TV series: Daily life of male supporting role

Chapter 272: Legend of Zhen Huan - Yun Li 18

In his previous life, Moge sneaked into Beijing to investigate the situation in the Qing Dynasty, and now Yunli also sneaked into Junggar to investigate the situation.

Since we are all going to die, let’s change to a more tragic one.

Before leaving Beijing, Yunli first went to the place where Moge would appear in his previous life and waited for him.

At that time, he and Zhen Huan were traveling around like an ordinary couple, and they met the Moge couple who were poisoned by snake venom.

At that time, neither Yunli nor Zhen Huan thought that the person they rescued was the leader of a foreign race.

Later, it made the emperor more suspicious of the unclear relationship between Zhen Huan and Yun Li, which accelerated Yun Li's death.

Speaking of which, because the emperor's favor towards Zhen Huan was fickle, the emperor and Zhen Huan never had a child until Zhen Huan's death.

Longyue, who was to be sent to Junggar as a princess, was dropped by a butterfly.

Yunli planned to watch the Moge couple die from snake venom, but after experiencing Zhen Huan's sudden death and the fact that Nian Gengyao and Prince Dun did not rebel, Yunli was worried that the Moge couple would return to Junggar safely.

The Qing Dynasty had suffered many invasions from the Dzungar Khanate. This time, he decided to let the Dzungar Khanate fall into chaos so that he could reap the benefits.

When they arrived at the destination, the secret guard came to report that traces of foreigners were found at the post station.

Yunli didn't know if it was Moge and the others, so he went here in person and looked at the familiar figure lying on the ground not far away.

Yunli went forward to check, and when he saw the man's face clearly, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell.

After he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw that the two people's faces were getting paler and paler. He didn't say a word, but just stood there quietly, watching Mog and his wife die.

After confirming that the two were really dead, Yunli left here and headed to the northwest according to the emperor's instructions.

When they arrived at the border of Junggar, the news of Moge's death had already reached the Junggar tribe. The struggle among the Junggar high-level officials had begun. Yunli remembered the person who would succeed the position of Junggar leader, so he asked the secret guards to take advantage of the civil strife in Junggar to assassinate those candidates and frame the people of other tribes to make them fight each other.

He would wait for them to fight to the death and then bring the Qing army to subdue them.

Yunli also brought powerful military generals such as Yue Zhongqi on this trip.

Of course, Yunli’s schedule was different from theirs.

Yunli came here first, and Yue Zhongqi and the others followed behind.

When the internal fighting in Dzungar was almost over, Yunli led his army to attack the Dzungar tribe.

As soon as the new leader of the Junggar Khanate took office, he was beheaded by Yue Zhongqi. His head was hung on the flag of the Junggar tribe and became a prop to intimidate other tribes.

The Emperor was delighted to have the Dzungar tribe incorporated into the Qing territory without any burden. He promoted the ranks of all the generals, including Yue Zhongqi, by one rank, and Yunli became Prince Guo.

Yunli became a prince with an iron hat. For a time, the threshold of Prince Guo’s palace was almost trampled down by matchmakers.

The Empress Dowager also received letters of invitation from the ladies of high rank.

The Queen Mother happily called Yunli into the palace and asked him to see the girl she liked so that she could hold a banquet for him to let him see the girl.

Helplessly, Yunli hid in the Emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity and complained to the Emperor.

"Brother, why don't you revoke my title of prince? I don't dare to go out or enter the palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager recently."

The emperor smiled faintly, took a sip of tea, and said, "You are the youngest prince of the Qing Dynasty, and there is no woman in your backyard. If they don't like you, who else can they like?"

Seeing the emperor's gloating tone, Yunli secretly rolled his eyes at him, believing in his heart that the emperor just couldn't bear to see him having nothing to do and must give him something to do.

Don't think he doesn't know. The emperor is just taking revenge on him for what he said before and making him unable to rest.

After Yunli came back from Junggar, he looked darker. When he saw the emperor again, he said that he would have a good rest and go to Jiangnan to travel around to make his return in vain. Before he returned in vain, he hoped that the emperor would not assign him any more work.

Dzungar had just been incorporated into the Qing Dynasty's territory, and the emperor had a lot of things to do. The emperor had originally planned to let Yunli take over the affairs related to Dzungar after his return, but who knew that Yunli would just give up and not want to do anything.

The emperor refused, so Yunli brought up the empress dowager. The two brothers stared at each other for a long time. Finally, Aunt Zhuxi, who was by the empress dowager's side, came over and said that the empress dowager hoped that Yunli would go to the Cining Palace to accompany her for meals.

As soon as Yunli left the palace that day, the emperor's decree came down. It was obvious that the emperor did it on purpose.

He did not contribute much to the conquest of the Junggar tribe. The promotions of those generals were truly well-deserved. It made no sense for him to become a prince just by going to Junggar?

Some ministers in the court opposed it, but the emperor didn't listen. He made a speech, and his message to the outside world was that Junggar was a major concern for the Qing Dynasty. Whoever went to conquer Junggar and participated in this battle would be rewarded. You didn't go when I asked you to go, and now all those who participated in this battle have been rewarded, and you say they don't deserve it. Are you jealous of their benefits and are you against rewarding them?

The ministers fell silent instantly.

Who dares to say no?

The emperor valued military generals, which made the civil officials somewhat dissatisfied. However, they conquered the Dzungar Khanate and surrounding tribes, expanded the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and intimidated other Mongolian tribes, making them dare not invade the Qing Dynasty. This is a fact that they cannot refute.

The emperor was happy to promote all of them. That's right, and Prince Guo was already a prince. If he was promoted one level higher, he would become a prince, right? There was nothing wrong with that.

Prince Dun had no ill will towards his seventeenth brother, nor was he jealous after seeing his younger brother's promotion. Instead, he stood on the emperor's side and joined the emperor in confronting those ministers who were complaining about the sour grapes.

This made the Emperor look at Prince Dun in a different light again.

Although Prince Dun would often leave him speechless in the court, he felt a strange feeling when he saw Prince Dun joining him in arguing with others.

Although this idiot finally said to himself, "I am not on your side, don't think too much, I still hate you the most."

But the emperor was in a good mood at the moment and didn't need to take this fool's words seriously.

Yunli was urged by the Empress Dowager and finally gave in. He discussed with the Empress Dowager and asked her to let him choose his own wife.

When the Queen Mother saw that Yunli showed signs of relenting, she was determined not to refuse and quickly agreed.

When she found out that Yunli had chosen a Han woman from Jiangnan as his first wife, the Queen Mother was puzzled and asked him, "Have you thought it through? You are not just picking someone to deal with an old woman like me, are you? This woman is an ordinary person who is not even a Han army flag."

Yunli said seriously, "Empress Dowager, do you remember that I have been to Jiangnan several times? When I first went to Jiangnan, she helped me. I met her several times after that. I got along with her for a few times and found that we have the same hobbies. I am sure that I like her. I don't ask for anything else in this life, but to be in love with her until we grow old together."

Yunli's serious explanation made the Queen Mother burst into laughter.

Finally, she asked Yunli to ask the Emperor for permission to marry her, as she did not dare to make this decision lightly.

When the emperor found out who Yunli was looking for as his first wife, he was so frightened that he spat out a mouthful of tea without caring about his image.

His first reaction was the same as the Queen Mother’s. Could it be that Yunli just randomly found someone just to deal with him?
