Re: the discussion of Vashti, Mordechai HaTzaddik when asked by Achashveros for his recommendation what to do about Vashti’s refusal to appear before him, Mordechai declined answering (he told Achashveros that this question should be presented to the royal advisors) since Mordechai was afraid if he recommended that Vashti be let off the hook he would be blamed for future insubordination by wives. (And if he recommended execution, he would be blamed when Achasheveros started missing Vashti.)
