Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 370
When she was talking, she put one hand in front of her body to support her protruding abdomen, and the other hand rested leisurely by her side, looking very comfortable.

It's hard to imagine that a young woman in the harem can have such a bearing in the court.

Don't get angry and prestige, but hide murderous intentions.

Make people dare not make mistakes easily.

The officials of Suo'etu's party looked at each other for several rounds, but no one dared to stand up after all.

Suo'etu didn't even go out, what did they go out for?
You must become cannon fodder!
Of course Suo'etu understood that Tong Guowei was taken to the border by the emperor, and now these old Manchurian ministers are headed by him.

If he retreats, he will retreat without fighting, and he will have no power to fight back.

Just watching Chen Xihai, father and daughter, control the government and take away the power of their relatives?
That's impossible!
Just when Suo'etu was about to raise his feet and stand out, Chen Wenxin said leisurely: "Master Chen has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and supports justice. If anyone dares to commit crimes and refuse to obey the orders of the palace, please order the master to clear the palace." The guards outside dragged the rebellious officials and thieves out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded them for public display!"

Ah bah, what is Mr. Chen loyal to the emperor, patriotic and supportive of justice?
It's not just because that's your own father!
Suo'etu said angrily: "Is the imperial concubine asking father and daughter to join forces to control the court? Don't forget, there are at least [-]% of the guards in this palace, who are Tong Guowei's personal soldiers!"

Suo'etu and Tong Guowei have been in charge of the palace guards for more than ten years, and they have a deep foundation, which is definitely not comparable to Chen Xihai, a latecomer.

Chen Wenxin wanted to blackmail them with this, so it was wrong.

Big deal, just fight to the death!
Chen Wenxin smiled lightly, with a calm expression on his face.

"The chief general of the green battalion, Chen Wenyi, is my second brother, and he is still leading the army in Yaksa. The green battalion guard Chen Wenren, who is my second brother, is in charge of the green battalion in central Beijing."

"Yesterday, I sent a letter to him. I'm afraid that the Green Army is outside the palace at this moment, fully armed and waiting. Master Suo really wants to force the palace to commit crimes, so he should count his bargaining chips."

Speaking so bluntly, all the ministers were sweating and turned pale.

The situation in front of him was like a cannon fire that was about to explode.

If today's matter cannot be resolved peacefully, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the palace...

Chen Wenxin looked directly at Suo'etu, and Suo'etu looked back at him.

a long time.

Suddenly a person popped out from some corner and shouted, "I object, I object to the imperial concubine presiding over the government!"

The heartstrings of all the ministers broke, and they looked back nervously.

Chen Wenxin suddenly got up from the golden seat.

"Come here! Drag this person out and behead him for public display!"

The tall and mighty guards rushed into the palace and grabbed the minister. The movement was so fast that people could not see clearly that he had already been arrested.

"I'll ask again one last time, is there anyone who objects to my presiding over the government?"

Now no one dared to speak, and even breathed carefully, lest they be killed by mistake.

Suo'etu gritted his teeth, feeling that he was too old to be manipulated by a teenage girl like this, it was really embarrassing.

He wanted to do something very much, but at this moment his body couldn't obey his control and he couldn't move.

He didn't dare to gamble.

I dare not bet on how decisive and ruthless Chen Wenxin is.

What if she really didn't care about the Hesheli family at all, what if she was really angry for a while, what if she dragged herself out and chopped herself...

Once the bet is wrong, it is a life.

Soetu kept his mouth shut.

After a long silence, Chen Wenxin picked up the teacup again and took a sip.

The fragrance of tea is so overflowing that some people can't help but think of the aroma of milk tea, chestnuts, and the aroma of cooking dinner in the small kitchen when kneeling outside Yikun Palace...

"Since all the adults have no objection, starting from today, I will preside over the palace every morning. But there is one thing, you probably know my body, and it will not take long for the palace to go into labor."

She said slowly: "This woman in labor can't sleep at night, can't eat well, can't sleep well, and the most important thing is, her temper is easy to irritable. So I won't give you a whole morning Come to discuss, at most an hour, must disperse."

what? What?
an hour?
When the emperor was around, he didn't dare to say that the daily affairs could be resolved within an hour!
What's more, the emperor is critically ill, food and grass are insufficient, the war has not stopped... etc. There are so many things, how can we solve them?
Someone raised an objection, and Chen Wenxin glanced over it with a smile on his face.

"Then I can't control it. There are some things that I have decided that the ministers don't need to discuss. Some things, if you have to disagree with me, don't blame me for ruthlessly inviting you out of Qianqing Palace." .”

All the ministers were in an uproar!

How overbearing this is!

Thinking that when the emperor was around, he wouldn't dare to speak so impolitely!
Chen Wenxin waved his hand impatiently, "When there is an emergency, you should use an extraordinary method. This palace is not the emperor, so how can you do everything? It can only improve the efficiency of crisis matters and minimize mistakes. If there is any mess, wait for the emperor to come back and solve it." !"

She still has half a sentence to say.

If the emperor does not come back, leave it to the new king to solve it.

These ministers have always bullied the weak and feared the strong. At first they bullied Chen Wenxin as a woman, and even forgot to respect her.

Later, seeing that she really dared to kill people, she compromised and dared not make a sound.

Then when she spoke without any fear, she dared not refute even more.

"Okay, now report today's important matters and matters worth discussing. The rest of the unimportant matters will still be decided by Mr. Chen and Mr. Nalan according to the usual practice."

Yo!

Is this directly overriding their political power?
Suo'etu was undoubtedly the most angry. With his status, others still wanted to listen to what he said in the court.

Now Chen Wenxin directly said a sentence according to the usual practice, which made him speechless.

How exasperating!

"Bai Lu, go and fetch my phoenix seal. From now on, no decision will be made without my palace's phoenix seal on major matters in the court!"

Domineering, she is domineering, what's the matter?

Who is not convinced, who should the guards of Bibigan Qing Palace listen to?
Or are those green battalion soldiers in Bibijing vegetarian?

She knew very well in her heart that holding military power is the last word, and everything else is nonsense.

The people of Suo'etu are used to Chen Xihai's reasoning, and they are also used to bullying Chen Xihai's reasoning. When they first met her, who was unreasonable, they were defeated.

If he treats his own body in his own way, he, Suo'etu, will have his day!

What Chen Wenxin thought, how happy he felt.

Sure enough, with her hosting, many things suddenly became easier.

Suo'etu and the others didn't dare to make trouble anymore, and the people in Chen Xihai's party also straightened their backs, and it was immediately clear what was right and wrong.

Finally, all the problems were determined, the decree was drawn up, and the phoenix seal was affixed.

Chen Wenxin took out his pocket watch, and less than an hour had passed.

She was in a good mood, and looked at the courtiers below with approval in her eyes.

"Less than half an hour later, today's major issues have been agreed upon. Take a look, my lords? In fact, you are still very efficient, but you lack someone to supervise you. This palace has no choice but to take the initiative to take this responsibility, lest you Your Excellency will be punished by the emperor."

It seemed that they were not willing to submit to her threat of violence, but rather that they begged her to preside over the government.

After a lot of threats and coercion, Chen Wenxin accepted it as soon as he saw it.

It doesn't matter here that the matter of courtesy first and then soldiers doesn't work here, it doesn't matter, she can have soldiers first and then courtesy.

A slap first, and then a sweet date.

Chen Wenxin said calmly: "I think all of you adults have heard that the medicines sent from France have been rushed to the front line. The emperor's illness will be cured soon, and when the time comes to lead the army back to Beijing, all of you adults can satisfy your curiosity." heart."

The ministers didn't understand for a while, what was she talking about curiosity?
Oh, it's a secret edict——

"My palace promises everyone that if there is news that the emperor's condition has improved within seven days, the secret edict will not be mentioned again. If the emperor still cannot improve after seven days, then this palace will discuss it in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. , personally took out the secret edict and announced it to the world."

Everyone had incredible expressions, especially Suo'etu, whose swollen face hadn't fully recovered, so it was ridiculous to have such an expression.

what happened?

They worked hard and knelt outside Yikun Palace for two days, sleeping in the wind and the sun and rain, just to let Chen Wenxin announce the secret edict.

As a result, they backed down now, and Chen Wenxin took the initiative to announce the secret edict instead?
What is this called!
Some people couldn't help wondering, "Imperial Concubine, only you know this secret edict, is it true or false..."

Chen Wenxin glanced over, and the man shut his mouth instantly.

"Everyone, please rest assured. During the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, all the concubines in the palace and the harem have said it, and all the ministers must have heard about it. The secret edict is hidden in a place where ordinary people can't go, and the palace just knows place, never touched."

"On this point, if the palace wants to announce the secret edict at that time, I will lead all the ministers to go with it. You will know that the secret edict is not only my palace, but no one can touch it."

The upright and bright plaque placed in the middle of the Qianqing Palace is unattainable. Anyone who wants to reach it has to use a ladder to climb the wall, and others will soon find out.

And these ministers came to this court meeting every day, and they would never have imagined that the secret edict was actually in front of them.

You can see it, you can't touch it.

Chen Wenxin couldn't help laughing.

"However, I'm afraid that your lords are not so lucky to know the content of the secret edict from this palace. Jinji Nashuang will definitely heal the emperor."

She believed in her own judgment, and also believed that the emperor would be able to endure it until the medicine was delivered.

Even if these ministers don't believe in the level of foreigners, Chen Wenxin knows that there are many things in the West in this era that are more advanced than the Qing Dynasty.

Not just guns and ammunition, not just Kinney.

Self-righteousness in the name of the kingdom of heaven is narrow-mindedness and ignorance.
