Chapter Forty-Eight: Return to Beijing
Di Renjie and Li Xian analyzed and pointed out again, and Li Xian agreed to it, but I don't know how much he understood.
Shen Sanwen watched the two of them talk more and more energetically, and he was very annoyed by Di Renjie's unprincipled tolerance and generosity. This trip, seeing that it was in vain, Di Renjie was just using himself as a guise to visit King Luling. If he came alone, His Majesty the Martial Emperor would have some doubts, and this Lou Shide's promise seemed to be just a calculation.
In the following time, Shen Sanwen and Di Renjie changed their previous preaching status, and changed Di Renjie to live like a year. Let him hurt himself to stay away from Jingshi for so many days, and if he doesn't listen to what he says, he won't follow.
Shen Sanwen has been talking about how tyrannical the Shang Dynasty was, how the King of Youzhou was mediocre, how ignorant Qin II was, how pitiful Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was, how many incompetent and unscrupulous monarchs there were in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and how miserable the people were. Shen San asked that Di Renjie knew all of them, and he couldn't bear to let the people suffer, but he still couldn't let go of the traditional cognition of the inheritance of his son-in-law, and he tampered with the inheritance system. As a human being and reading the books of the sages, it is natural that we should restrain ourselves and not encourage these unhealthy tendencies.
After talking about these, Shen Sanwen began to tell the story of the abolition of the heirs and sages of various dynasties and generations, and the discussion of disrespecting the ancestors by the way Emperor Gaozong was not established as the emperor, which led to the blood staining of the Xuanwu Gate, and finally the story of Prince Yin building a family except for beautiful women, chickens and dogs are not left. Di Renjie couldn't laugh or cry at his fallacies, he was orthodox, and if he was virtuous, he should assist his brother, instead of violently seizing power. Emperor Gaozong, a famous monarch through the ages, is popular with the people, and is not tolerated by the hidden prince, and the change of Xuanwumen is also helpless.
Shen Sanwen gradually despaired, for people who have no opinions, or have not made up their minds, it is possible to change his mind, but the possibility of trying to change Di Renjie's mind is zero. Di Renjie's concept has been deeply rooted, and Li Xian should inherit the throne, even if Li Xian's talent is insufficient, he will have his own loyal ministers to assist, and the world will not have too much trouble. Even if Li Xian is really not suitable to be the prince, it should be Wudan, and the princess is not qualified to inherit the country.
After some historical discussions, Shen Sanwen was defeated.
As the saying goes, a loud man has a point. The reason can't be explained, you can spell the voice.
Shen Sanwen couldn't bear to roar at Di Renjie, "Your Majesty doesn't have the people of the world in his heart, only you, Lord Di, have it." Your Majesty does not understand his own son, you do. The king of Luling will be assisted by loyal ministers, but the princess cannot have it. You are such an old and stubborn, you have to let the Li family meet each other and see the blood of the royal family flowing, so you are willing to stop. ”
Di Renjie maintained a light smile on his face, which made Shen Sanwen feel a sense of frustration when his fist hit the cotton.
Di Renjie: "Don't worry, don't worry, and listen to the old man slowly." The old man does not argue with you about the unreasonableness of the woman's inheritance, and believes that the Shen family will not have the heart to seize power, but only talk about the princess's ability and the impact on the horse itself.
In the three thousand four hundred years of the world, there has only been one female emperor of His Majesty, and it is rare to have it in the future. The old man and His Majesty are fellow villagers, and when he was young, he learned of His Majesty's deeds, and later when he was in trouble, he was rescued by His Majesty, and the old man thanked His Majesty, and His Majesty also trusted the old man. Things all these years".
Shen Sanwen interrupted him impatiently, "If you want to talk about the lion's skull, the training of Your Majesty's twelve-year harem, the difficulties after the abolition of the king, and the merits of assisting the first emperor, I don't need to do it, I know all of this." ”
Di Renjie: "Okay, the old man will say that His Majesty is a person, and say something that the horse doesn't know." In order to practice good calligraphy and please Taizong, His Majesty practiced every day from early morning to evening; In order to surpass Xu Hui's talents, he was familiar with the history of the Ten Dynasties, read through the scriptures and meanings of each family, and strive to be thorough; In order to give birth to the prince smoothly, he made a commotion in the harem and lowered his voice to satisfy the palaces; Later, she became a queen, and the harem was like an iron wall, and it also depended on His Majesty's conscientiousness and grace. The first emperor was weak, and during His Majesty's political career, he caused two major disasters, one time he fell into the treacherous scheme of Tibet to make the two countries go to war, and the second time he misused traitorous ministers to delay the relief of 40,000 people to starve to death in the wilderness. The first emperor was furious, and His Majesty was excluded from the government twice. Now His Majesty is indeed a saint, but behind this sainthood, it is forged by the blood and sweat of hundreds of people, and it is won by countless attempts and efforts.
But what about the princess? The princess has no political experience. Only the first prince Li Hong received imperial education, he learned to deal with political affairs since he was a child, pity the people's livelihood, distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and the princess learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and women's virtues. King Luling has been naughty since childhood, and King Yin prefers calligraphy, neither of which is a talent for governing the world. Although the princess is stronger than the two kings, she is far from His Majesty. Hundreds of officials can trust Your Majesty, obey Your Majesty as the king, one is helpless, Li, since childhood grew up in Beijing, only two princes left, even if Your Majesty is not the emperor, but also the Queen Mother, the two princes are filial, against Your Majesty will inevitably be hated by the emperor in the future, the second is that Your Majesty is talented, and there is a wisdom of using people, now the court is full of talents, the people live and work in peace and contentment, this is a few years of common witness of hundreds of officials, many people are sincere respect for Your Majesty.
As for the princess, how well does the princess govern? What can be seen by persuading farmers to engage in business alone? Even if hundreds of officials can temporarily support the princess for temporary interests, how many people are sincere? The court is still His Majesty's court, there is no place for the princess, and you also know that once the crown prince is established, the princess has no chance of winning. If the princess is appointed as the crown prince, there will still be many people who support the two princes, and even the Wu family cannot give up, and the Wu family holds the military power in the suburbs of Beijing, which cannot be underestimated.
Moreover, His Majesty has plans to flood the harem with beautiful men, and the princess looks like her mother, if you think like this in the future, what can you do? The princess is so young, she must be able to monopolize power for many years, you should know that the emperor is high, her thoughts are different from everyone else, she is as beautiful as a flower, and the people around her will no longer be as scrupulous as today. Now when the two of you are still in love, people will change, the days are as plain as water, if there is a change, in the end, the bamboo basket is empty. ”
Shen San asked not knowing how long he had been preparing for this statement, but there was indeed some truth in it. Investigate his concept, refuse to support the princess or the difference between men and women, worry that he is only because of the emperor's harem system, it is really ridiculous, if the relationship is so fragile, how can he talk about loyalty to the king. I have been in this other world for so long, and I can't understand this kind of thinking at all.
Shen Sanwen only wants to analyze with him now, and wants to be a more suitable heir than Li Xian, Wu Dan.
"Lord Di, the princess's ability to handle political affairs is far above the two of them, even if she can't compare to Your Majesty for a while, there are still many years of progress. It's better for a literate person to finish a book than an illiterate person to finish it, right?
Neither of us can convince anyone, so there is no need to say more, and I will return to Jingshi.
However, I also hope that Lord Di can think clearly about who is more suitable between King Luling and King Yin. Although Wudan is absurd, he is a gentleman who can appoint virtuous ministers and distinguish between right and wrong. You have also seen the performance of King Luling today, for six years, he can't figure out who is right and wrong, if you support such a person as the emperor, you are disloyal to the first emperor, and you are a sinner who sees the decadence of the country, and you are sorry for the people of the world. ”
After speaking, Shen San left with his entourage without looking back, delaying long enough, wasting a lot of saliva, in exchange for his doubts about the princess's ability to govern, and slander, this trip is really terrible.
Shen Sanwen hurried back to the capital division, got out of the medicine jar, and the slow carriage, rode on a tall horse, shuttled through the green woods, and raised a puff of dust.
The night was cold, the group stopped to rest, saw the moon and thought about people, Shen San asked some curious about what the princess had done today.
Five days later, when he arrived in Beijing, Shen Sanwen returned home as soon as possible.
The short parting is for a better reunion, so that people can see themselves clearly and understand their feelings better.
The princess had already ordered someone to prepare food and drinks for him.
Didn't ask about the "results" of the trip, because there was no suspense.
The princess prepared all Shen Sanwen's favorite food, spicy meat, sour eel, green and tender vegetables, and light egg soup. Soon there was enough wine and food, and a maidservant girl sent mouthwash, and such a meticulous life was unprecedented.
In the past, it was difficult for Shen Sanwen to remember what his friends around him liked and disliked, but since he met the princess, it seems to have become an instinct, remembering what she likes and hates, and knows what she wants and dislikes. Love teaches a person to mature, two people to come together, and the most important thing is true understanding.
Shen San asked if he was the only one who was concerned, "Princess, how many other people's food hobbies do you know." ”
Princess: "I know my father's, my mother's, my brother's, and some of the court's officials, and the banquets in the palace, how much can I know, what do you want to know?" ”
Shen San asked: "I only know what I like to eat, and I only remember what the princess likes to eat, you don't need to care about this, right?" ”
Princess: "Get used to it. ”
Shen San asked for silence, "This is what His Majesty requested?" ”
The princess looked at his solemnity and comforted, "The mother queen is for my good." ”
Shen San asked: "You three brothers and sisters are filial. King Luling is now envious of the two of you being able to eat and drink, and he is also annoyed by what His Majesty has done, but he does not have much resentment towards His Majesty, but he is a little jealous of the two of you. King Yin understood His Majesty's thoughts, and even if he was ridiculed by the world, he was willing to take the initiative to abdicate. ”
Princess: "What's wrong with the royal brother?" ”
Shen San asked, "You are unfair to me. You know the conspiracy of Di Renjie and Lou Shide, and you just think that I will go, Di Renjie can go with you with peace of mind, so that your imperial brother knows that many people have not forgotten him. You remember the imperial brother, but you coaxed me to persuade Di Renjie. ”
The princess chuckled, "You have to go on your own, don't blame me." ”
Shen San asked, "Let's go, let's go for a walk and consume food." ”
Worried that the road was slippery and there was an injury, Shen Sanwen carefully protected her and the baby in her belly, while reporting to her about the trip. "The royal brother is not doing well, his clothes are a little shabby, and he has a little gray hair on his forehead, I heard that he often has nightmares, he can't sleep well, and he doesn't eat well. He is still bent on defending Merriam-Webster, and His Majesty must be dissatisfied. ”
The princess's expression was a little sad, "The royal brother has always disliked the intrigue in the palace, but now it has changed. ”
Shen San asked: "His current situation may not be a good thing, at least Wei is no longer the same as before, dedicated to the benefit of the Wei family." The two of them are very close to each other, and it is good that the two of them can be together, support each other, and really think about each other. ”
Princess: "It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes, I hope that the royal brother can live well, rather than suffering like now." ”
Shen San asked: "If he can return to Beijing one day, this period of time is probably the most memorable and cherished for him." At last, he added, "If one day I were to be separated from the princess, I would rather have nothing at all." ”
The princess declared her sovereignty domineeringly, "There will never be a day when I don't want to be separated from the colt, and no one can force it." ”
Di Renjie's words suddenly appeared in Shen Sanwen's heart, making him feel a trace of pain in his heart, and those online passages he had read appeared in his mind, on the way to chasing power, many people forgot their original intentions, leaving only numb struggles and endless desires.
"Does the princess love me? If one day, the imperial power and I can only choose one, what do you choose. ”
The princess smiled, "I will probably make the same choice as the imperial brother." ”
Hahahaha.
Shen Sanwen's heart was overjoyed, "Sure enough, it's a family, half a catty, since you understand him, you should know that he is truly happy now, but he doesn't know it." If Li Bao'er can live well, he may not be willing to return to Luoyang. ”
Princess: "It's not good for the royal brother to suffer. Merriam-Webster, who is also nowhere near as a colt, always puts me first. "The people around her have always been carefully cared for and cautious, how she doesn't know. He was frightened and uneasy that time, not for himself?
Shen Sanwen thought about it, in the princess's heart, family should still be much more important than herself? In the end, there is no need to ask this kind of question, it must be divided into front and back, up and down, but it is not pleasant for the two of them.
This way of teasing and playing, very relaxed. It's just that the princess got tired quickly, and after a while, the two returned to the study.
Looking at the thick ancient books on both sides, there is an atmosphere of discussing serious matters.
Shen San asked: "Di Renjie doubts your ability, I told him, let him support Wudan, and don't support King Luling." ”
Each is powerful, and the princess naturally thinks clearly. There are still only a few people in the court who support Wudan, and the difficulty of making him the crown prince is far from comparable to that of the King of Luling in Xianyun Yehe. Wu Dan chose Xue Shao as Li Longji's master, but he did not have any scruples about coming to Junchen's face, and he had a holiday with Xue Huaiyi, so he must have received a lot of criticism in front of the mother emperor. The Wu family was promoted by Emperor Wu in order to consolidate the imperial power, and the Wu family in the court regarded him as the culprit who hindered the continuation of the Wu family's century-old foundation.
