    Aunt Liu also took advantage of the situation and interjected: "What my sister said is absolutely true. Xiao Sanlang scolded me very much today, but those crazy dogs from the Wu family will not let it go. As I see it, I must think of a way to take precautions as soon as possible."  . Also, if something happens in our East Palace, Your Majesty will always know it within three days. I think there is either a traitor or a spy in our palace, and we must find out!"

    "Hey, you two, how can you understand that at this time, you have to say nothing to anyone and trust no one, so as to prevent those people from grabbing the pigtails and planting random accusations.  Too much talk leads to mistakes, you all don't understand this simple truth!" Snow is not necessarily white; benevolence and cowardice do not mean ignorance, my father Wang Dan said with a long sigh.

    How could he not understand that the words of the two good wives were heartfelt and insightful, but he understood even more that his own intelligence and strategic power were no match for his mother Wu Zhao. In a head-on confrontation,  You can only beat yourself up and destroy yourself!

    Memories, if you peel off the cocoons, peel off the scars in your heart layer by layer, they will be bloody!  I still remember that among his seven brothers, except for the second brother who died of illness and the seventh brother who was demoted, the other five brothers all died because of their opposition to his mother. It was too terrible and cruel!

    Therefore, during this sensitive period when his mother was in power in Wuzhou, during this arrogant stage when the Wu family's children and ruthless villains were acting domineeringly, any strategy was in vain, any action was just to make people feel uncomfortable, and any words were just to bring trouble. In the end,  Okay - the best policy is to do nothing, say nothing, and be careful with your words and actions.

    He was born in Chang'an in the first year of Longshuo, Emperor Gaozong, and was named "Xulun"; in the second year of Emperor Gaozong's general chapter, "Lun" was abandoned as the single name "Xu"; in the second year of Emperor Yifeng, he was named "Dan"; in the first year of Emperor Wu's Tianshou, he was renamed "Lun"  "His status was changed by his mother at will just like his name. Maybe this is the reason for his kind, weak and cowardly character!

    He still remembered that when he was twenty-two years old, his mother, the Queen of Heaven at that time, ordered Wu Chengsi to send an edict to the East Palace and make him emperor. He repeatedly pleaded, saying that he had no talent, no virtue, and was not qualified for the job, but he  My mother directly decided that he would be the emperor!

    There was no grand enthronement ceremony, no congratulations from courtiers, and no contact with foreign ministers. He became the puppet emperor and was imprisoned in the East Palace for six full years!

    During this period, his mother had offered to return the government to him. He understood that she was just being polite and was determined not to accept her words. She even went on a hunger strike to show her determination. Therefore, his mother continued to visit this court and proclaim this system until he abolished the Tang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty as emperor.  He also expressed his support and asked for the surname Wu, and gave up the nominal emperor's position to his mother, who also made him an heir.

    In short, he, Li Dan, is like a puppet in his mother's hands. He laughs, cries, walks or stops, all according to the needs of the current situation. He shakes the threads in his hands at will, and is still controlled by my mother!

    "However, the emperor's heir still has the meaning of inheriting the throne in the future, which is not tolerated by the military forces. Besides, his mother, Emperor Wu, created the world of Wu Zhou. Can he, named Li, be allowed to inherit it?  If his mother wanted to depose him, what sad end would he end up with?  How about compared to his brothers?  What about his children, heirs, wives and concubines?  He didn't care at all.

    " Just like today, when I paid homage to Emperor Wu, his mother had a conversation with him.

    "Dan'er, what have you been reading recently?"

    "My dear mother, I have recently read some books on text exegesis, music, and painting."

    "Well, who has come to your East Palace recently?"

    "That's the children's teachers, Zhang said, wait a minute." With great care, he answered respectfully and cautiously.

    "Huh? I heard that Pei Gong, the Supervisor of Shangfang, and Fan Yunxian, the Chamberlain, also often go to the East Palace, Dan'er, right?" My mother seemed to have been prepared for it. Like a volcano erupting, she immediately widened her eyes and looked at her again.  He stared at him with suspicious eyes.

    "Yes, we have been there twice recently when they were discussing several laws about the origin and structure of characters with my son!" He trembled in his heart and replied with panic. It was obvious that the East Palace had my mother's spies and was all under surveillance.

    Father Wang Dan also understands that today's situation is changing rapidly, surrounded by sycophants, cruel officials, and Wu family's children. No matter how he changes, he will always be in a passive and beaten situation. Therefore, it is better to stay still and remain unchanged in this changing situation.  In the game, he was completely on the defensive, squatting like a stone tortoise, ignoring all rumors, slander and rumors from the outside world, and just keeping himself clean. Correspondingly, he also ignored all the persuasion strategies of the concubines.

    The only thing he has in his heart is the superior mother who controls the fate of him, his wife and their children. He thinks carefully about every word and deed of his mother, treats it with caution, and is not careless, even her words, eyes, and words.  Gestures can take him a long time to think about in order to respond appropriately.

    When he came back today, it was not his mistress who was upset and worried.Lang angrily rebuked Wu Yizong and Ji argued that Emperor Wu was in the limelight. His father, Wang Dan, knew in his heart that his mother preferred people with this kind of temper from the bottom of her heart, especially since the child was still young and could not pose a threat to anyone. Therefore, it was not necessarily a disaster, but  , The rough ones are easy to break, and the bright ones are easy to stain. From now on, I must remind Saburo to "hide the front".

    As for who is the traitor in the East Palace and who is the spy, he really needs to discuss it with the concubines. I am afraid that if they are not strict with their words, they will be self-defeating and make the matter passive. No matter what, he must speak today.

    "Since you want me to make up my mind, I'll just tell you."

    As the stars lit up, his father, Wang Dan, raised his head and looked directly at his aunt and mother, with perseverance on his cowardly face.

    "It's just three points. This, the Mother Queen, her old lady's orders, no matter how big or small, no matter whether we are willing or not, willing or not, even if it costs our lives, we must obey her words, everything she said.  , Even small things as small as sesame seeds must be done as big things. You must understand that the fate of us people in the East Palace sometimes depends on the mother and the emperor's thoughts. "

    After pondering for a while, his father Wang Dan then said: "The second thing is to let the children not care about state affairs and political affairs, and arrange for them to learn ancient calligraphy, official script, music, painting, and even farm work. We just don't let them get into this.  Coming out of a pool of muddy water, it is better to be born in peace and security.¡±

    "But they are princes!"

    Mother Dou, who deeply disapproved of this method of raising her children, immediately intervened, but her father Wang Dan waved her hand to stop her!

    "You, since you asked me to say it, don't interrupt. Regarding Saburo's matter, just now you said that all the blame lies with you, but in the blink of an eye, you don't admit it anymore. I know that no matter what I say, you won't  Understood." Father Wangdan became a little impatient.

    "Okay, okay, you say it, you say it, and we listen." Madam Liu smoothed things over.

    "Okay, third, no matter who you are in front of or behind, don't speak out of line, be careful with your words and actions. You must know that disease comes from the mouth and disaster comes from the mouth. Don't believe anyone except yourself. Remember, walls have ears." Father Wang Dan  As he spoke, his eyes narrowed, as if he had seen the eyes hidden behind him in the dark night, peering into everything.

    "Pfft -, no, look at you, a big man, how can you be less courageous than a mouse? What are you afraid of? If the sky falls, there will be earth to carry it. Besides, life and death are determined by destiny, wealth is in the sky, and the king of hell tells you to die in the middle of the night, no  Dare to keep people until the fifth watch, this is a blessing, not a curse, it is a curse that cannot be avoided, what is there to be afraid of!" Listening to the father's words, Mrs. Liu burst into laughter.

    "He has such virtues. Sister, you don't know him yet. I think we should talk about the shadow hidden in the East Palace!" Mother Dou returned to the topic.

    "Say, tell me, this is a big deal!" My mother glanced at my father, Wang Dan, and encouraged her. She seemed to have seen the man walking on the stone road in the depths of the night, pouting his face, wiping his face and powdering his face.  The fat girl running towards the East Palace quickly!

    "It must be that little slut" Mrs. Liu said harshly. She had been looking at her husband with her big round eyes all day long. She really thought that she could fly to the branches after climbing the big tree like Huang Si.  Phoenix, that bitch, she is just a girl!

    "It looks like it to me!" Mother Dou's eyes also glowed with a strange light, "Under the banner of His Majesty, running around with nonsense, I really think she is someone, she is really a villain, you can't afford to offend her.  !" He sighed in a rather strange way.

    "Hey, he's stuck, just watch, it's enough to throw him off!" Mrs. Liu said, her lips pursed, and she looked at her father, Wang Dan, with a strange expression.

    Father Wang Dan smiled bitterly, lowered his head and fell into silence.

    ¡°Auntie, what the mother is talking about is no one else, but none other than Grandma Huang¡¯s personal maid¡ªWei Tuan¡¯er, who has become Grandma Huang¡¯s confidant because of her good looks, cleverness, and dexterity. She is a very fat girl!

    On weekdays, whenever Grandma Huang had an oral message or something, she would send Wei Tuan'er to the East Palace to convey it orally. Every time, his father Wang Dan would greet Wei Tuan'er respectfully with a smile as if Grandma Huang was coming in person!

    And Wei Tuan'er is truly worthy of being the woman who follows Grandma Huang. She knows how to grab everything around her, climb up with all her strength, and change her own destiny. Every time she comes here, she rejects the concubines and maids, and is given instructions alone.  She pressed her chubby body against my father's body so hard, her affectionate energy, and her words were so disgusting that it made people's teeth ache. It was like I had an extra little girl, but I forgot that she was just a girl.  !

    " However, Wei Tuan'er is the special envoy of the Imperial Grandma, so he has to smile in response to his unhappiness.

    After a long time, his father Wang Dan raised his head and said in a low voice: "Well, if Wei Tuan'er comes again in the future, I will be able to handle it all by myself. You just need to stay far away. No matter how much trouble she makes, she can't do anything with me."  When Lang comes, you must meet her, otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to the Queen Mother!"

    I don¡¯t knowThinking of something, his father, Wang Dan, turned around and looked at Madam Liu, "And you, a few days ago, someone wanted to find a matchmaker for Cheng Qi. The woman is Wu Chengsi's daughter. Can you give it to me directly?  He refused. Do you know that this was the intention of the Queen Mother? She wanted the Li and Wu families to get married, and the EMI family to be reconciled. But you, not only refused, but you also defended Wei Tuan'er and scolded her.  Wu Chengsi, doesn¡¯t this make the Queen Mother angry and offend him, Wu Chengsi?¡±
