A few days later, Emperor Shunhe Hongzhao issued an order to the Grand Council: The Dzungar tribe has been restless for many years, either engaging in internal strife or actively provoking our Great Qing.
Now is the perfect time for our Great Qing to annihilate them!
If we miss this opportunity, who knows how long it will be before they recover.
Therefore, two months later, our Great Qing will send troops to attack the Dzungars.
The ministers of the previous dynasty were shocked!
Because none of them expected that Emperor Shun and Emperor Hongzhao would be so decisive, sending troops to the Dzungar Khanate as soon as they said they would.
It should be noted that Emperor Shunhe Hongzhao had only discussed the matter of waging war against the Dzungar Khanate with the retired Emperor Yongzheng.
In the end, he didn't even involve the ministers of the previous dynasty in the discussion, but directly issued an order to the Grand Council.
Following this, the ministers of the previous dynasty couldn't help but gossip among themselves.
As the saying goes, a new emperor brings a new court.
The new emperor has only recently ascended the throne, and the ministers have not yet figured out his style of doing things.
However, this incident, in which Emperor Hongzhao directly issued orders to the Grand Council, reveals a significant difference.
This reveals the inherent strength within this young emperor.
After all, Emperor Shun and Emperor Hongzhao had already served in the previous dynasty for more than five years before ascending the throne.
He certainly had some understanding of the ministers from the previous dynasty.
Therefore, Emperor Shun and Emperor Hongzhao must have known that he wanted to wage war against the Dzungars.
The vast majority of ministers from the previous dynasty would not agree.
After all, they've had such a stable life for so many years, they definitely don't want to cause any trouble.
So Emperor Shun simply ignored them!
Ministers: ...
Well, the Grand Council established by the retired emperor is indeed impressive!
Several months ago, the retired emperor made it clear that all state affairs would be decided by the new emperor.
Moreover, the retired emperor no longer receives ministers.
Soon after, the ministers of the previous dynasty learned that Prince Hongxu was going to join the campaign against the Dzungars.
...
As a result, they were even less likely to voice any objections.
Because they knew that their opinions could not sway Shun and Emperor Hongzhao in the slightest.
After all, the new emperor's own brother, born of the same mother, has gone to fight in the war.
This demonstrates Emperor Shun's determination to conquer the Dzungars.
...
May there be abundance, peace, and harmony.
Ituma Shushu no longer lives in Chunqi Xiuse.
However, the place she now lives in is no smaller than Chunqi Xiuse, and it is called "Fengxiang Anhe".
Before Emperor Shunhe Hongzhao ascended the throne, the retired Emperor Yongzheng had already moved to the other side of the Yuanmingyuan Garden.
So at that time, Ituma Shushu, the Empress, and the other concubines of the retired Emperor Yongzheng also moved over.
"Mother, Eighth Prince, he..."
The Eighth Prince's wife, Lady Balin, spoke with a hesitant expression.
Ituma Shushu sighed and said softly, "As her mother, I certainly don't want Hongxu to go to war either."
But now that the imperial edict has been issued, it means that Hongxu's participation in the campaign against the Dzungars is finalized.
Upon hearing this, the Eighth Prince's wife, Lady Balin, nodded and frowned, saying, "Mother, since the matter has been settled and the Eighth Prince is to depart in two months..."
So for the next two months, the daughter-in-law will definitely prepare the items for Ba Beizi's trip carefully.
And please rest assured, Mother, your daughter-in-law will definitely take good care of the Prince's residence and the eldest prince.
In the second month after Emperor Shunhe Hongzhao ascended the throne, his eighth son Hongxu moved out of the Yuanmingyuan.
Currently, the Princes' Residence in the Old Summer Palace houses the Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao.
Because after Emperor Yongzheng announced his abdication, in addition to having people prepare things for Emperor Shunhe's ascension to the throne.
He also ordered the construction of residences for the Eighth Prince Hongxu, the Tenth Prince Honghao, and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao outside the Yuanmingyuan.
The residences of the Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao are still under construction, while the Eighth Prince's residence was the first to be completed.
Therefore, Prince Hongxu has now moved into his Prince Hongxu residence.
The eldest prince mentioned by the Eighth Prince's wife, Lady Balin, was her son with the Eighth Prince, Hongxu.
He is also the only child of the eighth prince Hongxu, and he is just two years old now.
After listening to the words of the Eighth Prince's wife, Balin, Ituma Shushu said gently, "Yes, I trust you to handle things, Balin."
If you encounter any problems you can't solve, don't hesitate to go to the palace and find your mother.
At this moment, Consort Hesheli, wife of Prince Guo, also spoke up: "Mother, it is more convenient for me to live outside the palace."
I'll visit Eighth Sister-in-law's house more often then.
Today, the wife of the Eighth Prince, Lady Balin, and the wife of the Prince of Guo, Lady Hesheli, entered the palace together to pay their respects to Ituma Shushu.
However, today is not the day to pay respects to Ituma Shushu on the first or fifteenth of the lunar month.
Therefore, today Empress Niohuru and several of Emperor Shunhe Hongzhao's concubines do not need to come to pay their respects to Ituma Shushu.
Upon hearing this, Ituma Shushu nodded and said softly, "Well then, Hesheli, you should spend more time with Balin."
Since the Eighth Prince Hongxu moved to his residence outside the Yuanmingyuan.
Prince Hongxu and Prince Hongxuan, the two brothers, often visited each other.
Therefore, nowadays, the wife of the Eighth Prince, Lady Balin, and the wife of the Prince of Guo, Lady Hesheli, often visit each other's residences.
Yes, the two of them also went to the palace together today to pay their respects to Ituma Shushu.
Princess Consort Hesheli of Prince Guo quickly replied, "Yes, Mother."
...
After the Eighth Prince's wife, Lady Balin, and the Prince Guo's wife, Lady Hesheli, left Fengxiang Anhe, Ituma Shushu fell into deep thought.
Given that brat Hongxu's temperament, he probably won't settle down so easily.
Sigh, he and Prince Guo, Hongxuan, have been restless since childhood.
Ituma Shushu estimated that when they went to Mulan Qiuyan before, Eighth Prince Hongxu was already itching to go.
After all, Eighth Prince Hongxu had always dreamed of becoming a general, and Ituma Shushu was aware of that.
Then, Ituma Shushu opened the "Dawn Mall".
Then, she looked at the "Girl-Giving Pill" in one of the small grid spaces on the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" and sighed.
Since he gave Empress Niohuru a "Daughter-Giving Pill" last time, he only has three "Daughter-Giving Pills" left.
Originally, Ituma Shushu did not intend to give these three "daughter-producing pills" to any of her daughters-in-law other than Empress Niohuru.
After all, just as Ituma Shushu herself had thought, apart from the wife of Emperor Shunhe, Niohuru, whom she would interfere with out of necessity, she would not interfere much with the wives of her other sons.
As everyone knows, most of the princesses and noblewomen of the Qing Dynasty were to be married off to Mongolia!
But now Ituma Shushu has no choice but to take charge.
