If you ask who is the most popular person in Yanjing or even Wei in recent days? The answer is none other than Mrs. Guan. She first cut off the belly of her younger brother and sister, which caused a crusade, and then successfully reversed her speech with the help of a sacrificial text. Today, this article is collected by Master Xuanguang in the annual "Xuanguang Collection", and is praised by many literary giants as the perfect tune of sacrificial writing and the glory of mourning, and her talent has been praised to the sky.
But at present, she is a dignified first-rank official, and she is actually placed among the third-rank gentlemen, and occupies the worst position, not to mention kneeling for ninety-eighty-one days, fearing that her legs and feet will be ruined in just one day. The low-level life wives who were still quite resentful just now are finally psychologically balanced, because some people are more unlucky than them; the first- and second-grade ladies in the palace also came out to watch the fun, and their faces were full of ridicule and hatred.
Mrs. Zhong was still thinking about where her daughter would be arranged, and when she heard the noise, she hurried over to check, and she was furious on the spot, "This worldly woman, did you make a mistake? My daughter is an official, and she should kneel with me. in one place."
Guan Suyi was not relieved when she saw her mother coming, but raised her heart even more, lest she be affected.
"Did you make a mistake, can you know better than me? As the saying goes, a husband is honored and his wife is more valuable, and the wife is based on the husband's grade. This position was originally arranged according to the grade of your husband and master. Although Mrs. Guan is a first-class, the Zhao family is big. The master is a commoner, can her destiny be the same as other appointments? Put her here, not by the lake where the four-ranked respectful people are sitting on their knees, you should thank me for raising your hand." The woman's face was beautiful and calm, However, there is a hidden hostility between the eyebrows, which shows that today's vow to maim people must not be done.
Mrs. is of the husband's rank, this is true, Mrs. Zhong was a little discouraged, but still begged, "Then you can't kneel directly under the tile trough, others are drenched in light rain, but my daughter is in heavy rain, and the ground is damaged to this point. , she will fall ill within two hours. Could you please move her to the side?"
Sensing that her daughter was about to speak, Mr. Zhong quickly held her wrist firmly and shook his head without a trace, implying that she should not conflict with the female official. Today is the ceremony of the first empress dowager, and no one can make trouble.
This worldly woman smiled contemptuously, "You said it so lightly, you asked me to move my position when I opened my mouth. It should be noted that if you move one here, all the women below have to move, and hundreds of people are working. Where did you come from such a big face? Why don't I take the two of you to see the Queen Mother and let her old man talk to you in person?"
Hearing that she was going to see the queen mother, but only to change seats, Zhong Shi couldn't help but hesitate, but Guan Suyi understood that it would be more difficult to ask for it. The two dealt with it.
Power... It wasn't until now that she understood why Ye Zhen wanted to climb up by unscrupulous means, because power is really a good thing, with it, if you want to kill someone, you just need to open your mouth.
When she was full of humiliation and torture, someone next to her said sarcastic words, "Isn't it just kneeling? Who is not like this? Why is your daughter so delicate? Look at those four-grade honorable people, some Kneeling by the lake and blowing the cold wind, it's time to go into the water after a little move. Your daughter will be cut..." The belly is very strong! The rest of the words, this first-rank life woman did not dare to say further. Now the four words "cutting the abdomen to take the child" have become a forbidden language, and whoever talks about it is disgusting that he has a long life.
"Yeah, there are so many people kneeling and sitting in the rain, don't they all suffer?" More and more people opened their mouths to persuade, but gloating light flashed in their eyes.
Seeing that the mother and daughter of the Guan family were speechless, the woman of the world said arrogantly, "Do you still want to see the queen mother? Just kneel down when you don't see it!"
Guan Suyi's waist was so stretched that she couldn't bend her knees no matter what, when she faintly thought that she would pay the price of breaking her leg bones today, a familiar voice came from behind her, "I'm talking to you on behalf of Madam, how?"
"Your Majesty!" There was a series of gasping sounds from all around, and then fell to the ground, long live the mountain. The woman of the world was so frightened that she was fighting with her arms, sweating like a waterfall, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed. She never expected that His Majesty, who was supposed to burn incense and bathe in the apse, would suddenly appear here. However, since he is here, he will definitely open his eyes for Mrs. Guan.
In just one day, after Mrs. Guan faints, she will send someone to the imperial hospital, and then report it to the queen mother, and she will be credited for her great deeds on the grounds of "extreme filial piety and sincerity", and she will be rewarded with some jewels and sent home. Hit a stick and give a sweet date, forgive her that she has nothing to say. She has been praised for her filial piety and sincerity for one day's effort to destroy her legs and feet, how could she dare to shout out and ruin her reputation
The front and back were all cooked properly, but the elusive His Majesty could not be prevented. How could he suddenly come to the side hall where the wives gathered? Could it be that someone can't deliver the letter? This worldly woman was still thinking wildly, but she heard the emperor say lightly, "Pull it down and kill me!" She didn't even want to say a word of nonsense to her.
Immediately, two guards came up to arrest him. The life women inside and outside the hall were already frightened, and although a few timid and fearful people did not cry, they burst into tears, describing them as embarrassed, and they were no longer as glamorous as before.
Only Guan Suyi took a step forward calmly and saluted, "Your Majesty, today is the first sacrifice to the Queen Mother, and it is not appropriate to see blood."
Mrs. Guan is really kind and kind, and at this time, she did not forget to intercede for the world's women! Some people praised her in their hearts, and some secretly laughed at her stupid. Mrs. Zhong gently pulled on the hem of her daughter's clothes, implying that she should not ask women to be benevolent and repay their grievances with virtue.
Unexpectedly, Guan Suyi's voice paused for a while, and then said, "Why don't you lock it up for now and deal with it after the ceremony is over?"
Still want to kill, time has moved back ninety-nine to eighty-one days, the long process of waiting for death is hundreds of times more ruthless than on-the-spot disposal! The worldly woman, who was still smiling just now, is now paralyzed like mud, breaking down and crying.
Emperor Sheng Yuan took a deep look at his wife, and his eyes were full of amazement. He knew that the lady was kind, arrogant, and lofty, but today he could see a dash of vigor under her seemingly peaceful charm. No, it might be more appropriate to describe it as hostile. This anger is not too much, not too much, just right, it will neither make her weak and bullying, nor will it make her fly and impetuous, is the so-called good and evil
The more he saw it, the more he liked it, he had to turn his eyes away, turned towards the woman, and waved his hand, "Didn't you hear what the lady said? Take it down and lock it up, and the execution will be executed immediately after the ceremony is over."
The guard agreed and dragged away the woman who kept begging for mercy. The hall became quiet in an instant, Emperor Sheng Yuan walked around his wife twice, looked at the futon arranged for her, couldn't help sneering, and lifted his leg to sweep it down.
Guan Suyi caught a glimpse of the third- and fourth-grade life women kneeling in the rain, and continued to speak boldly, "Your Majesty, praying for the first queen mother was a good deed, but I didn't expect to encounter the autumn rain, which was cold to the bone, and kneeling for two hours was enough. In the end of the day, it may hurt the ladies and nobles, and it will not be beautiful. Do you think that the craftsmen will immediately build a shed in the open space and light a brazier for them to shelter from the rain and cold, which can also be regarded as a blessing for the queen mother. ?"
As soon as these words fell, a woman who couldn't stand the cold looked eagerly at His Majesty. They can only think about it in their hearts, how dare they say it face to face? The dragon evil spirit that His Majesty has cultivated in the sea of corpses and blood is absolutely unbearable, and only Mrs. Guan, who sews the belly of a dead person with her own hands, can handle it calmly, and then discuss a few words with him.
Before she interceded for the world's wife, some people were still laughing at her for being stupid. Now it's about her own interests, even her life, and no one will slander her again. After all, it was that woman who deliberately made things difficult, who couldn't see it? If the rankings were really based on their net worth and background, Mrs. Guan, who was held in the palm of the hands of Emperor Shi and Tai Chang, should be the most honorable group of people in Yanjing.
Words and hearts are so easy to control, but a little grace can turn them upside down. Seeing all the wives being wooed by the lady with a few words, why did Emperor Shengyuan not do it? Immediately he waved his hand and said, "It's my lack of thought, I'm sorry ladies." He nodded slightly and ordered in a warm voice, "Bai Fu, immediately ask the Department of Internal Affairs to call craftsmen to build a shack, the brazier here cannot be broken, Jiang Tang It can’t be less. If any lady can’t stand it, she will go to rest for a while. Don’t hurt her body because of the worship, and let the mother know about it. I’m afraid she will not feel at ease. The sacrifice is in the sincerity, not the form, everything is simple, Everything is lenient."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a voice of gratitude inside and outside the hall. It is said that the emperor is benevolent, they did not feel much before, but now they finally experience it firsthand. With such a monarch, it is really fortunate to live in Wei State!
Emperor Shengyuan glanced at his wife and said with a smile, "No need to thank me, thank Mrs. Guan."
"Thank you, Mrs. Guan!" There was another round of thanks in the field, and even the old Fengjun, who was higher than himself, bowed down, so Guan Suyi had nowhere to avoid, so he had to stand behind Emperor Shengyuan.
Zhongshi looked at the two people next to each other, and felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't understand Guanqiao. However, no matter what, this hurdle is finally over, I just don't know who is behind the rectification of the Guan family. Seeing her daughter's determined appearance, it seems to have been done
Before she could pull her daughter aside to ask, Emperor Shengyuan clasped his hands and bowed deeply, "Madam, I want to write a sacrificial text for the imperial concubine myself, but due to my limited knowledge, I haven't dared to write. Madam is talented and outstanding. , you are especially good at expressing emotions at the scene, and conveying the sense of things, please ask my wife to teach me!"
I came here for teaching! The emperor is really filial, sincere and humble! All the ladies suddenly realized and praised in their hearts, even Zhong Shi was touched by him, and could not wait to agree.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Guan Suyi could not refuse, and after a little salutation, he followed him to the main hall.
Emperor Shengyuan slowed down and looked sideways, "Madam, if there is no me today, your knees will not be able to hold. The so-called strong and humiliated is a complete fallacy. The reason why you are humiliated is not because you are too strong, but because you are too strong. It's because you're not strong enough. If you stand in the hall today as the mother of a country, look at the Central Plains, the Wei Kingdom, and even the Kyushu Continent, who would dare to humiliate you?"
Guan Suyi was unmoved, lowered her eyes and pondered, "The meaning of what you said is to be interpreted as - looking at Wei, you are the only one who can humiliate me?"
Emperor Shengyuan, "..."
