Wei and Jin cooks

But everyone died, Zhao Changyu failed to persuade the emperor, and the country began to slide into the abyss as predicted by his predecessor, Uncle Cai. However, Zhao Changyu failed to bring the country to stability as he had dreamed of when he was a boy.

When the new emperor came to the throne, Empress Jia took over the affairs of state in his place.

The queen was smart, but too obsessed with power, narrow-minded and suspicious. She resented equally everyone who stood in her way and anyone who had ever suggested deposing the crown prince.

Wei Guan was the first person she purged.

Wei Guan was so powerful. Although he always suggested deposing the prince, and once wanted to clean up the prince manually, before his death, Emperor Wu still entrusted him with the honor of "going to the palace with swords and shoes, and staying in the court without hesitation".

Zhao Hanzhang later won this honor by himself, but Wei Guan was bestowed by the late emperor, which shows how favored he was.

And he is indeed upright. Although he dislikes the stupid emperor very much, he manages the country for him diligently and sincerely.

This restricted Empress Jia, who was fond of arrogance and lewdness, so she directly issued an edict on behalf of the emperor and killed his entire family on the charge of "plotting to abolish the establishment."

In the end, only Wei Jie, mother and son, who happened to go out, survived.

This has to mention Wei Jie's body.

He had been frail and sickly since he was a child. He felt unwell that day, so his mother took him out to seek treatment from a doctor. His brother escorted them out and happened to escape the disaster.

By the time they received the news, the family was dead.

Zhao Changyu and other court officials also received the news and reacted. While preventing Empress Jia from continuing to kill people, they severely wanted to investigate the origin of the edict.

Because Empress Jia was correcting the imperial edict, she knew that the matter could not withstand careful investigation, so she could only let Wei Jie, mother and son go. Zhao Changyu and others also knew that justice could not be found at this time, so they could only put Wei Jie, mother and son first. Send him away to avoid this storm.

After this incident, Zhao Changyu felt that sooner or later it would be his turn, because he was also one of the main advocates who advocated deposing the prince.

Apart from Wei Guan, he is the second person.

So he began to prepare a way out.

He purchased a large amount of land in Luoyang, connected it together and quietly arranged his troops there.

At the same time, he began to find a marriage partner for his son.

Zhao Changyu had difficulty conceiving, but the couple worked hard for many years and finally gave birth to a son, named Zhi.

He was not in good health. Zhao Changyu originally wanted to wait until he was sixteen years old before proposing a marriage, but after a long delay, they got married after he was eighteen years old.

The current government advocates early marriage and early childbearing, but every smart scholar is a senior medical practitioner and knows that the best age for marriage is after adulthood for both men and women.

If you get married too early, not only will the child you are born have a high chance of dying, but your own lifespan will also be hampered.

Zhao Zhi was in poor health, and Zhao Changyu had always wanted to postpone his age of marriage, but now, the situation was turbulent and his marriage could no longer be delayed.

Zhao Changyu began to propose marriage for his son.

To be honest, there are many people who want to marry Zhao Changyu, but they don't dare.

Zhao Changyu had good official character, talent, foresight, and a good family background. How could a man who was once praised by Yu Zhi as a "thousand-foot-long pine" be any worse?

But...he offended Queen Jia.

Looking at Wei Guan's fate, it is not certain whether he will survive until the end of this year. Although they admire him very much and want to marry him, they dare not.

As a result, Zhao Zhi's marriage was delayed.

It's not that I really can't find a daughter-in-law, but it's so bad that even Zhao Changyu, not to mention Zhao Zhi, looks down on her.

He himself is a person who would rather lack than abuse, let alone wrong his son.

In the end, it was Mrs. Wang who took action. She wrote to her family in Taiyuan and invited her nieces to visit Beijing.

The Wang family in Taiyuan was also afraid, but couldn't refuse them directly, so they sent a few girls from the side branch over. Wang Lihua was an accident.

She is a direct descendant, but her mother died young and her father is not very close to her. In comparison, she is more familiar with her aunt Wang Niangzi.

When her grandmother was still alive, she would take her to stay in the capital every year. She was also very close to her aunt Wang Niangzi.

She had no idea about Zhao Zhi, her cousin, but she heard from her brothers in the family that if her uncle was questioned, Zhao Zhi would probably be like a member of the Wei family.

"Even if he escapes and survives, he can only hide in the countryside. Why bother to harm our girls? Why not go back to the village and marry a village girl." He looked gloating.

Wang Lihua was very angry after hearing this. She jumped out of the rockery and said: "When a relative is in trouble, brothers don't offer to help. They shouldn't add insult to injury like this. They even lose the most basic integrity."

The brothers who were gloating over their misfortune suddenly turned red and turned livid, and asked, "Do you have any shame in eavesdropping on people like this?"

"What eavesdropping? I'm just sitting and resting here on the rockery. It's because you don't have a good eye. You don't choose anywhere else. You have to choose here to speak ill of my uncle's family. You insist on telling me what's wrong behind my back. How can I stop you? ?"

"You're a girl, you're not too sharp-tongued. What do you know about things outside?"

"It makes no sense to talk about the difference between men and women. Oh~ I understand. It turns out that there are many Taoists behind the scenes. It turns out that making trouble for relatives is what you men are good at. We girls are ashamed of ourselves."

The Wang brothers were furious and started a quarrel. In the end, Wang Lihua was sent out. In the words of her uncle, "Since you are so loyal, you can go to the capital this time."

It's one thing for Wang Lihua to want to go on her own, but it's another thing to be forced to go.

She was so angry that she burst into tears. She cried all the way from Taiyuan to the capital, and said to Qing Gu who accompanied her: "I knew that everyone at home bullied me and I didn't have my parents to make the decision."

Qinggu wiped her tears and said, "Why didn't the girl think of this when she spoke uprightly?"

Wang Lihua said unconvinced: "My aunt is so kind to me, how can I watch them add insult to injury?"

She muttered casually, "My father doesn't care about me. Only my aunt remembers my birthday. She sends people to give me birthday gifts every year. During the New Year and holidays, I also have everything my brothers and sisters have. In the past years, when I lived in the capital with my grandmother, They have received so much kindness from their aunt, and their family is not in trouble yet, so they are going to treat my aunt's family like this, and how can they pay it back when they are really in trouble?"

"They are also stupid. If a relative is in trouble, if we don't offer help, at least we shouldn't add insult to injury. Otherwise, who will dare to be related to our Wang family in the future?"

Qinggu: "Young girl clearly knows the truth, but she is too hot-tempered and can't hide her words. Otherwise, how could you be pushed out by them if you have such knowledge? You will have to change your temper in the future. Fortunately, this The second time was to go to my aunt’s house. If I went to another house, I don’t know what would happen.”

Wang Lihua muttered and refused to admit defeat.

Although Mrs. Wang has been married for many years, she still has eyes and ears in her natal family. Before these girls arrived, she knew what was going on at home.

She was also a little annoyed that her already bad health was getting worse.

Zhao Zhi and Zhao Changyu both advised her to be more open-minded, "It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm, so there is no need to embarrass them too much. But Lihua is a very loyal child, so it is not in vain for you to take care of her in the past years."
