After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Yingshu has always been very confident in the Flying Eagle Tribe. The Flying Eagle Tribe was not created by Sikong Yuehu alone. Initially, her grandfather was responsible for its planning and construction. Later, it was improved by Baichuan Jun. She had no idea when it was handed over to Sikong Yuehu, but the Flying Eagle Tribe was indeed in Sikong Yuehu's hands and played its role to the extreme.

Qiu Kong, who was being tested by Gao at this time, was not a spy from the Ministry of Silent Speech, but a member of the Flying Eagle Tribe. Of course, Jia Ding was not Jiu Wu's grandson either.

The private forces cultivated by the Gao clan were actually vulnerable. When the Jiu Wu grandfather and grandson fell into the hands of the Flying Eagle clan, they were not tortured but suffered some physical pain. Then they saw two boxes of gold ingots, and their desire to survive and get rich was ignited. His family was originally slaves of the Gao clan, and it was their duty to fight for their master and die for him, and they received no additional compensation. Jiu Wu brought his eldest grandson to Dajing in order to save him from being conscripted as a soldier.

Both of his sons died on the battlefield. Seeing that his grandson was also old enough to go to the battlefield, the old servant couldn't help but be selfish.

The safety in private is still several times higher than on the battlefield.

Betrayal is not in human nature, but the spirit of selfless dedication, although heard by most people, has always been shaky in their minds, especially for slaves like Jiu Wu. They are not even as good as the retainers. In Northern Zhao, they have no chance to change their status by merit. The wealth and glory of their master's family has to be exchanged with their lives, but it has never had the slightest connection with them. Even the food in their mouths and the clothes on their bodies will not change.

People living at the bottom of society have no beliefs, and what they see more easily are benefits.

Surviving means having the opportunity to live a more stable life and to buy a house and land. Such bait is too juicy.

And what they had to do was nothing more than confessing some private affairs of the lower court. They did not need to deceive their former master Gao themselves. Just by saying a few words, they could get away with it without any burden.

Gao, who was fed with his wife's breast milk, always claimed to be extremely attached to her wet nurse. Whenever she saw him, she would ask about his wife. However, knowing that his eldest grandson was in the capital, Gao never showed any support, and even didn't bother to see his grandson. So he was too embarrassed to mention the painful fact that his two sons had died in battle. What would it matter if he did? The dead cannot be resurrected. Many soldiers of Gao's army died in battle, but the host family never compensated them with a penny or a bucket of rice. No one comforted the old man for the grief of sending off the young man, but it was encouraging. For a soldier, dying on the battlefield was the highest honor.

It was as if the master had given them trust, and they should naturally make sacrifices for that trust.

The young man pretending to be Jia Ding was trying to persuade Qiu Kong: "Although the Forbidden Talk Division has its own rules, my wife is now the Jincheng Lord of Northern Han. If we cannot confirm your identity and rashly help you out, it is very likely to put the kingdom and ourselves in danger. If you are really a guard of the Forbidden Talk Division, how can you ignore the overall situation and stick to the rules!"

"The Lord of Shenyuan Palace of Dongyu has indeed been sent as an envoy to Northern Han." Qiu Kong finally managed to utter a word.

Gao snorted coldly: "For just this one thing, do you need to risk sneaking from Dongyu to Dajing to inform the Northern Yamen?"

"Prince Zhenyuan voluntarily moved to Prince Dongyu's Ziwei Palace, and took the initiative to propose that he did not need the Northern Han envoys' guards except for two trusted attendants. Now the safety of Prince Zhenyuan is no longer under the control of the Northern Han King. It is impossible for the Northern Han King to assassinate Prince Zhenyuan, put the blame on Dongyu, and use the opportunity to terminate the peace talks. Does the lady know about this?"

Gao's expression changed.

It was she who revealed the plan of the King of Northern Han to her family. Logically speaking, it was not yet the critical moment to confront Gong Xianglu in the court, and her father should not have disclosed the information. However, the people from the Ministry of Forbidden Speech knew the secret. Could it be that Uncle Jiu Wu had really fallen into the hands of the Ministry of Forbidden Speech?

"Although I am in Dongyu, I have also learned about the recent changes in the Northern Han Dynasty. Although the identity of the Lord of the Divine Yuan Palace has been questioned, the Lord of the Divine Yuan Palace has Zhigui to prove his identity. As you know, the Zhigui must have been brought to the Northern Han Dynasty by the Lord of the Divine Yuan Palace!"

"Are you sure?"

"How can we offer sacrifices to the Emperor Shenzong's tomb without offering a precious jade pendant? The people from the Ministry of Speech have already infiltrated the Ziwei Palace. They found out that Prince Zhenyuan knew about this, so he dared to use himself as a hostage to try his best to persuade Emperor Dongyu to agree to the peace terms proposed by Northern Han!"

Gao clenched her fist and smashed the table in front of her: "Northern Han King Jiang Tai, he doesn't want to destroy the Xuan family's flag, but intends to seize this flag for his own use!"

"I sneaked into Northern Han to inform the Northern Yamen of these important situations. No matter what plan the King of Northern Han has, why he is so sure to deceive Great Zhao and force Dong Yu to submit, we must now find ways to prove that the Lord of Shenyuan Palace is an impostor, forcing Jiang Tai to turn against Dong Yu. I never expected that Northern Han would take the lead in taking action against the Ban on Speech Department. Now I can only hurry back to Luoyang and report this matter to Your Majesty for a decision."

Gao had completely believed Qiu Kong's words.

She has always been puzzled. Jiang Mo could have relied on the support of the Ran clan and others to refuse to be used as a hostage by Jiang Tai, but Jiang Mo did not say a word and followed orders. How did Jiang Tai convince Jiang Mo? If Jiang Tai's goal was to join forces with Dongyu to attack Zhao, and he promised Jiang Mo that if he could make this happen, he would give Luoyang to Jiang Mo as a fiefdom, then Jiang Tai, a villain, would certainly not keep his promise, but Jiang Mo would definitely take advantage of the situation.

The living Jiang Mo is just a pawn for Dong Yu to instigate civil strife in Northern Han.

Jiang Tai and Jiang Mo each have their own ulterior motives, and Dong Yu is even more eager for the six-tribe alliance to fall apart so that he can take the opportunity to march north and recover the lost territory.

And yesterday, Wei had obviously concealed something from her. If Wang Yingshu hadn't let it slip, Wei would have had no intention of telling her that the fat rose that she had cheated from Wang Yingshu had been handed over to the Queen!

Zhigui has already entered Northern Han, but Wei Shi kept it a secret. No wonder Jiang Tai dared to burn the tower and design a good show of divine foretelling disasters. It seemed that the spearhead was aimed at Dongyu, but in fact it was intended to let Da Zhao relax its vigilance.

Gao was furious because she almost fell into the trap and was used by Wei.

"I will arrange for you to leave immediately, but it will take another day or two. You will stay at Jia Ding's residence for the next two days." Gao first comforted Qiu Kong, then turned around and told Jia Ding alone: ​​"This man cannot be left here, you must find a way to silence him, as for what happens next, you don't have to worry about it, I will write to my father. After you deal with Qiu Kong, come to see me again, you will stay here during this period, don't worry, no one in Jincheng Mansion dares to touch you."

In the streets of Chang'an and inside and outside the Weiyang Palace, there was an atmosphere of tension. Although the assassin who tried to assassinate Xiping Jie had been arrested, the farce had not completely come to an end. On the contrary, as the truth came out, it caused even more turbulent waves. The Qiang people might not be particularly afraid of Dayu, but they were all worried about being attacked by Northern Zhao.

People who have lived for a while have experienced the thrilling Battle of Hangu Pass between Han and Zhao. Although the Han army occupied the dangerous pass, not only did it suffer 20,000 casualties among the defenders, it was even forced to retreat to Tongguan. At that time, almost all the men in the capital city were urgently recruited to the battlefield. If it had not been for the heavy rain that flooded the Northern Zhao army camp and forced it to retreat, and when Northern Zhao intended to bypass Wuguan and attack Northern Han again, it was intercepted by the Xiangyang army of Dongyu.

How could the Qiang tribe defend Chang'an? They had already been driven back to Kunlun Plain.

Therefore, Xiping *** was criticized by his fellow tribesmen again.

"He was just frightened and not hurt at all. If it weren't for the traitor's insistence, the Queen Mother wouldn't have ordered the execution of the Northern Zhao spy!"

"Is Bei Zhao a spy? Not a spy at all. Bei Zhao is the leader of the six ministries and has the right to set up supervisory agencies in the six ministries."

"After all, if *** hadn't been so arrogant and had offended the envoys of Northern Zhao, Northern Zhao wouldn't have warned her."

"Isn't it the Queen Mother's indulgence that makes *** so domineering?"

"The burning of the Spiritual Tower may be a sign that a rebellion against the emperor and the usurpation of the throne has occurred in our Han Empire. It is against the will of heaven. The queen appointed by the Grand Master was clearly not Yao. Now Yao is the Queen Mother, and Queen Wen has been reduced to a concubine!"

"To be honest, King Zhenyuan was indeed the crown prince chosen by the national witch before she passed away."

Everyone dared to speak out about these discussions, but Jiang Tai did not get furious after hearing them. He dared to burn the Spirit Tower because he anticipated that his act of usurping the throne would be criticized by Jiang Mo's party. He actually wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the hidden danger with the help of Wu Chen. The purpose of burning the Spirit Tower was not only to "cleverly seize" Zhigui.

Unfortunately, after all the planning, he didn't expect that Wang Yingshu, a woman who had just come of age, had already taken precautions. Not only did she not trust Madam Wei, but she also prepared a large box of fake items, leaving him no excuse to rob her. He had to get the real Zhigui.

Before the New Year's prayer ceremony ends, Jiang Tai must think of a way to make amends and get the Zhigui into his hands with almost no doubt.

The day when the ghost sense ends is getting closer and closer. On the day he steps out of the high sacrificial hall, Jiang Tai must give an explanation of what divine prophecy he has received from the ghost sense and how to explain the disaster of the Spirit Tower being burned down by heavenly fire. At the same time, how to convince the majority of believers to dispel their worries and believe in the published statements. Jiang Tai will certainly not tell everyone that the identity of the Lord of Shenyuan Palace is a fake substitute, but he will not declare that the identity of the Lord is definitely not a fake substitute. However, the key to the whole plan is to get Zhigui in his hands first, so as to force the Lord of Shenyuan Palace to cooperate.

That day, Jiang Tai summoned Lady Wei to discuss the matter again.

"If the Zhigui is already in our hands, Xuan Shi will not be able to prove her identity and will have to agree to stay in the Weiyang Palace. I will also announce to the world that the Palace Master has lost the Zhigui and cannot prove his identity, so the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the Emperor Shenzong's Mausoleum can only be cancelled. However, the negotiation and establishment of diplomatic relations with Dongyu is related to the welfare of the subjects and should continue.

If Xuan Shi and Emperor Dong Yu insist on questioning our dynasty, then I will directly declare Xuan Shi to be a false replacement. The burning of the Spiritual Tower was caused by Dong Yu's breach of trust. Xuan Shi's life and death is controlled by me. I can completely use the execution of Xuan Shi and Yu's envoy as a condition to persuade Northern Zhao to unite with the other four tribes to attack Dong Yu. Emperor Dong Yu will not be able to refuse."

Jiang Tai discussed the detailed deployment of the Grand Minister. In fact, there was no need to tell Madam Wei one by one, but now the original plan has not been smoothly implemented, so he had to explain in detail: "The Spiritual Tower was destroyed, but the Cloud Spirit Pearl was fortunately preserved. In fact, the purpose of building the Spiritual Tower was to enshrine the Cloud Spirit Pearl. The Cloud Spirit Pearl was only dimmed by the smoke, but as long as Wu Chen performed a little magic, it would see the light again. The ignorant people believed in the saying of the netherworld.

At that time, the national witch had always insisted on not moving the temple and the pagoda. However, in order to detain the national witch in Dajing and continue to assist his son, Wen persuaded the old man Jiang Xiongying to force the temple and the pagoda to move, forcing the national witch to stay in Beijing. Wu Chen and many witch officials had long resented Wen. Unfortunately, the national witch was loyal to Jiang Xiongying. When the national witch was alive, Wu Chen and others had no choice but to submit.

Now that Wu Chen is willing to serve me loyally, of course he will not hesitate to make the truth public. Jiang Xiongying forcibly moved the temple and pagoda here, which was against the will of God, and the spiritual pagoda was burned. What I feel is the will of God to rebuild the temple and pagoda of Kunlun Xu, and let Wu Chen return the Yunling Pearl to Kunlun Xu. All believers who are willing to follow it will follow it. When they see the Yunling Pearl being returned to Kunlun Xu, the light will be restored. Who will doubt that the so-called disaster was actually caused by Jiang Xiongying!"

Madam Wei said with emotion: "Your Majesty's plan can be said to have the best of both worlds."

"But now, we still haven't got the fat rose in our hands."

"The only chance I have now is to force the Lord of the Divine Origin Palace to prove his identity with Zhigui, so that I can capture the real Zhigui. However... Deputy Envoy Zuo is already on guard against me, so I really have no other options."

Mrs. Wei was at a loss as to what to do, and Jiang Tai was even more at a loss. But at this moment, someone took the initiative to offer advice.

This person is Queen Mother Yao.

"Empress Dowager Yao is not suitable for the political arena. Here..."

In the Baoguang Palace, Yingshu was chatting with the Palace Master. She was almost lying on the table, but she raised her arm, stretched out her finger, and tapped one side of Sishui's forehead, where his round black eyes were staring at her.

"What's going on here?" Si Shui was so fascinated by what he was listening that he asked subconsciously.

"It's blocked." Yingshu said with a smile.

Surabaya: …

Okay, you have to admit that the Deputy Envoy Left said that you have a blockage in your brain. That's just a flattery from the Deputy Envoy Left. At least the Deputy Envoy Left acknowledges that you still have brains.

"The arrogant Queen Mother Yao has not yet cleared out the spies of Concubine Wen in the Weiyang Palace. Even her own confidants have long been won over by Concubine Wen. Even if such people will no longer be loyal to Concubine Wen, how can they trust their lives and safety to Queen Mother Yao, who has been deceived by her? The only way out is to find another wise master."

"Then who is the wise leader?" Si Shui asked.

"Me." Yingshu curved her two beautiful eyebrows. She never liked to deliberately trim her eyebrows to make them thin and show a high brow arch. But when she was smiling and proud, her brow arch naturally curved out of shape.

"But the Left Deputy Envoy clearly has never had any contact with the palace maids in the Empress Dowager's Palace." Si Shui was puzzled.

Dianjun couldn't help but tap Sishui's forehead: "Don't ask any more questions."

"In short, Queen Mother Yao has unknowingly become a puppet in our hands, and will also drag the Queen into Jiang Tai's next angry outburst. Tomorrow, there will be a good show to watch."

The next day is the day that everyone is looking forward to. On this day, the New Year Prayer Ceremony will start the next ceremony, which also means that the New Year Prayer Ceremony is about to come to an end. On this day, the king who has been in the deep meditation in the great sacrificial hall will end the deep meditation and summon the witch minister. The witch minister will write down the divine will and offer sacrifices to the Kunlun Temple. After an auspicious day is obtained, a ceremony to worship the sky will be held and the divine will will be announced. Generally speaking, when the divine will is delivered to the Kunlun Temple, the New Year Prayer Ceremony can be declared over.

Regarding God's will, believers actually see it as a "predetermined" prediction, and when it is announced is no longer relevant to prayer.

However, there were too many unexpected events and disturbances during this year's annual prayer ceremony, which was an exception since the founding of the Northern Han Dynasty. In addition to the divine predictions, the people were also concerned about whether there would be war or peace with Northern Zhao and Eastern Yu. These military and political matters had nothing to do with good weather and harvest. His Majesty the Emperor had already ended his inquiries, and logically speaking, even if he did not announce the divine will for the time being, he had to give the people an explanation.
