After Zhao Zongquan succeeded to the throne, he was anxious to let the courtiers of Beijing merge with Yuzhou's subordinates, and all of them obeyed his orders for his use, so he used the quickest method to let the British government, which was quite prestigious in the dynasty, marry Empress Shen's mother's family. Originally, the emperor gave marriage without reproach, but Empress Shen's younger brother Shen Congxing was almost forty years old, and there was a virtuous and loyal wife da Zou shi in front of him, who died to save the empress, and Shen Congxing, in order to repay his deceased wife, hired Da Zou's sister-in-law as a concubine after marriage.
It is reasonable to say that Shen Congxing is the uncle of the country, and it is not too much to put a wife and a concubine in the family, and if Zhang Daniang can get along with Xiao Zou in harmony, it will also be a beautiful talk. But the bad thing is that the Zou family is greedy enough, and even wants Xiao Zou to go beyond the right wife, not only asking Shen Congxing to hand over the stewardship to Xiao Zou, which should be the main monarch's mother who is qualified to attend the banquet, Xiao Zou even begged to follow in vain, and the Shen family was humiliated and lost all over Tokyo.
Zhang Da Niangzi in the Shen family can still endure a thing or two, but by the outside world ridicule this kind of thing, she can not stand for a moment, all day in the courtyard closed door not to be ashamed to see people, fortunately met Minglan such a transparent and intelligent friend, did not waste the second half of her life in the back house. At the same time, Gu Tingye also persuaded Shen Congxing to come out, but Shen Congxing was not as good as Zhang Da niangzi, and directly said to Gu Tingye, I would rather give all the power and wealth to the Zou family and other.
If Shen Congxing could say this before marrying Zhang Da Niangzi, then everyone would still look up to him a few points, thinking that he was a good man who missed old feelings, but Shen Congxing's front foot married Zhang Da Niang as a proper wife, and then the back foot took Xiao Zou to the Shen family as a concubine, and then said this remark of "deep love and righteousness", which is really too hypocritical. Since he said that he was willing to give all his power and wealth to the Zou family, why didn't he marry Xiao Zou in the first place?
Some people may say that the marriage between the Zhang family and the Shen family is the marriage given by the emperor and cannot be refused, but only those who have read the original book know that Shen Congxing has the opportunity to let Xiao Zou do the continuation of the string, and Zhao Zongquan did not think about marriage at all when he first ascended the throne, but because Shen Congxing said that he had been treating Xiao Zou as a sister for many years, he could not pass the level in his heart for a while and a half, which lost the opportunity, and the marriage was used by the emperor as a chip.
Interestingly, as soon as Lady Zhang passed through the door, Shen Congxing figured it out, and less than a month after his new marriage, he hurriedly took Xiao Zou to the palace as a concubine, and also took the time to go to the palace to ask Xiao Zou for a reward of five pins of commandments, and in this case he said that he would rather rot in the Zou family and fool whom? Isn't it like Zhang Da Niang said, the left side also wants, and the right side also thinks well, so as to make a situation that is not human inside and outside.
In addition, Shen Congxing's deep feelings for his deceased wife are also debatable, if he really has a long mind for the Great Zou clan and no longer falls in love with any woman like Gu Yankai, Zhang Daniang can scold him as a scumbag, but others will think that he is a lover. However, under the mediation of Minglan and Gu Tingye, Shen Congxing was soon attracted to Zhang Da Niang's beauty and "loved" her, and resolutely refused to divorce Zhang Da Niang, and his feelings were inevitably too casual!
In the final analysis, Shen Congxing is still too greedy, not forgetting the reputation of the old love affectionate model he wants, and he also wants the noble and elegant famous and noble women in the capital! After these two things were in hand, he ignored the contradictions between Zhang Da Niang and Xiao Zou, and let his wives and concubines fight like Sheng Xuan, and when one side was defeated, he came out to preside over justice and maintain balance, and the face inside let Shen Congxing earn it alone, and the pain was all someone else's.
And in the end, Xiao Zou's family touched the core interests of the Shen family because they wanted to get rid of Zhang Daniang, the dispute between wives and concubines evolved into a major event in the imperial court, Shen Congxing suddenly woke up, the exile of the Zou family, the house arrest, Shen Congxing did not even say a word of intercession, let alone use his life to protect his wife's mother's family, at this point, everyone should be able to see the true face of this man, but what can it be? He is not yet a wife and a child, but still a noble uncle.
