Chapter 3072 Night Talk in the Alchemy Room (continued)
It is difficult to define the nature of some things in this world, such as "near things are not inferior to them, and things that are far away are resentful." Among them, where are the clear standards for "far and near"?
When you say near, you are close; when you say far, you are far; between far and near, there is one mind.
In the same way, you can say that she has broken the shackles of feudal marriage and has the right to pursue true love. You can also say that she ignores the constraints of secular etiquette and is a disgrace to women. She does not respect the three obediences and the four virtues, which is a shame among women...
At the very least, Princess Fangling herself didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did.
The fusion of Han and Hu from the royal family of Li and Tang Dynasties does not follow the moral system advocated by Confucian classics, but is more of the willfulness of the Hu people in the grassland to go their own way. As long as I think I should do it, I don't care about others. Secular etiquette and moral constraints.
Therefore, later generations have always had a low moral evaluation of the Li Tang royal family. This is where the so-called "dirty Tang stinkers" originated.
However, in those dynasties where the so-called feudal ethics were perfect, did they really abide by the etiquette and laws and be as pure as snow?
Not necessarily so.
In fact, even in the era of "preserving heaven's principles and destroying human desires", from the palace to the humble houses of the people, things that should happen are still happening. It's just that the Li Tang royal family is too lazy to cover up. I have my own way, you can say whatever you want, while some people talk about morals, secretly steal men and women who are prostitutes, become whores, and build tall and majestic archways.
There are many things that everyone has wanted to do at one time or another.
It's just that some people can stick to the bottom line of morality, restrain their desires, and know what to do and what not to do; while some people indulge their desires and do whatever they want without thinking about moral etiquette...< br>
Therefore, Princess Fangling never felt that there was anything wrong with what she did, and Princess Changle was not wrong at all.
It’s not like I want to take the man away from my sister, I just want to share it, why not? And maybe even Princess Gaoyang doesn't care. There are many examples of sisters serving one husband together, which is much better than men going out to hook up with three or four strong men.
"Girl, what are you so shy about in front of your aunt? Although Fang Jun is a tough guy, he is a tough man. He went to Zhongnan Mountain single-handedly to save you. How many people can do such a thing? ? It takes a lifetime to meet such a man who is willing to lay down his life for you. You must hold on to it firmly. ”
Princess Fangling put her arms around her niece's waist and whispered these shameless words into her ear, instilling her rebellious theories.
Princess Changle listened in silence for a long time, and the shyness in her heart subsided slightly. She felt that her aunt's hand on her waist made her feel a little itchy, so she turned over, looked up at the beams, and said softly: "I don't want to go back to the palace in the future. .”
Princess Faang Ling was stunned and asked curiously: "What are these words? You are His Majesty's favorite princess. Even if your affair with Fang Jun goes against the rules of etiquette, how can His Majesty punish you in the hearts of the people? If you are favored by the world, you will not return to the palace. , this glory and wealth has been reduced by an unknown amount. Are you stupid?”
As a princess, the royal family is her biggest supporter.
If an unmarried princess like Princess Changle does not return to the palace, rumors and slander will be overwhelming. Even if His Majesty continues to favor her, her daily expenses and status in the clan will be greatly reduced.
Even in the future, the title and name of Princess Changle will still be included in the royal family's ultimatum, and most of the clans have forgotten that there is such a person...
This is simply renunciation of the royal family and giving up the position of princess.
In the darkness, Princess Changle's face was a little red, and her voice was as light as a gnat: "I want... to have a child."
Princess Fangling was speechless for a moment.
What is most important to a woman? Wealth and glory are naturally important, the position of a princess is also important, and a husband is even more important. However, all of these are insignificant compared with children.
Mother is more valuable than her son.
This is not one-sided to say that only a promising child can reflect the dignity of the mother, but that the mother who has a son is the most noble.
When you are old, who can you rely on? In a world where men have three wives and four concubines, and their husbands are the most respected, men cannot be relied upon. No one knows whether yesterday's vows of eternal love will turn into a heartless one when they wake up. Faces age quickly, time passes quickly, and nothing in this world is more reliable than one's own flesh and blood.
Only by having a child, especially a son, can you have a worry-free life.
Princess Fangling was silent for a while. Although she felt that Princess Changle's affair with Fang Jun was nothing, but if she insisted on giving birth to a child for Fang Jun, it would be a bit out of line.
But he quickly accepted it and said: "Even so, why not go back to the palace? His Majesty may be angry when he learns about this, but it is just because of his face. You are his most beloved daughter, and Fang Jun is even more responsible. Even if Sheji is angry with Fang Jun, no one will really care about it after a while. ”
Princess Changle said: "How can that be done? He is Gao Yang's consort, and I already feel sorry for Gao Yang for having an affair with him. If I give birth to another child, how can I have the face to face my relatives and friends around me? I originally planned to In a few years, the ancient Buddha Qingdeng will die in this Taoist temple. If he can have a child by his side, it is already an extravagant wish, and he dare not ask for anything else. "
In the final analysis, although she took the step of being "unchaste", she still had her own concerns.
From the moment she agreed to Fang Jun, she made up her mind to gradually cut off contact with her relatives and friends, live in seclusion in the Taoist temple on the barren mountain, and never step out of Zhongnan Mountain again.
Princess Fangling was so anxious that she said angrily: "How old are you? It's so stupid to have these thoughts of hiding from the world and living in seclusion when you are still young! There are still great years waiting for you to enjoy. Do you think, if If you give birth to a child in the future, whether it is a son or a daughter, there will be such a How noble and honorable would it be to have a father who is a great figure in the world and you are a princess? All the children of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City must be suppressed one by one! Fang Er's talent is worthy of your appearance, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk , Auntie feels very strange just thinking about it..."
In the darkness, Princess Changle's eyes were shining, her hands gently covering her belly, her heart filled with hope and longing.
For a mother, a child is her second life.
If she really could have an outstanding child in the future, then no matter how her father punished her or what the world said, it would not matter to her.
No matter how thin her shoulders were, she thought she could hold up a sky for her child.
Besides, there is him...
*****
When Wei Hongbiao returned to his mansion, he went to the study to meet his father, Wei Ren, the governor of Fangzhou.
Although Wei Ren had the official position of "Fangzhou Governor", it was just a false title, which was equivalent to "enjoying the treatment of Fangzhou Governor", but the governor's power was not at all.
However, he is too old. Even though he has no power, he has a wide network of contacts. Even during the holidays in the palace, he will be rewarded. After all, the Wei family was related to the great ancestor Li Yuan by marriage...
< br>
Wei Ren was also shocked by his youngest son's suicide in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.
In addition to sadness, what lies ahead is a huge problem: What did that villain do to keep the secret secret even at the risk of death?
And is this secret a treasonous thing, and can it involve the entire Jingzhao-Wei family?
Today, His Majesty can indeed be regarded as a forgiving king, much stronger than a cruel lord like Emperor Sui Yang, but even so, as an emperor, there is a bottom line that cannot be touched, and that is imperial power.
Even if it is one's own closest relatives, once they come into contact with the imperial power, there will be no mercy at all.
Not to mention the mere Jingzhao Webster?
If that treacherous son Wei Hongguang really did something treacherous and unethical behind the scenes, Jingzhao Wei would face a disaster at some point.
Because even if Wei Hongguang is dead, it is still difficult to completely escape from the investigation of "Baiqisi"...
Wei Hongbiao is also a thoughtful, calm and wise man. He was a little confused because of the news of Wei Hongguang's death before, but now he has calmed down and his thoughts are very clear.
After the father and son had discussed for a long time, Wei Hongbiao felt that even if Wei Hongguang really did something, it might not involve the entire family. After all, the family had no idea what he was doing, and even the motive for committing suicide was at a loss, unless the "Hundred Qisi" was deliberately framed and maliciously framed.
However, Wei Ren said: "Whether the 'Baiqisi' will wantonly frame and maliciously frame us depends on whether Fang Jun wants to plunge our Jingzhao Weishi into a place of no return. Don't think that is impossible. Now Our Wei family is getting better and better day by day Xingsheng, I'm afraid it has aroused the vigilance of the prince's family. If Fang Jun thinks that our Wei family is likely to block the prince's way, he will definitely suppress our family severely even if he bends the law for personal gain." (End of Chapter)
