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

"Are you threatening me?" The queen was very annoyed.

"How could it be?" Wang Shuo said with a gentle and familiar face, "Your Majesty, you are the mother of the world and an elderly person, how could I threaten you? Why do women make things difficult for women? Master is my master first." My God, this is what the first lesson taught me. You accompany His Majesty through troubled times and enjoy peace. It can be said that you have shared weal and woe, but what did you get in return? Two children died in the war, and the only remaining princess died. You died in childbirth, your direct elder brother has long since passed away, and the only blood relative in the whole world is Kang Lehou."

"The mother of this palace honors the world, and the subjects of the world are all descendants, so why be afraid of being famous in life and what will happen after death!" The empress empress said firmly.

Wang Shuo burst into a smile, thinking that this is the bearing that a country should have.Wang Shuofu saluted to show respect, and said: "Your Majesty has the world in her heart, and she has a world in her heart, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people like us. Sleep peacefully, my niece and daughter-in-law will retire now."

In the middle of the walk, he suddenly turned around and said, "Don't worry, Baopu gave you golden yanghua. I changed the dose, and the empress left in a dream, and she could see the wonderful scene of the fairy dancing in the heaven. You are the last filial piety." Wang Shuo's words meant that the queen's death should be blamed on Kang Lehou.

"How dare you, how dare you!" When it comes to other queens who can pretend to be indifferent, who can be calm when it comes to their own lives and lives hanging by a thread.

"Niang Niang~" Wang Shuo called softly, motioning Xuanwu to hold her down, and said: "Niang Niang, please be gentle, you just took the medicine, although it can relieve the medicinal properties of Yangjinhua, it is taboo to make big moves, I I don’t want you to go westward with a phoenix now, it will cause me a lot of trouble. Besides, all the people in the palace have been quarantined for treason, so no matter how loud you are, the guards outside the courtyard can’t hear you.”

Under several threats, the queen forced herself to be calm, shook off Xuanwu's hand, and said angrily, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to sit in the position of my empress." Wang Shuo said bluntly.

"When Tu Geng ascends the throne, you are naturally the queen." The queen said calmly, since Wang Shuo dared to do such a thing, then Tu Geng must have the chance to win.

"No, ma'am, you once said that there is no true love in the palace, but there are exceptions, and my husband is that exception. He has always respected your aunt as a mother. On the surface, the prince's ascension to the throne and his ascension to the throne , you will be regarded as the empress dowager, but the biggest difference between him and the prince is that his biological mother has passed away... Alas, His Royal Highness the Crown Princess will be posthumously named the Empress Dowager, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be posthumously named the Empress Dowager. Your Majesty You know, when it comes to etiquette, the scholars in the court are like chicken blood, and the inheritance rights and titles of the heirs of the concubine and the original step-wife will be discussed again. If there is another court argument, then his throne may not be stable." Wang Shuo explained a lot, and then said: "The throne is not stable, it is inevitable that there will be wars, and for the sake of the world, I can only wrong my mother. You committed rebellion against Prince Chen because of your ineffective teaching. You have to seal the palace and recite the Buddha’s name to forgive the crime. Of course, of course, the prince will definitely not agree. OK."

After all, the pretense of the righteousness of the world is just to become a bitch and set up a memorial archway, seeking a reputation.

"Tu Geng is so scheming!" The queen couldn't hide her anger.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, it was my idea, the lord doesn't know~" Wang Shuo said proudly, obviously happy that he was able to share his husband's worries.

The queen listened indifferently, sighed a fool secretly, and said after a while: "I want to see Kang Lehou."

"Your Majesty, let's write the Zhonggong Notes first." Wang Shuo disagreed.

"I'll see Marquis Kangle first." The queen insisted.

"Well, it's said that the husband and wife are in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes. Your Majesty was so angry that he vomited blood. You didn't even ask a question, but you competed with Kang Lehou." Wang Shuo pretended to sigh several times before he said helplessly: "Okay , as you wish, I will bring Kanglehou to see you in three days."

After the queen clicked, Wang Shuo took another medicine for the queen and let the queen sleep. Before the effect of the medicine took effect, the queen asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word?"

"Your life is in my hands. If you succeed once, you can succeed a second time." Wang Shuo was full of confidence.

The queen looked at Wang Shuo's proud face and slowly closed her eyes. Before her consciousness fell into a deep sleep, her last reaction was: She is such a stupid woman. She has nothing to do with her life or death.

Wang Shuo saw the queen passed out, took the silver needle to test, saw that the queen's body didn't respond, and asked Xuanwu to feel the pulse to make sure she was really asleep. Before leaving, he changed the clothes and bed sheets for the queen, in case the queen didn't pay attention to her. place a mark.

Wang Shuo was helped out of the dormitory by Xuanwu, looking at the bright starry sky outside the hall, he reflected: "Is the performance going well?"

"A superficial, vain, villainous, self-righteous little woman who only has a little cleverness but no great wisdom, the master played the role perfectly!" Xuanwu echoed with a smile.

Wang Shuo smiled faintly. She came here today to test the queen's attitude, cut off the possibility of the queen waking up suddenly and initiate actions, and delay a little time for Tu Geng by the way.What she said just now was contradictory, untrue, and she pretended to reveal the conflicting thoughts between her and Tu Geng. I believe that the queen, who has been in conspiracy and fighting for decades, will seize the opportunity.

Wang Shuo thought, she is not acting. If the time is turned back ten years and she was still trapped in the back house of the Wang family, she would basically have the same idea. She was full of cleverness and calculations. For a while, I thought about compassion not in charge of soldiers, contradictory and at a loss.Fortunately, fortunately, she has come out.

Wang Shuo stared at the starry sky on the top of the imperial city in a daze, Xuanwu supported her and said, "Master, Ye Fengliang, you are pregnant, don't be careless, go back, the prince is waiting for you."

Wang Shuo responded and walked slowly towards Fuxi Hall.

Tu Geng is not in the mood to wait for the return of the princess. A subordinate dressed as a guard of the imperial city came to report: "The chief executive has already started to act."

"Very good, proceed according to the plan, and involve Yongjinghou's Mansion, Yongxianghou's Mansion, Li Guogong Mansion, Qi Guogong Mansion...all involved." The bunch of names Tu Geng Bao stood in secret and did not show on the surface. Yu Tugeng's future rule is a huge hidden danger.

"How about Duke Rongguo's mansion?" All the courtiers knew that Jia Daishan rescued the seriously injured Jia Amnesty and took refuge with the First Prince.

"Rongguo Mansion...sell Jia Daishan to save face. He is still a capable minister. In the future, his son will be degraded to become a nobleman." When it comes to Rongguo Mansion, Ningguo Gong Mansion has to say: If you pretend to be confused, you are not a nonsense person, and the two governments have helped you unintentionally, so let's not pursue it."

The subordinate dressed as a palace guard asked a few more questions before stepping back and not mentioning it.

Wang Shuo went back to the Fuxi Hall to change into the grand gown for the banquet. After washing, he went into the bedroom and saw Tu Geng half lying on the bed reading a book. Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a useless history book like "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".Wang Shuo took out the book with a smile and said, "It's late at night, what are you looking at, there are a lot of things to do tomorrow."

"Killing kings, plotting rebellion and causing chaos, I want to see how it is recorded in the history books." Tu Geng smiled, this is what he is doing.

"If you know why you need to read history books, I can tell you." Wang Shuo threw the book on the ground and said, "Like Li Shimin, who killed his foot and persecuted his father, he is still a Khan of Heaven, and he is still an emperor through the ages; like Wang Mang Yixiang is willing to steal the heavenly position, the thief through the ages—the winner and the loser, nothing more than that."

"It's still up to you." Tu Geng didn't know this truth, but the pressure in his heart was huge and no one shared it. Now that these words came from Wang Shuo's mouth, he was much more at ease. This is probably the strength of his companions.

"Go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow." Wang Shuo fell asleep on his side.

"Yes, tomorrow..." Tu Geng also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, the emperor was still in court early, and the few princes who used to stand at the forefront of the court hall were nowhere to be seen. It was heard that the eighth prince, the youngest in the palace, was also imprisoned for assassination. go in.

Everyone thought that the emperor came to the early court to give everyone an impression of "I am still there", and there would be no real topic. Unexpectedly, the emperor dropped two bombs one after another. And changed the name to Gong, and said a lot of words to assist the government. The emperor meant to let Tu Geng be an assistant prince to assist the emperor's grandson.The second is to decree that several dukes' mansions and the homes of important ministers were copied, which also sounded the alarm for the courtiers.

After dropping these two bombs, the emperor retreated calmly holding the hand of the chief executive, leaving behind the king of Zhongshan... oh, disrespecting the king's will to have an audience.

When Tu Geng arrived, he met the chief executive who was hurrying out. Tu Geng smiled at him and went straight to the hall.

The emperor was sitting on a soft chair, and two court ladies were massaging his legs and feet. His legs were originally useless, but in order to appear tougher, the emperor walked a few steps with strength, and just turned around. The screen was in a place where the courtiers couldn’t see, so the emperor rushed to the street, and the eunuchs half-supported and half-carried the dragon chariot. Fortunately, the emperor’s dragon chariot was usually sealed, otherwise the palace people would not see the emperor’s pain. With a face of cold sweat and grinning.

When Tu Geng came in, the emperor waved away the serving maids, and the last maid who left also closed the door behind her.

With a squeak, only the emperor and Tu Geng remained in the entire hall, and the flickering candles in this hall.

Tu Geng saluted, and it took him a long time to be called out, but he relaxed like a favored emperor's nephew, holding an iron piece to move the wick to make the fire brighter.Even in the daytime, the sun can't shine into the hall, let alone today's cloudy day.

"Boy Geng, come and sit down." The emperor called out affectionately as usual.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tu Geng obediently sat on the soft stool by the emperor's right hand, looking at him quietly.
