"Sister..."
"Mom, I'm sorry for you!"
"After you fell ill, my mother never visited you once..."
"Mom, I dreamed of you last night!"
"My mother dreamed that you were in the hall of Yingmiao! My eldest brother, third brother and second sister are all surrounding you!"
The newly promoted Empress Dowager sobbed and was heartbroken.
She did have reason to be sad.
Princess Chen Guochang has been gentle, virtuous, and abiding by etiquette since she was a child.
After marrying Master Wang, she took the initiative to request that the system of promotion be cancelled, and she could serve her uncle and aunt with the courtesy of a civil bride.
The government and the public praised her, and the Empress Dowager was proud of her daughter throughout her life.
The Empress Dowager Xiang could only hold on to the Empress Dowager's body and kept comforting her: "Please express your condolences and take care of yourself. In this world, the government and the government must rely on your Majesty for support and protection!"
Zhao Xu watched from the side and cried too. He held his grandmother's hand and said, "Great mother, great mother... don't cry anymore... don't cry anymore... Liulang... Liulang won't be able to bear it either."
living!"
The Queen Mother then raised her head and looked at the emperor whose eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't help but hold Zhao Xu in her arms: "Brother Six, my mother's life is so miserable!"
Xu really thought about the emotional point, and her tears kept pouring out.
"Your aunt, Princess Chen, was the most filial person in the past!"
"Every year I come to my mother-in-law and ask her if she is eating well and sleeping well!"
"But she was sick, but she didn't tell her mother-in-law..."
"When I was dying, I asked the queen not to enter the palace and tell my mother-in-law..."
"And your second aunt..."
"When your second aunt got married, they didn't even tell the mother-in-law what kind of character Wang Shen was... so they married her off..."
"Your second aunt was abused by them... When she died, the maids around her dared to humiliate her! Those people didn't tell the mother-in-law... Later, it was Liang Weijian who secretly told the mother-in-law..."
Zhao Xu listened quietly and shed tears.
Heaven has been ruthless since ancient times!
Except for the emperor himself, everything else is a tool and can be sacrificed and used.
Princesses are no exception!
With Renmiao's love for Princess Fukang, she could only watch helplessly as Princess Fukang was driven crazy by her marriage!
Finally, the eldest princess whom Renmiao loved most died of depression in her thirties.
However, when it comes to Zhao Xu's grandfather, it is because he inherited the throne.
Therefore, the three daughters have become tools for marriage and nobles.
Among them, Zhao Xu's second aunt, who is now posthumously named the eldest princess of the Yue Kingdom, has the most tragic fate.
She married Wang Shen, a good friend of Su Shi and Su Zizhan, a top figure in the Song Dynasty painting circle, and the empress of the founding hero who was said to be able to compete with Guo Xi on the same stage.
As we all know, artists have some quirks.
Wang Shen is an outstanding representative among them.
His favorite thing to do is force the princess to play multiplayer games with him.
When the princess refused, she kept scolding her.
Not only that, Wang Shen also took his maids to play with the princess many times during her illness.
Even though the maids humiliated and insulted the princess.
Unfortunately, in terms of etiquette and law, Wang Shen could only be criticized but not punished for doing this.
Moreover, Wang Shen has many friends.
Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, and Guo Xi were all his friends.
Therefore, after the death of the princess, although Zhao Xu's father knew clearly that Wang Shen was destined to be seriously ill, he was unable to do anything about it because of the political dispute between the government and the public.
It wasn't until the Wutai Poetry Case broke out that I finally caught the opportunity!
In fact, even Zhao Xu didn't know whether the Wutai Poetry Case was because Su Shi himself said those nonsense words that made Zhao Xu's father, Lei Lei, furious, or whether it was because Wang Shen tipped off Su Shi and made Zhao Xu His father, the emperor, was able to seize the opportunity and punish Wang Shen severely - while Su Shi was just grabbing the grass and beating the rabbit, and adding to the problem by the way.
In short, through the Wutai Poetry Case, Wang Shen was severely reprimanded and demoted to Junzhou, and last year he was transferred to Yingzhou.
The local officials were still ordered to place them under residential surveillance.
only……
The events of Yuanyou's era were swirling around in Zhao Xu's mind twice.
Zhao Xu shed tears and said in front of the Empress Dowager: "How dare people outside treat the sisters of Emperor Daxing like this!"
"Tai Mu, please tell Liu Lang where is Wang Shen now?"
"Rokuro vented his anger on behalf of his mother-in-law!"
"I must punish him severely!"
Zhao Xu said and clenched his fists.
He naturally knew whose descendant Wang Shen was.
After Taizu General Wang Quanbin, a family of honorable ministers who have retired from the country!
At the beginning, Taizu released his military power over a glass of wine. While freeing the generals from their military power, he also promised to share wealth and honor with them.
Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, although the military ministers were inferior to the civil servants.
But their wealth and status have since been guaranteed by the imperial power!
Emperors of all dynasties would spare no effort to maintain their wealth and status.
reason?
This is the horse bone from Qianjin City, for others to see.
This is telling other senior generals - don't worry, follow me, I will never treat you badly!
The wealth of your descendants is guaranteed!
This is a transaction.
Compromise with wealth and generals, and each gets what he needs.
But Zhao Xu is a child now!
Therefore, he can be willful!
So, Zhao Xu immediately shouted: "Shi Deyi! Shi Deyi! Where did you die?"
"Come in and see me!"
Everyone outside the curtain who entered the house knew it and immediately bowed their heads and said: "Your Majesty, I am here, I am here!"
"Who is Wang Shen?" Zhao Xu asked.
Before Shi De could answer, Zhao Xu said murderously: "Forget it! No matter who Wang Shen is!"
"Go and catch them all and bring them to the front of the palace!"
"How dare you harm my aunt! How dare you make my mother-in-law sad!"
"I'm going to have someone spank him hard ten times...no...twenty times in the palace!"
The Queen Mother was stunned.
Queen Mother Xiang was also stunned.
They looked at the young emperor with a murderous look, but the words they said made people laugh.
It turned out that it was in the heart of this young official.
Spanking someone twenty times is already a very severe punishment!
What a merciful and forgiving king!
The goodness of nature comes from the heart!
Both the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang were overjoyed in their hearts.
However, the young official was still impulsive after all.
Both the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang began to hold Zhao Xu's hand.
"Officials, after all Wang Shen is a general of the country, he still needs to be given the dignity he deserves..." The Queen Mother advised: "There is no need to ask Shi Deyi to arrest him..."
The Gao family of the Empress Dowager was also a family of famous generals who were honorable ministers of the country and retired with the country.
Therefore, even though the Empress Dowager hated Wang Shen in her heart, she had no choice but to hold her nose and plead with him.
Empress Dowager Xiang also advised: "Sixth brother, Emperor Daxing has severely punished Wang Shen and demoted him to a local military state for resettlement!"
Zhao Xu opened his eyes and asked, "Is that so?"
He thought about it seriously and then asked the Queen Mother, "Mother, can we punish you again?"
"One crime will not be punished twice!" Empress Dowager Xiang said with a smile: "Brother Six, you must remember that you are the emperor, and you must be kind and forgiving!"
The empress dowager on the side also turned from sorrow to smile when she heard this. She was quite pleased to see the young emperor looking thoughtful in front of them.
Whether it is Empress Dowager Xiang or Empress Dowager Gao, their positions on this issue are consistent.
The dignity of honorable ministers must be preserved!
Zhao Xu sneered in his heart.
The Empress Dowager cried so sadly in front of him before, but now she looked so hypocritical in Zhao Xu's eyes.
On the surface, Zhao Xu looked obedient and obedient, nodded and said, "Is that so?"
He opened his eyes, looked at the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang, and asked: "Then can I remember this Wang Shen and not give him a promotion or reward in the future?"
"This way, he will definitely be afraid!"
"This way, he will know that he has done something wrong!"
"Is it right?"
So, both the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang laughed: "The officials are right!"
"This is how Sixth Brother should be!"
…
Note: The prince-in-law in the Northern Song Dynasty was called "Fen Hou".
Note 2: Wang Shen is such a scumbag, you can’t imagine it! Shenzong hated him to death, so I have always suspected that Wang Shen’s involvement must have played a big role in why the Wutai Poetry Case became such a mess.
