Cannon Fodder Strategy

When she heard this, Lily sneered twice, and when she saw the angry Queen Mother, she said: "Your Majesty, I want to reconcile with Chen Shimei! He originally had another wife, but he dared to deceive the emperor. Now his first wife Mrs. Chen came to the mansion and kept saying that she should bow down to her. Queen Mother, I really can't stand such an insult!" She cried and begged at this moment, and the wonderful effect of her acting skills was revealed. The Queen Mother did not doubt Lily at all, but on the contrary He believed her words as soon as he heard her words, and saw his daughter crying so sadly. He couldn't help but feel distressed and angry at the same time: "Bold Mrs. Qin, you are really too deceptive. I will send someone to ask for the emperor's will. Then Bao Zheng If you don’t send someone, then let’s do it. If you dare to send someone, his head will not be saved!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a waiter reported back, saying that the person sent by Kaifeng Mansion to pick up the princess was already waiting outside the palace gate.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was furious and sneered twice: "The Ai family should go and see if Bao Zheng is so bold because of the virtuous king. Can he judge the blood of the royal family?" This is the rule at this time. If a prince commits a crime and the common people are guilty, it is just a beautiful line in a play. If an official commits a crime at this time, the most he can do is to take off his robe and be beaten. In serious cases, he will be whipped. In fact, Lily is also very curious. How could Bao Zheng behead someone in the end?

Chen Shimei was a serious scholar with a good reputation, and he was also the number one scholar selected by the Holy Spirit. According to the law at this time, even if he stopped his wife and remarried, he could only be whipped for fifty or more than seventy. The crime would not lead to death, let alone death. What's more, Chen Shimei's subsequent crime of deceiving the emperor was already forgiven in the original plot after Bai He pleaded with the Queen Mother. Even though Han Qi died, he did it himself, not to mention the matter of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. If everyone were like Han Qi. When he couldn't finish his work, he committed suicide and left a shit basin on his employer's head. I'm afraid no one dares to use someone like him. Although Chen Shimei is not a human being, Bao Zheng acted too fiercely. He just chopped off Chen Shimei's head to fulfill his reputation of being upright.

But this time Lily didn't want to be too fussy with him. After all, in Lily's plan, if she and Chen Shimei reconciled, they would have no contact with Qin Xianglian. Unexpectedly, Qin Xianglian took the initiative to come forward. Lily is naturally not ready to let her go again!

The Queen Mother was extremely angry and wanted to leave the palace. When the phoenix chariot carried the mother and daughter all the way to Kaifeng Mansion, Qin Xianglian and Chen Shimei were already kneeling in front of the hall. Qin Xianglian was fine, but Chen Shimei was being escorted to his knees on the ground. He had not seen her all night. His face showed a haggard look. When he saw Lily, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "Princess, save me."

"Shut up!" The Queen Mother scolded him, and then walked into the lobby. Bao Zheng stood up and saluted. Then Wang Chaoyang's Mahan quickly brought two chairs out and sat down with Lily and her daughter. The two children, Brother Ying and Sister Dong, knelt beside Qin Xianglian. Staring at Lily with a wary expression.

"I heard that a bold and cunning woman sued the princess of the dynasty. Bao Gong has already tried her?" the Queen Mother asked with a smile as soon as she sat down. Bao Zheng's face was a little pale at first. In this era of supremacy of imperial power, he actually took countless risks by doing this. Now that he saw the Queen Mother coming in person, he couldn't help but become a little nervous. He subconsciously looked at Qin Xianglian, But he saw Qin Xianglian bending down deeply towards him and just shouting: "Please make the decision, sir."

When she said this, Bao Zheng thought of her pity, and his initially wavering heart became firm again: "Bao Zheng is so bold that he asked for life for the people. He boldly tried the princess today. If the emperor is blamed in the future, Bao Zheng will I'm willing to pay for it with my black gauze hat!" After he finished speaking, he took off his official hat and held it in his hand with a cold face: "Today the princess must be interrogated. Don't talk about the Queen Mother's plea. Even if the wise king comes in person, Bao Zheng will also interrogate him. undoubtedly!"

Bao Zheng was originally a Jinshi. In this era, although a Jinshi could serve as an official, it did not necessarily mean that he would become an official. He was promoted by the Eight Wise Kings to achieve what he is today. It is precisely because of this that the meaning in his words This means that even if the Empress Dowager Xiudi arrives, even if his benefactor, the Eight Wise Kings, arrives, he will not be merciful.

At this point, it is not necessarily Bao Zheng who wants Chen Shimei to die, but Qin Xianglian probably hates Chen Shimei to the core and wants him to die. Lily had the idea in her mind, so she sat quietly on the chair and whispered softly:

"Master Bao is such a clear-minded official. Could it be that what he said meant that you only have a wise king in your eyes and not a queen mother?" Catching a linguistic flaw in Bao Zheng's words, Bao Zheng was a little flustered as soon as Lily spoke. Come to think of it, he is the most upright person. He never disputes the power of words with others. He always convinces people with facts and evidence. Unexpectedly, Lily was cunning and caught him in his words. As soon as Lily finished his words, he was very upright. , the Queen Mother's face darkened, Bao Zheng couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and hurriedly said:

"it's not true."

The Queen Mother sneered twice, turned to Lily and said, "My son, Chen Shimei, if you don't want it now? If you want it, then you will keep his children under your knees." Upon hearing this, Qin Xianglian's face turned pale with fright. Bai Bai hugged the children tightly and said, "Please make the decision, sir."

"No noise in the courtroom! Open the court!" At this point, Bao Zheng knew that the road ahead was dangerous, so he had to go on bravely. Qin Xianglian made three accusations against Chen Shimei: the first was to stop his wife and remarry, the second was to deceive the emperor and hide the truth from her, and the third was to be unfilial to her parents. Different from what happened later in the original plot, she wanted to murder her parents and children, and also killed the warrior Han Qi.

And she had two accusations against the princess. One was that it was an unforgivable crime to take away a man's husband, and the other was that she hurt innocent people and her heart was like a snake or a wolf.

When Lily heard this, she almost couldn't hold it back and laughed: "Qin can just sue Chen Shimei, but what's the point of suing me? Although seizing someone's husband brings a bad name to me, I didn't know about it in advance. , all because of Chen Shimei’s concealment. This is consistent with the fact that you sued him for stopping his wife and remarrying to deceive the king. Why is it still my fault? What’s the point of me beating the doorkeeper? Wrong? He is a member of the royal family, but he doesn't know that all his food and clothing come from my palace, but he doesn't know how to favor the master, but instead turns his elbows outward. Should such a villain deserve to be beaten? "

Qin Xianglian was left speechless by Lily's question. After thinking for a moment, she hurriedly said: "The theater troupe helped me find a husband, so why are they guilty? Why did the princess put them in prison and impose severe punishments on them?"

"If everyone can break into my palace, wouldn't it be chaos? If assassins sneak in according to the law, they will be chopped off. It would not be an exaggeration to kill all nine of them!" Lily stood up. Staring at Bao Zheng on the stage, he said: "It is said that Bao Wen is like the blue sky. Now it seems that it is nothing more than this. This is a complaint that makes people know the obvious loopholes at a glance. Lord Bao will actually summon me to come, Brother Wang. It has been famous for many years, but I didn’t expect it to be nothing more than this. What’s more, if someone below the Qin family sued me like this, would you blame me?” Lily asked Bao Zheng until he was speechless. The characters in this story It cannot withstand scrutiny. The story itself is a compilation, so the Eight Wise Kings at this moment are exactly what Lily calls Brother Wang.

Bao Zheng's face turned red after being talked about, but now he actually listened to Lily and brought shame on his benefactor's face, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Although Bao Zheng has a resolute character, Chen Shimei did not send anyone to chase Qin Xianglian at this time. Secondly, although he was guilty of deceiving the emperor, the emperor had pardoned him because of the princess's plea, even though he abandoned his wife and remarried. . However, at this time, the law clearly stipulates that if you have a wife and marry again. If the girl knew about it, she would be punished. However, because of Chen Shimei's deception, the princess did not know about it and was a victim. She also voluntarily reconciled with Chen Shimei. Qin Xianglian sued her for stealing her husband again, so she would not be able to stand on her own. . Even if Chen Shimei was guilty of deception, the maximum he could receive would be seventy lashes. However, because Chen Shimei was the top three scholar and was an official, he could use the official position to avoid all guilt and be released without charge.

This punishment deprived Chen Shimei of all his glory and wealth. It could be said that it was very serious to him. The people outside kept cheering. Qin Xianglian was still dissatisfied, but seeing that the situation was over, Chen Shimei could no longer be sentenced to death. She had no choice but to give up for the time being. It was just her hometown. After a famine, Chen Shimei lost her wealth. If the couple returned to their hometowns again, they would be in poverty. What's more, Chen Shimei hated Qin Xianglian to the core. When she thought that Chen Shimei was not dead, she wanted to return to her hometown with her, Qin Xianglian thought. I couldn't help but feel a little scared when I got up, and subconsciously glanced at a pair of children.

Bao Zheng felt sympathy in his heart and ordered without thinking: "The dynasty takes three hundred taels of silver and gives it to the Qin family."

When the people guarding the door heard this, they all cheered. Everyone said that Bao Wen was upright, clear-minded and upright, and that he was a good official. Lily thought about the plot in which the original owner's reputation was ruined for a lifetime, and stood up at this moment: "I don't know whether Mr. Bao is a good official or not."

"Princess, please speak!" Now that the case has been completed, to be honest, because of the intervention of the Queen Mother and Lily, even Bao Zheng could not help but feel a little pressure and felt very uncomfortable. Now that the case was concluded, he could not Bao Zheng was inevitably a little impatient and frowned when Lily continued to speak after being punished.

"As we all know, Mr. Bao was a filial piety and righteous man. He was a Jinshi in the 28th National High School. He did not enter the official position until he was 36 years old. Brother Bao Wang has a keen eye for talents, which made you rise to the top in just two years. Now, in just a few years, you are already in Kaifeng. It's really gratifying to have the government." Lily changed the topic and first congratulated Bao Zheng. Seeing that he looked a little confused, she continued: "It's just that I know that Emperor Kaizu always cherished talents, and the late Emperor was even more so. Officials have their salaries customized every year. In addition to rice, noodles, tea, etc. being distributed by the court, the monthly salary is a lot of money, but it can guarantee that you can handle cases like a god. If you give out three hundred taels of silver every time, you don't know what to do with it. use?"

The Song Dynasty is famous for its kindness to officials in history, but Bao Zheng giving three hundred taels of silver to Qin Xianglian is actually the biggest flaw in the play. Although Bao Zheng has been promoted to Kaifeng Prefecture, he is both honest and honest, so he is so loyal From being a county magistrate to his current position, he probably didn't have much money in his hands. In order to raise a pair of children for Qin Xianglian, he actually spent three hundred taels. Even though the Song Dynasty treated officials favorably, Bao Zheng at this time did not later enter Longtuge. , when the amount of money was doubled, he now only had enough money to live a prosperous life. He had only been an official since he was thirty-six years old. How could he save money in just a few years?

I don't know if the reason for reputation came into play at this time. Almost all the people guarding outside the Yamen believed what Lily said, and the Yamen was silent for a while.

"My loyal heart can shine on the sun and the moon. If the princess doesn't believe it, I'm willing to put my black gauze hat on my head as a guarantee!" When Bao Zheng heard Lily's words, his face turned red with anxiety, and he wanted to speak again, but Lily had already laughed softly: "The officials of the imperial court are supposed to work for the benefit of the people. It should be a right given by the emperor. Mr. Bao always talks about resigning. People who know about it just think that you are threatening me. If you don't know about it, I am afraid that you will have to resign now." I thought that Your Excellency was threatening the Emperor through me, and wanted to resign for standing up for the women of the people, but now I am resigning without even saying a word. Could it be that Master Bao got his reputation by resigning?"

In this case, Bao Zheng gained a reputation for not being afraid of power, but this is what Lily hated the most. His reputation was based on sacrificing a woman's reputation. Therefore, the princess's purpose was to make Bao Zheng Zheng can no longer achieve his reputation of being upright and upright through her!

Now that Lily had finished speaking, she didn't mention it to Bao Zheng anymore. Talking too much could easily lead to bad things. She glanced at the Queen Mother and helped the Queen Mother out of the Yamen and onto the phoenix chariot. The people outside knelt on the ground and everyone called Princess. Chitose, many people even pointed at the Yamen and whispered that Qin Xianglian no longer had the prestige of winning lawsuits in her previous life. It was said that she later packed up her baggage and returned to her hometown with Chen Shimei. Bao Zheng was accused by Bai Heyi that day, so he counted his family property and prepared it. How could he dare to hand over money to Qin Xianglian when dealing with the censor sent by the emperor to investigate and deal with him? I'm afraid that not only will I not be able to help her, but I will actually harm her.

Although Bai He and Chen Shimei reconciled, the matter did not become a big scandal in the end and turned into a royal scandal. The emperor felt pity for this sister who was of the same mother. Seeing that she did not take the initiative to make a noise, he felt guilty and chose for her. Such a consort, so much love and affection, no one among the nobles dared to talk about Lily like in the plot. She raised her only son alone and never remarried. Instead, she became a role model for women praised by the people.

But Qin Xianglian thought that she had supported her husband many times, but in the end Chen Shimei married someone else for the sake of wealth. She was still full of resentment. She also sued Chen Shimei but did not kill him. Bao Zheng sent them back to their place of origin and they were still husband and wife. But Qin Xianglian not only hated Chen Shimei, but Chen Shimei also hated her for ruining his future and accused her of evil intentions. Therefore, the relationship with her was very bad, and they no longer had the affection they had in the past. They often fought and scolded her. Without Chen Shimei's death, Qin Xianglian was seen as a victim. On the contrary, because Chen Shimei was rumored everywhere, everyone thought that she was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so they stayed away from her. The couple often quarreled and fought. The family was originally very poor, and Chen Shimei The remarriage became the laughing stock of everyone in his hometown, and the two children were looked down upon when they grew up.
