Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 290 Meeting in the Grassland
In late September, Shengjia set off again to Horqin Grassland.

Worshiping ancestors is a grand event, just like the emperors of the Han people in the past dynasties liked to worship the heavens, and they would not dare to do so in times of non-powerful national power.

The emperor has just recovered Taiwan, which is naturally a great cause, and he is worthy of his ancestors when he worships them.

Chen Wenxin was delighted that before going to Shengjing, he could visit the vast Horqin Grassland.

"Xuan Ye, do you still remember that when we first went hunting in the suburbs of Beijing, you said you wanted to take me to see the real prairie?"

The two snuggled up in the carriage, and Chen Wenxin couldn't help but be delighted to see the grassland outside through the gap in the curtain of the carriage.

She pulled the emperor to look at it, and said this again.

The emperor said: "Why don't you remember? At that time, Nian Nian didn't know how to ride a horse, and when he saw the small meadow in the suburbs of Beijing, he also exclaimed."

The emperor laughed at her that she had never seen the world, and said that he must find a chance to take her to Mongolia to see, and now it is realized.

"Let's stay in Horqin for a while longer. The Mongolian folk customs are strong, and we don't have to be too formal when we go to the countryside. Then we will also ride horses and chase goats and rabbits. It will be very fun."

Chen Wenxin asked suspiciously: "Aren't you going to Shengjing? I heard that the weather there is extremely cold. If we don't take advantage of this season to hurry up, what time will we waste on the way?"

The emperor hit her head, "Do you really think that I am going to Shengjing to worship ancestors? I have to choose a good time to go. I am going on a tour this time, just using ancestor worship as an excuse. The main thing is to come and see The situation on the Mongolian side."

Although the emperor has placed a lot of spies, he still has to see some things in person, and he has to talk to those Mongolian leaders in person about some things.

"In this place of Mongolia, how many princesses of our Qing Dynasty were compensated. Of course, our ancestors of the Qing Dynasty also married several Mongolian queens. This place is wild, and so are the people. The three emperors don't care, and the five emperors die."

"It's the ancestors who were brilliant, how many generations of marriages, how many generations of divisions and canonizations, that made Mongolia the surrender it is today. On the surface, it's just paying the princess, but in fact, it's more money and food."

Looking at the vast grassland in the distance, the emperor couldn't help thinking.

Chen Wenxin nodded and said: "Yes, our ancestors are wise. Mongolia is a big place, so we don't have to worry about it being divided. What we fear most is unification. The Song Dynasty suffered from this and let the Mongols invade the Central Plains."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help asking: "You are a Han Chinese. In your eyes, there is no difference between us Manchus and Mongols, right?"

When the question of political stance was mentioned unexpectedly, Chen Wen was taken aback.

"That's different. Mongolia is a barbaric place where people drink blood. Xuan Ye has also read so many history books. What kind of life did the people live in the Yuan Dynasty? Xuan Ye never let the people live like that, but they lived worse than in the Ming Dynasty. Be rich."

"If you want to compare the Qing Dynasty with the Yuan Dynasty, don't say that the Manchu ministers are not happy, even I am not happy."

She thought silently in her heart, no matter what Manchu, Han, and Mongolian you are, after hundreds of years, you will be the Chinese nation.

The emperor was also happy when he heard this, "You are right. I am not the same as those Mongolian leaders. Look at me, how can I look different from the Han people?"

The Manchus and the Han people seem to have no big difference, but the Mongols have a bigger difference, all because they live in felt tents and eat cattle and sheep as their staple food.

Therefore, the Mongols appear to be more sturdy, and compared with those who eat rice and noodles as their staple food, they are much rougher.

In addition, the grassland is endless and the sunshine is abundant.These Mongolians live by grazing, so their skin is darker than theirs.

This is what makes the difference in appearance.

Chen Wenxin said: "If we take a Mongolian child back to Beijing to raise, won't he be like a child in Beijing when he grows up? After all, no matter Manchu, Han, Mongolian, or Mongolian, they belong to the same family. Xuanye looked at Nan Huairen, you know what I said is right."

She suddenly mentioned Nan Huairen, a foreign devil, which made the emperor burst out laughing.

It's also interesting to savor her words carefully after laughing.

Manchus, Hans, Mongolians, all have black hair, black eyes, and yellow complexion.

He nodded and said: "If you talk about it in a big way, it is indeed a family."

"Nowadays, the people of these three clans all belong to Xuanye, so it is natural to talk about it. As a king, he has a broad, kind and tolerant heart, which can make the territory of the Qing Dynasty vast. Not only the territory, but also the people's hearts."

"If the Han people are excluded, the emperor will be the emperor of the Manchus. If the Han people are included, the emperor will be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. If the Mongols are included, the Qing Dynasty will only become wider."

On the spur of the moment, Chen Wenxin said a few more words.

After she finished speaking, the emperor asked the emperor to look at her with a smile and kept silent.

She said embarrassingly: "I am talking too much. Xuanye knows it all, why should I talk too much."

"It's not just talking too much."

The emperor put her in his arms and said: "You are the woman with the broadest heart I have ever seen. I am really lucky. I am not allowed to make decisions in the harem draft. I didn't expect to find you."

The emperor is not a person who is not a womanizer. Who in the world is not a womanizer?

However, the emperor often had such a reputation before, if it weren't for the fact that he had several heirs, some people would doubt the emperor's sexual orientation or bodily functions.

One is because of his diligent administration. Since he ascended the throne, the Qing Dynasty has experienced constant internal and external troubles.

He was devoted to political affairs, so he didn't pay much attention to the women in the harem.

Second, those women are not what he really likes, so his mind is also light.

It wasn't until Chen Wenxin appeared that all this changed.

Chen Wenxin smiled and said: "Xuan Ye forgot about the Empress Dowager? Am I comparable to her old lady?"

"The emperor's grandmother has a unique vision in political affairs. She supported my Huang Ama with one hand, and supported me with the other. In terms of her achievements in the Qing Dynasty, she naturally deserves the greatest credit."

The emperor changed the subject, "However, when it comes to vision, you must know that the Empress Dowager personally made a decree that women with bound feet cannot enter the Shenwu Gate. This is because they don't want Han women to enter the palace as concubines, for fear of chaos Full blood."

If it is said that the Han people are afraid of messing up the blood of the Manchus, the empress dowager herself is a Mongol, so wouldn't she also mess up the blood of the Manchus?
Thinking about it, she regarded the Mongols as her own and the Han people as her enemies.

Chen Wenxin didn't dare to say anything wrong with the Empress Dowager, so she kept silent.

The emperor naturally understood her small thoughts, so he smiled and said: "You have something to say, after all, there are only two of us here. I won't tell others, what else do you dare not say?"

Now that the emperor has said so, she doesn't have any scruples anymore.

"The Empress Dowager regarded the Han people as her enemies because she entered the customs with the Taizu. At that time, the Manchus attacked the Han people and robbed the territory of the Central Plains. The Empress Dowager was right to think so, but she should change it later.

"Later, the emperor of the Manchus became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was composed of the Manchus and the Han people. The Han people were no longer the enemy. You see, the Empress Dowager treated me so well. I think she has changed her mind."

She smiled and said: "In my opinion, the empress dowager is the most generous. How old can I be, and I dare to compare myself with the empress dowager after I have learned something? I only hope that the gods and Buddhas will bless the empress dowager with a long life and call me Learn more from her."

"You have never believed in gods and Buddhas, why are you talking about gods and Buddhas now?"

"I don't believe in gods and Buddhas, but the empress dowager does. Gods and Buddhas don't bless me, an outsider, but the empress dowager, a believer."

The emperor was not happy, "Don't talk nonsense, I am the emperor, and I will guard you. I will keep you like the empress dowager, and have a long life."

The Empress Dowager is already more than 70 years old, which is considered a long life in this era.

"Xuan Ye's golden words, I am sure to live a long life, but I am afraid that I will not get a little bit of Wansui. Hahaha!"

The two laughed together, and the laughter spread to the outside of the carriage, and Yu Jie who was following Chen Wenyi couldn't help laughing either.

Chen Wenyi glanced at him, he recklessly pushed the horse forward, and spoke to Chen Wenyi.

"General, what do you think the emperor and the empress said, so funny?"

Ouyang Jiaoyue, who was originally riding the horse beside Chen Wenyi, heard the words, got into the horse's belly and hurried forward for a while, getting away from the two of them.

"Hey, why is she running, it seems like a big bug is chasing him."

Chen Wenyi looked at him coldly, "Oh, she might be afraid of blood splashing on her body."

After speaking, he raised his hand, revealing the black barrel of the gun in his sleeve.

Yu Jie looked at the two deep black holes in the gun barrel, couldn't help swallowing, and laughed dryly twice.

"General, I was wrong. I dare not again."

Chen Wenyi gave him a blank look, and when the guards sent ahead to scout the way came back to report, he ignored him.

"General, we are approaching Lord Horqin's big tent. Lord Horqin and the leaders of various tribes gathered in the big tent to welcome the holy car."

"Did you see anything unusual along the way?"

The guard replied: "I haven't seen anything unusual. The grassland is vast, and if there is any abnormality, you can see everything at a glance. General, please rest assured."

Chen Wenyi nodded, "Go down."

He hurried forward two steps, facing the bright yellow curtain of the emperor's carriage, said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The car curtain was opened a crack, Chen Wenxin poked out her eyes and winked playfully at him.

He smiled helplessly, he still had to talk to the emperor about the serious matter first.

"The front is almost within the range of Prince Horqin's big tent, and the Mongolian leaders will pick him up there. Does the emperor have any orders?"

The emperor's voice came from inside the carriage, "It's just a matter of spreading gossip, so that the Mongolian leaders don't have to restrain themselves and welcome them from afar."

Chen Wenyi asked one of the guards on horseback to spread the words to the front. Although it was a gossip, it conveyed the emperor's sympathy for these Mongolian leaders.

The emperor came here with the intention of being gentle, and the work on these scenes must not be sloppy.

Although everyone knew that those Mongolian leaders would not take the emperor's words seriously, and would welcome them from afar.

It's just that if the emperor doesn't say such kind words, he will appear mean.

The chariots and horses were rustling, and the brigade headed towards the Horqin king's tent.
