Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 111
The emperor came to Taoyuan County almost all the way on foot, and he rode a horse to the residence when he reached the river section close to the county seat.

Chen Wenxin and Chen Wenyi came here overnight on horseback.

It was not only them, but also two frail university scholars Wang Xi and Huang Ji who had to take a horse-drawn carriage to take the official road back to Suqian.
-
They followed the emperor through the muddy water all the way yesterday, and they haven't recovered their strength until today.

There are also a large number of local officials, guards, and soldiers following behind.

Except for Jin Fu, the emperor has never been close to any local officials.

The two grand scholars slumped in a carriage, looking at each other's tiredness, and they didn't care about their appearance.

"Master Huang, what do you think will happen when the emperor returns to Suqian this time?"

Huang Ji glanced at him, "I heard that Suqian has been rectified by the concubine Qin. If you ask Shi Yizhi and others to see the granary open and distribute the disaster money, won't they die of anger?"

Wang Xi laughed loudly, "They are going to die of anger today, didn't you see?"

Huang Ji also laughed, "Miss Qin has a good wrist, I couldn't see it before, I was blind too."

Wang Xi shook his head disapprovingly, "You are still young, I heard that there are not many concubines in the mansion? Let me tell you honestly, any woman will suddenly become smarter when she encounters other women seducing her husband! "

Wang Xi said this with a very experienced look, Huang Ji teased: "Old Wang is very familiar with the mentality of boudoir girls? Then according to you, what do you say about the concubine Qin opening a warehouse in Suqian? "

"Your Majesty always cares about the common people, she is resourceful and resourceful." Wang Xi twisted his beard, "Besides, I always feel that this is not what your Majesty wants alone."

Huang Ji got excited, "Could it be General Chen? I've talked to him several times, and he's definitely not a man with only force but no brains. You know about the bandit suppression in Shandong, right?"

Chen Wenyi obtained the post of General Xuanwu by relying on his campaign against bandits in Shandong.

The emperor personally praised him on the Longevity Festival, and even Nalan Mingzhu wanted to make him his son-in-law.How could Wang Xi not know?

He pondered: "Don't you think that the empress is able to handle this matter, and if you look into it carefully, you and the emperor have the same thoughts?"

After all, Huang Ji was young and couldn't hold his breath. Seeing him playing charades, he got up and sat up straight, "My boss, why don't you just say it directly?"

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Wang Xi smiled and said: "I just think that what the empress does is just like the emperor. Don't be in a hurry to punish the crime, but to take care of the people's affairs first."

"If it's the emperor's suggestion, then it's fine. If it's the concubine Qin's own idea, I'm afraid I'd underestimate the empress too much."

Huang Ji frowned and thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be true.

For example, it is a firm fact that the concubine Qin will deal with the two women who intend to seduce the emperor today.

The empress did not really intend to kill the two of them, but instead gave Jin Fu as a concubine.

"The one who is not biased is called the middle, and the one who is not easy is called mediocre. Upholding justice and not killing, the Qin concubine is a person of great wisdom."

If such a woman can be born in the harem, maybe a hundred years later, she will be able to be drawn on the palace training picture...

As Suqian County was approaching, Shi Yizhi got down from the carriage and bowed in front of the emperor's carriage.

"Your Majesty, the water outside the city gate of Suqian has not receded, and it is still muddy. Why don't you move the side gate, Your Majesty?"

Chen Wenxin smiled and winked at the emperor in the car, and he smiled knowingly.

There was Chen Wenxin's arrangement in Suqian County, but the news did not get out.

I'm afraid Shi Yizhi and others thought at this moment that those victims were still blocked outside the city gate, or were driven to other counties!

Li Dequan sat outside the emperor's carriage, opened the door a little, and asked the emperor to show him.

The emperor nodded slightly, Li Dequan closed the car door, and said straight to Shi Yi: "Lord Lao Shi is leading the way."

Shi Yizhi was delighted, he had already ordered the disaster victims not to enter the city, and these people were not allowed to block outside the city gate trying to get in when the emperor returned.

He was afraid that the new acting county magistrate would not handle it properly, what if there were still some refugees blocking the gate of the city?
It's better to take the emperor through the side door, and don't let the emperor have any chance to see the victims.

If you can’t see it, doesn’t that mean it’s gone?

After the emperor entered the city, he followed Chen Wenxin's example and quietly lifted a small slit in the curtain of the carriage to look outside.

There are more hawkers selling goods on the street, and the common people are gradually recovering from the flood, buying vegetables or other items on the street.

"Xuan Ye, this is not the carriage we brought out from Beijing, you have to be careful when you lift the curtain."

As she spoke, she opened the gap in the car curtain by herself.

Unexpectedly, this curtain was indeed much thinner than their original carriage curtain. She didn't notice when she opened it, and the whole curtain was blown up by the wind.

The luxuriously decorated carriages are already conspicuous on the street, and most of the common people look at them.

Seeing the curtain being blown up by the wind at this moment, revealing an extremely beautiful female face, she was a little panicked.

A sharp-eyed person recognized her and exclaimed, "That's Mrs. Chen!"

Some people even stopped what they were doing to look over, and when they saw Xiao Lizi sitting in front of the carriage, they shouted, "Yes, yes, that young brother belongs to Mrs. Chen, I recognize him!"

After confirming their identities, the people knelt down and kowtowed to the carriage, "Thank you, Madam Chen, for your kindness!"

Then more and more people knelt down and worshiped, the carriage couldn't move forward for a while, and stopped at the same place.

Seeing this, the common people even occupied the seats in front of the carriage, and bowed down one after another, talking about Chen Niangniang.

Chen Wenxin looked at the emperor in astonishment, showing an innocent expression, "This...what's going on?"

She did come forward to release the victims outside the city gate, and ordered the county magistrate to open a warehouse for relief.

It's not that the people are so supportive, right?

The emperor smiled, mysterious.

The common people naturally cannot fully understand the ins and outs of the matter, the emperor can let them understand.

He arranged for people to mix among the victims to publicize Chen Wenxin's good deeds.Let those disaster victims who came later know it too.

All of a sudden, Chen Wenxin's name became famous.

Chen Wenxin didn't know that this was the emperor's intentional arrangement, she was both surprised and delighted.

What surprised me was that the people kneeling all over the street were so grateful to her.The joy is that what she has done has really benefited the common people a lot.

Although she doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, she believes in karma.

She always believes that if you do good deeds, there will be rewards.

This is a great kindness, and it would be great if it could be repaid to her parents, family members, best friends and loved ones in her past and present lives.

The carriage could no longer move forward, Shi Yizhi and others who were following far behind were wondering why Suqian County suddenly had so many people.

Seeing the emperor's carriage being stopped, he thought something had happened.

Shi Yizhi shouted: "Protect, protect!"

The garrison soldiers were ordered to step forward, and seeing a large group of people kneeling on the ground, they began to drive them away.

"stop!"

A woman's scolding came from inside the carriage, Li Dequan and Xiao Lizi jumped down and opened the carriage door.

A pair of slender hands came out and rested on Li Dequan's.Immediately Chen Wenxin got down from the carriage and repeatedly asked the people to excuse him.

When the common people saw the troops rushing up, they thought they had offended the empress, but they didn't expect the empress to ask them to get up so kindly.

Those who didn't dare to get up were also pulled up by the people next to them, who whispered: "Don't be afraid, Madam Chen is fine!"

Chen Wenxin asked the soldiers from the local county government to retreat, and she was surrounded by only a few soldiers brought from the capital to protect her.

Shi Yizhi and Sang E looked confused behind them, they had only left Suqian for a day, what happened?

Hurry up and send someone to the county government office to ask the acting county magistrate, what did the concubine Qin do in Suqian when they left yesterday?
Where did this large group of people in shabby clothes come from?
Could it be...

A thought appeared in Shi Yizhi's mind, which terrified him.

Seeing his face turning pale, Sang E asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong with you?"

Shi Yizhi shook his head tremblingly, glanced at the backs of his subordinates sent to the county government to inquire, and prayed in his heart.

Come back quickly!
Chen Wenxin stood on the ground in person, and said modestly to the people: "This palace is ordered by the emperor to do a little bit for the people of this town, what's the point?"

She turned around and faced the carriage with the common people, Fushen said: "This concubine is on behalf of the common people in Suqian, thank you, the emperor, for your great kindness."

Starting with her, the common people also followed her to thank the emperor.

Sitting in the carriage, the emperor felt very satisfied when he heard the people shouting "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness".

He ordered Li Dequan to open the door of the carriage, even though he did not get out of the carriage himself, it was a great grace for the common people to see the emperor's dragon face.

The emperor wanted to make a good name for Chen Wenxin, and Chen Wenxin also wanted to win the love of the people for the emperor.

After all, the Manchus entered the customs with foreigners, and the vast majority of the people in this world are still Han people.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.What the emperor cares most about is the support of the people.

Thanks to the people of Suqian, the emperor's heart is sweet after working so hard these few days.
