Wentang

Chapter 588
Zhao Meng may have been touched by Fang Xuanling's words, so he hesitated for a while and said a few words quickly in a low voice:
"When the sage saw Yue Hou, he backed away. No one knew what they said, but there must have been a quarrel between the two. It didn't take long for Yue Hou to go to Qinzheng Hall to meet the empress, and the sage made this decree angrily. .”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Meng tapped the horse's belly lightly with his ankle, and moved away from Fang Xuanling.

With a heavy heart, Fang Xuanling arched her hands towards his back, then slowed down and waited for Fang Lushi to catch up before walking forward side by side.

How about it?Fang Lu gestured with his eyes.

Fang Xuanling shook his head, expressing that the situation was not ideal.

"In fact, we have long understood that the matter is irreversible. It is only because we are not reconciled that we want to ask someone to intercede, so we have the luck we shouldn't have. Now we are just letting things go back to what they should be. There is nothing to be sad about. " Fang Lu said calmly.

Fang Xuanling also smiled and said: "Madam is right, I am too greedy."

A group of people came all the way to the gate of the palace, Fang Xuanling and his wife were waiting outside the city gate, and Zhao Meng went inside to report the situation.The couple waited outside the door for almost an hour before the wrestler came to inform them to face the saint.

The couple came all the way to Zichen Hall, where they met Li Shimin.

"See Saints."

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and buried himself in correcting the memorial, as if he didn't hear them.The couple didn't dare to get up without an order, and just kept the posture of saluting motionless.

As we all know, it is very painful to maintain a posture all the time, especially Wanfuli for women. Maintaining this posture for a long time is more painful than any physical punishment. After a while, Fang Lushi was sweating profusely.

Fang Xuanling's heart ached, and she couldn't help wanting to salute again in an attempt to wake Li Shimin to save his wife.But Fang Lushi seemed to have guessed his thoughts like a tacit understanding with him, and stopped him with his eyes one step ahead.

After a while, Fang Lu's complexion became more and more painful, and his body began to shake. Fang Xuanling couldn't bear it anymore and was about to speak out.

At this moment, Li Shimin put down the pen in his hand, looked up at the two of them, and said coldly, "Excuse me."

If the two met with an amnesty, they hurried, Fang Lu staggered and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Fang Xuanling's eyesight and hands quickly supported her so that he did not make a fool of himself.

"The deep love between husband and wife is really touching." Li Shimin sarcastically said: "Since your relationship is so deep, shouldn't you, Fang Lu, take the initiative to leave to fulfill Fang Qiao's fame? Or is it that your feelings for him are fake? "

Fang Lu replied calmly: "I'm just a woman who doesn't understand so many principles. I only know that when I marry the rare, I marry the old and the old. Since I married Da Lang, I should respect him."

Li Shimin was not surprised by this answer. Although the five surnames and Qiwang were said to be worthless by Yue Shan, in fact they really had a solid foundation.Even women are well-read poems and books, how could they be overwhelmed by a few words.

But a woman is a woman after all, no matter how smart or eloquent, the decision-making power is still in the hands of the head of the family.So Li Shimin didn't say anything more to her, and turned his gun to Fang Xuanling:

"Why did Qing Fang see me today?"

"I received the holy edict today, and I was very moved to learn that the sage cares about my personal life. I am here to thank you." Fang Xuanling first thanked me, and then changed the subject:

"However, I am getting old and feel tired recently. I am afraid that the rest of the beauty's life will be delayed. The saint is a benevolent king. Please take it back and find another lover for the two beauties."

"Oh? Are you rejecting my reward?" Li Shimin said with a gloomy and unhappy expression.

"Don't dare, I really don't want to delay the beauty." Fang Xuanling said sincerely.

"Do you know the crime of resisting the decree?" Li Shimin said angrily.

Fang Xuanling didn't answer, just bowed his head in silence to resist.

"Oh, do you really think I dare not kill you?" Li Shimin was completely angry and shouted.

Now Fang Lu couldn't stand anymore, and he didn't want her husband to face the emperor's wrath on his own, so he replied: "If you want to blame the saint, blame me, I was the one who refused Dalang to accept those two beauties."

"You? Heh... I've seen someone who steals merit, but this is the first time I've seen someone who rushes to die. Then tell me why you don't let beauties in? Could it be jealousy?" Li Shimin laughed angrily.

"Yes, it's jealousy. Da Lang is my husband, why should I let other vixens share it." Fang Lu's expression flashed a little struggle, and finally nodded and said.

"Jealousy is one of the seven crimes, which is not in line with your status as a daughter of Fan Yang Lu." Li Shimin said.

"I can't decide my identity is given by my parents, but I live my own life. The same water supports all kinds of people. I just hope that our husband and wife will be in harmony, and I don't want other women to interfere." After going all out, the room Lu Shi spoke more boldly:

"Furthermore, Fan Yang Lu's family has long been a thing of the past. I follow my father at home and my husband after marriage. I have married into the Fang family, and I am a member of the Fang family. It has nothing to do with Fan Yang's Lu family."

"It has nothing to do with Fan Yang's Lu family?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect her to say such a thing.

"It can't be said that there is no relationship at all. After all, my biological father is a descendant of the Lu family. No matter where I marry, this blood relationship will always be cut off."

Yue Shan, who was hiding in the next room, couldn't help giving a thumbs up when he heard these words. He really deserved to be the daughter of a family, and what he said was unmatched by ordinary people.

When Fang Xuanling approached Yue Shan, he had made it clear that Fang Lu's family would sever ties with Fan Yang's Lu family.But the same words have different meanings when said in different ways.

You can't tell Li Shimin directly that I have severed all ties with Fan Yang Lu, right?This seems so unfeeling.

But now she cleverly used Li Shimin's questioning to reveal this meaning.

Although I was born in the Lu family of Fanyang, I am married to Fang Xuanling and I belong to the Fang family. My relationship with the Lu family is limited to the fact that my biological parents are from this family.

Not only saved enough face for myself, but also expressed my thoughts.

This kind of wisdom and ability to change, even most men can't compare.No wonder people say that when you marry a wife, you should marry a woman with five surnames. It seems that it is not only their status, but part of the reason is virtuousness.

When you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous person.

There is another saying that men are bad for one generation, and women are bad for three generations.

In ancient times, men went out to earn money, and it was more the responsibility of women to educate children.So if a man doesn't live up to expectations, at most it's because he can't do it himself.Women can't do it, they will teach three generations badly.

Thinking of this, Yue Shan whispered to the eldest grandson Wugou next to him, "How is your empress?"

"It's eloquent." Changsun Wugou glanced at him and said calmly.

Although she is virtuous and magnanimous, the matter this time is too serious, Ji Sichen, if it is not for Yue Shan, she cannot imagine what will happen to her.God knows how she survived those days.

So she hated these masterminds behind the scenes, wishing to kill them all.Although Fang Lu is a descendant of the branch line, she is also the daughter of Fan Yang Lu, and she is also within the scope of her hatred.

That is to say, if Yue Shan came to plead for mercy, if someone else dared to say this, she would definitely let go of her status as a queen and spray the other party with saliva.

But even if Yue Shan came to intercede, don't expect her to forgive him so easily.

"I'm talking about her eyes." Yue Shan pointed to his right eye and said.

"What happened to her eyes?" Changsun Wugou asked curiously.

"You can tell at a glance." Yue Shan said.

Changsun Wugou didn't get up, but gave him a glare.Yue Shan was stunned for a moment, and when he saw her big belly, he immediately understood, and quickly and carefully helped her up.

Walking carefully all the way to the door, I happened to see the situation in the next room through the crack of the door.

Although Fang Lu's answers were very ingenious, obviously these were not enough to convince Li Shimin, and he was already being bombarded by Li Shimin's anger at this time.

Changsun Wugou found Fang Lushi's abnormality easily through the crack of the door, and said in surprise: "Why are her eyes covered with a cloth belt? Could it be that she has an eye disease?"

Speaking of which, she thought of something again, and suddenly said: "I remembered, I heard that the housekeeper's wife had only one eye before, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time. Now I just remembered after hearing you say that. "

"Why are you blind? Do you know?" Changsun Wugou asked curiously.

Yue Shan helped her back to the seat, and replied: "I really know this. Fang Xiang was seriously ill and almost died. He was afraid that his death would damage Mrs. Fang's reputation and remarry, so he wanted to divorce his wife."

"Mrs. Fang didn't argue when she found out, but she stabbed herself blind in one eye, and told Fang Xiang with practical actions that she will be the only one in her life and will never remarry."

"Fortunately, Fang Xiangji has his own astrology. After treatment, his condition improved and finally returned to health, but Mrs. Fang's one eye never came back."

"It is precisely because of this that Fang respects her very much, and even sacrifices his own future for her, defying the oracle."

After hearing this story, Changsun Wugou was a little lost. Pregnant women are inherently sensitive, easily angry and easily moved. At this time, he was moved by this story.

"It turns out that Fang Xiang and his wife are so loving. Now I understand why he would rather resign than divorce his wife."

Divorce is also a bad name, but it is definitely not worth mentioning compared with Koff.

The Tang Dynasty was not the Ming and Qing Dynasties with strict etiquette, and it was normal for women to remarry.Even the law encourages divorced women to remarry and gives certain material rewards.

Kefu was the deadliest blow to a woman in ancient times, and once it was touched, it meant that she would die alone forever.

At that time Fang Xuanling was still young, if he really died of illness, Fang Lu would definitely be charged with Kefu.

That's why Fang Xuanling wanted to divorce his wife while he was still alive, so even if he died, it wouldn't have much to do with Fang Lushi.

This shows that Fang Xuanling loves Fang Lushi very much and thinks of her everywhere.It's very simple, another man would not divorce his wife when he was in the most difficult time.

On the contrary, it is not uncommon for people to divorce their wives after they become rich.

Fang Lushi is also decisive enough to directly stab his own eyes to show his will, which is also deeply affectionate.

This story was not made up by Yue Shan, but from "New Book of Tang: Biography of Martyrs", and Pei Shuying's story also came from this book.

This is the new Tang book, the official history of the Eight Classics, and the authenticity of this story is quite credible.

There is a more famous allusion about Fang Lushi, jealousy.

Legend has it that Li Shimin took the opportunity to bestow two beauties on Fang Xuanling, and Mrs. Fang refused to let the two beauties in. Li Shimin was very angry and called Fang Lu to the palace to reprimand her and gave her poisoned wine.

Fang Lu drank it without hesitation, only to find out that it was vinegar.

Seeing that she would rather die than let the two beauties enter, Li Shimin had no choice but to withdraw his life.

Hence the allusion of jealousy.

However, this story was first seen in the Huaben and has been passed down among the Huaben. There is no relevant record in the official history.

The first allusion of jealousy appeared in the history of the Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty's "Chaoye Qianzai", which is a legendary story meeting that records the deeds of the royal family, princes and nobles.

To put it bluntly, it is a modern gossip magazine, and one can imagine how reliable it is.

Moreover, this allusion has nothing to do with Fang Xuanling at all, it tells the story of the Tang Dynasty general Ren Yu.

Li Shimin gave Ren Yu two beauties, and Ren Yu's wife abused the two beauties out of jealousy.

After Li Shimin heard about it, he gave a cup of vinegar and lied that it was poisoned wine to scare Ren Yu's wife. As a result, she no longer dared to bully the two beauties.

Later, "Sui and Tang Jiahua" beautified this story and put it on Fang Xuanling's name, because only in this way can this story attract more readers.

Celebrity effect?

Just like in the previous life, in Chinese story clubs and textbooks, there are at least [-] presidents in the United States who cut down their father’s cherry trees when they were young.

So there is no doubt about being jealous, it must be fake.

But who is Yue Shan, a time traveler, what he likes to do most is to turn the fake into real.So this time, knowing that Li Shimin was going to test the depth of the relationship between Fang Xuanling and his wife, he came up with the idea of ​​'drinking poisoned wine'.

For the beauty, if Fang Xuanling accepts it, there is nothing to say, either divorce his wife or resign and return to his hometown to farm.

If they refuse, take it to the palace to start the second step of the plan.Li Shimin found an opportunity to get angry and bestow Fang Lu's death, to see if she dared to die for Fang Xuanling.

If she really dared to drink, then let them go, and then use this as a propaganda point to implement Yue Shan's plan to divide the family.

At this time, the plot in the next room is about to progress to the plot of drinking poisoned alcohol. Seeing that the eldest grandson Wugou is still immersed in the touching love story, Yue Shan reminds:

"Your Majesty, it's your turn to play right away."

"Oh!" Only then did Changsun Wugou come back to his senses, then got up and straightened his clothes, ready to be an intruder.

"Presumptuous, dare to disobey the emperor's order, I think you are tired of living. Okay, didn't you say that you would rather die than let those two beauties enter, then I will fulfill you." Li Shimin's furious voice came from the next door:

"Come here, bring the poisoned wine."

Zhao Meng, who had been prepared for a long time, picked up the jug on the table and ran over.

"Either you leave Fang Xuanling, or drink this pot of poisoned wine." Li Shimin said.

"Saint, please take it back for the sake of the old minister's loyalty to the country. Saint, I am the only one responsible for any crime. She is just an ignorant woman. Let the saint let her go. I will drink this pot of wine..."

Then there was a sound of snatching and Li Shimin asking the guards to pull Fang Xuanling away, and finally quieted down after a while.

Yue Shan was always observing the expression of Changsun Wugou, and then found that there was no trace of hatred in her expression, only sympathy and emotion.My heart suddenly settled down, as expected, pregnant women are the most easily moved, and it seems that this matter has been accomplished.

The drama next door was still going on, and Fang Lu said sadly: "Dalang, I will never be with you anymore, but I will always pray for you under the Nine Springs, and protect you and the children in good health." longevity."

After speaking, he raised the wine jug and poured it into his mouth.

Fang Xuanling watched heart-piercingly and shouted: "No..."

then……

"Pfft..." Fang Lu squirted out just after taking a sip.

What... what's wrong?Fang Xuanling stopped struggling, and stared blankly at his wife, not knowing what happened.

Fang Lu looked at the jug in his hand with a look of disbelief.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wugou next door knew that the time had come, so he said to Yue Shan, "Let's go, it's time for us to finish it."

　I won’t say anything, just try to keep it updated, and I will make up for what I owed a few days ago when I have time.
