Madame is as charming as a flower

Chapter 752 Relying on favor and pride.

Fu Yuejun didn't feel that Concubine Zhen's death was wronged at all. Back then, Concubine Zhen relied on the authority of the emperor to buy and sell official positions, serve pets and exercise power...

Empress Dowager Cixi also considered the late emperor's face, turned a blind eye to Concubine Zhen, and downplayed the incident of selling officials, but Concubine Zhen later did whatever she wanted, and was proud of her favor.

It even ironically satirized the Empress Dowager Cixi forbidding the empress and concubines of the Qing Dynasty to interfere in the government, but allowed them to listen to politics behind the curtain.

Concubine Zhen's death was her own doing.

Just selling an official can put her to death.

But she didn't.

It just reduced Concubine Zhen to a noble person.

It's all about the mother-child relationship between her and the late emperor.

"Zhenzhu'er is not wrong at all. It's that old witch Cixi who wants to control the late emperor. Zhenzhu'er just doesn't want the late emperor to become a puppet..." Xiao Xizi said, her eyes were full of resentment.

In her opinion, everything Concubine Zhen did was for the sake of the late emperor, and she didn't want to see the late emperor governing in person, and the power of the government was still in the hands of the old queen mother, so what was the difference between this and a puppet?
"The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty said that taxes will never be raised, and those who lose their land will not be allowed to enter the ancestors' spiritual positions. Which emperor obeyed these two family laws?" Fu Yuejun's voice was as cold as a knife: "So, you are going to come and meet me now. Are you talking about the second ancestral family law that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?"

Back then, Lord Kangxi, who claimed to be a wise king through the ages, signed the Treaty of Nerchinsk and lost the land north of the Outer Xing'an Mountains. Lord Yongzheng signed the Treaty of Kyakhta, and Russia invaded and occupied the south of Lake Baikal.

During the Qianlong Dynasty, Kuye Island was secretly annexed by the Russian Emperor.

Later, starting from Emperor Jiaqing, the first two ancestral precepts were completely forgotten. In order to suppress the White Lotus Rebellion, Jiaqing continued to increase taxes.

The subsequent emperors were even more outrageous.

The Qing Dynasty was getting weaker and weaker day by day. Not only did they lose their cities and territories, but they also sought reparations, and even the portraits of their ancestors, as well as the Old Summer Palace built by several generations of emperors with huge manpower and material resources, were all burned by the coalition forces.

During the reign of Lord Kangxi, he was able to conquest Zhungeer himself and made great efforts to govern, and Lord Yongzheng was also able to sympathize with the people's sentiments and rectify corruption.

But what about the next few?

The emperor who bowed his knees to sign a contract, lost power and humiliated the country, ignored the words of his ancestors, and lost an inch of land, was still buried in the imperial mausoleum and entered the spiritual throne of his ancestors.

As for the ancestral precept that the harem should not be involved in politics, Lafayette Cixi listened to politics behind a curtain and imprisoned Guangxu, which obviously broke this ancestral system, but the old empress also generously admitted this point.

After her death, although she did not directly admit her mistakes, she reiterated that the ancestral precept that women should not be involved in politics after her death can be regarded as a review of her life.

Throughout the thousands of years of feudal monarchy, what Fu Yuejun admired most was the Ming Dynasty.

No marriage, no compensation, no cede land, no tribute.

No matter how difficult the court is, no matter how powerful the foreign enemies are, they will never use women and relatives in exchange for that short-lived and fragile peace. Attacked the capital, the emperor was captured, and never surrendered.

I swear to the death that the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies the integrity of the country.

Seeing what Fu Yuejun said, Xiao Xizi gritted her teeth and asked in a hissed voice: "Since you said that it is understandable for the harem to intervene in politics, why is it not allowed when you come to Zhenzhu'er?"

Fu Yuejun lowered his head slowly, his eyes were cold and his words were dark: "She is wrong, she is arrogant because she is favored, she doesn't set her position correctly, she repeatedly commits taboos, and she commits disobedience!"
