Chapter 318 Consort Fucha
Chapter 318 Consort Fucha
A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; even a princess is no exception.
Princess Chaogui thought of Wang Zhaojun, who was sent to marry a foreign ruler.
After Wang Zhaojun's first husband died
Wang Zhaojun wrote to Emperor Cheng of Han requesting to return to Han territory, but was told she should "follow the customs of the Hu people."
Therefore, she had no choice but to remarry Fuzhulei Chanyu, the eldest son of Huhanye Chanyu.
However, Fuzhulei Chanyu's reign was not long.
After Fuzhulei Chanyu's death, Wang Zhaojun was filled with helplessness and sorrow.
She wrote to Emperor Cheng of Han again, requesting permission to return to the Han Dynasty.
However, Emperor Cheng of Han's reply was still to let her "follow the customs of the Hu" and continue to stay in the Xiongnu.
Wang Zhaojun was filled with disappointment and despair, and died of illness.
Compared to Wang Zhaojun, Princess Chaogui felt much luckier.
Although she was casually sent to the Dzungar Khanate by her fourth brother at the time of the marriage alliance.
But she had a lot of help from her master, Fucha Peiyun.
This allowed her to quickly establish herself in Dzungar.
Upon returning to Beijing this time, he received even more care and courtesy.
They even planned to build her a princess's palace so she wouldn't have to return to Dzungar.
This deeply moved Princess Chaogui.
This also allowed Princess Chaogui to see the strength of the Qing Dynasty.
Staying in the capital is indeed an attractive suggestion.
But for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and Amur, it would be best for her to return to Dzungar.
Princess Chaogui was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said:
“Sister-in-law, I understand your and the Emperor’s intentions, and I really want to stay in the capital.”
My family is here; it's more prosperous than Dzungar.
I really want to stay in Beijing, but I've been there for so many years.
I've also built up some connections and influence. If I stay in Junggar,
Perhaps I can do more for the Qing Dynasty.
This will also better protect the interests of Amur and our Great Qing Dynasty.
After listening to Princess Chaogui's words, Fucha Peiyun remained silent for a while.
Then he nodded slightly and said:
“Sister, I understand your thoughts.”
You are thinking of the Qing Dynasty and Amur, and I respect your decision.
You must be extra careful in Dzungar.
If you encounter any difficulties, please let us know immediately, and we will do our best to help you.
Princess Chaogui smiled slightly and said:
"Sister-in-law, don't worry."
I will be careful.
Moreover, I would feel more at ease if Amur stayed in the capital.
With you all taking care of him, I believe he will definitely learn a lot in Beijing.
I held onto Almu's position in the Dzungar Khanate, and from then on, Almu would be there.
"The Dzungars and the Qing Dynasty will surely maintain peace forever."
Fucha Peiyun was not surprised to hear this; the Qing Dynasty was making peace through marriage alliances with various Mongol tribes.
The hope was that the Qing princess would give birth to an heir for one of the Mongol tribes.
Through these successors, control was gained over the various Mongol tribes.
Fucha Peiyun held Princess Chaogui's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, the Qing Dynasty will always be your and your child's support."
It's too late today, and you must be tired.
The princess's residence has been renovated. How do you feel about staying there, little sister?
Princess Chaogui smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law, then I shall respectfully comply."
The princess's residence is very nice; it's a good opportunity for me to revisit it.
Fucha Peiyun nodded, "That's good. The princess residences of Shuhe and Wenyi have already been built."
But they were used to living together in a lively atmosphere, so they continued to stay at the princess's residence.
They really admire you, their aunt.
Now that you're back, they'll probably bother you often.
Princess Chaogui said, "I welcome them very much. I heard they've set up a textile factory and also... the Qing Dynasty People's Daily?"
I'm much more capable than him.
I guess these were all your ideas, sister-in-law.
Fucha Peiyun nodded, "I only started; the others all relied on their own efforts."
Princess Chaogui smiled slightly and said:
"Sister-in-law, you are truly omnipotent."
I'm going to really get to see these new things this time.
Princess Chaogui knew that these were messages sent to her by her mother's people.
She didn't tell Mogti a single thing about these changes in the Qing Dynasty in Dzungar Khanate.
Fucha Peiyun said, "Once you've rested enough, I'll take you to see their textile factory."
The fabrics there are the pride of our Great Qing Dynasty; they are not only of superior quality but also feature novel patterns.
There was also the "Da Qing Bai Xing Bao" (People's Daily of the Qing Dynasty), which, although just starting out, already had a considerable number of people who enjoyed reading it.
If you have any good ideas, you can also help with planning and strategy.
Princess Chaogui is "good".
Fucha Peiyun said, "Alright, you must be tired today. I'll have Ye'er take you to the princess's quarters to rest."
Princess Chaogui is "good".
Led by Fu Heng, Moge and the others left the palace.
Throughout the journey, Moge tried to extract some details about the Qing Dynasty from Fuheng.
But Fu Heng simply answered some unimportant questions with neither servility nor arrogance.
Regarding the military and political issues that Mogg truly cared about...
However, they always cleverly avoided the topic by saying "His Majesty has his own arrangements" or "This is a secret of the Qing Dynasty."
Mog was secretly annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
He knew that none of the officials in the Qing Dynasty were easy to deal with.
It is by no means easy to get useful information from them.
However, Mogg did not leave empty-handed.
From Fuheng's words and actions, he sensed the confidence and composure of the Qing Dynasty.
This led him to speculate about the strength of the Qing Dynasty.
Seeing Moge's repeated probing, Fu Heng casually remarked...
"It's quite a coincidence that the Great Khan has come to the capital this time. The Qing Dynasty has rebuilt the Eight Banners Army, the Green Standard Army, and the Firearms Battalion."
They are preparing for a large-scale military exercise.
The Great Khan can witness this grand event in a few days.
Mogg was startled, but on the surface he remained calm.
Oh, what a coincidence, how perfect!
This Khan is eager to witness the heroic bearing of the Great Qing Baturu.
This military exercise is sure to be very exciting, and I, the Khan, will certainly watch it closely.
Fu Heng smiled slightly and said:
"The Great Khan will certainly find this trip worthwhile."
Mog thought to himself, "This arrangement by the Qing Emperor..."
Was it another attempt to intimidate him and show him the might of the Qing Dynasty?
Yellow-mouthed children, with many tricks up their sleeves.
However, Mogg was not someone to be trifled with.
He wanted to see just how powerful the Qing Dynasty really was.
Is it really that powerful?
Fu Heng escorted Moge and his party to the post station, arranged their lodgings, and then took his leave.
As Mog watched Fu Heng's departing figure, a sense of doubt crept into his heart.
This Fu Heng is so young, yet so calm and experienced.
It seems that the Qing Dynasty has produced a wealth of talented young people who should not be underestimated.
Mogg returned to his room, dismissed the servants, and finally, unable to contain himself any longer, slammed his fist on the table.
His repeated setbacks on his trip to Beijing really infuriated him.
He sat on the edge of the bed, his heart filled with anger and resentment.
He originally thought that this trip to Beijing would allow him to probe the true strength of the Qing Dynasty.
They even took the opportunity to secure some benefits for the Dzungar Khanate.
However, things took an unexpected turn.
Not only did his plans fail time and time again,
Instead, he was repeatedly tricked by the Qing emperor and empress dowager, and even lost face in front of others.
Mogg thought about how he had knelt before the young emperor of the Qing Dynasty in front of everyone.
His veins were bulging, and his fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.
His knees inexplicably started hurting in the palace; it's highly likely that a skilled assassin was behind it.
When did the Qing emperor acquire such a master?
After thinking about it, he decided he still had to get his revenge.
This is a good opportunity to test whether the young emperor truly has a master by his side.
How many of these masters are there?
Only after making up his mind did Mogg go to bed.
The next morning, as soon as Mogg got up, he had someone call all the staff who had accompanied him to his room to discuss the matter.
The group quickly made arrangements, and Fu Heng then came over to invite Moge and the others to a banquet at the palace.
"Great Khan, His Majesty has been holding a banquet in the palace and has been waiting for you and your entourage for quite some time."
Mog snorted coldly, his face showing some displeasure, but he still stood up and said:
"Let's go to the banquet."
The group followed Fu Heng into the palace.
Today, the palace is brightly lit and bustling with activity. Palace servants are busy setting up the banquet.
Fu Heng led Moge and his party to the banquet hall, where Hongchang was already waiting in the seat of honor.
Seeing Mog and the others enter, Hongchang stood up, smiled slightly, and said:
"Your Majesty, you must be tired from your journey. Let us have a good drink today."
Mog nodded slightly, but in his heart he was calculating how to probe the Qing Dynasty's strength today.
At the banquet, there was a dazzling array of fine wines and delicacies, accompanied by melodious music.
Hongchang and Moge, among others, raised their glasses in a toast, the atmosphere seemingly harmonious, but undercurrents were actually swirling beneath the surface.
Mogg sipped his drink, lost in thought.
He accidentally choked on the alcohol and started coughing violently.
Mog didn't expect this liquor to be so strong.
He'd drunk Qing Dynasty liquor before, but when did they start making such strong liquor?
Upon seeing this, Hongchang immediately asked with concern:
"Sir, are you alright? Drink some water and calm down."
As he spoke, he ordered someone to bring a glass of water and hand it to Mogg.
Mogg took the water glass and managed to calm himself down.
"When did the Qing Dynasty have such strong liquor? It's a rare find."
