Chapter 317 Consort Fucha
He's not dead yet! He's still strong and healthy, and hasn't even started choosing a successor.
Moreover, he had more than one son, Almu.
Furthermore, Almu was too close to the Qing Dynasty and was not his ideal successor.
However, he wouldn't say it directly.
Mog's trip to the capital was to test the young emperor.
If this young emperor is weak and easily bullied or easy to talk to, he can naturally take the opportunity to gain more benefits for the Dzungar Khanate.
Since he hadn't yet figured things out, Mogg could only manage a forced smile.
"Almu is still young and needs more experience and learning."
"It's not too late to talk about taking on a major role when Almu is like an emperor."
Hongchang's smile remained unchanged after hearing this:
"What the Khan says is very true; experience is indeed crucial for young people."
After a brief pause, Hongchang seemed to have thought of something and continued:
"I have an idea, but I don't know what the Great Khan thinks."
Perhaps we should let Amur stay in the capital.
Our Great Qing Dynasty is vast and rich in resources, possessing countless classic texts and outstanding teachers.
If the Khan doesn't mind, Amur can receive a better education and training here.
"Upon returning to Junggar in the future, I will surely be able to contribute even more to its development."
Princess Chaogui listened from the side, feeling somewhat hesitant.
Staying in Beijing is certainly a good thing, as it offers richer resources and broader opportunities for development.
However, she also understood that if her son remained in the capital, it meant he would be far removed from the power center of the Dzungar Khanate.
This may have some impact on Amur's status and future development in the Junggar Basin.
Deep down, she actually hoped her son could stay in Beijing.
But she didn't know what Almu was thinking.
She wouldn't make decisions for Amur on her own.
Mog was even more dissatisfied, as the young emperor clearly wanted to keep Amur in the capital as a hostage.
But he couldn't directly object, so he simply told the young emperor...
He did not trust the Qing Dynasty.
Just as he was pondering how to respond,
Amur suddenly stepped forward and spoke:
"Father, I want to stay in the capital to study."
Mog paused for a moment, then looked at Amur, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
Amur continued, “I have always longed to come here ever since I was a child, listening to my mother tell stories of the Qing Dynasty.”
Moreover, I've heard that the Qing Dynasty has many excellent teachers and a wealth of knowledge.
I want to study here so that I can better serve my father, the Khan, and the Dzungars in the future.
Upon hearing Amur's words, Hongchang's eyes flashed with admiration. He smiled slightly and said:
“My cousin Amur is indeed ambitious. With such determination, he will surely achieve great things.”
Khan Mog, look how eager my cousin Almu is to learn!
Staying in the capital was a great opportunity for him.
"Although Mog was displeased, seeing Amur's resolute attitude,
Not wanting to lose face in front of Hongchang, she reluctantly said:
"Since Amur has this wish, then I, the Khan, will allow him to stay in the capital to study for a period of time."
However, Amur is still just a child, and we hope His Majesty will take good care of him.
Mogg, however, decided in his heart to completely give up on this son.
Hongchang smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Cousin Amur will receive the best care in the capital."
I will arrange the best teachers to instruct him, so that he can study here with peace of mind.”
Fucha Peiyun also smiled and said:
"Sister Chaogui, you can rest assured that Amur will remain in the capital."
Princess Chaogui nodded slightly, though she felt a pang of reluctance.
But seeing how eager his son was to stay in Beijing, he felt it was a good opportunity.
As for herself, although she also wanted to stay in the capital...
But for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and for Amur, it's best to stay in Dzungar.
She said, "Since Amur is willing, then I will let him stay in the capital."
He only hoped that the Emperor and his sister-in-law would take good care of him.
Hongchang quickly replied, "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Cousin Amur."
Fucha Peiyun patted Chao Gui's hand, "Don't worry."
At this moment, Princess Shuhe also stepped forward and said, "Aunt Chaogui, we sisters can also help take care of Cousin Almu."
Seeing this, Wen Yi and the others echoed the sentiment, expressing their willingness to do their part.
Princess Chaogui then turned her gaze to Princess Shuhe and Wenyi, carefully examining them.
These young princesses were all beautiful and graceful, exuding confidence and radiance.
"Oh, it's Shuhe, and Wenyi too..."
Princess Chaogui's voice revealed a hint of emotion.
"Time flies, you've all grown up so much."
When Princess Chaogui was married off to a foreign land for a political alliance, none of the other princesses in the Shuhe and Wenyi Palaces had been born yet.
Now these little princesses have all grown up and are showing off their confident and radiant charm.
Princess Chaogui's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
The smile seemed to contain a sense of satisfaction and joy at the princesses' growth.
She said softly, "You've all grown up so much, that's wonderful."
"With you all helping to take care of Amur, Auntie is very relieved."
Since it was a foregone conclusion that Almu would remain in the capital, Mog said no more.
He looked at Hongchang, smiled slightly, and said:
"In that case, I entrust Amur to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."
This Khan's visit to the Great Qing Dynasty included paying respects to the new emperor and bringing the princess back to her parents' home.
They also hoped to learn some advanced technologies and experiences from the Qing Dynasty to promote the development of the Dzungar Khanate.
I wonder if His Majesty could offer some guidance and assistance in these matters?
Hongchang smiled slightly and said, "If the Great Khan has this intention, I am naturally pleased."
The Qing Dynasty and the Dzungar Khanate maintained friendly relations throughout their history.
I also hope that both sides can learn from each other and make progress together.
Regarding the exchange of technology and experience, I can arrange for a dedicated person to liaise with the Great Khan.
"Ensure that the Junggarh can benefit from this."
Hong Chang readily agreed, but Moge didn't really believe it.
Everyone keeps good things to themselves, so why would this young emperor give them to him?
There must be something fishy going on, or it's not something important at all.
Mog's gaze fell upon the stained glass panels in the hall.
This young emperor must have plenty of resources to use such luxurious things for his windows.
Or is it simply a fondness for luxury?
After several probing attempts today, it was discovered that the young emperor seemed to have little fear of Dzungar.
Is it just youthful arrogance, or does it come from genuine strength?
Although Mog harbored many doubts, he remained outwardly calm, smiled slightly, and said:
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty. I will certainly bring these advanced technologies and experiences back to the Dzungar Khanate."
To benefit the people of Dzungar.
Hongchang smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is too kind. The Qing Dynasty and the Dzungar Khanate have always been friendly neighbors."
It is only natural to learn from each other and make progress together.
Mog raised his wine glass. "This time, when I came to the capital to pay my respects to the new emperor, I specially brought a special item."
Many years ago, I, the Khan, acquired a nine-linked jade ring. I heard that a jade craftsman from the Western Regions had risked his life to obtain this beautiful jade.
They went to great lengths to craft this ring; it is said that the Central Plains is full of wise men.
Could you please ask the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to untie these nine jade rings for me?
The person behind Mogg brought out a tray, on which lay a string of exquisite jade nine-linked rings.
A young eunuch took the tray
Hongchang's gaze fell on the nine-linked jade rings.
These nine jade rings were indeed exquisitely crafted, with the nine rings interlocking with each other.
The steps are interconnected, seemingly simple, but actually contain hidden complexities.
He already understood Mogg's intentions.
This clearly shows that Mogg is confident they can't solve the Nine Jade Rings puzzle.
I deliberately wanted to use this to give them a hard time.
These nine jade rings are indeed exquisite, but nothing special.
Fucha Peiyun had already let them play with such a nine-linked jade ring.
"These nine jade rings are indeed exquisite, but the one who tied the knot must untie it."
Since the Great Khan was able to bring this item, he must already have the answer in his heart.
Princesses Shuhe and Wenyi, among others, also saw the nine-linked jade rings.
Shuhe looked at Wenyan, who usually loved playing with these kinds of quirky things.
Wen Yan received a look from Shu He, nodded, and then stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, there's no need for my brother to personally handle this little jade ring."
"This princess can untie these nine jade rings for you."
Wen Yan said confidently, and walked briskly to the Nine-Linked Jade Rings to examine them carefully.
Mog sneered inwardly; these nine-linked jade rings were meticulously crafted by skilled artisans.
The traps were numerous and intricate, and he was confident that none of the Qing princesses could solve them; this was going to embarrass them.
Wen Yan remained completely unperturbed; she had always been fascinated by these ingenious gadgets.
When they were young, their mother would design these nine-linked rings and board games to train their thinking and patience.
She stretched out her slender fingers and gently fiddled with the jade ring. Before long, she found the key to it.
She skillfully turned and disassembled it, and in a short time...
She untangled the seemingly intricate nine-linked jade rings one by one.
The last nine jade rings were neatly arranged on the table, crystal clear and gleaming.
Wen Yan smiled slightly and reassembled the untied nine-linked jade rings.
He untied it again, his movements fluid and graceful, drawing gasps of amazement from everyone in the hall.
Mogg's face instantly turned extremely ugly; he never expected this.
This Qing princess so easily untied his prized nine-linked jade rings.
His carefully orchestrated show of force vanished in an instant.
Princess Wenyi then said, "Sister Wenyan is very patient."
That's why it took so long to solve this nine-linked ring puzzle.
If it were me, I'm afraid I would have smashed it open.
After all, the Khan only asked that the jade ring be removed, not that it had to be intact, right?
Princess Wenyi's words stunned everyone in the hall, and then some couldn't help but burst into laughter.
These two were Prince Dun and Nian Gengyao.
Everyone else was proud of Wen Yan and Wen Yi's performance.
These two princesses truly brought honor to the Qing Dynasty.
Mog's expression grew increasingly grim. He had initially thought that the Nine-Linked Jade Rings would embarrass the Qing Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, he was humiliated by two young girls with blond hair.
And there was also the time he experienced inexplicable sharp pain in the back of his knee.
Mog will remember this humiliation.
Seeing this, Hongchang smiled slightly and said:
"Sister Wenyi, you are mistaken. This nine-linked jade ring is indeed an exquisite object."
If we destroy it in order to unravel it, wouldn't that be a waste of resources?
Wen Yan's approach was the right one.
Princess Wenyi stuck out her tongue after hearing Hongchang's words and said playfully:
"That's true, this jade ring is indeed beautiful, it would be a pity to smash it."
Although Mog was furious, he had to admit that Wen Yan's skills were indeed remarkable.
Princess Wenyi was also very quick-witted.
They never imagined they could smash the jade ring.
Mogg forced a smile and said:
"The princesses of the Qing Dynasty are indeed exceptionally intelligent; I admire them."
