392 Xinglu (23)
Taiping was moved by her. Wei Huan could clearly see the longing and hesitation on her face. Come to think of it, it's such a good location, who wouldn't want to sit on it? Not to mention that it's so close to there... She.
Wei Huan pulled the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, stroked the edge of the rattan table with his hand, and pursed his lips again. This rattan furniture is a gift from the Taiping, which should be unique and unparalleled in the world, but in order to hide people's eyes, the Taiping can only make a whole set of better ones first, and give them to His Majesty, and wait for His Majesty to say that he will do it, and then quietly make a set of less luxurious ones for himself.
Taiping certainly spent a lot of thought - under each object, she carved the style of "Taiping Huan" by herself, using her strange "pinyin", and that strange, It is said to represent the symbol of "beloved" - Wei Huan does not necessarily have to compete with His Majesty, but for more than ten years, every time Taiping wants to do something for himself, Always under the banner of filial piety first, over time, Wei Huan no longer knows whether Taiping is really hiding people's eyes and ears, or because of herself in her heart, It is becoming less and less important, after all, she has so many things, power, wealth, ideals, partners, relatives, and Wei Huan still has nothing. When the Taiping and scholars were discussing poems, scriptures, and the words of the ancestors, Wei Huan could only read Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures by himself in the deep palace. When Taiping was talking about the Military Intelligence Division, the Fengtian Bureau, and the frontier war, Wei Huan could only think about where more people were needed and what to prepare for lunch to please His Majesty - and His Majesty would never be satisfied with all the careful arrangements made for her. There are more and more things that Taiping doesn't talk to her, all of them are trivial, and the reasons for not saying it are often well-intentioned - or just forgotten - but compared to such concealment, Wei Huan hopes that Taiping will talk about everything about him and everything.
It's funny, in the past, Wei Huan always blamed Taiping for being naïve and naïve, but now he found that only the naïve and naïve Taiping is completely hers, if she had a choice, Wei Huan would rather have a stupid and stupid idiot Taiping who has to rely on her own for everything, than a smart and great princess Changle who can't always catch up.
Wei Huan looked at Taiping quietly, this little girl was still hesitating, she was still the same as before, her thoughts were written on her face, but unlike before, now she knew to lower her head to hide her emotions, even in front of Wei Huan. Wei Huan suddenly became a little unhappy, coughed lightly, and wanted to urge Taiping to make a decision quickly, and then as soon as the voice came out, she knew that she was too anxious and did something wrong - she often had such a time recently, that day she should not have been fighting with Taiping, but she couldn't hold back her emotions and said the truth angrily, although Taiping chased her out immediately as expected, and the next day she was willing to coax her like that, but she still regretted it. The most important thing she learned from the Cui family was not these family etiquette and boudoir teachings, but the most important weapon of a woman, which was gentleness.
Taiping was awakened by Wei Huan's light cough, and raised his head blindfolded, Wei Huan loved her big confused eyes, like a lost pony, looking up at the shepherd for directions, but this confusion did not last long, Taiping quickly opened his mouth with clarity, and asked the question that Wei Huan didn't want to hear: "How do you plan to achieve this?"
Wei Huan turned his head, unwilling to look at Taiping's eyes, but Taiping moved his steps, stood in front of Wei Huan, and looked at her from top to bottom, with a solemn face: "As long as Brother Rui is in one day, I will never be nameless, for this, you... What are you going to do to Brother Rui, and how are you going to get out safely after that?"
Taiping paused, and said: "In addition to Brother Rui, there are also courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty." I don't want to tell you whether it is right or wrong for the party to fight against dissent and eliminate dissent, I just ask you, how far do you want to go for this matter? How many righteous people do you want to kill? How many cool officials do you have to use? What you want is greater than that of Ah Niang, and the fierceness of the struggle is probably worse than that of Ah Niang at the beginning, right? And how sure you can be that you can succeed in this way as an enemy of the whole world? As soon as this example was opened, there were constant rebellions, disputes broke out everywhere, and the country was restless, and you did not hesitate to do it? What do you have to rely on to maintain such a system when resources are scarce? Are you sure that the people you relied on in the first place—the men—will willingly do these things for us that are not beneficial to them after you have achieved your goal? Are you sure that by doing so, you are elevating the status of women, rather than causing greater repression? When A-Niang ascended the throne, the Siyehu people took the opportunity to cause rebellion, and if this matter caused a great upheaval in the court, what about the Tibetans, the Turks, the Khitans, and Silla? Ah Huan, it is not impossible to make dangerous moves, but sometimes it is too dangerous and desperate, and it is inevitably biased. ”
Wei Huan looked at Taiping quietly, Taiping was excited, and stood closer than Fang Cai, but in Wei Huan's eyes, it seemed to be farther away, she suddenly realized that Taiping's knowledge was getting wider and wider, and she was thinking more and more thoughtfully, but Wei Huan was still just Wei Huan. This little lady's wings have been completed, even if Cui Mingde is not by her side, Wei Huan can no longer control her.
Wei Huan suddenly felt a little scared, and because of this fear, he was a little angry: "No matter what, I have made up my mind, even if you don't do it, I will continue to do it." He glanced at Taiping coldly, and said: "You can't bear to kill people, or you can continue to walk your benevolent royal way, I also have my own way, let's go our own way, see who does better." ”
Taiping's face changed, which Wei Huan expected, but she didn't cry or plead because of this, she just looked at Wei Huan fixedly, and smiled for a long time: "Ah Huan thinks I don't dare to kill?"
Wei Huan's heart trembled, and his hand grabbed at his side, but he didn't stretch it out.
Taiping said lightly: "I am no longer what I used to be, and I know what these battles are all about. I'm not a pedantic person, and if I really want to use some means for those things, I... There is no need to do so. But I don't want it, because the end is just, so even the means become just. Things in the world are not black and white, but they are not pure gray. I'll use those methods, but I'll never forget, they... I will not use them without restraint, for the sake of my conscience, and for the sake of... Their own little life. She smiled bitterly when she said "little life", her eyes were shining, and there were clear tears: "I know that what I want to fight against is not a group of people, but a whole system, unless it is set off from the roots, there is no way to innovate, but I hope that this innovation is gradual, such as the treatment of stubborn diseases must be slowly regulated, such as cooking small fresh must be calmly tasted, rather than a moment, a lifetime of righteousness." I also know that Ah Huan, you are bitter in your heart... But even if it's for me, can you... Be patient, don't take such a big risk?"
Wei Huan lowered his eyes: "You can be patient, because you don't have a husband, but I am the princess of Luling, my husband is the only son today, the only surviving son of the first emperor, if he comes back, what should I do?"
Taiping didn't think about it, Wei Huan had already guessed it, but he still felt cold, clenched his fists, and continued to lower his eyes: "You want me to continue to endure for you, so what if I want you to do this for me?
Taiping was silent for a long time and said: "I would rather support San Lang, he is at least a material that can be made, and he is not a legitimate sect son, if you want to ascend the throne, you must be strong." ”
Wei Huan squinted: "Do you think San Lang will leave Erlang in the fief and be his king of Luling? Then I might as well support your brother, at least I am still his wife who is marrying Ming Media." She bit the word "wife" very hard, and was satisfied to see Taiping showing some painful looks, and added maliciously: "As long as I live longer than him, I will eventually have a bright day." ”
It's time for Taiping to be angry. This little princess looks easy-going, but her temper is also very big. Wei Huan looked at her with a sneer, waiting for her to be angry, Taiping lived up to his expectations, and quickly opened his mouth, but what he said was far from what Wei Huan had imagined: "Hasn't Ah Huan always wanted to know about those immortals? I'm not afraid to tell you, in fact, everything about the immortals is made up by me." I'm not from the gods, I'm from the future. I am not a princess of the Tang Dynasty, nor am I the biological daughter of His Majesty today. I was just a ghost many years later, the daughter of an ordinary citizen, who happened to enter this body. If you want to, you can tell Ah Niang or anyone at any time, even if they don't believe that I am not the daughter of the Li family, they will think that I am a little sneaky, or crazy, and everything I have now will be empty. This is the only secret I have never told you, and it is my fatal weakness. The evidence is also readily available, the piece of paper you have in your hand, the piece of paper I wrote - hold this in your hand, and you can put me to death at any time. ”
Wei Huan looked at her in a daze, and opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say a sentence completely.
Taiping Yuan looked at her with his eyes open: "I know that you have been worried, and I feel that I have neglected you." It's my fault. I also know that as long as you're stuck here, you won't feel at ease in whatever I do. So I'll tell you the secret. Now you hold my life and death in your hands. Would you like to do it for me... Have you been patient?"
Wei Huan knew that he had lost. Taiping's eyes were clear and bright, shining with an irresistible light, like the sun shining into the courtyard through the mist in the morning. But she was not reconciled. She has endured in the harem for more than ten years, I don't know how long she will endure, and I don't know if it is a good decision to endure it, she clenched her fist gently, her throat shook, and after a few times, she calmly spoke: "I remember that Wu Minzhi threatened you back then, and you told me that you would defeat him openly in the court." ”
Taiping raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Huan, those eyes made Wei Huan's heart move, and he turned his head uncomfortably: "At that time, you were still young, powerless, and powerless, but you couldn't do the wish you made casually." Now that you have gained a foothold in the temple, you can fight with others in the court and get what you want. As for me, although I can't live in the temple, I am fortunate to be the concubine of the prince, and at this very autumn, I can also be tactful and gentle. Shall we compare ourselves in the open, and see if your Word is more effective, or is my Word more effective?"
Taiping looked at her with some concern, hesitated for a long time before nodding, but looked at Wei Huan and said, "If you tell me to die, I won't die." If you die, I won't die with you, at most try to save you. But you also know that I am squeamish, stubborn, and not in good health. If something happens to you, I am angry, anxious and blamed myself, and I don't know what will happen. I know that you have made such a decision, and you will not change what I say, I only hope that before you do something, you can think about me a little bit, and also think about etiquette. Holding Wei Huan's hand, kissing the back of her hand gently, raising her head, and looking deeply into Wei Huan's eyes: "I want you to know that you and I are a family with Shouli, and you and I will always be one." ”
The author has something to say: Notes:
1. In the first two articles, it was called "Jieyu", originally because the name of the harem □□ was changed, but I didn't find this new title for a while, so I used "Jieyu" for the time being, but then I remembered that the Tang people actually often used other names, not to mention that this is not a formal canonization, so I still use the title "Jieyu". From Wan'er's talent (Chengzhi) to Jieyu is a change from five to three grades, from the official grade, it belongs to the qualitative leap from the middle level to the high-level, that is, from now on, you can wear purple and gold in a bright light.
2. The patriarchy of the ancients is mainly to pass on the son rather than the grandson, and there is also the factor that the country depends on the long monarch, so in terms of inheritance, the prince is much more justified than the emperor and grandson (not considering the deliberate manipulation of the reign of the minister). The separation of the family and other matters of the people is basically divided according to the heirloom (so Jia Huan wanted to kill Jia Baoyu instead of Jia Lan, and after Jia Zhu's death, Jia Baoyu instead of Jia Lan became the hope of Mrs. Wang). 166 Reading Network
