Chapter 17 17. The Ruler Cloth Dou Millet
"A foot of cloth can still be sewn; a bucket of millet can still be pounded. Two brothers cannot be compatible."

This is interesting!Wang Zhi thought about it, picked up a pen and began to copy this passage.

Living in Jiaofangdian, copying and reciting the Tao Te Ching with Empress Dou every day, gradually finding fun in boredom.

Hanli, the fonts mostly have "vertical" "heavy strokes" with long trailing strokes, which are chic and elegant.Lift the pen and hang the wrist, hold your breath and move the pen, all done in one go.

Maybe, in this Jiaofangdian, one can become a calligrapher!Wang Zhi looked at his work proudly.

"Xiao'er, are you practicing calligraphy again?" Queen Dou asked.

"My mother, my son feels that I am improving every day, I have memorized the scriptures, and I have practiced my calligraphy well!" Wang Yi quickly responded, "After learning from my mother, my heart is as calm as water, and I am peaceful and happy. It really cultivates my mind and character!"

"Well, you are spiritual!" Empress Dou praised.

"Empress Liang Di recites the scriptures aloud every day, saying that it is for the unborn baby!" Zhang Nanny also laughed beside her.

"Yes, this is called prenatal education!" Wang Zhi said with a smile, "I want my baby to learn the scriptures and feel the mystery of Huang Lao!"

"Mistress Liang also taught sister Zhen'er and me how to read and recite scriptures!" Seeing Empress Dou praising her master, Xue'er also showed her hospitality, "The empress said that when the son is born, we can also study with him!"

"Yes! Huang Lao's way is to spread it!" Empress Dou smiled and nodded.

"Queen! My child comes to worship!" Prince Liu Qi came in.

"Emperor, my son is a gentle and virtuous mother, and the son she conceived must be extremely intelligent!" Empress Dou praised her son.

Liu Qi looked at Wang Zhi and smiled tenderly.

What a joke!Your mother is so big!But do you know what your blind mother will do every day for this praise!Wang Zhi secretly said in his heart.

"You practice calligraphy every day? Come, let's take a look at your calligraphy!" Liu Qi sat down.

Xue'er hurried to the table and came over with Wang Zhi's "calligraphy works".

"That's right, there are no balls of black ink!" Liu Qi opened it up with a smile, and suddenly frowned.

"What is this writing?!" He roared and jumped up, throwing the letter to the ground!

Everyone was taken aback!
Xue'er quickly picked it up, and read curiously: "A foot of cloth can still be sewn; a bucket of millet can still be pounded. The two brothers..."

"Slap the mouth!" Empress Dou was also furious, and slapped on the desk!
Nanny Zhang waved her hand, and the two maids clamped down on Xue'er and slapped her face!
"The Empress, spare your life! Your Highness, the Crown Prince, spare your life!" Xue'er cried, her mouth was bleeding!

Wang Zhi was terrified!She clumsily knelt down and cried, "The empress mother spares her life! Your Highness spares her life! Xue'er, she did something wrong, let the concubine punish her! Don't hit me! Don't hit me!!"

Zhen'er also knelt beside her, crying and kowtowing.

Liu Qi stared at Wang Zhi with fire in his eyes: "Why did you write this?! Who asked you to write it?!"

"The concubine doesn't know..." Realizing that the situation was wrong, Wang Zhi trembled all over, "It's just on the desk, and the concubine copied it casually..." She really didn't know what was wrong with copying these few words!

"Want to die?!" Liu Qi came up and kicked her down!

"Your Majesty!" Zhen'er rushed over to support Wang Zhi, "Your Highness, please forgive me! Your Majesty is pregnant with a son!"

"Bitch Wang Zhi!" Empress Dou yelled sharply, "I asked you to memorize the Tao Te Ching, where did you copy those bastard words?! You have evil intentions!"

Wang Zhi fell on the ground, terrified: "The concubine doesn't know! I really don't know!"

"Come on! Throw that bitch Wang Zhi into Yongxiang!" Queen Dou gritted her teeth and said.

A eunuch came up and set up Wang Zhi!

"Slow!" Zhen'er shouted, wiping away her tears, "Empress Empress, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Empress Liang's book case has always been cleaned up by the maid every day! It is the maidservant's fault for the empress to copy the crime! It has nothing to do with the empress! The empress has the royal blood, please save the empress! The maid is willing to die to apologize!"

Zhen'er kowtowed to Wang Zhi, then got up suddenly, and slammed her head into the wall!
"Zhen'er!" Wang Zhi exclaimed loudly, and was thrown to the ground by the eunuch.

He fell on the ground and wanted to get up to help Zhen'er, but his body was bulky and he struggled to crawl a few times. Wang Yan watched helplessly as Zhen'er fell three steps away, with blood on his head and face. He grinned at her and wanted to smile, but his eyes slack off...

"No! Zhen'er..." Wang Zhi cried out heart-piercingly!

"Sister Zhen'er! Sister Zhen'er!" Xue'er cried and crawled over, supported Wang Zhi, and watched Zhen'er's miserable situation together, crying bitterly.

"Empress! Your Royal Highness!" Xue'er wiped the blood and tears from her face, and said angrily, "Empress Liang has a heavy body and has never been out of this Jiaofang Palace! She has a pure heart, treats people kindly, and never has any evil intentions! Your Majesty really doesn't know about the offensive words!"

"It's the servant girl who is not taking good care of the empress! All the faults are on the maidservant! It has nothing to do with the empress! Please punish the maidservant, the queen empress and the crown prince!"

"Hmph! What a staunch maid!" Empress Dou sneered, "Go to Yongxiang with your master to weave cloth and pound millet!"

Wang Zhi looked at Liu Qi, and Liu Qi turned around indifferently again!What about protecting me for the rest of my life?

"Zhen'er!" Wang Zhi was dragged out by the eunuch, and seeing Zhen'er's dead body lay cold, his heart ached!Abdominal pain like colic!

"Ah!~~It hurts so much!" Wang Zhi couldn't help moaning.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is about to give birth!" shouted Xue Er who was following behind!
"Quickly pass on the female doctor!" Seeing Wang Yi's skirt stained with blood, Liu Qi shouted!
"Bring the female doctor!" Nanny Zhang shouted in a panic!

"Ping'er! My precious daughter!" Wang Zhi lay crying on the wet and cold floor of a room in Yongxiang.

Is it retribution?She left Jin Su behind and never cared about her original body's daughter.Ke Ping'er...it was the little life she conceived in October, conceived day by day, connected by blood!But the flesh and blood are separated!
"Your Majesty! Don't cry, don't cry! I just gave birth and my body is weak, so I can't do this!" Xue'er cried, gathered up the hay, and put it under Wang Zhi's body.

"I just want to see my daughter..."

Wang Zhi remembered that she begged Nanny Zhang: "Mommy, tell Your Highness! My daughter is called Ping'er, and I want her to grow up safely!"

"Hey! Wang Liangdi, the queen of the child will be raised by the concubine. Don't worry!" Nanny Zhang sighed, "You absolutely shouldn't, you shouldn't have copied those few lines of the ballad! It's been so hard to calm down the forgotten ballad, why are you so angry?" Get it out!"

It turned out that this was the hidden pain of the royal family!

Huainan King Liu Chang was the youngest son of Gaozu Liu Bang, the only surviving younger brother of Emperor Wen, and one of the original candidates for the throne.

Liu Chang is arrogant and domineering, lawless.Not only did he blatantly kill the Marquis of Piyang to judge Shiqi, but he also drove away the officials arranged by the court for the Huainan Kingdom, reappointed himself, and even made 94 marquises without authorization.

Liu Chang became more and more presumptuous.Emperor Wen sent someone to write a letter to teach Liu Chang.But Liu Chang gathered his troops to conspire to rebel.

It's a pity that before taking action, the matter was exposed. Emperor Wen was kind and sent someone to arrest Liu Chang to Chang'an. He only dismissed his prince and sent him to the barbaric land of Shu.

The young and energetic Liu Chang died of a hunger strike.Emperor Wen cut off all the county magistrates who did not urge King Huainan to eat along the way!

Afterwards, this ballad spread inexplicably: "A foot of cloth can still be sewn; a bucket of millet can still be pounded. Two brothers cannot be compatible."

It means: one foot of cloth can still be sewn together for clothing.A bucket of millet can still be pounded and eaten together.With the vastness of the world, the Liu brothers are incompatible because of competing for the interests of the throne!
The dissemination of this ballad is due to someone's ulterior motives, which is aimed at Emperor Wen's plan to cut down the feudal vassal.Everyone's mouths make money, and Emperor Wen, who is so angry that he calls himself "Ming Jun", will also die on a hunger strike!I had no choice but to swallow my anger and shelve the plan to cut down the feudal clan...

"Xue'er, have you heard of the ballad I copied?" Wang Zhi asked softly, wiping away tears.

"No," Xue'er cried, "I entered the palace at the age of 9, and I never knew about this song..."

"Then, someone has ulterior motives! Put that bamboo slip on my desk. Use our ignorance and simplicity to anger the prince and queen!"

Wang Zhi gritted his teeth bitterly.She was tricked again!
