A Poisonous Woman from a Good Story

Shen Zhaoying was questioned by his father's name, but he hesitated and did not answer immediately. When Shen Hou saw his son, he knew that his son was moved, so he said seriously: "You think that the establishment of a dynasty or the success of a person depends on God's will? According to the words of monks and Taoists, can it be done by lying at home and sleeping? You are not too young now, and you once sat in a party and directed countless battles. What did you rely on? Is it God's will or your own wisdom and hard work? ?”

Hearing her father's affirmation, Shen Zhaoying couldn't help straightening her body, thought for a while and replied: "Son's victory in the battle is naturally based on his own true ability, but it is undeniable that sometimes the right time, place and people are indispensable. If it weren't for the help of Taoist monks, the establishment of Daqi would have been even more tortuous and difficult. If it wasn't for their demagogy, with the power of our Shen family, we might not have a chance to win the world."

Shen Hou shook his head and said: "Contesting for the world is not as simple as you think. For example, you can make achievements in the north and stabilize one side, but you may not be able to make all the heroes of the world submit. Not outsiders can see the hardships and sacrifices in it. I thought of it. Taizu's father and son were originally talented and roughly comparable to others, so they could be attached to by everyone. As for the theory of the fate of heaven, it was just icing on the cake. The heartache between the ancestor and the Taishanghuang, otherwise you think that the current emperor said that he can adopt the princes, and it is not that the Taishanghuang is comforting the hearts of the Taizu and those who have broken the hearts of the brothers, otherwise you are afraid that you will be arguing again."

After hearing this, Shen Zhaoying couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and Shen Hou continued his efforts.Said: "Furthermore, although the Shen family had a large number of people, they lived in a corner for too long, and there were not many talented people there. Your grandfather passed away early there, and your father was still young, and you had no brothers or uncles to help you. Even as a father, I didn't have any big ambitions back then. All I wanted was to keep one side safe, and to meet a wise master in the future. Help him to calm the world and let the people live and work in peace. Under such circumstances, how sure is my Shen family's success in the world? Even now, when I sum up my whole life, I also think that I am a general, not a wise king who can rule the world."

Shen Zhaoying's heart that was warmed by her grandmother's teasing gradually cooled down.Sighed: "From this point of view, the Zhuang family should really be the emperor, but since the third sister has that kind of fate, our Shen family may not have a chance."

Shen Hou sneered and said: "The emperor is now in the prime of life, and Da Qi has just gone through a series of internal and external wars. No matter whether it is the officials in the court or the common people in the market, they are all tired of the war and only want to be stable. It is Da Qi who is heading towards peace." It’s a good time to be rich and powerful, do you think you can call people to follow you to fight for the world?”

"It's just using your sister to win the emperor's favor, so what if you take the opportunity to strengthen the power of the Shen family. Now almost all the military power in the world is concentrated in the hands of the emperor. Even if there is any accident among him, the prince is young, and your sister will be in charge of the government. Does she not Pass the seat to your own son, but pass it on to your father or elder brother. And she has changed from a high-ranking empress dowager to a princess who is always worried that her children will be killed due to the struggle for imperial power? No matter how powerful she is The person who loves you is a mother after all, and with Qiu'er's usual temperament, she really doesn't take power and status very seriously, especially when she is on the opposite side of her husband and children, power is even less worth mentioning, don't you I hope she will help the Shen family win the world."

Shen Zhaoying's last little delusion was also blown away by Shen Hou at this time, and he said weakly: "It is my son who was blinded by power for a while and almost went on the wrong path. The Shen family has been brought to a point of no return."

At this moment, Shen Hou breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Beasts are easy to subdue, but people's hearts are hard to subdue. Gullies are easy to fill, but people's hearts are hard to fill. It's always good and you want to be the best. Not every title should be left to the descendants. You just have to be your Duke of Wei and don’t cause any more troubles. As for Brother Ke’er and his brothers, I think they are all ambitious and talented. To get an official position, relying on one's own ability is no better than relying on ancestral shadows. Besides, with the Shen family's large family fortune, how can it really make them run out of food and clothing? It's you, your Weiguo Didn’t you get it by yourself, being a father really didn’t help you much.”

After hearing this, Shen Zhaoying felt that what her father said was very reasonable, she couldn't help nodding her head frequently, and said for a while: "It's just that my son still has some doubts in his heart. One is that his son has already had a bad relationship with the third sister because of what happened back then. I'm afraid she won't let it go. That's all for the son, I'm afraid she will take revenge on Brother Ke'er and the others, and secondly, that incident is disgraceful. Although it has been suppressed, the emperor is the most honorable person in the world, and it will not be guaranteed after a long time I don't have any lumps in my heart, I'm afraid that not only the empress and prince will be convicted, but the Shen family will also be implicated."

"Your third sister has a good relationship with Sister Huan and her siblings, but they have knots in their hearts. At most, they don't deliberately promote them, but they definitely have no reason to retaliate." Shen Hou paused at this point, thought for a while and then said : "As for the chaos in the capital that year, the matter was handled by the emperor himself. I think he is sincere to Qiu'er. Besides, the crown prince's status has been stabilized, and the emperor has such a temper. I guess no one would dare to step forward to fight the tiger." Must."

Shen Zhaoying got these words from her father, and felt at ease. Seeing that Shen Hou had persuaded his son, he said again: "From now on, you will be your Duke in peace, loyal to the king and love the people, don't have any unreasonable thoughts, you are the emperor and queen. If you want to embarrass you, you can't find a reason. In a few years, everyone will be old. Looking back at the past, you can't say that you will just smile. Okay, you go back first, I still have something to say to your grandmother .”

Shen Zhaoying nodded in agreement, and hurriedly left.

Seeing her grandson walking away, Mrs. Shen smiled and sighed: "I didn't expect my son to be so eloquent. Even I was almost moved by what he said. Tell me the truth: you are so eloquent." Are they all true, or are you just saying this to dissuade Yinger?"

Shen Hou looked at his mother and said with a smile: "If it's not true, does mother think that I can really help the Zhuang family win the world calmly? My son has never had any ambitions. Didn't this mother know it all the time? Seeing that the Shen family is prosperous now , I advise my mother to take good care of her body and take care of her life, and stop worrying about the power of her children and grandchildren, otherwise, her son will be incompetent, and her son will be unfilial."

The old lady Shen looked at Shen Hou for a long time, with a lot of thoughts in her heart, and finally sighed: "Forget it, I don't want to be that old idiot anymore, anyway, you have always had ideas since you were young, and since you married a daughter-in-law, your wings have grown stronger and stronger. It's so hard, even if I break my heart, I won't get a good word from you. It's just because of Li'er, I hope you can take care of her more in the future."

After Shen Hou heard this, his heart was also quite complicated. His mother naturally loved him, but because he was not careful in his actions back then, she heard that secret incident, which aroused her injustice and desire for rights. To help the Shen family, it's just that this kind of maternal love, not only can't bear it, it causes the son and daughter to be at odds with his wife, and even harms the happiness of the eldest daughter's life.

But it happened to be his own biological mother, so he didn't dare to have any hatred, so he could only knock out his teeth and put them in his stomach. Shen Hou said: "Don't worry, Li'er is my biological daughter, why should I ignore her?" .”

The old lady Shen nodded, she seemed to have lost the long-standing support in her heart at this moment, she seemed to be getting older now, Shen Hou couldn't help but feel sad, no matter how much she complained about her troubles, it was always his mother who had to accompany her He made her happy with a smiling face.

As soon as he left the Chunhui Courtyard, Shen Hou's smiling face sank, and his brows were tightly frowned: because he was worried that Shen Qiujun's disappearance and fate would be feared by the emperor, just in case, he didn't dare to let the Shen family completely let go of military power Now, it seems that although his son's mind is temporarily suppressed by himself, once he is provoked again, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it will be even more dangerous. Then should he let go of this military power or not?

Just when Shen Hou was distressed about the matter of military power because of Shen Zhaoying's accident, Shen Zhaoying had already returned to the courtyard. What happened just now was too surprising. To the exception of his wife and daughter.

Similarly, Mrs. Shen and Sister Zhen also had something on their minds, so naturally they didn't notice what was wrong with Shen Zhaoying, but they asked a few questions as usual, got a few words to deal with, then threw them away, and avoided Shen Zhaoying because of Brother Gui's falling into the water. smug eyes.

In the past two days, Mrs. Shen was more relieved when she saw that her husband had not received any news at all, and then started her revenge plan.

Mrs. Shen first went to look for Cheng Xiumei, and asked to see the account book of the mansion. Cheng Xiumei knew that this was because Mrs. Shen was upset that she would replace her. Besides, the Marquis's mansion had other big family wealth besides the royal title. It was for the two brothers to share, and she had no shortage of money and wanted to please her parents-in-law, so she had never been greedy for a single penny since she was the housekeeper, so she happily took it out for Mrs. Shen to see.

Mrs. Shen took a quick glance and saw that the account date was clear. She was satisfied and said, "I'm going to take these back and have a closer look."

Cheng Xiumei hurriedly smiled and said, "It should, after all, the accounts are too complicated."

Aunt Shen became more and more satisfied, and pointed to the account of the recent daily expenses, and said, "I don't know if the expenses of the elder sister's courtyard are also included in it?"

Cheng Xiumei was stunned for a moment, and Mrs. Shen had already opened it to look carefully, and said with a half-sneer, "My brother and sister are good people, and they even used Shen's family wealth to give to others. Look, the bird's nest and ginseng used every day are not the same as that. They are like valuable radishes and vegetables, not to mention other rare things. They only have three masters in total, and they use them more than the old lady and the in-laws' house. Are they using it, or is someone taking advantage of it to make money? (To be continued.
