After rebirth, I made the princes cry

He Chaoxi didn't want the Emperor to die next year at all.

Whether the Crown Prince or the Second Prince wins, it is not her wish. The person she intended to follow after her rebirth has never been one of these two. He Chaoxi never thought of telling the Second Prince the "original track". Of course, the Second Prince knew nothing about it. He actually did not plan to assassinate King Zhenyuan. This kind of thing is difficult. If he could really plant an assassin in the East Palace, he would have killed the Crown Prince directly. Why did he have to wait until now?

Sikong Yuewu has actually always regarded Sikong Mujiao as the primary stumbling block.

Greatly influenced by He Ao and Madam He, he believed that even his father was half a puppet, and that the crown prince appointed by his father could be kicked over at any time. The problem was that although Sikong Beichen was kicked over, Sikong Mujiao could not be kicked over. Therefore, his ninth sister's strategic approach was correct, and now he must kick Sikong Mujiao to hell first.

The problem was that Sikong Mujiao had actually moved the battlefield. This guy was mentally ill. He ran to Northern Han for no reason. He couldn't chase after Sikong Mujiao and use his flying legs. Moreover, he doubted that since Sikong Mujiao had gone to Northern Han, he would be sure to return home with merit.

If he could pull Prince Zhenyuan into his Bisu Palace, even if he could grab most of the credit, who would have known that the prince would actually "turn over a new leaf". Now, the credit would be divided into three parts, with the prince, him, and Sikong Mujiao each taking one third. As for Sikong Nanci, it would be of no use even if he had made contributions. Prince Linyi had been squeezed out of the circle of power, and his mother's family was useless. Sikong Nanci had no chance at all to step onto the arena for competing for the throne.

Even if Qiao had been planning to win over Chen Jun Xie and give Sikong Nanci to Madam Xie as a son, is that old fellow Xie Jin still the Grand Chancellor? No, the Grand Chancellor has been replaced, and he is a southerner, making it easier for the Jiangdong nobles to win over.

Sikong Yuewu was in a terrible mood.

So that day, he went to his grandfather's house and met his ninth sister, the smart female strategist, again. He made a suggestion: "It's not impossible to save the relationship. Otherwise, let mother go to Qianyang Palace to make a scene. Now the Empress Dowager is no longer in Qianyang Palace. Maybe father will be forced to compromise."

He Ao thought this plan was feasible.

He Chaoxi felt very calm.

Mediocre people are mediocre people. She has long been accustomed to the mediocrity of her clansmen. If Madam He's crying and making a fuss really had such a great power, the throne would have been changed long ago. When did Wang Yingshu enter the palace? When did Madam He enter the palace? She cried and made a fuss for more than ten years, but she didn't cry and depose Queen Yu. She is still dreaming about this. No wonder Wang Yingshu suppressed Jiangdong He without any effort at that time. The difference in strength is huge. What suspense is there in the outcome?

"Protecting King Zhenyuan well is not a credit at all." He Chaoxi pointed out incisively.

"Ninth sister, if something happens to King Zhenyuan..."

"If it weren't for Lord Shenyuan's request to be an envoy to Han, and Wang Wuniang's willingness to follow him, and Lord Jiaosu and Lord Guisu willing to risk their lives to sign a military order to protect Lord Shidian and Wang Wuniang and bring them back safely, the two countries would not be able to establish diplomatic relations, and then how important would it be for the life and death of King Zhenyuan?"

He Ao and the Second Prince looked at each other.

"The credit for establishing diplomatic relations is destined to belong to the two princes, Dianjun, Wang Wuniang, and Sanwu. Even if the crown prince can protect the King of Zhenyuan and the King of Zhenyuan is safe, will the King of Northern Han definitely not go back on his word?"

"Then, the key is not to let them come back!!!" He Ao understood: "If the Prince of Zhenyuan lives in the Bisu Mansion, it will be difficult for Your Highness to take action!"

"Grandfather, the assassination plan is not feasible. At this time, you must also put the overall situation first and not do anything that will harm the country. You should understand that if the building collapses, the emperor, his ministers, and the common people will all be left without a roof to protect them. At this critical juncture, you must not destroy the Great Wall yourself."

“But we can’t just stand and watch Sikong Mujiao being so proud, right?!” The Second Prince gritted his teeth.

He Chaoxi also has a plan.

"Jiao Su Jun will not take the credit for the first achievement. The credit must go to Wang Wu Niang. Your Majesty not only appointed Wang Wu Niang as the deputy envoy, but also set a precedent by appointing her as the Shang Shu Lang for the first time. In the future, Wang Wu Niang will be able to participate in political discussions with justification. However, Wang Wu Niang is a woman after all. She cannot really wear official uniforms and hold an ivory tablet like an official appointed by the court to make suggestions in the court. No matter how much Your Majesty values ​​her, he can only adopt her private advice. If Your Highness can win over Wang Wu Niang, the first daughter in history to be appointed as the Shang Shu Lang's meritorious official, as your principal wife, then Wang Wu Niang's contribution will be equal to Your Highness's contribution."

"But..." The second prince smiled playfully: "I only love my ninth sister."

"Your Highness is aiming for the throne and cannot indulge in personal affairs."

Second Prince:...

He just said it casually, and ended up getting taught a lesson.

A woman who is too smart is indeed not charming.

"Nineth Lady, Wang Wu Niang is clearly in love with Gui Sujun. Your Majesty and old man Wang Lan have obviously understood this tacitly. I'm afraid your proposal will be difficult to achieve." He Ao was of course unwilling to promote another family's daughter to the position of empress. At the beginning, he made the legitimate daughter inferior to Empress Yu. There was no other way. Who made the emperor marry a legal wife at that time? Yu even gave birth to two sons? But now, the grandson has no legal wife, so the He family should have a queen.

"If Your Highness is the Crown Prince, then Your Majesty must of course give priority to the Crown Prince's marriage."

But the second prince is not the crown prince yet.

"The Crown Prince can no longer gain credit for establishing diplomatic relations. During this period, Your Highness should focus on investigating and eliminating poison doctors. They use poison to cause illnesses in the people, and then make money by detoxifying. These people are a disaster. What's more, the poison used by the poison doctor has brought disaster to the palace. Now even Doctor Liu can't detoxify the poison that causes coma and death. Only after the fact can we use the autopsy method to determine whether it is poisoning. Liu Shuren admitted that he colluded with the poison doctor, and the queen also used the poison doctor. The Crown Prince must not be completely unaware of it. Only when it is confirmed that the Crown Prince is suspected of harboring or even sheltering and using the poison doctor can the Crown Prince be put to death."

He Chaoxi's strategy and straightforwardness were to use an open conspiracy to kick the crown prince off the throne first. While the third and fifth princes were away in Dayu, the second prince took an unconventional approach and made the first contribution, thus taking the initiative - of course, this was a trick to fool the second prince.

Abolishing the reserve is likely to be successful, but establishing a new reserve is a protracted battle.

He Chaoxi's first step was just to put Sikong Beichen to death.

The second prince was particularly superstitious about his ninth sister and was incited to become very passionate.

However, as soon as he returned to Bisu Mansion, he was poured a basin of cold water on by one of his trusted subordinates.

"He Jiuniang is indeed smart, but she is a lady after all. She doesn't know how to find out whether the prince is protecting the poison doctor. Even if she can find out some of the poison doctors, she can't be linked to the East Palace for no reason. But she can't assassinate the King of Zhenyuan. The risk is too great. If she fails, she will give the prince a chance to make a comeback. It's not worth it.

I think that using the poison doctor case is indeed a great opportunity, but Your Highness does not need to really eliminate the poison doctor. I have a plan..."

The second prince put his ears close to the ears and nodded continuously. The more he listened, the narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his lips high.

Jiang Mo lived in Jiaqi Pavilion of Ziwei Palace, which was located in the West Garden. The prince would occasionally entertain guests in the West Garden, and the women of the East Palace usually did not come here. There were many musicians living in the West Garden, but they have all moved out temporarily. The servants who serve Jiang Mo here were all selected by the prince himself, and naturally they were all his confidants. On this day, the prince was drinking and chatting with Jiang Mo in the West Garden, and he invited Sikong Yuehu to accompany them. When the atmosphere was just right, an uninvited guest broke in.

This person cannot actually be called a guest.

Accompanied by two maids, Yu Bihua walked towards the waterside pavilion with her head held high and her chest held high. Three pairs of eyes stared at her. The prince's eyes flickered with helpless fire. He raised his wine cup first and said, "Excuse me, excuse me. Excuse me. The concubine in my family is too willful."

The prince had no intention of leaving the table to stop Yu.

Sikong Yuehu then smiled and said, "Yu Liangdi is the Crown Prince's cousin, so they can be called childhood sweethearts."

"I understand." Jiang Mo also raised his wine cup and drank. He saw the woman called Yu Liangdi walking onto the covered bridge leading to the waterside pavilion. He could see her features clearly, but in his opinion, he still couldn't tell the difference between her and the two sisters of Linyi Wang's family. This was a strange thing. The appearance of Qiang people was obviously not much different from that of Han people. He could tell who was who among men of Han descent, but it was always difficult for him to tell the appearance of women of Han descent. Only the Zhongnushi of Dayu... Wang Wu Niang, who has now become a female minister, knew this habit of his.

I don’t know if that woman is as smart as the rumors say, but her eyes are quite vicious.

"Did Your Highness instruct the guards of the West Garden to stop me from entering?" Yu Bihua asked loudly as she entered the waterside pavilion without stopping.

The fire in the prince's eyes was gone, and his tone was very gentle: "This is the Prince of Zhenyuan of Northern Han. We cannot lose our manners."

Yu Bihua just performed an extremely perfunctory greeting.

"Your Highness hasn't answered my question yet!"

"Prince Zhenyuan is now temporarily living in the West Garden. I did instruct the guards not to let outsiders in to disturb him."

"I am not an outsider." Yu Bihua had already sat down next to the prince. In her eyes, it was as if the other two people were not there at all. "If I hadn't asked that His Highness was in the West Garden, I wouldn't have come here. Since His Highness is here, why can't I come in? Those guards are too rude. I know it's useless to report to the Crown Princess. Even if the Crown Princess ordered them to humiliate me, Your Highness must be fair!"

Sikong Yuehu heard Yu's words becoming more and more ridiculous, so he smiled at Jiang Mo and said, "The strange rock that Prince Brother just mentioned is behind the flower fence on the embankment. How about I accompany the envoy to appreciate it first?"

Jiang Mo also knew that it was not appropriate to listen too much to the prince's family affairs, so he followed his lead.

He followed Sikong Yuehu to the lake embankment and asked, "Is that Yu Liangdi the niece of Her Majesty the Queen of your country?"

"Yu Liangdi often entered the palace to serve the Queen in the past, so the Queen loved her niece very much. Since she was young, Yu Liangdi was not restrained when talking to the Crown Prince."

"I have a cousin who is also spoiled and innocent." As they spoke, they had already walked around the flower fence. In front of the pavilion, there was indeed a strange stone, but Jiang Mo had no intention of admiring it. He had mentioned his cousin just now for a reason: "My brother has made my father the Supreme Lord, and he no longer cares about state affairs. Because of the advice of the Great Minister, my brother allowed my mother to enter the Supreme Lord Palace to take care of my father. My cousin Jinzhu is my uncle's youngest daughter. She is not only loved by my mother, but also cherished by my uncle and aunt like a jewel in their palms. She is now my brother's wife in the palace."

Sikong Yuehu turned around and looked at Jiang Mo.

"If the Crown Prince of your country does not invite the Fourth Prince to come here today, I will personally visit Xinsu Mansion another day. Please believe that I am the one who really wants to establish diplomatic relations with your country. For the sake of the two countries and the people of Yuhan, I must return to my country to regain power. I know that only the Fourth Prince can help me achieve my wish. I will swear with my life that if I achieve my ambition, from now on, Northern Han will respect Dayu as its main state and pay tribute every year. I am willing to send my eldest son to Dayu and earnestly ask the wise men and ministers of your country to teach him the Chinese etiquette and laws. In the future, my descendants will inherit the throne of Northern Han and govern according to the etiquette and laws of the Central Plains of China."

"How may I help you, Your Excellency?"

Jiang Mo lowered his voice even more.

The wind in early spring in the south of the Yangtze River is always gentle and warm. When it passes over the lake, it can hardly even cause ripples. But today, the clear waves of the lake in Xiyuan are being stirred by the soft wind, but no one is paying attention.

Year after year, the winds are strong and the tides are surging, but the stars move and the constellations remain the same, and people in the world go on living their lives as usual, day after day.

The river flows eastward, but several ships go upstream, away from the capital of Dayu. The turmoil in Jiankang city is behind Yingshu. She is holding the fence, following the sunset in front of her, admiring the beautiful scenery of the river and mountains without distraction. When there is one more person around her, she withdrew her gaze from the distance.

"Are you finally free?" Yingshu asked Nanci with a smile.

"Third brother finally let me go." Nanci raised his hand and pressed his brow. "I remember that in the past, during the princes' morning lectures, Third brother was obviously very playful. At that time, when the doctors assigned homework, Third brother, like Second brother, always asked others to do it. Only before the emperor's examination did he cram and perfunctorily pass it. This year, he really seems to have become a different person. I almost suspect that he is also a reborn person."

"Rebirth does not necessarily mean a complete transformation. For example, Wang Qing'e has lived two lives. Does she understand life?"

"You have been completely transformed. It seems that I cannot look down on my third brother." Nanci smiled and said, "It's just that he insisted on studying hard during his mission. He always dragged me to study with him. I was distracted for a while earlier and he even gave me a ruler."

"Where did you hit?"

"My arm still hurts."

Ying Shu looked at Nan Ci for a while and smiled, "At this age, it is indeed time for the children of aristocratic families to study hard. The Third Prince does not know that you, Nan Ci, have experienced rebirth. In the past, even if he was determined to study hard, he would not care whether you were idle or not. Now he is dragging you to study hard together, which shows that his character is indeed completely different from the past."

"Although I have lived two lives, the first one was nothing more than a waste of time."

Nan Ci was no longer depressed by the events of his past life. He lowered his eyes and looked at the skirt pendant tied around Ying Shu's waist. The ribbon danced in the wind, and the acacia seeds looked as red as blood. He suddenly let out a long howl, which startled a group of gulls and herons on the left bank, and also startled the returning deputy envoy of the Northern Han Dynasty on the ship on the right. He came out of the cabin and stood on the deck to watch.

Nanci bowed to him.

"Fei Jin should be Jiang Tai's confidant, right?" Nan Ci said in a low voice.

"The chief envoy is Jiang Mo, and the deputy envoy must be Jiang Tai's eyes and ears. His mission should be to supervise Jiang Mo to make the palace envoy to Han. Of course, he will not harm our group, at least before we arrive in Chang'an. Not only will he not harm us, but when we arrive in Hanzhong, he will also ensure our safety along the way." Ying Shu no longer concealed the inside story she knew from Nan Ci: "This Fei Jin was originally trusted by the Northern Han Taizun, but he was won over by Jiang Tai a long time ago. Without his cooperation, Jiang Tai's plan to usurp the throne would not have gone so smoothly. After we arrive in Chang'an, we must also pay special attention to this person. His wife is the younger sister of the current Northern Han Taifei, and Jiang Mo's biological aunt."

As soon as Yingshu finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of the third prince walking out of the cabin from the corner of her eye.
