Saint of the Confucian way

In the CI Ning palace, the Empress Dowager slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were blurred. It took a long time to become clear.

Phoenix bed, brocade quilt and red curtain.

The imperial doctor and eunuch were in the outer room. Zhao Hongzhuang sat by the bed.

Zhao Hongzhuang is like a sleepy insect. Her chin is gently raised once in a while. She is obviously asleep, but her instinct makes her force herself to sit down.

The Empress Dowager looked up slightly and looked at the sky outside the window. It was approaching dawn.

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Hongzhuang's beautiful side face with a complex look in her eyes.

She didn't expect that there was an insider in the royal family.

In her original plan, she should slowly cultivate Jing Jun Zhao Yuan, let Zhao Yuan be a real emperor and monarch, and let him learn to fear Fang Yun and guard against Fang Yun.

Originally, everything was going very well. Not long ago, Zhao Yuan began to guard against Fang Yun.

After all, although Fang Yun is an imperial teacher, she may not teach Zhao Yuan once a month. In a few years, the Empress Dowager can alienate Zhao Yuan from Fang Yun.

It was not until yesterday that the Empress Dowager found that there was a deviation. She suddenly realized that someone was secretly affecting Zhao Yuan. When she asked, she knew that it was her little aunt, Zhao Yuan's close aunt, Zhao Hongzhuang.

After years of hard work, the Empress Dowager became angry and worried. In addition, she had not recovered from her old illness, so that she vomited blood and fainted.

Looking at Zhao Hongzhuang, a touch of hate flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes, but then the hate turned into helplessness.

The Empress Dowager would have been deposed by King Kang and others if Zhao Hongzhuang had not tried her best to deal with the death of the former Emperor and had made every effort to help with her contacts in the royal family.

However, in educating Zhao Yuan, Zhao Hongzhuang is against the whole royal family.

There is nothing wrong with Zhao Yuan's admiration for Fang Yun, but Zhao Yuan is the future monarch. He must master the imperial art, never consciously lower his head in front of Fang Yun, and never stand with Fang Yun.

Kings are not with all peoples.

If Zhao Yuan admires Fang Yun from childhood, he will go to extremes when he grows up. Either he will obey Fang Yun in everything, or he will resolutely stand on the opposite of Fang Yun because of rebellion. It is a disaster rather than a blessing.

The Empress Dowager sighed gently.

Zhao Hongzhuang suddenly opened her eyes, breathed quickly, and then looked at the empress dowager, with a complex look on her face.

"Empress dowager, you are awake."

After a brief panic flashed in Zhao Hongzhuang's eyes, she returned to normal.

The Empress Dowager nodded her head slightly, and then said in a slightly dignified voice, "leave the red makeup, you all go down."

All the others left, leaving only two people in the room.

After a long silence, perhaps more than a quarter of an hour, the Empress Dowager closed her eyes and asked slowly, "why do you teach yuaner like that?"

Zhao Hongzhuang was silent for decades and said, "I'm just telling the truth and judging by yuaner. I'm an aunt and won't hurt him."

"You don't want to hurt him, but you hurt him after all. AI Jia had... Bad ideas before he was unconscious."

After all, the Empress Dowager did not say the words of abolishing legislation.

Zhao Hongzhuang said, "I know your mind, but you may teach yuan'er to be a bright King in your mind, but it may hurt him."

"As long as he knows how to protect himself, hide his power and bide his time, he will be fine."

"Everything in the world is not what you expected."

"So even if yuan'er was killed, it's not Fang Yun's fault?" the Empress Dowager opened her eyes and stared at Zhao Hongzhuang, whose eyes were shining at night.

"We... Can't be lucky." Zhao Hongzhuang lowered her head slightly.

The Empress Dowager sneered: "do you think AI family doesn't know what you're doing? You can even abandon the royal family and Jingguo for the sake of the women's society, not to mention our mother and son! In your eyes, Fang Yun is the hope for the revival of your women's society, and Fang Yun is the only help of Zhao Hongzhuang!"

Zhao Hongzhuang trembled, took a deep breath, looked up at the Empress Dowager and said, "you don't know what I'm going to do!"

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Hongzhuang's fearless eyes and thought of herself in those years. She was soft in her heart, sighed and said, "I don't know. Don't you just want women all over the world to be like men, who can read, master talent, get a literary position and become saints?"

Zhao Hongzhuang turned her head gently and looked out of the window. It could be seen that the sky had turned light blue.

"What you have to do is too difficult, even more difficult than a semi holy city in Jingguo in five years!" said the Empress Dowager.

"If it's not difficult, everyone will do it. It's because it's too difficult, so someone always wants to start."

"But you probably just started and you won't get anything in the end."

Zhao Hongzhuang raised her head gently and said firmly, "I die only a foot high, but it's close to ten inches from the sky!"

The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed a shock. Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongzhuang's realm has reached such a high level that she doesn't even care about life and death, because even death will become a ladder for later women. If later women step on her, they will be one step closer to completing their ideal.

The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time. A crazy color flashed in her eyes and asked fiercely, "you won't have this kind of consciousness. Who taught you? Was it Fang Yun?"

Zhao Hongzhuang didn't look at the Empress Dowager and said, "he taught me a lot, but I really decided to go this way."

"So in order to repay Fang Yun and get help in the future, you will destroy yuan'er and the master of ZTE in the future?" the Empress Dowager asked again.

"Jingguo, there has already been the master of ZTE." Zhao Hongzhuang turned her head and looked at the Empress Dowager with a trace of surprise in her eyes. She was surprised by the Empress Dowager's ignorance and something inexplicable.

The Empress Dowager clearly felt that there was contempt hidden in Zhao Hongzhuang's tone and eyes.

"He is only a capable minister and a famous scholar. Only the imperial family will be the master of ZTE!" the Empress Dowager raised her voice involuntarily.

"Then be killed?" Zhao Hongzhuang's tone was full of resentment and pain.

"You..." the Empress Dowager also showed a painful color. She closed her eyes and the corners of her eyes became moist.

Zhao Hongzhuang bit her teeth and said slowly, "I can't do it, you can't do it, yuaner can't do it, and the Zhao family can't do it for generations."

After a while, Zhao Hongzhuang continued to speak.

"But Fang Yunneng!"

The Empress Dowager seemed to be defending: "I just want the Zhao family to last forever, and I don't want to live up to the former Emperor."

"In addition to Fang Yun, is there another person in the world who can protect the Zhao family forever? Isn't it the best self-protection strategy to let yuan'er be a well-organized monarch instead of fighting for the title of the doomed leader of ZTE? Your practice is actually accelerating the demise of the Zhao family!" Zhao Hongzhuang retorted.

"You... Stop talking!"

Tears ran down the corners of the eyes to both sides and wet the pillow.

Zhao Hongzhuang held out her hand and gently wiped away her tears, saying softly: "Sister-in-law, you are trapped in the deep palace. What you see and know has limited your horizons. I went to Kong City to communicate with women all over the world, traveled all over the world to build women's academies, followed Fang Yun North to serve as a medical officer, or even in the official office. I am not the long princess who hated men all over the world and hated that I am not a man."
