Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 540
The logic behind Princess Xingnan's objection to the Empress Dowager is actually very simple, that is, although the imperial court in Jiangdong is a small corner, it is a universal empire, and the Han people are Zhengshuo.In order to maintain righteousness, it is impossible to maintain the state of being in the same sect for a long time, and to have an attitude of sharing both rain and dew.

What is righteousness?It is the people who can unite as much as possible in this name.

Although the ancients were not stupid, not everyone was a monster like Zhuge Liang, nor did they have the forward vision of later generations.If you want to judge the general trend, you can only use the clues you see.

After the Sujun Rebellion, the reason why Gyeonggi was able to recover so quickly was because a large number of Wu people went northward and transported Wuzhong's materials to Jiankang.And the reason why these Wu people were uncharacteristically no longer sticking to their native land was that apart from Shen Zhezi’s impetus behind him, it was also because the fact that he was elected son-in-law itself meant that the current situation welcomed the arrival of Wu people.

Don't be alienated by the north and the south, if you work hard, you may not be unable to gain the status that the Shen family has.Even if you don't fight for hegemony, even if it's just Jing Cong, what you get is far better than being in your own country.

Before the first emperor died, he had to marry Princess Xingnan into the family of the Wu people, which in itself was a great effort to win over the Wu people.Even in the history without Shen Zhezi's participation, before his death, he still issued an edict to introduce Wu people into the current situation.Although his reign was short, it laid the foundation for the next hundred years of Guozuo.

The empress dowager wanted to get married to the Zhuge family in Langya, which was turning back the wheel of history, obliterating the efforts made by the late emperor to balance the current situation during his reign, and wanting to return the situation to the beginning of ZTE.This kind of thinking, not to mention that newcomers like the Shen family don't agree, even those in Yuzhou who have already benefited from the separation of power will not be happy to see it.

In history, Yu Liang chose Jingzhao Du’s family, and now Shen Zhezi recommends the Hedong Wei family. In fact, they are all the same way, the main purpose is not to marry the emperor, but to prepare for the Northern Expedition, and tell those in Guanzhong and Hedong that you are welcome to join the Jiangdong University. Come on family!
Although the empress dowager did not have a high level of political awareness, she could feel the real benefits. If she hadn't arranged for the late emperor to make a good relationship with the Shen family, whether she could save her life right now is still uncertain.So when Princess Xingnan mentioned this, she immediately understood and realized that her idea was really wrong.Zhuge's family is already in power in the current situation, so it would be better to choose another family to attract more support.

"If my wife hadn't been quick-witted, Ji Jian would have mistaken me!"

In the past period of time, the empress dowager has been lobbied by Yu Bing quite enthusiastically. This time, she was asking for Shen Zhezi's opinion, in fact, she wanted to see if there were more options for reference, but she was awakened by Princess Xingnan. blind spot.Therefore, she didn't hide it, and directly showed her dissatisfaction with Yu Bing: "I'm a man, and I don't think as much as a woman! It should be scattered for a long time, don't hurt my family!"

When Shen Zhezi heard the empress dowager's sudden change of attitude, he was also very happy. What kind of reputation does your family have to ruin? The reputation after the Su Jun Rebellion is worse than that of the Shen family in the early years.

"Weizhou, I will take the two families you mentioned into consideration. Since the daughter of the Du family is raised in your family's other business, you might as well let your wife come to the garden to see her."

Zhuge's family was not a good choice, so the empress dowager naturally reincarnated and put more emphasis on the two alternatives proposed by Shen Zhezi.Of course, this kind of matter after the emperor's election is too involved, and it is difficult for even the empress dowager to make a decision.But if you can make comprehensive preparations in advance, and the ministers can't come up with strong reasons for objecting, it's not impossible to make a final decision.

Hearing this, the emperor probably understood that the empress mother was talking about his lifelong affairs with his elder sister and brother-in-law. He himself didn't have any specific concept, so he couldn't tell whether it was joy or shyness at the moment, so he just asked cautiously: " Queen Mother, if there is a lady from another family who comes to the garden, can you not arrange to live in the same hall with me? I am afraid that she will snore at night and disturb my rest."

In his own bedroom, there is a milk churn roller for exercising when he has nothing to do, and there are many tools for pretending to be sent by his sister. There are too many secrets, and he is not happy to share them with others.

When the empress dowager heard this childlike words, she was really angry and funny, she just looked at her coldly, the emperor obediently shut up, and secretly gave her eyes to her sister, asking her to think of a way to keep things safe.

Being interrupted by the emperor, the empress dowager stopped continuing the topic, and instead looked at Shen Zhezi and said with a smile: "Wei Zhou is now officially employed as an official, and I have heard a lot about your deeds in Taichung in this Jianping Garden." You are talented and wise, so you must be competent in your job. I am not worried about that. However, when you get along with others, it is inevitable to have disagreements. Sometimes, if you want to be good at others, you will inevitably have to restrain your edge a little bit."

Shen Zhezi was a little embarrassed when he heard the empress dowager's earnest advice, so he could only nod his head.

"You were selected by the first emperor with blue eyes. In the future, the emperor will rule the country, and you will definitely be the help of the humerus. I say this, not to make you fall into the vulgar, but to fear that you will hurt yourself."

The empress dowager really cared about this son-in-law, and continued to say seriously: "Now that you are serving under the Taibao mansion, it is difficult for your wife to hold back any words. Rely on him to govern together. Although I firmly believe in the virtues and talents of a good son-in-law, if you really attract the Taibao's partiality, it is not a good thing for you, and it is difficult for me to cover up. So sometimes, if you can be patient..."

The Empress Dowager persuaded Shen Zhezi not to confront Wang Dao tit-for-tat, but to avoid it if necessary. After hearing this, Princess Xingnan felt extremely unhappy, and suddenly stood up from the table, and said loudly: "Mother, my husband Paradoxical Taibao is not young and arrogant, so there is a reason why he has to do it! Do you know that father, he..."

"Princess be careful!"

Seeing this, Shen Zhezi's expression also changed, and he hurriedly stood up and grabbed Princess Xingnan.

"I have to talk about this matter! Fu Lang is willing to run for my family affairs, but I can't see Fu Lang being wronged!"

Princess Xingnan couldn't calm down at this moment, her expression was a little excited, but not completely out of control, she pointed at the emperor and said, "Aliu, you go out first!"

"Sister, what's wrong with me?"

The emperor was still a little confused when he saw this, why sister suddenly wanted to drive him out.

"go out!"

Princess Xingnan paused to drink, the emperor didn't dare to ask any more questions, shrank his head and ran out of the hall.

Shen Zhezi saw that the princess had to say something, so he sighed and went out.This girl is always depressed, and she really needs some relief.

After Shen Zhezi also left the hall, all the palace people were also expelled from the hall, leaving only the mother and daughter in the hall.

The emperor was wandering between the corridors of the hall, still poking his head and looking inside, seeing that Shen Zhezi had also come out, he went up to stand on tiptoes to hook Shen Zhezi's shoulders, and sighed pretending to be old-fashioned: "Every day with this fierce It's really hard for the lady to be together!" Brother-in-law!"

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he gave him a blank look, thinking that if he hears later that someone has an unruly woman, I really want to introduce it to the empress dowager, so that this kid can experience the fun.

The two sat side by side in the corridor, chatting for a while, and after a while, another palace official came to inform the emperor that it was time for class.After hearing the words, the emperor's face collapsed, and before leaving, he carefully told Shen Zhezi: "Brother-in-law, next time you come to see me, you must remember to bring me some new and interesting things in the capital."

Being heartless has its own advantages. Seeing the emperor with a sad face and following the palace servants to the study room, Shen Zhezi was actually a little envious of the heavy schoolwork.Ever since he came to this world, his emotions and anger have become no longer pure, it is not a kind of heart tired.

After waiting for another half an hour, Shen Zhezi saw Princess Xingnan standing at the entrance of the hall with red eyes from crying and waving to him.Looking at the empress dowager in the hall again, her face was already pale, and she fell down crying after the case.

After strictly ordering the palace people not to approach, Princess Xingnan walked into the palace with Shen Zhezi on her arm, and then sobbed: "The royal family is powerful, although the big enemy is known, but it hinders the stability of the country, so I dare not act rashly. My husband is painstakingly trying to curb the power of the Wang family, now that the empress mother has learned the whole story, do you still blame my husband for making progress?"

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she covered her face with her hands, and she cried loudly, choking with sobs while crying: "How can there be... how can there be such a cruel person in the world? Thieves can't be punished by God, so what is loyalty? Justice He Cun..."

Shen Zhezi stood silently on one side, watching the mother and daughter crying, not knowing how to comfort her.Things in the world are justified. If a foolish ruler harms the country, he may live a long life;Everyone is in this game, no matter the emperor or the common people, they will suffer from the evils of this world.

After a long time, the empress dowager stopped crying, but the strong hatred in her eyes couldn't go away, which showed that she also deeply loved the late emperor to the bottom of her bones.

"Weizhou, Weizhou... you go, go right away, you go to Liyang, and order my second brother to send troops immediately, and let my father-in-law send troops immediately! Go, go to Jiangzhou to capture Wang Shu's dog thief, and I will cut him up and cook him !"

After stopping the crying, the empress dowager grabbed Shen Zhezi's wrist and said in a harsh voice, her teeth were clenched and her body trembled slightly with hatred.

Shen Zhezi just bowed his head in silence when he heard the empress dowager's slightly crazy words.

"What's the matter? You want to disobey... You, you forgot how the late emperor loved your family? Xingnan, go, get a pen, I want to tell the world about Wang's regicide! Hundreds of millions of people in the north and south, we If you don’t believe me, there aren’t one or two who are loyal and brave, who deeply remember your kindness and eat the flesh and blood of rebels!”

Seeing that Shen Zhezi did not respond, the empress dowager turned pale again, turned to look at Princess Xingnan, and said sharply.

Princess Xingnan was also relieved from her grief at this moment. After hearing the words, she put both hands on the empress dowager's shoulders and said, "Queen mother, mother mother, please calm down! If you do that, you will not be able to take revenge, and the whole country will fall, and your life will be even worse." Nothing!"

"Xing Nan, what nonsense are you talking about? The king thief kills the king... the king kills the king!"

The Empress Dowager's tone suddenly became sharp, while Shen Zhezi's face changed, and he rushed out of the palace, seeing that most of the palace people were far away, and only one servant came here in a hurry after hearing this.Although he was not sure whether this person heard it, Shen Zhezi just pulled him into the hall, and took out the sharp knife in his hand. Without waiting for him to struggle, he pressed him against the wall behind the door, and wiped his throat with his sword!

The bloody arrows shot soared into the palace, causing the Empress Dowager's face to shudder suddenly.

Shen Zhezi put away his sharp blade, walked forward on his knees, and said in a deep voice: "Although I am young and hard to fight, I am deeply loyal and loyal. I hate myself and the rebels for a day! In the past, a hundred riders traveled alone, and dared to rush into the camp of thousands of thieves. Bloody battle Qin Wang! There may be people in the Wang family who regard the old honor as the most important thing. Since they have committed a retrograde, they vowed not to live with each other! Only the queen mother should hold back her hatred. The Wang family will be full of families, kill the corpses and abandon the river, and make the king rule!"

After this change, even though the empress dowager still couldn't calm down, her mind went blank, and the corners of her mouth twitched and she couldn't speak.Princess Xingnan sits nearby and gently rubs her belly.

After a long time, the whole body of the Empress Dowager trembled suddenly, and then she slapped her hands on the table, leaned forward to stare at Shen Zhezi, and said in a deep voice: "In the past, the Wang's soldiers were all over Jiangdong. Eliminate the traitors! Now that his family is half-dead, Wei Zhou, you are the loyal and brave leader of Baiqi to save the king. Tell me, when will the time come? Do you want to sit and see the traitors run amok, die of old age, and then come to dissect the coffin? Killing corpses?"

Seeing that the empress dowager finally calmed down, Shen Zhezi finally let go of his worries.Princess Xingnan told the Empress Dowager the cause of the late emperor's death, but the consequences were both good and bad.The downside is that the empress dowager has completely fallen into a state of hysterical madness and is no longer sane.The advantage is that you hate the Wang family for this, and you must get rid of it quickly.

It's just that although the empress dowager calmed down, what she said was really biased.People are really not afraid of being extremely smart, nor of being ignorant, but of being half-knowledgeable and stubborn.

It is true that the Wang family is half dead now, but the problem is that even if it is half dead, a camel is still bigger than a horse.It was true that the late Emperor defeated the Wang Clan during its heyday, but at that time, even though the Wang Clan was at its peak, the grievances it accumulated were also at its peak.At present, every family wants to advance, and only by destroying them can they each have a share.

But now, although there is only one Fangzhen left in the Wang family, they are still the political leaders of Qingxu Qiaomen and an indispensable part of the current situation.Regardless of whether it can be quickly defeated, even if it is cut off, who will fill the gap left by the destruction of its family?

If there is another quarrel over the uneven distribution of spoils, the entire Jiangdong will never have peace.The Wu people may be able to defend the southeast, but they have to face the militias coming from the south at any time!Even if Shen Zhezi can defeat them one by one, he will use the great river as his line from now on. If he wants to cross the river, he must first defeat the poor compatriots who are much more vicious than Jiehu.

Moreover, it is also difficult to guess what Jingzhou Tao Kan's intentions are.Tao Kan himself may be obsessed with loyalty and resent the Wang family, but in that position, he must prioritize the gains and losses of the Jingzhou Army.The more chaotic the center, the heavier the square town, this is an eternal truth.Therefore, it is impossible for Tao Kan to avenge the king's blood regardless of his own life. He will only watch the show and sell it at a high price. It depends on which of the two parties offers the higher price.

"Severe illness and strong medicine will slow down the chronic illness. The king is the king of the world. If you rely solely on Wu Shi, you will plan to the southeast. There is no way to advance and hope. The current plan should be slowed down. A man of loyalty and righteousness, the Taibao was deeply bound in Taichung. Yuzhou's uncle and Dongyang's father each had their own soldiers and horses, and Tao Gong provided strong support from the outside. The thieves will have no way to escape, but drown themselves in the thunder pond!"

After suppressing the rebellion, it was an expedient measure to allow Wang Shu to leave Zhenjiang Prefecture.Once his side has consolidated the results and digested the gains, Wang Shu will definitely be cut off.With the elimination of the last square town of the Wang family, there will be fewer constraints. At that time, the people of Yuzhou will also be eager to make progress, and Shen Zhezi has already planned for many years. No matter inside or outside, he can achieve a situation where he looks north and advances!
Although Shen Zhezi's strategy is both internal and external, and the steps are clear, the empress dowager still feels that it is too slow because she is blinded by hatred.She turned her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Can you select the loyal ones, secretly send them to Jiangzhou with a secret edict, recruit Wang's father and son, and kill them immediately before the army declares their crimes?"

Shen Zhezi also smiled wryly when he heard that the empress dowager had such a big brain hole that she wanted to play with clothes and belts.He is not clear about the political ecology of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but as far as the moment is concerned, playing like this is outrageous.The imperial power belongs to everyone, without everyone’s approval, you just hold a piece of broken paper as the emperor’s life, I’m sorry, as far as Shen Zhezi is concerned, whoever dares to do this in front of him, first cuts off the person, and then kills the imperial edict If the order is burned, there is no need to discuss whether it is true or false.

Besides, getting rid of Wang Shu is not the goal, the goal is to make it impossible for the young Xu Qiaomen headed by the Wang family to regain control of Fangzhen in a short time.If he was killed by lynching like this, even if Wang Dao is controlled in Jiankang, how can he ensure that Langya County, which is close at hand, will not be chaotic?Although the Wang family lives in Jiangdong, there are many private soldiers in Langya County.Even just a few years ago, the simple rioters stormed into Jiankang City.This is playing with fire. If one is not careful, Shen Zhezi himself may be trapped in Jiankang.

"There is no lack of Chen Jia in Wang's township. If the rioters rush to the city, the king will be in danger!"

What Shen Zhezi said was not scaremongering. If the empress dowager dared to kill ministers without authorization, it would make everyone feel insecure and feel insecure.The best way to feel insecure is to eliminate you and directly replace the lineage of Emperor Ming. The sons of Emperor Yuan, such as the King of Donghai, King Wuling, and King Xuancheng, can be used immediately.

The empress dowager had lingering fears about the last time the city was broken. After hearing this, her face changed, and she said in a shy voice: "From this point of view, we can only follow Wei Zhou's plan to slow down. I just thought of facing the king in the future. The traitor wants to do nothing, I really can't do it!"

"This matter is especially important to keep your mouth shut. What you know is limited to the current room, so don't say anything else. The mother is pure and true. You might as well live in the palace for a long time. You rarely see outsiders, especially Yu's uncle. Don't lightly make secret pictures. I promise the country with this body , death is not a pity, if a word is leaked, the king may become a prisoner!"

Shen Zhezi said calmly, although telling the truth can win the unreserved support of the Empress Dowager, but keeping it secret is also a hidden danger.Shen Zhezi wasn't worried about his own safety, he always had armored soldiers at home, and Ban Jian followed him inside the stage, even if heavy troops attacked, Ji and his sons from the old guard would come to rescue him.

But if something unexpected happens, he can't guarantee the safety of the emperor and empress dowager.And if that happens, he can only avoid the emperor and the empress dowager. Once they get together, he is coercing the empress dowager to slander Wang Shu and kill the king.

"Weizhou, I will remember your advice deeply. The late emperor is already in misfortune, and I will never allow the emperor to risk his life again! You just have to tell me an exact date, when will you be able to take action? Maybe I can hold on for a while, but if Forbearance, I would rather die!"

"In the spring of next year, there will be a clear discussion, and there will be a clear conclusion."

Shen Zhezi didn't expect the empress dowager to keep the secret for a long time. He spent all of Wang Bin's expenses, and he was also preparing for it.Although Director Wang has a high reputation, once this kind of regicide is leaked, it is really difficult to discuss countermeasures with people outside the sect.
