Chapter 1263 New interpretation
If we really want to say it, the person who knows Feng Da Sima best in the world is none other than Mrs. Zuo.
After all, the right lady is too deeply involved with the royal family, while the left lady is much more pure.
In addition to being the in-laws of the Feng and Guan families, the Guan family was able to gain power again thanks to the great efforts of Feng Da Sima back then.
Not to mention that Guan Xing still owed Feng Da Sima his life.
Feng Guan, Feng Wang (Feng Yong and Wang Ping), and Feng Zhao (Feng Yong and Zhao Guang), it may be too much to say that the three families will live and die together, but it is certain that they will share honor and disgrace.
Of course, this is not the point.
Because if the right lady couldn't tell that Feng Da Sima had other plans, then there would be even less reason to see it with the left lady's habit of using force.
Now Mrs. Zuo can point out Feng Da Sima with one sentence, for only one reason.
That is Mrs. Zuo who once heard Da Sima talk about the future plans for the Han Dynasty.
The court is very large and can accommodate nobles, noble families, royal families, clan members, and even poor people.
But the court is very small. If you want to have a say in the court in the future, you must be a talented person who has passed the exam.
In the words of Feng Da Sima, I can’t change you, so why can’t I change the system?
What does it mean that although Han is an old country, its destiny is restored?
If we don’t carry out revolutionary reforms, what else would we call “restoration”?
The Xinghan Association, Gui, Honor, and even the people, all have benefited from the New Deal of the Han Dynasty.
Even if the royal family is added to it, it won’t work!
Unless Adou wants to learn from Cao Wei and build a country based on aristocratic families.
Even if Adou was determined to imitate Cao Wei, he would not be able to reverse the direction of Ji Han's wheel without killing heads and blood flowing into rivers.
It seems that the queen was forced to live in Gui Palace by the ministers headed by Feng Da Sima.
In fact, this was a joint counterattack by various interest groups in the Han Dynasty who took advantage of Wei Yan's defeat to fight against the royal family who tried to change the rules:
The system inherited by the late emperor and the prime minister is very good. We should abide by it. Your Majesty, please don't change it randomly.
In the past, there was Cao Sui Xiao Gui, who built the prosperity of the former Han Dynasty.
Now that we will always follow the bright regulations, we will definitely be able to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty three times.
Seeing Da Sima looking at him with resentment, General Zhendong smiled at the corners of his eyes:
"What? Could it be that what Alang said in there just now is true?"
Feng Dasima replied confidently:
“Of course they are all sincere!”
General Zhendong raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
“I just have some ideas and the time has not come yet, so I haven’t told Si Niang yet.”
"oh!"
At midnight when no one was whispering, General Zhendong asked his guards to stay away and lowered his voice:
“Have you ever thought about Ah Lang, what will happen to Siniang if it really gets to the point of getting out of hand?”
Feng Dashima smiled confidently:
“It won’t get to that point, at least not until the world is unified.”
“What about after the unification of the world?”
"After the unification of the world..." Feng Da Sima looked up at the sky. The sky was like a black cloth, dotted with stars, twinkling uncertainly. "The sky and the earth are so big, I want to see it."
“Alang wants to study and stay as a marquis (namely Zhang Liang)?”
Feng Dashima chuckled lightly:
"I am a disciple of the mountain sect. After the world is settled, I will retire and go to the mountain to cultivate immortality. Why not?"
Although it sounds reasonable, General Zhendong always feels that something is wrong.
My own Alang doesn’t look like a person who is pure-hearted and has no desires but wants to cultivate immortality.
The husband and wife are of the same mind, even in the darkness of the night, Feng Dasima still seems to be able to feel the doubt in the eyes of General Zhendong.
But I saw a smile in his tone:
“There are thousands of ways to cultivate immortality, and it’s not just about destroying human desires. Carrying beauty, traveling around rivers and lakes, roaring in mountains and forests, following one’s desires, feeling that the sky is high and the earth is thick, you may not be unable to become an immortal.”
“Land gods?”
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zuo Ci Yu Ji and others were very famous and were called land gods.
General Zhendong is naturally no stranger.
“If I really want to become a land god, will Sanniang be willing to follow me?”
“Wherever Alang goes, I will naturally go.”
"Ah That's good."
Sent Mrs. Zuo to her small courtyard, and watched her disappear in the inner courtyard, Feng Da Sima turned around.
The achievement of clever words and seduction +1.
Time has entered December of the fourth year of Yanxi, and it has snowed several times in Chang'an.
After attending the last morning court session of the year, it was already the zenith of the sun.
Emperor Liu Chan sat on a chariot and arrived at Gui Palace from the pavilion of Wuyang Palace.
“Queen, Queen!”
After getting off the carriage, the Adou people kept calling for the queen before entering the palace.
“Why is Your Majesty coming here at this time?”
After moving to Gui Palace due to the Wei Yan incident, Queen Zhang no longer had the power and unyielding vigor she had before, but became restrained and calm.
“Quickly, take off your coat and go to the Nuan Pavilion to warm yourself up. Don’t get cold.”
Although there were no snowflakes on it, the queen still shook her outer cloak, as if she wanted to shake off the invisible dust, and then she was asked to put it away.
"I have been sitting in the front hall for most of the day today, listening to their quarrel for most of the day, and my head hurts."
“After the court, I didn’t want to stay there for a moment, so I came over immediately to talk to the queen.”
Adou was talking nonchalantly as he walked into the Nuan Pavilion in a familiar manner, found a place to lie down, and then sighed comfortably:
“Queen, you are at home here.”
Empress Zhang made an invisible gesture and asked everyone in the palace to retreat.
Then he came behind Adou, stretched out his hands, gently rubbed Adou's temples, and asked softly:
"Your Majesty, please don't say this in front of outsiders. Otherwise, it will be a small matter to say that I have missed your Majesty. When the time comes, it will be a big deal to be said that your Majesty is lazy in politics."
Hearing this, A Douhun didn’t care:
"If you are lazy in politics, just be lazy in politics. Besides, now I am an emperor sitting in the court. The so-called political affairs are actually just reading the memorials handed over by the Chancellor."
Without the Queen's timely support behind him, Adou found himself unable to face the ministers and state affairs alone.
Coupled with the blow from the Wei Yan incident, the Han emperor began to enter a state of ruin.
Anyway, there are great Sima and great generals.
If you can solve it yourself, they can solve it.
If they can't solve it, they can't solve it themselves.
History has finally shown its strong inertia again.
Adou of the Shu Han Dynasty followed the Prime Minister's orders and appointed the ministers left by the Prime Minister without any violation.
Until the prime minister's remaining ministers were almost dead, and only Jiang Wei was left, the country also perished.
Ji Han’s Adou has finally entered his original trajectory in history again.
It's just that this time, the ministers left behind by the prime minister are younger and more powerful.
Out of Adou’s sight, the queen pursed her lips, but kept moving:
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven after all. This world is still the Han world. The Prime Minister has said that your Majesty must not belittle yourself."
“If not, how can we maintain the majesty of the Heavenly Family in front of our ministers? How can we lead the loyal and righteous men of the Han Dynasty to revive the Han Dynasty?”
Adou, who had closed his eyes comfortably, let out a "tsk" sound and was about to open his eyes to speak.
“I’m talking too much. If Your Majesty doesn’t like to hear it, why don’t I tell you about an interesting discovery I’ve come up with in the past two days.”
As expected, Adou became interested: "What did the Queen discover?"
“Your Majesty, please wait a moment.”
The queen turned and left, and after a while she brought another painting.
Adou sat up straight, looked at the painting, and said "eh" involuntarily:
“This painting is not from the early years…”
“It is exactly the painting from when His Majesty asked the Immortal Li for a test in his early years.”
Empress Zhang spread out the painting and carefully put it in front of Adou, and said:
“I have had nothing to do these days. I feel that the great Han Dynasty will be prosperous, and I also think of the critical situation when your majesty first came to the throne. I have something in mind, so I took out this painting again.”
Adou's eyes fell on the painting, and then looked at the queen, a little confused:
“Hasn’t the Prime Minister already solved this painting?”
The Queen sat next to Adou and shook her head gently:
"The Prime Minister is certainly extremely talented, but he has been busy with state affairs and military affairs in those years, but he only solved them in a hurry. I am afraid he has long forgotten this matter."
As she spoke, she gently nodded at the half-length beauty, "I may be foolish and short-sighted, but as the saying goes, a fool will always succeed after a thousand considerations. Why don't Your Majesty listen to my thoughts?"
“Then tell me?”
Adou moved closer to the painting and said with great interest.
“Your Majesty, this man with two water and one horse must be Feng, so there is no need to say more.”
Adou nodded in agreement.
Whoever thinks this does not represent Feng Lianjin, the emperor of the Han family will be the first to not believe it.
“What I suspect is that this half-length beauty is not the Jiang the Prime Minister mentioned, but someone else.”
"oh?"
Adou was a little surprised, "If it's not Jiang, who could it be?"
Jiang Boyue and Feng Mingwen were both personally taught the art of war by the Prime Minister, and both were valued by the Prime Minister.
Everyone who knows this painting thinks that this half-length beauty must be Jiang Wei.
Unexpectedly, the Queen had another explanation today. How could this not surprise Adou?
The queen didn't say a word, but dipped in tea and wrote a word on the desk.
When Adou saw that word, he couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice: "Guan?!"
He raised his head and looked at the queen in disbelief.
The Queen also lowered her voice: "Your Majesty, half beauty, you can also say half beauty."
"Sanniang of the Guan family and Silang of the Guan family are the same person. They are extremely beautiful on the inside, and they are Han generals on the outside. Can they be called half-length beauties?"
Hearing this, Adou suddenly stood up and looked steadily at the void in front of him.
“Half beauty, half beauty,” he took two steps back and forth, “Woman disguised as a man, half beauty? Is this the solution?”
Thinking of General Zhendong's illustrious military exploits, Adou couldn't help but swallowed again.
It seems that it can be explained?
“Your Majesty, if the half-length beauty is really Guan Zhendong, then Feng Mingwen’s sect can really be called your Majesty’s Wei Huo (i.e. Wei Qing Huo Qu Bing).”
When Adou heard the Queen's words, he couldn't help but grin, and then shook his head:
“It’s too early to tell. After all, Feng Guan is a woman, let’s see.”
The queen said angrily:
“Your Majesty, are you looking down on women? Don’t forget that Feng Mingwen often said that women can hold up half the sky even if women are not inferior to men!”
Adou said quickly:
"How could I think so? The queen has helped me a lot over the years, how dare I look down on women?"
Speaking of this, Adou sighed again, "The Queen moved to Gui Palace and still ignored the past grievances and called Feng Mingwen and Feng Guanshi my Weihuo. It is extremely rare."
“When I have the chance, I will definitely talk to Feng Mingwen about this matter so that we can clear up the misunderstanding between you.”
The queen's lips curled up almost invisible, and then she said slowly:
"As long as the friendship between Feng Mingwen and Your Majesty is maintained, it doesn't matter what happens to me here. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."
Then he changed the topic seemingly casually:
“Speaking of Feng Mingwen, he is now the Chief Sima, and he also records the affairs of the Secretariat. Why did His Majesty say that when he first came in, he had been arguing for most of the day when he went to court?”
“Then Feng Mingwen’s prestige in the court is very high, so why can’t he suppress those people? Could it be that there is some disagreement between the general and the chief commander?”
Having said so much before, Adou seemed to relax and was finally in the mood to talk about matters in the DPRK:
"Queen, you guessed wrong this time. The general is on Da Sima's side this time."
The Queen keenly captured the message:
“Oh, not the general? Who else in the court is so bold as to dare to disobey the commander-in-chief and the general?”
“Queen, you will never guess this person.” Adou followed the topic unknowingly and said, “The person who raised objections to Da Sima in court was General Zhenbei.”
"General Zhenbei?" The queen thought for a moment and knew who it was, "Pei Qian, Pei Wenxing?"
“Exactly!”
After receiving Adou's affirmative answer, the queen's eyes suddenly widened. She seemed to be a little unconvinced that Pei Qian would be so bold:
“He is so bold?”
Pei Qian is a descendant.
“But I don’t know what objection he has to Da Sima?”
“Of course it’s a matter of joining the party.”
“Something about going to the party?”
"Yes." Adou nodded, unconsciously and habitually reporting today's court meeting to the queen, "Pei Wenxing reported that Shi Zhongrong, the governor of Shangdang, was too harsh on the government."
“Not only did he exhaust his efforts to plunder the place, but he also used various methods to force many officials to have their families destroyed. Pei Wenxing said that in Shangdang, Shi Zhongrong is now known as a skinned evil dog.”
“Flaying a vicious dog?”
The queen laughed.
Shi Bao was already known as the "evil dog" when he served as the general of Dian Nong and patrolled the Yanhai in Hedong.
Now this reputation has spread to the court.
“If I remember correctly, Shi Zhongrong was recommended by Grand Sima to be the governor of Shangdang, right?”
The incident of going to the party can be regarded as one of the events that had the greatest impact on Queen Zhang.
She naturally remembers things about going to the party very clearly.
"That's right." Adou nodded, "Pei Wenxing hopes that Da Sima can be lenient with the Shangdang's harsh rule, so as to prevent public resentment from spreading and causing further trouble."
When the queen heard this, a cold look flashed in her eyes, and she shook her head:
"The wealthy family of Shangdang dared to collude with thieves and cause chaos. With the temperament of Grand Sima, how could he give up so easily? He recommended Shi Zhongrong as the prefect of Shangdang just to turn the place upside down."
"Exactly, Da Sima also had the same idea. He only said that if a thief is not punished, he will not be able to warn others who will come after him."
Adou said with some distress, "But what Pei Wenxing said is somewhat reasonable. In order to implement the New Deal as soon as possible, Shi Zhongrong's methods were too harsh, which would inevitably hurt some peaceful people."
Any reform has to be paid by someone.
Except for conservative families, it does not rule out that the people below may be too radical for the sake of political achievements and harm certain families that should not be involved.
No one in the court mentioned it before, and everyone pretended not to have seen it.
Anyway, the cost is for the overall good.
As long as I am not the price.
Just as the Shangdang incident continued to ferment, someone finally came forward to raise this issue.
“Then what was Da Sima’s reaction?”
“Da Sima was not angry. Instead, he seemed to appreciate Pei Qian and proposed a solution.”
Very appreciated?
The queen nodded slowly, wrote down the name, and then asked: "But I don't know what plan Da Sima proposed?"
