Chapter 141: Pros and cons of the family, the murderer begins to appear (1)
Li Wei couldn't figure out whether his father really didn't know their origin or whether they were fake.
This answer is very important, but it is not good. From then on, the two girls can't think of entering the East Palace for a while. After thinking for a while, they said, "Father, they are Di Renjie's adopted daughters. Although they are adopted daughters, they are very filial to Di Renjie. And their morals and talents are all the best choices."
"I have heard of this. Among the few little ladies you know, they are the best. I will only ask you, where do they come from?"
It would be easy to say that they behave well. Li Wei continued: "They were Xiangxue and Hualiu who hid in the palace in order to escape Helan Minzhi's frame-up. Later, Li Shan wrote a letter and his father blamed him. The sons did not dare to leave them in the East Palace. But they could be released at that time. Helan Minzhi was already crazy and would definitely attack them, and they could not bear it. So they asked Di Renjie to quietly bring them to Bingzhou, redeem their clerical books, and accept them as adopted daughters."
“Just that’s it?”
Li Wei sighed, no longer, no need to hide it. He probably already knew about his father's tone. He opened the skylight and said, "It's not only that. These two girls are very smart. Although they are in a cold state, they are hardworking and diligent, but they have some talent. And they are of good character. Di Renjie had the idea of cherishing them and mistakenly thought that the son minister put them in the East Palace because they had other thoughts. The son minister explained, but did not explain clearly. Di Renjie said instead that it is better to have more wives and concubines, and have more children and more blessings. Although there are more children and more troubles in the future, it is better than the first lord Liu Chan."
"This Di Renjie is not law-abiding, but this advice is a good advice."
Of course, just like you, I killed Li Zhong and me, maybe I would kill that day, and the second, third and fourth. This slander is probably a bit too much. Li Zhi won’t kill him, and sometimes it will be hindered. However, his mother Wu Zetian couldn’t handle it well, and it might be more "hard" in his wrists.
He didn't dare to say it, and continued, "After Di Renjie misunderstood, he brought it back to Bingzhou. They didn't need to question their talents and character. However, Di Renjie's teaching was stricter, and the two women were quiet, so he had no complaints. Later, his father moved Di Renjie to the Minister of Dali Temple. After all, the two women were older and looked good. They were afraid that they would cause any misunderstandings in Taiyuan, so he wrote a letter to ask them to come to the capital."
"I also knitted a brocade dress for you?"
"Father, how did you know?" He asked in surprise, but he slandered again in his heart. Could it be that the Tang Dynasty now had the Jinyiwei? He said: "They had no indecent thoughts. There were two brocade robes, one for their adoptive father, and the other for their sons, most of which were grateful."
"These are two good women."
“It should be pretty good.”
"Empress," Li Zhi ignored him and said to Wu Zetian: "What kind of good family can match in the capital?"
When Li Wei heard this, he fainted and immediately said, "Father, never."
"Why not? Are you not satisfied with finding a good family to marry under their identities?"
"No, because Di Renjie misunderstood, they also thought that the son ministers fell in love with them and sweared to follow them to death. They were also very fierce. If they learned that their father betrothed them to others, they might be loyal to death." They said with courage. After all, the mother was listening and speaking out, which might give her an impression that both pink heads could be chaste, but she couldn't do it.
Sure enough, Wu Zetian was annoyed when she heard this and said, "I don't believe it anymore. Two prostitutes dare to think about climbing the dragon and supporting the phoenix! They actually climbed to the Tian family!"
"My mother, please calm down and listen to my son's words. What is my bloodline? The ancestors came from Zhuanxu," this is mostly unverified. I am also the ancestors of the Li family, so I will not trust them. Therefore, I will skip it and not say: "Since Emperor Taizu Jing (Li Hu), all the ancestors and emperors, and the order of succession, all came from famous families, but how did the aristocratic families treat my family?"
Wu Zetian snorted coldly.
The Li family's bloodline can be produced, but her family's bloodline can hardly be produced.
"The family members of all aristocratic families regard themselves as high as they are despised and despised the court. The father issued an order to prevent the five families from marrying each other, but they still marry privately. When outsiders marry, whether they marry or marry, they will have to ask for a lot of money, sometimes as many as millions of dollars. Besides, these families control the fertile land, industries, and manors, and with the peaceful and prosperous times, they will grow bigger like snowballs. However, the population increases, the more difficult the fields are. But the court, although the ministers did not say anything, they all considered marrying the five families and seven families. Although the father issued an order, they might be ashamed of their families. Father, this is true!"
"Why isn't this? Tell me," Li Zhi was not angry. Indeed, sometimes I felt very dissatisfied when I saw the style of the five surnames and seven families.
"The family originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although there were many heroes, there were also many family tutors. But behind these heroes was countless manpower and material resources. Apart from these romantic figures, my sons read the history books and saw that all the family members ignored the survival of the court, avoided taxes and food during harvests, and bought land at a low price during disasters. As a result, the people of the world were displaced and the country had no tax to collect. Zhang Jiao thief rose up and the Han Dynasty immediately collapsed. However, from the Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it became more and more intense. The Sui and Tang Dynasties replaced them, and some family members did not escape, and they died or gradually declined, but most of the family members still existed, the scene of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The elephant begins again. When the son minister was in Guanzhong, he saw many wealthy families hoarding goods, or buying Yongye land despite the repeated intentions of the court. Of course, it is not all aristocratic, but common landlords are doing it. However, the son minister was wondering whether despising the court is unfaithful? Is it unrighteous to marry heavily? Is it unkind to hoard goods and buy land at a low price? Is it unkind to care about the rise and fall of the country, but it is a good thing for them to be honest? Is it unwise? Is it unwise? Is it a place where the world is famous, but I have changed my appearance and do many things that are hidden and dirty. Do you not believe it? What do you admire such unfaithful, righteous, benevolent, wise, and unbeliever, what do you think of?"
This attack became a bit popular. The existence of the clan is a bad tumor and is not useless. For example, the ethics of the clans or the talents produced, these talents contributed to the Tang Dynasty... But in order to convince them, they had to step on them in the mud, and their parents did not have a good impression of these clans.
"Well said," Li Zhi was very pleased, but said to the eunuch next to him: "The prince's remarks must not be spread out."
This can only be said in private to relieve the boredom. After all, the five surnames and seven families are the ones that the world looks up to. If it spreads, it will cause a huge uproar. In fact, not only is it helpless at this time, but later generations are also helpless. Some countries still have similar aristocratic families. Those democratic people know that they are unfair to society, but they vote, but they like to vote for them to win, which aggravates this injustice...
Li Wei said again: "Besides, Liu Bang was a scoundrel official in the past, but the hero did not ask where the source was. Can you judge Emperor Gaozu of Han by his family? The King of Chu is so thin, and there are many hungry women in the world. The family is despised, and it is a good thing for the country and the people. If you want to despise them, you will inevitably make noise in the world. There is only one thing, starting from the royal family itself. When the royal family sees them, they feel dirty. Who dares to disrespect the people in the world? For example, the two daughters have a bad background, but only their origins! Father, you can check, that in that place, what bad things can the two daughters do? These are the real two lotus flowers that are not stained with mud. Even the women of the family can compare with them. Don't believe it, where are they put them? How many people will not fall? Besides, when they fall to that point, how could they ever wish?"
"Hong'er, what you said is not without reason, but it is not very good. In fact, your father and I may not be very serious about the family. Jiang Bier of the East Palace, Shangguan Wan'er, your father and I both like it very much. But after all, it is a clerical book, and it is still the worst clerical book. It would be fine if you are an ordinary minister, but you are the crown prince and the future king."
"The Queen Mother taught her a lesson right," even his mother said this, which made him very worried, but he could hear other words. Now most of the mother has not yet had the idea of becoming an emperor. Although she was dissatisfied, she did not really want to depose and establish herself. But the two women... then said again: "They have no indecent thoughts. They just want to enter the Eastern Palace and serve their ministers, even if they are a maid, they will have a wish. In the past, their reputations were not bad, nor did they hurt Da Ya."
"How could it not hurt Da Ya?" Li Zhi said, but he was not angry. Since he had heard of it, he must have asked about it. No matter what, the two women's virtues were still respected. Therefore, the first thing he said when talking to his son was that they were the best behavior. After a turn of his words, he said, "I won't mention this for the time being, let me go out and see the rain."
"yes."
Actually, what is the rain that looks good? But it is so satisfying that it is not very good, so the eunuch walked out with a yellow umbrella. He stepped over several pavilions and came to a small pavilion. There was a lotus pond in front of the pavilion, and some lotus flowers were blooming enchantingly. Just by the stone bench in the pavilion, Li Zhi sat down, listened to the sound of the rain hitting the lotus, and turned his head to Wu Zetian and said, "If this rain was three months ahead of schedule?"
Wu Zetian put a shawl on him, and his body was not very good. The autumn rain was falling, and she was afraid that her husband would be frozen. Seeing this action, Li Wei gradually understood why his father gave up power, at least he was trying to deal with his father and mother. He also said: "Your Majesty, don't be upset. Some people are better than none. Memorials from various places have been reported. From Guanzhong to Hedong, Henan, rain began to fall in most areas. This is a blessing."
"Yes," Li Zhi sighed, turned his head, and said to Li Wei: "Hong'er, your poem is quite good. Just write this rain and this lotus flower."
Such a poem is good, but Li Wei suddenly had an idea and said, "The poem is not written anymore, but the poem is thought of a poem and read it to the emperor."
"Okay, read it."
"The flowers of water, land, grass and trees are very cute. Tao Yuanming of Jin loves chrysanthemums only. Since the Wei and Sui Dynasty, people... the love of peonies is suitable for everyone!"
"What kind of fu is this? It's not parallel or rhyme."
"Yes, my son did not do well," Li Wei was speechless. This famous "Love Lotus" was attacked by his father as if it was not parallel or rhyme! Li Zhi also said: "Since you know you can see it from afar and not play with it, why should you summon it to the East Palace?"
“…”
"You have not reached the crown yet, and you have become more beautiful. It's not that I just asked you to marry Wuyan and Sukaku, but the women you pay attention to are just beautiful. There are so many, how many will there be in the future?"
This time, he could answer all of them and bowed: "Your Majesty, if your son meets Wu Yan and Su Tu, you will be regarded as a concubine. Since you have to say something, the ugly person may not be virtuous, and the beautiful person may not be virtuous. The mother is beautiful, and the beautiful person may not be virtuous, but the few young ladies that your son Majesty met, but no one can match. Have you ever lost his virtue?"
Li Zhi didn't say anything. His wife was very suitable for her taste and helped her do a lot of things. But when it comes to being virtuous, both she and her wife had lost their virtues.
Li Wei continued: "Die Renjie's two adopted daughters are of low origin, but they are also unsalted and sacred. They are just ugly and have low origins. They have average moral character. Besides, there are not many young ladies who have been provoked by their sons, only six or seven."
"But those six or seven of them were the ones I took over with your mother? Did you ever be the courageous ones when I was the prince?"
You are more courageous than me, and you still dare to accept grandpa’s people. At least I dare not touch any of the concubines in your harem, but I dare not say it out. I smiled and said, "Father, you just attacked Xu's servants and were not strict in discipline, so the little lady of the Xu family is bold and reckless. It is the magnanimity of the father and the son are more courageous. But father, think about it, this is a rare family affection in the world, such as father and son, and husband and wife kill each other. Is such a family terrible even if it is a royal family?"
"You don't do this, this time I have a headache because of you."
"Yes, my son must pay attention in the future." Li Wei replied respectfully. However, since entering Luoyang, he has only been the most easy-going conversation with his parents this time. It is probably because he has been a scapegoat for them.
Gradually, we all knew that the idea of giving merchants official titles and stimulating them to transport grain to Guanzhong was his own. The merchants were no longer afraid of themselves, but there were many discussions among the people. Even those great scholars who had taught their own scriptures in Chang'an, who had originally taught their own scriptures wrote newspapers one by one, advising them to "turn back to the shore". Others didn't care, but these doctoral scholars were like their own teachers, and their explanations would not work, so they had to write a letter to admit their mistakes and go back, and they would definitely correct them in the future. What should I do? Let's make excuses.
But how long will this peaceful time last? As soon as Xu Jingzong's incident broke out, he didn't know how his parents viewed him.
