Although every step the emperor takes now is unexpected, the concubines in the harem are all confused by Concubine Duan's sudden change. You must know that Concubine Duan was a master who had been hiding and waiting to die.
After the emperor officially issued a decree to confer Concubine Duan as the imperial concubine, it immediately caused a huge sensation among the women in the harem, and the most excited one was Queen Uranala Yixiu.
"Jianqiu, what is going on? Why did Concubine Duan suddenly turn over?" Ulanara Yixiu looked at her confidant in disbelief. At this time, she really couldn't understand why the emperor came to concubine Duan. Purpose.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor went to Concubine Duan's palace yesterday." In fact, Jian Qiu guessed that the Emperor wanted to check and balance the Queen, but she was not prepared to tell the truth.
"No! Something must have happened that I don't know about. Concubine Duan is even more difficult to deal with than the domineering Nian Shilan."
"That's not the case! Madam, Concubine Duan has always been weak and sickly."
"Hmph! Weak and sick? If you are really weak and sick, can you still serve the emperor?"
"Could it be..."
"That's right! Our Concubine Duan is the deepest hidden one. She has been pretending to be sick to avoid Concubine Hua's attacks. This is also the fundamental reason why she harmed Concubine Hua and escaped unscathed."
Concubine Duan naturally has the right to assist in the management of the harem. The first step is to reorganize the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Taiyuan Hospital, both of which are key departments of the palace.
Immediately, they uprooted the moths in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Royal Hospital, and also made the women in the palace who had evil intentions become honest. Only letting women deal with women is the most appropriate.
At this time, all the emperor's energy was focused on the previous dynasty, because the Manchu and Qing armies were completely invincible.
In particular, they expanded their troops crazily in various places in a snowballing manner, and then sent a large number of officials and subordinates from the Central Plains to take over the territory. The first thing they did was to take the newly conquered areas as their own.
In particular, the Qing Dynasty's military industry developed even more rapidly, because the emperor supported them so much that many new steel plants were built.
Some people may think that the Manchu and Qing Dynasty's steelmaking technology was very backward. In fact, they do not know that this was a deliberate suppression by the Manchu and Qing regime.
China's technical foundation and technical reserves are the best in the world. You must know that "Tiangong Kaiwu" published in the 10th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty is a world-class sacred book.
"Your Majesty, the three armies of our empire have made rapid progress recently, especially the one hundred thousand navy led by Lao Jiu Yuntang, which can be said to be devastating in Southeast Asia." Lao Ba Yunsu looked at the emperor with excitement and reported.
"Well, the opportunity is rare! If we postpone it for decades, we will never have such a good opportunity." The emperor always believed that the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties were the most suitable for expanding the territory, but it was a pity that neither of them had the opportunity. Such ambitions, and Qianlong was also a "complete loser" hiding in a pile of powder.
"Your Majesty, although the three-pronged army is making rapid progress, the number of troops has expanded too quickly. We need to carry out certain restrictions and precautions."
"Yunsu, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Your Majesty, how about we send out the supervisory troops?"
"No need! Let all the Eight Banners disciples from all over the country mobilize. After rigorous training and training, they will all be sent to various armies starting from corps commanders."
"Yes! Your Majesty."
The emperor is not worried about these military leaders rebelling against the imperial court now. He wishes they could rebel against him sooner so that he can kill them and have no regrets even if he is killed by them in turn.
At this time, the emperor suddenly admired King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. After King Zhou, all the lords of the world actually claimed to be the sons of heaven. Only the kings before King Zhou dared to call themselves kings of men. The so-called Zhou rites were only controlled by heaven and the people. Even though the Zhou Kingdom was ruined and his family was destroyed, he was still an indelible hero.
In history, Qianlong can be said to have inherited the national power accumulated by three generations of Manchu emperors. As a result, except for Qianlong, his grandson, calling himself Shiquan old man, all of it was used by him for squandering and extravagance. In the end, he raised Heshen. Epic greed.
Therefore, it is better for the emperor to use the Qing Dynasty's national power to expand the territory in advance. In this way, the empire in the west will not dare to provoke the Central Plains at will. At the very least, the Manchu Qing Dynasty can be turned into Russia. Empire, you must know that the Russian Empire has always been a power that bullies others.
…
The current emperor's favorite thing is to go to the Old Summer Palace. The Old Summer Palace, which has not been trampled by the British and French allied forces, is so beautiful that he and his beloved concubines can't forget to leave every day.
"Your Majesty, Fourth Brother is in the Old Summer Palace. Do you want to meet this child?"
"Princess Duan, why did you suddenly mention this child?"
"Your Majesty, I cannot give birth to a child for you, so I want to take this child with you and raise it."
"This kid is no good! He is too naughty! He will also be a arrogant and lewd person in the future."
"Your Majesty, it's because the child is naughty that you have to keep him by your side and train him properly. Otherwise, he will only be a rich prince waiting to die." m.
"Princess Duan, do you really like Hongli's child?"
"Yes! Your Majesty."
"Okay! Then you should teach me a lesson. If it doesn't work, just send me out of the palace."
"Yes! Your Majesty, I must do my best to raise my fourth brother."
Princess Duan Qi Yuebin was one of the smartest women in the palace, so she had long been interested in Si Age, who was driven to the Old Summer Palace by the emperor. In addition, Si Age was once loved by Emperor Shengzu, so she was interested in it. The idea of letting Si Age be his legitimate son.
Aisin Gioro Hongli, who was still a poor little boy at this time, was naturally ecstatic. As long as he could be given a chance to get close to the emperor, he believed that he would definitely gain the emperor's favor.
"Mother, Hongli wishes to greet you."
"Hongli, should you know the reason why your emperor doesn't like you?"
"Mother, is Hongli's biological mother of low status?"
"no!"
"What's that for?"
"Your Majesty Ama said that you are a arrogant and lustful bad boy."
"Ah? Hongli didn't."
"Hmph! What your Emperor Ama likes is to conquer the world with military force, but if you only think about Yingying Yanyan, then you can stay in the Old Summer Palace forever."
"Mother, Hongli must change his ways."
"Well, no matter how good your words are, it's better to take action immediately! I will depend on your actions next."
"Yes! Mother."
Although the emperor disliked Qianlong, who was so happy with his achievements, he was the only one he liked among his sons. He hoped that he would be able to correct his evil ways in the future. Maybe even his own Manchu Empire might not be able to sustain it. Qianlong succeeded to the throne.

Some people died, but not completely...
