Chapter 14: Confrontation
To be honest, before Yu Ying watched the video, she was a little suspicious of Yan Yanran's identity, after all, since she planned to settle accounts together this time, she would check it more carefully.
So after getting the new information, Yu Ying hurriedly looked at it.
Then Yu Ying's first feeling was that this woman was not simple.
But what surprised Yu Ying the most was that she was quite interested in political affairs, and even interfered in government affairs.
This kind of personality is not very in line with the little lady who grew up under the education of three virtues and four virtues.
Although Yu Ying knew that Empress Wu Cao had appeared in history, it was the early Tang Dynasty and was in the most open era.
Moreover, the empress was in Emperor Taizong's study and worked as a maid for many years, and the empress was very scheming, and when she was a maid, she learned a lot of knowledge from Emperor Taizong, which made it possible for her to intervene in government affairs later.
So does Worm Yanran have this opportunity to learn?
Even if she has some chance and learns something, it is difficult for a woman to get ahead in a patriarchal society.
In later generations, when the equality of men and women was advocated, women had to pay more diligence and sweat than men if they wanted to be promoted, and even so, it would still cause gossip and talk about transactions from time to time.
Then the woman came out in ancient times, and the difficulty increased a hundred times.
Anyway, there will be no woman who will emerge in a patriarchal society, and then have the opportunity to be an empress, at most a regent queen mother, and wait until the emperor is in power, and return the power.
Yu Ying actually felt a little pity when she faced the worm in her heart, after all, it was a great courage for a woman to dare to do it.
What makes Yu Ying even more amused is that the two people who originally thought they would be very affectionate, Li Zhexuan and Worm Yanran, have already reached the point where they don't agree with each other, and even Worm Yanran will guard against Li Zhexuan.
Also, Li Zhexuan should be thinking that in addition to Yan Yanran, the Xiao family will only think that Mrs. Xiao is dead.
But is she the kind of woman who resigns herself to her fate? No!
Hehe!
This can explain why the Li family has not wanted to make up for the relationship with the Xiao family until now?
They are already out of alignment.
For Yan Yanran, this is really sad, so she will not give up the power in her hands.
Of course, when they fought, they didn't dare to go too far, after all, they were afraid that if this matter would get to the Xiao family, neither of them would be able to get benefits.
Of course, for Yu Ying, Li Zhexuan is a big scumbag and will never let it go.
But all the evidence also shows that in the death of the original owner, Worm Yan is not to blame.
This made her and her, who stood on opposite sides from the beginning, were absolute opponents.
Naturally, it is impossible for Yu Ying to have a good impression of Yan Yanran.
In fact, Yu Ying is also a person who has been the empress, so it can be seen that she is very stubborn in her governance measures, so she is a little unsuitable, so her decree is changed overnight.
No matter how you look at Yan Yanran, she hasn't thought about it carefully, so the people below are all in a perfunctory attitude, and then take care of their own things.
In Yu Ying's view, Yan Yanran's governance is the effect of Dong Shi's imitation.
But Yan Yanran didn't know it at all, and thought that she had a few brushes in government affairs, which made Yu Ying feel really funny.
But this time, Yu Ying is ready to be a melon eater.
After all, Xiao Weisong had already sued the emperor and cleared up the relationship between Li Zhexuan's wife and the Xiao family.
On the one hand, the emperor is a little unhappy, this is the crime of deceiving the king, okay! I found a fake person, and I also applied for an edict, and it is a fool to be a royal family!
In fact, the emperor found that if Xiao Weisong hadn't been alive and well, he was afraid that they would have succeeded.
Thinking of this, the emperor was angry.
However, as an emperor who likes to gossip, the curiosity in his heart suddenly raised, after all, that Xuan Yanran asked a man to agree to get rid of the man's wife for her.
So how bad should it look to be for the country and the people? to let Li Zhexuan do this kind of thing!
The emperor's curiosity was very curious, and he wanted to know if his idea was correct.
Soon after Yu Ying obtained the information of Li Zhexuan and Jiao Yanran, the people sent by the emperor also arrived, and this time the emperor's people checked more carefully, only to know that half of Yunzhou's government affairs were handled by Jiao Yanran.
In fact, the people sent by the emperor were taken aback when they found out about Yan Yanran's movements, and they were simply dumbfounded.
You must know that it is a taboo for women to control political affairs, so after he found out, he quickly reported the matter to the emperor and waited for the emperor to make an idea.
At this moment, the emperor was more interested this time, and of course he was even more angry.
Speaking of which, the emperor didn't know much about women in his heart, at most he was spoiled, eating, drinking and having fun, and then he didn't care about the children.
It's just that Yu Ying's performance made the emperor finally realize that among those women, there are also very capable people, but they were not given a chance.
When Yu Ying made the emperor a little taboo, another one appeared, although her actions were unseemly, but the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, this is a real woman!
As for the question of Yu Ying being a woman, it was ignored by the emperor, and even the emperor suspected that Yu Ying was the wrong gender when she was reincarnated.
Yu Ying didn't know what the emperor thought, otherwise it would be a black problem all over her face.
After reading the information of Yan Yanran, the emperor was angry and funny, and finally asked his subordinates to issue an order to let Li Zhexuan enter Beijing.
When he received the order, Li Zhexuan was a little weak-hearted, and even had the idea of leaving, but the world was so big that Li Zhexuan couldn't find a place to stay for a while.
If you dare to run, the end will be to become a prisoner of the imperial court.
Therefore, Li Zhexuan would never dare to disobey the documents of the ministry.
As a result, the two people with ghosts in their hearts were in a heavy mood, and it can be said that they went on the road with a feeling of anxiety.
At the same time, Liu Yi and Wei Linglong's families also received orders.
Of course, Xiao Weisong found some abnormalities during this time, in order to prevent someone from making ghosts, to figure out what was going on? Naturally, he knew one thing, the two parties Li Zhexuan and Yan Yanran must not die.
So Xiao Weisong reminded the emperor to send people to follow them, and the emperor also said that Xiao Weisong was making a big fuss.
However, the emperor finally sent someone to protect him secretly, and planned to find an opportunity to laugh at Xiao Weisong in the future, which was purely suspicious.
But what the emperor didn't expect was that his people really caught the person who set the fire, and almost Li Zhexuan and Yan Yanran were buried in the fire.
It can be said that Li Zhexuan and Yan Yanran, after being rescued, felt extremely panicked for a while.
But they didn't know why they thought that it was Xiao Weisong's people who killed them, so they made up their minds to file a lawsuit.
Hearing their accusations, the officers and soldiers who ran out to protect Li Zhexuan and their faces were surprised.
But the person who led the troops felt that someone else should be doing it.
In fact, if Xiao Weisong hadn't specially informed them, Li Zhexuan and Yan Yanran would have almost been planted here.
Neurotic! he sneered in his heart.
However, as a general who was ordered to protect, he asked a sentence about Li Zhexuan and Yan Yanran's accusations: "Then why did Lord Xiao kill you?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Zhexuan and Yan Yanran were suddenly speechless.
Can they say that they killed the real lady of the Xiao family?
If they dare to speak out, not only will they not get sympathy, but they may even think that they have killed their husband and wife, which is a matter of course.
So Li Zhexuan and Yan Yanran looked at each other for a moment, and quickly changed their words, saying that they were frightened just now, and they made a slip of the tongue for a while, and the Xiao family would never do such a thing.
These two people wanted to take back the dirty water that had been spilled.
But they were very strange to find that the people who saved their husband and wife were all looking at them with a strange gaze.
This made Li Zhexuan and Yan Yanran's faces turn into a palette, changing back and forth.
At this time, Li Zhexuan and Yan Yanran remembered too late that one of them was the eldest lady of the Xiao family, and the other was a son-in-law.
How viciously speculated about his mother's family (in-laws), no matter how you look at it, it's not right.
Especially Yan Yanran, who is the eldest lady of the Xiao family, has attracted the attention of others.
It's really too rare for a married girl like this to speak ill of her mother's family unscrupulously, and women in these years basically say that their mother's family is good.
After all, when a woman is in her husband's house, sometimes she needs the support of her mother's family, but it turns out that she is an outlier, and she has not yet found out the facts, so she said such a thing, which makes people have to wonder, is she a little lady from the Xiao family?
These glances made Yan Yanran a little afraid to say anything, biting her lip, very annoyed.
After all, the moment she escaped just now, she was so flustered that she forgot that she was still the eldest lady of the Xiao family.
So it attracted a lot of people's strange eyes, which made Worm Yanran a little flustered, what should I do next?
I haven't seen the Xiao family yet, so I said the wrong thing again, and let the Xiao family know, and I won't be happy.
What to do?
Yan Yanran finally figured out everything, and her body trembled with fright, if she could, she could take her words back.
But when this is said, it cannot be taken back.
Yan Yanran was a little unhappy and gritted her teeth.
Similarly, Li Zhexuan was also panicked, what did he do just now?
I'm afraid that the eldest uncle in the capital will know that he has eaten his own heart.
At this moment, the general said: "I have written down your suspicions, and I will find out who is right and who is wrong when the time comes. ”
Speaking of which, this Wang Commander is the new emperor's real confidant, but he is relatively young and can't suppress people, so he is not very suitable to be the leader of the forbidden army.
Commander Wang's top boss is Xiao Weisong, so Commander Wang is still more familiar with Xiao Weisong.
Speaking of which, Xiao Weisong gives people a very good first feeling.
In addition, after Xiao Weisong arrived, he ruthlessly rectified military discipline, which became a fierce god in the hearts of many forbidden soldiers. However, the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army has been greatly improved, which Commander Wang still admires Xiao Weisong very much.
In fact, in the heart of Commander Wang, he and Xiao Weisong belong to the same country, so naturally they will not have any good feelings towards Li Zhexuan.
If it weren't even for the fact that the Emperor wanted to know what was going on, Commander Wang wouldn't want to save the two of them.
It can be said that Commander Wang doesn't look down on Li Zhexuan in his heart, and he doesn't have any big skills, that is, he is not low at the level of reading books and nonsense, and he even thinks that Xiao Weisong will send someone to kill people.
Although the Xiao family has a very low probability of killing, the Xiao family should be more interested in finding out the truth of the matter.
Therefore, after knowing Li Zhexuan's statement, Commander Wang did not believe that Xiao Weisong wanted to kill Li Zhexuan and his wife.
Because he had heard the emperor mention that Ah Yi, who had been following the Xiao family, was very powerful, and it was very easy to kill a person silently.
But the Xiao family did not do this, but took another path, which made Commander Wang still admire the Xiao family's upbringing.
You know, there are too many people who simply solve problems privately and throw the law aside.
In fact, according to Commander Wang's understanding of the emperor, the emperor was still relatively relieved about the Xiao family.
Even the king knew a secret, and the emperor was thinking in his heart: The Xiao family is good, and even the Xiao family has a girl, why don't you take over the family?
It's just that what the emperor didn't expect later was that Xiao Weisong didn't plan to pick him up at all, and even when he refused, he refused directly, and he was not polite at all.
The emperor felt heartbroken, why didn't Xiao Weisong agree?
You must know that the emperor is ready to let Xiao Weisong choose one of several sons of appropriate age.
As a result, Xiao Weisong gave an answer that was because the royal family did not meet the scope of the Xiao family's selection of sons-in-law.
The emperor wanted to vomit blood, so he chased Xiao Weisong and asked the Xiao family about the criteria for choosing a son-in-law.
Xiao Weisong finally reluctantly said: A couple for a lifetime, and other flowers and plants, cats and dogs, are not allowed to appear.
After hearing this, the emperor's jaw almost fell in shock, and the Xiao family actually wanted to do this.
In addition, the emperor asked: What do you mean by flowers, cats and dogs?
Xiao Weisong said: "It's those men and women who want to throw themselves into their arms. ”
What the hell are men and women? The emperor did not ask in the end, and he was not a fool, so he naturally knew that in fact there were indeed people who liked men, and used their wives as a tool for procreation.
And when Xiao Weisong spoke, he was serious, obviously he was telling the truth.
The emperor was finally defeated, because in the royal family, he was a prince who was divided, and there were also concubines, side concubines, concubines, and girls in the room.
If you want a prince to marry only one, the emperor agrees, but his son will not be willing.
So the emperor had to dispel this idea, but it's a pity! The children cultivated by the eldest lady of the Xiao family are definitely not bad.
It's just that what the emperor didn't expect was that one of his sons ended up marrying Xiao Weisong's daughter, and of course, when he died, they were all monogamous and became a model couple in the eyes of later generations.
Of course, at this time, the emperor and Xiao Weisong did not know the later development.
The two of them are now discussing one thing together, why did Li Zhexuan and Yan Yanran want to kill them?
In fact, the emperor looked at it and felt that the biggest suspect was the Xiao family, so he glanced at Xiao Weisong, and then said, "Xiao Aiqing, what do you think?"
It's a pity that Xiao Weisong scoffed at this accusation and resolutely disagreed.
"I don't have any ideas, it's not the Xiao family anyway, in fact, killing the two of them is cheaper for them, after all, there are some things that need to be explained by them. Xiao Weisong said.
"Also, I wonder who wanted to kill those two idiots?"
After getting the information, the emperor has already depicted Li Zhexuan's character trajectory.
In fact, the emperor found Li Zhexuan and his person, that is, he could read and endorse.
Although the article is good, the flowers are blooming.
But when he was actually an official, he didn't say anything about his achievements, and he didn't think about how to be a good official, but what he was going to do as a calligraphy and painting master.
So what kind of official did he come to do? Or did he work as a calligrapher and painter at home.
Thinking about this, the emperor was just a little unhappy.
He even let his wife be responsible for annotating official documents, what is this for?
Even if Xiao Weisong's sister is so smart, she has never done such a thing.
Xiao Weisong's official documents are all annotated by himself, which Xiao Yin has always insisted on, just to provide advice, but the final decision is Xiao Weisong.
"No matter how you look at it, it feels weird. The Emperor said.
Now there is gradually a little more tacit understanding between the emperor and Xiao Weisong, and he can be regarded as an extra friend who can talk about the world.
And the affairs of the Li family can be regarded as one more secret that can be shared.
And Xiao Weisong wanted to find some clues from the Li family.
Of course, Xiao Weisong knew that he couldn't interfere too much in these things, because this matter had already attracted the attention of the emperor, of course, as a party concerned, Yu Ying felt that he still had to abide by certain rules.
For the Xiao family, the best she can do is not attract the attention of others.
