Daiyu

I will cross the same boat with you, and when I reach the shore, I will go back to myself.

In the 22nd year of Taihe, Emperor Yunzheng personally conquered Beijin.

Daiyu was worried that Yong Chen would go to the battlefield in person, but she didn't speak out to dissuade her - and she knew that she couldn't dissuade her.She never thought that she would be a queen one day, and she never thought that she would be in charge of the government one day.

The Supreme Emperor is old, a hundred years old and young, although important matters in the court still need to be transferred to the army to present to the emperor, but urgent matters have to be resolved by her, the empress.The emperor's exclusive love for her for more than ten years is her confidence, and it is also her confidence that the emperor's only son was born by her.With these two items, the ministers of the court and the central government respected Daiyu.

There is also the old Shangshu Dong Shen who is used to flattering. Seeing that the empress is in charge now, he knows that she is not good at intervening in the serious government affairs, so he started looking for people to compile "Biography of Martyrs". chaste women.These women shocked the popular customs with their "extremely strange and unbelievable" behavior.

When Daiyu was flipping through the biography of a heroic woman, Xiangyun happened to be by her side.Daiyu sneered, and said: "These pedantic and disgusting old officials chose a good woman. Listen to me and read it to you."

One, Ling's husband died at the age of 25, and her elder brother persuaded her to remarry. She bit her lip and vomited blood all over the place, but she refused to remarry;

In the second case, Mrs. Ni splashed boiling water on her face, her left eye popped out, and she smeared the wound with bituminous coal. Her face was ferocious. The matchmaker was shocked when she saw it, thinking she saw a living ghost, and never dared to come to propose marriage again.

Three things, You Shi was born beautiful, and some evil young men came to propose marriage, You Shi justly reprimanded: You lustful people, isn't it because of my beauty?I tell you, beauty doesn't last.Grab a handful of lime and smear it on your beautiful eyes.

"Gouging eyes and cutting nose is one kind; there is another kind," Daiyu said with a sneer, "A good woman isolates herself from the world, which is also a sign of integrity in the eyes of officials. Look at this, the widow Wang's lonely lamp She guarded a tall building and did not look out of the window for more than 40 years; Ma Shi did not go downstairs for 45 years; what is even more inexplicable is Chen Jiefu, who did not go downstairs for 30 years. , Let the man go upstairs, Chen Jiefu, who has been dead for a long time, actually came back from the underworld, sat up straight and accused her family of breaking the etiquette!"

Xiangyun was silent, thinking to himself that he had heard the stories told by his elders since he was a child. In other words, these stories are all praises. It seems that women should keep chastity, and if they can't keep it, it's the woman's fault. "

Daiyu recalled the time when she was single and cried because Yongchen called her name and wanted to send her off. Knowing that she had believed these lies, she sneered and said, "That's what makes them so powerful. There are many names in it. The four methods of martyrdom, chastity, and martyrdom were the most praised by people at that time. Widows who kept the festival, mostly for more than 30 years, were called chaste women; Those who keep chastity without being married, those who are unmarried all their lives, or serve their parents-in-law are called virgins; those who are unmarried but sacrifice their fiancés to death are called martyrs. It is comparable to the subject of men's examination of Mingjing."

Xiangyun said: "I heard from my aunt that one year there was a flood in Xing'an and the houses were submerged. One family saved themselves by rafting, and the neighbors all followed. There were two girls, sixteen or seventeen years old, holding a piece of rotten wood, sinking and sinking from time to time. The neighbor rowed the raft to save the two women. The second woman caught a glimpse of a naked man on the raft and sighed, "Our sisters leaned against a tree and thought they would be lucky to survive. I didn't expect this to happen. What are you doing alive?" ’ So we jumped into the waves hand in hand, and when we said it, the wives and old ladies in our family were all present, and we all clapped our hands in praise.”

Daiyu sneered and said, "That's right. They were usually tortured in the past. Now that they can torture others, how can they be willing to let go? Naturally, they will help the tyrant." She added: "How can you and I be such people? "So he issued a decree, banned "Biography of Martyr Women", and ordered Dong Shen, the Shangshu, to give priority to government affairs and not to interfere in women's affairs for no reason.In addition, there are places where women beat drums in the county government. If a woman has a grievance, if the drum is played, the county government has to accept it, and it must be recorded in the book and submitted to Weiyang Palace for review.How many people have benefited from this move?For the next hundred years, all folk women were grateful for Daiyu's decree.

In the 26th year of Taihe, a member of the Yong'an army suffered from malaria, and the news of his death was sent back to Beijing.

Daiyu had seen Yongchen's illness on the green paper, her panic and worry had settled down, but when she received the secret letter, she was calm and organized her affairs in an orderly manner.It is also said that the prince came here at the age of a hundred and told the truth, asking him to be prepared to take the world as his own responsibility.

Bai Sui nodded silently.

Fortunately, the emperor managed to turn the bad luck into good luck, and he was unharmed in the end, and even returned in triumph.

Thirty years in Taihe, the eve of Yongchen's return.

Daiyu called Bai Sui to Weiyang Palace to talk, "Your father will return to Beijing tomorrow. We haven't seen each other for eight years. Will you be very excited when you see father again? Will you be extremely happy to see father come back safe and sound?" Seeing Baisui nodded dumbly, he said again: "I know you are a filial child. When your father was suffering from malaria, what the queen mother said to you was just an expedient measure. Since your father came back unharmed, you Just forget about those words—forget it completely, completely."

Bai Sui nodded silently again.

From then on, Daiyu knew that her son had great wisdom, so she no longer worried about it.

Time is like water flowing in a river. Daiyu feels that she is getting old, not from the fine lines around her eyes seen in the bronze mirror, but from realizing that she has gradually fallen in love with opera, and the long and lingering singing voice seems to be about to fall. sunset.

On this day, she listened to "Suolin Bag", and the song said: He taught me to put away remaining hatred, avoid coquettish anger, and renew, change love, stop falling in love with passing water, turn back from the sea of ​​bitterness, and realize Lanyin early.

Daiyu murmured, "I realized Lanyin early."

Qia Yongan retreated to find it, and laughed when he heard it, "It's a coincidence, I have seen this play before. It was told to me by the late emperor when he was here."

The so-called Lan Yin Xu Guo refers to the fact that the former concubine of Zheng Wengong, Yan Yan, dreamed that the heavenly girl gave her a quiet orchid, and soon she married Zheng Wengong.This Yan Yan gave birth to Mu Gong, who was named Lan.Zheng Wengong married many times and killed two of his own sons.Gong Zilan fled to the state of Jin, and did not return to the state of Zheng to inherit the throne until the death of Duke Wen of Zheng. It was Duke Mu.Duke Mu planted an orchid to commemorate his mother. When he was sick, he said, "If the orchid dies, I will probably die too. I was born because of it." Then he cut off the orchid and passed away.

Daiyu fell ill at night.The imperial doctor said that she was ill, but Daiyu only thought that she had realized it.So just go home, go back to Gusu Linfu.But what if he really returned to the Lin Mansion?There are no parents in the world anymore, and the young brother died early, but she just couldn't let it go in her heart, but she couldn't find it after all.

After staying in the Unnamed Garden until the seventh day, Daiyu knew her time was approaching, so she encouraged her to stand up, dressed as usual, put on new clothes, and lay down in Yongchen's arms.

Seeing that Yongchen was holding back tears, Daiyu smiled instead, "Once upon a time, Mrs. Li, a beautiful woman in the north, visited the city and was seriously ill when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came. The face in my heart. How is the concubine compared to Mrs. Li?" Seeing Yongchen's lips moving but unable to speak, she smiled sweetly, stroked his cheek, and said softly: "We are on the same boat with the king, and we will return to each other when we reach the shore. The concubine is just Arrived first. Yong Chen, don't blame me..." The voice faded away, the smile was still there, and he had no breath at all, and passed away forever.
