After Liu Xinyi asked this sentence, not only Eleven Niang, but the rest of the people also showed great concern, obviously everyone had this question in their hearts, only San Lang was surprised by the question itself - isn't it that the eldest mother knows that the Jingzhao Wang clan has a famous demeanor, and it is a family that values love and righteousness, how can she stand by and watch her daughter-in-law being persecuted and bullied in the future? He was about to question why his uncle was asking about such an obvious matter, but he heard his grandmother say, "If it is only because of a marriage between children and daughters, even if the Lingnuma prince keeps his promise, he will never take advantage of the fortune and disgrace of the family." ”

"Yes, this is also where the son is puzzled, although the Lingnuma Gong is upright, but he also knows that he is forbearance and avoids trouble, and is by no means an impulsive person who wants to be righteous for a moment and disregards his safety, just say that in the Pei Zheng case, although the Lingnuma Gong also participated in the efforts to protect the innocence of the Pei Zheng and the two clans, but after the sage was convicted and punished, how many Pei Gong's protégés knelt down at the imperial gate because they were not satisfied with the holy judgment and knelt down at the imperial gate to ask the saint to retract his fate and make a clear judgment of right and wrong, and he was not afraid of being slandered as an accomplice by the Xie Party, but it could not be reversed after all; Pei Zheng was severely punished by the clan, and how many court officials were disheartened and resigned. However, the Lingnuma Gong was silent about this, probably because he understood that the holy will had been decided and chose to protect himself, and he had never violated the royal decree again because of a moment of righteousness. ”

When Pei Zheng's case occurred, San Lang was only twelve years old, and he didn't know about many of these circumstances, but when he heard his uncle's words at this time, he couldn't help but be shocked: "According to the words of the second uncle, Wang Shiweng is actually greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

Of course, these words caused the father to look at him angrily, the two uncles shook their heads and sighed, and even the eleventh sister's secret gaze was also hateful.

Saburo was getting more and more wrong.

It was Mrs. Wei who relieved his doubts: "San Lang, when your grandfather was defiled, your father and two uncles were not as good as Wang Shiweng, and they didn't even have the opportunity to ask the sage to make a clear decision, and they never resigned afterwards, and I didn't even keep your mother, and now I haven't even entered the palace for the safety of Siniang, if you say it, our family is even more greedy for life and fear of death. ”

San Lang's face was red, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

Mrs. Wei said: "At the beginning, whether you Aya or the two uncles, you did not occupy important positions and had no high quality, and people spoke lightly, and because your grandfather told us first, we all understand the reason for this matter, even if you ask the saint to make a clear decision, it will not have much effect, it is better to maintain neutrality and protect yourself, because once you are suspected of being involved, you will lose your official position and lose your position, and you are afraid that your family will be ruined, and it is impossible to try to redress the grievances of your foreign royal father and family in the future." ”

Seeing that San Lang was even more embarrassed, Mrs. Tai's tone was a little softer: "Although it is contemptible to be greedy for life and afraid of death, however, knowing that it is useless to come forward to send him to death, if he has the courage and no strategy, is he not a fool and a reckless man?" Is there any point in sacrificing one's life like this? ”

Although San Lang was ashamed of his words, he was not convinced by these words, because his grandfather knew that he would offend the Queen Mother, but he was still loyal and upright, and did not hesitate to advise the saint to refuse the Queen Mother's interference. Mrs. Wei also seemed to have insight into San Lang's thoughts, and then said: "Although your foreign royal father is a high-ranking official, he is fair and honest, and he is loyal to the monarch wholeheartedly, regardless of personal safety gains and losses, and your uncle's father's clan, Jingzhao Zheng clan, has produced many heroic sons and nephews, who are not afraid of the horse leather shroud, and sacrifice life and death for the Great Zhou Dynasty to conquer the barbarians. However, the Great Zhou Dynasty does not know how many famous people there are, how many people can compare with Pei Zheng who completely ignore selfish interests? Of course, it cannot be said that those who have self-preservation and selfishness and retreat from the difficulties are all greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

Mrs. Tai sighed: "Although Pei is very young and suspects that the Queen Mother may assassinate him, he has also made some arrangements in advance, such as asking me to defend your aunt and Empress Pei, and tell the Queen Mother about her involvement in politics, but Pei Xiang is still a light enemy in the end, thinking that even if disaster comes, at most three generations of his direct family will suffer, he didn't expect that he would be slandered as treason and rebellion, so that the clan will be punished!" Greed makes people crazy, Pei Xiang underestimated that a woman's ambition would lead to such a heinous crime! If Pei Xiang knew that the Queen Mother was ruthless and vicious, he would not have tied his hands to death, and would have taken even more strict precautions, but unfortunately, it is a pity! ”

In fact, Mrs. Wei had already warned because she knew the Queen Mother better than Pei Xiang, but after all, it was impossible to directly suggest that Pei Xiang take the lead to cut down the Queen Mother...... Mrs. Tai's vigilance was ignored by Pei Xiang, causing irreparable regret.

"For the Wang family, although I believed that Pei Zheng was innocent, it was conclusive that Pan rebelled with Northern Liao to betray the country and seek glory, and the sage was decisive, and of course the ministers would not admit that they were complicit in rebellion and disloyalty." Mrs. Wei got back to the point: "It can be said that in addition to the Pei Zheng clan, the only people who knew the secret back then might be my Jingzhaoliu clan, and perhaps, the Xue family......"

Shi Niang's heart couldn't help jumping when she heard this, but Mrs. Tai didn't elaborate on how the Xue family was: "Lingnuma Gong knew that it was difficult to retreat, and it seemed that he had succumbed to the suppression of Xie and Wei over the years, although he himself was not involved in politics, however, many of the sons and nephews of the Wang family were still officials in the state capital, and in the past three years, they have not been involved in adultery and have their own insistence...... Not to mention that before the Pei Zheng case, the Wang Liu family agreed on this marriage, although Siniang was delayed for her mother's funeral, in the past three years, the Wang family has not expressed a trace of remorse. ”

Liu Jungong was also very grateful at this time: "That's true, if the Wang family has slightly leaked dissatisfaction with Siniang over the years, I will not tolerate Zhen'er being despised by her husband's family in the future, and I would have proposed to terminate the marriage contract earlier." ”

At this time, Eleven Niang really heard her uncle's love for Ah Hao for the first time, and thought that when she was first born, she was simply a soldier, and she was also classified as the primary suspect, and she was a little ashamed - what makes people crazy may not only be greed, but also hatred.

"San Lang, compared to us, the Wang family doesn't even know the hidden story of the Queen Mother's involvement in politics, can she do it to such a point, how can she be greedy for life and afraid of death?" Mrs. Wei asked with a smile.

San Lang was already convinced, and bowed down: "It's the grandson who is ignorant." ”

"If it's just for a children's marriage, it's really not worth risking the safety of the two clans, but behind this incident, it's not so simple." Seeing that her grandson was being taught, Mrs. Wei didn't pay much attention to it, and said to herself: "At first, I decided to tell the truth to the Lingnuma Gong and strive to form an alliance with the Wang family. ”

Eleven Niang understands very well what the risks are that Mrs. Tai said.

If the Wang family is only noble on the surface, but in fact it is indeed greedy for vanity villains, they can take the opportunity to invite the queen mother to favor, not only can they completely get rid of the marriage of Siniang, but they can even take this opportunity to become the queen mother's cronies.

And the Liu family is undoubtedly reduced to a catastrophe, even if it does not follow in the footsteps of Pei Zheng and die, it will not be easy to go anywhere.

Mrs. Tai did take a great risk in order to protect Liu Zhen, but also to plan for the future.

"There are really some coincidences in this matter, if I don't know that Qilang's mother Yuan has other intentions, I won't make up my mind, but Xingzhou has seen Yuan, and I also feel that she is unwilling, but I have never expressed it directly...... Later, Mrs. Shangshu actually came forward to ask for Qilang in person, undoubtedly because she was unwilling to understand the Yuan family's reluctance and was worried that her daughter-in-law would be rude to my Liu family, so she went this way in person, so I can be more sure that Lingnuma Gong is sincerely allowing Siniang to be his granddaughter-in-law, and he is not afraid of being implicated in Pei Zheng's case. ”

Although Aunt Pei died of a "violent illness", but at that time, Pei's married daughters were "violently ill" one after another, how could the world not doubt that there was no other reason? Lingnuma Gong, a person with a deep sense of the city, would not believe that Siniang's mother really died of a sudden illness.

"Based on this, I conclude that Lingnuma Gong should not take Pei Zheng's crime of rebellion seriously, although he is the same as my Liu family, he is temporarily silent for self-protection, but he will not only collude with the traitor for the sake of glory and wealth." Mrs. Tai raised her eyebrows slightly: "There is nothing wrong with self-preservation, and it is not a family that is greedy for life and fear of death and only seeks profits, there is bound to be an untouchable bottom, that is, even if you can't be as loyal and fearless as the Pei Zheng and other clans, you will never regard the loyal martyrs as self-inflicted, and it is even worse than falling into the well to ridicule and trample!" ”

Hearing this, Eleven Niang couldn't help but burst into tears, only to feel the ups and downs of her heart, it turned out that even if the Son of Heaven was decided, it turned out, even if the coffin was closed, there were still people in the world who had bright eyes and bright hearts, and were not deceived by the so-called "conclusive", she really realized that although the Pei Zheng clan was wronged to death, the ancestors and elders have been loyal and virtuous for many years, not useless, not just a joke - the so-called justice is in the hearts of the people, and this is not to deceive me.

"But it's just that because of sympathy for Pei Zheng's suffering, it's not enough for Lingnuma Gong to protect Siniang." Mrs. Tai changed the conversation again, and smiled slightly: "Among them, there is no key to gain and loss. ”
