Not long after Princess Yonghe married into the Tartar, Qin Shidao of the Northwest Governor was transferred to the Capital to serve as a Deputy Minister of War. Liu Daneng, the son-in-law of the Qin Family and Commander of the Hami Guard, was promoted to Northwest Governor.
The current Emperor's actions could be likened to hitting the Qin Family with a stick and then giving them a sweet date, one that was nauseatingly sweet.
People said the Qin Family struck a good bargain, but little did they know the family was utterly disgusted from top to bottom.
In the study of the outer courtyard of the Northwest Governor Mansion, Qin Shidao looked at his brother-in-law and friend Liu Daneng with a smile, "I misjudged you; I didn't expect you to have such a talent for being able to navigate all quarters!
The Qin Family compromised repeatedly, yet we were still outmaneuvered by the Emperor! How could I have thought of him as a fool?"
