Give An Gong a good scolding and ask Wen Tao to write an article...
The more Empress Dowager An spoke, the more resentful she became. She was already dissatisfied with her brothers, and now her only child had been killed. All her anger was directed at Lord An.
Seeing that Empress Dowager An didn't even think of sending anyone to investigate, she directly determined that Lord An was the one who did it. Ju Yan and Bo You both breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the scapegoat was the right one.
"Queen Dowager, Lord An now controls the Kingdom of An and is determined to strengthen it. Since he became the ruler, An has indeed grown increasingly powerful. Over the years, he has swallowed up several small countries and has become the undisputed hegemon of An. Even if I wanted to avenge Lord Hui'an, it would be difficult to achieve."
Ju Yan was afraid that Queen Dowager An would act impulsively and send troops to attack An Guo.
As the empress dowager, the nominal mother of the emperor, Empress Dowager An also had her own troops and was able to mobilize part of the army.
After all, Lord An was only a vassal, not a real king. If Queen Mother An wanted to deal with him, she didn't need too many titles. The superior could launch an attack on the inferior.
Just like a big country can swallow up a small country.
However, whether the attack can defeat An Guo and successfully achieve the goal is not certain.
Anyway, judging from its current strength, Anguo has already dominated the area and its position is difficult to shake, while the Zhou royal family is gradually declining and has no strength to compete with local powerful people.
Ju Yan's words made Empress Dowager An silent. She took a deep breath, forced herself to suppress her anger, and gradually her rationality prevailed.
"Do you two have any good ideas?"
Juyan and Boyou worked for Empress Dowager An and could barely be considered her retainers. It was normal for her to ask them for advice at this moment.
Ju Yan and Bo You looked at each other and shook their heads. Empress Dowager An had no chance of winning against Duke An Guo.
"If my son hadn't died, how could he be so presumptuous!"
Seeing that the two were helpless, Empress Dowager An's anger, which she had suppressed with great difficulty, suddenly surged up. She was so angry that she stood up and smashed all the ornaments to the ground.
In a blink of an eye, the ground was in a mess. Juyan Boyu didn't dare to say a word and just let Empress Dowager An vent her anger.
When Empress Dowager An was getting angrier and angrier, and even disliked the two men and wanted to slap them twice to vent her anger, Boyou spoke.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I do have a plan, but it will be a burden to Your Majesty."
Boyou had so many brilliant ideas. Juyan had never expected that his friend could come up with a way to break the impasse at this time. Without waiting for Queen Mother An to say anything, he urged, "Tell us about it first."
The Queen Mother did not blame Ju Yan because she had the same idea.
Boyou said, "The solution is very simple. We just need to inform the emperor about this."
"Son of Heaven? She was once just a princess who hadn't read many books. Do you want that little Son of Heaven to fight against Lord An?"
Empress Dowager An immediately spoke with sarcasm, thinking that Boyou had been kicked in the head by a donkey.
Bo You hurriedly explained, "Queen Mother, no matter what the Emperor's status was in the past, she is still the Emperor now, the Emperor of the Zhou royal family, the true ruler of the world. No matter how powerful Lord An is, he is only one of the princes. How can he be more noble than the Emperor?"
Moreover, the problem was given to the emperor, who had many capable people around him, and perhaps they could quickly come up with a plan for revenge.
Boyou didn't think that the emperor would kill Lord An to avenge her half-brother. He just wanted to throw the problem away, as long as the empress dowager didn't continue to embarrass them.
Empress Dowager An listened to Boyou's words and gradually fell silent.
It seems to make some sense.
"But the Queen Mother may have to inconvenience the Queen Mother. She needs to personally explain to the King and ask him to agree to this matter." Boyou chose his words carefully, fearing that the Queen Mother An would not want to give in to the younger generation and force him to give advice.
Fortunately, Queen Mother An did not have such an idea. Thinking of the battle between the king and Lord An, Queen Mother An felt a little bit of pleasure in punishing the evildoers.
In the eyes of Empress Dowager An, Shen Zhiwei was not much better than Lord An in terms of bad character.
Queen Mother An thought again of the incident of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. In fact, she had recognized the ability of the little emperor since then. If nothing else, at least she was better than the previous king in grasping power and making good use of talents.
The previous king did not have a minister like Hu Youan who was strong and could understand the king's thoughts.
"Prepare the carriage, I will go to find the king myself!"
There is no time to lose, let's set off now.
Boyou Juyan hurriedly stopped Queen Dowager An and asked her to think it over before going. At the moment, Queen Dowager An was still emotional. If the king said something unpleasant, Queen Dowager An would quarrel with him again. Then there would be no hope at all.
Empress Dowager An listened to the two's advice and went to find Shen Zhiwei early the next morning.
After a good night's sleep, when Empress Dowager An came before Shen Zhiwei, she no longer looked as angry as she did yesterday.
After a night of sound sleep, Shen Zhiwei also strengthened her belief in becoming the king of a fallen country. She exuded a determined aura from the inside out.
She asked Hu Youan to find An Jin early in the morning. No matter who it was, he must break her pot today. If she couldn't eat fried food tomorrow, don't blame her for asking for trouble!
If she can't eat fried dishes tomorrow, she will go and hold Anshou accountable and ask him if it is disrespectful to the emperor by sending a bunch of dumb craftsmen who can't understand elegant language!
An Guo was powerful. If she offended An Guo, it would definitely cause turmoil in the court and the country. She might even be beaten by An Guo, further weakening the power of the Zhou royal family.
She is one step closer to becoming the king of a fallen country!
Shen Zhiwei had thought of everything, but she didn't expect that Queen Mother An would come and cry about the death of Hui'an Jun, and asked her to find out who killed her "brother king".
"When the late king was alive, he held your and Ziman's hands and told you two to support each other and work together to stabilize the Great Zhou. He also asked you to call Ziman "Brother King" with your own mouth. It's obvious that in the late king's heart, Ziman was no different from his own son. Now Ziman's body is scattered, an innocent and tragic death. Your Majesty, you must avenge Ziman!"
Empress Dowager An said, gritted her teeth and was about to kneel down, but as soon as her knees bent, Shen Zhiwei grabbed her.
Shen Zhiwei has been practicing the Six Arts of a Gentleman recently. Every day he is either riding a horse or shooting arrows. His hands are very strong. Before Empress Dowager An could react, she was grabbed by the huge force on her arms, and even her heels were raised for a moment.
If Shen Zhiwei's height was not still growing and was only slightly taller than Queen Mother An, Queen Mother An would probably have been pulled up by Shen Zhiwei with both feet in the air.
Queen Mother An widened her eyes in shock. Where did the king get so much strength?
Shen Zhiwei was also a little embarrassed. It might be that his original body was gifted. Anyway, even if he didn't practice, his original body was very strong. Now after practicing, he is even stronger.
If you really drag someone and make them swing in the air, then they won’t be able to see anyone from now on. It’s too embarrassing!
Shen Zhiwei thought to himself that he must be more careful when using strength in the future.
Then she released Queen Dowager An's arm and continued the conversation stiffly, "Your Majesty, there's no need to be so. My brother and I had a deep bond, and I'm equally grieving over his death. However, I don't know why he died, who killed him, or how I can avenge him."
She knew that she couldn't take revenge, so she was still waiting for Taibuyang to send her people who could farm.
Besides, is she the kind of good person who would avenge others and redress injustice? Which king of a fallen country would do such a good thing? She did not create hatred and injustice, even if she had high moral standards as a modern person.
"An Gongshou, it was he who killed Ziman! Your Majesty must avenge Ziman!"
When Empress Dowager An read out her brothers' names, it seemed as if she wanted to chew these three words into pieces.
The back teeth were clenched.
It seems that he really hates the other person, but why did Anshou suddenly become the murderer?
Empress Dowager An swore with great confidence and appeared to be completely certain.
If Shen Zhiwei had not seen with her own eyes and heard with her own ears that Taibu Yang had killed Hui'an Jun with her own hands, she would have believed Queen Dowager An.
"this……"
"Your Majesty! You must avenge Ziman!"
When Empress Dowager An saw Shen Zhiwei hesitate, she grabbed Shen Zhiwei and stared at her, as if she was going to hit her head against the pillar and die if Shen Zhiwei disagreed.
Those who didn't know would think that she was advising the king. If the king didn't agree, she would die and leave her name in history.
"Okay, Queen Mother, go back and wait. I will definitely give you an explanation."
Shen Zhiwei thought that she had originally intended to vent her anger on An Shou because she couldn't eat the fried dishes, but now it seemed that An Shou would have to endure her scolding whether there were any fried dishes or not.
There is no need to wait until tomorrow. I will write a verbal battle letter to An Shou today and let this arrogant Mr. An taste the feeling of being scolded.
After Shen Zhiwei agreed, she sent Queen Mother An away. Queen Mother An didn't seem to believe it, but she couldn't continue to pester her. She just waited for Shen Zhiwei to really give her an "explanation". If she was not satisfied then, she would come again.
As soon as Empress Dowager An left, Shen Zhiwei immediately turned around to write a scolding post. He ground the ink, held the pen tightly, looked at the brocade, and was unable to put pen to paper.
Shen Zhiwei has always been a spectator in modern verbal battles, which shows how poor her vocabulary is for verbal abuse. Now, if she is asked to write a collection of verbal abuse in classical Chinese, her mind goes blank and she can't remember a single word.
He picked up the pen several times, almost ruining the brocade with a drop of ink, but Shen Zhiwei still couldn't write it.
In desperation, she could only seek help from outside.
Wen Tao was brought into the palace by Chen Zhiwei.
After listening to Shen Zhiwei's request, Wen Tao fell into deep thought. With a flourish, Wen Tao wrote nearly a thousand words.
If the brocade cloth was not limited in size, Wen Tao could have written another thousand words.
Shen Zhiwei took it and looked at it, and said repeatedly: "Good, good, good!"
"Shan" does not mean that Wen Tao is a good person, but it means good.
"Color! Color!"
Just like people in modern times can only say "wow", now Shen Zhiwei can only say "shan" and "cai".
Cai naturally means wonderful, which means that this fu is really wonderful.
Wen Tao had never written such a long essay before, and it was all about cursing one person. She was actually a little nervous after she finished writing it, but now that she saw that the king liked it, she smiled with some relief.
"No one has ever written such an article before. Your Majesty is the first person in the world to do so."
The article was written by Wen Tao, but Wen Tao did not take credit for it. He only praised Shen Zhiwei for his ability.
Shen Zhiwei didn't quite agree with Wen Tao's words. She just came up with an idea, but Wen Tao was the one who actually wrote it down. How could she be considered the first person?
