"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I am not determined to go against the Queen Mother.
Wei Chen also knew that the Empress Dowager's gift of marriage to Wei Chen was a sign of appreciation and love for Wei Chen.
If I were not married, I would definitely be ecstatic about this and serve the Queen Mother like my direct grandmother from then on.
However, after all, I had already been married to the Wang family, and it was only after carrying the sedan chair and vowing to marry her that they entered the house. "
"The Queen Mother is a saint in this world, with a body that is in harmony with heaven and earth. She is generous and kind, and is known by both the government and the public.
Moreover, the Queen Mother is also a woman, and she should know that once a woman gets married, she will place everything on her husband.
If I were asked to divorce the Wang family at this time, how could I bear it?
The Wang family is an ignorant woman. If she is sent home like this, I am afraid that she will not be able to withstand such a blow. If something unexpected happens because of this, how can the Queen Mother bear it, and how can I let the ministers feel at ease from now on? ?
In this way, even if we marry His Highness Zhaoyang, I am afraid that we will not be able to have a happy and happy death in the future.
Wouldn't it violate the Queen Mother's original intention of making His Royal Highness Zhaoyang happy? "
Jia Lian turned his focus to the matter of divorcing his wife, and the Queen Mother did not hold on to her previous words.
Seeing that Jia Lian's words were so true, she, like Yuan Chun and Zhao Yang, fell silent.
She didn't expect that Jia Lian was more masculine than she imagined, and even more... admirable.
"Besides, there is a teaching in the ancient law: seven times out, three times out.
The so-called three do not leave.
One is to marry and have nothing to return to.
The Queen Mother may not know that Wang's parents have died and her only biological brother is far away in the south of the Yangtze River.
If she is abandoned at this time, she will not even have a place to return to.
Isn't this just a case of marrying but getting nowhere?
Two, and the third year of mourning.
Although Mrs. Wang had not been a filial piety for her parents for three years, her father died in early spring. Mrs. Wang took care of the mourning for her father for more than a month. Her feet never touched the ground and she almost never had a good night's sleep. He fulfills his filial piety sincerely, and I ask myself why he is so sincere.
Isn’t this enough to account for one of them?
Third, first be poor and then be rich.
Before Wang married his minister, he was still a dandy, unable to understand everything, and everything went wrong.
It wasn't until after marrying the Wang family that things gradually improved.
Until now, Wei Chen has been promoted to the fourth rank, his title has been added to his title, and his wealth is far more than ten times higher than before.
Isn’t this the case of being poor first and then rich?
According to the teachings of the sages, if a woman does not get rid of any of these three, her husband's family will not abandon her even if she violates the seven rules.
Not to mention, the Wang family did not violate the rule of seven coming out, but those who did not go out three times took advantage of it.
In such a situation, how could the minister bear it and give it up without any shame?
If I really did this, not only would I not be able to see my relatives and friends, but I would also be criticized verbally and written by scholars all over the world. I am afraid that if the news spreads, it would also damage the Queen Mother's sanctity.
Therefore, I dare not obey the orders of the Queen Mother, but I also ask the Queen Mother's Sacred Heart to consider it. "
After Jia Lian finished speaking, you could hear a needle drop in the huge main hall of Weiyang Palace.
Even those palace maids and eunuchs were often stunned.
How much General Jia loves the general's wife and how considerate he is to say such words in front of the Queen Mother!
Even the slaves were deeply touched after hearing this, feeling that if a woman could find a husband who protected her in this way, death would be enough.
After all, it's just a matter of words. If they had not sincerely defended her, how could that woman whom they had met once be so good and pitiable by General Jia?
Inside the bead curtain, Yuan Chun, who was kneeling on the ground with Jia Lian, gave up the thought of family interests for a moment and looked back at Jia Lian.
She suddenly recalled the woman she had met in Fengzao Palace before, the brother-in-law whom she didn't care much about. At this time, she felt that her face, which smiled like sunshine and cried like rain, was a mess no matter how you looked at it. Blessings.
Otherwise, how could she be so lucky to meet a man who treats her like this and is so capable?
Princess Zhaoyang also understood that even if she could snatch Jia Lian away by virtue of her status as queen mother, she would not be able to replace Wang's position in Jia Lian's heart, let alone make up for the rift caused by today's incident.
Therefore, she also took two steps back and knelt beside the Queen Mother. Although she did not speak, the meaning expressed by her eyes and actions was very clear.
As a result, the Queen Mother became a lonely person sitting alone on the phoenix chair.
She didn't need to be reminded, she had already realized that in this situation, if she forced Jia Lian again, it would look like she was being arrogant and ignorant of right and wrong!
There were two choices before her at this moment.
One is to follow the steps set up for her in Jia Lian's words and become a generous and kind saint.
In fact, she doesn't have to marry Zhaoyang to Jia Lian, nor does she have to be a villain who breaks up people's marriages.
Just because when she met Jia Lian for the first time today, from the first sentence, Jia Lian was not very obedient to her, which made her a little angry.
She didn't find it difficult to accept giving up at this time.
But she always felt that if she accepted Jia Lian's statement so easily, she would feel like she had fallen into Jia Lian's language trap!
Is Jia Lian really as innocent as he said, caring for his beloved wife wholeheartedly?
The Queen Mother doesn’t think so.
So, looking at Jia Lian outside the curtain, who still looked tall and majestic even though he kowtowed on the back of his hand, she chose the third path.
"According to what you said, if I don't agree to your request and take back the decree, it will appear that I don't know right from wrong and I'm unkind?"
The Queen Mother sneered.
"Wei Chen didn't dare and didn't think so."
"Humph, I will ask you to investigate whether the facts are as you said. If you are asked to find out if you have deliberately deceived or induced me, I will not forgive you.
It is limited to seven days. Within seven days, as long as I find out that what you said is untrue, or you have committed other crimes, Jia Lian, you will be waiting to bear my wrath.
However, for the sake of saving my life, I can give you another chance.
Within seven days, before I find evidence of your crime, I allow you to retaliate. At that time, you can enter the palace with your divorce letter to the Wang family, and I can forgive you. "
After all, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, the supreme figure in the world, and naturally she does not want to be led by Jia Lian.
Therefore, she wants to take the initiative into her own hands.
As for what she said, everyone has their own understanding of the specific meaning. In short, it is:
She is very dissatisfied with Jia Lian!
She also made it clear that she wanted to find evidence of Jia Lian's crime!
Not to mention the Queen Mother, even if any official said this to another official, the other official would have trouble sleeping and eating!
Taking into account the seven-day limit given by the Queen Mother, it is obvious that the Queen Mother is still forcing Jia Lian to submit.
But it was not as tough as before, and a seven-day cooling-off period was given. If Jia Lian or the Jia family could not withstand her pressure and took the initiative to seek peace, then it would not be her, the Queen Mother, who was arrogant and unreasonable and forced her ministers.
Jia Lian also heard some of the Queen Mother's meaning. He didn't know whether the Queen Mother was serious or just threatening him.
But he didn't dare to bargain any more.
Even Yuanchun and Zhaoyang have already knelt down to plead for him. If they continue to hold on to their merits and forcefully stroke the tiger's beard, both parties will never be able to step down.
Therefore, Jia Lian knelt and thanked him: "Weak minister, thank you very much for your kindness, and thank you for your magnanimity."
At least, today's test is over. As for what the Queen Mother will do next, we can only tell at that moment.
Naturally, the Queen Mother could tell that Jia Lian deliberately used words such as mercy and magnanimity to misunderstand her meaning and to show that she had given up persecuting them.
So he snorted and said: "You don't have to take my words to heart and see if I can cure you in the end.
As for the loan you and your wife made, I will explain this matter to Your Majesty. As for how His Majesty handles it, you will be happy. "
Jia Lian's heart tightened. She dared to take responsibility for Wang Xifeng because she knew that this responsibility would not pose a big threat to him.
But I couldn't stand it because the Queen Mother personally reported it to the Emperor!
The Queen Mother was the emperor's aunt, and if he really wanted to deal with him, Emperor Ning Kang would not hold back even if he took care of the Queen Mother's face.
"Okay, please step back."
Jia Lian was just about to say a few more good words to calm the Queen Mother down, but without saying a word, the Queen Mother just tossed her phoenix robe and went to the back hall.
Upon seeing this, Princess Zhaoyang raised her head and gave Jia Lian a reassuring look, then got up and chased after him.
