Wen Wan muttered, "Your Majesty, the princess said that she is not interested in this, so naturally she won't remember it. If the emperor wants to tell the county about delicious food or something rare, she can remember it immediately." Wen Wan made it clear. She said she was not interested in politics and was not born with the ability.
The emperor didn¡¯t care and waved King Zheng to go down.
Back to Yongning Palace, Wen Wan did not look through the history books or let Xia Yao explain. If you don¡¯t know, you don¡¯t know. She doesn't participate in politics, she knows what to do. The more you know, the more dangerous it is.
Xia Yao actually dislikes Wen Wan to the extreme. The princess has been in the emperor for so long and she doesn¡¯t even know these basic things? The princess was really muttering in her heart, but she explained with a smile on her face, "Princess, the cabinet was as the princess understood it at first. But starting from the emperor's hands, it changed. Now the government affairs of the imperial court are first reported to the emperor. After reviewing it, it is submitted to the cabinet, which is responsible for drafting the handling opinions, and then the ceremonial supervisor will submit the opinions to the emperor. If the emperor thinks it is appropriate, he will approve it. If it is not appropriate, the emperor will send it to them for reconsideration. After approval, the six departments will proofread and distribute it to every corner of Daqi."
It¡¯s not that Wen Wan doesn¡¯t know, it¡¯s that Wen Wan doesn¡¯t pay attention to these things at all. No one around him cared about political affairs. After Xia Yao's detailed explanation. Wen Wan finally knows what the cabinet does. To put it simply, the emperor has decision-making power, the cabinet has deliberation power, and the six ministries have executive power.
After hearing so much, Wen Wan, a political idiot, asked hesitantly, "So, this is a good thing for uncle." Looking at King Zheng's smile, you knew that this was definitely a good thing.
Xia Yao smiled and said, "Of course it's a good thing. Although the prince is said to be in charge of the six ministries, he only handles some daily matters. Big events still require the emperor's decision. Now the emperor allows the prince to go to the cabinet and indirectly allows the prince to participate in cabinet affairs. Even King Zhao has no such honor."
Wenwan glanced at Xia Yao. This woman. Do you know too much? Those who didn¡¯t know thought she had participated in politics. Otherwise, how could she have such important affairs at her fingertips, as well as the military affairs from last time? Some are weird and some are weird. Wen Wan warned herself in her heart, don¡¯t be fooled, don¡¯t be fooled again.
Xia Yao saw Wen Wan's cautiousness and unabashed defensiveness. Just laughed, no explanation.
The news that the emperor asked Prince Zheng to go to the cabinet spread immediately. Everyone is happy about the emperor's decree. Some are angry and some are motivated.
Mr. Chen said happily, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. This is extremely favorable news for us. It seems that the Emperor should be satisfied with His Majesty. Otherwise, His Majesty will not let His Majesty take one step ahead of King Zhao." After being familiar with the six parts, you will become more familiar with it. cabinet. That's just the last step. This has extraordinary significance to King Zheng's reputation.
Shen Jian was also full of smiles: "Your Majesty, this is indeed good news for us. Your Majesty is really a wise man."
When King Zheng saw them congratulating them, and then thinking of Wen Wan's confused appearance, he couldn't help but smile lightly on the ground. That girl, I don¡¯t know if she really doesn¡¯t understand or if she is pretending not to understand. According to his understanding of the girl, 90% of the time, she pretended not to understand.
This news. For King Zheng, it is indeed of great significance. Once you enter the cabinet, you will become familiar with the process of deliberation. The prince is familiar with the process of deliberation and what to do, of course, is to make plans for the future. To the courtiers, this meant that the emperor valued King Zheng more. The followers of King Zheng before were all uneasy. Now, everything is settled. There are also some officials who remain neutral. Some began to lean towards King Zheng.
Some people are proud, while others are naturally frustrated.
Seeing that Concubine Xian had received the news, Hua Qiong became uneasy and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Everything is fine now, nothing happened."
Concubine Xian said nothing. He caressed the gold finger guards on his hands. What does the emperor mean by doing this?
This time King Zheng rested at home for more than a month, and all the errands at hand were transferred to his subordinates. Now that I'm back, I not only take over the job again, but also have more opportunities to visit the cabinet. For King Zheng, this was not a punishment, but a favor.
But after her son got the job of promoting crops, the emperor sent several people in. The Emperor is weakening her son's power.
Based on her understanding of the emperor, she began to suspect that the emperor asked King Zheng to silence him in order to temper his character and observe him closely. This should be a signal that the emperor wants to reuse Prince Zheng. Unexpectedly, the result was exactly as she expected.
"Could it be said that the emperor has already chosen Lao Ba. Impossible, Concubine Xian told herself, absolutely impossible. It's because I'm overthinking it. But another thought came out of my heart, what if it is, what if the emperor chooses Lao Ba. What should she do?
Hua Qiong looked at Concubine Xian, who was confused and confused. "My queen, no matter how anxious you are, you can't rush in the moment. Your Majesty, the more you go,At this critical moment, it is even more important to calm down. My dear, you must hold still. "
Concubine Xian finally calmed down her mood, "What are Wen Wan doing recently?"
Speaking of Princess Wenwan, Hua Qiong frowned. Princess Wenwan is too quiet. I have been in the palace for such a long time and do the same thing every day. She is not a child at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is an old man. How can a child be so patient?
Concubine Xian said calmly, "Have people pay close attention to Princess Wenwan. If there is any trouble, tell me immediately."
"Wen Wanhao doesn't know that she has now become King Zhao's number one enemy, even King Zheng has to take a back seat. He said that Wen Wan was his nemesis. Look, he would give him more money as soon as he came back. King Zhao wished he could get rid of Wen Wan now. "My father still dotes on that maid as always. Is my father really old and confused?" . Mr. Zhuang, how can we get rid of that girl? I feel that if that girl is not dead, I will not be able to survive. This time, there must be something that dead girl said in front of my father."
Mr. Zhuang shook his head. Mingmou, he can't kill Wen Wan. Conspiracy, Concubine Xian did not move, and even sent a message to prevent him from moving. They had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, no matter how smart the princess is, it is impossible for her to discuss government affairs without making mistakes. Your Majesty, don't worry about this." Contrary to King Zhao, Mr. Zhuang hoped that Wen Wan would say more good things to Prince Zheng in front of the emperor, and that he would speak more favorably for Prince Zheng in front of the emperor. Seek benefits. Once or twice may not hurt, but if it takes too long, the emperor will definitely get tired of it. Just be afraid. Princess Wenwan did nothing and said nothing. That's what troubles them the most.
King Zhao was filled with hatred, but what could be done. Now the father treats Wen Wan like a baby. Now, even if he moves, he can't move this dead girl.
Because of the Prince Ning incident, the emperor saw a deep crisis. They all dared to attack him. These people should all die. imperial court. Sure enough, as King Zheng and Mr. Chen expected, a large-scale purge began. A tragedy cannot be avoided.
"The edict" The emperor issued imperial edicts one after another. How many families were destroyed just by the emperor's imperial edicts.
Wen Wan heard the decrees issued one after another to dismiss officials, jail, confiscate homes, and execute. At this time, she really wished that she was not only mute, but also deaf. With such golden forgings being issued, Wen Wan seemed to be watching the buildings of these scholarly and powerful families collapse. He is usually arrogant and arrogant. Even the servants in the family act like they are superior to others when they go out. But now, the emperor's grandfather's words caused them to fall from the clouds into the mud and into the eighteenth level of hell.
Imperial power. This is imperial power! Wen Wan remembered that there was such a passage in the history books, where the emperor was so angry that he lay dead thousands of miles away. The emperor's grandfather was angry, and many families were implicated in it. Not just a thousand miles, but ten thousand miles. The human lives here are really not lives, they are all insignificant. Perhaps, in the eyes of the emperor's grandfather. Not even as good as grass!
The emperor looked at Wen Wan and began to lower his head as soon as he heard him issue the imperial edict. He issued an imperial decree saying that the whole family was imprisoned, but Wen Wan just lowered her head unbearably. But all it takes is a decree to confiscate the house and execute someone. Wen Wan's hand was shaking unconsciously.
The emperor sighed secretly, this child is still too kind and too soft-hearted. Fortunately, this year's training was not wasted, and now I know my priorities. There was no random plea. Although the emperor was a little relieved, he was still worried that Wenwan would be nightmareed again after going through so many things. But the more this happened, the more the emperor refused to let Wen Wan leave. Just let her listen and watch, Wen Wan complained endlessly. But he didn't dare to violate the imperial edict.
That night, Wen Wan dreamed that she was beheaded. What was even more horrifying was that she watched her head roll off the execution platform and fall into the crowd. He rolled around a few times and, to his horror, kept his eyes open and looked at her with his eyes wide open.
Wenwan screamed for help, help, she didn¡¯t want to die. But my head has moved, and there is no use in calling anymore.
Wen Wan felt her head feel a little cold. She opened her eyes and saw Xia Yao, who was holding a wet towel and applying it to her forehead.
Seeing that Wen Wan had woken up, Xia Yao explained to the side, "Princess, you had a fever last night. It scared me to death. The imperial doctor originally wanted to prescribe medicine, but I didn't let him. As long as the fever subsides, Princess, there is no need to take medicine." . But if the princess still has a fever during breakfast, she will need to take medicine." This was said very tactfully, which meant that Wen Wan could not pretend to be sick. Unless she wants the medicine to make her suffer a painful death.
Wen Wan got up with a frown and punched three times. Sweated all over. Wen Wan was afraid that it wasn't enough, so she had someone bring a sword over and competed with Xia Yao all morning. Her whole body was soaked, but Wen Wan didn't give up until her body started to stink, and then she went to take a shower and have breakfast. After sweating all over, I felt much more comfortable. Doctor Wang checked Wen Wan's pulse and said it was OK.??Eating is important. But eat more nourishing things. The princess is too weak.
"When Wen Wan heard the imperial doctor say that she was weak, she wanted to hit them on the head. She was weak somewhere. She should have been replenished early. She didn't see her alive and kicking now.
Xia Yao saw that Wen Wan had eaten less during this period. After thinking about it, Nanny Chen's cooking skills were pretty good. In addition, Nanny Chen knew Wen Wan's habits very well, so she suggested to Wen Wan that Nanny Chen should be allowed into the palace. , cook more delicious food nearby and take good care of yourself.
Wen Wan thought about it for a while, and indeed, Grandma Chen¡¯s food, especially the soup, was so good. No one in the entire princess's palace did not praise him. So she nodded and let Nanny Chen enter the palace to make a midnight snack for Wen Wan.
As soon as the emperor heard that Wen Wan had a fever in the middle of the night, he didn't take any medicine. He spent a long time on his own and got rid of the fever. The emperor originally wanted to take it slow. After hearing the news, he thought he should put some pressure on this girl and force her to see more and listen more. After seeing more and listening more, he got used to it. Therefore, the emperor kept Wen Wan by his side.
Wenwan¡¯s current life is truly like a year. She really didn't want to see these things, it was too cruel, too cruel. As long as she closed her eyes, she would see countless chops. then. A series of heads fell to the ground.
For several days, Wen Wan relied on tranquilizers to sleep. Otherwise, I will definitely wake up. After a few days, my originally round face suddenly became sunken. Wen Wan looked in the mirror and found that her face had become thinner, and she smiled.
Xia Yao was worried to death, seeing Wen Wan being so proud. He said he finally lost weight. I can't laugh or cry.
The emperor has long noticed that every time Wen Wan hears about murder, especially when she outlines executions, exile of the whole family, or selling into slavery, Wen Wan lowers her head and trembles. The intention was to get her used to it. But it took several days to get used to it, and I even had to rely on decoction to fall asleep. The emperor was helpless, knowing that this girl was really going to be released. If he doesn't open up the solution, he will become a fan. Some things are better taught as early as possible. I just smoothed out this girl's thoughts and let her figure it out. That's fine. "Wan'er, you've been having nightmares every night lately. Is it because you saw too many people being killed and you were frightened?"
Seeing the emperor asking him, Wen Wan nodded, then shook her head. There must be some fear. In modern times, ten or twenty people are killed in car accidents, and all of them are broadcast on the news network. Here it is. The emperor issued an imperial edict, ranging from one person to hundreds of people. Moreover, it would leave countless children without homes or relatives. Being displaced, they have to be reduced to the pitiable fate of being a slave. But Wen Wan also knew that she could only watch and listen, not say anything. Nothing more can be done. Last time it was about Uncle Zheng. Even if she was angered, she had to bite the bullet because it was about her life and death.
"Silly girl, you won't be afraid if you get used to it. It will be fine in a few days. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about what delicious food I made for grandpa today." The emperor saw that Wen Wan was unwilling. When talking about this topic, I was originally going to explain it, but thinking about it, Wen Wan's adaptability seems to have always been very strong. Maybe it will be fine in a few days. So she turned to Wen Wan's favorite topic, food.
Wenwan is very depressed, what does it mean to get used to it? She's not planning to become a murderer. Is it normal to hear murder without batting an eyelid? Moreover, there is no need to keep her by your side to observe this kind of thing! She is not a prince, why should she be trained in this way. Wen Wan doesn¡¯t understand. But Wen Wan's mentality has always been upright, and she never gets involved in things she doesn't understand. She is weak in words and weak in heart. It is good that she can protect herself in her current situation. I can't control that much.
"Hali, winter melon and meatball porridge, have it." Wen Wan immediately changed the direction, and the emperor smiled and asked her to go down and do it. The emperor also knew that Wen Wan took care of her own food and could not trust a few people around her. The only one she trusted was Xia Yao. This is because he personally rewarded Xia Yao. The emperor still agreed with Wen Wan's caution.
Xia Ying looked at Wen Wan and seemed to be relieved, but she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. You can tell by looking at how hard he sleeps every day. The emperor let it go again, feeling anxious. If this continues, sooner or later the princess' body will be unable to bear any food. There was no other way, so Xia Ying had no choice but to tell Prince Zheng about Wen Wan's terrible situation. In this world, only the words of the Emperor and Prince Zheng could be heard by her master.
King Zheng looked at Wen Wan¡¯s rosy little face some time ago, but now it was all sunken. She was very distressed and waved everyone to go down. "Xia Ying said that during this period of time, you were dealing with the people outside for your grandfather. You had nightmares every night and couldn't sleep. Did you eat less?"
Wen Wan nodded honestly. I'm afraid, but having nightmares every day is not that scary. I used to take tranquilizers every day, but I haven¡¯t taken them since yesterday.
King Zheng pulled Wen Wan to his side and felt very distressed when he saw Wen Wan's thin and thin body. This girl has such a kind heart. If this goes on"But what should I do? "Silly girl, there is nothing to be afraid of. Their decline and destruction are not your fault and have nothing to do with you. As long as you think like this, you won't be afraid. Uncle knows that you are A good boy with a kind heart thinks that even if his family members deserve death, those women, children, and children are not guilty. You think those old people and children are innocent and should not be implicated."
Wen Wan stared at King Zheng with big eyes. She didn't tell Uncle Zheng about this, how could he know what she was thinking.
King Zheng touched Wen Wan's head: "Silly girl, what is there that your uncle doesn't know? Don't think so much, it has nothing to do with you. Wan'er, don't complain about them. This world is fair. If you want to get what you want, If they want to, they must be prepared to pay a price. Since they want to gain the wealth of the sky, they must also be prepared to pay a heavy price, which naturally includes their own lives and their families. Not only are they like this, but so are you, Wen Wan.¡±
The gentle face showed fear. She knew it, and she was afraid just because she knew it. Afraid that the path they are taking now is the path she will take in the future. She wanted to live well until she was seventy or eighty. She also had an agreement with Yan Qixuan, and she also wanted to live a happy life. She doesn't want to die in there.
King Zheng said softly, "Silly girl, success is king or defeat is bandit, that's the truth. Don't be afraid of them. This is their life, it has nothing to do with you. Don't think so much, just do what you have to do. Don't worry about these I'm worried about other things. Look, I was fine last time. It's only been a few days and I've become like this. You girl, don't worry about it so much in the future. . Do your own thing and take care of yourself, that¡¯s the most important thing, you know?¡±
Wen Wan nodded. That is, if they are not opportunistic and want to make a profit. Desire to achieve the sky-high power and obtain the sky-high wealth. But if you just do your job honestly and don't take sides, then everything will be fine. Even if she is anxious and worried and doesn't want to face it, it's of no use. They would let her go, and she would live a good old age. It¡¯s useless, it¡¯s useless.
After being outside for a year, the concept of imperial power has been forcibly implanted in her mind. This society is not the legal society of my previous life. This is a privileged class society. When you come here, you must adapt to the rules of survival here. Otherwise, you will just wait to be eliminated! Rather than eliminating yourself, it¡¯s better to eliminate others. Wen Wan quickly corrected her attitude. She sympathizes, but she is also like a Bodhisattva crossing the river and cannot protect herself. So, there was nothing she could do.
Seeing the perseverance on Wen Wan's face, King Zheng smiled and touched her head, "Just figure it out. If something happens in the future, ask someone to send a message to your uncle. Your emperor, grandpa, and your uncle are here, so you don't have to be afraid." No matter what happens in the future, at least until the emperor falls, their uncle and nephew will be safe.
Wen Wan smiled and said no, she is not that fragile: "Uncle, I will take care of myself. You should also take care of your body. Don't forget the time as soon as you start working. Get enough sleep every day and eat on time. Keep it up. With a relaxed mood, you will be in good spirits, and you will get twice the result with half the effort." Wen Wan looked at Prince Zheng's tired expression and felt worried.
King Zheng felt warm after hearing this, "Well, uncle will pay attention to it."
In this riot caused by King Ning, many officials were destroyed. Several eunuch families who were closely related to King Ning either ransacked their homes, beheaded them, or sent them into military exile. The rest were all sold. The rest of them, as long as they had the slightest connection with Prince Ning, were all implicated. Removal, demotion, dismissal, and dismissal were all considered frivolous.
Some people are frightened out of their wits. Faced with the strange and unpredictable situation of the DPRK, many people want to protect themselves wisely and do not want to get involved. Shangzhezi said that he was old and wanted to retire and return to his hometown, and some said that he was seriously ill and had to retire. Unfortunately, the emperor gave very little approval. Nine times out of ten, no approval.
Wen Wan gained another level of understanding of imperial power. In this era, you can't just give up your picks if you want. If the emperor won't let him go, you have to keep doing it even if you are exhausted. Not only do you have to bite the bullet, but you also have to be grateful. This ancient emperor was the real oppressor.
Wen Wan looked at it and sighed deeply. It turns out that in this world, as Luo Shouxunxun said before, you don't have to participate if you don't want to participate. It still depends on whether the people above agree or not. Wenwan felt sad when she thought of herself.
She understands it even now. The moment she revealed her identity at the banquet that day, her fate as a pawn on the chessboard was sealed. The previous escape and withdrawal had no effect. Thanks to her good luck, or in other words, she is a more important piece on this chessboard, and it has been so many years since she accidentally bumped into her. Wen Wan sincerely thanks God for his blessing. (To be continued)
