Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 133 4th Master's Backyard is involved in the daily life 58 (end)

After the Queen Mother's funeral, everything returned to normal.

Yinzhen and Le Shu continued to be busy.

As for Hongxu, his relationship with Zhang Ruoqing is getting better and better.

In the eighteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, Hongxu got engaged to Zhang Ruoqing, which caused an uproar in the court. It was not because of Zhang Ruoqing's status, but because of her identity, the Han Chinese.

For the Manchu nobles, their identity as Manchus has always been their pride. A true Manchu bannerman, even if he did not work, could still get money to spend to ensure that he would not starve to death.

Even if Yinzhen wanted to, he couldn't abolish this rule for the time being.

Manchus and Han people do not intermarry; this is their bottom line. But now, the chosen future emperor has chosen a pure Han woman as his wife. To them, this is simply ridiculous.

The Manchus, including the Niuhuru, Guwalgiya, and Nara clans, submitted memorials one after another, expressing their disagreement.

In response, Yinzhen threw out a survey document on the harm of inbreeding and said: "I am doing this for the future of the Qing Dynasty. Manchus and Han people do not intermarry, and internal marriages will not benefit our descendants at all.

If you don't believe me, you can go back and check for yourself. I'm not lying. You want your children to become more and more stupid, but I don't want that. Go back now!"

How should I put it? It makes sense. He did it for the future of the Qing Dynasty, although it's a bit far-fetched.

Nowadays, the custom of intermarriage between high-ranking families in the Qing Dynasty is prevalent, and it is common for relatives to marry each other. As for choosing a daughter-in-law from among these people, Yinzhen said that it is not possible, absolutely not possible.

As soon as the investigation documents came out, the Manchus became obedient and went back home to investigate.

The key point is that Yinzhen's document also scared the Han officials.

When Zhang Tingyu heard this in the court, his face turned pale. You know, his family was a hard-hit area for inbreeding, and for several generations in a row they had been married to the Yao family of Maci.

Thinking of his wife, Yao, who died early due to complications during childbirth, the two of them were cousins. Although they were not blood relatives, they were not very distantly related.

And his son's engagement...

The more he thought about it, the uglier his face became.

The Han people in particular place great importance on the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. If a child is born from a marriage between close relatives, even if there is nothing wrong with the child, the child will be dumber than ordinary children. If this continues for a long time, the family business will probably fail.

Yinzhen looked at the ugly faces of both Manchu and Han officials and felt satisfied and relieved.

"Retreat!"

Then the capital city became lively, and soon after, the Qing Dynasty also became lively, and there were countless cancellations of engagements from all over the country.

As for the selection of Mrs. Hongxu, no one said anything more.

It is a contradiction to advocate that Manchus and Han people are one family on the one hand, while on the other hand Manchus and Han people do not intermarry.

Yinzhen had no way to resolve the conflict all at once, but what he could do was to ease the conflict and allow the Manchus and Han people to achieve national integration without their knowledge.

This process cannot be solved in one generation.

In the autumn of the eighteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, Hongxu got married and was conferred the title of prince.

Immediately, the second prince Hongyun was conferred the title of Prince. Prior to this, he was a Beile and had already been married, but due to his weak health, he had no children.

The third prince was previously a Beizi, and this time he was conferred the title of Beile. Yinzhen could never feel free from any grudges towards this son. He had been married for a long time, and his wife was Dong E, and he had children. Knowing that he had no chance of competing, he lived a much more comfortable life than in his previous life.

Towards the end of the year, Zhang Ruoqing became pregnant.

At the same time, news came from the Imperial Hospital that Empress Jingren Palace was not in good health and might not survive the New Year, so she asked to see the Emperor.

Yinzhen left.

Excessive worry is Ulanara's symptom.

Even the imperial physician, with his superb medical skills, could not cure her illness, which was a mental illness.

"Your Majesty, you are here."

"Well, what do you want to say?"

"I don't know either. I just feel that I haven't spoken to the emperor for a long time. I just want to see the emperor. It's rare that the queen is willing to let the emperor come."

Yinzhen frowned: "The Queen never interferes with what I do."

She laughed at herself: "Yes, it was all His Majesty's own will. In fact, I am curious, how can I be inferior to Chang Leshu? He has been favoring her for twenty years, and he only drinks from one of the three thousand rivers. His Majesty is really infatuated with her! It is really enviable."

"You two are different. You are good, and she is good, but some things are beyond our control."

Yinzhen didn't hate Ulanara in his life, it's just that what he wanted to do was contrary to what she wanted, and people with different ideals cannot work together. That's how it is.

What Ulanara did in her life could only mean that there were some things he didn't like, but that didn't mean she was wrong.

What lies between them is time, hundreds of years of time, not Le Shu.

He has changed, but she hasn't.

Ulanara looked sad: "The emperor is much gentler and more patient than before. If he was like this when I first met him, I am afraid I would not be able to tolerate Li and others at that time. She is Chang Leshu, and I can't hate her even if I want to."

Because she was smart, she understood smartly that Yinzhen was changing, becoming better, more gentle, and more worthy of a woman's love. She liked the current emperor more and more, but his change came from another woman.

This was so tragic for Ulanara that she couldn't even hate him. She couldn't convince herself or deceive herself into hating Le Shu or doing vicious things to her.

So she trapped herself, day after day, and ultimately ended up destroying herself.

Yinzhen was more patient with Ulanara: "The imperial physician said that you have a heart disease. If you are not comfortable in the palace, you should leave the palace, walk more, and see more of the outside world."

Ulanara smiled gently: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will not go out. If there is an afterlife, I still want to enter Your Majesty's backyard. I want to know if our ending will be different if I wear the clothes designed by Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please go. I am sleepy and want to sleep."

She doesn't want to live anymore, she is too tired.

The next day after Yinzhen left, news came from Jingren Palace that Concubine Xian had died.

Ulanara died earlier than historically reported.

She was given the utmost honor after her death, which was the last dignity that Yinzhen could give her. However, this was different from what happened in history. In history, she was the queen when she was alive, but she did not receive the proper dignity after her death, and her funeral could be said to be rather perfunctory.

After Ulanara's death, Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh: "In the blink of an eye, I'm going to be fifty, I'm getting old."

Le Shu looked at his well-maintained face. Time actually favors men more. Le Shu still looks the same. On the one hand, it’s because she takes good care of herself and everything goes well for her. On the other hand, there is a sign-in system, which provides something to maintain youth and delay aging from time to time.

"Don't let your brothers hear this, they will definitely want to beat you up."

Except for a few who had nothing to do, all of Yinzhen's younger brothers were forced to work by Yinzhen. After working day and night, they no longer had their former carefree demeanor and each of them looked like eggplants beaten by wind and frost.

Compared with Yinzhen, Yinzhen can be said to still have charm.

Le Shu felt that he was a man of unique charm now that he was older, and their relationship became even better.

Yinzhen smiled. This life was indeed different from the last. He didn't have to worry about the fight for the throne, and he didn't have to think day and night about how to keep the Qing dynasty going for a longer time...

With Le Shu's company and many capable people around him, although he is still diligent, he will no longer force himself to be tense all the time.

"Le Shu, in another ten years, when Hong Xu is able to take on the responsibility, I will abdicate and we will go sightseeing around this beautiful land together!"

People say he loves staying at home, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like to go out. He had no money in his previous life, and he has a lot to carry in this life, so he's not in the mood.

The Qing Dynasty is now thriving, and he is not sure what the future will be like, but he has done everything he can, and at least the people will not suffer so much in the future.

Holding great power is indeed attractive, but he is tired and his heart is no longer young.

"Okay, come to think of it, I have never been out of the capital. When the time comes, you will be the emperor and I will be the empress, and we will go on secret visits with people to settle all injustices and see all the beautiful sights in the world."

Ten years later, Yinzhen abdicated and Hongxu succeeded him.

On the outskirts of the capital, several horse-drawn carriages slowly moved away, heading towards the freedom far away.
