Zhen Guo Princess GL

My mother was wearing ocher-yellow uniforms and was sitting in the hall. There were six seats in front of the seat. She could tell from a glance that she had just discussed something with someone. When she saw me coming in, she raised her hand to indicate that there was no need to salute. Sitting down at the nearest table, my mother took a look at me and said with a slight smile: "When I was a child, whenever I was frightened, my face would turn blue within three to five days. This time I was not frightened, but I was worried for nothing."

I pursed my lips and said, "If you have a wicked heart, you should be terrified. If you are a loyal slave with a heart, why should you be afraid?"

My mother didn't answer, but just picked up a book from the case, looked it over, and looked up at me: "Zheng Yuanyi, a doctor of meritorious service, said that he impeached Wu Yizong, the general of the Zuojianmen, for spying on the palace and making friends with eunuchs. of?"

I was sitting with my head down, and replied: "Yes."

The mother put down the memorial and said calmly: "There is no personal or physical evidence, just a few words?"

I said: "When the king of Hejian played other people, there may not be any witnesses or physical evidence. If there is any doubt, he should order someone to interrogate him carefully. If there is any truth, he must be a holy and bright hole candle, and there is no hidden evil. If there is no evidence." If things are clear, those who are clean will have a better name.”

My mother squinted at me: "I don't know that you and your sister-in-law are so close, but a little servant can provoke you so much."

I raised my head and looked straight at my mother: "It's not that I am close to sister-in-law, but that he is too lenient. Since I come to the inner court and the outer court, there are two different official forms. The words of the ban should not be leaked, Wu Yizong, as a close relative of the clan, and the responsibility of the Hejian door, should be aware of the Sacred Heart and keep his duty, but it is a crime to inquire about the situation of the ban without authorization. "Since I have found out the inside story, I don't want to report it immediately. Instead, I discuss it with outsiders first and reveal the forbidden things. This is the second crime. As the general of the Zuojianmen, he guards the power of life and death, and handles the handle of the axe. Not being able to decide on such trivial matters by yourself is knowing that you are in an unsuitable position and holding unworthy power, this is the third crime—A Niang thinks that a person like him can be reused?"

My mother was silent, and I didn't rush. I just sat quietly. After a while, I heard my mother ask me: "Have you stayed in the East Palace all morning?"

I nodded and said, "I haven't seen Saburo for a long time, go and see him."

Mother said: "What did you do when you saw it?"

I said: "When I went, he was studying, and there were many puzzles, so I will answer them one by one."

Mother chuckled: "Now you can be a teacher."

I also laughed: "It's not that I can be a teacher, but that Saburo's knowledge is really shallow. Today, when I read "Taibo Chapter", I asked me, 'Who is Taibo? If the three are the emperor, then he is the emperor. I don't know." Which dynasty?'. I said, 'It is the deeds of the early Zhou Dynasty. Taibo and Zhongyong gave way to Zhou Wangji. They cut off their tattoos and hair and lived in Wu. Speaking of this person’s deeds, Confucius called him the most virtuous, but he has never even read the "Book of Songs", let alone heard the chapters of "Da Ya", which was so amazing that he pestered me to tell many stories."

Mother lightly frowned: "I never chose a good master for him."

I glanced at her face, and said softly: "Aniang's heart is just because I am afraid that Saburo is young and uncertain. The courtiers are interested in fame and fame, and they are all about confusing the Lord. They don't teach the saint's etiquette and righteousness. However, I think that if you let him sit in the Eastern Palace, and try to figure out the meanings of the scriptures, you will not learn all kinds of things, and you will not understand the etiquette and righteousness, and you will easily breed external evils. On the contrary, I am not confused by the evil spirits—what does A Niang think?"

My mother squinted at me: "You must have someone in mind?"

I pretended not to see the search in my mother's eyes: "Yes." Seeing my mother getting up and walking, I also hurriedly stood up from the table: "Wei Wang Chengsi is the head of the clan. "For several years, he has made friends with many scholars, and his knowledge is known to everyone. It is very suitable for him to teach Saburo, not only to bond with relatives, but also to take and borrow books."

My mother stopped and looked at me. I knew what she was thinking, and walked a few steps closer and said, "Of course there are other candidates. But I have some selfish intentions."

My mother looked at me with raised eyebrows, and I slightly raised my head and smiled: "Son, dare to say something, don't be angry, my mother--my mother's father inherited the Wu family and married to the Li family. The master, in fact, still has two surnames. No matter where the legend is located in the future, the other party will inevitably be slaughtered. The son does not speak for which clan, but one is A Niang's own blood, and the other is A Niang's clan blood relatives. No matter which side suffers, it is definitely not what A Niang wants to see, is it? Sanlang is the eldest son of the Li family, and King Wei is the head of the Wu family. How does Aniang feel about losing Aniang's heart?"

Mother showed a thoughtful look, and turned her head to look at me: "I thought...you don't like your cousins ​​very much."

I laughed: "Amiang, because I don't want to marry them, so you think I don't like them?"

My mother didn't say a word, and I said, "It's not that I don't like it, but... Originally, Aniang only had Erlang, Sanlang, and me, but suddenly there are so many nephews who are under her knees, who love her very much. It is of course a lie to say that I don't care. But after all, they are A Niang's nephews... and I am A Niang's direct daughter. The blood relationship is not only in the father, but also in the mother. What's more, the father can have many wives and concubines and have many children, but the mother has only one husband. There are only a few of us. As far as I am concerned, A Niang's relatives are closer than Aye's close relatives."

This is not the first time I have said something like this, but my mother seemed to be listening to me carefully for the first time. She looked at me quietly for a while, and then said after a while: "Sister, tell A Niang, is this your truth, or is it to coax A Niang?" of?"

I smiled and said, "Don't doubt, Auntie, this is indeed my sincere words. At that time, people respected their fathers, and the clan inheritance was always on the father's side. That's why there are many marriage contracts between cousins, but people with the same surname cannot get married. But carefully Think about it, in terms of blood relationship alone, what is the difference between the relatives of the middle cousin and the relatives of the same clan? They also pass on half of the blood from their parents, and if they are farther away, the half is weaker, that's all. What's the difference in terms of mother? If I lived in a different place and respected my mother, my cousins ​​would be the closest people to me. In the same clan, Erlang and Sanlang were removed, and the others were distant relatives. A Niang is an unprecedented woman. The emperor has subverted the thousands-year-old tradition of men being superior. I have always admired A Niang in my heart. Although A Niang can't change the morals of the world where fathers are respected, I have always regarded A Niang as the backbone of the family. I'm close to my cousins, it's better to say that I'm close to A Niang. Whether it's the Wu family or the Li family, even if it's the Zheng family, what does it matter to me? I'm just A Niang's daughter, and I just want to be A Niang's. daughter."

My mother smiled a little, but sighed again, reached out and patted my face, and said softly: "These words are limited to you and me, from now on... don't say any more."

The author has something to say: Notes:

1. The ancients regarded the same clan as relatives.The father's relatives are "my family" and the mother's relatives are "outsiders". Therefore, people of the same clan are still relatives after three or four generations, but the mother's side is often not close after only one or two generations. Marriage (at the earliest, the same surname could not be married, and occasional exceptions would be discussed, and people who married women with the same surname in the Tang Dynasty were still despised), but the mother's relatives could marry at will, because they were "outsiders".Modern theories such as genes and blood relationship are fallacies when they go back to ancient times.

2. Regarding heart dissection, due to the lack of medical knowledge and the widespread spread of miraculous deeds such as loyal ministers and filial sons, the ancients believed in some rumors such as turning blood into blue, digging out the heart and dissection. He was greatly shaken by cutting his abdomen open to reveal his ambition, so he was exonerated from the crime of treason against Li Dan.But in fact, people who have not received systematic anatomy training should not be able to cut their own hearts (according to the advice of a doctor reader), especially when the medical conditions are immature.In addition, in the Middle Ages, it was not as popular as the "corpse remonstrance" later, so once there are some tragic words and deeds, it is very easy to touch people's hearts.This is especially true for a relatively enlightened king like Zetian who is willing to accept advice.
