Wu Zhongxian Zhou Rendi 21: The empress enters the heavenly prison, the Confucianism breaks the law with literature, and the chivalry breaks the ban with martial arts
21: The empress enters the heavenly prison, the Confucianism breaks the law with literature, and the chivalry breaks the ban with martial arts
"The identity of this prisoner seems to be quite complicated."
Wu Zhongxian looked at the stone gate, his thoughts surging.
Those who violated the Zhou Dynasty's prohibition on martial arts were not executed by Emperor Wu of Zhou.
He must not be an ordinary warrior!
Looking back on the period of the Zhou Dynasty's ban on military force, it is actually impossible to criticize whether Emperor Wu of Zhou was right or not.
Because the reason why Emperor Wu of Zhou implemented the ban on martial arts was to prevent ordinary people from being bullied by warriors.
At that time, martial arts warriors were arrogant and tyrannical, and ordinary people were oppressed miserably.
Moreover, the number of warriors also seriously affected government management.
So Emperor Wu of Zhou was furious and issued a ban on martial arts!
Do you want to practice martial arts?
Can,
Then you must join the imperial court!
Or register it with the court!
In this way, once you commit a crime, the court will directly punish you from the nine tribes according to the list you left!!
During that period, scholars also thought highly of themselves and used Confucianism to disrupt the law.
Originally, Emperor Wu of Zhou wanted to cure them too.
But Sima Chengsi knelt for three days and three nights, guaranteeing it with his life.
Let the readers escape.
Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, while chivalry violates the law with force!
"Confucianism uses articles to disrupt laws and regulations, confuses right and wrong with sophistry, and knights use force to deceive people and violate prohibitions. It is really a chaotic era."
Wu Zhongxian sighed.
It's just that this era has passed.
Emperor Wu of Zhou used severe punishments to put an end to the rebellion.
At this time.
The sound of the cell door chain shaking could be heard.
Another prisoner has been sent?
The supervisor got up and walked out of the cell to check.
When he saw the person coming, the supervisor was startled and quickly knelt down to greet him.
"The Queen!"
The visitor is none other than Queen Lu Suqing, Queen Lu.
"No gift."
Queen Lu nodded lightly, then looked at the supervisor who stood up and asked, "Where is Wu Zhongxian's cell?"
"Eunuch Wu?"
The supervisor was stunned for a moment, then he didn't dare to neglect and quickly led the way.
After turning a few corners and passing several prison cells, we arrived at Wu Zhongxian's luxurious single cell.
At this moment, Wu Zhongxian was having breakfast, served by the palace maid.
When the Queen saw this scene, she frowned.
This Wu Zhongxian!
He’s obviously here to go to jail, but why do you think he’s here to enjoy it instead!?
Queen Lu looked at the wooden bed.
The top is soft and soft.
Even the chair Wu Zhongxian sits on is covered with several layers of mattresses. When you sit on it, it is so soft that your whole body can sink into it!
Other prisoners only had a cold wooden board.
"The Queen!"
Several palace maids who were massaging Wu Zhongxian's back were so frightened when they saw Empress Lu standing outside the prison that they quickly put down their work and knelt down to worship Empress Lu.
The Queen is the queen of one person and the queen of thousands. She is the mother of a woman in the world, so it is natural for her to kneel down and pay homage.
"The Queen."
Wu Zhongxian also stood up, cupped his hands, and bowed slightly to salute.
Salutes reflect status differences.
In the Zhou Dynasty, officials of third rank and above generally did not need to kneel down.
Even for the emperor.
Unless special occasions require kneeling.
There are also some people with special status who do not need to kneel down.
For example, the prince has a special status.
Many princes do not actually have official positions, but as relatives of the emperor, they are naturally exempted from kneeling and worshiping.
There are also some people who hold special positions, or who are pardoned by the emperor and do not need to kneel down.
People like Wu Zhongxian were pardoned by the late emperor and did not need to kneel down.
Of course, if the emperor insists on making you kneel, you still have to kneel.
Even the prince has to kneel down.
The imperial power of the Emperor is always greater than anything else.
When the Superintendent of the Tianluo Prison saw Wu Zhongxian's saluting gesture, his heart moved.
Sure enough, the identity of Eunuch Wu is not simple!
This was the first time he saw a eunuch who didn't need to kneel down.
And after Eunuch Wu was imprisoned.
Your Majesty personally came to see you once, and now the Queen comes to see you again...
During this period, King Zhou Ping also sent someone to inquire about Wu Zhongxian's condition in the prison.
Eunuch Wu’s background is really profound and scary!!
The Prison Supervisor is even more grateful that he has not offended Eunuch Wu!!!
"I must serve Eunuch Wu well during this period. I hope Eunuch Wu will remember me and say a kind word to the emperor for me after he is released from prison."
The supervisor murmured in his heart and decided to serve Wu Zhongxian well.
A prison warden could be so groveling to a eunuch as if he were a bitch.
When word spread, many people's jaws would drop.
"Eunuch Wu, you really know how to enjoy it."
Queen Lu said calmly.
"My Majesty, the guilty minister will be imprisoned and punished. How dare he enjoy it? It's just that His Majesty, because of the years of friendship with the minister, couldn't bear the suffering of the minister, so he gave me some care." Wu Zhongxian directly passed the blame to the minister.
Emperor Ren of Zhou.
I thought that Queen Lu would have nothing to say.
Unexpectedly, she frowned at this time.
"I'm asking you to exempt yourself from the gift?"
"???"
Wu Zhongxian was silenced for an instant.
He understands.
The Queen is here to cause trouble!
"Wu Zhongxian, I see that you are becoming more and more courageous!"
Queen Lu said coldly.
There was a trace of hatred in his cold eyes.
She is here to cause trouble!
This sentence is a double entendre.
Only Wu Zhongxian and her understood this pun.
Because the pun is from a few days ago!
The maids were so frightened by the Queen's aura that they trembled and knelt there, not daring to move.
Because the Queen did not let them off the hook.
The supervisor was so frightened that he knelt down.
I don’t know why the Empress suddenly became angry with Eunuch Wu?
And there seems to be a deep meaning in the words?
The supervisor is also a good person.
From one sentence, I realized that something was wrong with the Empress's attitude towards Wu Zhongxian.
Wu Zhongxian immediately said seriously: "Empress, be careful what you say! Walls have ears!"
"..."
Queen Lu frowned.
How dare this guy use such a tone to himself!
You really don’t take her as a queen seriously!
But when she saw Wu Zhongxian's serious expression, the anger that originally reached her lips stopped.
"Speak carefully, do walls have ears?"
Empress Lu was a talented woman with a well-known reputation in the south of the Yangtze River. She was naturally smart, and she immediately understood the meaning of Wu Zhongxian's words.
Walls have ears...could it be...
Queen Lu calmed down her anger and her expression gradually returned to indifference.
She was so angry that she almost said something she shouldn't have said.
If it is heard by some caring people in the prison, it will reach His Majesty’s ears.
Or it may have spread to the ears of the people that Queen Lu Suqing really has no face to live, let alone face her father and His Majesty.
"The Queen came to Tianlao today for the poem I wrote for you a few nights ago." Wu Zhongxian made an excuse for the Queen to come to Tianlao.
Because he knew very well that there was an informant of Emperor Zhou Ren in the prison.
If the queen came to Tianlao to get angry with Wu Zhongxian for no reason, Emperor Zhou Ren would definitely guess something.
Empress Lu was trembling in her heart, but she did not dare to show anything strange on her face. Following Wu Zhongxian's words, she pretended to be warm and angry and stared at the latter, saying: "Eunuch Wu, three days have passed since you promised me to write a poem for me.
Why haven't you done it yet? If you don't have real talent and learning, then forget it, I will just pretend that you didn't say it!"
Wu Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief.
The Queen is indeed a smart and talented woman.
He can understand his own cues and can pretend to be gentle and angry according to the reason.
In this way, even if someone hears something in the dark, they won't be afraid of being exposed.
