The world is so wild, I want to go to Kang Kang

The court should have been dismissed long ago, but it was delayed for an hour because of this matter.

Except for those people in the Ministry of Rites who were about to be killed, the rest of the people were over before they even had a chance to argue.

Shangshu Wang and Taifu Wen stayed until the last to come out.

Standing on the steps and looking at the gradually decreasing crowd below, I couldn't help but feel emotional.

Days and nights passed like water flowing eastward. He also walked step by step from a position where he could not see what was ahead of him to the front of the officials.

"Everyone in our dynasty knows that the Imperial Concubine has been favored for more than ten years. Looking back now, we still know very little about her. The love between the Emperor and his concubine may far exceed the favor of the Imperial Concubine, and may even be more than just a couple supporting each other."

After saying this, noticing the long silence around him, Shangshu Wang turned his head to look at his junior fellow apprentice who was also wearing purple court robes but was exceptionally handsome. He felt that time and years have taken their toll on people.

Although he was a little older, he was only in his forties, so he looked like he was a generation younger than him. Ever since he grew a beard, he was too embarrassed to call others "junior brother" in private.

"Changmo," Wenren Yu said, his name is Changmo.

"What do you think?"

Wen Renyu stood under the wall, his back straight and his hat neatly tied to the ground.

After a long while, he spoke, "Trust is the most important thing between husband and wife. The imperial concubine has gone through many hardships and deserves this position. The emperor also knows the whole story better than you and me."

He was the one who started it all, so how could he blame her?

"That's true, but isn't His Majesty's favoritism a bit too much?"

Today, he felt that if he had not spoken in front of all the officials in the court, he would have been in disgrace.

It is obvious that they will not listen to a single word and will not believe a single word. Anyone who slanders the imperial concubine will be killed without mercy.

We are all experienced people. When we reach middle age, we have become less concerned about love and affection. Not everyone is a pervert, and love and affection are only pursued by young people with passionate blood boiling.

People like them should just respect and love their wives and treat them with respect. How can they be unique?

The emperor was deeply in love with her, and his love had been the same for decades, and it was getting worse. However, the queen still existed in the harem, and although she no longer held real power, her dignity was unquestionable.

Over time, not only the imperial court, but even the common people began to make up stories about the royal family.

Throughout the ages, favoring concubines and neglecting wives is against etiquette and morality. If ethics and morals can be so easily reversed, then can the supreme power in the world be shaken?

He lowered his voice and said, "The Queen is still alive."

Wen Renyu responded calmly, with a tone that left no room for doubt, "The Queen has been absent from palace affairs for so many years, neglecting her duties, and has long been in name only."

After a moment of silence, he said something shocking, "Brother, you have been in a high position for so long, how come you have also learned the sour Confucianism and Taoism, ignoring the essence and only remembering the etiquette?"

"What's more, if you count it seriously, the Imperial Concubine was the Emperor's legal wife when he was in the palace. In terms of nobility, who can compare to the Imperial Concubine?"

Wang Mian was choked by his beatings. It seemed that this junior brother had never been defeated in a battle.

Wen Renyu, as the Grand Tutor, taught the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. The relationship between teacher and student is stronger than gold, like that between father and son.

As an "outsider", he actually dared to meddle in other people's family affairs. Alas, he deserved to be ridiculed.

There is another thing. He is so old and confused that he actually forgot that his junior brother is a famous "flower protector" of the imperial concubine.

On the birthday of the imperial concubine, people would write poems every year to praise her merits, be it virtue, appearance, or duties, and they would like to praise her as if she should only be in heaven. Therefore, there are still many people who worship the imperial concubine, and they wait for the appearance of new poems every year to learn about the queen's recent situation.

If he didn't know that this junior fellow was also a lovesick man, he would have suspected that he was coveting the concubines.

My junior brother is so pitiful. He has not remarried or taken a concubine for more than ten years since his wife passed away, just to preserve her chastity and raise her young daughter.

Thinking of this, he quickly changed the subject to avoid being scolded again.

"Chang Mo, we two brothers should stop worrying about His Majesty's family affairs. They are living in harmony and peace, and it is not our turn as subjects to meddle in their affairs."

After looking at him and seeing that he didn't seem unhappy, she brought up the business again, "Brother, I am worried about you. You were the one that the teacher was most worried about before he left, and he told me to take good care of you. Unfortunately, I failed to live up to the teacher's trust, and I feel really sad that you are now all alone."

He himself had a harmonious family with many children, and had a granddaughter not long ago. This was the first child of the new generation of their Wang family, and he was so happy that he didn't sleep all night. However, when he went to court the next morning, he saw his lonely and thin junior brother, and his heart became bitter again.

Chang Mo lost his father when he was young. His mother raised him but passed away before he could enjoy a single day of happiness. He also lost his wife at an early age. She died of a sudden illness within a few days, leaving behind an ignorant little girl who looked at her young father in tears.

Over the years, Chang Mo has been both a father and a mother. Lai Lai, that girl, is almost an adult, so maybe it's time for Junior Brother to think about his future.

"Chang Mo, tell me the truth. Have you really never met someone you like in all these years? A few years ago, you said you were afraid that the stepmother would not be close to Lailai and make the child suffer. The child is almost getting married. Have you ever thought about what you would do if Lailai got married?"

Thinking of the way he looked even though his temples were gray but he still looked equal and indifferent to everyone, he was worried that he would starve to death in his own house.

If that happened, he would be too ashamed to face his teacher even in hell.

"How you live now is how you will live in the future, why be so sad?" Wen Renyu didn't understand. He had hands and feet, and even if he got old, he would have some assets, even if he wasn't wealthy. It would be enough for him to hire someone to take care of him in his old age.

Why force yourself to remarry for this?

Besides, in his heart, losing his wife had never occurred to him.

"Besides, who said my Lailai is going to get married? She has great ambitions and doesn't want to be confined to the backyard."

"Why, are you going to take the examination to become a female official?" He just said it casually and didn't believe it would really happen.

The Jin Dynasty's female official system was different from the imperial examination, but it was also strict and demanding. The elected women officials could also participate in major events such as state ceremonies and ancestral temple worship.

Wen Renyu asked in return, "Why not?"

"Instead of choosing a heartless man, it is better to be independent and make a living on your own. Daughters are just as capable as boys and can also make the most of their strengths and achieve great things."

Wonderful, wonderful!

What Wang Mian admired most about Wen Renyu was his detachment from worldly matters. No wonder his teacher loved him so much; he was truly amazing and different.

He can cultivate both his inner and outer qualities and treat everyone equally. He treats others as he would treat himself, and he can also implement this principle when it comes to his daughter.

He is indeed a true saint and gentleman.

"Okay, today's words have taught me a lot. I won't say anything more, just one sentence. Senior brother's home is your home for Chang Mo. If you are lonely and pitiful in the future, I will mercifully take you in."

After saying that, he took the lead and ran away quickly.

Only a burst of laughter remained.
