Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

The death of Zhen Yuandao made Concubine Wan heartbroken. She cried and begged the emperor to overturn the verdict of the Zhen family and let the four members of the Zhen family return to Beijing with a clear conscience. Although the emperor agreed to Concubine Wan's request, he also told her that it was not so easy to overturn the verdict of Zhen Yuandao. If she really wanted to do it justifiably, it could only be that the whistleblower E Min had problems first.

Concubine Wan did not hesitate to ask the emperor to start with E Min to overturn the case for the Zhen family, but this move aroused the emperor's vigilance and reminded him of Concubine Wan's involvement in government affairs in the past.

Therefore, the emperor, who had just changed his opinion of Concubine Wan, once again cooled his meager feelings for her. He told himself that he could only tolerate Concubine Wan's "inappropriate words" this time. After all, Concubine Wan's biological father had passed away, and it was normal for her to be a little emotional and say things that she would never say before.

Concubine Wan didn't know that although her position in the emperor's heart was far from being precarious, for some things, standing still meant moving backwards.

In June, the Junggar Khan, who had been in turmoil for almost a year, finally settled down. The new Junggar Khan was not the son of Mogh Khan, but his brother, so the court sent someone to bring back Princess Chaogui. Although the new Junggar Khan still wanted to continue the marriage with the court, the court was ready to end the war against Junggar before August and did not intend to completely take over the Junggar region, but everyone was planning to make it impossible for Junggar to attack the court again within ten years.

As for what will happen ten years later, everyone can already foresee that the wool business will definitely grow bigger and bigger. After all, the imperial court has to support a population of nearly 10 million. Even if only one-third of the people can buy woolen clothes to spend the winter, the market will be unimaginable.

In the future, there will be more and more cattle and sheep raised on the grassland, and correspondingly, the number of horses will definitely decrease significantly. As for the people on the grassland, without horses and soldiers, how can they have the opportunity to oppose the court?

Also returning to the capital with Princess Chaogui were the Zhen family's mother and daughter. After Zhen Yuandao's death, Yun also fell ill, and it was Zhen Yuyin who took over the family for a short period of time, giving Yun the opportunity to recover from her illness and also protecting Zhen Yurao, whose beauty had already been revealed.

After this incident, the Yun family no longer had such a big gap between them and Zhen Yuyin. They were sincere in educating Zhen Yuyin. In just two short months after returning to Beijing from the northwest, Zhen Yuyin got rid of her frivolous temperament and looked like a very dignified and generous lady.

It was at this time that Zhen Yuyin finally understood the difference between herself, Zhen Huan and Zhen Yurao. In the dead of night, she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself and her biological mother, but she couldn't hate Yun Shi at all. At least her biological mother He Mianmian never taught her how to be a lady, and she was only immersed in the worries about Zhen Yuandao.

However, in such a harsh environment as the Northwest, the Yun family was able to assist Zhen Yuandao in supporting a large family and protect two beautiful girls in the family. At the same time, they did not teach Zhen Yurao less or not at all just because the teachings were not useful in such an environment as the Northwest.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Prince Zhi returned triumphantly again. This time, the imperial court directly cut the combat power of Dzungar by half. Not only did it greatly reduce the combat power of Dzungar, but it also ensured that there would never be another powerful leader like Galdan or Mog Khan in Dzungar who could suppress all the heroes. It was very clearly foreseeable that Dzungar would completely become a pasture for the imperial court.

The emperor held a grand celebration banquet in the Old Summer Palace, where all the monarch and his subjects enjoyed themselves together. Except for Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin who did not come out of the palace, Yi Xin brought Concubine Wan and Concubine Hui to prepare for the celebration banquet. All the princes and princesses, as well as the princes and their wives from various royal palaces and their next generation came.

The emperor was finally generous for once and announced in public that the Prince of Zhi was promoted twice, from the title of Prince to the Iron-Hat Prince. You know, the Iron-Hat Prince is a hereditary title, and as long as the descendants do not commit any acts of treason or treason, the title of prince can be passed down from generation to generation.

This title has been maintained for eight people since the founding of the country. The reason why Prince Zhi was able to obtain such an honor was thanks to the fact that Prince Zheng's family had no descendants, so a position was vacant.

Prince Zhi heard the music and understood the meaning of the song, and he petitioned the emperor to appoint their eldest son Hongyu as the crown prince. Firstly, Hongyu was the eldest son of the first wife of Prince Zhi, and secondly, Hongyu was neither good at literature nor martial arts, which made the emperor feel more at ease.

Of course, the emperor agreed to Prince Zhi's request, and then promoted Prince Ding to the title of prince. He also released Prince Xun, the fourteenth prince who had guarded the imperial mausoleum for many years.

Years ago, the emperor finally made up his mind to enthrone Yi Xin as the empress, because he had finally given up on having children. Even though Hong Sheng had just been in school for a year, he could already be seen to have more outstanding talent than his brothers. Since Hong Sheng's position as heir had been established, he might as well let Hong Sheng's mother Yi Xin take a step further.

The Fucha clan finally had a queen, and the next emperor must have their Fucha clan's blood. Under such glory, Ma Qi and other direct descendants of the Fucha clan were very sober. The lesson of the Niohuru clan was right in front of them. What's more, the innate conditions of the Fucha clan were not as good as those of the Niohuru clan. How could they have the nerve to be more rampant than the Niohuru clan?

Then, Yi Xin moved from Chengqian Palace to the carefully renovated Kunning Palace. Kunning Palace welcomed another queen after Empress Renxiao and Empress Xiaozhao.

Originally, Yi Xin thought that the emperor would promote Concubine Wan because of the miserable situation of the Zhen family. Unexpectedly, the emperor only changed Concubine Wan's title. Concubine Wan became Concubine Xi and also became the mother of the Fourth Prince Hongli. It seemed that some things had gone through many twists and turns and returned to their original path.

However, Yi Xin had long regarded Concubine Xi and her son as ordinary people. On the contrary, Concubine Hui had a much higher status in Yi Xin's heart. Even though the emperor still had not agreed to issue such an imperial edict, Concubine Hui was still working hard silently and even led the Shen family to work together.

At present, Princess Chaogui is temporarily living in the palace because the princess's mansion has not been completed yet. Concubine Hui has set her sights on Princess Chaogui and persuaded her to do things for women.

Yi Xin directly mentioned the other two princesses of the late emperor who were still alive: Princess Rongxian, who was born to the same mother as Prince Cheng, and Princess Kejing, who was also a cousin of Prince Heng and the ninth prince.

Princess Kejing was a powerful person. When the late emperor was still alive, she became the actual ruler of Mobei and even built a princess city in Mobei for herself to live in.

Yi Xin only mentioned that if Princess Kejing's heir could grow up in the capital, Mobei would surely be controlled by the court forever.

The emperor was moved by Yi Xin's advice as soon as he heard it. He paid for the construction of a princess's mansion for Princess Kejing out of his own pocket and invited Princess Kejing to return to Beijing to live and enjoy her old age.

As for Princess Rongxian, she was purely incidental. After all, the other two princesses of the late emperor who were still alive had returned. If she had not returned, not only would she have speculations, but even Princess Rongxian's husband's family would have speculations.
