Chapter 177: Advance is Retreat

In the palace, the Empress Dowager Cui was still stuck with the eldest princess of Yuwen Hongxunyang, and at this time, Cui Wen, the second master of the Cui family, finally returned to Gyeonggi. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After all, Coco Cui is a big man, and he has been in the court for so long, so he is much smarter than his wife, and he will not enter the palace like a headless fly as soon as something happens to the Empress Dowager Cui to find the Empress Dowager to get an idea and find the queen to take an idea, hoping that the Empress Dowager Cui and the Empress will use their power to suppress Xunyang, force Xunyang to go back, and then reconcile with Yuwenhong.

In this day and age, it is sometimes true that women have long hair and short knowledge. It's not that women are inherently inferior to men, but that women have been locked up in the back house since they were young, and they don't go out of the door, unlike men who have been carefully cultivated since childhood and have limited knowledge.

If you think about it in modern times, there is such a big difference in knowledge and vision between rural children and urban children, is it really because rural children are not as talented as urban children? Of course not, this is the difference in vision and investment in education that they have been exposed to since childhood. The same is true for men and women in this era, because men rule and dominate this era, and men get the best resources, so women with insufficient resources are gradually inferior to men, and even if they can live some resources, they are leaked out of men's hands, and men want you to serve them.

No matter what Cui Wen thinks in his heart, he still shows respect to Yu Wenhong in his attitude.

When he returned to Gyeonggi, he directly took off his official hat and official mansion, knelt down in front of hundreds of civil and military officials in the Hanyuan Hall with both hands, and shouted: "The minister is guilty!"

Then he began to vigorously state his godson's crime of having no way, and the more he said it, the more serious it became, saying that his sin was simply unforgivable, and the emperor could not set an example without punishment. Then he said that he was going to resign and introspect himself, and he thought about it. For Cui Mian, Cui Cohen did not intercede, but said that he should be punished, and everything depends on the emperor's fate - you see, the smart way to go is to retreat into the route.

The more a person quibbles about his crimes, the more he will be seen by others at the slightest mistake, which is an unforgivable mistake. However, if a person has a good attitude of admitting mistakes and takes all the responsibility for his mistakes on himself, others will think that even if he has made a more serious mistake, it will not be a big deal.

For example, the Cui family, standing in the court for decades, the first emperor and the present dynasty are all relatives who hold real power, not to mention all of the court, at least half of the people are protégés of the Cui family or people who are good friends with the Cui family.

As a result, as soon as Coco Cui pleaded guilty like this, many people felt in their hearts that it was not the eldest princess of Xunyang and Mrs. Cui Mian who had two quarrels, why did the emperor do this.

As mentioned earlier, men in this era are born with a contempt for women, even princesses.

Everyone felt that there was a dispute between the husband and wife of ordinary people, and the in-laws on both sides were persuaded to leave. rose to the status of the princess, although Cui Mian also slapped the eldest princess, but after all, it did not cause any serious harm to the eldest princess, and the emperor taught Cui Mian two sentences, and it rose to the point of tying up and shouting and killing, and the emperor made a big fuss.

As for Cui Mian to mess with flowers and grass, which man is not lustful, they even think that the princess should be generous and turn a blind eye, at least Cui Mian did not say that he wanted to take a concubine and let the princess work with other women, and he also respected the princess, what else did the princess have to worry about.

Hey, sometimes as a woman, it's really hard to understand the excuses that men take for granted for their lust and amorousness, and in the modern age of monogamy, a certain Mr. Cheng can still say that his cheating is "a mistake that all men in the world will make", and how many men in the world do not uphold the same psychology as him.

At this time, these people who were close to the Cui family faction in the court not only thought so in their hearts, but also said it directly in the court, pleading for Cui Wen and Cui Mian.

As for Cui Mian's arrogant words, "The world of the Yuwen family was brought down by the Cui family, and the throne of the Yuwen family was given to the Cui family to sit on the throne", well, I'm sorry, they are not easy to explain, so everyone automatically chose to block and ignore, and try to characterize this matter as a quarrel between the princess and the concubine.

Yu Wenhong seemed to be deaf to all this in the court, he just tied up Cui Mian and let the princess live back in the palace, he didn't say anything else, and he didn't deal with Cui Mian, and he was also expressionless and indifferent to the intercession of the Cui family and Cui Mian by the civil and military officials of the half dynasty at this time.

Although Yu Wenhong was silent on his face, he estimated that he had done nothing less in private, and he was not afraid of making things bigger, this style of painting gradually deviated, and the impeachment of the Cui family and Cui Mian by the other half of the courtiers in the court changed from the initial impeachment of Cui Mian for disrespecting the princess and disrespecting the emperor, to the bad deeds of the Cui family outside, and then gradually spread to the Empress Dowager Cui interfering in politics, whether the Cui family has bad intentions.

However, what is a little surprising is that the most impeached among them is the king of Qinghe County, who is far away in the domain.

This king of Qinghe County is the fourth prince of the first emperor.

The first emperor gave birth to a total of five sons, the eldest prince Yu Wenwei is the eldest son of the emperor who leads the army to fight and is loved by civil and military officials, and the foreign family is also several generations of prominent generations of loyal martyrs. Although the second prince Yu Wenxuan is not as good as the eldest prince, his mother Concubine Liang Shufei is the great-granddaughter of the eldest princess of Ningyang and the niece of the first emperor.

And who is the eldest princess of Ningyang? The sister of Emperor Gaozu's relatives, when Emperor Gaozu decided to compete in the world, everyone in the Yuwen clan was not optimistic, and did not get the support of the clan, and the Yuwen clan was afraid of getting into the disaster of death, but the Gaozu Emperor was expelled from the clan, and the only people who supported him were his sister-in-law Princess Ningyang and his younger brother King Gaoyang.

The first generation of King Gaoyang helped Emperor Gaozu conquer the world, and although this eldest princess of Ningyang could not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, she also did a lot of things for Emperor Gaozu. Emperor Gaozu's ambition to compete for the world back then was not stillborn, and there was a little bit of credit for the eldest princess of Ningyang.

And who is Concubine Liang Shu's maternal grandfather, Emperor Gaozu's queen was a second marriage, and she had a son with her ex-husband before being robbed by Emperor Gaozu, and this son was later exiled. After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he heard from the mother who was already the queen mother at that time that she had such a half-brother, and saw that the queen mother often missed this eldest son, so he asked people to find this brother, gave him glory and wealth, and named him the Marquis of Anyi. The daughter of the Marquis of An Yi married the grandson of the eldest princess of Ningyang, and then gave birth to Concubine Liang Shu.

Therefore, Liang Shufei's family background is a complex parent, so that Yu Wenxuan, who was born to Liang Shufei under the family background, will naturally not be underestimated. And Concubine Liang Shu, who was the only living concubine in the palace concubines of the first emperor except for Empress Dowager Cui, was taken to serve in the domain after Yuwen Xuan became a vassal. The first emperor's harem is complicated, she can live so long under the nose of Empress Dowager Cui, and finally be able to live by her son's side, she is also a great figure, at least her IQ will not be bad.

As for Yu Wenhong, although the mother concubine's background is not good, she can't bear that Concubine Bai Xian is the most beloved woman of the first emperor, and Yu Wenhong naturally became the most beloved son of the first emperor. After the death of Concubine Bai Xian, the first emperor was famous for pampering and pampering him.

Needless to say, the fifth prince Yu Wenjiong, the son of the Empress Dowager Cui, the only prince of the first emperor, it is difficult for people to ignore it.

Only the fourth prince Yu Wenhuan is a little transparent, the mother concubine is not good and not favored, he fell when he was a child and fell and his leg was lame, so he has an inferiority complex and few words, and has become the most unappreciated prince in this palace, and when he finally divided the land, he was only crowned a county king.

But this King of Qinghe, who was born with low self-esteem and few words, was as active as a chicken blood when he encountered the affairs of the Cui family, and he hated the Cui family very much. As small as the Cui family killing a servant girl, to the Cui family's chaos in the court, he dares to say anything on the excerpt, never avoids taboos, what is impeached, Yu Wenhong's desk can appear every three or five times A letter of his impeachment of the Cui family, so this time is the same.

The king of Qinghe County also had many charges of impeachment this time, but the most serious one was that the Cui family set up a private weapons workshop to manufacture weapons, and they had the intention of rebellion. He was on the fold, and even the Cui family's armory workshop exploded a few days ago, and many people knew that he had cheated to death.

I don't mind telling others that he must have planted a lot of fine works in the Cui family, specifically searching for the Cui family's pigtails.
