Today, the term "honest man" is often used as a metaphor for those who are obscure and unassuming. And this kind of person, because of his lack of sociability, will usually be blamed by various people from an early age, and they are advised to change their personality. However, the country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to move, and it is difficult to change a person's personality if there is no major change. Even if it changes, it is very painful.
Honest people are not a kind of weak person, on the contrary, they will do things after careful consideration, not blind, not impulsive, not ostentatious, many honest people can laugh to the end. Now, let's get to know one of the most honest horses in history, and his princess.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, there was a powerful minister named Wang Hao (王鉷), who could be said to be in power and in several positions, and was very closely related to Li Linfu, the chancellor.
Wang Hao
Wang Hao had a son named Wang Zhun, born in a family of official eunuchs, Wang Zhun was a clumsy disciple from an early age, did not learn any skills, was very greedy, and often bullied the ministers of the court under the power of Lao Tzu.
Wang Zhun always bullied the ministers on weekdays, although they were all officials of the imperial court, but after a long time, they were also a little boring, so he wanted to change his taste and bully the members of the royal family. The so-called "people are good to be deceived, and ma shan is to be ridden", first of all, he set his sights on the horse Wang Xuan, who was a famous honest man at that time, who usually did not know how to reject others, and was obedient to everyone. Not only was he, but his wife, Princess Yongmu, was also an honest man.
One day, Wang Zhun led a group of people through the Horse Mansion, pushed the door and went in. Wang Zhun told him that he had just finished hunting, but he did not have the pleasure, and asked Wang Xuan to accompany him to shoot arrows, and Wang Xuan naturally did not refuse, although he only wanted to read. Wang Zhun set the rules, he and the two horses raced, the other side held the apple on the head, and the one who shot the apple won. Then he let the pony hold the apple as a target first, and Wang Zhun deliberately did not shoot the apple in order to show his superb archery skills, and shot at the bun of the pony. In ancient times, the body was subjected to the parents, and their own hair was violated, which was worse than being beaten by themselves.

Even though he was so humiliated, Wang Xuan still didn't get angry, just smiled awkwardly, thinking that it was his turn next, and he must save some face, but he didn't expect Wang Zhun to say that he didn't have any fun. In this way, Wang Xuan was hit by an arrow in vain, if he were an ordinary person, he would have been angry long ago, as the emperor's son-in-law, he was so humiliated, what a system. But Wang Xuan still put up with it and beckoned Wang Zhun to eat.
Who knows, Wang Zhun just took a bite of food, threw up on the ground, and said to the horse, "Who made this dish!" How do you manage the chefs? Just make such a bad dish to greet guests? Wang Xuan did not dare to speak, because there was his favorite braised pork on the table. Wang Zhun said, "Let Princess Yongmu come?" I'm going to ask her how she manages the back kitchen! ”
Princess Yongmu quickly came out, apologized to Wang Zhun, stopped talking, put on her apron, and personally re-made a table for Wang Zhun. Seeing that the princesses had cooked for themselves, Wang Zhun was satisfied with this, and the purpose was finally achieved. Therefore, Wang Zhun laughed and went away, no different from the bandits.
After Wang Zhun left, even the servants in the Horse Mansion could not look at it anymore, and usually the Horse and the Princess were very kind to them, so they were usually treated as equals. The servants all advised Wang Xuan to enter the palace to file a complaint. Say: "Gangsters are like springs, you are weak and he is strong, steeds, it's time to show real technology!"
Both Wang Xuan and Princess Yongmu were afraid, they didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and it was better to do more than less.

Wang Xuan analyzed everyone: "Nowadays, the Wang Zhun family is a family of powerful courtiers, and if we go to file a complaint, the emperor will definitely not kill them, at most punish them slightly." And this kind of punishment is not only irrelevant to them, but they will also intensify their trouble with us in the future. We might as well get their purpose in the first place, let them lose interest in us, challenge the lord even more, we can't afford to provoke them, but we are used to Him! ”
Sure enough, Wang Zhun no longer bothered Wang Xuan and Princess Yongmu, but set his sights on other imperial relatives. However, he did so tantamount to playing with fire and self-immolation, the Tang Dynasty royal family was deeply rooted and inviolable, and finally, those imperial relatives and relatives joined hands to destroy the Wang father and son.
And Princess Yongmu, the horse king, and Princess Yongmu, were the final winners, and they wasted and killed those who had humiliated themselves without much effort. Princess Yongmu and Princess Yongmu, the two of them were very affectionate throughout their lives, respected each other as guests, raised their eyebrows, were content with plainness, did not compete for fame and profit, and could be called a model couple.
In 749, after the death of The Horse King, Princess Yongmu cut her hair and became a nun, and finally died of illness.
