[Red Mansions] Guide to "The Empress of the Wise"

At a birthday banquet, Wang Shuo went back with bruised arms and sides. Fortunately, since she practiced martial arts, she always had ointment by her side, so she wouldn't be in a hurry.

Princess Fuhui was even more tired. She was already depressed, and after being frightened, her head throbbed.However, Wang Shouzhong was still mumbling beside him, trying his best to express his worries and condolences.

"Shut up." Princess Fuhui said impatiently.

Wang Shouzhong's face was embarrassed, and his eyes indicated that the children were there. They had just returned from the birthday banquet at Yongwang's Mansion together.

"Father, don't be angry. Mother is tired. She didn't do it on purpose. Your lord has a lot, so please forgive me." Seeing the tense atmosphere, Wang Shuo hurriedly made a rescue.She supports any decision made by her mother. Since Princess Fuhui has no intention of reconciling, she should help the couple resolve their conflicts and try to be harmonious.Wang Shuo saw that when Princess Fuhui saw her, there was a flash of regret in her eyes, otherwise she couldn't care less.

Hearing Wang Shuo's voice, Wang Shouzhong said with a sincere smile, "We're all a family, so you're tired of what you're doing, so let's rest first."

Wang Shuo looked at Wang Shouzhong, who suddenly became happy, and wondered why she had to smile so sincerely when she said polite words?

Wang Shouzhong took a step first, and Princess Fuhui said: "You young couple, go back first, the two good grandsons must be exhausted, Brother Teng, your yard is on the same road as Shuo girl, send her back."

Everyone listened to Princess Fuhui's arrangement and bowed to leave.Wang Shuo originally wanted to ask about Wang Shouzhong's strange attitude, but thinking that the future would be long, he took advantage of the situation and resigned.

When Wang Shuo returned to the room, Suzaku had already prepared ointment for her. After a while of massaging and kneading, Wang Shuo bit the veil in his mouth to pieces before applying the ointment.

Such a thing happened in the birthday banquet of King Yong's Mansion, how can it go on, even the follow-up gifts are not accepted, and the door has been closed to thank the guests, waiting for the investigation results of the Imperial Army and the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Later, it was found out that it was the remnants of Yongxianghou's mansion. The assassin was seeking revenge, and secondly, if he failed, he would also drag Yongwang's mansion into trouble.

Hearing that His Majesty the Emperor was furious, originally the Yongxiang Marquis Mansion only punished the culprits, seized the nobles and ransacked the house, but now His Majesty is merciless, all the remaining men are imprisoned, ready to be exiled to the southwest, and all the women are sent to the teaching workshop.It seems that there will be more puddles of blood in front of Jiaofang.

Things did not go as expected by Wang Shuo, Xuanwu later reported the details, saying: "Yongxianghou's family has strict family education, and the women's family members who were defeated once were in poor health. How can they withstand those officers and soldiers who are like wolves? When they were in front of the Jiaofang gate, most of them bumped into the stone lions in front of the gate, saying that they would not enter the Jiaofang gate even if they died, and the stone lions in front of the Jiaofang gate were all dyed red." The strict ones are only the rules of chastity, but men framed Zhongliang in the previous dynasty and formed cliques for personal gain. Xuanwu didn't know if it was ironic when he said this.

"So tragic? Alas, the men fought in the previous court, and the female family members were innocent." Wang Shuo sighed. Of course, this was based on the fact that the female family members of the Yongxiang Hou Mansion were very law-abiding and did not know what was going on outside.If it is someone who commits crimes, Wang Shuo will not sympathize.

"The master is too soft-hearted, they enjoy the wealth of the Hou Mansion, and they have to suffer the defeat of the Hou Mansion." Suzaku said.

"Forget it, prepare the scriptures of the past life for me, and I will copy them at night." Wang Shuo ordered.

"You, you are so kind." Xuan Wu also sighed.

Wang Shuo sneered, is this considered kind?I don't kill Boren Boren died because of me, the murderer copied the scriptures, just for his own peace of mind.When Wang Shuo copied the scriptures, he sincerely wished that the female family members of Yongxiang Hou Mansion would have a good pregnancy. They don’t need to be rich and powerful. At least everyone can be responsible for their own actions. They only need to be responsible for their own actions. and implicated.

"Yongxiang Hou Mansion is a chaste family." Suzaku sighed.

"There are also those who are not so chaste, the eldest daughter of the first wife, who is only ten years old, fainted by relatives who committed suicide one after another, and has already been carried into the teaching workshop. There are many methods in the teaching workshop. As long as you enter that door, Where is Zhenlie's capital?" Xuanwu sighed.

Wang Shuo didn't care about the treatment of Yongxiang Hou Mansion, as long as the sinner deserved what he deserved.

Wang Shuo went to Yongwang's mansion to visit his grandparents after Yongxianghou's mansion pleaded guilty.

When Wang Shuo arrived at Prince Yong's mansion, Concubine Yong was still sick in bed. She was very old and couldn't stand the constant fright.It wasn't because they were frightened by the assassins, but because they were frightened by the terrible situation in Yongwang's mansion that they imagined, so their family survived the difficulties and don't go into the sky prison again.

Wang Shuo greeted her relatives by the bed, and accompanied her for a long time before she came out. The aunts, cousins, and cousins ​​who were sick by the bed rushed to see her out. Wang Shuo smiled and said, "It's just right, let's go say hello to my grandfather together."

Only in this way can we get rid of a group of people.

Prince Yong suffered misfortunes one after another, suffered painstaking efforts, and painstakingly planned. His hair, which was originally gray, is now almost completely white.Wang Shuo felt uncomfortable when he saw it, so he supported Prince Yong and said, "Grandfather has white hair and a youthful face, and looks like a long-lived and rich man."

"The white hair is real, Tong Yan..." Prince Yong touched his face and said, "Old orange peel~"

"People say that it takes ten years to laugh, but you are always smiling like you are now, and it will not be a problem to live another 30 years." Wang Shuo exaggeratedly laughed.

"30 years? I don't know if it's been three years. There's no way you can laugh about all the things in your stomach." Prince Yong sighed and motioned for a walk to the garden. Wang Shuo waved his hand to signal the following servants to stay away, and supported Prince Yong himself. , walking slowly on the path in the garden.

"What's your grandfather worried about? Tell me, and see if Shuo'er can share your worries?" Wang Shuo asked.

"It's not because of the title," Prince Yong sighed, "I've bothered you a lot these days."

"That's not true." Wang Shuo said with a smile: "I have received countless gifts, and even received unprecedented preferential treatment. I didn't know that Shuo'er was so cute."

"Hahaha~ They are right. I want to ask you about the title. Look." Prince Yong asked.

"Grandfather, before talking about the title, you should take this back first." Wang Shuo took out a token from his pocket, which was the token given to him by Prince Yong to mobilize the power of Prince Yong's mansion in the army.

"Shuo girl, you know what this is, so you're not tempted?"

"Be tempted, be tempted, so grandfather, you should take it back quickly, and put it here with me, I can't help but keep it for myself." Wang Shuo directly stuffed the token into the hands of Prince Yong.

Lord Yong rubbed the pattern on the token and said, "Okay, I'll keep it first. Tell me about the title."

"What does grandpa think?" Wang Shuo asked.

"I asked you, or you asked me, you cunning." Prince Yong scolded with a smile.

"It's really cunning, you should say 'this is a matter of the grandfather's family, the granddaughter dare not speak out', am I not trying to probe your mind, so as not to make you angry by saying the wrong thing?" Wang Shuo said rascally.

"Okay, let's talk, and you won't be angry if you say something wrong." What's more, there is no right or wrong in this matter, only positions and choices.

"The assassination of His Majesty by the Yongxiang Hou Mansion was indeed due to the ineffective guards of the Yongwang Mansion. His Majesty was magnanimous and did not pursue it. I wonder if the Yongwang Mansion should reciprocate." Wang Shuo suggested.

"How to reciprocate?"

"I heard that when the Tai/Zu decided to set the world, he intended to confer great meritorious officials and not to lower him to be a noble. It was His Majesty who wrote a letter to dissuade him, saying: "The sun is long and the moon is long, the descendants are endless, the title will not be reduced, and the state will have no more, so the title is set. Inherit the standards of assessment and downgrading to avoid the hidden danger that the royal blood and meritorious descendants will drag down the imperial treasury in the future." Wang Shuo said sideways.

"so?"

"So, the title of the prince is already the highest. Looking at the court, so far, even the county kings are only Zhongshan King and Nan'an County King. The other clans have no princes. Dongping, Xining, and Beijing with different surnames Now the old princes of the three families have all gone, and only the dukes of the state are the only ones who will succeed, and the title of the county king is also very honorable." Wang Shuo persuaded, fearing that the prince Yong would not look down on the title of the county king.

"Yeah, the princes haven't been crowned king yet, the eldest prince has grandsons, and he is still a bald prince." Prince Yong sighed, the princes who have not been crowned king are regarded as princes, but they are only "identified".

"Your Majesty said that the title of Prince Yong's Mansion will not be degraded. If the second or third uncle inherits the title, he will naturally still be the prince; but Shuo'er remembers that the eldest uncle was posthumously named the King of Zhongyong County, so this title should not be degraded." After laying the groundwork for a long time, Wang Shuo finally threw out the stalk. She was interested in her cousin Tu Jin Xijue.

"Really? Let me think about it~" Prince Yong was supported by Wang Shuo on his right arm, rubbing the token with his left hand, and walked slowly on the path in the garden, all the way in silence.

Wang Shuo also followed quietly, not saying a word, this matter still needs to be figured out by Prince Yong himself.

After walking through the garden and taking a seat in the outer study, Prince Yong sighed and said, "You are right, spread paper for me, and I will write notes for His Majesty."

Wang Shuo laid out paper and rubbed ink, and said softly, "Since my grandfather has made up his mind, then Shuo'er will tell you the other reasons why he said so."

"Let's talk." Prince Yong leaned back in the chair, a little tired.

"No share between concubine and concubine is the root of a chaotic family. If you are not close to each other, everyone is self-interested." Wang Shuo held his sleeve with his left hand, and slowly held the grinding bar with his right hand, grinding it round and round, meditating on his mouth, and said: "That's the truth, and Shuo'er shouldn't have said this, but seeing that her grandfather was confused by the authorities, Shuo'er dared to speak out her own thoughts."

"When I was young, I always felt that the closest people were my parents, and I should never be separated from my parents for the rest of my life; only when I grew up and got married did I realize that husband and wife are the closest relatives in the world; when I have children, seeing the continuation of the blood, I just feel that for the sake of the children, sacrifice I am willing. People, if you have a small family, you will not be able to take care of everyone. Like in your grandfather’s house, the title belongs to the big family. If it falls to the second and third families, how can you not complain. The second uncle, The third uncle refuses to accept it, and he wants a son; if the third uncle wins, the second uncle wants to make trouble, and the elders and children are orderly. What's more, if the eldest uncle died for the country, his wife and children will suffer this loss. If things go on like this, who would dare to fight loyal to the country?"

"You hate bastards." Prince Yong said.

Wang Shuo paused, this is the key point, is this what is being discussed now?

"Yeah, I hate concubines, I hate concubines, I even hate people who take concubines and have children." Wang Shuo laughed and cursed, put down the grinder, went to get a cushion, and placed it behind Prince Yong.

"Do you scold me, or scold your father!" Prince Yong asked while adjusting his posture.

"Call the men in the world." Wang Shuo replied with a smile.

"Sure enough, the momentum is not small, Master Kong is right." Yong Wang said.

"Master Kong? Are you talking about Aunt Kong? Aunt Kong who is the descendant of the sage Kong?" Wang Shuo asked in surprise. Does Aunt Kong have such a great reputation?Even Prince Yong mentioned her.

"Whether it's her or someone else, it's so easy for you to be your mother and invite Master Kong to be your master." Prince Yong talked and laughed while picking up the brush, and when the black pen fell on the white paper, he couldn't help becoming serious, Wang Shuo He held his sleeves back in a solemn manner, and stood quietly aside.
