Everyone expected Emperor Qing to be an idiot considering how he acted under his father and brother. His harem was the usual fair of a Chinese girl, an Indian drawn from the tribes under the Shun rule, a Russian, a member of the Birds, and there was an attempt to even bring a daughter of the King of Quebec into the fold. The marriage suit was rejected due to Qing's assumed idiocy.
He sat out most of the Napoleonic wars save for a single military adventure - he sent men to help the 8-Trigrams Uprising in Qing Manchu China. It was expected the military adventure to fail, but it was a success - the palace was breached and the Manchu Qing emperor found himself a prisoner. Emperor Qing negotiated the Manchu Emperor's retirement setting up the current Duke of Yansheng (the noble descendant of Confucus) as Emperor of China adding the current Duke's sister to Emperor Qing's harem. When asked why he choose the Duke of Yansheng instead of resetting up the empire, he responded - "I would have to rule over two kingdoms. I am only able to rule one, if I choose the Middle Kingdom, the Shun would suffer. If I choose the Shun, the Middle Kingdom would suffer. I prefer the Shun leaving the Middle Kingdom to its own devices."
After this statement, there was an assassination attempt. The Birds intercepted the assassin. There was another purge of democratic elements within the Shun.
On hearing Napoleon was defeated, Emperor Qing extended an offer to allow him to go into Exile in Shun. It was immediately rejected by the Congress of Vienna - Napoleon died in obscurity.
