Chapter 149
Although this topic was brought up by Yin Ji, she was no longer interested in what she had just said.
Left and right are just an exchange of interests, as for what is the content, what does it have to do with her?
But seeing that Yin Changying seemed to be quite interested, Yin Cheng didn't want to spoil his interest, and after thinking for a while, he guessed: "Could it be that King Zhu recognized his identity?" ”
"It's not allowed, but it's not far." Yin Changying replied, "Chu Qi hopes that his biological mother's coffin can be buried in King Zhu's royal tomb. ”
After hearing this, Yin Ji suddenly felt a little sad: "That princess ......"
Her emotion had just started, and she saw Yin Changying smile and said, "Isn't Auntie sympathetic to her?" ”
"Huh?" Yin Ji heard the sound outside the strings, and couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that the rumors are false?" ”
She didn't know much about this aunt and grandmother in this name, and basically heard it from the gossip of the palace people, knowing that the other party was the daughter of Queen Xiang, the sister of the first prince and the concubine of King Wen. When the prince of Zhuguo was hostage in Zhaoguo, King Xiang was in charge and married his only concubine to this prince, who was also her own cousin.
But this seemingly perfect marriage, but with the king abandoning his wife and children, fleeing back to China, the princess ended in depression, and the coffin has stopped in the north palace so far, unable to be buried, as the end.
When the palace people talked about the deceased princess, they were all full of sympathy, and before Yin Ji awakened her power, most of them thought that Yin Ji's fate should be like this.
Including the former king, the arrangement for her before his death, wasn't it also to marry her to a foreign country and use it as a political tool for marriage?
It doesn't matter whether the husband is old or not, whether the marriage is harmonious or not, or even whether she is alive or dead, does not matter. As long as Princess Zhaoguo marries Zheng Guo as the queen, this is enough.
In view of these rumors, a woman's short and sad life of Yin Ji has been roughly pieced together, and she has always been full of sympathy for this princess of Zhaoguo.
But listening to Yin Changying's meaning, it seems that the truth is not so?
"The rumors are not false, they just don't tell the truth." Yin Changying said lightly, "Our aunt and grandmother, since she was a child, she has witnessed Empress Dowager Jing suppressing King Xiang, hanging the curtain and listening to the government, and being majestic, how can she be a weak woman?" She married Queen Zhu, except for the concubines she had carefully screened, other women didn't want to get close to King Zhu at all. ”
It's not jealousy, it's just a struggle for power.
The result of the collapse of etiquette is that although the power of the primogeniture inheritance system is still powerful, if the king is powerful, he can still abolish the elder and the youngest.
This princess of Zhaoguo is very straightforward.
If you want to find another woman, you can, I'll find you as many as you want. But these women can only be surnamed Yin or Zheng, because I must make sure that all your sons recognize me as their mother.
Yin Ji thought about it for a while, but still felt that this was a symptom but not a cure: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and the Empress Dowager Jing was also born as a concubine, and in the end, it was the mother who ascended to the position of the queen mother by virtue of her son." How can she guarantee that the concubine will not rebel? ”
"There's a way." Yin Changying said lightly, "She suppresses and monitors her husband all the time; On the one hand, she kept sending him beauties, ensuring that no matter where he went, the women who served him were her people. When the world saw this, they all called her virtuous. ”
Yin Ji immediately understood, why King Zhu hated his wife to the core.
To put it mildly, this is not treating her husband as a human being at all, but treating him as a breeding tool, and by the way, she also monitors him tightly.
How many men can stand such a wife?
But the onlookers who don't know the truth still want to say that your life is good, because people are virtuous, and she will send you as many beautiful women as you want.
Compared with those women who kill concubines at every turn and rectify the singers, isn't this princess virtuous?
But how many men can stand this?
Think about it from another perspective, if a woman's husband introduces her brother to her every day and makes her a bride every night, the reason is to let her have more children......
Isn't this a slap in the face, scolding "your whole family is a psychopath", and then simply leaving?
Soon, Yin Ji thought: "King Zhu saw through this, and naturally he was very disgusted with the women around him, but he couldn't get rid of it. He didn't dare to cut his wife, but how could the beauties who served him be better? ”
Although Yin Cheng never uses these women's tricks, she can understand it when she listens to them.
"In this way, as long as the princess comes forward to protect them, they will naturally be grateful to the princess."
After finishing speaking, she first sighed, this trick is amazing!
These beauties were originally concubines who married her, and they longed to see their husbands and be favored. If the princess did not give them this opportunity, they would be resentful.
Therefore, the princess "generously" gave them this opportunity.
But these concubines don't know that the relationship between the couple is already very stiff, so bad that anyone sent by his wife, King Zhu feels that it is an eyesore when he sees it, and he will vent his unwillingness and anger on these innocent women.
With his identity, even if he kills a few concubines, no one will care, right?
When the beauties have endured enough hardship, they will naturally ask the princess for shelter.
Because they had all seen what happened to their companions, and knew that if there was no princess, they would not have asked even if they died.
Yin Xiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, feeling a little disgusting.
It's not that she doesn't know that when a person suffers too much and only one person can shelter him, he will agree to any request of the other person in order to seek security.
Over time, this will become a kind of deformed dependence, longing for the other party's approval, not daring to resist the other party, no matter what kind of abuse it is, not daring to leave, and slowly becoming the person's marionette.
It is a very effective, psychological and spiritual means of controlling others.
In this way, Empress Dowager Jing's old example will naturally not be repeated on her granddaughter.
Queen Hui worked hard for a lifetime, but her son King Wu died early, but she made a wedding dress for her sister, and she died with hatred.
Such an example is enough to warn all scheming women and make their control over concubines more severe.
If you are stupid, you will wait for the concubine to be born, and all of them will be brought over and raised.
If you are ruthless, you will go to the mother and keep the child.
The most clever is nothing more than the princess of Zhaoguo, who controls the concubines without a trace, and everyone praises her for being gentle and virtuous, and dignified.
No wonder Chu Chu regarded his mother-in-law as his biological mother, in his heart, the other party was a good person who sheltered their mother and son, and she was also the best woman in the world.
"It's ridiculous that the name of virtue is placed on her."
Yin Cheng knew that her thoughts were not in line with the mainstream of the times, but she still couldn't help but say: "Such a powerful woman, I don't believe she will die of depression." ”
"Naturally not." Yin Changying said lightly, "She was given death by King Xiang." ”
