After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 415
This is an extremely dangerous political signal, which means that the emperor may have made up his mind not only to cut off her influence in the harem, but also to suppress the influence of the Chen clan in the previous court at the same time.

The empress dowager's tough attitude and extreme confidence also came from this.And... Empress Chen turned her head and glanced at the West Side Hall, which was still under strict guard.

In Shou'an Palace, it's not that there is no Queen Chen's eyeliner, she knows that the several supervisors and internal eunuchs of the Shang Palace Bureau are all in the west side hall of Shou'an Palace.

Logically speaking, the arrival of the Empress is a good opportunity for the internal eunuchs in charge of the Shang Palace Bureau to escape. However, it has been a while since Empress Chen arrived at the Shouan Palace. But there was no movement, and Han Ying, the empress dowager's confidant, never showed up.

This proves one thing, there are many people in the Xipian Hall who are strictly guarding the several stewards of the Shang Palace Bureau.It seems that the Empress Dowager is determined to tear herself apart from her. It is not enough to disturb the Shangshe Bureau, but also the Shang Palace Bureau.

What's even more sad is that the guards in the west side hall are the royal guards, the emperor's people, which represents the emperor's acquiescence to the behavior of the empress dowager.

This realization made Empress Chen feel cold.After so many years, the previous love between husband and wife has long been worn out, and she has been betrayed and hurt again and again, which has already made her cut off all affection and thoughts for that man. Right now, power is the only security in her hands source of emotion.

But even so, even if she has no way to retreat, her so-called husband actually wants to deprive her of the only support in her hands.

Empress Chen knew that she could not hesitate, she had to make a decisive decision, otherwise, if she was not careful, she might lose everything.

"Although I don't know what serious crime Chen Baolin committed to be reprimanded," Empress Chen turned around and looked at the empress dowager sitting on the throne with a cold expression: "But this harem is the emperor's harem after all, and she is also the emperor's harem." Concubine, the emperor said that he was demoted to be a concubine. As a queen, I should respect the meaning of the emperor. Ningshuang, pass on the decree of my palace, Chen Baolin will be demoted to be a concubine, and I will be grounded from now on. Not fast. Come, take Chen Cainv to the back hall of Weiyang Palace, seal the door and confine her feet, and no one is allowed to visit without the imperial edict."

Empress Chen gave an order, and the whole hall of Shou'an Palace fell silent for an instant.Even the Empress Dowager did not expect that she would play cards so unreasonably, and Lin Guifei was even more surprised.

Clever!Looking at Empress Chen's calm face, Shangguan Jing couldn't help sighing secretly. After all, he has been an empress for 30 years. His wit and calmness are really inferior to others.

This round of operations at the level of a politician seems to have suffered a loss, but in fact it put the empress dowager in a very uncomfortable situation.

Since the emperor nodded, the empress simply demoted Chen Cainu herself, and ordered the grounds to be grounded. One was to advance by retreating, which actually saved the safety of the niece. The punishment rod was not needed, and the grounds were changed from the remote Yeting to the back of the Weiyang Palace. temple.

Who knows what will become of the people who come down from the thirty sticks?Who knows how Chen Cainu will be treated when she goes to Yeting.

Second, in front of all the harem concubines and the empress dowager, Empress Chen told them clearly that she is still a queen, she has not been abolished, and has not been seized of power. concubine people!
Didn't the emperor say that he would demote Chen Cainu?Alright, then demote, as a queen, respect the opinion of the emperor.But how to demote and how to punish, the empress dowager has no right to dictate.

The queen is still here, why are you?
This is the affairs of the Sixth Palace, which is within the scope of the empress's authority. Why do you, an empress dowager, intervene?It was she who had to come forward to deal with it in person, and she came to issue this decree.

Empress Chen was decisive enough and ruthless enough, it was better to cut off her own tail than to have a knife go out on her body, at least temporarily regain the initiative.

"I would like to obey the Queen's order." Hearing Queen Chen's order, Ningshuang immediately responded, and then said to her side: "Come here, take Chen Cainu down."

Immediately, two internal eunuchs from Weiyang Palace ran up, cut Chen Cainu's arms backwards, turned around and planned to go out.

This made the empress dowager very angry.She slapped the table next to her suddenly, pointed at Empress Chen's nose and asked loudly: "Empress! This is Aijia's Shou'an Palace, not your Weiyang Palace! Whoever promises you to come and leave whenever you want ?! Chen Cainv's Ai family has already punished her with a cane and confinement, so there is no need for you to do anything more. How to punish Chen Cainv, the emperor has already said, let the Ai family figure it out. Something?! You think Aijia doesn’t know, you want to use this to protect your niece, Aijia told you, today’s torture, she has to bear it, and she has to bear it if she doesn’t want it.”

"What's the matter?" Empress Chen raised her head, her aura became more vigorous: "What the queen mother said is interesting. Naturally, the children and ministers are here to share the mother's worries. The mother's empress is still living in the Shou'an Palace, and she has probably forgotten that in this harem , the one who has the power to reward and punish the concubines is none other than the queen. The queen mother wants to punish Chen Cainu, so the minister rushed to help. How can this be called a crosstalk? And the queen mother does not hold the power of the six palaces, Naturally, I don’t understand the laws of the harem too well. There are rewards and punishments, not arbitrary actions, whether it is rewards or punishments, they must abide by the laws of the harem, there are reasons and evidence, and the Sizheng side must be registered.”

"Of course." Empress Chen smiled proudly at the empress dowager and the six concubines: "Of course, the empress mother doesn't need to worry about these things. Your old man just said that it is fine to punish, how to punish, how to control the scale, and what is the basis According to the rules and laws of the palace, it is enough for the sons and ministers to help the mother to deal with them later. You only need to sit here and give orders, and the sons and ministers, the queen, will take care of everything for you. Therefore, the mother, the sons and daughters are I came to help you share your worries. You old man should worry less, so as not to make jokes in front of the concubine."

Empress Chen said the words "joke" clearly and slowly, her gaze swept across the pale-faced Empress Dowager and the cold-faced Concubine Lin Gui, the sarcasm in her eyes was obvious.

That expression seemed to say, "I'm here, everyone here is rubbish!"

"The Empress Dowager's words are really sweet." Naturally, Concubine Lin Gui couldn't bear the tone, she stood up immediately: "No matter how high-sounding the words are, it is useless. In fact, favoritism is partiality. You are so embarrassed to fool the Empress Dowager. You say it's 'dividing worries'? If you claim to be fair, the concubine would like to ask you, why is the rod punishment not punished? You also changed the secluded court into the Weiyang Palace to confine her feet? She is a daughter-in-law and should be confinement in the Queen's Palace , Where is the basis? Is this how you manage the Six Palaces? My niece made a big mistake, and you still blindly take sides, how can this convince the concubines?"

　——Here is the dividing line for experienced Gongdou players——
　　Empress Chen decisively decided to retreat to advance, the emperor wanted to punish, to reprimand, yes!That was also the emperor's order, and she, the queen, followed the order to punish her. She had the final say on how to punish, and no one else could intervene.
