The Bewitching Master of the Qing Dynasty

There are so many different hairstyles, all kinds of weird ones!

The ministers and the people refused to accept each other at the beginning, but in the end they started to make trouble.

There are more and more styles, and there are also hairstyle competitions, the main goal is to be unique and good-looking!

When Xueli heard about it, she gave two waist belts and jewelry designed by her as prizes! The event suddenly became more lively!

Perhaps it was the tolerance of those in power that allowed the people to begin pursuing beauty after they had solved the problem of food and clothing.

Xue Li saw a business opportunity and opened several shops in Beijing selling the clothes she designed.

He also proposed to Huang Taiji to abolish women's foot binding. From that day on, if a family had bound feet, the men in the family would not be able to take the imperial examinations.

Huang Taiji was very happy. He also felt that the Han people had some bad habits that were really disgraceful!

At a gold awarding ceremony, Xue Li wore a costume that was a fusion of Han and Manchu ethnicity. The ministers' families stared at Xue Li from head to toe while chatting.

In the end, everyone quickly accepted it and started to change their clothes and dress up.

Jewelry started to flourish, and so did clothes!

The Qing court's reputation among the people gradually improved.

Guided by public opinion, Huang Taiji became a respected emperor.

In the 1646th year of Chongde (), the Qing Dynasty abolished the "enclosure" of Liaodong to ease ethnic conflicts.

Zheng Chenggong successfully recovered Taiwan from Dutch colonists in 1646, an event that had a profound impact on Taiwan's history.

In the 1647th year of Chongde (), a Mongolian prince wanted to marry the twin princesses, Moyali, at a banquet.

Xue Li rejected it without hesitation in public!

"First, twins are auspicious for the Qing Dynasty. Do you have any other intentions? Second, you are old and yet you are thinking about a 12-year-old girl. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at when I say this?"

The other party was very angry and wanted to say something, but after looking at Huang Taiji's expression and Xue Li's cold eyes, he finally said that he was drunk and talking nonsense.

Xue Li said this not only to the other party, but also to everyone present.

In her previous life, Moyali was married back to her maternal grandfather's house. Her husband was Galma Sonom of the Abagai tribe. The princess was 12 years old at that time, and he died at the age of 15.

Xue Li gets angry whenever she thinks about it!

At night, he pulled Huang Taiji aside and repeatedly stressed: "All princesses cannot get married under the age of 16! It is not good for mothers and children if a woman gives birth too early!"

Huang Taiji looked at Xueli with red eyes and responded.

"Okay, don't worry, I'm here!"

In her previous life, the original mother might have thought that her parents would treat the child well, but she did not expect that she was too young, and Dorgon was arrogant and domineering. If she was unwilling, she would definitely be married into another family!

It's a political marriage, why do you care about her life or death?

Thinking of this, Xue Li became a little angry because she thought that Dorgon was not dead yet.

What a coincidence, it was Dorgon who encouraged the Mongolian king to propose marriage.

Because his favorite concubine Aqina was jealous of Xueli and the emperor, he wanted to vent her anger and annoy Huang Taiji, so he instigated such a bad idea!

He underestimated the status of Mo Yali and Xue Li in Huang Taiji's heart! He also underestimated Xue Li's confidence!

Huang Taiji held Xueli in his arms and coaxed her gently, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Sure enough, I forgot what I should do!

In the 1648th year of Chongde (), Dorgon died in battle!

The favorite concubine Aqinna was buried alive.

Huang Taiji smiled gently and dragged Aqinna to the mass grave.

Dorgon was buried with great honor and posthumously named "Mighty and Heshuo Rui Prince".

On May 1649, 5, the empress died of illness. Her posthumous title was Empress Xiaoduanzhengjingrenyizheshuncixizhuangminfutianxieshengwen.

The 1650th year of Chongde () was a year in which many remarkable events took place in Chinese history, including the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the establishment of the British Republic, and important wars in European history.

Potatoes were also introduced to China in this year.

This year, Burha followed Huang Taiji to handle government affairs.

Kambu found potatoes and cultivated them on the farm, as well as other crops.

Abunai entered the military camp for training.

Moyali set up a factory and started his business.

At the end of the year, Huang Taiji was overjoyed because of the high yield of potatoes.

Sydney naturally researched a lot of food:

Potato pancakes: Mash potatoes, add eggs, flour, salt and other seasonings, mix well and fry into pancakes. It can be eaten as breakfast or snack.

Roasted potatoes: Wash the potatoes and roast them on a fire in the wild, even when marching or fighting. They are soft, sticky, filling and delicious.

Braised Pork with Potatoes: Stew potatoes and meat (such as pork, beef, etc.) together, add soy sauce, sugar and other seasonings, and simmer until the meat is tender and the potatoes are well-seasoned.

Mashed potatoes: Peel the baked or boiled potatoes, cut them into small pieces, and then mash them. You can add milk, salt, pepper and other seasonings, mix well and eat.

Potatoes can also be used to make a variety of dishes such as fried potato shreds, cold potato shreds, French fries, potato chips, potato stewed with pork ribs, potato stewed with beef brisket, etc.

Huang Taiji ate every day, and his eyes were burning as he looked at Xue Li.

Xueli rolled her eyes at him and said, "Eat it quickly! It's cold! Try it to see if it tastes good. From now on, the people of the Qing Dynasty won't have to worry about not having enough to eat. See if Mongolia is suitable for planting. This way, Manchuria and Mongolia can get along more harmoniously!"

When Huang Taiji heard her words, his eyes seemed to have thousands of words. He tasted them carefully, and his heart was full of excitement!

He also rewarded Kamubu greatly, and named him the Prince of Rui! He was given a mansion, ten thousand taels of gold and silver, and a manor!

The three twin siblings were very happy.

The next day, Xue Li received the imperial edict to confer the title of queen.

[Blessed by heaven, the emperor issued an edict:

Since ancient times, the empress has been the mother of the country, a model of virtue, and admired by both inside and outside. Now there is Borjigit, who comes from a noble family, has a dignified character, has been abiding by the code of conduct for women since entering the palace, has served me respectfully, has given birth to a son, has made contributions to the royal family, has helped my children grow up, and has brought joy to my family. She is truly my virtuous wife.

I have observed her words and deeds, and I think she is gentle, virtuous, and knows the great principles. She is truly qualified to be the empress. Therefore, I have decided to choose an auspicious day to enthrone Borjigit as the empress, to make her the mother of the country and to command the six palaces, in order to show her virtue.

The Queen should put the country first and urge me to be diligent in government affairs. The way to keep healthy should not be neglected. The Queen should give advice that benefits the country and the people to help me govern the world, realize the prosperity of the country, and make the people live and work in peace and contentment. I firmly believe that the Queen will live up to my expectations and become my right-hand man to create a prosperous world together.

This decree is issued and should be obeyed.

This is it.

Huang Taiji

December 25, Chongde 15th year]

At the grand court meeting, the ministers also learned about the yield and eating methods of the potatoes presented by Prince Rui.

Everyone was so excited that no one dared to say anything about Sydney being crowned queen.

I just suggested that the emperor could start the selection.

After all, many ministers had to admire the Han people. Alas, they said they were selecting contestants for the emperor, but in fact they were building a ladder for themselves to ascend to heaven!
