From the heavenly family to the people, there are many examples of relatives becoming enemies.
The difference is that after feuding among the people, relatives will never interact with each other for the rest of their lives. They will curse behind their backs during festivals and festivals, or even more extreme, they will secretly pull out their seedlings in the middle of the night.
Tianjia is different.
When relatives in the Tian family become enemies, it's really a matter of life and death. The desire to kill each other is no longer just a curse, but actually put into action.
For example, in the Anren Hall at the moment, there are only four people, Empress Wu, brother Wu Weiliang, Wu Huaiyun, and Mrs. Wei, but they form a magical scene where the three parties are enemies of each other, which is more chaotic than the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The Wu brothers and Mrs. Wei were sitting in the palace, feeling very tormented. This was not the original form of family ties, but Empress Wu didn't say goodbye, so no one dared to leave.
Someone must break the awkward atmosphere. Everyone should be decent, even the enemies should smile.
After a long time, Empress Wu finally spoke.
"I heard that the two brothers visited my mother the day before yesterday?" Empress Wu asked in a cold tone.
The Wu brothers turned pale.
Of course they would not naively think that Empress Wu's words were meaningless chatter.
That night, they had a banquet and got drunk at Mrs. Yang's house, Mrs. Rongguo. They all clearly remembered what they said to Yang after they woke up. They heard that Yang was so angry that she cried, and they were so frightened that they both broke into cold sweats.
Today, the two of them took the initiative to enter the palace to pay homage to Empress Wu, somewhat as a sign of apology.
Wu Weiliang immediately knelt down facing Empress Wu and said in a trembling voice: "I was drunk and said a lot of disrespectful things. I am guilty."
Empress Wu smiled coldly and said: "We are all members of our own family, so there is no need to discuss your faults. You are the ones who have made meritorious deeds, and the court's preferential treatment of you is a favor to your fathers. You don't need to take credit from others. You still have a lot of integrity." of."
The Wu brothers were sweating coldly, these words were very strange. At present, the two brothers hold the official position of governor. They know better than anyone how they got the official position of governor.
Although he was favored by the empress but did not accept her favor, no one could blame him for this. No wonder Empress Wu sounded so dissatisfied.
"All the records of meritorious officials are given by the Queen. If I make a mistake while drunk, I will die!" Wu Huaiyun knelt down with a pale face.
Empress Wu hummed indifferently, and suddenly said: "I heard that you came to Beijing to report on your work. How many days have you been in Chang'an?"
Another heart-wrenching sentence made the Wu brothers become more and more panicked.
There was no excuse for this, and Empress Wu's tone was clearly asking for guilt.
"I, I am guilty, and I am willing to accept the punishment." The two brothers simply admitted it.
Mrs. Wei Guo looked at the Wu brothers and then at Empress Wu. After sipping it carefully, she felt that the matter had nothing to do with her, so she sat aside with peace of mind and acted like a crowd.
After a long silence, Empress Wu sighed and said: "You don't want to be honored by me, and you don't want to take up the duties of the imperial court. Why don't you leave the official position and return home to become a rich man with no worries about food and clothing? This will also avoid you from all kinds of misdeeds. It will implicate me."
The Wu brothers lowered their heads and remained silent, not daring to answer.
They are not stupid. Being an official is certainly much better than being a rich man. Asking them to resign and go back is impossible.
After some questions and answers, the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly solemn.
After a long time, Empress Wu broke the silence again. After letting out a long sigh, she seemed to feel both helpless and forced to tolerate the words and deeds of the Wu brothers.
"That's all, this matter will be discussed later. I hope you can be careful in your words and deeds in the future and not violate loyalty and filial piety."
The Wu brothers breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly leaned over to thank him.
After ignoring this unpleasant topic, Empress Wu finally showed a smile on her face.
"I heard that you entered the palace today and brought gifts to me?"
Wu Wei felt relieved and hurriedly smiled and said: "These are a few boxes of pastries that I brought from my hometown in Bingzhou. The Queen lives deep in the harem, and I am afraid that she has not heard the local accent or tasted the local delicacies for many years. I specially bought them from Bingzhou and dedicated them to the Queen." Tasting, the gift is being inspected by the palace staff and will be delivered after a while."
When courtiers bring things into the palace, especially food-related things, according to the procedure, they must be inspected by the palace staff and confirmed to be non-toxic before they are sent to the nobles in the palace.
Empress Wu nodded. Of course she wouldn't believe the nonsense about Bingzhou delicacies. The Wu brothers would never be so interested in her. They must have just bought a few boxes from a pastry shop in Chang'an to cope with it.
Not long after, a palace official entered the palace holding a gift box. The gift box was opened, and it was indeed a beautifully made pastry.
】
Empress Wu picked up a piece of pastry, with a smile on her lips. She suddenly turned her eyes and smiled at Mrs. Wei Guo who had been silent for a long time: "I remember that you like delicious food. These pastries were brought by my two uncles from Bingzhou." , the elders’ wishes are rare, come and try it.”
Mrs. Wei's eyes flashed with joy when she saw that Empress Wu was rarely pleasant to her.
Although the two were love rivals, Empress Wu was in charge of the harem, and Mrs. Wei did not want her relationship to become too tense, otherwise she would not even be able to enter the palace if she wanted to see Li Zhi in the future.
So what kind of pastry was handed over by Empress Wu at this moment? It was clearly an olive branch representing peace and non-killing.
So Mrs. Wei stood up in a hurry, walked to Empress Wu in small steps, took the cake from her with both hands respectfully, thanked her, and ate it gracefully in front of her.
After eating it, no matter how it tasted, Mrs. Wei put on a smile and praised how delicious it was, especially because it was given by the Queen, it was even more delicious.
Seeing that she had finished eating the pastries, Empress Wu also smiled, a particularly kind smile. At this moment, the air was finally filled with the smell of family affection.
The Wu brothers also laughed, this atmosphere was just right, so warm, touching and peaceful.

Winter is coming soon, and the fish in the Weishui River are getting fatter and the shrimps are getting stronger.
For a salty fish who doesn’t seek advancement, this time is certainly a good time for fishing.
The biggest advantage of ancient times is that everything eaten in the mouth is green, environmentally friendly and pollution-free, with no pesticides, no additives and no genetic modification.
Li Qinzai set up fishing rods by the river early in the morning, and there were still two fishing rods.
The fishing rod was carefully made by craftsmen. The green bamboo from Zhongnan Mountain was polished and knotted, withered and painted. The strongest fishing line was selected, and the most rebellious goose feathers were plucked raw to make a float. Even the fishing hook was made by Li Qinzai himself. Become.
Not only that, there is a tool box next to it. There are several small drawers inside, which not only store various types of fishing hooks, but also bait boxes, rice wine boxes for making nests, etc.
Just in line with the saying in Jianghu, the more sophisticated people are, the more complete their tools are.
As the saying goes, "bad students have more stationery" and "cannon fodder earns more money." Although Li Qinzai, a half-skilled fishing friend, is not very good at fishing, he still needs all the tools, otherwise he will look unprofessional.
Failure to catch fish is a matter of skill, but tools are not entirely a matter of attitude.
There are piles of pebbles on the beach by the river. Wherever you look, the autumn water has the same color as the sky. It is a beautiful scenery withered in late autumn.
Li Qinzai sighed contentedly, but suddenly felt that there was something wrong with it.
Next time you go fishing, bring a small red stove to warm plum wine, a small coffee table with snacks on it, and an immoral spring party picture album on your lap...
Eating garlic and drinking coffee, it is both elegant and popular, salty and wet for all ages, how elegant it is.
