The Manchus established their regime primarily through their horsemanship; very few of them truly succeeded through education. The only relatively famous one was Nalan Rongruo, but he was unfortunate and died young, a loss that even Emperor Kangxi deeply regretted.

Therefore, Tong Xuewen is quite famous among the new generation of Manchu children, and is known as the "other people's child".

It even gained recognition from Emperor Kangxi.

Ultimately, although Emperor Kangxi verbally proclaimed the unity of the Manchus and Han Chinese, he was still afraid that the Han Chinese were becoming too powerful. Otherwise, officials who came from the imperial examination system would have been able to obtain military power over the years.

Currently, there are several high-ranking officials in the imperial court who are of Han Chinese descent. Emperor Kangxi values ​​them highly, but their positions will never be able to influence the political situation.

In the process of heavily relying on Han Chinese officials, Kangxi also discovered their abilities and witnessed the profoundness of Han Chinese culture. He wanted to make use of the wisdom of the Han people, but he was also afraid that relying too heavily on Han people would lead to instability in the Manchu regime.

The best approach is for the Manchus to learn from the strengths of the Han people and make up for their own weaknesses.

However, the deep-rooted idea among the Manchus was still military merit. There were scholars, but few of them made a name for themselves.

That certainly highlights Tong Xuewen's status as the only son in the family.

“Princess, the Moon Maiden from the main courtyard has come to our courtyard.”

"Let her in." I wonder what my mother is planning now.

When Yueyuan came in, Tong Cheng'er was holding a book and lying comfortably on the soft couch.

"I have met the princess."

"Get up quickly, what did your mother want to see you about?"

Yueyuan said, "Your Highness, the Fujin wants you to go to the main courtyard. She says she has something to discuss with you."

Tong Cheng'er: "Did you say what it was about?"

Yueyuan shook her head: "This servant doesn't know either, the Fujin didn't say."

Tong Cheng'er: "Okay, I'll be there in a bit. You can go back first."

Even though I don't know what it's about, I still have to go.

Before long, Tong Cheng'er arrived at the main courtyard. Upon seeing her mother, she said with a grin, "Mother, what brings you here today? You're being so mysterious. I asked Yueyuan, but she didn't know either."

Shumulu gently tapped Tong Cheng'er's forehead with her fingertip and said affectionately, "I called you here for a good reason. Your second brother is not young anymore, and it's time to find him a wife."

Tong Cheng'er thought about her second brother's age, eighteen years old, which is just the age of adulthood in modern times!
