Although the old lady was also from an official family, she only knew a few words and did not have much knowledge. After marrying into the Zhao family, she did not enjoy the blessings. Instead, the whole family was convicted and sent to the border. dropped significantly. She thought that Ye Zhen was extremely favored and held the palace power in her hand. Sooner or later, the Ye family would crush the Hou's Mansion and even the Imperial Master's Mansion and become another top-level clan, but she did not expect her daughter-in-law to assert that the Ye family would suffer.
What doorway is there? If it is true, then she should set off hundreds of firecrackers to celebrate. Thinking like this, she asked the same question.
Guan Suyi poured tea for her mother-in-law, and said slowly, "The ancients have ancestral systems and cannot be arrogant, ranging from how to build a house, as small as the difference between the left and right sides of the clothes, even the utensils for drinking, the offerings for sacrifice, the color and color of the fabrics. The embroidery patterns have their own regulations according to the status, bloodline, and caste. There are no taboos for the supreme and the most noble, and the humble and the lowly are all careful. If the lowly goes beyond the ancestral system, he will be severely punished. Is the Ye family expensive or cheap?"
Thinking of Ye Zhen, who was the only favorite of Jiaofang, the old lady hesitated, "Although the Ye family was from a humble background, Ye Jieyu, who is leaning on the emperor's back, is already half a royal, and naturally belongs to the nobles."
Guan Suyi shook her head and chuckled, "No. Whether she is really favored or falsely favored, no one can tell except the emperor. However, I can guess nine times out of ten. The emperor destroyed the princes and established the kingdom of Wei. , exempt from taxes, light corvée, end the suffering of wars and turmoil for hundreds of years, let the people recuperate and live and work in peace and contentment. It is not an exaggeration to say that a man of the world is a wise man. He has no experience in governing the world, so everything needs to be explored slowly. In a state of ruin, every monarch who guards the gates of the country is a model for him to learn from, emulate, or take as a warning. The Da Zhou was divided due to the division of the feudal lords, and the Qin state was unified due to the transformation of the counties and counties, so The emperor followed the system of prefectures and counties and destroyed the feudal states; the last emperor of the previous dynasty was assassinated by the eunuch in charge of the Si Lijian with a random knife, intending to usurp the throne. Therefore, the emperor abolished the twelve supervisory system, set up internal and external servants, and strictly prohibited eunuchs from participating in and discussing government affairs, to prevent the disaster of eunuchs. ; The former Han Dynasty fell apart due to the internal chaos and the disaster of the foreign relatives. The Jiangshan Sheji was finally taken away by the foreign relative Wang Mang, and a new dynasty was established, so the emperor restrained the foreign relatives and strictly repaired the internal affairs. You can see the daughter of the prime minister who was elected to the palace this year, Zhen The daughters of the generals of the country, the daughters of the Marquis of Guanwai... were all sent home for various reasons, and the beauties left behind were all of ordinary family background and had little background. This shows the extent of the emperor's defense against relatives. It is said that the emperor is suspicious, This statement is true, and he chose to hand over the palace power to a merchant's daughter, in which, apart from kindness, there is no political consideration at all? Can his love for Ye Jieyu really reach the point of surpassing the imperial power?"
The old lady was dumbfounded, and the more she thought about it, the more reasonable it became.
Guan Suyi dipped the tea water to moisten her throat and continued, "Businessmen seek profit and are good at drilling camps. Not only they themselves know how the Ye family made a fortune, but others can also see clearly. Back then, the emperor and his brothers fought together against the enemy, Later, they turned against each other due to disagreement. Support. His Ye family watched from the sidelines and fished in troubled waters, just to wait for a certain prince to win, so that the fisherman would benefit? However, the emperor was not a fool, he had already seen him through, and was about to find a family with a hair and leaves, but Ye Jieyu suddenly appeared I came out and tried my best to save him. So the Ye family was in danger and found a solution."
The old lady suddenly realized, "The emperor sent the leaves home? Yes, yes, there was a year when the horse plague was popular at the border. Master Ye was arrested and said that he deliberately sold the plague horses to the military camp. He was suspected of colluding with foreign enemies and wanted to raid his home. Beheading. For this, Lord Hou ran many times, and after many mediations, later... Later, Ye Jieyu rescued the emperor, and the Ye family's disaster was completely eliminated."
If the daughter-in-law hadn't pointed it out, she wouldn't have noticed that those old things still contained such intricate inner feelings.
Guan Suyi nodded and said, "The emperor places great importance on love and righteousness, and knows his kindness and repayment, so he is willing to abandon his previous hatred and treat the Ye family well, but it does not mean that he can condone his foreign relatives without bottom line. Which one is not the humerus minister who helped him reach the top, and which one is not very helpful to him? He even has to guard against them, not to mention the Ye family who clings halfway and has ulterior motives? Ye Jieyu's reputation has been very good before, listen to She said that because she was weak, she couldn't move around in the interior, and she didn't take authority or act arrogantly, so the emperor was very at ease with her and was willing to spoil her. When you get up, the emperor is about to hire people and wants to promote the Guan family and advertise Confucianism, but she is trying to suppress it, isn't she working against the emperor
The old lady repeatedly echoed, "Yes, yes, there are many beauties in the harem, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. If the emperor wants nothing, how can it endanger the imperial power."
Guan Suyi said again, "It is 10,000 steps back to say that the emperor has a deep affection for Ye Jieyu, obeyed his words, and condoned her arrogance. What should the new nobles think? The only one treasure in the treasury was taken away by a merchant's daughter. This is not a problem. It was handed over to the clan sister, and she was still a despicable clan sister who wanted to be a concubine. Where is she? She is raising the mother's family, but she is provoking the jealousy of Quan Yanjing Xungui; she is giving away treasures, but she is throwing a hot potato. Just wait, if the Ye family continues to be rampant, even if the emperor does not take action A lot of people beat."
After taking a slow sip of hot tea, she sighed deeply, "A businessman is a businessman. After all, his vision and knowledge are limited. He can only see the interests at hand, but not the long-term layout. That's why people in the world have such a sentence - morality and family heritage, For more than ten generations, farming and reading are the next, followed by poetry and books, and wealth and honor, but only three generations. If Ye Fan wants to make waves, I will see how long she can be proud."
The old lady kept pondering these words of her daughter-in-law, and at the end she clapped her palm and praised, "What a moral heir, more than ten generations. My Zhao family can marry Suyi as a daughter-in-law, it is the ancestor's accumulation of virtue in the previous life! Well, since the Ye family wants to be a demon, we will Let's wait and see where he ends up."
Amitabha, it is fortunate that Ye Zhen is gone, otherwise the Hou residence will be scourged by her for three generations! Thinking of this, the old lady finally let go of the filth of the past.
Inside the house, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started talking and laughing at Yan Yan, but there was a dead silence outside. Zhao Luli, who was in deep thought, did not notice that the little maid who passed through the curtain was peeking at the new wife with a strange look. He was so upset now that he stood there for a while and walked away with his two children hiding his face, as if he didn't dare to see anyone.
Why wait until the future to see the fate of the Ye family, just an hour ago, the coral tree that represented Ye family's favorite had been shattered into powder, and the emperor not only did not investigate, but instead withdrew the forbidden army and ignored it. Just as Guan Suyi said, if the Ye family was honest and kept his own way, he would treat him like a puppet. On the contrary, if the Ye family showed the intention of forming a party, he would use thunderous means to subdue them. He was afraid of his foreign relatives, so how could he let the Ye family grow up
Foreign relatives are rampant, eunuchs are in charge of politics, and the situation where the king and the horse share the world will never happen again, and the world can only be surnamed Huo. Even though he had been with the domineering king for nearly ten years, Zhao Luli found sadly that his understanding of him was not as thorough as Guan Suyi's analysis from shallow to deep.
The broken red coral is probably his means of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, right? The cause and effect came too quickly, and I don't know how Zhen'er would be afraid, how should she deal with herself? At this point, Zhao Lu was still thinking about his deceased wife, and he didn't even care about the face and appearance of the new wife.
Of course, Guan Suyi didn't care about his concern. When the porridge was ready, he would stand at the corner gate with his mother-in-law. Every time he met a passerby, he would donate a bowl, forming a good relationship and accumulating a fortune.
----
The stepmother has spoken so clearly, analyzed the current situation so thoroughly, and even learned a thing or two about the emperor's personality and temperament, how could Zhao Chunxi not understand? She returned to Penglai Garden in a daze, and after she screened the idle crowd and waited, she gritted her teeth and said, "You must have heard Guan's words, right?"
Hexiang sweated like pulp, and her voice trembled, "Listen, I heard."
"Then what do you think I should do now? The Ye family has already suffered, the emperor will leave it alone, and even my aunt may fall out of favor, who can I rely on now? Do you really want me to kowtow to Guan and admit my mistake, and then help She attacked the third aunt, attacked the Ye family? What is the difference between this and admitting a thief as a mother? I'm not reconciled, I'm really not reconciled, I never want a stepmother, I just want my own mother." After all, she was just a When a half-old child encounters such a thing that is completely beyond his control, even if he starts to cry, his heart is filled with confusion and fear.
On the one hand, she longed for a mother's love, and on the other hand, she hated Ye Zhen for abandoning her husband and her son, but she envied her extremely rich life, so she imitated the other party's unscrupulous methods and worked hard. With no one to teach her, her every move, every word and deed was out of order, and even a little ridiculous, so she was pierced by the cruel reality one by one without her stepmother's action.
He Xiang took pity on such a young lady, but did not dare to speak indiscriminately. Facts have proved that her previous predictions about the Ye family were all jokes, which made the eldest lady take the double-red famous post from Aunt Ye to the lady to show off her power. Madam is extremely smart, how can she not hear the sarcasm and ridicule in her words? However, in her opinion, the complacent eldest lady is probably no different from that jumping clown, right? No wonder she didn't feel humiliated at all, and she could practice calligraphy so calmly.
Before she stepped into the Ye family, she had already predicted the disaster of the Ye family. Thinking like this, He Xiang couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and with a trembling voice, he comforted her, "The one who knows the current affairs is the best. Miss, the Ye family suffers, you still have to rely on your wife for the time being, why don't you continue to serve her as a child, wait for the left and right, so as to Wait for it to be drawn slowly in the future.”
Zhao Chunxi forgot to cry, and after a long silence, he spat, "Shut up! Even if I die, I won't bow to her! If she doesn't care about me and her father, then the third aunt is burdened by the Ye family and cannot be used in the backyard. It's easy to add some obstacles to her. I don't believe that she can really cover the sky with only one hand. If she can't give birth to a child in 17 or 18 years, I see how she will be so proud! At that time, she will not be able to rely on me and Wang Shu? Thirty years in Hedong thirty years Nian Hexi, I'll have a fight with her!"
