Chapter 140: The Heart Has a Soul
This kind of reminiscence is better to stop in moderation. So Xue Shao said: "Big brother, you might as well let Miss Shangguan say something, what words does the queen have to convey." ”
"Oh, yes." Xue Yi came back to his senses and said busily, "Then you guys should be busy with official business first, I avoided it." ”
"You don't have to be like that." Shangguan Wan'er said softly, "Childe, in fact, I may not know less about the things back then than you. It's all old things from more than ten years ago, and there's no need to shy away from it. ”
Xue Shao frowned slightly, Shangguan Wan'er actually took the initiative to say, is it to shorten the distance between her and us?
Shangguan Wan'er said: "I was punished and confiscated when I was still in infancy, and I grew up in the palace since I was a child. Even if I blinded my ears and didn't want to hear those things, it wouldn't have been. Because when my grandfather wrote the edict to abolish the queen, it was in the palace. The people in the palace know far more clearly than the people outside! ”
Xue Shao was speechless, it seems that some of the eldest brother's words today really touched the taboo in Shangguan Wan'er's heart. When ordinary people talk about this kind of topic, they must avoid it. But she is Shangguan Wan'er, if she can't even face these problems, she can't survive in the palace to this day, let alone survive by the side of the queen of heaven.
Xue Yi was a little surprised, and said, "With all due respect, since Miss Shangguan knows these old things, how can she face the queen of heaven?" ”
Xue Shao frowned and suddenly smiled bitterly, my eldest brother's mouth!
Shangguan Wan'er smiled faintly and said, "Doesn't the prince want to say that Wan'er recognizes the thief as her father, and is a person who has no king, no father, and is disloyal and unfilial?" ”
"No, Xue definitely didn't mean that." Xue Yi said, "I'm just worried that Miss Shangguan is suffering in her heart, and she is spending her days in the palace like a year. ”
Xue Shao nodded, "Miss Shangguan, my eldest brother has no malicious intentions. ”
"Wan'er understands." Shangguan Wan'er smiled indifferently and said, "The prince is a kind person who is upright and fair, otherwise, such words would never be said in front of Wan'er." But since the words have been spoken, Wan'er is not shy about it. In fact, it is precisely because I know all the details of those things back then that I am determined to serve the queen of heaven without two hearts. ”
"For what?" Xue Yi asked without thinking.
Xue Shao couldn't cry or laugh, big brother, you are too upright, do you have to break the casserole and ask in the end?
Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly and said, "It's okay to say it. As everyone knows, my grandfather was killed when he participated in the plot to depose Empress Wu. But many of the details are not enough for outsiders to understand. Two ...... Do you dare to listen? ”
Xue Yi was slightly stunned, so important?
Xue Shao frowned, "If you can trust our two brothers, then you can say it!" ”
Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, "Then please find a secluded place for the son, Wan'er will talk carefully." ”
"Okay, please study!"
The three of them came to the study, and Xue Shao asked the moon slave to guard downstairs, and idlers should not approach.
After sitting down, Shangguan Wan'er said: "Sixteen years ago, on the sixth day after my full moon, His Majesty the Emperor summoned my grandfather to the palace to plan the abolition of the queen. My grandfather, as the prime minister, was of course loyal to the king. Moreover, he was an old man who was educated by Confucianism, and he had always opposed the queen's interference in regency. So the two hit it off, and my grandfather wrote the edict of the abolition of the queen in the palace on the spot. But before the ink of the edict dried, the queen suddenly appeared in front of His Majesty! ”
Xue Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Then it was really a big deal at that time!" ”
Xue Shaozhi said what he wanted to say, if the emperor Li Zhi and Shangguan Yi, the two monarchs and ministers, were more secure and did not leak the news, then history would definitely be different!
Shangguan Wan'er continued: "At that time, the empress cried and pleaded in front of the emperor in front of my grandfather and argued with reason. His Majesty relented on the spot, because at that time, Empress Wu had just experienced many dangers and turmoil with His Majesty, and she did not have any place to be sorry for His Majesty and Datang. ”
Xue Yi said: "What's next?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Next, it is something that many outsiders don't know. His Majesty said to the Queen of Heaven, I didn't want to depose the queen, Shangguan Yi taught me to do this! ”
"Huh?" Xue Yi screamed, his eyes widened and his mouth formed into a circle, and he couldn't close it anymore.
Xue Shao's reaction was much calmer, because Shangguan Wan'er's words about "things that outsiders don't know" may be sensitive political secrets in the current era of the Tang Dynasty, but it is not surprising at all in later generations. remembers that when An Xiaorou talked about this major political turmoil, she once scolded Li Zhi as a "waste wood basket without discipline".
During the years of fighting against the eldest grandson Wuji Quanchen group, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian worked together to finally fight a bloody way, overthrow the Quanchen and take back the imperial power. After cutting off the enemy, Li Zhi suddenly found that his queen's desire for power and ability were too strong, and he was not a master he could control at all. Therefore, wanting to abolish the queen is simply Li Zhi's personal opinion.
Shangguan Yi was just a loyal staff officer and helper that Li Zhi had found. However, these two monarchs and ministers were so unreliable in handling things, they did not mobilize the forbidden army in advance to suppress the overall situation, and also leaked the news. In the face of Empress Wu's pleas and cross-examination, Li Zhi relented and even confessed on the spot. In order to save some face for himself and find a step to go down, Li Zhi waved his sleeves and threw Shangguan Yi out of the house without hesitation to be a substitute for the dead ghost.
Shangguan Wan'er had a smile on her face, and said calmly: "Junhou, Gongzi, Wan'er wants to ask-if the two are the queen of heaven, in that situation, will they be killed or will the Jedi fight back?" ”
The brothers smiled bitterly at the same time as an answer, ants are still stealing, let alone people?
Political struggles have always been bloody, and if Li Zhi and Shangguanyi had succeeded at that time, the queen of heaven would definitely not have survived today. is nothing more than to stage the tragic death story of Queen Wang and Lady Xiao again.
Shangguan Wan'er was still smiling and said, "Although the Queen of Heaven killed my Shangguan family, Wan'er has never hated the Queen of Heaven. On the contrary, Wan'er has sincere admiration and loyalty to her. Because she has the courage to fight against fate, and with her wisdom to turn danger into disaster and create miracles. Only such a wise and courageous person is truly worthy of trust and trust. As for gender, it doesn't really matter at all! ”
The brothers heard it, and Shangguan Wan'er's voice was scolding Li Zhi for not being trustworthy and trustworthy. In her heart, it was not the queen of heaven who really killed the Shangguan family, but the weak and incompetent emperor Li Zhi who betrayed the minister!
"Hey! ......" Xue Yi sighed, and he didn't know whether Lu Dao was disappointed or emotional.
Xue Shao knew what the eldest brother was thinking. The people of the world have long believed that it was Shangguan Yi who instigated the abolition and failed, and Empress Wu killed Shangguan Yi ruthlessly, and there was nothing about the emperor. Therefore, after learning the truth and details from Shangguan Wan'er's mouth today, the eldest brother's heart must be quite entangled!
In terms of Confucianism's idea of advocating the monarch's father, the monarch's power is supreme and the world is the parent of everything. Li Zhi is the supreme king, and his faults cannot be counted; No matter how good Wu Zetian is, because she is a woman in politics, then she should carry all the black cauldrons on this alone.
This is also the reason and motivation for countless Confucian scholars in later generations who have been constantly describing Black Wu Zetian. In the eyes of Confucianism, Wu Zetian is a demon who brings disaster to the country and the people, and he is useless. The more dirty water was poured on Wu Zetian, the more moral he became as a Confucian student.
Confucianism is the mainstream, so the people of later generations heard the most about how Wu Zetian was ruthless and did not recognize his six relatives, and how he killed people like a wasted and immoral, but few people knew that as an emperor and politician, she made contributions to an era and a nation.
Perhaps Wu Zetian in history had long anticipated how future generations would treat her, so he decided that after his death, he would only set up a "wordless monument" - without saying a word, let others comment!
The Confucian scholars in the name of nobility and the wordless monument standing quietly are the epitome of this period of history and Wu Zetian's life.
"Junhou, Gongzi, Wan'er's words are finished." Shangguan Wan'er sat up straight, bowed down to the two of them, "If there is anything abrupt and inappropriate, I still hope that the prince and the prince Haihan!" ”
Xue Yi nodded and said, "The girl can be so attentive to my two brothers, which shows that she is really sincere. Rest assured, Xue Yi will live up to you! ”
"The husband of the prince and the marquis, a promise." Shangguan Wan'er said goodbye.
Xue Shao smiled slightly and said, "Miss Shangguan, if I were you, I would make the same choice as you." The side of the queen of heaven is indeed your place to settle down. ”
Xue Yi grinned, his face a little ugly. There is no meaning of criticism, more embarrassment and entanglement...... The matter of Shangguan Yi, Your Majesty is indeed unkind!
Shangguan Wan'er smiled at Xue Shao and waved her hand, "Those who know Wan'er, Gongzi also!" ”
Xue Shao nodded with a smile and said, "Big brother, there is something I don't know whether to say or not. ”
Xue Yi said: "Between you and my brothers, what else can't be said?" Miss Shangguan is not an outsider, you say! ”
Xue Shao said: "Back then, my Xue family was demoted, and Chao Yan's declared crime was that his mother was involved in witch Gu. However, the younger brother thinks that it is just an excuse to cover people's ears. The real reason is probably because my father has a close relationship with Shangguan's father and son. ”
Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly, and did not interject.
Xue Yi coughed dryly and said with a wry smile: "Witch Gu is a heinous crime, isn't it a big mistake to use this as an excuse to cover people's ears?" ”
"The younger brother thinks that not only is it not wrong, but it is also quite reasonable." Xue Shao said, "Because, if the princess commits a crime, she should be punished; If a colt sins, deserve to die! ”
"You! ......" Xue Yi's expression changed suddenly, and he sighed helplessly, speechless.
Shangguan Wan'er suddenly realized, "Childe, you are really wise!" ”
Xue Shao shook his head and smiled, I am not wise, but I once had a girlfriend who was proficient in this history.
Shangguan Yi was simply a victim of the struggle for imperial power between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. At that time, even the abolished prince Li Zhong was buried with Shangguan Yi, and there were many officials who were demoted and exiled because of their friendship with Shangguan Yi, and the Xue family was just the most inconspicuous one of them. Princess Chengyang asked the sorcerer to collect the soul of her husband, which was not a big deal at all. But she used the sin of witchcraft to cover up the sin of the party friends of Xue Qian and Shangguan Yi. It is much better to degrade officials and exile than to destroy the door!
Only politics is the most murderous.
Xue Shao looked at his eldest brother, his expression became very solemn, obviously he had understood what I meant by these words just now - if it wasn't for Li Zhi betraying Shangguanyi, how could the Xue family suffer with it? Knowing that his sister's family was innocently punished, Li Zhi only dared to use "witch Gu" to cover up and avoid his capital crime, and he did not let them return to the capital again until he died. In front of Wu Zetian, Li Zhi didn't even have the courage and ability to protect his own sister. In other words, at that time, Li Zhidu no longer had the face to make any demands on Wu Zetian!
In the final analysis, Shangguan Yi died of Li Zhi's betrayal and betrayal, and the suffering of the Xue family over the years was not paying for Li Zhi's weakness and incompetence? After hearing the news of the death of Princess Chengyang and the concubine, Li Zhi cried so much that he ignored the government for a few days, and later rewarded and generously rewarded the sons of the Xue family.
Xue Yi fell into a long silence, and his face became more and more ugly. The truth turned out to be so cruel and pathetic...... Those who harm the Xue family will also be harmed!
Xue Shao quietly glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, Shangguan Wan'er's pair of beautiful eyes were full of wisdom, and she was also looking at him.
The four eyes are facing each other, and the heart is sharp.
