As early as when Princess Hejing Hayihu got married, Chen Yuwei had already considered the matter of Hezhuo and Fuling'a.
Mongolia is definitely out of the question, but keeping them all in the capital is also unrealistic.
Therefore, Chen Yuwei suggested to Hongli that they use the identities of Hezhuo and Fuling'a to appease the Han Chinese officials in Jiangnan.
This can be seen as Chen Yuwei taking a step back. In terms of distance, there is no difference between marrying into Jiangnan and marrying into Mongolia.
Just as there are southern tours in Jiangnan, there are also inspection tours in Mongolia. Hongli now goes to Mongolia much more often than he goes to Jiangnan.
Moreover, during this period, the Manchus looked down on the Han people, which may have stemmed from their entry into the Central Plains or from their arrogant and condescending attitude.
Chen Yuwei's words greatly relieved Hongli's headache.
With two more daughters approaching adulthood, the Mongolians, like dogs that have caught a whiff of romance, have already sent letters to propose marriage.
Hongli: ...
Hongli was naturally unwilling. He didn't even look at how much the Mongol Empire had declined, and he had just given birth to a legitimate daughter.
Although his eldest daughter and son-in-law have been ordered by him to stay in the capital, they had lived in Mongolia for a period of time before. As their biological father, Hongli is absolutely qualified to ask questions.
"Wu Shulai, go to Yikun Palace and invite the Imperial Noble Consort here."
Hongli threw down the memorial in his hand; the memorial itself was nothing, but he was furious.
They're all so shameless; anyone who didn't know better would think Mongolia was some kind of wealthy land.
They were all poor people who relied on him to give them money every year to make ends meet.
With such conditions, he still dared to shamelessly ask for the princess's hand in his memorial to the throne.
Hongli almost called the man over and gave him a dressing down. Even Hongli, who prided himself on his thick skin, had never seen such a bizarre move by the Mongols.
It's also because Chen Yuwei wasn't there; otherwise, she would definitely have advised Hongli that he was overthinking things.
As early as the Kangxi era, the Mongols held this belief that Heaven was the greatest power and they themselves were second only to Heaven.
At that time, Mongolia was not yet in decline, and Emperor Kangxi always harbored the idea of appeasing Mongolia, so his attitude towards Mongolia was relatively gentle, which caused Mongolia to not adapt to the situation.
Even during the Yongzheng era, various adopted daughters were married off to Mongolia to help pacify the region, until Hongli ascended the throne.
Hongli had the air of a smug, petty person. The Mongols were down on their luck? Then get them out of here.
