Chapter 581 Flowers in the Greenhouse
Maybe I've seen a lot of things recently and have had more contact with Magistrate Liang.
Sheng Jiu actually understood the implication of Wen Mingzhi's words.
In a rage, they made careful plans and finally overthrew the incompetent old emperor and sent him to his death.
Although the matter was resolved to a small extent.
However, subsequent problems also arise.
That is, the newly appointed king will think that you can dethrone the old emperor just because you dislike him, but what if he does not do a good job?
He can't always do it right, right?
This kind of thing will only stop being remembered from time to time after two or three generations of emperors have passed.
Just like in ancient times, when an emperor was strangled to death by a palace maid, the succeeding emperor might be on guard for one or two years, or even ten or twenty years.
However, after two generations of emperors, the newly appointed emperor may not pay attention to this issue all the time, nor will he take more precautions.
After all, palace maids are indispensable.
You can't be the emperor and still do everything yourself, right?
By the same token, ministers are also indispensable, so we still need to pay attention to them.
Moreover, if one is always on guard and there is no trust between the ruler and his subjects, then this kingdom will probably be destroyed sooner or later.
However, now is the time of transition from the old to the new. The old emperor has just passed his seventh day of mourning, and the new emperor is most wary of this time.
It is easy to imagine that the days of these former ministers will not be easy.
When the new emperor comes to power, it is naturally impossible for him to take action against these ministers first.
But, after a long time, who can guarantee anything?
Fortunately, the Wen family originally wanted to protect themselves and had no intention of getting involved in other things.
The main branch of the Wen family is now preparing to retire.
After two or three generations of emperors have passed, they can rise again.
The Wen family has many years of heritage, so they are not afraid of such troubles.
Rather than staying and sowing the seeds of genocide, it is better to retreat early and strive to make a comeback one day!
Wen Mingzhi said this in a low voice, but she was not in a depressed mood, and even felt a little relieved.
She was thankful that the old emperor was dead and no one could oppress the concubines and torture them all the time.
People like them who come from good families would naturally not be overly tortured by the old emperor. Even at his age, the old man still had some dignity and was willing to give his subjects some face.
Of course, sometimes the madness may be out of control.
After all, if a minister says to kill someone, he can do it, let alone a concubine?
Wen Mingzhi has actually been living in fear during this period, fearing that if she is not careful, she will be in trouble and bring trouble to the Wen family.
Fortunately, it's over.
it's all over.
Thinking of this, Wen Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her like this, Sheng Jiu thought for a moment and asked curiously, "So...what are your plans for the future?"
after?
After hearing this, Wen Mingzhi was stunned.
After thinking about it, he smiled with relief: "It's not bad to be accompanied by the ancient Buddha and the green lamp."
This is another thing that Wen Mingzhi is grateful for.
As long as she doesn't want to, there is no need to get married again.
Although the new emperor was kind, he did not allow the concubines to be buried with the old emperor. In order to show his magnanimity, he even allowed the concubines who entered the palace without children to leave the palace and marry other men.
However, Wen Mingzhi knew that some things were just superficial work that the emperor had to do.
If she really gets married, who knows what will happen next?
Moreover, they were the old emperor’s concubines in the past, so most people wouldn’t dare to accept them, right?
However, you don't have to get married and stay in the palace to spend your retirement, or you can leave the palace and live in a Taoist temple or a nunnery.
The court will pay for this.
The Wen family is ready to retire, and Wen Mingzhi doesn't want to stay in the palace and spend her whole life guarding the square walls.
Come out, at least you can feel the free wind outside.
Although, she is no longer free.
However, life here is not as restrictive as in the palace, and I can live more comfortably.
After hearing this, Sheng Jiu felt a little sad.
In fact, they have the opportunity to choose another life.
However, they are not given many choices.
Sometimes it seems like they have to choose between two or three options, but in fact, their choice is only one of them.
The others are just fake projects to save face.
After figuring it out, Sheng Jiuwei sighed.
She wanted to ask, should she try to go to another place and start a new life?
But after thinking about the other party's family background, he felt that his small shop probably could not afford to support such an employee.
Wen Mingzhi...
Just looking at it gives people the feeling that I am very expensive and need wealth to water me.
The expression on Sheng Jiu's face was so easy to understand that Wen Mingzhi couldn't help but laugh after she understood: "What's that expression? I'm not that difficult to raise, am I?"
After asking, she shook her head helplessly: "Well, it's indeed difficult to take care of it. I'm used to spending it and using it, so I'm not used to starting over. I've been living a simple life. Actually, going to a Taoist temple is not bad. I don't even need to cut my hair. It's just like living in a different courtyard."
At the end, Wen Mingzhi's tone was a little melancholy: "Our lives...will always be like this, either in this yard or that yard."
Having said that, Wen Mingzhi looked straight at Sheng Jiu with obvious envy on her face: "So, I envy you, Xiao Jiu. Your life is so vivid that I envy you, but..."
I no longer have the courage to start over.
It may also be that the flowers have been kept in the greenhouse for too long and have long lost the ability to survive on their own in nature.
She wanted to take that step, but she hesitated at the intersection for a long time. Finally, she carefully retracted her step and walked back to their cage.
Wen Mingzhi knew that the wind outside was free and the world was vast.
However, she has lost the wings to fly freely and the brave heart.
She wouldn't feel too wronged even though she was trapped in a square space.
After all, this is how we will live in the past, present, and even future.
Once you get used to it, it won’t be sad anymore.
Sheng Jiu wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how.
Finally, he could only raise his hand and gently pat her shoulder: "Actually, think about it in a positive way. At least you don't have to worry about food and drink."
Sheng Jiu thought about whether to invite the other party to join.
Even if you are not an employee, you can still go to other dimensions to experience a different life.
However, for a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse, such a future is full of temptation, but such a decision is extremely difficult.
Let her give up her current comfortable life, give up her family and friends, and go to live in a completely new and unknown dimension.
How is this different from the human trafficking system?
Maybe it's because one is involuntary and the other is voluntary?
But it's hard to break away from the past.
If the past had not been so difficult, who would be willing to cut off the path they had taken?
