Chapter 351 Consort Fucha
"The Han tribe is located in a remote area. Although it has submitted to the Qing Dynasty, the tribesmen still have worries."
Your Majesty, I humbly request that Your Majesty dispatch a highly respected official to the Han tribe.
To appease the people, spread the benevolence of the Qing Dynasty, and truly integrate the Han people into the Qing Dynasty.
Han Ati spoke sincerely, his eyes full of expectation.
Hongchang smiled slightly and nodded, saying:
"The chieftain of the Han tribe is quite right. Rest assured, I will certainly send a capable official to the Han tribe."
To appease the people and ensure the well-being of the Han tribe.
Fucha Peiyun also said:
"Now that the Han tribe has submitted, the Qing Dynasty should ensure their peace and tranquility and send officials to appease the people."
This also involved sending officials and drawing personnel to the newly conquered countries.
There are also countries that have submitted; this is all normal practice.
Not only to appease the local people,
Furthermore, it was to promote the laws, culture, and institutions of the Qing Dynasty to these regions.
Ensure they are truly integrated into the Qing Dynasty's territory.
Han Ati's actions were intended to demonstrate to Hongchang that the Han tribe genuinely submitted to the Qing Dynasty.
We hope that the Qing Dynasty can give more attention and support, so that the Han tribe can truly become a part of the Qing Dynasty.
Not long after the Han tribe submitted, the leaders of the Tibetan Tusi and the Hui leaders also came to the capital to pay homage.
Because of precedents set by the Northern Kingdom and the Cold Tribe, people like Tusi from Tibet knew that Hongchang was not interested in women.
Although they brought their children to Beijing, they only did so to perform.
He had no intention of offering his daughter to Hongchang.
They simply hoped to demonstrate their respect and loyalty to the Qing Dynasty through their performances.
Throughout the year, leaders of various ethnic groups frequently brought their people to Beijing to pay homage, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
A festive atmosphere permeated the streets and alleys of Beijing.
A continuous stream of pilgrims arrived from all over the country to offer their congratulations.
They brought the most distinctive gifts and performances from their respective regions.
Tibetan song and dance, Uyghur equestrian performances, Mongolian wrestling matches, etc.
These spectacular performances took place in various corners of Beijing, attracting countless people to stop and watch.
These performances not only showcased the cultural characteristics of various regions, but also demonstrated the majesty and inclusiveness of the Qing Dynasty.
The people of the capital city had greatly broadened their horizons, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.
Now that life is better and the Qing Dynasty is so powerful, they don't need to worry about war.
In addition to these tribes coming to the capital to offer congratulations that year,
Another major event was the first imperial examination for women in the Qing Dynasty.
As the Qing Dynasty's national strength grew, Hongchang's emphasis on education reached an unprecedented level.
He deeply understood that national prosperity requires not only a strong military,
We need a large number of knowledgeable and capable people.
These talents should not be limited to men.
He was raised by Fucha Peijun from a young age.
She also has female elders, such as Nian Shilan and Feng Ruozhao, each with their own strengths, around her.
There are also the diligent, resilient, and studious older sisters, Shuhe and Wenyi.
This made Hongchang deeply realize the unlimited potential and value of women.
They believe that they too can contribute to the country's development.
Therefore, with the active promotion of the women in the harem, including Fucha Peiyun, and Emperor Hongchang,
The first imperial examination for women in the Qing Dynasty was thus established.
After Hongchang ascended the throne, Princesses Shuhe and Wenyi led the way in smallpox vaccination.
Establish the "Great Qing People's Daily" and a textile factory.
Furthermore, Empress Dowagers Fucha and Peiyun personally promoted women's education.
Then Empress Dowager Nian Shilan led Princesses Shuhe and Wenyi to the battlefield.
So many years of hard work have enabled women to step out of their homes.
They began to learn knowledge and skills, and women's abilities were recognized by the world.
The princesses, skilled in both literature and martial arts, intelligent and brave, stood on the throne.
Their words, actions, and outstanding achievements became role models for women in the Qing Dynasty.
These princesses not only made outstanding contributions to the country on the battlefield,
He also demonstrated extraordinary wisdom and talent in the imperial court.
Their emergence completely changed the world's traditional perception of women.
It showed women the infinite possibilities they could have in society.
Thanks to the efforts of many women, more possibilities have finally been created for women all over the world.
Although the imperial examinations for women were opposed by many ministers
What hen crowing at dawn, what restlessness at home?
All sorts of unpleasant words came from the mouths of those scholars who uttered insults to civility.
But with Emperor Hongchang and the two empress dowagers, Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan, in the harem...
Also, Feng Ruozhao and other concubines of the late emperor
The Hongchang harem was headed by the Empress, with the six concubines responding in kind.
More than a dozen princesses with military merits were in the imperial court.
With the support of women who are gradually becoming more aware of their surroundings
Those dissenting voices were suppressed.
Since the news of the women's imperial examination was first released two years ago...
The entire Qing Dynasty was in an uproar.
Women from all over the country were eager to show their skills in the examination hall.
Those women who were once confined to their chambers now had a new light in their eyes.
They studied diligently day and night, striving for this opportunity to change their destiny.
As soon as the imperial examinations began, numerous women gathered in the capital.
They came from all corners of the Qing Dynasty, some from the bustling water towns of Jiangnan.
Some came from the vast northern grasslands, while others came from remote mountainous areas.
They are of different ages and backgrounds.
But they all shared a common goal—to pass the imperial examinations for women.
To win a better future for myself and contribute my strength to the development of the Qing Dynasty.
Since they are fortunate enough to have this opportunity, they must work even harder than the men.
To repay the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Princess, a scholar will die for one who understands him.
They all hoped to pass the imperial examinations and one day stand in the imperial court.
Two months before the imperial examinations, women began traveling to the capital.
Many inns in the capital city made things very convenient for these women.
Although the current atmosphere is much more open than before
However, men and women are different, and in order to ensure the safety of these women...
Many guesthouses only accept female guests, providing them with a comfortable accommodation environment.
These guesthouses also thoughtfully provided quiet study rooms for female test-takers to facilitate their review and preparation for the exams.
Some learned gentlemen even set up stalls near the inn.
We explained some knowledge and skills about the imperial examinations to the female candidates to help them better prepare for the exams.
This women's imperial examination was different from previous ones; it tested not only the classics, history, philosophy, and literature,
There are also practical subjects such as arithmetic, management, geography, and agriculture.
On the day of the exam, just as dawn was breaking, the female candidates rushed to the examination hall.
They were dressed in simple clothes and wore simple hair accessories.
Their faces showed both nervousness and anticipation as they waited to enter.
This women's imperial examination was a major event for the entire Qing Dynasty, and Hongchang had already mobilized troops.
Strict security measures were deployed around the examination venue to ensure the smooth conduct of the examination.
The proctors for this women's scientific expedition, as well as the people who searched the women, were all women.
To ensure that invigilation and inspection work can be carried out fairly and accurately.
The exam officially began, and the female candidates entered the examination room in an orderly manner under the guidance of the examiners.
The examination room was so quiet that the only sound could be the scratching of pens on paper.
The female candidates were completely focused on answering the questions.
Their eyes revealed a longing for the future.
As time went by, the exam gradually came to an end.
The female candidates handed in their papers one after another, some with satisfied smiles on their faces, while others looked slightly nervous.
The examiners carefully collected and sealed the exam papers to ensure the fairness of the exam.
