Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1137 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 63

Before Moge left, Princess Chaogui's husband had been decided. He was Yue Xing'a, the nephew of the Imperial Concubine and the eldest son of Longkodo.

Tong Jia had married a princess before. She was the only one of the five princesses who lived to adulthood and was raised by the late emperor's biological mother. The bride was also the eldest grandson of Tong Guowei. Unfortunately, the Tong Jia clan was very powerful at that time. Even though the late emperor gave up a daughter for the sake of Tong Jia's future because they were his maternal family, he could not resist the pride of the Tong Jia clan. The fifth princess lived an unhappy life after marriage and finally died of heatstroke in the Rehe Palace.

Logically speaking, Big Fat Ju should not send another sister into the Tonggiya clan, but the bargaining chips given by the Imperial Concubine made Concubine Chen and Princess Chaogui really satisfied.

After discussing with her nephew Yue Xing'a, the Imperial Concubine promised not to keep a concubine and not to take a concubine before the age of 40. The most important thing was that Yue Xing'a no longer had any serious elders to pressure him. After marrying Princess Chaogui, she would become the head of the Tonggiya clan.

Although this power may seem small, it is actually a good guarantee.

Concubine Chen herself did not expect Yue Xing'a to achieve much. The glory accumulated by the Tonggiya clan over the years was enough to protect the next generation of the Tonggiya clan. Princess Chaogui's marriage would only make the Tonggiya clan more glorious, and Princess Chaogui herself would only be respected by the current Tonggiya clan.

Although Longkodo was not a good person, Yue Xing'a was not bad, even if he was a little gentle. Princess Chaogui thought he was good, so Jiang Xinxin didn't say anything. She just told Princess Chaogui, "If Yue Xing'a is willing to confide in you, don't push him away because of some rules. No matter what it is, even if it's a coincidence, it's better than nothing."

Princess Chaogui looked at Jiang Xinxin, who was smiling gently, and had a question she really wanted to ask, but she kept her mouth shut as she thought about the death of the eldest prince Honghui.

Jiang Xinxin understood why Princess Chaogui was hesitant to speak. It was rare for her to be willing to speak openly to a girl who was about to enter marriage: "Princess, you may feel that my marriage seems to have nothing to look forward to except the position of queen, so I hope that the princess can carefully experience the relationship between men and women."

Princess Chao Gui realized later that Jiang Xinxin didn't mean that, but she couldn't figure out what Jiang Xinxin meant.

Jiang Xinxin smiled and said, "I am advising the princess to experience more, make more mistakes, and explore the world more while you are still young."

"The princess is the youngest daughter of the late emperor. Even if the late emperor cannot protect you now, this identity alone is enough to save you from having to bow down to many people. No one really cares about the relationship between you and your husband, especially for those men. Your identity as a princess only represents royal blood and more convenient contact with the palace."

"Besides, things like identity, bloodline, talent, and ability may not necessarily be useful, but they are not useless either."

Princess Chaogui was not some naive girl. It was true that she was a little girl who was almost sent to Junggar to marry an old man in his sixties, but she was also a princess who grew up successfully in the harem.

Although Concubine Chen wanted to help her remove all obstacles, after all, her rank was not high and she was not favored in the late emperor's harem. The first thing Princess Chaogui had to face was the malicious nanny and the wet nurse who gradually changed her mind.

As for the previous dynasty, as the compensation continued to increase, Mog also got the news he wanted. The Qing Dynasty might not take the initiative to go to war, but it did not have the energy to continue fighting, so five years was the lifeline for Junggar.

But Moge forgot that he was not the legitimate Khan of Dzungar yet, but only the one with the greatest hope of ascending to the throne. So after escaping several ambushes on the way back, he eventually died on Dzungar soil due to infection with an epidemic.

The best part is that although Moge is bedridden, he is well protected by his trusted followers, while the Qing Dynasty is waiting for the news of Moge's death.

The Qing Dynasty was eyeing Dzungar covetously, but Tibet could not help but become restless, especially since the assassination of the Panchen Lama had just occurred during the previous emperor's reign. Although there was no obvious resistance to the Qing Dynasty's rule within Tibet, the right to confer titles on the Panchen Lama had already been returned to the imperial court during the previous emperor's reign, and this was undoubtedly a provocation to the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, this time when sending troops to Junggar, there were still two routes, one running parallel to Sichuan and the other running parallel to Qinghai, passing through Tibet.

After Princess Chaogui's marriage was finalized, Dapangju intended to win over the Mongolian tribes, especially the large tribes in the south of the desert. He didn't want any more Mongolian women into the palace, so he could only send princesses or daughters of the royal family out to marry.

But Jiang Xinxin pointed out another way for Big Fat Orange: "Your Majesty, there can only be one ruler in each Mongolian tribe, and the rest have to rely on the ruler to survive. Those whose mothers are slightly weaker can't even get some cattle, sheep, or better horse farms. Let's not just focus on those in power, but look at those who can't survive in Mongolia."

Big Fat Orange had never thought of this idea before, "But those people don't have much power, how can they be worthy of the princess and the royal family's daughter to marry them?"

Jiang Xinxin was speechless, but could only smile and explain further: "What I mean is, let those people come to live in the capital. When the time comes, whether it is marrying a princess, marrying a royal family member, or simply commanding the daughter of a minister, it will be suitable."

Big Fat Orange finally understood what Jiang Xinxin meant, which was that she just didn't want to send her woman out to marry.

But this is indeed a new idea. When Big Fat Orange mentioned it to the royal family, Ninth Prince agreed first: "Your Majesty, the Queen's suggestion is very good. My brother's family has two legitimate daughters who are of marriageable age. Please allow me to set an example!"

Marrying a princess into Mongolia but living in the capital after marriage, who would object to such a good thing?

Even if you don’t have a daughter, you will definitely have a granddaughter!

Everyone present here is a smart person. Even though we are only talking about the marriage right now, can't the Qing Dynasty send people to help manage the man's pastures and cattle and sheep?

If this continues, the Qing Dynasty will still be the Qing Dynasty, but Mongolia may no longer be Mongolia.

Prince Heng and many Mongolian women married in Beijing successively passed the news to Mongolia. Without exception, they were all about the royal family preparing to marry off a group of royal family women, and the first choice was those Mongolian dignitaries with little power. And living in the capital after marriage was really very attractive to many Mongolian dignitaries.

The Mongolian nobles do not have to graze the sheep themselves, but the natural environment in various parts of Mongolia is not as good as that in the Qing Dynasty. It would be fine if they had power and pastures, but would those who are only nobles in name really consider Mongolia wholeheartedly?

Even though people with foresight thought that these people would be sent to the Qing Dynasty as hostages, there were more people who were interested, so Mongolia quickly approved the proposal. The first batch of candidates who signed up for the marriage even included the sons or grandsons of several princesses who had been married there before.
