The Red Chamber is not a dream

[Chapter 130] The prince enthralled by the picture enthuses his mind, and the old minister who is afraid of committing crimes goes to the underworld

Now let's not show his affairs for the time being, and talk about the affairs of the court.Because the Pyu Kingdom is currently at war with Siam, it is necessary to ask for a lot of money and food as a means of relying on it; therefore, it has harassed the Dacheng border more wantonly; now the Shangyue also knows what happened, and ordered the third prince to go to the border to supervise the war, and Wei Ruolan As his deputy, he pursued and suppressed them together.This move was in the hands of the third prince, so he gladly accepted the order, packed up his luggage, and hurried to the border.

Wei Zheng knew that the border crisis was very serious, and he knew that the present was no longer willing to tolerate it, and felt that it was a difficult time. It was a time of anxiety; he also heard that the present general's son, Wei Ruolan, was also sent to join the third prince. Come here, even more uneasy.When the third prince arrived at De's army, he said to him: "Third Highness, the border is tight now, and the Pyu country is in a state of being able to make progress; Your Majesty has ordered to intensify the pursuit, but how can it be good?" He laughed and said: "Father is far away, how about this place, can he see it? It's just what we say. Besides, it's not a good place to go here; it's not worth it if you don't want it."

Hearing what the third prince said, Wei Zheng felt relieved, and said to himself, "Sooner or later, His Highness the Third Prince will ascend the throne, besides, 'the sky is high and the emperor is far away', since I have said this, can I offend him for nothing?" Put this matter aside for now.In a few days, the soldiers of the Piao Kingdom plundered and retreated by themselves; Wei Zheng was overjoyed, so he discussed with Zhao Pengyu, and said to the third prince: "Sure enough, the third prince has a plan. Now they don't need a single soldier. Then I retreated." The third prince was pleased with himself, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, it's better to ask for credit." Several people agreed, and it was true that "the barbarians fled in anticipation, and the great victory of the army" was not mentioned.

Let's talk about Beijing and China.That room received the frontier battle report from today, looked at it once, laughed angrily, and said to Jinyu, "Come and see." The Pyu Kingdom has withdrawn its troops recently, it's just that they were scared away." Jinshang sighed, "If you weren't still here, wouldn't this country be buried for him?" Yuyu said solemnly, "My minister is terrified. Now it is still up to Father to be in charge. Besides, I never grew up in the palace when I was young, so naturally I am not good at this, although I have learned some things from Father these years, I still have no bottom line."

Hearing Yunyu's words today, he sighed twice, and said, "Zhen'er needn't be overly modest. Even when your second elder brother was here, he was not as good as you. Let's say something inappropriate now; fortunately your second elder brother has passed away." If he is gone, if he is still here, I don’t know where you and your brothers will be. Even if you are kind in nature, it’s hard to keep others from thinking about it. It’s still not good to push it away. At first, I only sighed that the blood was weak, but now Only then did I realize that this is the best way; lest brothers kill each other and kill each other again."

Yunyu heard that what Jin Shang said had touched the thoughts of the previous life, so she said in a low voice, "What Emperor Father said is true. However, if elder brother is still alive, I will naturally help with all my heart, and I don't dare to think about him again." Jin Shang sighed "Zhen'er is the most like the late emperor. If you take this seat in the future, I'm afraid you will be better than me, and I don't know." While talking, seeing Yunyu was about to speak, he waved his hand and said: "This is I sincerely say, you don’t have to think about it. Now that I am old, how many more days can I have? Besides, I have often dreamed of your mother these days. I think he is lonely there, and he misses me so much. Promise Soon, I will go to accompany him. I will be happy to tell him about your current situation at that time."

Yunyu heard the ominous words today, and saw that her eyes were slightly red, she knew that she had been moved by her true feelings, she couldn't help being shocked, and said to herself: "It turns out that Your Majesty is an infatuated person. It's a pity that I am in the royal family and can't do it by myself." ; If not, maybe the same former empress is also a couple of gods and immortals." Such a slight feeling of pity, so he didn't make a sound, just stood by and waited silently.Today I came out of my mind and saw Yunyu standing there with a look of concern on her face. She hurriedly sighed, "Sit down now. I just miss your mother too much. Because of this, I don't need to Worried, let’s look at these first.” So he checked the battle report submitted below with him, no problem.

Let's say that Xiang Weizheng and Zhao Pengyu sent back the good news and taught people, thinking that they could sit back and relax; who knows that in less than two months, the Pyu country invaded again with thousands of people; .Because he wrote a letter to Dacheng again, classifying many places on the border as the territory of the Pyu country; Wei Zheng saw that there was nothing to hide, and he must panic, so he asked the third prince for orders to send troops.The third prince still didn't take it seriously, seeing Wei Zheng and others persuading him again and again, he sneered and said: "That place is nothing but a barbaric land, why not cut it off with them? Now I am writing a letter to my father, saying that it is Piao country I want to fix it, but I just want to assign this place to them. The father's house is kind-hearted, and he doesn't want the people to suffer, so he will definitely agree."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng was silent, and when he went back to his room, he said to Wei Ruolan: "I didn't know that the third prince thought like this. Now if he really acts according to what he said, he will inevitably disappoint the people here; It's just that if you don't obey him, so what?" Wei Ruolan heard what his father said, and said: "That's all. Anyway, we obey orders; what are we afraid of?" Wei Zheng sighed: "The third prince has not ascended the throne yet, Logically speaking, one still has to obey His Majesty's orders. Kuang Majesty is a wise king; after all, the third prince is younger, and although he will definitely ascend the throne in the future, the means are not enough now, and Kuang doesn't care about the common people. How heavy." As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh.

Wei Ruolan heard his father's words, she was speechless for a while, and thought to herself: "The days to come will be very long; anyway, we will be monarchs and ministers with His Highness the Third Highness." ’, so I don’t care too much.” Wei Zheng saw that he was silent, looked at his face once, and sighed for a long time: “You are still young and different from us; it’s just that what happens in the future is out of our control I have no choice but to take a step and see." So the two went back to their rooms to rest, and they were speechless for the time being.

But he said that the third prince really wrote a letter and went to Beijing. The reason is that the Pyu country intends to retreat without a fight, but just wants to take the area around Buli to itself; Will pass to avoid swordsmen.As soon as this book was published, I felt pity for the people and agreed to it; who knows that I was furious after reading it, and ordered him to return to Beijing immediately, ordering Wei Zheng and Zhao Pengyu to pursue and suppress them with all their strength, without any mistakes .

The third prince was going to praise him today, but who knew the result would be like this, he was shocked and angry, but he couldn't help it, so he could only think to himself: "Anyway, it's been agreed with them, now it's just a matter of telling them to go back first. It won’t be too late to join them when I get to the great position someday.” So he thought about it, and asked his confidant to pass the word on to the Pyu country, so he packed his bags and went back to Beijing.

Now only Weizheng and Zhao Penghai are left in this room, because the third prince is not there, and fearing that he will be punished today, he has to call up [-] soldiers to fight against the Pyu Kingdom.Unexpectedly, the Hu soldiers are all good at swimming and fighting. Although Dacheng has recovered many places one after another, he didn't wipe out many barbarians, but was caught in an ambush once and defeated many soldiers.Hearing the news today, he was extremely furious, and urgently ordered Feng Yan to go out of Beijing, demote Wei Zheng to investigate, and taught the local army to obey Feng Yan's orders.

Just as the guard received the order, he sighed, "I've ruined my reputation for the rest of my life. It's always my detriment. If I have this result today, I can't blame anyone else. I'm already benevolent." In the room, the strategy against the enemy was sorted out, waiting for Feng Yan to explain it to him when he came; To be the head coach? My father is highly respected in the army, and he is comparable there." Wei Zheng said, "Don't give in to him. Even though he has no talent, he is also the candidate selected by the government today. Who can say no to it? This son is a talented young man, he is naturally better than others." After sorting out all these things, he handed it over to Wei Ruolan and said, "When he comes, you hand it over to him. Now the emperor has become suspicious of me. , if you don’t do it again, it may bring disaster to your family.”

When Wei Ruolan heard his father's words, she was startled and puzzled, and said, "What does father mean by that?" Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "What's the meaning there? Thunder, rain, dew are all benevolent to you; just obey the destiny." For a moment After finishing speaking, he sent Wei Ruolan away, thinking to himself: "If it hadn't happened, I wouldn't have known that the third prince is such a person. I regret that I acted according to what he said on that day, causing a lot of harm. Innocent soldiers and civilians, if they are questioned today, they will definitely be questioned, if they kill themselves first, or they can keep the whole family." Thinking about it, he pulled out his saber and killed himself.

But Feng Yan just arrived at the army on the second day; when he first heard that Wei Zheng was dead, he couldn't help being extremely surprised, but he also sighed once, and immediately told people to report to Beijing to know.It was heard today that Wei Zheng committed suicide, but he couldn't help it, so he had to order Wei Ruolan to help the coffin back to Beijing first.After traveling for several days before arriving, Wei Ruolan went to the palace to plead guilty; today, thinking that Wei Zheng had just died, he has not been investigated for delaying the battle, so Wei Ruolan was instructed to go home and bury Wei Zheng first.Everyone in the Wei Mansion heard the news of the funeral, and they all wept loudly; Jia Yin changed his focus on filial piety, and devoted himself to taking care of his father-in-law's funeral.

Yun Yu and Xue Die also sighed when they heard the news of Wei Zheng's death.Xue Die then said: "This person is not bad at all, but he was a little indecisive and died." Yunyu said: "But he can't help himself; he just wants to be like this, and he can't change it. It's just that this person still has something in his heart. All the people in the world, His Majesty thinks about him, and he will never offend his family again. I'm afraid his son has other thoughts; we have to be careful in the future." Xue Die nodded and revealed the matter. I have nothing to say.

The author has something to say: I have finally written it here, so I can explain the previous setting for Wei Ruolan.

All speculations about the relationship between Wei Ruolan and Shi Xiangyun come from Zhi Yanzhai's annotations, and only one name of Wei Ruolan appears in the original text.However, my personal opinion is that the so-called "zhiben" is very likely to be forged. I discussed this issue with a teacher who studies Hongxue before, and found a lot of arguments, that is, the Zhiben was forged by later generations. Zhiyanzhai has no close relationship with Mr. Cao himself; therefore, I have reservations about the view that Wei Ruolan is the "Prince Wang and Sun" in "The Prince of Wang and Grandson Sighs for Missing Fate".

To put it simply, there are many spring and autumn brushwork in Cao Gongwen, and the names of people often use homonyms to express the characteristics of the characters. There are many examples, so there is no need to give them. The word "Ruolan" has a good meaning, but this person's surname is "Wei"; can it be considered a homonym for "Wei Ruolan"?Of course, it may be an over-interpretation. After all, Cao Gong’s thoughts on that day are no longer testable, but I just want to say that setting Wei Ruolan, who only appeared in the original book, as a "talent" in some people's minds. The appearance of "Mao Xianlang" has been carefully thought out, and it is not written casually.

Because this is just writing about the same people, so I don’t get out the arguments that I sorted out at that time. At that time, it was very laborious to get the materials. I can rely on this to make a living, everyone is tearing up and tearing up, all kinds of rebuttals are very funny; but although everyone has different ideas, when refuting others, they will always come up with more reasonable arguments, and generally they will not spit out whatever they want Leave it like this... But the humanities are another matter. If you really want to do a serious research, it may be better to chat with someone who has a certain foundation in red studies.

In fact, I did this analysis systematically for a period of time before, but it was not finished, and my major in university was not this, so I put it aside later.Writing this article does have a little basis for the analysis at the time, but I didn’t follow that path completely. I added a lot of my own brain holes, and some of the brain holes are actually completely absent in the book, such as the section about Jing Huan Xiangu.

I found that I wrote a long paragraph, probably a lot of friends are impatient to read this 2333 and remember the serious years.
