1619 The leaves have not fallen, the autumn is known
Some people sadly discover that they have never seen a person clearly until the end of their lives. But those people have never thought about it, why did he look at it with all his heart?
What he saw was just what he wanted to see.
When Zhao Ji lamented his dream of ten years, except for a few people, no one knew what Zhao Ji was lamenting.
Shen Yue knew that Zhao Ji was lamenting the ten years of captivity.
Wealth and honor seek cultivation; poverty and humbleness seek virtue.
But cultivation is something that is hard for ordinary people to find, and virtue is something deep within one’s bones. Zhao Ji has always felt that he is talented and well-educated. After being held captive for ten years, Zhao Ji, who has always been living in the dream of wealth and enjoyment, rarely sees something clearly. .
If there is a woman in the harem who can reach the rank of noble concubine or virtuous concubine, most of the time it means that the emperor loves her.
But Zhao Ji's attitude towards the suggested concubine Wang Guifei and the concubine Wang Yuegong had already shown that he suddenly didn't like these women.
If a woman doesn't like a man she was obsessed with, it will take a long time to see through the man's true nature. But even after seeing through the man, she still wants to take on the responsibility of saving the man and hopes to start over. But if a man doesn't like a woman, many men don't like a woman. Time is just a moment.
When Wang Guifei heard the emperor's inquiry and saw Zhao Ji muttering to himself, she felt that everything was completely unbelievable, "I don't know the emperor's intention. The emperor and the queen have always taught the harem to live in harmony, and I have always been on good terms with Yue Gong. The Holy One also knows it."
Zhao Ji said calmly, "I want to ask you, was what Wang Yuegong did today under your instructions?"
The royal concubine's beauty turned pale.
Zhao Ji's words just now could be said to be an inquiry, but now his tone is no different from an accusation.
Confused and confused for a moment, Wang Guifei forgot to answer.
Zhao Ji looked at Concubine Wang and said slowly, "The Concubine and the Queen were originally subordinates of the Queen Mother. When I was still King Duan, you two were responsible for my daily life every time I went to see the Queen Mother."
Concubine Wang Guifei said, "Your Majesty..." She knew that Zhao Ji was right, but she didn't know why Zhao Ji said these things at this time.
"At that time, you and the Queen were like sisters."
Zhao Ji recalled, "Since I came to the throne, Queen Mother Xiang has rewarded you two to me. You two know everything about me."
Concubine Wang Gui was panic-stricken. She was panic-stricken because Zhao Ji suddenly sobered up a lot.
"Because we understand each other, the actions of the two of you are mostly in line with my wishes."
Zhao Ji slowly added, "Because I feel very comfortable when facing you, so I always treat you two differently."
Even Empress Zheng felt uneasy.
"The Queen is virtuous, knowledgeable, and can speak the truth." Zhao Ji glanced at Queen Zheng, "That's why I always trust the Queen."
Empress Zheng bowed slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your recognition."
Zhao Ji looked at Wang Guifei, "You are still dissatisfied that the queen met me at the same time as you, but my status is always above you."
Concubine Wang looked panicked and said, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing this."
"Really?" Zhao Ji asked back.
Everyone secretly thought that no one is a sage, but even sages are jealous. If the concubine Wang Guifei said she was not jealous of the queen, it would be a lie.
There were slight beads of sweat on Wang Guifei's forehead. She obviously didn't understand why the always somewhat confused emperor suddenly became sharp.
Not hearing Concubine Wang's response, Zhao Ji did not press the question, but simply said, "You two know me very well, but I actually have a very deep understanding of you two."
Empress Zheng was slightly surprised, but Concubine Wang was even more uneasy.
Shen Yue saw the expressions in their eyes and knew that one had a clear conscience and the other had a ghost in his heart.
"In terms of beauty, the queen is actually only average in the harem." Zhao Ji said slowly.
Queen Zheng lowered her head.
Zhao Ji said in a deep voice, "But when it comes to sincerity towards me, the queen is definitely the number one person in my mind."
Empress Zheng suddenly raised her head, unable to conceal the joy in her eyes, but then she said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. Many of the other concubines are sincere to the Emperor."
Zhao Ji just smiled, with a hint of loneliness in his smile.
In the past, he could not understand the meaning behind Queen Zheng's words. But now, he naturally understands that since there are people who are sincere to him, there are also people who are false to him.
"I am the Son of Heaven. It is difficult to distinguish the sincerity of people around me. When I am in trouble, I can clearly see the true feelings and false intentions."
Shen Yue thought to himself, Zhao Ji, after living for so many years, finally understood this simple truth.
Most of the courtesy in the world is based on status, while the true feelings of the world are based on love.
The reason is simple, but few people can really see through it.
Zhao Ji was imprisoned in Northern Xinjiang for many years. Even his relatives around him criticized him a lot. The person who never left him at that time was probably Empress Zheng, whom Zhao Ji admires now.
"Wang Guifei..."
Zhao Ji looked at Wang Guifei, as if looking at the air, "I know that you have always wanted to sit in the queen's position, but I am angry that the queen is above you."
Concubine Wang's lips curled up, but she didn't say anything.
She suddenly discovered that the man she thought she could play with in the palm of her hand had become extremely strange to her and could even devour her at any time!
"So when the queen chooses a husband for the princess, something goes against common sense. You think this is an opportunity to overthrow the queen."
Seeing what Wang Guifei was about to say, Zhao Ji waved his hand to stop, "Let me continue."
The royal concubine was panic-stricken.
Zhao Ji continued, "But you know that I don't like disputes in the harem, and most yearn for freedom. Therefore, you have always been virtuous and kind. You want to imitate the generosity of the queen, so naturally you will not take the initiative to provoke. At least, you will not take the initiative to provoke. The appearance of.”
Concubine Wang suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know who is speaking ill of me behind my back. I am really unjust."
When she spoke, she looked at the Queen, secretly thinking that the Holy Emperor always had great trust in her, and there would be no one else but Queen Zheng who could make the Holy Emperor say such serious words.
Zhao Ji sighed softly, "Although you are like a virtuous and virtuous lady, it is a pity that you never know the true meaning of virtuous and virtuous lady. The Queen only likes me because she has never said anything bad about any of you in these years. "
Empress Zheng's hands trembled slightly, excited for her husband's sobriety.
Everyone is somewhat disbelieving.
Zhao Ji slowly looked at the concubines, "Because you always like to stir up trouble, you don't believe that there are people in this world who are not talkative. It's just like... a person spends all day scheming, but never believes that others' hearts are like the moon."
The concubines couldn't answer the conversation, and wouldn't they turn into gossips as soon as they started talking?
Zhao Ji said slowly, "Although the queen is very kind to you, Wang Guifei, you don't want to miss the opportunity to overthrow the queen. So you instruct Wang Yuegong to launch an attack..."
Wang Yuegong's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he could not speak.
"Wang Yuegong received your instruction and also wanted to go further, so he mentioned this matter in front of Sui'er."
At that moment, Zhao Ji's eyes were extremely clear, "It's the parents' fault if they don't educate their children. I have never set an example in front of many children. Wang Yuegong, you also thought that I was just a confused king who couldn't tell right from wrong, so you decided to help Wang Guifei Win the title of Queen."
Wang Yuegong shivered.
All the concubines were surprised.
A group of princesses also looked worried.
"What happened after that is easy to explain."
Zhao Ji said calmly, "King Yi provoking Mr. Shen is just your first step. By attacking Concubine Qiao and Qiao Yun, attacking the Queen is what you have to do."
