Missham: "You're being too naive. You need to understand that if you marry into a family with no parents, no brothers or sisters, it might be peaceful, but it might not stay peaceful forever!"
Wherever there are people, there will be right and wrong. Have you ever considered that even if that person has no close relatives, they didn't just spring from a rock; they have other relatives too?
If you marry down, in your husband's family's eyes, it represents power and dominance. Your husband may not be truly open with you, and if other relatives stir things up...
No man wants a woman who is inferior to his own, and then a cousin comes along to stay with him for extended periods. With a wife he can't match and a vulnerable cousin, in the end, you'll be the one who suffers more!
After hearing what her father said, Yunrong thought to herself, "That seems to be true!"
Yunrong: "Father knows so much!"
Mi Sihan blushed. As a man, he shouldn't know so much about these things, but he was getting old and had suffered a lot when he was young. Uya was also good at teaching him, and she would often give him some advice on family matters. Mi Sihan had learned a lot from her.
Mi Sihan: "These things should have been between your mother and you, but I never expected you to have such thoughts! Rong'er, don't worry! With your father here, he will definitely find you a suitable husband!"
After hearing her father's words, Fucha Yunrong naturally no longer had the same idea as before; it was her own fault for being so presumptuous!
Yunrong: "Daughter has learned her lesson. I will leave it to Father to decide!"
When Misihan saw that his daughter had really listened, it wasn't for nothing that he had spent half a day nagging like a woman!
After seeing his daughter off, Missham lost interest in politics and put aside his affairs of state. He summoned his trusted confidants to inquire about which family's son was worthy of his daughter!
If his daughter hadn't come to see him today, he wouldn't have realized she's almost old enough to participate in a talent show! Sigh! His daughter is growing up; he won't be able to raise her for many more years. The more he thinks about it, the more heartbroken he becomes! And then he feels that no one is good enough for his daughter!
It's also because he and his wife are too outstanding; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to have such an excellent daughter. They always feel that no one is good enough for their daughter! It's a sweet trouble!
Just as Mi Sihan was starting to make his move, Yinzhen, amidst his busy schedule, also received the news. Yinzhen was already planning to bring Fucha Yunrong into the palace to observe her closely, as he did not want her to actually commit to someone else's life!
There are indeed some fine young men in the capital nowadays. If he actually finds one and meets him in private, and then interferes in the end, it would make him seem very unkind!
Yinzhen felt he had to do something!
As a result, every time Mi Sihan received information about a suitable man, it was flawed. Mi Sihan loved his daughter so much that he couldn't bear to see her marry the wrong person, so he kept delaying the decision!
This made him quite worried! And this worry was quite evident on his face!
Seeing this, Yinzhen decided to tease him: "Lord Misihan, is something troubling you? You look so worried. Why don't you tell me, and I'll give you some advice!"
Misihan dared not say it aloud. Women who had not gone through the selection process could not marry on their own without a special imperial decree of amnesty. He dared not say that he was looking for a good young man and was planning to capture him as his son-in-law!
Mi Sihan: "This servant caught a chill last night and is not feeling well. I was impolite and hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
Yinzhen naturally wouldn't blame him!
Yinzhen: "Lord Misihan should take care of his health. I will send an imperial physician back with you to check your pulse and put your mind at ease!"
Misihan knelt down to express his gratitude: "This servant thanks Your Majesty for your divine grace!"
In the end, Mi Sihan reluctantly dragged his healthy body back with a royal physician. Mi Sihan was naturally without any illness or injury. After a thorough examination, the physician concluded that he was suffering from mental fatigue and needed to reduce his mental strain and replenish his energy. This, however, earned Mi Sihan a lot of concern from his daughter!
It was a pleasant surprise!
Soon, the eleventh year of Kangxi's reign passed! Yinzhen remembered that the Empress's legitimate son had died in the eleventh year! As for the reason, it seemed to be an accident. Yinzhen still needed a legitimate son to stabilize the morale of the army, even though Yinzhen knew that this legitimate son's health had long been deteriorating!
Yinzhen secretly surrounded Chenghu like an iron wall, fearing that someone might do something rash and destroy the already weak Chenghu!
If he really dies, he has no way of producing a legitimate son!
The Empress was unaware that her son, Chenghu, had already passed away in February of the eleventh year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign! She was even unaware that Chenghu's health was not as robust as the imperial physicians had described!
This was also the result of Yinzhen's special instructions: the eldest son born to the Empress must be healthy!
The twelfth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign quietly arrived, bringing with it an inexplicable sense of oppression and impending storm! The upper classes of the capital all vaguely sensed this and tightened their guard to avoid being caught in the crossfire!
The year of the talent show should have been more lively than usual, but it turned out to be much quieter than in previous years! Fucha Yunrong, as a candidate for the talent show, was also stuck at home and couldn't go out! Fortunately, she's not one to like going out, so she was quite content with her situation!
In March of the twelfth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, the request of Prince Pingnan, Shang Kexi, to retire to Liaodong, but with the condition that his son, Shang Zhixin, remain to guard Guangdong, sparked a heated debate over whether to abolish the feudal system.
History has repeated itself! Yinzhen was not surprised!
Yinzhen said, "The regional military governors have long held significant military power, which is detrimental to the country's development in the long run. The abolition of the regional military governors is imperative!"
With the emperor having given the order, the princes of different surnames naturally wouldn't remain indifferent. Just like in history, in July of the same year, Wu Sangui pretended to request the emperor to abolish his fiefdom, and the emperor agreed. In November of the same year, Wu Sangui proposed to overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming in Yunnan, killed the Yunnan governor Zhu Guozhi, and the following year sent a general to lead an army to attack Hunan!
Unlike in history, this was because Yinzhen had made preparations in advance. Although Wu Sangui had a large army, he was defeated at home in Hunan and had to flee with his troops!
The Yunnan governor who was killed by Wu Sangui miraculously came back to life!
During his escape, Wu Sangui did not spread the slogan of "overthrowing the Qing and restoring the Ming". However, because of the smallpox incident, the Qing emperor was very famous. Besides, the people do not care what ethnicity you are. Whoever can feed and clothe them is a good emperor!
Wu Sangui's actions were seen as rebellion by the people, so naturally no one responded to his call!
Because Yinzhen had deliberately laid an ambush along the way, Wu Sangui never even had a chance to become emperor before he was surrounded and killed by Wang Zhengchen and Geng Jingzhong. Wu Sangui's descendants were also brought to justice one by one!
The war against the Three Feudatories was fought extremely quickly due to meticulous planning, without any unexpected incidents, and none of the several backup plans were needed! It was completely quelled in the second month of the first year of the thirteenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign!
The repression of the Three Feudatories, which should have been a grand affair, was resolved very smoothly in the end. All the ministers and members of the imperial family could see that the current emperor was both brave and resourceful, and that he should be more "sincere" in his dealings with people in the future!
The removal of the Three Feudatories also garnered some positive feedback from the people, who mostly praised the current emperor. While it's not fair to say that the people were living in misery while Wu Sangui controlled the regional military governors, they were certainly suffering greatly. Now that the emperor had defeated the local tyrant, they could only be happy!
Moreover, this battle did not harm the interests of the common people! Yinzhen paid special attention when sending troops, so the common people did not participate!
