Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 215
While the emperor's harem was in good shape, Chen Wenyi encountered some troubles.

He never expected that this Prince Darling would be so greedy.

When I wrote a letter to the emperor complaining that he didn't marry the woman from Horqin as queen, where did the energy go?

When he heard that Chen Wenyi was coming with an army, he even tied up Yuchang's whole family and sent them to the army, saying that they were sinners of this family, and he would listen to the emperor's disposal.

Chen Wenyi sent Yu Changzai's parents and other major relatives to the capital to get the emperor to convict him.

The remaining unimportant old women who cook at home, he temporarily locked them up.

Who would have thought that within a few days, Prince Darling would tie up all the officials and even the nuns who were in charge of drafting girls and send them to the military tent.

Chen Wenyi still sent the more important figures back to Beijing, and the remaining insignificant figures were imprisoned.

The shamelessness of Prince Dalu is that he seems to have sent a lot of sinners, but he didn't touch on the real key.

——The real key is that he, Prince Dal, himself was negligent.

This is also the key to the emperor.

But he used these people as a scapegoat, and he sent all the servants and servants who didn't matter, and it looked like a huge pile.

From the perspective of outsiders, it would be thought that he confessed his mistake sincerely.

It seems that this Prince Dalu is not a rough guy, he still has some brains.

Knowing that he had offended the emperor, if he didn't behave better in this attitude, the emperor would have even more reason to send troops.

The spies sent to the Horqin military camp to inquire said that there was no way for the people arranged by the emperor to take the initiative to lead troops to attack.

Now there is a lot of panic in Horqin, and all the grass and trees are full of soldiers.

If anyone dared to lead troops out privately, he would be killed before leaving Horqin's camp.

Chen Wenyi was a little distressed, Prince Daluan didn't fall for it, he had to find another way to get him to send troops.

"Report!"

A soldier came in from outside the account, knelt down and said: "General, it has been found that Horqin is buying food and grass from neighboring tribes!"

Chen Wenyi was thinking about how to force Prince Daguer to send troops, and this news made his eyes shine.

"Is the news reliable?"

"Reliable. The banner owner of Guo Erluo's department is the son-in-law of the Qing Dynasty. The news came from our princess."

Chen Wenyi suddenly understood that although he didn't know which princess the banner owner of the Guoerluo tribe married, it is still a custom that the princesses of the Qing Dynasty marry Mongolian princes.

There is also a princess of the Qing Dynasty in the Guoerluo department.

The Guoerluosi Department is relatively close to Horqin, and because they all have only one banner, they have always surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

And Horqin has Six Banners. As a descendant of many generations of emperors in the Qing Dynasty, Horqin's strength is too great, and his ambitions are naturally great.

"Then what does Guo Erluosi mean? Did Horqin agree to sell grain and grass?"

The little soldier said: "Return to the general, the head of the Guoerluosi tribe rejected the Horqin tribe."

Yu Jie, who was standing next to Chen Wenyi, heard this, and cupped his hands and said, "It's autumn, and all the tribes in Mongolia are hoarding food and grass. The Guoerluo tribe is small and weak, so it would be nice if they could stockpile enough food and grass for their people to survive the cold winter. Where will the surplus food come from?" Sell ​​it to Horqin?"

In fact, if this winter is colder, Guo Erluosi's department will also seek food and grass relief from the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Wenyi curled his lips into a smile, "It's not just the Guoerluo tribe, I'm afraid that all the Mongolian tribes now know that the Qing Dynasty sent troops to the north. Selling grain and grass to Horqin is against the Qing Dynasty."

Throughout the dynasties of the Central Plains, there are countless incidents where the Mongolian steppe tribes went south to rob the Han people of property.

Such as the famous Wala and Turks in history.

In its heyday, Kublai Khan unified the grasslands and established the Great Mongol Kingdom.

Then the Great Mongol Kingdom marched into the Central Plains and occupied the territory of the Han people. That was the Yuan Dynasty.

Since the Jin soldiers entered the customs and established the Qing Dynasty, no Mongolian tribe could go south to attack.

This also caused the Mongols' combat power and population to gradually decline, and the Qing Dynasty in the south was strong, and they were unable to rob the south of supplementary property.

Northern Russia conquered Siberia, and Mongolia lost its barrier of retreat.

The former Great Mongolia is now nothing but a doomsday hero surviving in the cracks.

The current Mongolia is basically divided into three parts. These tribes in the southeast near the Central Plains surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and belonged to the Qing Dynasty.

Such as the Horqin and Guoerluo departments, as well as the Abahai and Alute departments.

The tribes in the northern barbaric area are far away from the Qing Dynasty and belong to the "three no matter" zone.

The Mongolian tribes in the west near Xinjiang are brave and powerful.

Although they dare not go south to invade, it is a major hidden danger for the Qing Dynasty.

"General, what should we do now?" Yu Jie asked Chen Wenyi.

Seeing Chen Wenyi smiling, he felt very strange.

Horqin has recruited troops, and the general can still laugh?
Chen Wenyi said to the little soldier who delivered the news: "Guo Erluo's department is indeed weak. Presumably, if he doesn't sell food and grass to Horqin, Prince Dalu is not angry, right?"

The little soldier said: "Yes, the general predicts things like a god."

"Since that's the case, that's all for Guo Erluo's department. You send someone to inform the rest of the tribes and ask them to sell food and grass to Horqin. Don't worry about having no food for the winter. This general will definitely return the food and grass to them before winter comes, and give them generous gifts. .”

"Remember, you can't sell too much, and it must meet the capabilities of each department."

Xiaobing cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

After the little soldier left, Yu Jie asked Chen Wenyi puzzled, "Why did the general ask them to buy enough food and grass?"

In his view, Mongolia's agriculture is backward, and there are very few grains such as rice and wheat that can be stored for a long time.

Forage is their biggest weakness, once they solve this problem, it will be difficult to fight.

Chen Wenyi sighed: "If there is not enough food and grass, do you think Prince Daluan really has the courage to fight?"

He asked the various ministries to sell grain and grass to Horqin, just to give Prince Daru the courage to fight.

Yu Jie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said something that deserved a beating, "But General, aren't you giving him too much courage? What if we can't fight..."

Chen Wenyi gave him a cold look, and he swallowed the second half of the sentence consciously.

"Subordinate Crow's Mouth, we must be able to beat it!"

Chen Wenyi sneered, "It's good if we can't beat him. If we die here, then the crime of Prince Dali will be confirmed."

Yu Jie was so frightened that he almost jumped up, "General, you don't really think so, do you?"

In order to be charged with the crime of Prince Shidaer, he sacrificed his own life, isn't the price too high?
Of course Chen Wenyi didn't think so.

His life is to save his family and protect Chen Wenxin.

How can it be easily folded on the grassland!

"Pass down my general's order, tonight the whole army will have a carnival at the bonfire and drink to their heart's content!"

His eyes were serious, and a sly smile flashed across his face.

He didn't believe it, Prince Dali wasn't fooled...

In the cold autumn season, with Chen Wenxin, a master who is afraid of the cold, Yikun Palace has been smoked on the stove early.

The emperor stayed in Yikun Palace after the morning court, and the two of them reclined on the couch together to read poems and essays.

Because Chen Wenxin has been teaching my elder brothers arithmetic for a long time, all the books I read are "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and the like.The emperor laughed at her for becoming a pedant, so he took her to read more poems.

In the Qing Dynasty, mathematics was a serious study, and stereotyped essays were even more so.

As for poetry, music and Fu, they are all stuff, not serious literature.

The emperor said: "Girls in the boudoir, it's better to learn more about these elegant things."

In the eyes of the emperor, those weaving and knitting knitwear are the stuff of common people's wives.

Although practical, there is no elegance.

The concubines in the palace are noble, so they naturally make elegant things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

It's a pity that most of the emperor's harem are women who can only chant the Buddha's name and don't even know a few big characters.

These women were not chosen by the emperor himself, and it was not uncommon for them to disagree with him.

Only Chen Wenxin was different.

Chen Wenxin gave him a blank look when he heard the words, "Xuan Ye has taught me a lesson? If you don't believe me, let's compete, who can write more poems?"

She has liked poetry since she was a child, and when she opened the book and saw touching poems, she would definitely memorize them.

I think when she was watching Dream of the Red Chamber back then, she had memorized every single word in long poems such as Song of Burying Flowers and Autumn Window and Wind and Rain.

The emperor hurriedly begged for mercy, "That's what I mean, that is, you are elegant, and all the concubines in the palace are very vulgar except you."

She chuckled, "Xuanye is used to making jokes, I'll tell Debi and her sister."

"Not to mention, since you took them to write the Hundred Years Picture last time, now Concubine Hui Rong and the others have started to practice calligraphy."

Not only Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, they are all proud of their good handwriting in the harem.

Not only concubines are practicing, but even court ladies and eunuchs are practicing in their spare time.

Ding Chang didn't think about getting some fancy Hanfu all day long, and just stayed in his room practicing calligraphy obediently all day long.

For this, the emperor is very grateful to Chen Wenxin.

Thank her for making a good start, so that the harem can get a short period of peace.

"Report! Urgent military situation in eight hundred miles!"

The frontline military report directly spread to Yikun Palace, scaring everyone in Yikun Palace to jump.

Chen Wenxin also heard the voice outside, and panicked all of a sudden.

The emperor hurriedly hugged her, "It's not necessarily a bad thing, almost all the current military reports are urgent, so don't be afraid."

Only then did she let go of half of her heart, lest something happened to Chen Wenyi on the battlefield.

The small table brought in the person delivering the military report, and a man who looked like a soldier knelt down and reported: "The Horqin military report is urgent, the general Chen Wenyi leads the whole army to drink and have fun, and have a bonfire feast."

Chen Wenxin lost her mind all of a sudden, even if he said that Chen Wenyi was injured, she could understand, how could it be...

The emperor frowned slightly, and explained to Chen Wenxin: "This is the military report from the supervising army."

Not from the master.

So he called the main general Chen Wenyi, not the general.

"Report! Urgent military situation in eight hundred miles!"

There was another hurried and heavy footsteps outside, this time the palace people had experience, so they brought them in directly.

"Your Majesty, the Horqin army is reporting urgently. The general has lured the enemy into deep. The Qing and Horqin armies have already started fighting! This is a handwritten letter from the general to the emperor!"

Known as a general, it can be seen that he is Chen Wenyi's subordinate.

He handed over a letter with both hands, the emperor suddenly stood up and took the letter.

"Which side started the war first?"

The soldier who returned looked up, showing an uncontrollable smile.

"Back to the emperor, it's Horqin!"
