxi all looked at him with surprise, but at the same time, they couldn't help but smile.

Yun didn't think too much about it, and instead slammed his hand on the table: "Fourteenth Brother is absolutely right!"
