Concubine She's father, Narbu, faces jail time for being impeached for embezzling disaster relief. In order to take care of the overall situation, the empress dowager secretly executed Narbu, but concubines held a grudge against her and actually gave the empress dowager a cruel hand.
Regarding Narbu's embezzlement of disaster relief grain, how the emperor (Nie Yuan) handled it was also very difficult, after all, Narbu had made great contributions to the management of the river, and natural disasters and man-made disasters and famine were things that people could not resist. In addition, Narbu is also the concubine Amma, her only relative, and she can't bear it. On the one hand, the people jointly impeached Narbu, and on the other hand, the concubine of the lord of the harem pleaded bitterly, and at this moment of embarrassment, the empress dowager gave him a wake-up call.
The empress dowager told the emperor that although Narbu was innocent, because of his incompetence, such a big mess had disturbed the people's hearts, and it was not enough for the people to be indignant. As for the exploitation of disaster relief grain by officials at all levels, of course, it needs to be dealt with, but it should not be rushed, after all, there are many officials involved. The emperor listened, but decided to think about it.
In the end, after many deliberations, the emperor decided to exile Narbu, which was to save his life. But when Hirohito goes to tell the news to Narbu in prison, he finds that Narbu has committed suicide by taking poison. This sudden change made Concubine Xian completely break her heart. The emperor had obviously promised not to kill Narbu, and concubine Xian naturally guessed that it was the empress dowager who did it, so she held a grudge and waited for the opportunity to attack the empress.
The opportunity finally came. Yuan Chunwang obtained a letter from Qianlong's grandmother left to Qianlong from a eunuch, and because it was a relic of Princess Yu, Concubine Xian asked Hongzhi to hand it over to the emperor. Because the content of the letter says: The fourth brother's biological mother, Ben Jiaxing Qianshi, Niu Hulu clan killed his mother and snatched his son, and Wan Wang'a brother was careful. This made the emperor very angry, and personally went to the empress dowager and asked about the origin of the matter.
When the empress dowager heard Qianlong ask about this matter, she was horrified, and she never expected that after many years, this matter would be brought up again. The empress dowager told the emperor that his birth mother was indeed the Qian clan of Jiaxing, but because she was a Hanmin and of humble status, Qianlong was raised by her as soon as she was born. Qian also died of illness two or three years later.
Concubine Xian naturally did not believe it, and also fanned the wind to help the emperor find the truth, which made the empress dowager excited for a while, fainted, and unconscious. And this is exactly what Concubine Xian wants to see, she wants to create a gap between the emperor and the empress dowager, in order to stimulate the empress, if the content of the letter is true, then the empress dowager is naturally gone. She also solved the hatred in her heart.
Concubine Xian also asked Zhang Yuan to prescribe an ineffective prescription to the empress dowager, hoping to see the empress dowager's condition slowly deteriorate. In order to further stimulate the empress, she took the opportunity to give the empress dowager an invitation and told the empress dowager her true purpose. It turned out that she had always thought that the empress dowager had killed her Amarnalbu in order to avenge the empress's nephew's relatives, because they were the ones who had embezzled the relief grain. She also told the Empress that she was going to make the Emperor completely alienate her and dislike her until he never wanted to see her again.
Seeing this, I really pinched a handful of sweat for the empress. They have all reached this age, and they still have to offend concubines for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. However, the empress dowager was able to sit in this position, and she also came through hundreds of battles, and she finally easily lifted the crisis of trust with the emperor and made concubines lose. As for the wonderful process, I will present it to you one by one later.
