Chapter Eighty-Nine: Plum Blossom Collar

The so-called logotherapy is to guide the client to find meaning for his life activities and interpret life with a positive attitude. How does Logotherapy work? Psychologist Victor Frank recounted such a case:

There was an elderly doctor who came to Frank who was suffering from severe depression. His problem is that his beloved wife has been dead for two years, and he still can't move on from his deep grief. Frank asked him, "Doctor, what would happen to your wife if you died first and your wife had to live?" ”

The doctor said, "Oh, that's terrible for her, she's going to suffer a lot?" ”

Frank said, "Doctor, you see, she was spared this experience, you saved her from suffering, but you have to pay the price, to survive and to mourn her." ”

The doctor didn't speak, walked over and shook Frank's hand, and then calmly left.

Frank helps him discover the meaning of his pain, and his pain is no longer so unbearable.

And Frank himself spent his life searching for and creating meaning for his own life. During World War II, the Germans invaded Vienna, putting the Frank family in jeopardy. Victor Frank, who had already obtained a U.S. passport and could have escaped his fate, stayed in Vienna for the sake of his beloved parents and wife, and was sent to a concentration camp with his whole family. His love and longing for his family kept him alive in the camp, but when he was freed from the camp in 1945, he found that all of his family members had died. Among them, his beloved wife died just before the Nazi surrender.

Frank endured great suffering, but he learned from the pain an optimistic and positive philosophy of life, believing that people can find meaning in life even in the face of irreversible doom. He founded logotherapy and became one of the greatest psychologists of the twentieth century. He remained alive until old age, obtaining a pilot's license at the age of sixty-seven and climbing the Alps at the age of eighty.

Today, Zhang Weizhao uses logotherapy to guide Chen Jianjun to discover the meaning of his childhood suffering.

This year, through contact with Empress Dowager Liu, Chen Youcong and Chen Jianjun, observing them and listening to their stories, Zhang Weizhao found that this was a very interesting family. The people of this family are sensitive and sentimental, and they will fight each other for power, but they will also blame themselves and attack themselves for hurting their family members, although they are often unaware of this. They want to be great political leaders, but on the other hand, they show great artistic talents, and sometimes the two tendencies don't blend well and make them feel divisive.

The struggle for power inevitably involves killing, even between relatives and relatives. And they are deeply tormented and hurt by the betrayal and hurt between these family members. This suffering, in turn, leads to paranoia in behavior, which leads to more harm and suffering. The so-called reincarnation is what it is all about.

From this point of view, Chen Jianjun's suffering is not his personal suffering, but the suffering of the entire family. Because he is very loyal to this family from the bottom of his heart, he is deeply immersed in this cycle of suffering, unable to extricate himself, and even subconsciously wants to continue this cycle.

And the history of their family is a microcosm of the ups and downs of many families in this era, struggling to survive.

As an emperor, if Chen Jianjun can face up to his suffering, seek relief, and become a clear-hearted and energetic leader, he is indeed eliminating calamities, reducing turmoil, and seeking well-being for the world.

That's why Zhang Weizhao said to Chen Jianjun that the pain he endured was to bear karma for the Chen family. His practice is also a practice for the people of the world.

Chen Jianjun couldn't fully see the logic, but his intuition made him willing to believe Zhang Weizhao's words.

And his trust in Zhang Weizhao is also in line with Zhang Weizhao's personal goals. Of course, this is the result that Zhang Weizhao deliberately seeks and strives for. But she didn't use conspiracy to get all this, she used yang conspiracy.

Huaien walked very slowly, as if he intended to let Zhang Weizhao recover his spirits. The breeze swept across his forehead, the setting sun shone obliquely on his face, and Zhang Weizhao's tense heartstrings slowly relaxed.

They went all the way north, and Zhang Weizhao wanted to go to Changle Palace to explain to the Queen Mother first, and then pack up his things and prepare to move.

Zhang Weizhao suddenly realized that he was equivalent to another boss. When she first entered the palace, it was the Queen Mother who summoned her in, and now, her main service object has become the emperor. Does this count as a promotion? Zhang Weizhao smiled self-deprecatingly.

When he walked a long way, Zhang Weizhao opened his mouth and said, "Father-in-law Huaien, I have something I want to ask you. ”

Wynne turned around and said, "Zhaoming Zhenren doesn't have to be polite, please speak." When talking about the words Zhaoming Zhenren, Huaien had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and seemed to think that it was very interesting to call a little girl like Zhang Weizhao a "real person".

Zhang Weizhao heard Huai En call her like this, and he also thought it was very interesting, and then smiled slightly. But when I think about the question I want to ask, my mood can't help but turn to depression again.

"You are the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch, I would like to ask you, can the celebrant have such a set of procedures or rules? If someone abuses violence and puts people to death while in charge of criminal law, can they be prosecuted and convicted through this process, so that the killer can get the punishment he deserves? Zhang Weizhao asked very seriously.

Wynne knew why she asked like this, she was unwilling to die like this, and wanted to seek justice for the person who died in vain. But how can it be that easy? Especially the other party is one of the highest-ranking eunuchs in this palace, and there is also the support of Jin Guifei behind him. He said:

"There are no such rules in the palace."

"What if an innocent person is tortured and dies?"

"Those who will go to the inner torture hall to be punished are either people who have lost their power or are insignificant. Generally, these two kinds of people die when they die, and no one will seriously pursue them. Wynne replied briefly, but with an unabashed truth.

Zhang Weizhao nodded and said, "I understand, thank you father-in-law!" ”

In fact, she also guessed that in the Great Yan Palace, there would not be such a set of error correction procedures to clear the charges of innocent and wronged people and appeal for wrongdoing. But she wanted to be sure.

If she is sure again, she can tell herself more calmly that you can't do justice for a little girl like Pothos through the court and the royal family. Because in their eyes, she is worse than grass mustard. Therefore, Zhang Weizhao can only come by himself. A grim smile hung on the corner of Zhang Weizhao's mouth.

The life of green pothos, in the eyes of Wang Zhi and Jin Guifei, is extremely cheap, but in the eyes of Zhang Weizhao, the weight is very heavy.

When he walked out of the Yuehua Gate and walked to the west side, Huai En slowly stopped, took out a small box from his arms, handed it to Zhang Weizhao, and said, "This is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entrusted me to transfer to you." ”

Zhang Weizhao took the box, and when he opened it, he saw that there was a gold-inlaid jade plum blossom collar inside. Generally, gold inlaid jade is easy to fall into the ordinary, but this collar buckle is both luxurious and elegant, the stamens drawn out of the gold wire are delicate and exquisite, the petals of mutton fat jade are soft and dignified, and the gold buckle as the base is also exquisite and lovely.

Whether it is Chen Youcong or Luluo, they like to give her things with plum blossom marks, and they seem to believe that the stubbornness of her character is like the tenacity of plum blossoms.

The collar buckle, which was worn only by a woman of status in the palace. For example, the queen mother, queen, and concubine can wear it, but low-level concubines such as talented people and servants cannot. Zhang Weizhao has been in the palace for a year and already knows these rules very clearly. Give her a buckle, the meaning is self-explanatory.

The prince probably didn't expect her to be released so soon, so Towyn gave her the collar buckle and told her that whatever happened to her, he would bear it with her. Plum blossoms, in the eyes of the Great Yan people, are a symbol of emotional loyalty.

Zhang Weizhao didn't refuse, she put the box in her arms and said to Huaien: "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

Huai En nodded, and without saying much, the two of them continued to walk in the direction of Changle Palace.

I haven't seen her for a few days, and the Queen Mother is obviously haggard.

Seeing that Zhang Weizhao came back walking on his own with his limbs intact, the Queen Mother actually shed tears. She has been frightened for the past few days, but she is afraid that before she can rescue, Zhang Weizhao has been killed by them. Even if you don't die, what can you do if you are broken or disabled?

Although she has received news from time to time in the past few days, saying that Zhang Weizhao has been locked up behind the Dongnuan Pavilion and has not suffered a major crime, and she has also made people take good care of her secretly, but she is still not at ease when she can't see people.

I don't know when she no longer regards Zhang Weizhao as a subordinate who serves her, but as her own child. Usually I don't think very much, after Zhang Weizhao's accident this time, what she is most worried about is whether the prince will be implicated because of this, but Zhang Weizhao's safety also makes her very worried.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" The Queen Mother wiped her eyes and said, "Since it's okay, you don't have to go out of the palace, right?" Although she had allowed Zhang Weizhao to leave the palace before, but now she felt that it was not safe for Zhang Weizhao to leave the palace, so it was better to stay in Changle Palace honestly. She planned to crown Zhang Weizhao with the title of a female official, and let her be right under her nose to see who dared to touch her while she was not paying attention.

"Empress Dowager Qi," Huai En stepped forward and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty has named Daoist Zhang as a true person of Zhaoming, and entered the West Garden to enjoy the royal worship of the Flying Immortals." His Majesty also said that he would also be diligent in his cultivation in the future and accumulate blessings for the people of Dayan and the society of the country. ”

The Queen Mother didn't think that there would be such a show, and she was stunned for a moment. She looked at Zhang Weizhao, who winked at her.

The Queen Mother said to Huai'en: "The emperor has a heart. His heart will definitely reach the gods and protect my Dayan Society's prosperity and people's abundance. ”
