Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

At this time, the royal family came forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Xin Prince's Mansion has never done anything wrong, and Yutong Prince has made outstanding military achievements. How can we deprive him of his hereditary rights? We will never agree to this!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, those Han people died because they were dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty's rule over the world. How can they be considered victims? Building tombs and monuments for them will damage the face and reputation of the Qing Dynasty!"

Honghui waved his robe and stood up. "I won't talk about the past, but that doesn't mean I don't know! Now that I have made a decision, I want to slowly eliminate the past hatred and use a mere hereditary power to appease the dead souls. I have already shown mercy, what else do you want me to do?"

"But……"

"Don't talk about the face and reputation of the Qing Dynasty. I only know one truth, that is, karma will come true! How do you know that the end of Dorgon and Duoduo in the past was not due to excessive killing? I have to consider the fate of the Qing Dynasty and this dragon vein.

National hatred and family feuds are allowed, but we cannot let the souls of the dead curse the Qing Dynasty’s destruction and extinction every day in the underground!

I am the ruler of the Qing Dynasty. Manchus and Han Chinese are all my subjects. So, do you think my decision is right or wrong?"

This speech, which was half sincere and half meant to win people's hearts, made everyone silent. The Manchu officials were depressed, the Han officials were distracted, the royal family was unwilling, and the kings had a dazed look on their faces as if they had gained experience.

Seeing this, Honghui suddenly smiled and said, "Although I intend to issue an order, since some people disagree, how about we discuss it again tomorrow?"

The Han officials were no longer distracted and all of them dissuaded him in unison, "Your Majesty, no, the longer it takes, the more changes there will be..."

"What about my previous decrees?"

Huh? Is this the real purpose? The Han officials wanted to refuse outright, but compared with shaving their heads and changing their clothes, the remarriage of widows, the establishment of female households, and the abolition of the hierarchy of scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans seemed less important. After all, culture is the root and soul of the Han people!

"Your Majesty is wise, and we have no objection!" There was no choice but to accept it. Otherwise, they would lose this great opportunity. They were afraid that their ancestors and descendants would scold them! What would they scold? Of course, they would scold them for being "ungrateful"!

As for the Manchus, each one was more silent than the other, and most of them wanted to go back and ask for an audience with the retired emperor. There was no other reason, because the current emperor was determined to abolish the order to shave the hair and change clothes, and only the retired emperor could stop it.

Unexpectedly, the retired emperor used the excuse of being ill to avoid seeing anyone. The Manchu officials and clan members then realized that even if the retired emperor and the current emperor did not agree, they all approved of the current emperor's decisions, and it was so before and it is still so now.

Just, Emperor Taizong, can you stop being so blind to the present? The father is the leader of the son, the father is the leader of the son, you are not valuing him, but favoring him to the point of having no bottom line!

Amid the groans of the Manchus and the eager anticipation of the Han people, Emperor Zhaotai announced to the world that the order to shave the hair and change clothes would be abolished.

After the imperial edict was announced, Emperor Zhaotai took the lead in cutting off his braids, leaving only one-inch short hair at the back of his head. Although the front of his head was still bald, he looked very refreshing. All the civil and military officials immediately understood the benefits of this. Well, it was so easy to manage!

Then all the Han officials and common people followed Emperor Zhaotai's example and only left an inch of hair behind their heads, instead of the long hair of the previous Ming Dynasty.

As for the Manchu officials and royal family members, when the braids of the Han officials in the court were only half cut, they could not help but follow suit. Seeing that Emperor Zhaotai and the Supreme Emperor did not stop them, the Manchus in various places also cut their braids one after another. It can be seen that they already had complaints about the so-called braids in their hearts.

As for clothing, court officials had to wear court robes when attending court, but when they returned home, they could wear whatever strange clothes they pleased. The concubines in the harem took the lead in wearing Hanfu, and many gorgeous clothes were made, which became popular among the people for a time.

Perhaps the abolition of the order to shave the hair and change clothes and the appeasement of the dead souls touched the sore spot of the Han people, and the people tacitly kept the previous decrees secret and did not mention them, and no one opposed it anymore.

They all thought that the emperor would give them face, and they also had to save face for the emperor!

……

After July of the first year of Zhaotai, Emperor Zhaotai was very well-behaved for a while and did not cause any major trouble.

In the autumn of the second year, Emperor Zhaotai issued an edict, ordering all departments to revise the "Great Qing Code", incorporating all previous plans. It took two full years to produce a set of "Great Qing Code" that was completely unrecognizable.

By the time the Great Qing Code was completed, all the court officials who participated in its revision were exhausted both physically and mentally. The reason for this was that Emperor Zhaotai made too many demands, some of which were particularly excessive!

There are so many things that they cannot understand, such as "a woman cannot get married if she has no children", "a woman who beats her husband is subject to the same punishment as a man", and "the number of concubines is linked to the official position, and it is not allowed to have more concubines than the quota".

But the Emperor insisted on doing so, and he was always eloquent, so what could they do? They could only keep talking until they added it up unconsciously. He was really as fierce as a tiger in his operation, but when he looked back, he was just an idiot.

Honghui himself was too lazy to pay attention to the complicated thoughts of the court officials. In the past two years, he had been busy dealing with state affairs, taking care of his son, and serving his parents. He had a lot of things to do!

By the end of the fourth year of Zhaotai, the population of the Qing Dynasty officially exceeded 210 million, and the court did not have much land to allocate to male and female households for cultivation. He first proposed the issue of immigration in the court.

In the summer of the fifth year, the Oriental Navy sent troops to Japan to help its monarch pacify the shogunate. It took half a year to set up a foreign office in the country, and stationed a minister and a variety of soldiers in Japan to provide security guarantees.

In the spring of the sixth year, the South China Sea Navy and the Western Navy patrolled the four seas, intimidated various countries, occupied uninhabited areas, and searched for land suitable for planting.

In the summer of the sixth year, more than 5,000 prisoners, disabled soldiers, poor and lowly people left the Qing Dynasty where they were born and raised and moved to Japan.

At the end of the sixth year, Emperor Zhaotai issued an edict banning prostitution, gambling, and the use of elixirs, and ordered all brothels and gambling houses to close and stop doing business, and to change their occupations. Anyone who violated the edict would be severely punished!

In the spring of the seventh year, Emperor Zhaotai was assassinated in the capital, but fortunately he was unharmed and all the assassins were captured. After that, the bloody storm in Caishikou lasted for a whole month.

In the summer of the seventh year, the Qing army marched into the Tianshan Mountains and took two years to pacify the Hui people and the remaining Junggar forces.

Then, in the autumn of the seventh year, Prince Yongrui of Qi led tens of thousands of people to immigrate overseas and established foreign vassal states in overseas areas.

Yongrui left the Qing Dynasty on a cloudless day. When he left, Fucha Huimin almost fainted from crying. "Yongrui, mother is not around, you have to take good care of yourself, don't be stubborn, and write back for help if you encounter any trouble..."

Yongrui was full of confidence at one moment, but also reluctant at another, "Empress Mother..."

Honghui comforted him at the right time: "My dear child, this journey is difficult and dangerous. I hope you are safe and sound. When you succeed, I will welcome you back."

"Father, I leave my wife and children to you. When I am settled, I will come back to pick them up! As for the Royal Father and Royal Mother, they are not feeling well. Please say goodbye to them on my behalf and say, 'Grandson is leaving first. Please take care, Royal Father and Royal Mother!'"

"Okay, okay, I will take good care of your family and will also pass on my message. It's getting late, let's go early." Although she was reluctant to let her son go, her son had to pursue his career in the future, and he was not the only one, so she let those who wanted to leave go. A friend in need is a friend indeed! !

"Second brother, Yongrui, you must take good care of yourself!" "Second brother..."

Amid the voices of farewell, the carriage slowly started moving away.

Until there was only a black shadow left in his sight, Honghui looked up with mixed feelings. Just at this moment, a wisp of smoke floated over. Thinking of the past, he smiled slowly and said, "Let's go back to the palace."

The road ahead will definitely not be smooth, but he will not shrink back, so let's go and embark on a new journey!
