Chapter 152: Deep Love for Daughters
61_61522 Lao Zhongyi said: "Do you still think that you are right to send a woman to the palace? ”
Mrs. Zhao had no time to care about her husband's questioning, and her mind was full of the difficulties her beloved daughter would face in the future, and she couldn't help but feel sad and cry.
Old Zhongyi sighed, what could he do with such a stupid woman? He turned his head and said, "Chongyi, everything in the past was the fault of the father, and I am sorry for your mother and son." Especially sorry for your mother. However, our family is not your home alone, it is the home of the entire Zhao family, there are so many clansmen, and you have many brothers and sisters. Not to mention anything else, you have had a good relationship with your eldest brother since you were a child, and you have a deep brotherly relationship, and you don't want to see your eldest brother ruined and affected by his mother, right? You don't want your nephews to be unable to keep the foundation of the Loyal Mansion in the future, do you? That's it, today's matter, I will persuade your mother-in-law not to pursue it anymore, and try to restrain her in the future, so that she can no longer make trouble for you. You should forgive her for your mother's affairs. ”
For such a treatment, Zhao Chongyi is a hundred unwilling, you don't need to look at it to know, Mrs. Zhao also disagrees, but seeing the appearance of his father, especially the way he admits his mistakes, he feels uncomfortable. Speaking of which, it is also self-inflicted for my mother to end up like this, why do you have to fall in love with her father, who is already a married man? Why do you have to marry your father? Even does not hesitate to be a concubine, if her mother does not marry her father, she will definitely live an ordinary life, although she does not enjoy glory and wealth, but she will not die.
Is a third party so easy to be? If that's not all, what will you leave for your children? What is left behind is pieces of heartache. When he was a child, he was plotted by his mother-in-law many times, and he was often ridiculed by children of the same age because he was a concubine. So. He doesn't have many friends, only the crown prince Liu Yan, because Liu Yan is also a prince who can't get the love of his parents.
However, compared to herself, her sister Rongxue was even more pitiful, and not long after she was born, her mother died. She was taken away by Mrs. Zhao who was in her heart or side. Sent to live in the green building, how much suffering I suffered. Hey, forget it. What my father said is not wrong, the Zhao family is not alone, there is an entire clan, and his beloved eldest brother. There is also Xian Shu, who loves his sister-in-law. And his lovely nephews, whose blood is thicker than water. He really can't give it up, this is really a mouse and a jade bottle. Although he was happy for a while, he was able to rectify the enemy Mrs. Zhao. However, implicating the entire Zhao clan is really worth the loss.
Zhao Chongyi's hatred turned into helplessness for fate. Nodding, he turned and walked away. Walking in a hurry, it disappeared into the wind and snow in a moment.
Although Lao Zhongyi stood in the house, because Mrs. Zhao loved luxury, the room was equipped with huge glass windows, so the situation outside the house could be seen very clearly. Looking at his son's back in the wind and snow, the old loyal and righteous father was sad for a while.
After a long time, he turned around and looked at Mrs. Zhao, who was still crying, and his face turned cold.
Half loud, as if he didn't want to hear Mrs. Zhao crying anymore, he said coldly: "Okay?" Have you cried enough? Don't be wronged, what do you have to be wronged? Am I a mess before? Because of what, you know in your heart. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's talk about the present. Let's talk about Concubine De first. She has no children now, the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and she hasn't been to the court for more than ten days, and the prince is handling everything in the court. If it goes on like this, I don't think the emperor's days are numbered, and if Concubine De wants to get pregnant again at this time, it is impossible. There was only one way to save her life. ”
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly widened her eyes and asked, "What method?" ”
Lao Zhongyi said: "Only the queen mother is gracious, leaving Concubine De Niangniang." There is a precedent for this. The emperor has died, and the queen mother will definitely become the queen mother, and the queen mother is different from the queen. The queen may still be deposed, but the queen mother has a stable position. There are even times when power is above the new emperor. The queen mother has become the queen mother, and the new queen can only be between the current crown princess and Bai Liangdi. ”
Mrs. Zhao was taken aback: "What does the old man mean by this?" Could it be that the crown princess can't become the queen yet, how is it possible? ”
Lao Zhongyi sighed and said: "You think you know the situation in the capital very well every day, but you don't know it, what the capital can let you know is what the court wants you to know, and there are many things in this world that you don't know." You women, you have always thought that the great emperor of heaven and earth has the greatest power? In fact, no, there are four great families alongside the imperial power. ”
Mrs. Zhao smiled contemptuously: "Old man, are you an ignorant woman to me?" Can I still not know about the four great families? Isn't it the four great families of Chen, Bai, Wang, and Li? I know all the wives of these families. and knew that they had a clan land in the land. However, it's just a family, how can it be compared with the royal family? There are many big families like this in the capital, the Shen family, the Qi family, and the Tian family, there are too many. There are huge families in the locality, and there are more clansmen, and there are more officials. Our Zhao family is not bad. Aren't there several officials in our family? The official position is not low. ”
Lao Zhongyi smiled: "We can be called a family like this? At best, it's just a noble family. Our Zhao family's hometown is in the northwest, in a remote county town. We are also considered to be a noble family in our hometown, and the county order depends on our family's face, but can our clansmen decide who will be our county commander? Can I not pay taxes? Can you have your own army? ”
Mrs. Zhao said: "That's not possible, this is always the royal Chu, no matter how powerful we are, where is our turn to elect officials?" Not to mention raising an army. ”
Lao Zhongyi said: "The four great families can." Do you think that the people of the four great families you know are those of the four great families who live in the capital? They are just one of the four great families in the capital. In fact, in the clan land of the four great families, each has a province, or even three provinces or four provinces. In these places, there is no need to pay taxes to the imperial court, and the appointment of officials is decided by the patriarchs of the four major families, and the most important thing is that the four major families have raised armies with similar combat strength as the strength of Da Chu. ”
Mrs. Zhao was stunned.
Lao Zhongyi said: "In the previous dynasty, Emperor Guanglie sealed the five great families, and these five great families guarded the northeast, northwest, west, Tibet, and the south of the frontier area, with a wide area. Among the five great families, the Liu family later rose to replace the previous dynasty, the Ying dynasty, and established the Great Chu. The four great families supported the Liu family, and the Liu family shared the world with the four great families. Although the four major families are nominally under the control of the imperial court, their patriarchs are all on an equal footing with the royal family, and it is stipulated that the queen of the Liu family can only be a member of the four major families, and there are regulations in the previous dynasty that the queen mother and the queen cannot have the same surname. Therefore, Empress Chen became the queen mother, and the crown princess also belonged to the Chen family, so she couldn't produce two queens Chen in a row. The position of the queen is likely to fall on the head of the Bai family. ”
Mrs. Zhao suddenly felt that her brain was not enough, it turned out that their so-called peaceful and prosperous era was a situation of princes separating, but she always thought that if her daughter could get grace, she would be able to become a queen one day, and the Zhao family would also become a family.
Lao Zhongyi said: "Therefore, those real magnates in the capital are not willing to send their concubines to the palace, and they can't be queens anyway." So, back then, I knew how annoyed I was when you sent your two daughters to run for election and entered the palace? Our Zhao family is when it is powerful and powerful, why should we send our daughter over as a concubine? ”
Mrs. Zhao suddenly understood, no wonder when her daughter entered the palace, in addition to the girls of the four major families, she was the girl of the petty official, or the concubine of the family of the person in power, at that time, her two daughters were noble, beyond all the girls, she was still complacent about this, and she was proud for a long time. No wonder, the ladies she knew well also had excellent daughters in the family, and the age was also appropriate, why didn't they send them to the palace, it turned out to be this reason. This royal family is only an equal family with the four major families, and it can even be said that it is a larger family. It's ridiculous, how could she do such a ridiculous thing with her daughter's life?
Thinking of this, she thought of her eldest daughter who died tragically, she killed her own biological daughter, and now she pushed this daughter into the fire pit, how is this good?
Mrs. Zhao asked with a bitter face: "Why didn't the old man tell me about these things?" ”
The old loyal and righteous man sighed and said, "This is also to blame me." I'm away all year round, where can I have the opportunity to tell you this? Since I arrived in the northwest, although I often write letters to my home, this letter will be reviewed by the emperor's secret department, how can I write these things on the letter? This is all fate, our eldest daughter has given her life because of this, and now there is a second daughter in the palace, no matter what, we also have to think of saving her. This requires the Queen Mother and the Queen to work together to save our daughter from being buried. ”
Mrs. Zhao suddenly had no idea, when she thought that the woman she was proud of was going to be buried, she had the urge to kill herself, where would she do this? Where is there such a pit for his own daughter? What a stupid woman she is.
Mrs. Zhao, who has no master of the six gods, asked: "I know that I was wrong, my ignorance hurt our daughter, old man, that is also your blood, how can you save her." She's only been in her teens for ten years, she can't be so miserable. Even if I divorce me, I'm willing, ask my husband to save my daughter, right? (To be continued)
