The life of a man on the road of film and television
Chapter 193 Zhen Huan 69
As the New Year approached, Junggar sent New Year gifts as usual, but unlike usual, this time the envoys brought news of a request for marriage.
Because Yongzheng now has many more brothers who are close to him than in the original plot, he did not go to the women in the harem to "discuss" this time. Instead, he called Prince Rui, Prince Dun and Prince Yi to ask for their opinions, as well as Yinqi and Jinzhong who were brought along for the occasion.
"How shameless! A small tribe dares to ask for the marriage of our Qing Dynasty's legitimate princess. Brother, please send me the troops and I will destroy him."
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, after hearing what Yongzheng said, Prince Dun immediately became angry and yelled angrily. This was in front of Yongzheng. He had been taught by his ninth brother not to be presumptuous, otherwise he would have slammed the table.
"Old Ten, don't be impulsive"
Seeing his younger brother being as impulsive as usual, Prince Rui glanced over and quickly stopped Prince Dun, who was jumping in anger. Immediately, Prince Dun sat back in his seat and went to drink tea as if his lifeblood was strangled.
After making sure that Prince Dun had calmed down, Prince Rui pondered for a moment before speaking.
"I think it's because of the marriage of the Queen Sister Lan Qi that their appetite has been whetted."
Speaking of this, Prince Yi became furious, and the letter that Sister Lan Qi had sent back flashed through his mind.
"What kind of life is Sister Lanqi living in Junggar? She was a princess but they humiliated her and she became a concubine. Do we have to marry a sister to them to be humiliated by them?"
"It is because I know what happened to Lan Qi that I called several of my brothers here to discuss this matter. Prince Rui, if we send out troops now, will the Ministry of Revenue have enough money to spend?"
In fact, according to Yongzheng's thoughts, he did not want to send troops if the problem could be solved by marrying a woman, but he could not issue a direct order on this matter, lest he would be given a reputation of being cold and indifferent.
"There is enough left in the treasury, but there was a severe drought last year, so it is inevitable that there will be some shortage of food and fodder for the troops to send out now."
No one wanted to marry their sisters to that impoverished place, but being in a high position one had to give priority to national affairs. The most important things in a war were food and weapons, and being in the Ministry of Revenue, Prince Rui had to tell the truth.
After he finished speaking, they looked at each other in bewilderment. They couldn't let the people cut back on food and clothing just because of the war.
The hall suddenly fell silent because of this. Yin Qi and Jin Zhong, who were teaching them how to play the zither, looked at each other and began to whisper casually. Although they were whispering, their voices were unusually clear in this quiet hall.
"I don't know which sister she's going to marry this time. I saw the eighteenth sister get married before, but she cried for three or four months."
"Why did you cry for so long?"
As soon as Yinqi finished speaking, Jinzhong quickly pretended to be innocent and asked.
"I heard from the nanny that getting married is very complicated. For people like us, it takes a year or two to prepare. It's so troublesome. Jinzhong, we won't get married in the future. I don't want to cry for so long."
"it is good"
The two children's childish talk made everyone in the hall laugh secretly, but when Prince Yi heard this, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
"This reminds me, my brother, we can just use the wedding preparations as an excuse. After all, it's the royal daughter getting married, so we must not be careless."
As soon as he said this, Yongzheng and the others' eyes lit up and their minds started to work wildly.
"Yes, my Royal Brother, we can use this as an excuse to delay time. After the envoys leave, there is no need for us to marry our sisters off. We can find a willing girl in the royal family and marry her off to our Royal Brother. Jungar won't dare to say anything.
If they have complaints, by the time this year's grain is almost here, we can let them see how powerful the Qing Dynasty's firearms and elite soldiers are."
After listening to Prince Yi's words, Prince Rui suddenly had an idea and immediately proposed a new plan.
"Yes, I am willing to send troops when the time comes."
As soon as his ninth brother finished speaking, Prince Dun immediately took over.
"Okay, okay, my brothers are worthy of being the pillars of the Qing Dynasty. Hahahaha, Li Dequan, go and summon the Minister of Rites and Zhang Tingyu over."
What Yongzheng wanted to see most was that this matter could achieve this result. With a heavy stone lifted from his mind, Yongzheng happily gave the order.
"嗻"
Li Dequan, who had been waiting at the door, received the order and hurriedly went out to find someone to summon the two adults.
The important matter was resolved, and the four brothers relaxed. Since Yongzheng did not ask them to leave, Prince Rui and his two brothers had no choice but to stay and chat with Yongzheng. Prince Yi was fine, as he had a good relationship with Yongzheng and went in and out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation almost every day.
Prince Rui and Prince Dun were feeling very uneasy. They were hostile to Yongzheng before, especially Prince Rui. Although he did not intervene in Li Jingui's affairs, he did not stop the myna from taking action at that time.
So later, when all the brothers were released by Kangxi, although Prince Lian was employed, he was not liked by the emperor. Prince Rui originally thought that he would be the same as Prince Dun and would not be favored by the emperor.
However, he did not expect that apart from being on guard against the Eighth Brother, Yongzheng was very nice to him and the Tenth Prince. This made Prince Rui feel touched and guilty. Of course, it was okay for him to work wholeheartedly for Yongzheng, but asking him to get along closely with Yongzheng like Prince Yi, Prince Rui was a little at a loss.
Prince Dun simply didn't like staying in such a high-pressure place. He wanted to go back to his own horse farm to ride horses during this time. But seeing that his ninth brother didn't say anything, Prince Dun forced himself to endure it no matter how uneasy he was.
Seeing that Yongzheng had made the decision on Chaogui's matter, Yinqi breathed a sigh of relief. In that era, women had a low status. Although he was of noble status, he could not change everyone's minds. All he could do was to help wherever he saw a way.
Seeing Yinqi's cautious look, Jinzhong squeezed the other's hand soothingly. When Zhang Tingyu and others arrived and saw that he was not there, Yinqi found an excuse to take Jinzhong away from the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
The purpose of his coming here today was for Chao Gui's matter. Now that this matter has been resolved, there is no need for him to stay here any longer.
Not long after the two men left, Yongzheng's edict came out. After the eunuch who announced the edict left, the Junggar envoy who received the imperial edict slumped down on the chair behind him in dejection.
They came to the Qing Dynasty to ask for marriage, firstly to test the attitude of the Qing Emperor, and secondly to bring good luck to their old Khan. Unexpectedly, although the marriage was granted, the wedding date was far away, which made their plan fall through in an instant, and the matter did not end there.
Everyone in their tribe knew that the old Khan could not hold on for long. Now that this was the result, if they urged him, the Qing Emperor would discover the trick.
But if he did nothing, when the news of the old Khan's death reached the Qing Dynasty, the Qing emperor would immediately understand their intentions.
By then, coupled with their crazy attempts to test the Qing Dynasty in recent years, I wonder how bad their relationship with the Qing Dynasty will be.
