After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chapter 178 The Queen Mother’s last “backer”

There was a time when Yingshu doubted Yingsong.

At that time, she did not doubt Pei Yu because she could not figure out Pei Yu's motives, and it was even less possible for her to doubt Penglai Jun. Pei Yu's later wife, Jiafu, was just the "adopted daughter" of the Langyi royal family. Jiafu It was her grandfather who made the decision himself, and her mother-in-law also recognized Jiafu's character. What's more, even if Jiafu married Pei Yu, Penglai Jun still took care of Changle personally. The only people who could get close to Changle, except Penglai Jun and Pei Yu, were Only Yingpine.

But Yingsong was dead, and Yingshu's suspicions could not be confirmed. There were doubts in her heart, like a dead knot.

When he began to doubt Pei Yu, Sikong Beichen had already passed away.

It was because Sikong Beichen's true identity was exposed that Ying Shu began to doubt Pei Yu, and then she discovered that Pei Yu had taken Qizhu into his outer chamber. After rebirth, there was no doubt that the person Pei Yu really loved was Wang Qing'e.

Yingsong should be innocent, she was just a scapegoat, but the person who was killed was lucky enough to be reborn.

"I still remember that when I met Yingsong, she was driven around the farm like an ox or a horse because of her second mother's anger. She actually didn't complain much. She knelt there like a dying tree stump and listened to me. When they took her to Pei's house, she was not surprised, but rather frightened.

I didn't trust her at first, I just thought she was pitiful. I took her to Pei's house so that she would suffer less and be fed and clothed warmly. Later, I was forced into the palace. Changle was still young, Danying was dead, and Qing Ying, Xuanying, etc. all wanted to follow me into the palace. I originally wanted Ru Dan to stay and take care of Changle, but Mrs. Liu said that according to the rules, all my accompanying maids must return home with me. Xian Pei can't bear to be criticized, saying that they covet my dowry, King Langyi. "

When a woman gets married, all the money, silk, fields, house and slaves she brings from her parents' family can be called dowry. If there is a divorce, the man should return the dowry, otherwise he will be criticized.

"Yingsong knelt down and begged, saying that she was not my maidservant and was willing to stay in Pei's house to take care of Changle. Mrs. Liu just had nothing to say." Yingshu's eyes were already filled with frost flowers in the cold winter: "Now Yingsong tells Dan Ying, it was Liu who persuaded Wang Qing'e to show her favor to Tian in order to win over Xinyuehu. Liu knew what happened next, so she wanted to please Xinyuehu."

"Sikong Yuehu should be the one who harmed you." Nanci clenched his fist tightly.

Yingshu looked at the floating clouds in the sky. They were randomly cut into ever-changing shapes by the passing wind. They were all over the sky. They seemed to be tangible, but they were controlled by invisible forces at will. The floating clouds were like the situation in the world. Staring at it like this, I can’t see through the final result either.

In the end, the only person she trusted in this imperial court was Sikong Yuehu.

That day, it snowed heavily, and the empty Guisu Mansion suddenly caught fire. She was standing on the high platform, her heart ached. She knew that the fire would definitely not spread. For a moment, she was in a trance. She thought it was Nanci who had come back. Come on, it was Nanci's soul that burned down the prison that once imprisoned him, and then Nanci really let go of everything in this world and went to reincarnation or ascended to bliss.

"Someone started a fire."

It was Sikong Yuehu who reminded her.

The man, standing behind her, always calm and composed, reminded her that this was not a ghost, but that another conspiracy had been launched. He said: "You can never sigh on the battlefield."

She couldn't shed tears or show her weak side. There was no distinction between men and women on the battlefield, and no one would pity her.

Sikong Yuehu still has the same venomous tongue.

But when his tone gradually became gentler, he would drink with her and recall the dead people together. When she couldn't help crying, he would turn around and leave. But whenever she was tired, she would look back and find that he had been there all along. not far away.

During that time, thanks to Sikong Yuehu, she could firmly believe that she could sustain the mess left by Si Kong Beichen. No matter who told her that Sikong Yuehu had ambitions to seize the throne, she still believed This person entrusted the empire's military planning with full authority. Sometimes, she felt that she was already attached to Sikong Yuehu. Sometimes, she even thought that Sikong Yuehu was also attached to her.

The hazy emotions are like floating clouds in the sky, unpredictable.

Suddenly, it was all over.

Tian Shishe was a close confidant of Sikong Yuehu, and she died because of Tian Shishe's forced execution.

Nanci should be right, Sikong Yuehu was the culprit who killed her, but Yingshu's hatred for Sikong Yuehu was actually extremely weak. The person who forced her into such a situation must not be Sikong Yuehu. It's just that in the end, it was the two of them who stood in the realm of Chu, He and Han.

She lost, of course.

A woman who intrigues and fights for power is no match for a powerful man. The moment she becomes dependent, she is doomed to irreversible defeat.

"If it is true that Sikong Yuehu won the throne in the end." Yingshu said, "Nanci, I am convinced that I lost. That is Dayu's luck, because he is indeed more suitable for making decisions about national affairs than me. At that time, I was really beyond my ability. I am very aware of my own shortcomings. I tampered with the imperial edict to survive, but I am also suspicious and uneasy."

She even thought that Nanci's early death was retribution from God!

"After Fan Yanggong passed away, Lu Gan, who succeeded him as an assistant minister, had launched several impeachment proceedings against my policies. Later, Jiang Donghe colluded with Jiang Dongzhang to directly plot rebellion... I was no longer able to support it. I was suffering from internal worries at the time. Troubled by foreign invasion, I didn’t know how to distribute military power. I had even been cut off from the channel of communication with my grandfather. I was helpless and anxious. It was Sikong Yuehu who told me that it didn’t matter, everything was under his control. Finally, I won, but in a blink of an eye I was defeated.

If it is really Sikong Yuehu's conspiracy, I am destined to be the loser. I am the person who believes in him the most. I believe in him. If he finally sits on the throne, he will never ruin the rule of China. "

"Then why are we reborn?" Nanci asked.

Yingshu was stunned.

"Yingshu, since we have been reborn, we cannot be timid. Otherwise, why would you insist on entering the palace?"

She entered the palace because she was worried that Sikong Yuehu had not been reborn, so her father would inevitably die for something he could not do, and Nanci would still inevitably harm Sikong Beichen. She seemed to really not regard Sikong Yuehu as her enemy, even if Yes, she herself died at the hands of Sikong Yuehu.

But really, is that all?

She had been concerned about Sikong Yuehu's "posthumous affairs". Sikong Beichen still had three sons, but Sikong Yuehu was left empty-handed. After Liang's self-immolation and death, Sikong Yuehu not only did not marry a wife, but even dismissed his concubines. She At that time, the Queen Mother said that it was time for the auxiliary king to marry another person.

"The Sikong clan has a queen, so the queen mother does not have to worry about my affairs."

That's the explanation.

At that time, Lu Gan's advice was to let her daughter marry as Concubine Xinsu. In this way, it seemed that the young emperor would be more secure in being able to govern smoothly in the future. However, Sikong Yuehu was unwilling to remarry, and Lu Gan believed that Wang Cun, the assistant emperor, was treasonous. Heart.

There are so many clues, and now the analysis is in vain, Yingshu is sure that she will not let the same thing happen again.

She could no longer watch Sikong Beichen ascend the throne, she could no longer let Nan Ci be put under house arrest and poisoned, she could no longer watch her father die, she could no longer condone those extremely evil people and harm the loyal and good people she was unable to protect in her previous life. scholar.

This also includes Sikong Yuehu.

There was no way she would let him suffer Sikong Beichen's plot again. Although she survived to the end, she was lonely. Once, she couldn't sleep and traveled to Guisu Mansion at night. Nanci was no longer there at that time. In Guisu Mansion, she met Sikong Moon Fox.

Under the cold moonlight, Sikong Yuehu seemed to be half drunk.

But he ignored her and just said: "I guess you are interested."

She didn't know what happened that night, but suddenly became angry and shouted: "Stop!"

Sikong Yuehu turned back to look at her, with the moonlight behind him, and he didn't know what kind of emotions were flowing in his eyes.

"Today is Nanci's birthday, and it's also my birthday. Of course I won't forget it, but it's you, Lord Ansuku, who actually remembers..."

"Seven brothers, there are only three left now." Sikong Yuehu turned his back to the moonlight, and his whole person seemed to be immersed in a huge haze: "I actually have no affection for any of my brothers. The reason why I came today is because I I feel that Nanci really shouldn't die, and I feel very guilty. I could have stopped it, but I didn't foresee the situation. Hey, just think that I am taking my anger out on you. Queen Mother, Queen Mother, you must take care of yourself."

Yingshu should have been trembling with anger, but when she lowered her head and saw that the wine or dishes on the stone table were all Nanci's favorites during her lifetime, she was suddenly hit by great sadness.

At that time, she was thinking that if the crown prince of Dayu had not been Sikong Beichen, but had been replaced by Sikong Yuehu, Nanci would not have suffered so much and would not have died so early. She somehow believed in a man with a poisonous tongue. , but will never cut off his own limbs.

However, they gradually cooperated happily. For example, Ying Shu not only did not advocate frugality, but even blindly encouraged luxury and boasting of wealth. This made many dandies happy, but made many non-commissioned officers filled with righteous indignation. Ying Shu did not defend herself. Later, some non-commissioned officers realized that it was not necessary There was another impeachment discussion, but more non-commissioned officers were still angry and asked Sikong Yuehu, the assistant king, to launch an impeachment to force the Queen Mother to return to frugality and correct customs.

Sikong Yuehu rolled his eyes and became the Queen Mother's mouthpiece.

"The late emperor advocated frugality, but what? The grains and chestnuts saved were exchanged for more than a thousand war horses! Don't you know the market situation now? Our country's silks, ceramics and other luxury items were exchanged for tens of thousands of war horses!!! Why? ? Have you ever thought about it, the barbarian nobles were already humbled by the lack of materials in the past. Now they have no shortage of food and drink, and regard grain and millet as despicable things. However, they do not have their own handicrafts. They are especially envious of the clothes and daily utensils of the nobles of our dynasty. .

The Queen Mother even gave fragrant clothes to foreign envoys, and specifically told the envoys how to make such clothes that can be washed without losing fragrance. It costs not only spices, but also labor. And this kind of female worker who dyes silk threads with fragrance , the Queen Mother specifically emphasized the need to be dexterous and keep the skin on your hands soft and moist. Do you know why the Queen Mother said this?

The barbarians in the Northern Territory mostly believed that Han women were ingenious. In order to make such fragrant clothes, the nobles in the Northern Territory had to hire a lot of maids to make clothes. These women were all remnants. Because of the Queen Mother's words, they were spared the trouble. , because their fingers and palms cannot be damaged, they avoid doing rough and tiring work. "

For those who didn't understand, Sikong Yuehu asked directly: "In the past few times when frugal orders were issued, the people who were thrifted were common people. Every year during the festival, they were strictly prohibited from drinking alcohol and eating meat. But how many nobles abided by the frugal order? ? Will the enactment of such a law really benefit the country and the people's livelihood? And now, although the Queen Mother allows the nobles to boast about their wealth, many common people have taken jobs because of the comparison between the nobles. Common people will not boast about their wealth. , and the nobles are not frugal at all.”

Yingshu remembered that Bai Ying was extremely emotional at that time - I didn't expect that Mr. Xinsu could best understand the Queen Mother's intentions.
