"Yongzheng Dynasty", as a historical masterpiece describing the power struggle in the court, although it mainly focuses on the contest between men, but in the real plot of "Nine Sons Seize the Inheritance", the role and influence of women are definitely not to be underestimated. In the play, both the emperor and the beauties of the harem are outsiders under the male power center, and they are also involved in the competition for favor. For example, the Eight Blessings of the Guo Luo Luo clan, who was "the master of the Eight Mansions", and the Four Blessings of the Wulanala clan, who "assisted in internal affairs for forty years", both of them made significant contributions to their male succession. Their appearance not only made the already unpeaceful harem struggle more intense, but also added a lot of legends to the characters in the play. Therefore, "Yongzheng Dynasty" not only reveals the political twists and turns and power struggles in the court, but also shows us the unique charm of many female characters.
In the sixtieth year of Kangxi's reign, the incident of "nine sons seizing the heir" has come to an end. Previously, Nian Qianyao brought it to Sichuan, and Li Wei, who has now been promoted to the Sipin Grain Dao, returned to the capital with his wife Cui'er and a child named "Li Zhong Siye", and returned to the mansion of the fourth master.
Regarding Li Wei's son being named "Li Zhong's Fourth Master", it is necessary for us to give a special explanation:
Li Wei, a young servant born as a wandering beggar, was able to get the high attention of Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor, and gradually promoted from Qipinzhi County to the official position of the feudal territory, and finally became the powerful "Jiangnan Tu Emperor", mainly because of his loyalty to the emperor and consistent original intention;The key lies in his sincere work attitude and unremitting efforts;It also lies in his loyalty and perseverance. What's more, his wisdom in officialdom is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Although "Fourth Master Li Zhong" has obvious flattery in the eyes of everyone, why would Li Wei not hesitate to choose such a name for his child?
Remember that Li Wei was a wandering beggar, and don't forget the fact that he was illiterate, and don't forget that when Li Wei was promoted to magistrate, he "didn't know how to judge!".Choosing such a name for his child can better reflect the true face of Li Wei, who is the Li Wei that the fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, once knew.
The existence of "Li Zhong's fourth master" made Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor, clearly feel Li Wei's consistent loyalty;It can also make him understand the delicate relationship between himself and the prince. He was able to express his gratitude in this way, and although he didn't know how to express it, the sincerity and innocence he displayed were very endearing. His words, deeds and attitudes during the Kangxi Dynasty were also shown in this situation. Compared with Nian Qianyao's vacillating attitude and Gao Fu's attitude of betraying the Lord for glory and breaking the rules, Li Wei and Li Wei's behavior is more in line with the expectations and intentions of Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor.
At the entrance of the Fourth Master's Mansion, Li Wei and Cui'er unexpectedly ran into Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor, who had just entered the palace. Both of them are close to the emperor and are very familiar with each other. After a short greeting, Yinzhen asked:
How did you get here?has become a food **, so stingy that he can't even bear the cost of a car. You don't think you're too simple, but Cui'er is just a fourth-grade lady, how could she be allowed to come like this?”
Li Wei asked a question, hesitated, and didn't know how to respond, at this time, Cui'er, who had never shown wisdom, appeared:
What Hui Ye said was originally to come in a sedan chair, but when he arrived at the mouth of the alley, the dog said that it was disrespectful to sit in a sedan chair in front of the master, so he walked in!”
This sentence not only avoids the embarrassment of Li Wei deliberately showing loyalty, but also describes in detail Li Wei's deep respect for Yinzhen;In a word, it makes people feel that these two people are saying the same thing. This quote reveals Cui'er's ingenuity.
Imagine, Cui'er, such a sensitive and intelligent person, if she could have a duel with those men who had cultivated to the extreme, what kind of impact would such a duel have?
Next, let's focus on the dialogue performance between Sifujin and Cui'er after that:
Sifujin handed Cui'er a longevity lock and said to her
This is the longevity lock that the prince wore when he was a child, so you might as well give it to Li Zhong!”
The longevity lock that Yinzhen wore when he was young was undoubtedly a gift from the emperor, which not only reflected the importance of the etiquette of this meeting, but also showed Sifujin's deep kindness and special concern for Cui'er.
However, in the face of such a precious reward, Cui'er's reaction was like this:
Owner, I really don't dare to accept this gift, please don't damage the child's forage again!”
When the master gives a reward, of course, we will give in politely, but in the process of giving in, we can also clearly understand our role and status as a "slave", and have the opportunity to please the master, which is really not simple.
After accepting this gift, Sifujin asked a crucial question:
Cui'er, I heard that you forbid dogs to ask for concubines, is this true?”
At first glance, it may seem like a daily conversation between women, while also reflecting a female master's genuine concern for a former slave, which is not inappropriate;But if you think deeply, you will realize the fact that whether Li Wei wants a concubine or not is likely to be a secret conversation between Li Wei and Cui'er, he will not write a letter to Yinzhen, and it is impossible for the people around him to know, how did Sifujin know about this situation?
Actually, there is a very strong blow lurking in this place!
Looking back, Li Wei and Cui'er were skillfully arranged by the fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen to be next to Nian Qianyao as "monitors", and Yinzhen played a crucial role in controlling Nian Qianyao. But in the face of Li Wei, who is also a servant of the Hidden Mansion and is gradually promoted, how should Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor, effectively control it?
Just like controlling Nian Qianyao, you also need to find another person to monitor him!
Despite this, Li Wei is not Nian Qianyao, and his loyalty, obedience, and stance towards Yinzhen are beyond doubt. Therefore, the person in charge of monitoring Li Wei did not need to exist for a long time, and Li Wei only needed to tap a little at the right time.
Therefore, the question raised by Sifujin is not only a superficial concern, but also contains his intention at a deeper level:
I can clearly understand the intimate conversations between you and the couple, especially Li Wei's other words and deeds, I have a deeper understanding of this, and I hope you can make an effort for this!
From the wisdom of the four blessings, we can get a glimpse of one or two!
Let's hear Cui'er's reply:
For the words of the master, it is really so. He was an ordinary beggar, completely dependent on the favor of his master. Although he has become a **, just having a wife is not enough. He's really smart, he's earned a little girl, I'm going to kick her out too!”
How did Sifujin learn about this, and Cui'er didn't ask a question;Four is relatively simple, four is very simple!Sifujin wanted to use this sentence to knock something, but Cui'er didn't ask questions;There is no pause or evasion at all, and the attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and it seems very steady and calm.
He only showed his side as a woman, but deliberately concealed his wisdom, which is true wisdom.
After observing Cui'er showing such an attitude, Sifujin felt relieved
Okay, so be it, if he really dares to bully you, tell me and I'll make a decision for you!”
This is not only an affectionate concern for the slaves in the past, but also indirectly to Cui'er: The fourth master and I have put our hearts at ease to you, if there is anything that needs to be "told" to us, there is no longer a need for others to "tell" us.
After a brief conversation between the two women, Li Wei's social status has been solidified, and his future is full of hope!
