57. Drag it out and give it wine!
As soon as these words came out, the temple exploded in an instant.
Standing, kneeling, and even the officials who had already prostrated themselves on the ground and were about to confess their guilt all straightened up at the same time, raised their heads, and stared at Shen Qingyue like monsters.
The emperor jumped up directly from the dragon chair.
There was a chaotic "impossible" in my ears, and I don't know who shouted it. Everyone felt as if they hadn't said anything, but everyone felt a terrible pain in their throats, as if someone had shoved a handful of hot ash that had just been grabbed from under the stove.
Second prince, is it a girl?
This, this, this...... How can it be?!
Everyone in the population center was frantically shouting "impossible", but everyone felt that their hearts were beating hard, and even their bodies were trembling and their legs were cramping.
The absurdity of a woman disguised as a man, and a girl presenting herself as a man all year round, would not be believed if it was in normal times.
But today, there is already an example of winding the forest.
Eunuchs can be pretended to be girls, why can't the prince?
Although this prince is not as petite and thin as the "little eunuch", and his voice is crisp, he does have clear eyebrows and slender figures, and his voice is also brighter than that of ordinary teenagers...... Not to be!
Once suspicion arises, those details that have been ignored by others rush to emerge, and the more you look at them, the more suspicious they become, and the clearer they become.
To their horror, they found that there was indeed not a single characteristic in the best prince that could dispel their suspicions and make them believe that he was "a boy in all his life."
So—
"Yue'er, you?!" The emperor stepped on the imperial steps, staring at Shen Qingyue with a dark face, his face trembling.
Shen Qingyue knelt and shook her head: "Father, son...... Erchen is not ......"
"Not what?" Huan Lin shook his head, "Didn't you deliberately deceive Your Majesty?" ”
"Shut up!" The emperor threw his sleeves and yelled at her: "Lao Tzu is asking his son, what are you talking about!" ”
Huan Lin was yelled at by him, but his mouth muttered unadmittedly: "I want to say 'congratulations' to you!" A son has become a daughter! I heard that your Shen family's daughters are very difficult to raise, your wives have helped you give birth to nineteen daughters, and now only nine are alive, and more than half of them are dead......"
"Around the forest, silence!" Shen Yuli scolded in a low voice beside him.
Huan Lin pursed his lips aggrievedly, and really didn't say anything more.
I saw the emperor slowly walking down from the imperial steps and standing in front of Shen Qingyue: "You tell me honestly, is the slave's words true?" ”
Huan Lin saw the stitches and shouted again: "If Your Royal Highness feels wronged, Mama Fan, Mama Kang and Xiao Anzi are still there, you can check yourself at any time to prove your innocence!" ”
"How can it be!" Taifu Zhao stood up from the crowd and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the second prince is the body of a daughter, how can he be humiliated by the body examination!" ”
"Hah!" Huan Lin clapped his hands and smiled, "He is worthy of being a gentleman who reads for the princes of the popes, and he is really knowledgeable!" I also think that Taifu Zhao, you are right, or the identity of His Royal Highness will not need to be verified, it is a big deal that there will be a female prince and a female emperor in the future, maybe it will be better than the male emperor......"
"How can this be justified!" Mrs. Zhao was so angry that her face flushed.
Shen Qingyue suddenly raised her head and opened her mouth with a sneer: "It's been such a morning, and you finally said something human." ”
"What?" Rounding the forest in a daze.
Shen Qingyue sneered: "Forget it, it still seems stupid." - You yourself would rather be a eunuch than a girl, isn't it because being a girl is only oppressed and enslaved? ”
Huan Lin shook his head, ignorant: "It's more convenient for me to go to the imperial dining room to steal food because I am a eunuch!" ”
Shen Qingyue completely gave up communication with this "same kind", raised her head, and looked at the emperor: "Father, if I were a woman, would you still allow me to continue to study and practice martial arts?" ”
"Fart!" The emperor flicked his sleeves angrily: "What kind of books do girls read, what kind of martial arts do you practice!" You should have gotten married at your age! Your second sister and third sister all gave birth to children when they were your age! ”
"The children are all born, and then what?" Shen Qingyue held Mama Fan's shoulders and slowly stood up, and answered: "The second sister died of a blood collapse in childbirth, leaving a child who is now not as good as a concubine in the hands of the stepfamily, who remembers that it is the emperor's own grandson?" The third sister's child died of fever when she was more than a year old, and the third sister was overly sad, and now she is also struggling to breathe...... Is this the destined end of my daughter? ”
"Bastard, bastard!" The emperor was so angry that he straightened his neck and roared: "Your second sister and third sister are not in a good life, what is the matter with me?" What are you doing mentioning these useless things in the court? ”
Shen Qingyue chuckled lowly, her expression gloomy: "I don't do anything." Father, people's hearts are selfish, and I am no exception. Over the years, I have seen my sisters and sisters unable to study, practice martial arts, or go out to play, and can only survive day after day in the middle school of the boudoir. I remember that the eldest sister starved to death when she was besieged in Rucheng a few years ago, the fourth sister was the one who fled when we lost the war that year, and the car was not enough to be pushed out of the car and fell to death, and the seventh sister and the ninth sister were the ones who were too busy to drag life to death when there was a plague in children that year......"
She wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled bitterly, and continued: "I watched the sisters have accidents one after another, and I saw that the food, cloth, and medicinal materials at home were all tightly used by the brothers, and I knew that it was difficult to survive as a girl. I am very grateful to my mother, although she raised me as a boy to compete for her own favor, but it is precisely because of her selfishness that I can get away with food and clothing and grow up safely. ”
actually admitted his daughter's identity.
The ministers in the palace were both shocked and angry, and they couldn't stop reprimanding me for a word, nothing more than saying something like "changing women into men to confuse the rules", "women pretending to be men to bully the king's crimes", "the great country almost fell into the hands of women", and "women's hearts are really vicious and abnormal".
The emperor seemed to be stunned by the blow, and did not speak for a long time.
Shen Qingyue ignored the others and continued: "Because I am better at reading than all my brothers, my mother had high hopes for me at first, and she hoped that I would be appreciated by my father and that I would win her favor for the rest of my life...... It wasn't until later that I had two younger brothers. ”
"I have a younger brother, and my father has the heart to win the world, and my mother's mind has changed." She laughed self-deprecatingly, and continued: "She no longer wants me to keep her glory, but she begins to tell me to support my two younger brothers every day. Since then, I have been studying, practicing martial arts, and traveling, all for myself, but for the sake of paving the way for those two little ones. I can't remember how many times my mother told me: to be excellent, but not to steal the limelight from the eighth and ninth brothers. When I help them gain a foothold in the future, I have to retire ......."
"Yes, that's the right way." Mrs. Zhao praised.
"Fart!" Shen Qingyue, who has always respected her teacher, scolded her teacher for the first time in her life, "Let go of your father's stinky fart!" Why should I give the things I earned so hard to those two boys who don't use their farts for nothing? The two of them have not suffered anything, they have not spent any strength, why should they step on my shoulders to compete for glory? I have worked hard for so many years, why should I give in, why should I kneel and crawl under the feet of others to live? Besides, I've lived as a man for half my life, so can I quit if I want to? How will I live after I retire? also went to learn that the second sister and the third sister lost their lives for a child, or simply hanged with a rope so that some people could be completely reassured? ”
Mrs. Zhao was insulted in front of his second proud student in his life, and he felt that the dignity of his teacher was provoked, and he was almost about to hit the pillar on the spot, but fortunately, a colleague next to him stopped him in time.
Rao was like this, but the old scholar still broke down and fell to the ground crying, howling: "How can this be, how can you think so...... You are a woman, and those glory and future should not belong to you in the first place! You pretended to be the prince to confuse the court, and almost climbed to the position of the crown prince, Si Chen, but so far not only has you refused to repent, but you also dare to resent your parents, which is really ...... How unreasonable! ”
"What's wrong with Si Chen?" Shen Qingyue sat on the ground as a scoundrel like a forest and sneered: "The chicken learns Si Chen, it has its own ability, unlike the rooster, and it can't learn to lay eggs after eight lifetimes, so it can only desperately brag and exaggerate the significance of 'Si Chen' to put gold on his face, and scold Si Chen's chicken by the way." - Actually, who raises pheasants to Si Chen? Isn't the rooster used to kill and eat meat? ”
"You...... Rotten wood cannot be carved! Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she almost died.
Shen Qingyue hadn't finished speaking, and added another sentence later: "You men are obviously more shameless than peasants!" Although the rooster can't lay eggs, he didn't force the eggs laid by the rooster to follow his surname. Unlike you, there is not enough food to eat and starve girls, not enough medicine to kill girls, not enough cars to sit and fall to death girls...... Fortunately, a few girls live to grow up, and they are not allowed to study, they are not allowed to practice martial arts, they are forced to marry and have children at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and they die on the delivery bed, and the children do not follow the woman's surname! ”
This time, Mrs. Zhao didn't reply, he was already out of breath and out of breath, and he fell to the ground in anger and couldn't speak.
Shen Qingyue saw that no one scolded her anymore, and finally remembered to look back at her emperor father, and grinned again: "What's so good about being a princess?" The princess is no different from the daughters of those untouchable families, they are just men's slaves. I don't want to be a princess, I want to be a man! ”
"It's not up to you to do what you want!" The emperor looked at her with hatred, "If it weren't for your mother reporting that she had given birth to a son, I wouldn't have ...... to the Yang family."
He subconsciously glanced back at Shen Yuli, and then hurriedly looked away, his face gloomy and continued: "You have deceived me for so many years, I can't tolerate you!" Since you don't want to be a princess, then - bury yourself as a prince! ”
"Father," Shen Qingyue sat on the ground without any image, and raised her head: "You really want to kill me?" What do you think of these brothers of mine,"
She stretched out her finger and pointed around: "Big brother, fourth brother, fifth brother...... Which of them will be the crown prince better than me? ”
"It's useless if it's not as good as you!" The emperor's face was ugly, "Who called you a fake prince!" - Yu Linwei, drag it down! Wine! ”
The hall was silent, and Shen Qingyue lay on the ground with her arms on her pillow, laughing: "Haha...... Mrs. Zhao, Mr. Zhao! Won't you say a word for me? Didn't you say that I am talented and virtuous, thoughtful and thoughtful about the world, and if I come to the world one day, I will be a generation of masters? Why is it that now that the 'generation of masters' is about to die, you don't even have the slightest regret? Didn't you say that the kingdom should be governed by charity? I don't think you're doing right today! I'm afraid in your heart,"
She sat up again and pointed to the middle of the temple: "In the hearts of all of you, the country is governed not by love, but by that little bit of stuff in your crotch, right?" What do you have that I don't have? Why can't I do it? ”
The ministers in the palace were already angry enough with her, but at this moment, their faces were as black as ink, and no one was willing to answer her words.
The emperor was so angry that he jumped on the spot and shouted at the top of his voice: "Drag it out!" Don't you hurry up and ...... this rebel Reverse girl dragged out! ”
Yu Linwei didn't dare to hesitate anymore and hurriedly stepped forward to get someone, Shen Qingyue had already jumped up by herself, flicked her sleeves and patted the hem of her clothes that was not stained with dust, and stood up straight with a clear and sunny appearance.
"I can beat twenty of you alone." She pointed to the uneasy looks, and was pleased to see several of them begin to rub their heels back.
Shen Qingyue smiled, her expression calm: "But forget it, I won't fight with you." ”
The feather forest Lang breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Qingyue looked at them with a gentle attitude that was almost loving, and sighed: "I expected that there would be today. I've been waiting for it since the day I knew exactly I was a fake prince...... My mother has calculated all her life, but it is still empty after all. ”
After today's incident, not only is Shen Qingyue finished, but the future of the Eighth Emperor and the Ninth Emperor is unlikely to have any hope.
The fourth prince, Shen Yuli, won a complete victory.
Shen Qingyue relied on the guards not to dare to approach her, and slowly walked in front of Shen Yuli, and said gently: "Today, you can be regarded as taking revenge." ”
Shen Yuli raised his head and frowned: "Actually, there is no hatred. Your methods are not enough to hurt me. ”
"That's not what I'm talking about." Shen Qingyue looked up at the sky, "It seems that you don't know anything about it." My third sister and I were born on the same day, and my mother has shown off her power in front of your mother for this reason. Later, the concubines in the house became more and more arrogant, causing your mother to die of depression, and it was actually inseparable from my mother when you studied it carefully. ”
When the emperor was nothing, he married a girl who sold needlework as his wife, and after four years of marriage, he gave birth to two daughters, and then he was promoted to the rank of military meritorious.
Shen Heng, who was promoted, bought two concubines at once, one of whom became pregnant and gave birth to Shen Dehei soon after entering the door, and the other was that the Qian family was unwilling to be inferior, and after giving birth to a daughter, he bought off the midwife and said that he gave birth to a son.
So on the same day, Yang, the wife who gave birth to her third child and had no new ideas and was a daughter, completely lost her status.
Shen said to someone: The two concubines gave birth to sons, and you are the only one who has three daughters one after another, which obviously can't be relied on by the Shen family, and it is clear that your Yang family's stomach is not good.
So in the next few years, the Yang family could only swallow their anger and be treated by two concubines, three concubines and four concubines...... A bunch of uncountable concubines bullied, pulling three useless daughters with hard work, and living by doing needlework.
After three more years like this, the Yang family finally gave birth to a son, and with great hope, he followed the word "Yu" of the third son, Shen Yuyu, and named the son "Shen Yulin".
When the head of the family comes, good fortune comes. With the little insight that Yang had never seen in the world, he really thought that his good days were coming.
Helplessly, she has a weak temperament, seeing that Shen Heng's officials are getting bigger and bigger, and her ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more concubines in the house, and there are many daughters of wealthy families...... This humble and cowardly woman was in constant fear and anxiety, and finally boiled herself to death when her son was five or six years old.
From his wife's illness to her death, Shen Heng never stepped into the door for two years, but after hearing the news of her death, he ordered the housekeeper to preside over the funeral, and transported the coffin of his deceased wife to Rucheng and buried it next to the eldest daughter who died of starvation two years ago.
As for the two women and one man who were still alive, Shen Heng didn't ask a word from beginning to end, and let the three of them grow like weeds in the cracks of the bricks and stones.
After a few years like this, Shen Heng, who was already able to say everything in the court but could not be called a one-handed cover, remembered the marriage, so he couldn't help but marry the two eldest daughters one after another.
So in the main room, only Shen Yulin was left with a sick and weak grandmother. He changed his name to the word "leave", and the head that had never read the book couldn't figure out what it was commemorating, in short, it was a stomach full of resentment.
And now, those grievances were hooked by Shen Qingyue's few words, and they all came out.
Shen Yuli forcibly suppressed the anger in his stomach, glared at Shen Qingyue, and sneered: "I don't think you came to apologize for your mother." Moreover, the Si people have passed away, and it is useless to apologize. ”
"I don't apologize." Shen Qingyue smiled nonchalantly, "I just want to take one last look at you." ”
"Nothing to see, right?" Shen Yuli looked away a little awkwardly.
Shen Qingyue looked at him and sneered: "It's really nothing to look at, it's not as good as me everywhere!" ”
"Hey!" Huan Lin jumped over unconvinced, "It's not necessarily inferior to you everywhere, right?" At least the heart is a little better than yours! ”
"That's not necessarily," Shen Qingyue disagreed, "However, it's true that luck is better than mine." If I am born as a man, I am afraid that there will be decades of contention with you. ”
Shen Yuli was expressionless: "Not necessarily, maybe you can't compete with me." ”
Shen Qingyue smiled, flicked her sleeves and turned around to walk out, and a string of guards behind her hurriedly followed.
Shen Yuli hurriedly turned around and saw that she was walking calmly under her feet, and somehow suddenly felt that it was not a taste in her heart, and blurted out: "Hey, those are not your fault!" If you are unwilling, it doesn't hurt to come and fight with me in the next life! ”
"Haha, okay!" Shen Qingyue responded loudly, raised her right arm and waved, and strode out of the threshold without looking back.
