Chapter 174: Second Marriage Proposal (2)
Zhixin saw her mother coming in person and knew what was going on, and the kind and natural words of the past were all gone: "If my mother comes for her daughter's marriage, let's avoid opening her mouth as soon as possible." β
With the expected attitude, Old Madam Shi was not angry. She sat down on the couch slowly, still smiling: "Daughter, although you are not my own child, you say with your conscience, how do I treat you?" β
"Although my daughter doesn't know the height of the sky, but she has been in Shifu for many years, compared to many other sisters, don't you know how good my mother is to me? It's not biological, it's better than biological. Zhixin bowed her head and replied.
"Since you know that it is better than your own child, how can there be a mother who does not think about her daughter? The marriage of children has always been decided by the parents, and I didn't force you before, because I didn't want to be wronged by you. Now at a critical juncture, I have to make this decision, you have to marry the Shi family! β
"It's impossible!" Zhixin's attitude became more and more resolute.
"Not married? Hmph - then you're going to be someone else's concubine? β
Zhixin was shocked: "What did the mother say, the daughter is still unwilling to be a wife, how can she be a concubine?" β
"If you don't want to be a concubine, you can promise your mother, and hurry up to the Shi family."
"I also asked the mother to make her words clearer, so impatiently, it really made her daughter confused."
"Alas!" Shi Mu sighed and said, "Your brother wants to give you to Sima Wei, the king of Chu, who has the most dealings with Empress Jia!" But that King of Chu already has a wife, isn't he a concubine? The only way out for you now is to marry into the Shi family as soon as possible. Although the Shi family is not the Sima royal family, they have a lot of wealth. The son of the Shi family is still a suave Peugeot figure, and the most important thing is that he has not yet married a wife. β
Is it true that women have to resign themselves to fate? Or is it that as a poor family, he has never been able to get rid of the tricks of fate? Why is it that I can't make any decisions at all, even though it's my own life's work? I can't be with Brother Yan in this life, and I can't just ask for the rest of my life? Is that Shi Gongzi still Shi De when he was a child? Does he know that I'm the poor girl he mocked? Of course I don't like him, but who knows what other son will be better than him?
- But, what is all this compared to the life and death agreement between me and Brother Yan? As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I must not compromise.
But what strength does she have to fight? Old Madam Shi has already agreed to the Shi family and is going to start preparing the dowry. Looking at this meaning, as long as my father comes back from Jingzhou, he will definitely get married immediately.
If this development continues, with Zhixin's chastity and fierce nature, there seem to be only two consequences, either compromise or martyrdom. However, the sudden political turmoil in the DPRK and China brought a new turn for Zhixin.
Yang Jun was authoritarian and arrogant, which caused dissatisfaction among many people in the DPRK and China. These people are not high-status, and of course they can't afford to make any waves, but they know that they are looking for a strong backer, that is, Jia Nanfeng, the opponent of the Yang family.
To say that the grievances between the Jia family and the Yang family were formed very early, but they became more acute after Yang Jun's dictatorship.
Jia Nanfeng lived in the East Palace with the crown prince Sima Zhen back then, and her husband, as the prince, naturally had a lot of concubines around her. Although he knew that he was ugly, he was very jealous and fierce, and he did not allow his husband to touch these concubines. However, Sima Zhen is the prince after all, and this convenience is still there. On one occasion, a concubine became pregnant. Jia Nanfeng was very annoyed when he learned about this. There are many women in the palace who are intriguing for favor, but they are generally just playing some tricks in secret, and let others carry out the specific operations. But this Jia Nanfeng is not, he is not worried about being ruthless, his hands are more ruthless than his heart. She found the pregnant concubine, directly picked up the halberd, poked at its bulging pregnant belly, and the fetus flowed out with the drawn halberd, and the poor concubine also died at the same time.
When Emperor Wu learned about this, he was furious and was about to abolish Jia Nanfeng, the crown princess. Thanks to Queen Yang Zhi's intercession, she said that jealousy is a woman's nature, and the crown princess is when she is young and vigorous, and it will naturally be better when she is older; Moreover, the crown princess's father, Jia Chongnai, was the founding hero of the Great Jin Dynasty, he had just died, and His Majesty abolished his daughter at this time, wouldn't he have to bear the reputation of being unkind?
After Yang Zhi's difficult persuasion, she finally retained the status of Jia Nanfeng's crown princess. But in private, as the head of the harem in the world, Yang Zhi, the titular mother-in-law, reprimanded this daughter-in-law very harshly several times, but did not say a word about how she tried her best to save her. So much so that Jia Nanfeng didn't know that Yang Zhi was good to her at all, but suspected that it was Yang Zhi's idea that she was almost abolished. Hence envy.
Although there were contradictions in the past, they were only limited to the harem, which can be regarded as a relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and a family affair. But now it has risen to the two camps of life-and-death struggle for power.
Jia Nanfeng has long wanted to get rid of the Yang family, but the Yang family has great power, and he is weak, so he is not an opponent at all. Now that someone has taken the initiative to premeditate, how can they not respond? But these cronies in the court alone can't shake the Yang family at all, and they must have foreign aid, so they formulated a strategy of internal and external cooperation.
Inside the palace, rumors were first spread that Yang Jun had signs of rebellion, and the emperor Sima Zhen also heard about it. It's just to create some atmosphere, and the time is not ripe, so I don't dare to make a big noise.
After that, it's time to turn to foreign help. The choice of foreign aid is very important, and it must be a person who has the strength and hates Yang Jun deeply. The most suitable candidates are, of course, Sima Liang, the king of Runan. Sima Liang was expelled from the Beijing division by Yang Jun because of the struggle for auxiliary power, so he had a grudge with Yang Jun, and of course hated Yang Jun; In terms of strength, Sima Liang is the uncle of the current emperor, Sima Zhao's fourth brother, the oldest and highest in the clan, and has a certain amount of military power in his hands, as long as he is willing to go out, there will be no suspense.
Jia Nanfeng sent someone to secretly contact Sima Liang. But this imperial uncle was not interested in this at all, but thought: Yang Jun is so domineering and ferocious, he is self-defeating, and his arrogance will not last long, and it is not enough to worry at all. Although Sima Liang is old, he is confident that he can survive Yang Jun. Besides, launching a coup d'Γ©tat is always not a good reputation, and there are certain risks, so why bother?
The most important step hit the south wall, and the morale of Jia Nanfeng and his gang was inevitably affected. But they were not discouraged and continued to contact other foreign helpers. After all, there are several kings who are willing to respond, and the most positive is Sima Yan's fifth son and the fifth brother of the current emperor, Sima Wei, the king of Chu. Although Sima Wei is only twenty years old, he is a resolute young man and does everything recklessly. Another assistant is the distant uncle of the current emperor, Ma Xuan of Dong'an Company.
Sima Wei was not only named the king of Chu, but also the general of Zhennan, and he had many men under him. With Sima Wei's support, Jia Nanfeng's waist stiffened suddenly. Without further ado, he immediately ran to the emperor and accused Yang Jun of rebelling. Although Sima Zhen was a little skeptical, how could he fight against his own Yaksha wife, not to mention the oil and vinegar of others. So he wrote the edict to abolish Yang Jun in a daze.
Jia Dang got the edict and immediately led his troops to ambush Yang Jun. Of course, Yang Jun has a lot of cronies, how can he not hear of such a big thing? But he didn't foreshadow the seriousness of the matter at all. As soon as he heard the signs of a mutiny, someone gave him an idea to raise an army to resist in the name of defending the crown prince Sima Shu. He himself has a lot of men and horses, and coupled with the strength of the prince of the East Palace, he can completely resist the enemy. But this Taiguo Zhang, don't look at the usual prestige, but he is timid in terms of sudden events.
Sima Zhen's original intention was to abolish Yang Jun first, but these people went directly to the Yang Mansion and went on a killing spree. Due to Yang Jun's abandonment of resistance, not only was the Yang family directly wiped out the three clans, but also thousands of people from his pro-party were slaughtered. In the end, there was only one person left who didn't dare to make a move, and that was the Queen Mother Yang Zhi. Of course, Jia Nanfeng didn't want to let her go, and suggested that Sima Zhen kill the Queen Mother as well. Yang Zhinai is Sima Zhen's aunt, the titular queen mother. Perhaps because of family affection, Sima Zhen finally did not obey Jia Nanfeng's mercy this time and spared Yang Zhi's life, but the title of Queen Mother was abolished and imprisoned in a royal prison in the northwest corner - Kim Yong Cheng.
Yang Zhi never expected that the ugly woman she had saved would harm herself. Now that the tide is gone, what can we do but wail in pain?
Back then, the ancestors of the Jin family, Sima Yi, Sima Shi, and Sima Zhao all used the blood of political enemies to lay the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty, setting off bloody storms again and again. Sima Yan is different from his bloodthirsty fathers and ancestors, not only because his predecessors have paved the way for him, but also because his temperament is also generous, easy and benevolent, so in the end of Emperor Wu's dynasty, there was no large-scale killing. But it has only been peaceful for more than 20 years, and the bloody storm has been lifted again.
Yang Jun was punished, and those former opponents all raised their eyebrows. There are no auxiliary ministers in the DPRK. At this time, Sima Liang, the emperor who was quietly watching the changes, picked up a big ready-made, was invited to the auxiliary government of the court, and was named Dazai. There was also another patriarch who was also the auxiliary government, that is, the only surviving founding father with a different surname. Sima Wei, the king of Chu, played a decisive role in this operation, and of course he was unwilling to leave the imperial court, and was made a general of Wei. He was proud of his achievements, young and frivolous, and he was the closest blood of the current emperor, so he began to be powerful in the court.
This coup d'Γ©tat shocked the government and the opposition. Zhixin also quickly learned the news. I was forced to leave the palace because of the exclusion of the Yang family, and because I came out of the palace, I was forced to get married. Now that the Yang Party is gone, I quickly find a way to enter the palace, as long as I enter the palace, others will not be able to help me. made up her mind, she immediately sent someone into the palace to find Princess Yongan for help, but she didn't expect Princess Yongan to finish her business earlier.
Princess Yongan knows that Zhixin's age is not too young, although she is reluctant to leave the palace, but after all, the girl's family is the most important thing in her life, how can she delay others? It wasn't until I heard the news that she was forced to marry that I understood Zhixin's inner thoughts. So without waiting for Zhixin to inform, he pleaded with Queen Jia and implored Zhixin to enter the palace to continue to be a harem female doctor. When Jia Nanfeng heard that it was the daughter of his pro-party Shi Chong, why did he disagree? Immediately agreed.
In this way, Zhixin was able to get rid of the compulsion again and started her own female doctor in peace. Like a bird that has escaped the net and flies into the deep forest, no matter what mother, brother, Shi family, or royal family, no one can help her.
Some people died, but not completely......
