Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 261 Sure enough
The next day, after confirming that there were no poor families, Chen Wenxin ordered someone to pack the money and send some of it to Chen Wenyi.

Naturally, I copied a copy of that list and gave it to Chen Wenyi, so as not to lose the hearts of those young ladies.

The other part, she handed over to the emperor.

The Shotgun team can't spend so much, and the rest is handed over to the emperor for him to use in military expenses, so that he can make the best use of everything.

She had discussed this with Chen Wenyi in advance, and Chen Wenyi also agreed with her approach, so she had nothing to worry about.

Furthermore, handing over the money to the emperor can also silence some people's mouths.

In case someone slandered that she took the opportunity to make money or something, she would be able to deal with it by filling the treasury with money.

Chen Wenyi used all the money to make guns, and registered them with the Ministry of War to ensure that there was no hidden possession.

The officials of the Ministry of War wanted to show some kindness at no cost, so they said that they would return the salary that Chen Wenyi had put into himself earlier.

Anyway, there is enough money to make guns now, and he should take his share back.

Chen Wenyi didn't want this money, but he used his own salary to pay for the army, how should the other generals deal with it?

Not only would other people not say that he was upright and upright, but they would feel that because of him alone, others' reputations were damaged.

He is dissatisfied because of his young age, so he makes more enemies.

Therefore, he asked for a part of the money he had put in, and kept a part of it for nothing, just saying that he donated it like those young ladies.

The matter was settled, but afterward Chen Wenxin disguised herself as Chen Wenli and went to the green camp to practice with a gun, and the soldiers looked at her differently.

Everyone heard about how Concubine Qin made those young ladies donate money, and knew her marksmanship.

After more careful inquiry, the fourth son of the Chen family is only 12 years old now, how can he be so old?

The so-called Chen Wenli looks so similar to Chen Wenyi again, presumably she is the rumored Concubine Qin.

Chen Wenxin knew that her identity was exposed, so she never went to the green camp again.

Anyway, her marksmanship has been practiced very well, and if she has the opportunity to go hunting in the future, she can practice on the hunting ground.

At the same time, the situation in the battle to regain Taiwan gradually improved.

The emperor listened to the suggestion of Yao Qisheng, governor of Fujian, and used Shi Lang, a general who had surrendered from Taiwan, to train the Han Eight Banners Navy.

This Shi Lang originally followed the Zheng family, and was also a well-known figure in the Taiwan Navy.

He betrayed the Zheng family and fled to Fujian, so many people criticized him as a traitor and disliked him very much.

The emperor didn't like such a traitorous minister, but under Yao Qisheng's suggestion, he still agreed.

There was a lot of opposition in the court, and the ministers were worried that the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty would gather in Fujian and occupy the land to cause rebellion.

Now there is another rebellious Shi Lang, how can the ministers feel at ease?
So the topic that had been settled before was discussed again, and all the ministers wrote to the emperor one after another, should they send another Eight Banners army to look at it?

The Eight Banners troops withdrew with great difficulty, and the emperor would naturally refuse to put them back.

If the Manchu Eight Banners Navy was still in Fujian, these ministers would certainly not follow, maybe the emperor couldn't help it.

But now that the withdrawal has been withdrawn, do you want them to go again?

It's easier said than done.

The emperor ignored this, and there were more petty tricks underneath.

That day the emperor had just received the ministers in the main hall, and went back to Guanlan Pavilion regardless of the scorching sun, and scolded Suo'etu as soon as he entered the door.

Chen Wenxin rushed out to take a look, only to see the sweat on the emperor's forehead, Li Dequan and others were standing far outside the courtyard.

——The emperor forbids them to follow.

Seeing this, Bai Lu didn't dare to keep it, so she bowed and withdrew.

Chen Wenxin hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the emperor, and took off the veil on his skirt to wipe his sweat.

"If you have something to say, why do you have to be so angry?"

The emperor is also very angry. Although he has been the emperor for more than 20 years, he is only 30 years old after all.

Sometimes it is inevitable to be impatient.

Normally, when the emperor was angry with the adults, at most he would come back and scold Li Dequan and the others.

Thinking about it today, I was so angry that I left Li Dequan and the others behind.

"Why don't you tell me not to be angry? Suo'etu, an old man, I have established a crown prince, and he has made his heart bigger!"

Suo'etu is the emperor's father-in-law in name, and the emperor never scolded him like this even if he was displeased.

Chen Wenxin intuitively felt that she shouldn't be involved in this matter, and she should avoid suspicion.

So she only cared about wiping the emperor's sweat and fanning him beside her.

If he wanted to say something, he would naturally say it.

If he doesn't want to talk, it's useless to ask.

Sure enough, the emperor didn't care about her silence, and said directly: "I received a memorial from Fujian today, and the governor of Zhejiang actually interfered with the drill of the Fujian navy. Shi Lang is a Han and a traitor, and he is always restricted by the governor of Zhejiang."

How did the governor of Zhejiang intervene in the Fujian navy, so he scolded Suo'etu?
Chen Wenxin asked tentatively: "This Governor of Zhejiang Province belongs to Mr. Suo?"

The emperor snorted coldly, "How could Shi Lang and Yao Qisheng be restrained if it wasn't for the support of the head of state?"

The emperor previously appointed the second elder brother as the crown prince, and at the same time restored Tong Guifei, originally to show favor to the two clans.

Unexpectedly, this kindness was too great, so that Suo'etu suddenly became ecstatic, and dared to extend his hand to the battle of the platform that the emperor cared most about.

The emperor doesn't care about his clique formation or corruption.

Only this matter involves the safety of the country, and the emperor can't ignore it.

"Hmph, everyone says that the foundation of the country should be established early. Sure enough, once the foundation of the country is established, the minds of these people will become active. When is it now? Are they only thinking about their own power and not about the country?"

The emperor was so angry that he grabbed a teacup and held it up high. Chen Wenxin shrank his neck back in fright.

The teacup was almost crushed by his hand, the joints in his hand turned white, and the veins bulged.

Finally, he put the teacup back on the table.

"Ugh……"

This sigh made Chen Wen feel sad.

"Xuan Ye..."

She didn't know how to comfort him. This involved both the court's war and political affairs.

The emperor was so worried, but she couldn't speak out.

"Scared you? It's my fault. Why did you lose your temper in front of you?"

He was in a hurry just now, and he was going to smash the teacup.Seeing Chen Wenxin's neck shrinking back, it occurred to her that she would be afraid.

He endured it again.

Seeing that the emperor's tone softened, she said: "The emperor was just at the main hall, but you reprimanded Lord Suo?"

"If you reprimand him face to face, it would be good if this evil fire is sent out."

After all, the emperor was concerned about the in-law relationship and didn't want to hurt each other's face.

What's more, Suo'etu has many party members in the court, so the emperor's direct attack would be alarming.

In Chen Wenxin's view, this is by no means a good thing.

The emperor's taboo towards Suo'etu made him endure it again and again.

These heart diseases accumulate, and over time it will become a serious disease, and the emperor will have to eradicate it sooner or later.

Let Suo'etu be powerless.

Not only Suo'etu, but also the emperor was dissatisfied with Tong Guowei.

It should be said that before today's incident, the emperor had always had the idea of ​​abandoning Tong Guowei to protect Suo'etu.

After all, Suo'etu is the prince's maternal grandfather. If the prince ascends the throne in the future, at least he doesn't have to worry about his rebellion.

However, Tong Guowei and Tong Guifei fought for power and profit, and the emperor has been unhappy for a long time.

If the Crown Prince ascends the throne and Concubine Tong Gui becomes the Empress Dowager, and the two families compete for the power of their relatives, it will be a catastrophe for the Qing Dynasty.

But when what happened today, the emperor didn't even want to protect Suo'etu.

Right now, the most trusted first-rank official in the court is still a Nalan Pearl.

"This old man will really give me problems! He has always been displeased with my re-use of Han ministers. I didn't expect that now he would dare to blatantly go against my wishes!"

In court, all the Manchu ministers headed by Suo'etu strongly opposed Fujian's army deployment.

Oppose the use of all Han soldiers, oppose the appointment of rebel general Shi Lang, and oppose Yao Qisheng, the Han governor.

They said that they were afraid that the Han soldiers would rebel in the territory under the leadership of the Han generals.

There are many mountains and dense forests in Fujian, and it is far away from the capital. If there is a rebellion, it will be very difficult to deal with.

Didn't Shang Kexi occupy this place in the past?
But the emperor thought about it carefully. After all, they were still afraid that the Han people would make meritorious deeds and affect the status of the Manchu ministers.

Due to the increase of Fujian's defenders, Taiwan could not go to land to rob, and there was already a shortage of food and grass.

Although Fujian has plenty of food and grass, it is not enough to feed so many troops, and it has to be transported to Zhejiang.

How did they rebel?

If he wanted to rebel, he didn't even have food, grass and money, so it goes without saying that Yao Qisheng was a pauper who had been demoted many times.

Even Shi Lang, who fled from Taiwan was just a broken boat with a few family members.

He didn't have the silver to rebel.

The emperor didn't worry if he thought about it like this, and he became more and more dissatisfied with Suo'etu and others.

Usually, it's fine if they don't deal with the Han ministers, but now it's a major matter related to the safety of the country, and he dares to stop it!
The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, "I will give him some hints, if he stops early, I will not pursue it. If he persists in his obsession, he will be punished for several crimes."

The emperor is holding the pigtails of these ministers, what about corruption and bribery, what about forming cliques for personal gain.

Whether it is Suo'etu or Tong Guowei, even Nalan Pearl is not immune.

The emperor took these evidences and usually did not attack them. If he wanted to happen, the evidence would be convincing.

Will Suo'etu stop as soon as possible?
Chen Wenxin was stunned. In her opinion, Suo'etu was not a character who would stop.

These old ministers have always been very proud because of their age and because they have followed the emperor since he was young.

Now Suo'etu still has a stable prince backing him, so it's not bad if he doesn't treat himself as the emperor.

Close hand?

This is not Suo'etu's style.

If Suo'etu wanted to move, Tong Guowei would definitely do the same.

It is impossible for the emperor to let Tong Guowei be above Suo'etu, lest he and Tong Guifei become ambitious.

If these two are pulled down, isn't Nalan Pearl the only one?

The emperor will not let such a dominance happen.

"Nian Nian, I am determined to let your father take over the protection of Changchun Garden. If you return to the palace in the future, your father will still take over the defense of Qianqing Palace."

really!
