Chapter 272 Seizing Power
Zhao Zongquan only blamed himself for being careless, but did not blame Mrs. Shen for not disciplining her sister well.
You have been married for so many years, why are you stretching out your claws to discipline your younger sister?
It’s all Shen Congxing’s fault!
After hearing the causes and consequences of the spectrum disassembly, Shen Yuzhen was dumbfounded.
She murmured, "Too, to be like this... I, I, that's not what I meant. I just... I just want you to respect me a little and establish my authority in front of you."
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with tears of grievance.
And this cry made the distressed Mrs. Shen hug her.
The development of a naughty child is inseparable from the indulgence and personal teaching of his family.
The arrogance was given by the Shen family with unconditional tolerance, and the teaching by example came from her eldest brother.
He has an empty head but bullies the weak and fears the strong.
It's not a big deal, but it's a very hateful nature.
In the original novel, Yao Yiyi and Xiao Shen had a harmonious relationship because Xiao Shen's innocent evil was not directed towards her.
In the play, Minglan and Xiao Shen do not get along very well, but they do not have too many direct conflicts either. The conflicts with Minglan's friends are definitely unreasonable.
But such a woman can have a perfect life, give birth to children and enjoy luxury.
What kind of lesson does this teach us?
As long as my sister is the queen, I can do whatever I want.
So your sister doesn't have to be the queen in this life.
Molan looked at Shen Yuzhen, who was crying in Shen Congying's arms as if she had suffered a great injustice, and continued to nag at her.
"Look, Shen Yuzhen, you've never paid the real price.
For you, as long as you don't bear the cost, then you are not wrong and you can continue next time.
Once, it can be said that I was innocent and young and ignorant.
Secondly, it can be said that no one is perfect.
Three times. There is no excuse.
You just don't know what's good for you.
That’s all I have to say, Miss Shen, please respect yourself.”
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Shen Congxing.
“Master Shen, my brother and I also spoil my sister.
I am now a county lady, and my two brothers are one second place in the imperial examination and the other one is a night-blooming flower.
My sister is also a model of noble ladies in the capital, and was engaged to a duke very early on.
So, Mr. Shen, how about you? How about your sister? "
After finishing speaking, Molan took a deep breath and bowed to everyone.
“I am sorry for saying too much today.
But now the emperor is old and has no children, Prince Yong is domineering and arrogant, and Prince Yan has a strong army.
The royal family is not a clean pool of water at all.
Yuzhou is no longer the lawless place it once was. Some people would like to send you all to Caishikou."
So this is talking about Shen Yuzhen?
This is about the survival of the clan.
Being in power requires crisis and panic.
Panic can make people follow blindly. The more they follow, the more convinced they will be. They will then find a reason to justify themselves and keep going.
They fear nothing, so how could they not be afraid of being beheaded by the imperial power?
The Shen family will have concerns, and thus they will be controlled by her.
The same is true for the Zhao Mansion.
This drama of deliberately finding the right opportunity to force the Queen's palace people to scold Shen Yuzhen perfectly achieved the effect that Molan wanted.
The Shen family took Shen Yuzhen away and never gave her any chance to do whatever she wanted.
Even though Shen Congying, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, felt sorry for Shen Yuzhen, she did not feel any dissatisfaction with Molan, because she knew that it was not Molan's fault, but that Shen Yuzhen was being targeted by a female official.
The female official is loyal to the queen and protects the imperial power. She has to report everything to the palace when she is with Molan, so Molan must be uncomfortable with it.
She suddenly understood this when she was chatting with Zhao Zongquan at night.
She is now also caught in the gap.
So in order to protect herself, she had to protect the Zhao and Shen residences. It would not work to do it the same way as before. Yuzhen would be a breakthrough point for the bad guys, and she was easily influenced...
too frightening.
Is this the struggle for imperial power?
Even those far away in Yuzhou could not remain immune.
But after just three days, the power of being the head of the Zhao family naturally fell into Molan's hands.
This avoided a tough fight for the property, which was a rare moment of clarity on the part of the Shen family.
Because the lifeline of the money source that the Zhao and Shen families think they have is in Molan's hands. Without her, the huge Yuzhou would be paralyzed.
By coercing her in this way, she can have the power to manage the family if she wants.
After special training in the Ming Dynasty, Molan could easily manipulate the merchant group for his own benefit.
And now is a special period.
During the founding of the Song Dynasty, many things needed to be rebuilt, especially in terms of economic circulation.
Merchants could be selected to be deregistered, and even allowed to participate in imperial examinations and even buy official positions.
The Sheng Mansion is naturally the leader among merchants. Fellow merchants, or idle caravans and chambers of commerce are all willing to follow the Sheng Mansion.
Because this is a major event that will revitalize the entire family and bring honor to the ancestors.
Long-lasting loyalty does not rely on passion for ambition, but on tangible benefits.
……
The only thing that made Molan feel a little uncomfortable during this turmoil was the forceful and unvarnished seizure of power, which ended in nothing but a lot of noise.
It can be seen that the Northern Song Dynasty had a high degree of tolerance for women in power.
It is clear that Liu E has only been dead for more than 30 years.
I guess it's not entirely a 'counterexample'.
The further back in time one goes, the more friendly the times become to women with power or tyranny.
“I’ve finally made it.”
It was so smooth that Molan was impressed again and again.
Obviously, she wanted to obtain some information models from Yuzhou's "rebellion" to refer to the local customs of the Song Dynasty.
The reason why most story copies are modified is that it is necessary to complete more complex storylines while assisting the taskers to understand the dynasty background when actually advancing to the copy.
Judging from the current situation, as long as it is not the end of the Song Dynasty, even if someone really rode a horse with a spear on the battlefield, there would probably not be too much criticism.
It's a very good era, but it's a bit regrettable that the atmosphere has gradually become weak.
Like the Ming Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was also an era worthy of praise but also of regret.
……
Logically speaking, it won't make Xiao Shen obedient, but it will make the adults who are looking after her know their limits.
In just two months, thanks to the joint efforts of the Shen family and the female officials who handled matters impartially, little Shen learned to obey.
Although he would still instinctively dodge when he saw Molan, he had also learned to greet her politely and would even apologize for what had happened before.
Voila.
The difference between a naughty kid and a good kid is just two beatings.
Because naughty kids are not stupid, they learn to bully the weak early on.
There is nothing wrong with the saying "If a son is not well educated, it is the fault of his father" when applied to this aspect.
After another year or so of labor reform, Shen Yuzhen could be used for a political marriage.
What a great seedling.
Let her grow freely and why get yourself into trouble?
A dog can be used as a guard dog, let alone such a "capable" little Shen.
