Under what circumstances will a person who is not lacking in ignorance and cowardice change into a strong and assertive person?

One is the constant pressure, and the other is the perception that your power is far more powerful than you think.

The queen mother is exactly like this, she was born in the old sect of overseas Chinese with strict etiquette, except for the fact that she is fortunate to be the emperor's wife, her resume in the first half of her life is not much different from that of other families. Once the husband dies, in the face of a complex situation, the instinctive action is to rely entirely on the person he feels trustworthy.

However, the reality hit her hard, relying on the mountains and relying on everyone to run. Even if you know that you need to be self-reliant, you don't have that ability, and even if you struggle, it's very difficult.

What really changed the Queen Mother was in the face of the Langya Wang family. She knew very well how strong the Langya Wang clan was, even if Su Zu had to make some compromises in the case of a complete victory.

is such a behemoth, but it slowly collapsed during the period when the queen mother was in power. It is true that she could not do this on her own, but when she revealed her obvious intentions, there were a large number of wise people inside and outside the government and the opposition who worked hard for it. Perhaps these people's intentions are not pure, but the queen mother's will has been implemented by them without compromise and has become a final fact.

The parasitic tumor of the Langya Wang clan entrenched in Jinzuo was cut off, and Wang Dao, the so-called first person in the Dianwu Dynasty and Jiangdong Guan Zhong, was overthrown, all of which happened during the years of the Empress Dowager's reign.

Of course, the Queen Mother knows very well that she is not a capable sage, and she can do this only by borrowing strength. But these things made her understand a truth, she is in this position, itself is a source of strength, she doesn't need to have much ability, as long as she can determine what kind of situation she wants to achieve, someone will definitely help her make it!

If something like this is just an isolated case, the Queen Mother may think that this is her own delusion, but the more similar things happen, the Queen Mother's insights become more and more profound.

If you want to implement her intentions most thoroughly and quickly, then more people need to be able to understand her intentions and more people to do things for her.

In this regard, the Queen Mother is also learning and trying at the same time, not only with outstanding results, but also with obvious progress.

As for the vigilance against the Shen family, the Queen Mother no longer knows where to start. But there were a few moments when she clearly realized that certain restrictions should be placed on the Shen family.

First, seeing that Jiangxia Gongwei Chong actually wanted to treat Shen Chong as a junior, even after becoming the national ruler, he still did not dare to be rude. Although the Empress Dowager also knew that the Wei family was weak in the early years, and Jiang Xiagong had an equal relationship with her son-in-law, but that was before after all. Now that the Wei family has won the favor of the emperor, Wei Chong still regards himself as a weak person in front of Shen Chong.

This made the Empress Dowager feel very uncomfortable, in her opinion, the Wei clan was prominent for a while, and the Shen clan was just a martial artist in Wu Zhong before marrying the imperial family. The Wei family was carefully selected by her as the emperor's helper, and when they were both favored by the imperial family, Wei Chong actually bowed to the Shen family and did not dare to overdo it, which really disappointed her, and she also felt the strength of the Shen family.

Of course, the main reason is that it does not meet her expectations, and even a sense of frustration, so she wants to eliminate this phenomenon that seems strange to her.

Another time, when Princess Xingnan came with good news, the queen mother was really happy at that time, and even wanted to leave the princess in the garden to help take care of it. However, the princess still stubbornly wanted to return to Huainan, without caring about her disobedience to her mother.

But even so, the Queen Mother still prepared a lot patiently, but as a result, the people and things she prepared were worse than those prepared by the Shen family herself.

This made the queen mother's mentality slightly unbalanced, and the emperor had just gotten married at that time, and she showed some infatuation with the queen that seemed to her to be quite excessive. Even if this daughter-in-law was personally selected by her, she was gentle and obedient, but it still gave her a sense of loss and displeasure that her son was shared.

The queen mother asked herself to do her best to maintain family affairs and state affairs, but the relationship between mother and daughter and mother and son was estranged one after another. This inevitably made her quite frustrated, and then became angry with the Shen family. Aerial Shen Chong is a counterattack attempt she made for this, and it turned out that although Shen was strong, he still couldn't resist her desire to like and dislike.

Of course, the Empress Dowager only made a slight attempt, and did not go too far, and when she thought that the Shen family was anxious for a national disaster, especially when her son-in-law Shen Weizhou still led the troops to fight for Jin Zuo Zhongxing, she had a sense of guilt.

Chu Yi and others suggested that the king of Huainan should cross the river to oversee the army and recover Heluo, which was a good thing in the eyes of the queen mother. One is to let the second son get enough experience and grow into the emperor's arm as soon as possible, after all, the emperor's talent is limited, and it is inferior to the king of Huainan, if he can get the help of his brothers, it is also a strengthening for the imperial family.

The second is to give King Huainan the opportunity to work with his son-in-law in the army, and it is also to mend the slightly alienated relationship. What's more, her son-in-law is too capable, first defeated Shikan, invaded Hebei, and then led the army to prepare to recover Heluo, if he can win, it will be a great achievement.

However, Shen Zhezi is too young, and he has already reached the high position of the county prince, and he has made great achievements one after another, and he is almost unsealable. Young and approaching the throne, it can be said that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and it will be the focus of attention and discussion. Let the King of Huainan share the pressure a little, and the Queen Mother feels that this is also a kind of love.

However, it turned out to be a good thing, but it turned out to be like this. The Queen Mother is no longer the ignorant and ignorant she was in previous years, and she can imagine that once the situation is not handled well, it is very likely to have a great impact on the current situation.

As for Shen Chong, who overreacted, the Queen Mother may still have some good feelings before, but it has long been gone. In her opinion, this old raccoon dog is too much, his selfish desires are burning and he only cares about the gains and losses of the portal, he doesn't pay attention to the overall situation at all, and he completely uses his son as a tool for personal gain, he really doesn't deserve to have such an outstanding son!

At the beginning, the Queen Mother also planned to wait and see what happened, hoping that Chu Yu and others could come up with an idea to deal with it.

But she waited in the garden for a few hours, and none of the Taifu who advocated this proposal were announced to enter the garden, which suddenly reminded the queen mother of the Su Jun rebellion in the early years. As a result, in the end, the eldest brother led the crowd to flee, and the rebellious army invaded the garden, if it weren't for Princess Xingnan's rescue at the risk of death, even she herself would have almost died!

"That must never happen again!"

The queen mother is not afraid of death, but she is worried that the society that has finally stabilized will be in turmoil again, so she will really have no face to see Su Zu again until she dies.

Although she didn't think that the Shen family had the courage and ability to lead that kind of turmoil, she was worried that Shen Zhezi on the front line might be centrifuged because of this. He has made great achievements, and if he learns that the rear is unstable, and even his father is forced to deceive the world with his injuries, you can imagine what kind of chill it will be.

Although the queen mother dislikes Shen Chong, she is still full of expectations and values Shen Zhezi. She gave up this attempt, not because she was afraid of Shen Chong and avoided turmoil, but also because she didn't want to make Shen Zhezi misunderstand and chill. Although the Taiwanese assistants need to rely on the present, Shen Zhezi can ensure the stability of Jin Zuo for decades.

"Tomorrow, my son will go to Shen Sikong's mansion again to pay a visit, even if I can't see Sikong, it is indispensable. Your brother-in-law is fighting on the front line, and your sister is also waiting to give birth in Jiangbei, and the old minister is lonely and miserable. Frequent visits are also a gateway to live up to the merits of relatives. ”

After the queen mother pondered for a long time, she instructed the king of Huainan again.

"My son understands that he will never be rude and slack."

King Huainan thought for a moment when he said this, and then spoke: "I will visit again tomorrow, and I hope to bring a medical officer from the garden." ”

The queen mother nodded after hearing this, and it was also a hurry to send the king of Huainan out of the garden, and she was worried that if she exposed Shen Chong, she would inevitably embarrass each other and not be able to come to the stage. But now that I think about it, now that I have made a statement, I also need to force Shen Chong to give a statement, and by the way, I will also be a little vigilant, so that he will not dare to continue to be presumptuous.

The king of Huainan was able to have his own opinions, and the queen mother was really pleased, and then glanced at the emperor, and then sighed, this kind of insight, the emperor does not have.

At this moment, the emperor was holding the soup in his hand and sipping it lightly, and he noticed that the queen mother was not lacking in resentment, and he was busy sitting upright, and a cramped smile was squeezed out of his slightly fat face.

"Alas......"

When the queen mother saw this, she was even more dissatisfied, so she simply waved her hand and asked the palace people to lead her two sons to retreat. Today's incident really exhausted her, even if she lay on the couch for a long time, she didn't feel sleepy, just stared at the decorations in the hall and was stunned.

Although the emperor was timid in front of his mother, he finally recovered a little calmness after leaving the palace, and he always had to maintain some grace in front of his brothers. He looked at the starry sky and said to King Huainan, "It's already so late, Ah Di might as well stay in the garden for one night." ”

When the king of Huainan heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love, but after all, I don't dare to stay for a long time, and I won't be tired if I have my own chariot to travel." ”

After hearing this, the emperor didn't say much, although he was wide and fat, and didn't mind that the queen mother preferred this younger brother, but his temperament was too different, especially the appearance of the king of Huainan made him feel as if the queen mother was in front of him, so he felt even more uncomfortable, and the relationship between them was really not intimate.

This turmoil did not last long, especially when Huainan Jie Bao officially arrived in Jiankang, followed by Shi Kan and a number of major generals, and the city was full of celebrations. And Taichung also took advantage of this to hold grand sacrifices, rewards and other celebrations one after another, and soon covered up the slightest disharmony.

For Huainan's great achievements, Taichung also reacted quickly, and soon gave a reward edict. First of all, Shi Kan and other slave generals hung their heads outside the Suzaku truss, and then there were rewards for the front-line soldiers. Xi Jian successively recovered Huaibei, Qingyan and other prefectures and counties and added the general of Peking University, and the second son was sealed.

As for Shen Zhezi, he was promoted to the assassin of Yuzhou, envoy to the festival, and added the general of the levy, the position of the governor was incomprehensible, and the army of Huainan and Huaibei attacked Heluo.
