Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 383 This edict has three legislatures

Half an hour ago.

The ministers who were waiting for Chen Wenxin to come in Qianqing Palace and take them to open the secret edict were idle gossiping about where the secret edict would be hidden.

Some people say that if it is close, it is probably the palace of the Empress Dowager.

After the empress dowager passed away, the emperor ordered people to seal the Ci Ning Palace in order to commemorate the death, so that no one would be disturbed.

What's more, the empress dowager is of great significance to the emperor, and it is most likely to place a secret edict there.

It sounds like that.

Someone asked, what about the distance?
If it is far away, there will be too many. How many secluded palaces are there in the palace, and there is no place to hide an imperial edict?
No matter how far away, the imperial mausoleum is also possible.

The listener shuddered.

With the body of the imperial concubine, I am afraid that she will be ready to deliver the baby before she reaches the imperial mausoleum.

Everyone guessed the place where the imperial edict could be hidden.

The emotions were so high that they almost opened a gambling table to pay for the outcome.

Luckily they didn't actually open a gaming table——

Even if these grown-ups were killed, they would not be able to figure it out. The secret edict that they had been thinking about was right on top of their half-bald heads.

That fair and square plaque.

The little eunuchs set up the ladder, and Li Dequan climbed it himself, groping behind the plaque for a while.

Suo'etu suddenly said: "Imperial Concubine, Erbeile is still outside the hall, isn't it..."

According to what he meant, the emperor said that Erbeile was not allowed to enter the palace without an edict, so what?

Now the emperor's words are useless.

He asked Erbeile to enter the hall directly, but Erbeile refused, insisting that Chen Wenxin agree.

Suo'etu had no choice but to be patient, and then asked her for instructions.

Chen Wenxin didn't make things difficult for him, but just nodded lightly, "Come in with Erbeile."

A tall and handsome young man walked in from outside the hall, dressed in a light autumn fragrance, walking steadily and slowly.

All the ministers stared at Li Dequan, few of them looked back at him.

However, Chen Wenxin's gaze kept on him, seeing him take off the bright yellow prince's uniform, his whole aura seemed to have matured a lot.

What made her feel a little relieved was that he didn't dress up as if he was going to a grand event like his eldest brother.

Thinking of big brother, she couldn't help but have a headache.

Erbei Le went to the hall, paid respects, kowtowed and said: "I wish the emperor's mother peace."

She reached out and lifted her up, Bai Lu understood, and went down to help Erbeile herself.

The palace is no longer his home, even if Suo'etu wholeheartedly supports him, what he values ​​is only blood, not himself.

She still hopes to give him more warmth within her ability.

Just like...

She was extremely disappointed with Elder Brother, and still grounded him in the library.

That was not only grounding, but also the best protection for him in the ensuing turmoil.

Concubine Rong's mother clan will definitely not support Elder Brother anymore, Nalan Mingzhu alone is absolutely no match for Suo'etu.

If she doesn't get big elder brother out of everyone's sight, she will only make him, who is impulsive now, a target of public criticism.

Erbeile got up slowly, and at the same time, Li Dequan also took out the secret edict from behind the plaque.

It was a bright yellow scroll, no different from the imperial decree.

Everyone watched helplessly, Li Dequan respectfully held the scroll in both hands, and sent it to Chen Wenxin.

She took a deep breath.

The hearts of the ministers also lifted and lowered following her inhalation.

She finally opened the scroll slowly, and read it carefully from right to left, her hands trembling.

It turns out that the emperor...

The ministers below held their breath, and when they were waiting impatiently, they saw Chen Wenxin raised the secret edict in his hand.

"Eunuch Li, read the imperial decree."

Li Dequan took the imperial edict, glanced at it hastily, with a look of surprise on his face.

Although he personally put this secret edict behind the upright plaque, it was the first time he had seen the content inside.

He couldn't help being startled, and then sang loudly: "All the ministers accept the order—"

Concubines, princes, and ministers all knelt on the ground and received the order solemnly.

Only Chen Wenxin sat high on the golden throne, unable to see his expression clearly.

"I, Yujia personally conquered Zhungeer. In order to prevent accidents, I left a secret edict to entrust the imperial concubine. If I unfortunately die in Shacheng, I will use the secret edict as evidence to support the establishment of a new monarch."

This is consistent with what the emperor said in front of all civil and military officials before the imperial conquest.

Everyone continued to listen, and Li Dequan's voice was solemn and intimidating.

"There are three things in this edict. First, the royal concubine Chen is designated as the empress, the mother of the world, and the support and protection of the weak new king."

what? !

Concubine Hui changed her face first, and looked up at Li Dequan in a daze, suspecting that she had heard it wrong.

Li De looked solemn all over, raised his eyelids, and glanced down.

He has been by the emperor's side for more than 20 years, and he has announced countless imperial decrees, how could he go wrong?

Concubine Hui collapsed on the ground.

The empress position of the emperor has been vacant for more than ten years, and Concubine Tong Gui, who has always been considered the most promising to become empress, has not been able to get that position even after all her life.

Unexpectedly, the emperor promised Chen Wenxin in this way.

The queen, the queen of the name.

As soon as the news of the emperor's death came back, she would be the rightful empress dowager.

What else can I say, to help protect the weak and new king...

She suddenly realized something and shivered all over.

Weak years, big brother's age, are no longer considered weak.

Except for Concubine Hui, almost all the other concubines were delighted by this.

Concubine De, Zhang Guiren and others have always been attached to Chen Wenxin, if she becomes the empress dowager, they will naturally be safe.

It was Ding Guiren and others, thinking that Chen Wenxin was always kind and would not frame the concubine, so it was the best choice for her to be the Empress Dowager.

Concubine Rong even sneered, staring happily at Concubine Hui.

Not to mention that eldest elder brother might not be able to get that position, even if he could, Concubine Hui would have to be subservient to the empress dowager when concubine Hui was named empress dowager.

The ministers were discussing even more, Nalan Rongruo glanced at Chen Xihai, seeing his calm expression, he secretly regretted it.

He suddenly remembered what Chen Xihai had told him about not fighting for power.

If I had known that Chen Wenxin had been conferred the title of Queen of the Palace, and Chen Xihai was firmly in the position of head of state, the Chen family would only be more prosperous in the future than it is now.

Why should he use those thoughts to support a Dou who can't afford it...

For Chen Xihai's party, this is great news and it shakes people's spirits.

With the empress dowager in the main palace, who the emperor is doesn't seem to matter much.

Just like the empress dowager Xiaozhuang back then, no matter whether the emperor was the young Shunzhi Lord or the young Kangxi Lord.

The power is always in her hands, and those old officials are only willing to give her some face.

Only Suo'etu frowned, as if wishing to wring the flesh between his eyebrows.

Compared with the entanglement between the concubines and the ministers, the brothers who stood together looked happy.

Including - two Baylor.

Suo'etu once told him that after he becomes the emperor, he only needs to treat the imperial concubine as an ordinary concubine.

She took up the word "emperor", after all, she is not the queen of the palace, so what if she is not named empress dowager?

Erbaile just smiled at that time and didn't respond.

Seeing his reaction now, Suo'etu understood why he smiled and said nothing at that time.

Because in Erbeile's heart, he wished to give Chen Wenxin such an honor!
Li Dequan's voice sounded again, "Secondly, make the fourth elder brother Yinzhen the crown prince, who will take over the throne after my death, and Chen Xihai, Prince Yu, and Prince Gong will be assistant ministers."

It turned out to be the fourth elder brother!

The eyes of the courtiers hardly noticed that this was the one with the smallest teeth among the four elder brothers.

His biological mother, Concubine De, came from a humble background. If Chen Wenxin hadn't asked her to assist the harem, she would still be the most humble among concubines.

He is still young, not as good as Big Brother and Erbeile, he already looks like an adult.

But when all the officials turned their eyes to him, they realized that the young man standing in front and holding the fifth elder brother by one hand had already grown so tall.

He had heard the news about Li Chu, but he didn't react much, as if he wasn't what was mentioned in the secret edict.

So calm and collected.

Especially the little fifth elder brother standing beside him, which highlights his maturity even more.

The majesty and demeanor of being born in Aixinjueluo's family is not far behind that of Erbeile, who was born to the first queen.

Erbeile smiled bitterly.

This is the answer he expected.

This is the fourth elder brother.

It was in the emperor's mind, the candidate for the crown prince.

All of a sudden, the court fell into silence, and then, an uproar broke out.

They suppressed the elder brother, the elder brother who suppressed the second beile, even the little fifth elder brother and the one in Chen Wen's confidant, all had ministers who supported them.

Only this fourth elder brother who came from a humble background was someone that no one could have imagined and would not support.

By him to sit on the throne?

How about that!
Chen Wenxin frowned, looking at the ministers below who were arguing a lot, with a bad expression on his face.

"My lords, the emperor has not passed away yet, so you are not even willing to listen to the imperial edict?"

Her words were cold and harsh, and it was only then that everyone remembered that although the emperor was not here——

But Chen Wenxin is already a queen.

The voice of discussion below gradually subsided, and Li Dequan continued to read the will loudly.

"Thirdly, the rest of the elder brothers, the emperor, will be canonized after the fourth elder brother ascends the throne. Only Yinchen, my most beloved son, will be proclaimed Prince Chen."

Yinchen?

Everyone thought they heard it wrong, there are indeed many elder brothers, but how can there be one named Yinchen?
Is the emperor confused and wrote someone's name wrong, or the emperor is outside...

When everyone was puzzled, they turned their eyes to Chen Wenxin, who was at the top, and saw that she gently helped her abdomen out of habit.

Ever since, everyone suddenly realized.

Among the princes of the emperor, isn't this one Chen Wen's confidant, who hasn't been named yet?
If you want to say who Yin Chen is in the secret edict, it can only be this one.

Before he was born, he was named a prince.

You are the first son, and his mother is the current empress, and will soon become the empress dowager.

This is probably the most honorable child in the history of the Qing Dynasty!
Even the fourth son of the late emperor Concubine Dong E, who was personally called "My First Son" by the late emperor, is not as noble as him!
If it wasn't still in the stomach, who would the emperor appoint as the reserve? It's really hard to say!

"Kin this!"

Li Dequan's voice was drawn out, he closed the edict and raised his head.

There was an extremely ear-piercing cold snort from below.

"What secret edict is this? It must be fake!"
