Chapter 390: The Queen Mother of Northern Han

Jiang Tai had a new understanding of the Left Deputy Envoy.

As an envoy, it is a basic ability to argue with reason, but she actually dared to beat up the ***!!!

"His Majesty!"

"Big brother!"

When his mother and younger sister called out in unison, Jiang Tai aimed at Ying Shu's nonchalant smiling face.

He swallowed and tried to calm himself. Northern Han was wrong in this matter, and so was his mother. Why did they say that the envoys from Dongyu should be imprisoned in Wumei Cang? His younger sister even threatened to pluck out their eyebrows.

"Please take a seat, Deputy Envoy Left." Jiang Tai glared at his younger sister but did not dare to glare at his own mother. He immediately turned around and asked Envoy Yu to sit down first so that he could think about how to resolve this matter.

Ying Shu sat down. Seeing Jiang Tai in trouble, she was quite understanding: "I actually know why *** came to Baoguang Palace to cause trouble today. It's not for state affairs, and I don't want to care about it. But *** refused to give in, so I had to let the guards take away ***'s murder weapon and stop *** from continuing to commit crimes, and wait for Madam Wei to deal with it. Who knew that the Queen Mother was eager to protect her daughter, and I was still able to understand.

My parents regard me as the apple of their eye and will not tolerate me suffering any injustice. The Queen Mother loves her daughter, and I can understand her, so I was summoned here, hoping to explain the situation and make peace with the Queen Mother.

Who would have known that the Queen Mother would actually confiscate the foreign ministers into the Wumei Cang? The Queen Mother must know that the foreign ministers are not subjects of Northern Han, but envoys of Dayu. If the Queen Mother humiliates the ministers, it is like humiliating Dayu, right? "

Jiang Tai: ...

"That's why the foreign minister stopped the ***'s atrocities. The foreign minister was not injured, and the *** was not injured either. Let's just regard this as a misunderstanding. After all, the Queen Mother was out for personal grudges today, and there is no need to escalate it to the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

Jiang Tai felt relieved: "As expected of an envoy appointed by the emperor of your country. Although the left deputy envoy is a woman, she has a very broad mind."

But the smoke on the Queen Mother of Northern Han's forehead had risen to nine feet high.

"Emperor! The reason I am angry is because Wang's daughter took Xiping's protective strategy for no reason!"

Jiang Tai frowned.

"It was the thieves who rushed to Baoguang Palace first to commit the crime. The outside ministers had no choice but to order the guards to take away the murder weapon."

"I didn't hurt you Han people. I beat the eunuchs and slaves of my Northern Han. What does it have to do with you?" *** was finally led onto the track of reasoning.

The Queen Mother also snorted coldly: "Two shameless Han women, since you entered my Weiyang Palace, you should be treated as concubines of the Han Dynasty. Not to mention that Xiping punished the Han palace slaves, it is only natural to punish you."

Yingshu smiled and looked at Jiang Tai.

"Mother!" Jiang Tai roared.

Finally, he restrained his anger and turned his head. "I will deal fairly with the Left Deputy Envoy for today's matter. From now on, no one is allowed to enter Baoguang Palace without permission. Apart from me, no one in Northern Han is qualified to summon Yu Envoy. Left Deputy Envoy, if anyone else enters Baoguang Palace without permission, the guards of the Great Yu Envoy Corps will kill the trespasser without mercy."

"With your majesty's clear ban, I believe no one outside will dare to violate the etiquette."

Yingshu decided to quit while she was ahead and got up to say goodbye.

Before she had walked a few steps away, she heard Queen Mother Yao roaring: Why does the emperor indulge such a bitch? ! !

Hey, Yingshu finally understood why Jiang Tai succeeded in seizing the throne in his previous life but failed later. With such a mother and a think tank like Jiang Gaofan, Jiang Tai might not be able to defeat the flexible Jiang Mo. Thinking in this way, Jiang Tai's inexplicable launch of the Southern Expedition must have been instigated by Queen Mother Yao. It seems to prove that although Jiang Tai is ambitious, he has no opinion of his own?

"Huyan Lina, get out of Weiyang Palace!" Jiang Tai was really angry.

"Emperor!" The Queen Mother was also furious: "You keep saying that you want to keep the daughter of the Xuan family. How can you keep her without giving her the title of a concubine?! Since she has entered the Northern Han Dynasty, she has become your concubine. How can you disobey your biological mother and scold your sister for these two lowly Han women!"

"My dear mother, if I can forcefully detain the envoy from Yu, why must I ask the Lord of Shenyuan Palace to come to Han?! Yes, I didn't take Dongyu seriously in the past. He Zhi was only able to defend Yizhou by relying on the natural barrier of Jianmen Pass! But I have already found a shortcut that can bypass Jianmen Pass and directly attack Yizhou City. I thought I had a sure win, but I never imagined that what would happen if I captured Yizhou? We don't have warships and are not good at naval battles. We can't defend Yizhou at all, let alone go down the river to capture Jiankang!

It was Da Shangchen who reminded me that instead of attacking the south first, it would be better to attack Jiangbei first, leaving behind the Lord of Shenyuan Palace, so that more and more remnants of the people could surrender to Han. The reason why Northern Zhao was able to take the lead in building navy and warships was because they first nominated a fake descendant of Emperor Shenzong. They gave the remnants a wrong consciousness, thinking that as long as Northern Zhao unified the world, there would be no distinction between Hu and Han. They had no hope of surrendering to Yu, so they would be loyal to Northern Zhao.

Can we Qiang people build warships? Without warships, even if we have thousands of troops, we can't cross the river! Moreover, Dongyu is still in internal strife. If a dispute over the throne breaks out in Dongyu, no matter which prince takes the throne, it will inevitably lead to the loss of power and even extermination of the powerful in different camps.

With the Lord of the Divine Yuan Palace in my Northern Han, they have an excuse to surrender without having to worry about being accused of treason. With these people, we can quickly build naval warships. As long as we conquer Northern Zhao first, we can call on the other four tribes to gather in the south. Mother, my ambition is not to occupy the northwest, I want to be the overlord of this world!"

"What ability does Dong Yu have? Your Majesty, you overestimate these kings and ministers who lost their country!"

"Dongyu is not dead yet." Jiang Tai felt a headache: "Mother, wake up. South of the Yangtze River, even Xiangyang and Huaibei, are still under the rule of Dongyu. Sikong Yuehu has risen, and even Beizhao was severely damaged by his army. South of the Yangtze River is still a unified dynasty, but what about us north of the Yangtze River? It is divided into six countries, each with its own camp, and there are constant conflicts. Dashangchen is a capable man, and mother does not understand military and political affairs, so don't interfere in state affairs!"

"The daughter of the Xuan family is fine, but what about the daughter of the Wang family?"

"She is nothing, so she will not stay in my Northern Han. We only need to convince the Lord of Shenyuan Palace to stay. The other three Yu envoys must be allowed to return safely to Eastern Yu. Mother, only by accomplishing this can my throne be consolidated and it will be possible to replace Northern Zhao step by step. What's the point of me restoring the glory of Yi'ao clan now? Wait until I unify Jiangbei first, and my Huyan clan and Yi'ao clan will be truly strong. It's ridiculous for the Grand Master to set up Wumei Warehouse. It's really a pity for the Queen Mother that he even wants to confiscate the envoys of Dayu into Wumei Warehouse?"

"Establishing Wumei Warehouse was your grandfather's idea!"

"Why didn't grandpa preserve the honor of our family?" Jiang Tai was furious. "Wumeicang is nothing but a bunch of unarmed slaves. Don't you really think that if they surrender, my Qiang tribe will be able to dominate the world? I beg you, don't deceive yourself anymore."

Jiang Gaofan once said that arrogance will lead to self-destruction.

When Jiang Taichu heard this, he actually sneered and disagreed. He even wanted to execute the slave who didn't even deserve a name. But Jiang Gaofan interrupted and said, "Just like your Majesty, you think that dominating the Guanzhong region is enough to make decisions on your own. You ignore the fact that the eldest prince has already established his prestige in the army, and you insist on exiling the eldest prince despite the opposition of the nobles. You just want to appoint a child who has done nothing as the crown prince. You don't know that even the king of a country will be retaliated if he violates the etiquette and faith first! Your Highness has endured hardships and humiliation, and he will definitely be able to set things right!"

Jiang Tai then swallowed the execution option of "beating to death".

He thought he had concealed his intention of raising an army for revenge, and never imagined that it would be seen through by a mere soldier slave.

Let's continue to listen to Jiang Gaofan's "theory" - whether it is the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiangdi and other tribes, if they still follow the old system and treat their people as slaves, how can they take advantage of the situation to invade the Central Plains, destroy Xiyu, divide the nine states and dominate one after another? In addition to the Yi Ao clan, many of the tribes that Your Highness relies on were once slaves. It was precisely because of military merits that they were able to get rid of slavery and become powerful and noble, becoming a powerful force in Your Highness's hands that is enough to confront the monarch. Can Your Highness realize his ambitions relying only on the Yi Ao clan?

No.

Just like his mother, who had a noble status, had to obey the old system after his father Han passed away and became his father Han's "relics" to be inherited. She even lost her position as the queen and could only watch him being exiled.

No noble lady in Yi'ao had ever suffered such a great humiliation.

But no one spoke up for the Queen Mother.

Only he, only when he successfully seizes the throne, can his mother restore her honor.

Jiang Tai has more and more faith in the iron fist rule. He has to possess an iron fist himself and also rely on the strategies of knowledgeable people.

He certainly would not let his mother be humiliated again, but he was also very impatient with her arrogance.

Today's Qiang tribe is no longer a small tribe that is respected by both the Huyan tribe and the Yi'ao tribe. He changed his name to a Han surname in order to establish a new order. He needs more support from the Han people to serve him so that he can realize his ambition of unifying the world.

Isn't it funny that his grandfather's narrow and outdated ideas were regarded as unshakable iron laws by his mother? His mother couldn't tolerate the fact that the Great Han Kingdom welcomed the Lord of the Divine Yuan Palace and became a woman more noble than her, the queen, and her younger sister, so she wishfully thought that at most the Lord of the Divine Yuan Palace would be allowed to occupy a place in the harem. Isn't this arrogance? Her origin in the Yi'ao tribe, which made her mother proud, had long since reduced her to an extremely embarrassing and humiliating reality, worse than the same as livestock.

Da Shangchen is right.

Originally, the women of the Yi'ao tribe never had the power to interfere in military and political affairs. Even when the Yi'ao tribe was truly powerful, they were nothing more than a gold-painted plaque decorating the house. Whether it continued to hang high or was taken down and placed in a warehouse to collect dust depended on whether the person who owned the mansion valued the plaque.

Because the Queen Mother was his biological mother, he would naturally let her enjoy the honor. Only with him around could her become the owner of the mansion. But his mother insisted on being the gold-painted plaque that he used. Isn't that ridiculous? Isn't that absurd?

Jiang Tai made up his mind: "Abolishing Wumei Cang is a trivial condition for me to keep Lord Shenyuan. The Xuan surname of Emperor Shenzong is the main source of the Han Dynasty that must be respected. Mother, our country is called Han, so we must first let all the Han subjects in the world recognize us as the orthodox of the Central Plains. Even the former Han Dynasty, the common ruler of the world, has always respected the Emperor Shenzong's clan as the 'first ancestor of human civilization'. I am very fortunate that there is only one female descendant of the Emperor Shenzong's clan. Please carefully consider what I said today, and please remember that there is no Yi'ao tribe in the Han Dynasty, only the Yao clan of Jincheng."

The Queen Mother is not so easily angered to death.

Otherwise, she would have been angry to death when Taizun insisted on making Wen the queen.

The empress dowager also had old confidants around her, who were similar to the maids who came with the dowry. The slight difference was that she was destined to become the queen of the Qiang tribe from birth, so the female servants around her had "official positions" early on, called "Nu Zan". Nu Zan was not a slave, and the Nu Zan around the empress dowager was even her illegitimate sister.

"It's not that Your Majesty is unfilial, but Your Majesty is not an ordinary person." Yao Nvzan supported the Queen Mother and walked out of the hall. They moved to the small garden behind the hall and sat in the pavilion beside the koi pond. "If it weren't for the Great Shangchen, Your Majesty's uprising would not have been so smooth. Your Majesty's initial idea was to wait until the Grand Master was old and sick and unable to control the situation before starting the war. The Queen Mother knew that with Wen by the Grand Master's side, the Grand Master would most likely kill the Queen Mother or even his brother first when he was seriously ill."

"I still have two princes by my side, why should I be afraid of that old man and that bitch!"

"Are the military capabilities of the two kings better than your majesty?" Yao Nuzan mercilessly pointed out the Queen Mother's weakness.

She was born out of wedlock and happened to be three years older than the empress dowager. She was destined to be the empress dowager's Nvzan, and was not allowed to marry in her life. But in fact, she had the opportunity to be favored and give birth to children. Her fate after becoming Nvzan depended on her younger sister.

The Khan of the Qiang tribe was only the ex-husband of his legitimate sister and never favored concubines.

So she could only serve as a female supporter and assist her younger sister.

There was nothing wrong with this. She was actually not willing to share a husband with her younger sister. She had other pursuits, so she wanted to get rid of the shackles of Nüzan - Nüzan could not marry. If Nüzan wanted to marry, she could only become a concubine of the Khan after she was favored. When the Khan died, the Khan who succeeded to the throne would marry her to someone else.

Yao Nuzan could have been lucky, but she was very unfortunate.

The Queen Mother, however, valued her half-sister who had always been loyal to her: "Are we really just going to watch our father's family fall?"

"The Yi'ao tribe will not fall, but the Queen Mother needs to give Your Majesty some time, and the Queen Mother must not listen to the ill-intentioned villains who are trying to alienate them. Madam Wei and Da Shangchen are not the Queen Mother's enemies."

"I really don't understand, elder sister, why are you pleading for lowly people like Wei and Jiang Gaofan?"

"Queen Dowager, Madam Wei was originally the spy that Wen Shi planted beside Your Highness. But if it weren't for Madam Wei, Wen Shi would have known that Your Highness was secretly planning a rebellion! The little prince born to Madam Wei was also harmed by Wen Shi. She and Your Majesty have been of the same mind from beginning to end.

The Queen Mother is prejudiced against Han officials because of her father's long-standing advocacy. But think about it, if she had not believed in the instigation, why would she embarrass Your Majesty? Although Wen is under house arrest now, she still has her eyes and ears in Weiyang Palace. If the Queen Mother embarrasses Your Majesty, it will surely make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy. "

"If you put it that way, I can hold my temper for now, but when I think about the fact that a Han woman from the Xuan family is superior to the nobles of my Qiang tribe, I feel... I am already old, and I don't know if I can wait until the day when our Yi'ao tribe can regain its former glory."

"The Queen Mother is already the Queen Mother. She is still the Queen Mother of Northern Han today, and will definitely be the Queen Mother of Great Han in the future!"

Although the Northern Han now calls itself the "Great Han", it has not actually been recognized by the Northern Zhao and other countries. Even the letter written by Dayu actually refers to it as the "Northern Han" and Jiang Tai as the "king" rather than the "emperor". In other words, Queen Dowager Yao only enjoyed the honor of Queen Dowager in the Northern Han. In other countries, even slaves could be called Yao.

What Yao Nuzan meant by what she said just now was that in Northern Han, Queen Mother Yao had greatly defeated the former Queen Wen and had firmly pinned Wen on the title of Concubine Dowager. After Jiang Tai unified the world in the future, he would certainly only respect his biological mother as Queen Dowager. Even the Lord of Shenyuan Palace, if he really stayed in Northern Han, would once have surpassed the Queen Dowager of Northern Han. But after he lost his usefulness, she, a woman, would only end up being two people.

If she marries and has children, the children cannot have the surname Xuan, and the bloodline of Emperor Shenzong will be cut off.

Even if she never married, the bloodline of Emperor Shenzong would still be cut off.

Even though more and more Han people were granted good citizenship, they still submitted to the rule of the Qiang people.

Why should the Queen Mother be so concerned about the temporary "superiority and inferiority"?

Does this mean that she can now bully the Lord of Shenyuan Palace in Northern Han, and no one in the world will dare to provoke her?

In the eyes of all the countries now, the Queen Mother of Northern Han is not worth mentioning at all, and the Lord of Shenyuan Palace is the noble person who must be fought for.
