Chapter 354: Straightforward
In the words used in the words, there are some meanings that violate ethics and morality, which are really a bit excessive, but everyone has to admit that the words that came out of Yu Zhao's mouth make people feel that they are not suitable in their ears.
Before it was over, Yu Zhao continued:
"At present, the son of Concubine Liu, the Four Sages King, is still in Beijing, and the concubines are also present, reasoning, they are the ones who should be filial to Concubine Liu, there is no need for you to come to Yue Yu to replace you, and you and I are the generation, both bearing the name of His Majesty's wife, loyalty, filial piety, and benevolence, all of which rise with him, and the respect of Concubine Liu can only be regarded as respecting the elderly, how can we talk about filial piety!"
Speaking of this, Yu Zhao asked in a sharp tone: "Is it possible, do you want to represent Your Majesty's wishes one by one, and you want to honor her as the empress dowager of the Great Chu Dynasty without authorization?" ”
All the concubines were silent, frightened by Yu Zhao's last bold words, their faces turned pale with fear, and they moved their steps quietly, wanting to stay away from Concubine Liu, for fear that Fang Cai's behavior of scolding her would be defined as a great rebellious crime of violating the holy will without authorization and wearing the queen mother's hat to the mother of the Son of Heaven.
was rendered like that by Yu Zhao, the matter seems to be serious, since the emperor's family has been killing each other for the sake of consolidating power, it has happened in every dynasty and every generation, Chu Ziyang has been guarding himself for many years, in order to gain Chu Zikai's trust, he has tried his best to assist by his side, and has never dared to trespass, so that he can be unharmed to this day.
But if everyone has a heart to do their filial piety to Concubine Liu this time, it is not impossible to give Chu Ziyang the name of a rebel lord of the country, and when the time comes, there will be rumors all over the world, even if Chu Zikai is not mediocre and can distinguish between right and wrong, but in order to calm down the incident, he will definitely take measures, Chu Ziyang, the four wise kings, even if he does not die, he has to shed his skin.
Concerned about her children's family, Concubine Liu is actually a timid and fearful person in her heart, but she has been praised for a long time over the years, and she has let go of her former vigilance, and at this time she was beaten by Yu Zhao to be a little sober, realizing that in front of everyone, she couldn't continue to make this dispute bigger, and began to become cautious, the wrinkles on her forehead deepened, and her eyes fluttered and said slowly:
"It's not as serious as Concubine Yi said, it's just ......"
Improper refutation, not only can not avoid disasters, I am afraid that it will cause trouble immediately, Concubine Liu was cautious, and quickly thought of the appropriate words to assemble the words in her mind, but it was like being stuck in her throat, for a long time, she couldn't say why, but Yu Zhao kindly helped her answer the words later:
"It's just that you enjoy the pleasure of standing on a high place and being flattered and flattered, and this idler always likes to find opportunities to show off and find performance, so you can just borrow you to show your benevolence and filial piety to others, so that you can have a good reputation of virtue, etiquette and filial piety, and listen to others praise to bless your face!"
After a turn of words, Yu Zhao finally told the reason for today's power:
"Since both sides are acting, how do you like to act, this palace actually can't control it, but I don't have the energy to accompany you to sing the playbook, don't interfere with each other to make the eyes and ears of the palace cleaner, that's it, but today is the concubine Niangniang who has to use this hypocritical image to find the palace, so don't blame the palace for tearing your face, the gift of respecting the old man that should have been given to you is reluctant to give it."
It's too real, Yu Zhao's straightforward words in a calm tone, the vanity that is common in human nature, were exposed at a glance, and successfully stirred up a thousand waves in the hearts of everyone, and also put a brake on the majesty of Concubine Liu and the concubines behind her, so that she was embarrassed and convinced, and she no longer had the courage to argue with her about what was right or wrong.
Winning a big victory, dealing with this kind of trouble, Yu Zhao was already very disgusted, and she was a person who couldn't show a little patience, so she didn't want to bother to leave them with mercy, and after getting straight to the point, she debunked the hypocritical face of everyone in the palace in the name of filial piety and Concubine Liu, and recalled that she had to take care of the right thing.
Zhang Shurong, who had just said the words of '100 virtues and filial piety first', saw that she couldn't make Yu Zhao calculate to one or two, but let her take advantage of these words to turn over and grab the upper hand, afraid that she would be hated and retaliated, and had already slipped to the back of the crowd to hide, but Yu Zhao came here today, only glanced at her, and then kept the matter in mind, and did not let her go, so he didn't raise his head and asked directly:
"Zhang Shurong, it was because the palace was weak and sick since childhood, so after entering the palace with His Majesty, I was afraid that while serving His Majesty, I would be distracted to take care of the trivial affairs of the harem, and I would feel powerless, so I never handed over all kinds of inner palace affairs with you, but I know that the affairs of this harem are cumbersome, and it was really hard for you in the past, and it is easy to see you free today, and I want to ask you."
What should come will always come, and there is no way to hide, Zhang Shurong bit her lip for a moment of annoyance at her impulsiveness, appeared, and slowly stepped forward. "The concubine is here."
Yu Zhao heard her big words, then looked up at her, and asked directly:
"On weekdays, you do a good job of the six palaces, the palace feels very good, but today you notice that you seem to be filial piety to the wrong person, so you can't help worrying, the palace is not embarrassed for you, since you talked about filial piety, at this time and the palace to talk about, tomorrow's New Year's Day, enshrined in the Ming Hui Empress and Gong'an Empress Dowager in front of the incense oil lamp candles, according to their current age, the number should be geometric?"
Empress Minghui and Empress Dowager Gong'an are the nicknames of Chu Zikai's mother-in-law, Empress Qi, and her biological mother, Concubine Lin Shu, these two people are the serious mother-in-law who should be filial to the concubines, but Zhang Shurong, who still loves to chew her tongue and put benevolence, righteousness and filial piety on her lips, at the critical moment, the clever little mouth can't answer the question.
Answering indiscriminately is even greater than not knowing the sin, Zhang Shurong knew that he was derelict in his duties, and he didn't know that the answer was very empty in his heart, and his legs were weak by Yu Zhao's straight eyes, so he had to bend his knees and kneel down slowly, and he swallowed out a sentence:
"Such ...... Such matters...... Concubines have always been handed over to the palace people......"
The clumsy rhetoric that didn't need to be debunked, Yu Zhao immediately asked:
"So you have full authority to take the responsibility of the six palaces, enjoy the double support of ordinary concubines, and have never had the heart to ask a word about such an important festival tomorrow, even if the palace people are lazy and lazy, or they are greedy and cut corners for the worship of the ancestors, but you have never had a clear number in your heart, so you have to let them successfully deceive and finally end up, so you can only let the two emperors and queens in the spirit of heaven suffer this grievance silently, this is your filial piety to the two of her?"
