Chapter 157 There is only one truth
Changing "maid" to "concubine" means that the nature of the matter has changed. The emperor punished Yuchi Mingyue as a slave and became Yuwen Wen's maid, and the emperor gave Yuchi Mingyue to Yuwen Wen as a concubine, and sent a horse to become a daughter.
For the husband, a slave is a cow and a horse, while the concubine is a special toy for the husband. Giving the servant is a cow and a horse. Giving the concubine is a "friendship" between two men. The question is, does the emperor need such friendship with his ministers?
Unless it is the last emperor who deposed the emperor, otherwise only the emperor will take away the wives and concubines of his ministers. Where can the emperor give his queen (deposed queen) to others?
The difference in one word makes the meaning completely different. Yuwen Wen remembers a "secret history", which is "transmitted to the Fourth Prince".
According to legend, before Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, he left a will to "pass the throne to the 14th prince". As a result, the fourth prince Yinzhen sent someone to add a horizontal line to the word "Ten" on the will, which turned into "passing on the fourth prince", so Emperor Yongzheng was born.
This secret history cannot stand scrutiny. First of all, the will is in both Manchu and Han dynasties. Secondly, the Qing Dynasty used traditional Chinese characters, so the imperial edict should be the "Yu" to pass the throne instead of "Yu". There is no possibility of adding a horizontal line to turn "Ten" into "Yu".
But now, if someone changes the "maid" in the imperial edict to "concubine", and has plenty of time to do things, scrape off the original handwriting with a knife and write "concubine", it can be concealed.
Yuwen Wen believed that this was a trap and would never step on it.
Through the "tactic understanding" formed by the Qianjin Princess and the Emperor, the emperor punished Yuchi Mingyue as a slave. After he gave Yuchi Mingyue to Yuwen Wen as a slave, Yuwen Wen would remove Yuchi Mingyue's slave and restore him to his freedom.
This is a method of joy. The emperor punished the deposed queen in front of everyone, and Yuchi Mingyue was able to live as a civilian, marry and have children from then on.
If the emperor acted according to the agreed routine, Yuwen Wen followed the routine and "adopted" Yuchi Mingyue. Even if the emperor did not have much real power, it would be strange if he was fooled by Yuwen Wen so much.
Yuwen Wen cares more about Yuchi Chifan's opinion. Perhaps in the other party's eyes, he is a lustful brother-in-law who covets his sister-in-law, a shameless villain who uses any means to achieve his goal, and even a scumbag in order to possess his sister-in-law.
Yuwen Wen didn't want to provoke the emperor, and didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings from his wife and sister-in-law, so he didn't take the blame, and the person who sets the trap must die!
At this moment, Yuwen Wen looked at the imperial edict in the sun, and even used a magnifying glass to carefully look at the word "concubine" on the imperial edict to see if there were any traces of correction.
He looked over and over again, raised the imperial edict, looked at the paper in front of the sun, and saw if the paper in the place where the word "concubine" is more translucent than other locations.
This behavior is to question the authenticity of the imperial edict, which is actually very rude. The officials who proclaimed the edict can be righteously questioned whether the person who did this matter would resist the edict and disobey the edict. However, at this time, Yu Wenji dared to say a word.
A man with bare hands and fists met a tiger in the wilderness. The tiger was less than five steps away from him. What was this feeling? Yu Wenhua didn't know about it before, but now he knows it.
After he finished promulgating the imperial edict, Yu Wen Wen stared at his eyes, like a fierce tiger staring at his prey. Yu Wen and that moment were so scared that they almost couldn't get the imperial edict. Now there is no confidence to scold Yu Wen Wen.
Wei Xuan, who was standing aside, saw Yuwen Wen's rude behavior and planned to stop him, but when he heard some abnormal content when he heard the imperial edict, he couldn't help but hesitate.
At the beginning of the year, the emperor had already deposed Empress Yuchi Mingyue as a commoner. Because the other party was far away in Yecheng, he could not impose substantial punishment.
Now, Yuchi Mingyue "comes back" with the eldest princess, and it is normal for the emperor to punish him, such as asking him to shave his hair and become a monk, or confiscate him as a slave. The latter is more punitive.
But after the emperor confiscated Yuchi Mingyue as a slave, he gave the King of Xiyang as his concubine, which made people think deeply.
Wei Xuan knew that Yuchi Mingyue was the sister of the Princess of Xiyang. He felt that the emperor's move was either cleverly using his female sex to win over the King of Xiyang, or the King of Xiyang was extremely lustful and asked the emperor for his wife and sister to be his concubine.
Now looking at Yuwen Wen's performance, Wei Xuan felt that the second type might be very small, so it was very likely that the emperor was winning over the King of Xiyang, meeting his preferences, and giving the beautiful deposed queen to the other party justified.
Wei Xuan heard someone say that when the emperor and the deposed queen were married, they only had the name of husband and wife, but they did not have the reality of husband and wife. So strictly speaking, the relationship between Yuchi Mingyue and the emperor was just a booklet and an edict.
There is no emotion, no bond of "a one-night couple with a hundred days of grace".
Yuchi Mingyue was deposed as a commoner at the beginning of the year, and was then confiscated as a slave. As a woman of the Yuchi family, the emperor rewarded him as a concubine to the royal family, which probably would not cause much criticism.
The emperor's decision is related to King Xiyang, and King Qi cannot not know that since the imperial edict can be successfully drafted and used the seal, King Qi has no objection and thinks that it is no big deal for his nephew (son) to take his wife and sister as his concubine.
Wei Xuan thought of this and walked to Yuwen Wen: "King?"
"Um?"
"The king's actions are rude..."
"oh."
Yuwen Wen responded and looked at the imperial edict intently. Seeing this, Wei Xuan didn't know how to continue, so Master Yinshi couldn't interrupt.
Yuwen Wen stared at the imperial edict, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, because he really could not see any traces of "maid" changing "concubine" on the imperial edict, which means that the imperial edict was true and the content was not changed.
Of course he knew how to distinguish the authenticity of the imperial edict, and the focus was on the word "concubine". Now it is impossible to prove that the imperial edict is false or that the word "concubine" was changed, so there is only one truth:
The emperor "sending his daughter" is to win him over. After all, few men can resist the temptation of stunning sisters.
Men always have some desires, mostly power and lust, it depends on whether they can suppress their desires they shouldn't have. Yuwen Wen can suppress them, so they have no substantial thoughts about their sister-in-law.
However, at this point, in the eyes of Yuchi Chifan and Yuchi Mingyue, he was probably a shameless and impatient person.
The yellow mud fell into the crotch, it was either shit or shit!
Yuwen Wen took over the imperial edict and handed it to the Yinshi Master beside him. His murderous aura had dissipated, but he absolutely did not accept the last paragraph of the imperial edict because he did not want a fire in the backyard.
"An angel, the emperor rewards the emperor, and the emperor is grateful to him, but the emperor cannot..."
"King Xiyang, this is the will of the emperor. This envoy is only responsible for reading it. If the King of Xiyang has any ideas, he can submit it."
Yu Wenji's answer is just right. He now feels like he is escaping from death. How dare he question Yu Wen Wen in person for "not obeying the order"? It seems that the other party really dares to kill people. Only when Yu Wen and his brain are broken will he tease Yu Wen Wen in person.
"The above statement...yes, the above statement...please take back the emperor..."
Yuwen Wen murmured, as if a drowning man caught a floating wooden board. Seeing this, Wei Xuan quickly made up the scene: "The angel is running all the way, and I think I am exhausted. The lower officials and others have ordered the inn to prepare food and drinks, and ask the angel to come to the table."
"Ah, no hurry. I have to greet the eldest princess. This was explained by the emperor himself."
Yu Wenhua and conveyed the emperor's greetings to the Qianjin Princess and handed a letter to the Qianjin Princess: "Your Highness, the emperor is in Chang'an. When you hear the news of Your Highness's return safely, you cry with joy and wish you could come to pick up your highness in person. This is the emperor's handwritten letter, please hold it."
"It's a angel." Princess Qianjin took the letter. When she saw Yuwen Wen's bleak look, she also saw Sister Yuchi's stupid look, and couldn't help but ask, "Angel..."
"The official is here."
"Why is the emperor..."
"Your Highness, Otsukazu knows the content of the imperial edict."
