Zhen Guo Princess GL

My hands are shaking.Ever since I knew that my mother was His Majesty Zetian, I couldn't help but think a little more about her words and deeds, so I gradually discovered many details that I hadn't paid attention to before.In the past, I certainly knew that what my mother needs to be able to ascend to the position of queen is not only my father's favor and love, nor the generosity and love of my servants, but knowing and knowing are not the same thing.For example, for the concubines who are also trying to confuse the saints and win the favor of the queen, the mother can assign them to military officials, mix them with the palace people and let them out of the palace, or keep them secluded in the cold palace and never see the light of day. They can be killed once and for all. I used to think that what my mother did was at most the first two, but recent observations all point to the cruelest choice, or... the safest one.My mother is known for being lenient, and the palace servants dare to speak out, but they are also kind and lenient. The servants in my palace can be regarded as deceiving and lawless, but in the Zichen Palace, there is no leaking of secrets. , there is no obscenity, and occasionally dereliction of duty, before the mother scolds them, these people are trembling themselves, as if they are in serious trouble. If the mother is really as lenient as she appears on the surface, these people will never be so afraid of becoming like this—— ——Of course, only such a mother can be supreme as a woman and be worthy of the name of Zetian.I'm not proud of it either.But just as there is often a distinction between the strong country and the weak in the world, a strong mother is not all good for me.My every move is subject to her attention. When I was young, I only cared about food and daily life. Even if my behavior was not satisfactory occasionally, it can be regarded as the innocent mood of a young daughter. I was evasive at the age of [-], and involved a wide range of contacts, and my mother's control over me became more detailed and extensive. She herself is a gifted, talented, and judges others by herself, so she is picky. As her children, she treats us The requirements are more stringent than others, wishing that we could be perfect in everything we do all the time, if we disobey a little, we will get angry and change our face, we will be beaten or punished, and we will follow our heart - we are her blood and blood , Naturally, there will be no such thing as killing with a stick, but the people around us will inevitably suffer from the disaster.

For example, Wei Huan today.What she did, at worst, is deceitful, treacherous and deceitful, and it is not too much to kill her immediately; at best, she is loyal and dedicated to the public, and when her mother is in a good mood, she can't say it back Can get a reward.But my mother was annoyed that I was controlled by the subordinates, so she thought this matter more and more badly, what was hiding evil intentions, what was telling the truth... After all, the root of this matter is still in me. If you want to save Wei Huan, you can only start from me. As long as my mother knows that I am not a fool who is fooled by others, Wei Huan will be fine.To understand this, I put my left hand on my right hand, folded my hands in front of my body, and kowtowed solemnly to my mother. My mother sneered, "Why, at this point, who do you want to intercede for?"

My hands were actually still shaking, so I had no choice but to hold each other, pretending to be calm and authentic: "I don't want to intercede for anyone, but to plead guilty to A Niang."

The mother raised her eyebrows and said, "She was the one who told the truth, how could it be your fault?"

I said: "Your Majesty is the empress of heaven, and all she cares about is the important affairs of her family and country. Wei Huan and A Yang are both slaves, so how can they be worthy of my mother's anger for her? The change of face is not for the reason It's her, it's me. It's really unfilial for me to make A Niang so angry, so I apologize first."

Mother said lightly: "Tell me."

I couldn't hear any joy or anger in her voice, I was afraid in my heart, but my face became more solemn, and I leaned over and said: "Ayang is my nurse, but I can't restrain her, let her do whatever she wants, break the law, is it right?" My crime one; Song Foyou is my female historian, wise and understanding, not close to the virtuous and far away from her, but alienating her, this is my second crime."

Mother sneered and said nothing.

I said: "Song Foyou and Wei Huan have already complained about Ayang's matter. Because I scolded Ayang that day, it was obvious that he was sick. He really wanted me to go to Yeting to invite me in person, so that he would come back on duty. This is relying on self-reliance; my companion entered the palace, and gave gifts to and fro, there was a lot of greed in the upper and lower levels. Although this is the job of a servant, Ayang also indulged a lot; my property, although it is in the treasury, is often there. Insufficient, last year I ordered Wei Huan to investigate, but later I was too sympathetic and entrusted A Yang to take care of it, and she played tricks on it, guarding herself and stealing, I already felt that there was a difference, A Yang had been serving me since I was born. The merits of childcare, and the years of qualifications, and the many years of affairs, all depended on her to handle them. She was suddenly dismissed, fearing that people's hearts would be unstable, so she didn't dare to make a big move, so she had to promote Wei Huan, and she was A Yang's rival. Wei Huannian The resources are too small to convince the masses, so they are more intimate and use false authority."

My mother squinted at me, and I had already reached this point, so I could only continue: "I am confused, thinking that Ayangfu and Zi are both officials, and they are also nurses. To her, I am the king. Song Foyou is the person in front of A Niang, and he is also a gentleman, he must be obeyed in business affairs, but it is not easy to entrust her to do some small things; only Wei Huan, who is neither famous nor outstanding, Entering the palace is lucky, and all gains and losses depend on me, and it is most convenient to order her, so I get closer to her every day——I only care about my own convenience, but I have forgotten the principles of self-cultivation, being close to the virtuous and far away from sycophants. It's my big crime, I beg my mother to give me divine justice." After finishing speaking, I lowered my head again, preparing to kowtow a few times if it doesn't work, but fortunately, my mother didn't get angry again, she just lifted my shoulder with her hand, Forced me to stand up straight.

The anger on her face has long since faded, and she seemed to have a bit of appreciation and a bit of regret on her face. She touched my face vigorously, her hands were extremely slow, her eyes were fixed very hard, but she was not vicious. That kind of staring, as if thinking deeply, after a long time, the mother said again: "You are young, is there any private matter that you can't entrust Song Foyou to do?"

I was stunned, I didn't know why my mother asked this question, the question was really private, and I didn't know how to answer it, so I stammered: "It's all trivial, it doesn't matter." When my mother saw it, I could only half-truth and half-truth : "It's... a private matter of my daughter's family."

My mother brushed her clothes thoughtfully, got up, and said lightly: "You should remember the truth you just said." When she was speaking, she took out a roll from her sleeve and threw it in front of me. I opened it and read it. Seeing that there are dossiers of people who have stolen and sold property in Ye court. Where did the matter originate, who reported it, and who interrogated it, and the confession, property details, and people involved are all listed one by one, but the signature at the end of the volume is not Ye. The court order, but: Chen Zuo Jinwuwei General Qiu Shenji bowed his head and bowed again.

Mother had already stepped down and stepped onto the stage, and I hurriedly pulled up the scroll and followed in a hurry.The wind blew over, and my back was icy cold. It turned out that in a short period of time, my shirt was already drenched with sweat.
