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

Life was going on unhurriedly. When Wang Shuo had a child, he shifted his focus to the little princess Tuxu, and he could not disturb her by any major state affairs.Gradually, the relationship between her and the Queen Mother also became close. The two had the same views, and they also had unique insights in managing the imperial court. The Queen Mother had rich experience, and Wang Shuo often asked her for advice.

The time came soon. Cai Duoxing, the disciple of Geng Enke, was recruited by the Earl of Xiangmu's mansion as his son-in-law, and married off as a concubine. Take a daughter from a concubine or a side branch, with a view to repaying something in the future.The children of poor families are also willing. Many scholars are waiting to "catch a son-in-law under the list" and climb to the top.The sparrow turns into a phoenix, which also applies to men.

This is nothing at all, the key lies in the fact that this year of weak crown looks like a biography of a modest gentleman. Cai Duoxing has a wife and son in his hometown, just like in the script, this Fan brought his parents-in-law and son all the way From southern Fujian to the capital.

Cai Duoxing's old father was bumped to death in front of the gate of Dali Temple. His death is enough to cause people to discuss, but he forced his son to die for his daughter-in-law. All of a sudden, there were many messages saying that Cai Duo Well, this is so unpopular. My father is helping his wife, and there is only one old woman left, who sheds tears and sighs when she meets everyone, and keeps saying "My son, come back, my son, come back ah."

As a student of Enke and one of the first members of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, Geng was so angry that such a symbolic imperial examination produced such a morally corrupt thing.Of course it’s not because of Cai Duoxing, a dispensable new scholar, but because those old foxes in the court retreated again, and the originally agreed matter of moving the mausoleum of the Crown Prince Kangsu and the Crown Princess was delayed again, Tu Geng still thought about this In one go, he settled the etiquette of Qianling, and made plans for the future title.

"I've never seen a woman in eight lifetimes! Clinging to something flattering! Shameless villain! Incompetent! Now that I've done it, why can't I even keep my tail back!" Tu Geng cursed angrily, pacing back and forth in the back hall of Fuxi Hall , just dropped the table and smashed the decorations.

"Keep down, Xu'er is learning to talk, don't spoil her." Wang Shuo played games on the soft couch with Tu Xu in his arms, watching the little girl prevent her from stuffing the doll into her mouth.

Tu Geng cursed, but he wanted to make Wang Shuo sympathize with the enemy or to comfort him, but unfortunately Wang Shuo was so focused on his daughter that he didn't bother to waste his saliva, so he just pouted and said, "I'm in your palace of Fuxi, and my status is not guaranteed. Already."

"Speak sour words." Wang Shuo asked the nanny to look at Tu Xu, walked up to Tu Geng and sat down, patted his thigh, and Tu Geng lay on her lap knowingly. Wang Shuo took off his nail ring and slowly massaged Tu Geng head.

"You are the lord of the world. If there is anything that doesn't go your way, let the ministers do it. Why bother with your own body? You have a headache again." Recently, Tu Geng had a new headache. The imperial doctor said that it can be relieved by massage, but the head What an important place, now only Wang Shuo and Zhao Xi can have this honor, even Tu Geng often jokes about Ah Shen, who is good at massage skills, does not have this honor.

"Where can you count on them, the matter of father, queen, mother and concubine relocating to the mausoleum has become serious again, and it's all due to that damned Cai Duoxing." Tu Geng was very angry.

"Take your time, Mr. Xia Ge is sixty-two this year, Li Shangshu is 58 years old, and there are still a few years to live. As long as you can stand up, you can get things done even if you work hard." Wang Shuo patiently Persuading, this is also what the queen mother advised her.Politics is about being able to wear plain clothes and endure loneliness. If you want to achieve it overnight, you can't get things done. Slowly grind, it is a comforting word, and it is also the truth.

"You're the only one who will forgive me." Tu Geng smiled with his eyes closed and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"By the way, which side is trying Cai Duoxing's case?" Wang Shuo asked.

"Dali Temple, they deserved it. They ran into the stone lions in front of Dali Temple, and they had no choice but to catch it." Tu Geng gloated, and Dali Temple Minister Shan Zhang also liked to make things difficult for Tu Geng. .

"This case is attracting the attention of the capital, so we should be more careful and careful. If you have any news, please let me know. I want to go and see it when the official trial comes." Wang Shuo said softly.

"Why are you interested in this?" Tu Geng got up and looked at Wang Shuo.

"Lie down, I haven't finished pressing yet!" Wang Shuo patted him on the head, let him continue to lie down, exerted strength with his fingers, and said slowly: "It's not easy to think about that woman, dragging the old and the young, walking all the way from southern Fujian When I came here, I didn’t understand the language, so I don’t know how much I suffered on the way! Women in this world are always as soft as water, if they are forced hard, how can they have the determination to sue Dali Temple.”

"I'm also surprised. You said old man Cai is Cai Duoxing's own father. Why do you embarrass your son for his daughter-in-law? Don't be... is there something tricky?" The direction is guessed.

"Fuck you." Wang Shuo slapped his hands harder, grinning his teeth in pain and said, "You're taking revenge!"

"I'm going to hit you, majestic king of a country, what's on your mind, vulgar!"

"You're not vulgar~" Tu Geng hid Wang Shuo's fingers, and told Wang Shuo a joke, "Didn't that man come from southern Fujian? If he didn't look the same, he wouldn't believe he was from my dynasty. Then talk, tsk tsk, They were chattering, and they couldn't hear what they were saying. The family was making noise at the gate of Dali Temple, talking birdsong. The onlookers gathered around at once, and the crowd was furious, but the little lady made a decisive decision, knelt down on the ground, and explained the matter clearly. You said that woman is not easy, but I don’t think so, she was a little rude at the end smell, but I can still understand it.”

"Are you not letting me take care of it?"

"Take care! Of course you have to take care of it. You are the most sympathetic to the poor and the weak. I asked Zhao Xi to pay attention to it. I will send you any latest news I find. You also supervise the old fritters in Dali Temple. Don't let them You came all the way here, so you’re at a disadvantage.” Tu Geng suddenly changed his mind and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will. If Zhao Xi gives it to me, who do you use?" Wang Shuo asked with concern.

"The case is not progressing every day, just let Zhao Xi pay attention to it, and let him only do this, it's so cheap for him!" Tu Geng raised his voice: "Zhao Xi, your mistress is asking you to take a break. !"

Zhao Xi was standing outside the hall to wait, and when he heard the words, he immediately came to make fun of it, and the flattering Tu Geng and Wang Shuo laughed out loud.

After eating in the Fuxi Hall, Tu Geng went to the main hall. The Northwest is very cold this year, and the crops are not well maintained. Ximan may start to invade the frontier in autumn, and Tu Geng is busy preparing for the battle.

Tu Geng had a good idea, let Cai Duoxing's case divert the attention of all officials in Beijing, and he secretly deployed to win a big victory.Alas, this is the treatment of the new emperor. When the western barbarians invaded the border, the emperor fought and the ministers made peace.

Fortunately, Wang Ziteng is at the border, which can be regarded as a military power in an important border town. Most of Tu Geng's plans still fall on Wang Ziteng. The natural relationship between marriage makes people trust.

Wang Shuo didn't care if Tu Geng had her own thoughts, didn't she have her own purpose in doing these things?

After Tu Geng left, Wang Shuo went to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects, and told the Queen Mother about Cai Duoxing's case, saying only, "The time has come."

"In your opinion, what should we do?" asked the Queen Mother.

"The facts are mostly as what Fan said. Cai Duoxing stopped his wife and remarried, and abandoned his parents and young son. He will definitely be deprived of fame. What crime should he commit? I don't know, and I don't know much about the punishment." Wang Shuo said.

"Then how will the Fan family live in the future?" Queen Mother asked.

"Well, if you didn't receive it from my Zhuangzi, I heard that there is not much embroidery in southern Fujian. She can always do some embroidery to support herself and her son. If she can't be a nun in the Zhuangzi, or farm. There is a word rudder in the name of Cai Duohang, and there are many fishes and shrimps in southern Fujian, so you must always raise fish." Wang Shuo waved his hand and said, "Will Fan's family starve to death if she is here?" He concluded: "I won't treat her badly."

"That's a good idea," the queen mother said, setting the tone: "Let's not say whether the courtiers agree or not, I think the Fan family will not agree."

"How come, I'll give her a way out..." Wang Shuo didn't understand why.

"It's not that the Fan family doesn't agree to live in your Zhuangzi, it's that they don't agree to punish Cai Duoxing." The queen mother said.

"How could it be? She has already gone to Dali Temple, and Old Man Cai is still dead." Wang Shuo said in a low voice, "I always thought that Old Man Cai's death was instigated by Fan."

"Look at it." The Queen Mother handed Wang Shuo a stack of papers, which recorded the words and deeds of Cai's mother and Fan's family. What they wanted was to let Cai Duoxing retire as a concubine in Uncle Xiangmu's mansion. In the family room, Fan continued to be his wife, and Cai Duoxing continued to be his official master.

"What are they thinking? The national law is that if they say they will be prosecuted, they will be tried, and if they are not prosecuted, they will be released." Wang Shuo looked at the information collected by the Queen Mother. Cai's death was a complete misunderstanding. They are unfavorable. Old man Cai is sick all over, so he wants to sacrifice his old life in exchange for the safety of his grandson and old wife.Mother Cai didn't understand the language, and she didn't understand the court's laws, so it wasn't what Fan said.And Fan's own thinking is just to give his son a guarantee. If she makes such a scene, it will definitely ruin the relationship between husband and wife. Fan's willingness to go all out is entirely for his son, who is healthy and educated Talent, the husband can't be relied on, so it depends on the son.

"Only if the imperial court is a village market, you can still bargain." The queen mother sarcastically said.

"Good idea!" Wang Shuo sneered, she thought it was a story about a scumbag abandoning his wife and a poor girl looking for her husband thousands of miles away. She didn't expect that the whole family had a good plan, and no one was a purely good person. "After the Dali Temple case, it's not like they can do whatever they want."

"The government's judgment is all about what you want and what you want, and Fan's opinion is especially important. Family matters like this have always been ignored by the people. If you do it in your way, it won't work." The Queen Mother shook her head.

Wang Shuo thought that he had thought about it thoroughly, but in the eyes of the native queen mother, it was not feasible at all. He was a little discouraged and said, "Then what should we do?"

"Let's just wait and see." The queen mother smiled confidently.
