Chapter Thirty-Seven: If the sky is loved, the sky will be old
It was originally a leisurely colt, but there were many things.
This is not the day I wanted.
"Princess, I don't want to work hard, can you raise me?"
"......" is not the case now.
The princess didn't want to pay attention to the skinless man.
The princess is also busy.
The Four Books and Five Classics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing, dancing, and music are all unfamiliar if they are not learned or practiced. Marrying a wife is not to abandon these hobbies, but the people who watch dance and play games have changed. Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.
The princess never gave up on progress.
Because he has a powerful wife, Shen Sanwen can give up progress. However, as a prophet, he is destined not to be taken lightly.
Accompanying the princess to read, play chess, play the piano, occasionally watch the ball, play games, ride horses and climb mountains, the life is good and comfortable.
Shen Sanwen felt that the princess's juvenile life must be similar to the heart-rending bitter boy who was enrolled in various interest classes in modern times, and cried privately with a prodigy hat, and looked very happy.
But the princess was willing.
The royal education is all elite education, and multiple teachers are responsible for a student, but in this case, it has also taught a lot of fools, which is really puzzling, maybe those concubines and teachers selected by the emperor are not qualified.
The princess's teachers must have been several learned and talented women.
"Princess, have you been practicing this every day since you were a child?"
The princess had just finished playing the piano, and was instructing the slave maid to clean up the piano and throw herself directly into Shen Sanwen's arms, and Shen Sanwen hugged her.
Baby, it's hard.
"Yes, the queen mother said, read history wisely, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, self-cultivation, must not be learned, as a princess, you must not indulge willfulness, do not learn no skills, lose the royal dignity, let people look down on it. It's fun to learn these things for a long time, and it's better than being obsessed with what's in the cup all day long, doing nothing, and being confused. ”
"You are well-read, have you ever read the commandments of women?" Shen Sanwen suddenly wanted to tease her.
"Turn it over. It's just a woman's own writing, and it's not worth reading. Could it be that the concubine hopes that the concubine will abide by the three obedience and four virtues and serve her husband well? The princess looked at him with sincerity in her eyes, and her whole body became much more well-behaved.
This is not a good title, the princess is not a person who will be willing to live under others and serve people well. "No, no, no, it's better to abide by the new three and four virtues for the husband. The princess must follow when traveling, obey the princess's orders, and obey the princess's teasing. The princess likes to remember, the princess is angry to coax, the princess can be praised, and the princess must understand. ”
When the princess saw that he was amused, she did not bother with him. "The colt knows how to talk all day long." That being said, this man's care for himself can be understood by the princess.
The princess never slackened, which also made Shen Sanwen feel a sense of crisis. There has never been a different look at each other for no reason, and there is no favor for no reason. The princess is favored by virtue of her own wisdom and tenacity, so what barrier does she have? Although he has taken some advantage with his incorruptible tongue and unpredictable prophetic ability, he has taken some leads, but if he lets the situation change and drifts with the tide, sooner or later there will be a day when the mountains and rivers are exhausted and the road is at the end of the road.
So it's time for me to make some efforts, albeit reluctantly.
Shen Sanwen carefully analyzed the situation. Now although the princess has a lot of influence, she has no real power, and the emperor has only been around for a year and a half, so she still has to move around and make friends with the ministers in the future.
Shen Sanwen discussed this matter with the princess: "I plan to befriend the nobles of the Wu clan and the powerful people in the future, whether they are loyal ministers or ministers, in this way, they should be invincible." ”
The princess was supportive, "If only the colt would be less upset about this." However, I have never seen a horse learn gossip Zhou Yi, and the stargazing at night is always simply to admire the moon, but it is amazing to be able to calculate the future, calculate the blessings and misfortunes of the world, and predict the future. ”
"Maybe I was born with the ability to know what will happen to the future. I was born in Datang to be able to spend my life with the princess, God gave me this opportunity, I want to do everything to avoid the disadvantages, and protect the princess. Shen San's questions came from the bottom of his heart.
"I already know the horse's intentions, but the world is changeable, the way of heaven is ruthless, and the horse does not need to force everything, and is always sad. I have been rich all my life, and I will definitely be able to protect my horse for a lifetime. "The princess was also very sincere.
Shen San asked: "When the dragon swims in the shallows, the tiger has the day when it falls in Pingyang." Now it is indeed rich, but there is no power in his hands, if someone covets the princess's wealth in the future, I will definitely bear the brunt of it, I will be excluded and suppressed, and even my life is difficult to protect, Luoyang is a wake-up call. ”
The princess changed her position and continued to hold the colt, "And what are you going to do?" ”
Shen San asked: "Wu Sansi, the children of the Wu family, and Wu Chenghei have the closest relationship with the queen mother, and they will be the most favored in the future." I intend to do what he likes, and to befriend him, so that he will not hate each other and fight each other in the future. ”
Princess: "The Wu clan is far away in the state, the mountains are high and the road is far away, it is better to wait for Chinese New Year's Eve, and everyone of the Wu clan will go to Beijing and then make plans." ”
The dictatorship of relatives in previous dynasties was deeply tabooed by the emperor, and when today's son personally experienced the struggle with the eldest grandson Wuji, he really took power, and the heart of jealousy of relatives was heavier. Wu Zetian knew this matter well, and also knew his brother's shallow talent, so he naturally would not stumble in this matter, and at the beginning of becoming the queen, the two brothers and two cousins were sent to the distant stream because of trivial matters, and most of them died on the way, and they did not die well. Gaozong felt that Wu Zetian understood the righteousness, trusted the queen more, and rewarded the Wu clan with many treasures, and the Wu clan became the dignitaries of the state by this grace. The most honorable empress of the martial family is in Chang'an, so every Chinese New Year's Eve, the new generation of military generals rush to Beijing every year to curry favor with the empress, in order to keep their glory and wealth.
Now that the autumn is high and cool, the cold winter is coming, and it is not impossible to wait for a few months.
The princess returned to the palace every few days to ask for peace, and Shen San was accompanied when he asked, and the two entered the palace hand in hand on this day.
Shen Sanwen suddenly discovered that a capable person who had been ignored by himself was also a woman who could turn the clouds and rain.
This time she met Empress Wu, and Empress Wu discussed military affairs with Princess Taiping as usual, but there was one person on her side.
The harem has never been allowed to interfere in discussing the government, so every time the Empress Wu discusses with the princess, she retreats left and right, and this person can be here, so that Shen Sanwen has to take a look.
Shen Sanwen looked at it for a while, this person is the same age as the princess, with a delicate face, a little humble and a little self-satisfied in his demeanor, his eyes are bright, not like the palace people, he is low-eyebrowed, he has his own look, his hands are like soft wattles, and he should also be a person who knows etiquette. There is no humble posture of palace people in the palace, but there is a subtle flamboyant posture, it must not be a person who has been oppressed by the deep palace for a long time, how can this person be by the side of the martial queen?
Shen Sanwen was very curious at the moment, and took advantage of the gap between the two to discuss, and asked, "I don't know who this is?" ”
Princess Taiping replied, "This is a famous talented woman in the palace, Shangguan Wan'er, brilliant in writing, and well-versed in ancient and modern times." ”
"It turned out to be a talented girl." If you are not a talented person, you can't stand on the side of the martial arts.
Shangguan Wan'er, she actually forgot such an important person!
Empress Wu: "What does the horse think of Wan'er's face?" ”
Shen San asked and looked at it a few more times, "He is a smart and blessed person." ”
If this is Wu Zhou's female prime minister, he will be good friends with him. Today's political discussion, the Empress Wu has let Shangguan Wan'er accompany him, and he has the intention to deliberately cultivate, this person has become a big trend, but he has not won the trust of the Empress Wu, and the comparison between the two is also bleak.
Shangguan Wan'er also noticed that this concubine was gentle and elegant in line with the rumors, handsome in appearance, cared for Princess Taiping, and the details of food, clothing, and walking were more careful than the palace people's thoughts, and everything was done with Princess Taiping first, and she didn't care about the outside world at all. Here in the queen, she can also speak, think twice when she speaks, and be calm and serious, but it is not as smug as the outside world says.
Shangguan Wan'er was very curious about this person.
When the two left, they couldn't wait to ask Empress Wu, "This concubine has no real power and has never participated in politics, but he speaks confidently, has many novelties in his suggestions, and has a compassionate heart, what does the queen think of this person?" ”
Wu Zetian laughed and handed her a copy of "Introduction to Criminal Law". "Shen San asked to travel thousands of miles, naturally different from a nerd who reads thousands of books, this book is written by him, you can read it. Di Renjie once said that this person has great talent, and this palace only believed it when he saw this book. It's a pity that this person has no interest in political affairs, evades responsibility everywhere, and only wants to be happy, and the summary of the criminal law is also called what he saw in a dream, and he does not sign his name, so as to refuse the expropriation of the imperial court. As for this person's knowledge, he was born in a second-rate scholar's family, and he has quite an opinion on practice, but he occasionally has a lack of clarity about politics. There is more than enough to learn, but not enough to govern. ”
Shangguan Wan'er didn't say much, what the queen said was that this person was unbearable, but she praised it, and she must be very satisfied with this person, she could see it. This concubine is really lucky, the queen of martial arts clearly said that he is loyal, has no political threat, and is still the husband of the princess. In the future, when there is an opportunity, when you are closer and closer, exchange literature and politics, and be in the deep palace, one more friend will have more hope.
When the two left the palace, Shen Sanwen confessed to Princess Taiping. "That Shangguan Wan'er will be a prime minister in the future."
The princess could only marvel at the horse's ability to foresee the chronology. "Shangguan Wan'er is quite talented in poetry, but she is only a little maid in the inner court, and now she is valued by the queen mother, and she can influence the court in the future, which is also reasonable. There has never been a woman as a prime minister, and the colt can say that he is a prime minister, but he doesn't know how she can do it. ”
Shen Sanwen didn't say much anymore, history always has its own trajectory, and he doesn't know what kind of hurricane his butterfly can bring.
met Shangguan Wan'er, and explained the matter, the princess has a good impression of this person, and when dating, pay attention to one or two, and show kindness, it is an excellent ally. This person is not stupid, and he will naturally be friendly with the princess.
Shangguan Wan'er, with the side of the servant Wuhou, the more she saw, the more respectful she became. This queen has slowly become a role model for Wan'er, not only men can hold the power of the world and determine the life and death of all people, but the person in front of him is also an overlord. So can you also have such a brilliant life? Wan'er suddenly thought of the story her mother told her, the day before her mother gave birth to herself, she dreamed that a giant gave her a weight, and she could weigh the corporal of the world with this object. In the past, Shangguan Wan'er, who only hoped that he could marry a wishful husband in the year of white skin and beauty, suddenly had a desire for power, and if he could be the slaughter of the official and measure the people of the world, he would live up to this life. The seeds of ambition sprout and can no longer be extinguished.
Power is always the indelible desire of this imperial court, and no one can escape, but can only sink more and more, and it is difficult to extricate themselves.
The time was only one month, and Shangguan Wan'er understood the queen's talents better, and figured out the character of the martial queen. The posture of heaven is a word tailored for this queen, calm in the face of things, outstanding intelligence, far better than the emperor. Treat people modestly, but have the courage to kill and decisive, and be able to fight according to reason, unscrupulous means to achieve their own goals, really born emperor, he is far from this queen, there are still many places to learn, I don't know what year and month, I can decide my own fate like the queen, and decide the fate of the people in the world.
On this day, the princess and the horse both came to the palace, which is also the princess's privilege, both with the permission of the emperor and the connivance of the husband.
Princess Taiping has been jealous of the powerful women of the whole world, born with golden branches and jade leaves, the appearance of sinking fish and geese, amazing and brilliant wisdom, the emperor and queen are unparalleled, the husband is obedient, and all the happiness is gathered in a lifetime, as if other women in this world are only for the nobility of this person.
This month, Shangguan Wan'er saw this amorous colt three times, but this person only saw his princess in his eyes. The "Outline of Criminal Law" can be called the best of the ancient and modern legal codes, no one has ever studied it so deeply and systematically, and no one has compiled it in such detail, this person should be the master of criminal law.
Seventeen years old is the best age for a girl, but in the deep palace, there is only an old emperor, who is not as good as a woman, not to mention handsome, and some feelings are very natural.
If it weren't for Shen Sanwen's accompanying the princess every time, I'm afraid he would have been jealous of the emperor.
remembered that in last night's dream, the person opposite shouted at him, and Shangguan Wan'er's head lowered a few points. With the honor that Princess Taiping is receiving today, this person is definitely not something she can touch, and she can't think about it. Shangguan Wan'er carefully controlled her emotions and demeanor, so as not to accidentally be in a different place, she still has lofty ambitions, and it is better to abandon these unrealistic thoughts as soon as possible.
Finally slowly calmed down.
Time passed, day after day passed.
The wax moon has arrived.
In the blink of an eye.
Approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, the Wu clan finally arrived in the capital ahead of schedule.
Shen Sanwen and Wang Bin often get together, expressing their willingness to befriend the martial arts brothers, Wang Bin comprehended, and a series of unexpected encounters, and became familiar with the most elegant Wu Youji in the martial arts.
On this day, Shen Sanwen and Wang Bin drank tea in the teahouse.
Wu Sansi went to the capital to study behind closed doors, Wu Chengsi just listened to music and drank at home, and did not step out of the door, lest he get into trouble. I don't know if I got the instructions of the Empress Wu, or I was worried about the political enemies of the Empress Wu, after all, this aunt has never been soft on her brother, and the two of them are self-aware.
On the contrary, the two teenagers who moved to the outskirts of Beijing for several years, Wu Zetian's cousins, Wu Youji and Wu Youning, because they brought the mother of the down-and-out Empress Wu in the early years, came to Beijing for thousands of miles, which can be regarded as a favor to the Yang family, and in the lively atmosphere of Chinese New Year's Eve, they are more confident and active in various entertainment venues.
In fact, Shen Sanwen was also very curious about Wu Youji.
