Chapter 13 Cocooning Yourself

Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. The widow is helpless, and the relatives are beside them; If you help more, the world will follow it. With the world's obedience, attack the relatives of the side, so the gentleman does not fight, the battle will be won.

After Wang Yan came back from Changle Palace, she kept muttering in her heart. This Jingwu eldest princess has never had much contact with her before, but why did she suddenly show her favor? The sudden appearance of a stranger made her not rashly say anything about Queen Zhongshan Xiao, but she faintly felt that Princess Jingwu should also be related to Queen Zhongshan Xiao.

After the three Taoist temples separated, Lu Yan returned to Shizifu by car. Recently, because she is pregnant, she often goes to some Taoist temples to pray for blessings, and everyone in the Shizi Mansion knows it, which is also the reason why Lu Yan can come and go freely. The car entered Yongmen, the little maid got off the car, hurriedly walked east, the carriage turned south, and returned to the prince's mansion along the main road.

Entering the mansion gate, Lu Yan went straight to the study in the backyard. Husband Wang Yu's life is very regular, since the Dragon Boat Festival resigned from other places and returned to Beijing, he often studied at home, and occasionally held some banquets to entertain some famous gentry.

At this time, Wang Yu was reading "Spring and Autumn" in the study, and when he saw Lu Yan coming in, he hurriedly helped her sit down, and scolded with a smile: "Madame is now pregnant with Liujia, but she can't move easily, although I have so many sons, but none of them are grandchildren." I plan to give them a good in-law for the two daughters you gave birth to, but the one in the belly is going to inherit the position of the son. ”

Lu Yan is very happy, she feels very happy. I have been married to my husband for more than ten years, and I only have two daughters, and I was worried that I would be left out in the cold at first, but later I found that my husband had no intention of setting up an heir, so I put my heart in my stomach. This time, Wang Yu said it again, and he felt even more beautiful in his heart.

"The husband has a heart, but the concubine doesn't know. Today I just went to the temple to burn incense, but I didn't expect to meet the eldest princess halfway, the two chatted a few words, she asked me to wait for her in the temple, and she went to the queen mother to say goodbye. The concubine had just entered the temple, but found that the niece of Queen Zhongshan Wei was already waiting in the temple. The concubine realized that it was arranged by the eldest princess. Therefore, it was late to go home. ”

"What is the eldest princess looking for you?"

"The eldest princess said that since His Majesty ascended the throne, Queen Zhongshan Wei has never seen His Majesty again. It is said that mother and son are connected, no, Queen Wei's niece Nan Zhu personally came to Chang'an to find the eldest princess for countermeasures. They all knew that the husband was Ah Weng's favorite son, so they invited me to discuss the matter on the way. What does the husband think about this? ”

Wang Yu thought for a moment and said, "It stands to reason that we shouldn't interfere in this matter. Besides, I'm idle at home now, with no official position and no real power, so I'm afraid I'm powerless. ”

"Husband, the concubine is coarse and well-versed, and she doesn't understand many big truths, but she just thinks that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child has not seen his mother for several years, which is really against human ethics. Besides, the husband is very much relied on by Ah Weng, and he can also say that Ah Weng can be moved. ”

Wang Yu sighed and stroked Lu Yan's hair: "You, it's the overflow of motherhood." Anyway, I'll find time to talk to my father about it. But one person is short-witted, and I have to talk to someone about how to talk to my father. ”

"I've thought of this for you, just now I asked Xiaolan to invite my brother. I think I'll be there in a moment. ”

"Well, my brother-in-law is indeed a little bold, I will invite my master in a while, and Mrs. can let the frightening person prepare a table of wine and feast, and we will talk and eat at the same time."

Lu Yan went out, Wang Yu was pacing around in the study, and at this moment another name came to his mind: Du Wu. Would you like to bring him with you?

When Du Wu received Wang Yu's invitation, it was already evening. After saying a few words to Pipa, the little girl ran back to the room and got an umbrella, and told Du Wu to come back early. Du Wu took the carriage of the Great Sima Mansion to the Shizi's Mansion for a banquet.

When Du Wu arrived, it was just dark, and the people of the Shizi's Mansion were busy lighting the lamps. When Du Wu entered the front hall, he was still a little puzzled, and he didn't know what Wang Yu invited him to do.

When I entered the door, there were already a few people sitting in the hall. Wang Yu sat on the main seat facing south in the north, Wang Yu's master Wu Zhang sat on the east main seat, and his brother-in-law Lu Kuan was on the secondary seat. The main seat on the west side was empty, and the meal was ready, just waiting for Du Wu to take his seat.

After a period of greetings, Wang Yu raised his glass: "I invited the three of you to come here today, because I have something important to discuss." As you all know, when today's son ascended the throne in the first year of the first year, he has never seen Queen Zhongshan Wei, and the relationship between mother and son is the norm of people. The reason is also ashamed, all because of the two queen mothers of the previous dynasty, Ding Fu. Now that His Majesty is approaching the age of tying his hair, the Empress Dowager will definitely return to power to His Majesty, so I would like to ask the two gentlemen to come up with ideas, how to make Your Majesty's dream of family life come true? ”

Wu Zhang twisted his goatee and laughed: "I agree with Shizi's idea. The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, since Emperor Wu, deposed the hundred schools, respected Confucianism, and the prince of heaven and earth can be said to be the spiritual pillar of our Confucian students, and it is normal for His Majesty to want to realize his dreams. But how can you be clever and confused for a while? Your Majesty's family is blocked, the reason is not actually the Queen Mother, but here~" After speaking, he pointed his finger.

Wang Yu is extremely clever, how can he not understand who the master is referring to: "In this case, how can we make him change his mind?" After speaking, he glanced at Du Wu.

Lu Kuan couldn't sit still below: "Shizi, I know that you are talking about Lingzun An Hangong, I heard that An Hangong believes in yin and yang very much. Why don't we give a warning and let An Han Gong have doubts and agree to this? ”

Wang Yu's eyes lit up: "What my brother-in-law said is extremely true. But how to warn better? ”

Lu Kuan stood up: "I've thought about this since the princess sent someone to find me. Since An Hangong likes the theory of yin and yang, why don't we confuse the truth with the fake and splash the door with blood? ”

Du Wu's eyes widened, and it seemed as if a crow was flying in front of him. This is a bullshit idea, not to mention that it doesn't work, and the most important thing is that it is very likely to provoke Wang Mang and have a counterproductive effect.

Thinking of this, Du Wu retorted: "Please forgive me for taking the liberty of being here, this matter is very likely to be inappropriate." Wouldn't it be troublesome if it backfired? ”

Lu Kuan was a little unhappy: "Since Mr. disagrees, there must be a better plan, please give me advice." He bowed.

Du Wu didn't expect that he would be generalized, so he smiled bitterly, and went through the common sense of astronomy and geography in his mind, and found that there was nothing to use. Even if you can calculate the time of a solar or lunar eclipse like Columbus, this kind of time is the most demagogic.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't have a clue, so he said: "I think it's not appropriate to splash dog blood, since An Hangong believes in the theory of yin and yang, wait for me to go back, calculate it carefully, and see if I can make An Hangong change his mind with the help of celestial phenomena." ”

Wang Yu was very happy, he never thought that Du Wu would understand astrology, and the other two were also quite surprised, and the three of them toasted Du Wu together, and the banquet behind became relaxed. How did they know that Du Wu was messing around, since middle school, Du Wu's science was so bad that he couldn't read, where could he deduce any astronomical wonders. Du Wu drank along with it, and scolded his mother in his heart: "I knew it was so troublesome, why did I brag about this kind of in the first place!" ”
