Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 308
After Zhungeer's envoys left, the emperor called all the ministers to the main hall to discuss the princess's descent.

Everyone was surprised, they didn't expect the Zhungeer Ministry to have such an idea.

"This can be considered as thick-skinned as a city wall. If you are not a minister first, you still have the face to ask the emperor to marry the princess?"

"Exactly, the princess married the Zhungeer tribe, and there will be a war in one or two years. How will the royal blood survive?"

According to the ferocity of the Zhungeer tribe, once there is a war with the Qing Dynasty, the princess who descended from the Zhungeer tribe will definitely not survive.

Why doesn't the emperor think so?

It's just that it's useless to accuse the Zhungeer Ministry of being greedy now. Whether to grant this request, and if not, how it will end, is what the emperor cares about.

"What do you think, should you agree to Zhungeer's request?"

As soon as the emperor said something, the courtiers who had just said so much that they scolded Galdan all fell silent.

Scolding is scolding, Ge Erdan is brazen, but the emperor has no confidence to refuse.

Now that Taiwan has just been recovered, the national treasury is empty, and taxes from all over the country have not yet been collected.

The Zhungeer army is strong, and it is not wise to fight at this time.

What's more, the emperor did not reject the request of the cork on the spot, which shows that the emperor is also hesitating in his heart.

The ministers didn't dare to speak nonsense, if they said that the princess should be let down, they were afraid that the emperor would get angry and say that he was timid and blindly seeking perfection.

If it is said that the princess should not be allowed to descend, the Zhungeer Ministry will find an excuse to attack if the emperor really obeys.

Who dares to take such a big responsibility lightly?

Seeing that everyone was silent, the emperor understood in his heart.

Cursed people vigorously, but no one dared to ask the emperor to refuse this request.

The emperor sighed in his heart. In fact, he himself was not like this. He also hated and didn't want the princess to descend.

But he still couldn't express his dissatisfaction in front of the envoy, and he vented his anger in the name of offending Chen Wenxin.

"Mingzhu, tell me."

Nalan Mingzhu was named, and his daughter Nalan Yulu had already proposed marriage with Chen Wenyi, and now Nalan's family and Chen's family are both prosperous and ruined.

The emperor favored Chen Xihai and his son as much as the Nalan family, so he took a look at Chen Xihai before speaking.

I saw Chen Xihai's face showing a trace of worry, frowning and lowering his head and sighing softly.

He suddenly understood that Chen Xihai's thinking was also correct.

He was an upright man, and he frowned because he felt that the princess had been wronged by her descent.

But the treasury is empty and it is not suitable for war. Sending a princess can ease the current situation between the two sides. This is the only choice.

So he sighed, sighed that the princess would still be sent to the Zhungeer Ministry.

Nalan Mingzhu said: "I think it is inappropriate to start a war now. The Zhungeer's military strength is not weak. If the emperor rejects their marriage proposal, he will give them a reason to start a war. For the sake of the innocent people at the border, we can only sacrifice the princess one person."

What Nalan Mingzhu said was thoughtful, and everyone seconded it one after another, but no one objected.

Even those generals disagreed with fighting, which made the emperor happy and worried.

The joy is that these ministers seldom have the same opinion, but the worry is that this time they admit that they have fallen, and they will be able to fight in the future. Will these generals be afraid of the Zhungeer Ministry?

Chen Xihai is also an extremely careful and sensitive person in political affairs, he seemed to have sensed the emperor's thoughts, so he gave Chen Wenyi a wink.

Chen Wenyi is a military general, he has led soldiers on the battlefield, some things he said are better than those of himself, who has always been in charge of the guards in the palace.

Chen Wenyi nodded knowingly, stood up and said loudly to the emperor: "If the emperor cares about the relationship between father and daughter, or doesn't want to boost Galdan's prestige, I am willing to lead troops to fight against the Zhungeer tribe!"

Everyone agreed to send the princess to marry, but not to fight. Now that Chen Wenyi stood up and said that he was willing to lead the army, wouldn't it just appear that he was brave and fearless?

The generals all stood up one after another, saying that if the emperor wanted to fight, he would be willing to lead the army.

They thought that Chen Wenyi couldn't get all the limelight by himself.

Seeing everyone like this, the emperor felt better.

He waved his hands and said: "I understand what you mean. The princess's downfall is not only a matter of the court, but also a matter of the inner circle. I also need to listen to the opinion of the harem before making a conclusion."

Everyone resigned after hearing the words, the emperor sighed and asked Li Dequan, "How soon is it?"

Li Dequan came up to welcome him, and said with a smile: "Today is Concubine Qin's birthday, the emperor said during the day that he would have dinner at Concubine Qin's place in the evening. Now that it's getting dark, will the emperor go now?"

The emperor looked at the sky outside, stood up and walked out.

"You're the only one who talks too much nonsense!"

Li Dequan hurriedly followed, this time the emperor scolded him so convincingly, he was indeed talking nonsense.

How long did the emperor fail to do what he promised Concubine Qin?
He smiled and followed, and hurried to Guanlan Pavilion with ease.

In Guanlan Pavilion, Chen Wenxin was in a daze under the lamp, neither joking with Bai Lu or the others, nor reading or writing.

She was just in a daze, making Bai Lu and the others afraid to disturb her.

After a while, seeing that the sky was getting dark and the emperor hadn't come yet, Bai Lu brought a few dishes of tea and fruits and put them on the kang table in front of her.

"Master, the emperor may be caught up in political affairs, so why don't you have some refreshments first?"

Chen Wenxin waved her hand, "I'm not in the mood for snacks right now."

When the emperor hurriedly called the ministers to the main hall to discuss matters, the news spread in Changchun Garden.

It is said that Zhungeer's envoys asked the emperor to marry a princess, so the emperor discussed with the ministers, but it is not yet known whether it will be approved or not.

She knew that no matter how reluctant and hesitant the emperor was, he would eventually agree to Zhungeer's envoy's marriage proposal.

——Princesses in the Qing Dynasty are worthless, they were born to go to Mongolia to get married.

Compared with the stability of the country, compared with the safety of the people, the emperor will never begrudge a princess.

Even if the tribe that proposed marriage is the Zhungeer tribe, this tribe is destined to be hostile in the future.

Other princesses who married far away in Mongolia may have no relatives, or may be homesick.After all, they still have a noble status and a peaceful and prosperous life.

It can be seen from the life of Princess Heshuo Wenyi marrying Lord Horqin.

However, marrying Ge Erdan from the Zhungeer tribe meant that blood might be splashed on the grassland, and the fragrance would disappear.

What is the difference between such a marriage and a happy event?
Chen Wen thought to himself, if the emperor wants to drop a princess, nine out of ten it will be a big blow.

Looking around inside and outside the palace, there are only three princesses like this.

Big Gege is at the right age, Er Gege and Fifth Princess are still young, and they have to wait another year or two.

Ever since Da Gege and the others became princesses, when they heard the news that the envoys from the Zhungeer Ministry had come to see them, there was a lot of turmoil and panic.

As soon as the news spread, both of them ran to Guanlan Pavilion and cried bitterly.

At that time, the emperor was still discussing the matter with those ministers in the main hall, Chen Wenxin comforted the two princesses, and even he felt that the words he said were powerless.

After finally coaxing them to go back, she had long since lost her good mood today, and she just stared blankly under the lamp.

After this trance, it was time for the sky to get dark.

Bai Lu knew that she was worried about Da Gege and Er Gege, Chen Wenxin had always taken care of them when they entered the palace, and treated them sincerely.

Now that she heard that the emperor might send one to the Zhungeer Ministry, how could she not be worried?

Bai Lu persuaded: "Master, the emperor may not send the princess to the Zhungeer Ministry, it's too early to worry about it now."

Chen Wenxin shook her head vigorously, "You don't know! The emperor will definitely send the princess to Zhungeer, definitely!"

The emperor was walking to the door, when he heard her words, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, and stood there in a daze.

Bai Lu also asked strangely: "How does master know that the emperor will send the princess there?"

"The emperor attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and even more to the country, the country, and the people of the world. When he ascended the throne since he was a child, the most important thing in his life, and almost the only thing, is to be a good emperor. A good emperor, right? Will spare a princess at this time."

That's right, she was sad because the princess would be sent to Zhungeer.

But if she is the emperor, she will make the same choice.

She knows the emperor, this person and this identity.

In the past, she was also puzzled, and she was also sad and disappointed about the behavior of the emperor.

With these years of being together, she gradually understood the emperor and his difficulties.

Sometimes he himself endured the pain and injury, and he had to take the overall situation into consideration.

Many people think that being an emperor is so glorious, yes, the most glorious moment for an emperor is when all the officials pay homage, right?

But all those officials have their own small calculations hidden in their hearts. Some want money, some want fame, and some want power.

The emperor took care of everything, checked and balanced all parties, and maintained the stability of the court.

It looks beautiful, but it is actually full of bitterness.

There are many beauties in his harem, but none of them are the woman he wants, and he doesn't have a bosom friend except Chen Wenxin.

He got up before dawn every day, went to court, met ministers to discuss political affairs, and reviewed memorials until late at night.

He was really tired and couldn't complain.

The emperor is really a good emperor.

Chen Wen thought about it, and suddenly realized that the sky was getting dark, and the emperor might be coming over.

"The emperor said that he would come to eat, and he will definitely not break his promise. Quickly ask the small kitchen to prepare well, put all the dishes in the drawer to keep warm, and bring them over as soon as the emperor arrives."

Chen Wenxin got up and went to bed, with tears on her face, "Go fetch water and let me wash my face, so that the emperor won't feel bad when he sees it."

To send the princess to Zhungeer, the emperor must feel very sad.

When the emperor came, she had to chat and laugh with the emperor, and put aside the troubles for the time being.

It would be bad if there were tears on the face and it brought back the emperor's sadness.

Bai Lu nodded in agreement, then went out to fetch water.

When she saw the emperor standing at the door, she was startled, and was about to salute, but the emperor shook her head and stopped her.

With a wink from him, Bai Lu acted as if she hadn't seen the emperor, and still went outside to fetch water.

The emperor stood in the shadow of the porch in a daze, thinking of Chen Wenxin's words in his heart, it was as warm as spring for a while.

Boya Ziqi's encounter, could it be like this?
He secretly sighed in his heart, Xuan Ye, Xuan Ye, God treats you too kindly, causing both your parents to die when you were young.

God also treats you well, let you have a thought, what more can you ask for...

Since Chen Wen wanted him to have dinner happily, then he would wait for her to wash her face before going in, to fulfill her kindness.
