This volume mainly depicts the power struggle among the various princes during Emperor Kangxi's later years, as he chooses his successor and crown prince. The later years of Kangxi's reign were plagued with corrupt officials, rampant greed, unjust cases, unequal land taxes, excessive centralization of land, widespread poverty among the people, and outbreaks of rebellions. The imperial family and old nobles borrowed from the national treasury, leading to its depletion. The princes coveted the throne and formed their own factions, engaging in treacherous behavior. Facing such a situation, Kangxi was exhausted and made multiple attempts to rectify the situation, but all were in vain because Crown Prince Yinre, indulging in lust and lacking political acumen, made misguided decisions. Frustrated and disappointed, Kangxi deposed Yinre. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, Yinre was reinstated, but was soon deposed again. The rise and fall of two crown princes caused a great stir in the court. The princes harbored hidden ambitions and took advantage of the chaos, plotting in secret chambers or meddling within government departments, coveting the throne.

The fourth prince, Yinzheng, was a man of depth and mystery, possessing a charismatic personality, hence being known as the "Cold-Faced King". Through the

I was born as a scholar but mistakenly ended up in a royal family. I have read many books and know thousands of characters. If there were peaceful times, I would teach some ignorant children, enjoy some music, and find some friends to sneak a look at beautiful young ladies. Traveling the world with a sword is too tiring; the allure of material wealth and power is too noisy; indulging in drinking is too nauseating. Looking back, I unexpectedly became a king, but the value of my precious head is worth more than gold, and yet it's still too bothersome. Walking a long road, I know that deep in the grassy sea lies a mountain covered in eternal snow, and beyond those hundred-thousand mountains, there is a sky-obscuring heavenly fire. The world is nothing more than a chessboard. With a beloved companion and the wisdom of many philosophers, it's hard to find a moment of tranquility. So, let's join in the excitement and play a few games of idle chess, waiting for the blossoming of spring to see if the jar of wine buried under the crabapple tree in my youth has matured.
