I am the Queen

Qianqing Palace

"Not long after Tibet was pacified, Baleben will come to Beijing to see him. Do you have any suggestions?" Qianlong received the memorial from the minister stationed in Tibet and summoned several princes and military ministers to discuss.

"My majesty, this Bale's coming to court as a chieftain is mainly for the emperor to confirm his status as a chieftain, so that his title as a chieftain will be more justified." Yin Jishan came out and said.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yin is right, why don't you let Ba Le come to Beijing." Prince He also said.

"Baleben wants to bring his youngest daughter here, saying that he is looking for a marriage for her. This Baleben is seeking the protection of the imperial court. We also need him to consolidate the rule of Tibet for us." Qianlong said after listening.

"Returning to the emperor, the customs in Tibet are different from ours. Tibet is a matriarchal society, and the status of women is higher than that of men, especially the status of Ba Leben's daughter, who can have four husbands." Liu Tongxun told people from all over the place. Knowing the customs, I thought to myself, who among the nobles of the Eight Banners would like to share a wife with others.

"Four husbands, this is incredible." Qianlong only knew that a man could have three wives and four concubines, but he didn't think that women could do it too. This is something that a man can't bear.

"Your Majesty, you can just find someone to deal with it at that time." He said to the prince, he thought of the former university scholar Fu Lun, he didn't have two sons, and it would be fine to choose one or both together.

"What Hong Zhou said is also true. When Ba Le came to court, the Ministry of Rites will discuss a regulation." Qianlong saw that Hong Zhou seemed to have a candidate, and he would ask him privately later.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then stay with the prince, and everyone else kneels down." Qianlong kept Hong Zhou, "Tell me, do you have a candidate in your heart?"

"Brother Huang is wise." Prince He did not deny it.

"Then say it."

"With Brother Huang's ingenuity, how could he not guess it." Prince He didn't want to follow Qianlong's wish so quickly.

"Hong Zhou, I think you've been too busy recently, and it happens that Hong Zhan can't do it all by himself, so you can go to the clan's mansion to help him." Qianlong knew that this younger brother was most afraid of being busy, and he was already busy managing the House of Internal Affairs. But come on, it's not that there's not so much time for funerals.

"Emperor brother, you should spare my younger brother. My younger brother's job in the House of Internal Affairs is a headache. If I come to the clan's residence, my younger brother may not even know where the prince's residence is." Hongzhou knew that he had ribs and was strangled by Qianlong, " It’s the Fu family brothers. They don’t like Lord Shang to carry the flag very much. We don’t want them to know about this Tibetan custom. Just make General Feng En."

"Hong Zhou, don't you tell me that I have forgotten that there is still this family. I will leave it to you." Since the Wei family went to Xinzheku, the Fu family has gradually faded out of Qianlong's sight. No one mentioned Qianlong. figure.

"It's Brother Huang." There was another mission.

Ministry of Rites

"Yongqi, take a look at what you wrote." Yongzhang is now in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites showed Yongqi's proposal for entertaining Ba Leben. After all, regardless of title or seniority, Yongzhang is better than Yongqi. height of.

"Third brother, what's the problem with this writing?" Yong Qi's suggestion was thought up by him and Erkang last night.

"What's the problem, who is this Yongqi Ba Leben?"

"Baleben is the chieftain of Tibet."

"Ba Leben is a subject, and Huang Ama is the king. How can you ask the king to accept the minister? You let Huang Ama, princes and ministers come out to greet him. What a shame it is for Ba Leben."

"Third brother, if we just send a few people to show that we have no way of hospitality, I will directly hand it over to Huang Ama, and see if Huang Ama is yours or mine." Yongqi can't understand old Yongzhang If you occupy the management of the etiquette department and find faults everywhere, and if you occupy the elder brother, you will teach everywhere. If you succeed in the future, I will demote you to a commoner.

"Whatever you want." Seeing Yongqi's stubbornness, Yongzhang felt no surprise when he thought of the inconsequential things he did in the past.

In the Qianqing Palace, officials from the Ministry of Rites all knelt before Qianlong's imperial case.

Qianlong threw the booklet from the Ministry of Rites in front of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, "Look at you, you dare to hand it over, the imperial court's salaries are all for nothing."

"Slaves (ministers) deserve to die." Yongzhang and the officials of the Ministry of Rites led by the Ministry of Rites did not dare to look up, and Yong Qi was of course also inside.

"A little chieftain actually wants me to greet him in person. I heard that Prince Mu can't even get out of bed. Let him greet him. I'm afraid that if Ba Leben doesn't come, he will go west by car. Isn't that cold?" won the heart of the clan prince."

"Huhuang Ama, this is written by Rong Beizi, and this is the one discussed by everyone in the Ministry of Rites." Yongzhang didn't expect that Yongqi would hand over the paper to Huang Ama before he submitted it. Fortunately, he heard it. Huang Ama sent all the officials of the Ministry of Rites to go to the Qianqing Palace, and brought the drafted scriptures.

Qianlong read Yongzhang's writing, "It's not too bad, Yongqi, your qualifications are still young, and you need to learn more from your third brother, so how can you submit it privately. Yongzhang, tell Yongqi what you think."

"Yes, Huang Ama, in the 15th year of Qianlong's reign, the Tibetan king Juermot conspired to rebel and was killed by the ministers stationed in Tibet Fu Qing and Rabdon, and his remnant party attacked and killed the minister stationed in Tibet. Pandida was entrusted by the Lama In Tibetan affairs, Pandida arrested the rebellious party and quelled the rebellion. Huang Ama ordered Tseleng to lead [-] soldiers into Tibet and stabilized Tibet. In the second year, Huang Ama abolished the Tibetan king system. A great nobleman in Tibet wants to seek the blessing of Huang Amma and act as an agent for Tibetan affairs. If there is a grand welcome ceremony, this Ba Leben will not think that we value him, so he will set the price on the ground, so that Ba Leben will know that we just treat him as an official. Only ordinary courtiers, we can negotiate conditions with Balben that are beneficial to us.” Ever since Yongzhang knew that the Tibetan aristocrat Balben was coming to court, he began to read the Qing Dynasty’s rule over Tibet, and he knew a thing or two about these things.

"Well, Yongqi, Yongzhang is now in charge of the Ministry of Rites. If you report to the higher level like this, you are disrespecting Yongzhang. If you think you are a first-time offender, you will not be punished." Qianlong saw Yongqi's work. The study room is for elder brother. Yongzhang used to be in Yongqi's position before, and his superiors all praised him. Yongqi's superiors neither praised nor dismissed Yongqi. It was nothing more than fear of Yongqi's status as the prince.It would be nice if Yong Qi didn't drag Yong Ji down in the future, and she didn't care about raising another idler.

"Huang Ama, my son knows." Yong Qi felt dissatisfied, her proposal was so good, it could show our friendship to Ba Leben, why Huang Ama didn't listen, but still listened to Yongzhang.

"Yongzhang, when the time comes, you will go to meet him in person. Don't go out of the city for eight hundred miles, just two miles outside the city. The Ministry of Rites will send two officials to meet you. When the time comes, arrange them in the post manager and let them wait for you." I'll be in a hurry for a few days, and I'll see you again." Qianlong modified it slightly, originally Yongzhang asked the Minister of Rites to go out of the city for eight hundred miles to pick him up, and then he would directly meet the Holy Majesty when he came back.

"Yes, Huang Ama." Yongzhang didn't expect that Qianlong would accept his idea. Although there were some changes, they basically remained the same, but he didn't want to be like Yongqi, who was praised by Huang Ama and his tail was raised to the sky. , do not see their own identity.

Rongbeizi Mansion

"My proposal is so good, why didn't Huang Ama accept it." Yong Qi returned to the mansion and asked for the Fu brothers and Xiao Jian to be summoned.

"Yongqi, it doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't accept it. Anyway, our purpose is not here. I heard that this Tibetan chieftain will choose a husband for his daughter when he comes to court. If Er Kang Ertai marries one of them, it will be equivalent to holding Tibet. This trump card." Xiao Jian said.

"That's right. After Ba Le came to Beijing, I worked in the Ministry of Etiquette, and it was easier to establish a good relationship with him. At that time, Erkang Ertai will also follow me, and try to show as much as possible in front of his daughter." Yong Qi Jing Xiaojian pointed out My mind turned around at once.

"Okay." Ertai and Erkang agreed.

Fu Erkang thought, although he was married to Ziwei before, but now he has nothing to do with Ziwei. If he marries the daughter of a Tibetan chieftain, the emperor will not raise the flag for him, and he can return to the way he used to be in Fu's family. first scene.

Forte thought, if he could marry the Tibetan chieftain's daughter, and use his own charm to prevent her from staying in the capital obediently, then the emperor would look at the Tibetan chieftain's face and give him an official title.

Ba Le rushed to Beijing, Yongzhang led Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites and Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, and waited in the suburbs, only to see colorful flags fluttering in the distance, and Ba Le came running.

Ba Leben saw that there were only three people coming to pick him up. Although there were guards behind him, it was far worse than he expected. Unfortunately, today he came here to ask for help. The aristocrats are also peeking at acting as an agent for Tibetan affairs. If they can get the imperial court's recognition, it will be justified, and they dare not refuse.

Ba Leben got down from the eight-person sedan chair and saw that Yongzhang was wearing a python robe, so he knew that he was a relative of the emperor. Since Ba Leben didn't know who it was, he performed a Tibetan salute. "Tashi Dele" in Chinese means auspicious and wishful thinking.

"Lord Ba Le Ben, this is the emperor's third elder brother." Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rituals, bowed his hands to Ba Le Ben.

"Hello, third elder brother." Baleben greeted Yongzhang in impure Chinese.

"Master Ba Leben has worked hard all the way, please follow elder brother Ben to the station to rest first." Yongzhang said politely.

Yongzhang took Baleben to the post station, "Master Baleben, you rest here, waiting for the emperor's call." This Baleben is just a great nobleman in Tibet, and he has no official position. honorific title.

"Then thank you, Brother San. This is my youngest daughter Seya." Ba Leben pointed to a fifteen-year-old woman wearing a red Tibetan dress and said.

Seiya just performed a Tibetan salute to Yongzhang, which was regarded as a friendly gesture to Yongzhang. Her father had already told her the purpose of coming to Qing Dynasty. Anyway, she already had two husbands in Tibet, and there was not much more. , and it can also bring benefits to his family, so why not do it, as his father's heir, Seiya was taught by his father how to put the family's interests first since he was a child.

Qianqing Palace

"See Huang Ama." Yongzhang returned to the palace after receiving Ba Leben.

"Well, Ba Leben didn't say anything to you, did he?" Qianlong said while reviewing the memorial.

"Returning to Huang Ama, I didn't say anything, but my son felt that when Ba Leben saw that we were not so grand to welcome him, there was a flash of displeasure in his eyes, but it was quickly covered up." Even if it was just for a moment , Yongzhang still saw it.

"Well, it's getting late, you should go back home to rest early." Qianlong didn't say anything to Yongzhang, and Ba Leben didn't see his identity clearly, and dared to play tricks if he wanted something from me.
