Chapter 1002: Confucianism?

Latest website: Snowflakes dance with the wind.
Under several plum trees, a woman wrapped in a white fox fur stood under it, stretching out her hands, snowflakes and plum blossoms fell on her hands.
The snowflakes quickly melted into water droplets and fell from the gaps between their fingers.
The plum blossom petals only stayed for a short time before leaving with the wind.
After a while, the woman's hands were still empty.
Sheng Zhonghuai stood in the distance, watching the woman with a peerless face standing alone in the wind and snow, her skirt flying with her hair flying, and her face was as white as porcelain. She couldn't help but sigh softly.
In my memory, this is what she was like when she married Zhu Youyu more than ten years ago.
More than ten years have passed, and the years have added countless bright hair and countless gullies to my head, but it seems like I have forgotten this woman. Although I have given birth to two children, my face is still the same as before.
Unfortunately, the poor life of a beautiful woman still plays a ruthless role in this powerful woman with a powerful family background. Even though her father and husband are the top group of powerful people in the world and the ones who love her the most, they still cannot protect her.
I still remember the first time I knew that Emperor Zhu Wen had actually involved his daughter-in-law, and the one who caused this was Zhu Wen's wife, and my heart was really cold.
He knew that Zhu Youyu valued Dai Shu and that Dai Chao loved this daughter.
He also knew Zhu Youyu's hot temper best. If this matter was exposed, it would cause a huge disaster, so he could only help cover it up.
Unfortunately, the fire cannot be kept in the paper.
Things finally broke out.
And Zhu Youyu also exploded.
With one knife, the original thriving beam was cut off by this knife.
Father and son are slaughtering each other, brothers are scrambling.
The backbone of the beam was broken.
In this process, Dai Shu lost her father and husband. Apart from her children, she had lost all her relatives.
And the nightmare is not over.
When he came to join Zhu Yougui, the second prince also coveted her beauty and his greed for her has become increasingly unconcealed. From the beginning, some frivolous and tempting, it is now becoming more and more obvious.
After standing for a while, Sheng Zhonghuai felt cold hands and feet, but Dai Shu didn't know how long she had been standing under the tree.
After walking slowly over, Sheng Zhonghuai whispered: "Empress, it's cold outside, so it's actually OK to enjoy the plum blossoms in the house."
Dai Shu turned her head slowly, "Zhonghuai, are you here?"
Sheng Zhonghuai nodded: "Empress, go back to your room."
Dai Shu turned around and became more and more agitated, but she staggered and almost fell. Sheng Zhonghuai quickly took a step forward and supported her. When she stood firm, she hurriedly let go of her hand.
"Be careful, Empress."
"After standing for a long time, my feet are numb." Dai Shu smiled self-deprecatingly, beat her legs for a while, and then walked towards the house.
As soon as he walked into the house, a heater came to his face. The girl quickly handed Dai Shu a hand stove, waited Dai Shu to make it by the brazier, and poured hot tea for the two of them.
"I heard that Zhonghuai met the person sent by the third brother today?" Dai Shu stared at the burning charcoal fire with her eyes and asked softly.
"Yes." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "The Third Highness wants to win over me. Now he is at a loss. Chang'an, Guanzhong is not in a position to guard him, and he wants to find a way out."
"Do you want you to kill Zhu Lao Er?" Dai Shu sneered. "He has killed his eldest brother, and now he doesn't even want to let him go?"
Sheng Zhonghuai remained silent.
"Did you promise him?" Dai Shu looked up suddenly and looked at Sheng Zhonghuai, her eyes instantly becoming cold.
Sheng Zhonghuai nodded: "I told Sun Tonglin that if the third prince is willing to go to the imperial title, give up Chang'an Guanzhong, and lead his army to retreat to Hanzhong, I will help him seize Yizhou."
Hearing this, Dai Shu seemed to be a little awakened, Zhan Yan smiled: "It turns out that you want to deceive him into Hanzhong and kill him to avenge His Majesty. Unfortunately, he will never agree."
Sheng Zhonghuai shook his head and said, "No, Empress, with my understanding of the Third Prince, he will definitely agree. Moreover, I am not lying to come to Hanzhong to kill him. If he really has such courage, I will indeed help him obtain Yizhou."
Dai Shu's face changed suddenly. He looked at Sheng Zhonghuai and said word by word: "Zhonghuai, have you forgotten who did Your Majesty die?"
Sheng Zhonghuai pondered for a moment and said, "Empress, the dead are gone. No matter what we do, they cannot come back, nor can they know that now, I need to plan for the living, for you, and your Majesty's children."
"Will Zhu Laosan let us go?"
"At least, the third prince is still blameless in his personal character." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Empress, the second prince is very anxious. If this continues, unless I turn against him, I will never be able to protect you."
With a swish, Dai Shu's face, who had just had some blood, turned white again.
She covered her face and started sobbing silently.
Sometimes, she was really cruel to scratch her face. If it weren't for this face, Zhu Wen wouldn't have possessed herself, Zhu Youyu wouldn't have killed her father, and the Zhu brothers wouldn't have killed each other, and even to this point. Today, the second son of the Zhu family actually wanted to dominate herself again.
Sheng Zhonghuai refused to persuade him and let Dai Shu cry happily.
"The Second Highness has been forcing me to attack Xiangyang immediately. This is certainly because everyone is going to connect to Li Ze now, but in his heart, what is more important is to drive me away so that he can attack you. Once he leads his army to leave, he will be unscrupulous." Sheng Zhonghuai said.
"As long as the children are safe, it doesn't matter to me." Dai Shu said with a chance.
"No!" Sheng Zhonghuai said angrily: "I will never allow such a thing to happen."
Sheng Zhonghuai's voice seemed to scare Dai Shu a little, and she stared at Sheng Zhonghuai in a daze.
As if he was aware of his incompetence, Sheng Zhonghuai took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"The Second Highness, no matter whether it is civil or military, is not enough to take on a great responsibility. Once the enemy attacks, he will not be able to defend Yizhou at all. Although the Third Highness has a slight relationship with us, this person is more trustworthy than the Second Highness, whether public or private. If he can really go to the imperial title and withdraw from Chang'an this time, it will be enough to show his courage. If he can control Yizhou, he can protect us for a longer time and give me enough time to arrange for you and Your Majesty's children to leave this place of right and wrong."
"Appoint us to leave?" Dai Shu raised her swollen eyes in surprise and looked at Sheng Zhonghuai.
"Yes, leave!" Sheng Zhonghuai nodded: "Even if the third prince retreated to Yizhou, it was not a long-term solution. In the end, he could not compare to Li Ze or Xiang Xun. If the two tigers fight, we are caught between us and we are likely to become the first victim. The difference is only the length of time. And in the future, whether Li Ze can win the world or Xiang Xun can win the world, it will be difficult for you and your two children to live freely. Either you are killed or imprisoned for the rest of your life, how can I let this happen?"
"But this world is so big, where can we go?"
"Of course there is a place to go." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Overseas, I will arrange for you to go overseas. As long as you have enough money and enough force, those islands overseas can become your paradise. On those islands, there are many indigenous people who have not yet been civilized. Wherever you can become a free queen, live whatever you want. No one will disturb you anymore."
Listening to Sheng Zhonghuai's description, Dai Shu's eyes couldn't help but shiny. If she really had such a life, how wonderful it would be.
"The people I sent out have already selected their goals, and the sea ships to go out to sea have been customized. The best sea ships built by Haixing Shipyard have long been built. Now I need time and power to obtain more money to support this action." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "The Second Highness cannot meet the conditions for me to do these things, so I can only let the Third Palace come down to control Yizhou."
“Is it really possible to do this?”
"Please believe me, I will do it. We don't lack manpower, but now we are short of a lot of money." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "When I arrive at the island, I hope that the Empress will live in a luxurious palace, eat the best food, and enjoy the best life, rather than burrowing the ravine and living in thatched huts."
"Then what do I need to do now?" Dai Shu asked.
"There is something that I want to ask for help from the Queen." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "The trick Zhu Yougui to Hanzhong is the key to our success or failure. When there is news from Chang'an, the Queen might as well send a letter to the Second Lord, saying that it is not impossible to ask you to stay away, but he must come to Hanzhong in person and welcome you back with the most solemn etiquette. You are not the kind of person who can be summoned and whispered. Zhu Yougui originally wanted to come to Hanzhong to force me to send troops. With your letter, he must come to Hanzhong excitedly, and even the most basic defenses will be neglected."
A look of shame flashed across Dai Shu's face, and she lowered her eyelids, without making any sound for a while.
"Empress, as long as the Second Highness arrives in Hanzhong, he will never be able to go back." Sheng Zhonghuai said. "After passing this level, the sea will be vast and the sky will be vast and the birds will fly, and the sea will be vast and the fish will be swim. Even for the sake of two children, this must be done."
Finally, Dai Shu nodded.
"Zhonghuai, if it is true as you said, then I and my children will leave overseas, will you go there too? I am used to you being by your side to do everything for me."
"It will be easier for the Empress to leave then, but if I want to leave, it may be more difficult." Sheng Zhonghuai smiled and said, "But as long as he can still live, Zhonghuai will definitely look for the Empress."
