Comprehensive film and television: Every time I dress up as a supporting role

"Is this inappropriate?" The envoy was very embarrassed. It was the first time he heard that a prince could marry a foreign prince. Hadn't it always been princesses who got married in the past?

"What's wrong with that? The prince enjoys the support of the world, so he must contribute to the world! Now is the time for the prince to realize his own value. Could it be that your country has no suitable princess to marry the prince?"

Qingran stared into the envoy's eyes, and her tone was light, but the majesty contained in it made the envoy's heart tremble.

The envoy felt uneasy, thinking that he was not facing the young emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but a man who had lived for many years.

Hiss, it must be an illusion.

The envoy sneered. In fact, in the war five years ago, Junggar had also suffered heavy losses. If they led troops to fight at this time, it would be a considerable burden for Junggar. However, the newly appointed Khan wanted to get some benefits from the Qing Dynasty, so he proposed a marriage alliance.

If the princess married into the Qing Dynasty, she would definitely bring things from the Qing Dynasty, and could even serve as a bridge for cooperation between the Qing Dynasty and Junggar.

If it was a prince, it would be even better for Junggar.

In the envoy's opinion, the prince must have more resources at his disposal, and the children born to the prince and the princess may be able to inherit the Qing Dynasty in the future...

The envoy was excited about his idea and thought that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty might be confused for proposing the marriage of the princes.

"Of course there are. Our third princess and fifth princess have not yet married. I wonder which prince the emperor plans to let marry them?" The messenger's eyes lit up, and he did not mention the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. As long as he was a prince, it would be fine.

"Of course it's my fourth brother." Qingran said with a smile.

Three years ago, the fourth prince Hongli fell seriously ill due to the drugs he took and was on the verge of death, thus missing out on the possibility of competing for the throne. As for the other underage princes, their biological mothers all had ordinary family backgrounds. Those from wealthy families had their fetuses secretly aborted by Empress Yixiu.

Her natal family was weak, she had few supporters, and she herself was young, so she had no qualifications to compete for the throne.

For the past three years, Qingran has been using drugs to keep the Fourth Prince alive, waiting for the day when he would be needed for the marriage.

The envoys agreed that the date for the marriage would be ten days later.

Qingran gave Hongli an antidote, and Hongli, who had been ill for a long time, felt much better within a few days. However, when he heard that he was going to travel to Junggar to marry a princess, Hongli became furious and fell ill again.

For some reason, Hongli always had the illusion that things shouldn't be like this. As the fourth son of the late emperor, and after the only surviving third prince died of illness, he was the late emperor's only adult prince. Why didn't he ascend the throne?

But Princess Zhaoyue ascended the throne!

In fact, the edict written by the previous emperor was written by Zhaoyue, and he did not even have the qualifications to refute the other party's unreasonable words.

He had long known that the outstanding Zhaoyue was the late emperor's favorite princess, but he could only be forced to be imprisoned in the Old Summer Palace, longing for the illusory fatherly love that he had never received.

I never thought that the emperor doted on Zhaoyue to such an extent that he was willing to abdicate the throne to her!

At night, Hongli, lying on the bed with a pale face, seemed to see the late emperor. He still despised Hongli as he did when he was alive.

Hongli struggled to wave his hands, trying to grab the corner of the late emperor's clothes, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, and he kept muttering:

"Father Emperor, this isn't fair! I'm a prince! How can I marry into a foreign alliance?!"

The eunuch in charge of night watch heard the noise and woke up in shock. He found that his master had another nightmare. The eunuch snorted and ignored Hongli, but continued to curl up and sleep.

The emperor said that he only needed to keep an eye on Hongli and make sure he didn't die accidentally. He didn't need to worry about anything else. After Hongli went to Junggar, he would be able to return to serve him.

The Junggar envoy was worried about Hongli's marriage and requested that it be as quick as possible. Qingran did not make things difficult for him and agreed. Ten days later, Hongli set off for Junggar and married the Junggar princess.

During this period, Hongli hoped countless times that the ministers would oppose his marriage and persuade the emperor to withdraw his order. However, ten days passed and the court was very harmonious every day. After the court, the ministers did not even mention any opposition.

Hongli sent people to inquire about the news, but the result he got was that no one cared about him. He was immediately in despair and could only accept that he would become the first prince in history to be sent to marry a foreign prince.

It is true that there were cases in history where the crown prince or prince was sent as a hostage, but that was also said to be a hostage, and what Hongli sent was for the purpose of marrying a foreign princess.

Hongli could almost imagine that he was going to be laughed at by everyone.

Qingran didn't care about Hongli's thoughts. She considered asking Hongli to marry a princess, with the idea of ​​exchanging it for peace and prosperity for the country and the idea of ​​breaking the boundary between the princess and the prince.

Qingran still remembered a drama she had watched, in which a certain Ms. Lao Ru claimed that the princess enjoyed the offerings of the people and should marry into a foreign country to dedicate herself to the country. So, in other words, the prince also enjoyed the offerings of the people and should also marry into a foreign country to dedicate herself to the country and seek benefits for the people.

The fact that Hongli married a foreign prince also caused an uproar among the people. Although Qingran had been in power for three years and had always fought for equal rights for women, it was very difficult to break the dynasty's deep-rooted oppression of women. After she issued the policy that women could also go to school, it had only achieved initial results in the past three years, and many counties still did not allow women to go to school.

Now, Hongli's marriage has broken the world's inherent impression of the prince.

Since princes can marry like princesses, then women can naturally go to school and study like men, and it is no longer a treatment enjoyed only by noble ladies.

Of course, promoting women's education will inevitably lead to the reform of the feudal system, but Qingran doesn't care. She only lives in this life, and the tide of history will inevitably overthrow the feudal system. There is nothing wrong with starting with her.

But what is certain is that the overthrow of the feudal system was not that quick.

Qingran still has a lot of time to make plans, to work hard for national development, for the survival of women, and to build an equal and harmonious society.

One year after Hongli married into the Dzungar Khanate, the customs that had been opened earlier by the Qing Dynasty began to show initial results, and trade with foreign countries enriched the national treasury.

While Nian Gengyao was still able to wield a knife, Qing Ran allocated military funds and ordered Nian Gengyao to send troops to capture Junggar.

As for Hongli, when Nian Gengyao went on the expedition, he was used as a hostage by the Dzungar Khanate, hoping that Nian Gengyao would withdraw his troops. However, Hongli's health was not good and he died of coughing up blood on the battlefield.

War is ruthless. After a war, some people gain military merits and are promoted to higher positions, while others die on the battlefield.

After conquering Junggar, Nian Gengyao retired gloriously and began to enjoy his retirement at home, while also training the next generation of powerful generals for the emperor.

Qing Ran is well aware that one family cannot dominate the power, so even if it is the Nian family, he will not employ too many people, but will treat them equally, so as to balance the forces in the court and keep power in his own hands.
