Chapter 69: It Was a Sad Story
Days, the snow is starting to fall.
At this time, in the main hall, Sanqing was solemn, and four people sat in front of the stove, holding hot tea soup in their hands, silent for a while.
......
This is a wonderful feeling, the first time Wu Ning has done it by himself in the greenhouse, there are still a lot of people guarding outside, and it is the first time to sit and drink tea with a person of Taiping's level.
But it's just wonderful.
Taiping also thought it was amazing, she didn't know why this young man was sitting here, and he was sitting so calmly.
......
Finally, Xiao Daoren finally broke the silence and said to Wu Ning: "Do you know why you were called in?" ”
Wu Ning shook his head: "I don't know." ”
Since Xiao Laodao told Taiping that he could help, Wu Ning has quickly gone through the whole thing in his heart.
However, he really couldn't think of what his status could do to help Taiping. The only possibility is the promotion of Sibo Wu Changlu.
But this is also unlikely, although the fourth uncle has been promoted, his level is still too far from Princess Taiping.
So I can only admit frankly, I don't know!
Xiao Lao Dao smiled when he heard this, "Rare! There are still things in the world that you Wu Jiulang don't know and can't guess, which is really rare. ”
Feed!!
Wu Ningxin said, it's too much! Praise me, or scold me? I don't boast so much about my conscience!
......
But this sentence really made Taiping's heart tremble. He glanced at Wu Ning deeply, "It turns out that Xiao Langjun is still a learned person. ”
"Where is he erudite, far from erudition!" Xiao Daoren teased for a while.
Nodding his forehead, "But it's true that the brain is different from ordinary people!" ”
"I'm going to borrow your brain today."
"Lend me a brain?" Wu Ning couldn't hold back for a while, "Do you want two taels, or half a catty?" ”
Xiao Lao said: "......"
Meng Cangsheng: "......"
Taiping: "......"
Well, isn't the joke funny?
Ahem!!
He cleared his throat, "What is the use of the Immortal Chief, but please speak up." ”
Xiao Laodao didn't reply to him, but took a deep breath, and said to Taiping: "There is not much time, so the master and nephew will save the politeness!" ”
said bluntly: "When your master went to the immortal, there was a suicide note with me. Among the many disciples, the most uneasy is Her Royal Highness the Princess, who asked me to take care of it more. ”
When Taiping heard this, his expression darkened, and he said gloomily: "Taiping is ashamed, he has no Taoist roots but pretends to be a Taoist, and he has not fulfilled the filial piety of his disciples, and he has to work hard.. The teacher is concerned. ”
"Don't mention that!" Xiao Daoren waved his hand, "Senior brother has valued love and righteousness all his life, which is not only his chance, but also his heart barrier. ”
Said bluntly: "I have already guessed what you are here to invite." However, for the secret dispute in the court, it is really not my specialty. ”
"This...."Xiao Laodao smiled bitterly, "Your uncle, I am not as good as an apprentice." ”
When Meng Cangsheng heard him mentioned, he subconsciously prevaricated: "I can't do it either, I can see through it, but I can't solve it." ”
Pointing at Wu Ning, "I'm not as good as him." ”
Taiping: "......"
Xiao Laodao looked at Wu Ning and said, "It's really not as good as him." ”
Yes, that's how it was used.
I'm helpless, so ugly uncle, if you're fine, you can train me to do this, right?
Inadvertently glanced at Taiping again, Wu Ning is not calm, what the hell are your little eyes full of distrust?
Come, let you see!
A little competitive, Wu Ning was no longer nervous, looked at Princess Taiping and said: "The boy is also a rough and shallow understanding of the affairs of the court, what are the difficulties of Her Royal Highness the princess, although it is said, the boy will do his best." ”
Taiping: "......"
Taiping was a little speechless, he had long heard that her uncle was a little out of tune, but he didn't expect it to be so out of tune.
Just find a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy and say that he can help her solve it, and everyone will be suspicious, right?
Bowing his head and hesitating, Wu Ning on the other side couldn't wait any longer.
"Tell me, what's wrong with the princess?"
"This...."Taiping can't help it," but it's a problem. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Self-preservation!"
"Self-preservation!?"
This time it was Wu Ning's turn to be dumbfounded, and the majestic Taiping Duke who was loved by thousands of people in one wanted to protect himself? Who believes this?
"Yes, self-preservation!"
Up to now, Princess Taiping can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, after all, it is helpless to come to Xiao Daoren to ask for advice.
Let's go through our own predicaments one by one.
......
Wu Ning listened, can he solve this dilemma first, why did he suddenly feel a sense of pity?
The peace in that history is a little different from the real peace that I saw.
Actually, it's quite pathetic.
......
————————
To put it simply, the majestic Princess Taiping is now facing a dilemma:
Or, together with the Li royal family, with the accession of the old lady Wu to the throne, he fell into the abyss of no return;
Either that, it is to obey the path that Mrs. Wu has chosen for her and remarry Wu Chenghei.
However, Taiping didn't want to choose these two paths, so he came to Xiao Laodao, the uncle, to ask for advice.
......
To put it bluntly, Princess Taiping's first marriage was chosen by herself, and at that time Gaozong Li Zhi was still there, and she was very obedient to this youngest daughter, and she loved her very much, so she naturally wanted to choose a colt that Taiping liked.
And Princess Taiping and Xue Shao are indeed in love, and they are also in peace throughout their marriage, and they do not have as many sins as later generations say.
However, as soon as Li Zhi died, the old lady with Wu became more and more powerful and desired, and the life of this unworldly little girl also changed completely.
Later generations said that Wu Zetian didn't look down on Xue Shao, so he took the opportunity of Li Zhong's rebellion to get rid of Xue Shao and wanted to change a husband for Taiping.
In fact, Wu Ning thinks so until now. That old lady is ruthless, what can't she do? To see who is not pleasing to the eye, it is natural to get rid of it.
However, after listening to Princess Taiping's story, Wu Ning knew that things were far from being that simple.
Old Lady Wu is indeed ruthless, and she is indeed in addition to Xue Shao, but she is not without reason, and the reason is very good.
She wants to protect her favorite daughter, that is, Taiping.
......
This is a sad story, a story about power, about family affection, and it is difficult to achieve both.
Mrs. Wu came step by step, and finally reached the top of the world, and Datang would be hers soon.
However, along the way, how much she has gained and how much she will lose.
In order to contend with the Guanlong Group, she had to use cool official politics, so she lost her reputation.
In order to ascend the throne, in order to stabilize the regime after ascending the throne, she must also support the Wu clan's cronies.
However, the rise of the Wu clan will inevitably form an opposition to the Li royal family, and there will inevitably be a life-and-death struggle between them.
And what implicates Taiping is the Li Zhong rebellion.
Li Zhong's rebellion had nothing to do with Xue Shao, but it was inseparable from Xue Shao's brother Xue Yi.
Afterwards, Wu Chenghe, Wu Sansi and other nobles surnamed Wu took the opportunity to purge the royal family, on the one hand, to pave the way for Wu Zetian, and on the other hand, to fully reflect the opposition between Li and Wu.
......
But after all, Taiping's surname is Li, even if Mrs. Wu is favored, there will be times when she is powerful, and there will be times when her power is powerless to save.
This is the bane she herself planted for the sake of power, and it is the situation she has created herself.
Allowed to develop, the final result is that the Taiping is likely to be wiped out by the martial arts along with the Li royal family.
However, Mrs. Wu doesn't want to be peaceful, what should she do?
In line with the principle that a friend of the dead will not die and a poor man, he can only kill his son-in-law and protect his daughter.
Of course, killing the son-in-law is only the first step, and the second step is to find a new son-in-law for Taiping.
This son-in-law must also be a member of the samurai family, so that her daughter can escape this storm of power and affection.
......
Wu Ning sat there quietly, listening to Taiping tell about her troubles;
Listen to her calmly and uncalmly talk about how her husband was starved to death in prison;
heard her say that Wu Zetian couldn't cry or laugh at her maternal love;
Listen to her......
The sadness revealed in the indifference.
......
Wu Ning suddenly thought:
There seems to be a reason why this poor, manipulative woman has become what she will be in the future.
