After rebirth, I made the princes cry
Chapter 420 People Are Different
When Lady Wei was summoned by Jiang Tai, she did not hide the traces of crying on her face.
"Why is Madam so sad? Could it be that Wang Yingshu asked Madam to go to Baoguang Palace to humiliate her?" Jiang Tai seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, but without waiting for Madam Wei's response, he continued to talk to himself: "Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case? Even if Wang Yingshu suspected that the Queen also intended to steal Zhigui, after all, as Madam speculated, the Queen would definitely stop the Queen Mother from searching Baoguang Palace. After the Jiantai incident, Madam went to test her. Didn't it also mean that Wang Yingshu did trust Madam and hoped that Madam could promote peace talks between the two countries?"
Mrs. Wei had never been disheartened by Jiang Tai's coldness.
She had no expectations in the first place, so naturally she couldn't say she was disappointed. Her original intention in gaining Jiang Tai's trust was also to protect herself.
She didn't care about Jiang Tai's use of her to confuse Wen Shi.
Madam Wei turned aside and said, "The Left Vice Envoy is anxious to set a date for the grand ceremony. Today, he discussed with the Grand Minister to no avail, and now he is urging me to persuade Your Majesty. Since I cannot agree to the Left Vice Envoy's coercion, I can only think of a way to dispel his suspicion so that Your Majesty's plan can proceed smoothly. So I had to repeat the old trick and emphasize that my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law were all harmed by the eldest princess. If I don't cry bitterly, I will not be able to gain the Left Vice Envoy's trust."
As she said this, her eyes turned red again, and Madam Wei choked up and said, "I was too immersed in the play."
Jiang Tai showed a bit of embarrassment on his face. After a pause, he sighed and said, "Lina was indeed... too arrogant and cruel back then, but her character has already been formed, and I can't protect myself, so I really can't protect Madam's family. I failed you."
Jiang Tai seldom expressed such a light apology.
"I know that everything was a trick of the Wen family. The eldest princess was just used by the Wen family. No matter what, she is your majesty's sister after all. In order to protect your majesty, the eldest princess married the Duke of Xiping. How can your majesty have the heart to punish the eldest princess? I am a nobody. It is a great blessing for me to be favored by your majesty. How dare I put your majesty in a situation of being unfilial and unbrotherly? Besides, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. I will only ask the Wen family to pay back this blood debt."
"I promised my lady that sooner or later, the Wen family will pay for their blood debt with blood."
This is something I have to repeat from time to time.
If enemies must be ranked, Jiang Tai would be at the end. However, what Madam Wei could never forget was that the only person who sincerely pleaded for her family was Jiang Mo. What did Jiang Tai say at that time... Jiang Mo's hypocritical plea was in unison with that of Mrs. Wen. Everyone knew that the mother and son were just adding fuel to the fire by acting like this.
How could Jiang Tai not see the difference between adding fuel to the fire and being merciless? Empress Wen, who added fuel to the fire, acted like a legitimate mother and scolded Jiang Lina, saying over and over again - Your Majesty and I have spoiled you! Jiang Mo did not say these words. He just begged Jiang Xiongying that since he had legislated and revised the criminal law, he should not impose private punishment. The guilt of the subjects should be examined by the criminal officials.
Jiang Tai didn't want her brother to become Jiang Lina's "guest official".
What he was worried about was that once her brother was conquered by Jiang Lina, and changed from resistance to pleasing and clinging to her, and her brother became her backer, she, as a plaything, might get out of control. With someone to rely on, her ambition would swell, and she would force Jiang Tai to choose between her and Wu, and might even alienate the brother-sister relationship between him and Jiang Lina.
In Jiang Tai's opinion, it would be less of a worry if her family members died out.
All men are the same, thinking that if a woman gives birth to his child, she will live for the child. From then on, her own children will replace their parents and family and become the most important people in the woman's mind. She gave birth to a son for Jiang Tai. Even for the sake of her own son, she would never listen to Yu Wen again. She would definitely assist him in winning the throne, because only when he won the throne could her son have the possibility of inheriting the throne.
Why bother saving her family?
She may be Jiang Tai's favorite woman, but compared with power, all people are insignificant in Jiang Tai's eyes.
This kind of love is like loving a pet or a table of delicious food. He loves her because she can make Jiang Tai happy and satisfy some desires other than power. She has never been irreplaceable, but she has always tried to please Jiang Tai, like a fish that takes the initiative to remove its sharp spines to present the most delicious color and taste, so that Jiang Tai can eat happily and with peace of mind.
That's why Jiang Tai could never forget this dish of hers.
She despised herself, and for a while, she actually blamed herself for Jiang Tai.
"Your Majesty, there is no time to lose. The plan should be implemented." Madam Wei finally gave Jiang Tai a straight face. She was not able to control her tears easily. Sometimes she could not cry, but she could hold it back. There were no more tears in Madam Wei's eyes. Her eyes were burning: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I am sure I can convince Wen to put the deadly poison into the medicine for the emperor!"
Jiang Tai didn't even ask about the details.
He had wanted Jiang Xiongying to die a long time ago!
In fact, he had already forgotten the voice and appearance of his biological father. What impressed him most was the grand sky burial ceremony. Soon he had to call his uncle father. As a young boy, like all Qiang people, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with the system he had been following. He once really regarded Jiang Xiongying as his father, as the supreme king of Kunlun Xu, and gave him sincere love and respect.
Even if his mother told him that he couldn't trust Huyan Xiongying, this ungrateful bastard!
At that time, he believed that his great father, the Khan, would never abandon his son for a woman.
He charged to the front in every battle. He was not afraid of dying in battle because he was praised by his father Khan. He thought he was the luckiest man in Kunlun Xu.
It turns out that he was once extremely stupid.
He was expelled not because he violated the law of etiquette. His original sin was that he had the first line of succession, but was not Jiang Xiongying's biological son. How much he loved and respected him in the past, how much he hated and despised him now. It was Jiang Xiongying who betrayed the promise he made when he inherited the throne and trampled on him first.
He will never forget that when he was expelled, Jiang Xiongying looked down at him and told him that the strong are kings and respected, this is the real iron law in the world! Your father, my brother, was indeed the most powerful hero in Kunlunxu. He was like a god who only protected the people of my Qiang tribe. We submitted to him and followed him willingly. And you, a mere child, begged for mercy at my knees to survive. What qualifications do you have to be the crown prince of the Han Dynasty today? You should be thankful that I still regard you as a child of the royal family. For thirty years, I have fed you with grain and meat. If I had executed you, it would have been in vain for so many years of hard work. You can still continue to live now because of my kindness as a king.
The strong are king and respected, these six words will never be forgotten by him.
He finally returned the six words, trampling Jiang Xiongying under his feet with the attitude of a strong man. He was on the throne and "granted" the prisoner status that should have belonged to Jiang Xiongying, but this still could not give him the pleasure of revenge. He had become the master, so what qualifications did Jiang Xiongying have to die in that magnificent palace? Jiang Xiongying was not even qualified to enjoy the "sacrifice of his body for charity" celestial burial ceremony, his soul should be locked in the "dungeon", firmly locked in that stinking skin bag and never reincarnated.
Not only did he want Jiang Xiongying to die, he also wanted Jiang Xiongying to die in humiliation.
Compared with his strong hatred for Jiang Xiongying, Jiang Tai simply ignored Wen.
However, Mrs. Wen knew that she would not live long, so when Mrs. Wei arrived at the "cage" directly as a judge, Mrs. Wen seemed particularly calm. She stood under the lush shade of the tree, staring at the beautiful woman whom she had personally selected and placed next to Jiang Tai as a chess piece. She even smiled and was not annoyed that Mrs. Wei now looked like a winner.
"I underestimated you. I admit defeat with all my heart." Under her long, dark eyebrows, her charming eyes looked at Madam Wei very gently. "I judged others by myself. I thought all mothers in the world were like me. For the sake of their children's safety, they would not even care about their own lives, let alone wealth and honor. I thought all your family members were harmed by the mother and daughter of the Yao family, and the only concern you had was your own child. In order to protect him, you had no choice but to be loyal to me. I was wrong. I ignored your ambition."
"Are the real murderers who killed my family only the Yao mother and daughter?"
"I just watched him die without helping him, but it's reasonable for you to hate me." Mrs. Wen took a few steps closer: "I heard that Jiang Tai was forced to declare that the identity of the Lord of Shenyuan Palace was genuine. If he wants to keep the Lord of Shenyuan Palace, he has to find another way. What other excuse can he use to delay the grand ceremony? Anyway, Jiang Tai has already forged the will of God and put the blame for the fire in the Spirit Tower on Emperor Taizun. Emperor Taizun died suddenly. Jiang Tai can delay the grand ceremony to three years later by saying that he is mourning, and he can also fool the people and make them believe that Emperor Taizun has indeed committed a crime against the will of God.
But ordinary people are easily fooled, and the nobles will never believe Jiang Tai's one-sided story, especially Ran Qiji. He is also the Xiuyao Order. The Xiuyao Order has the right to verify the cause of death of Emperor Taizun. Emperor Taizun was murdered, and this fact can definitely not be hidden from Ran Qiji. Therefore, Jiang Tai needs someone to take the blame, and that person can only be me. It was me who killed Emperor Taizun and then committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
Jiang Tai knew that such an explanation was not enough to convince Ran Qiji. He couldn't let Yao take action again and let his biological mother be charged with regicide, so he had to use your dagger. Do you really believe that Jiang Tai can protect you?"
Madam Wei chuckled and said nothing.
"You may have been moved by Jiang Tai, but he also stood by and watched when your family was executed. From that time on, you were disappointed in him. Women, sometimes don't care too much about men's unfaithfulness, but once their hearts are broken, they will not easily give half of their true feelings. You are a smart person, you will not be willing to die with me. You must have a plan to protect yourself, but I can't figure it out. What clever plan do you have to avoid being abandoned?"
Wen smiled and said, "Can you let me die with a clear mind?"
"It's very simple. I volunteered to come here today, not to be executed, but to persuade you to kill your king and your husband."
Wen raised her eyebrows, first in surprise, then nodded and said: "Let me poison the Great Emperor, but spare my life. I will convince the Ran clan and others, and no one will doubt that the Great Emperor died a violent death. Now that things have come to this, the life or death of the Great Emperor is actually insignificant. The person that the Wen clan and others are following is no longer the Great Emperor, but King Zhenyuan.
But are you sure you can convince me?"
"The Great Emperor left a will, saying that if he dies, he will let you die with him."
"So, I hate the Grand Emperor?" Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "The Grand Emperor has more than one biological son, but he is determined to make my son the crown prince. To me, he is not heartless and ungrateful. I will not hate him just because he wants me to die alive. You can't convince me to be used by you with this reason."
"At this point, does the Concubine still have to pretend that you have deep feelings for the Grand Emperor?"
"The most important person in my heart is not my husband, but my son. Of course I know that Jiang Tai can't tolerate my son, so why should I be used by my mortal enemy?"
"Because I won't let King Zhenyuan die." said Madam Wei.
Wen smiled: "But you can't influence Jiang Tai's thoughts."
"But I can kill the Prince of Zhenyuan in Dongyu immediately." Madam Wei said, "As long as I use the fool Jiang Lina to force the Lord of Shenyuan Palace to kill, Dongyu will immediately declare war on Northern Han. Will the Prince of Zhenyuan, who is held hostage, still have a chance to survive? The Queen Mother should understand my nature now, right? For the sake of power, I can even ignore the life and death of my own children. What does the safety of Northern Han mean to me?"
"When the nest is overturned, no one will be left alive, let alone power."
"Western Yu was destroyed, but I, a remnant of Western Yu, am still living well, right? I think if I can use a little trick to make Northern Han and Eastern Yu lose both, the emperor of Great Zhao should recognize my talent, right? If the concubine destroys my plan to consolidate my favor, I will have no choice but to take a big risk and look for another high-ranking official to climb up."
It took a long time before Mrs. Wen reached out to Mrs. Wei.
Madam Wei sneered and did not reach out to shake her hand, but Wen was very stubborn and forcibly grabbed her wrist: "Every wrong has its perpetrator. My son has never harmed your family. He was still young back then, and he never knew that I asked you to please Jiang Tai. Of course, he didn't know that I left Ce'er in Weiyang Palace to threaten you. After Jiang Tai seized the throne, my son was struggling to protect himself. I ordered Ce'er to be poisoned in order to put the blame on Wu. I wanted to use you to eliminate Wu and cut off Jiang Tai's arm.
The fate of the throne in the future is not something you and I can control. I really need to fight for this glimmer of hope for the King of Zhenyuan and my son. Madam Wei, when the King of Zhenyuan returns to the court, I will end my life. So I promise you that I will personally send the Grand Master to the west, and I will also persuade Ran Zhugu and others to temporarily cooperate with Jiang Tai. The King of Zhenyuan and you may not be able to make peace, but it does not necessarily mean a life-and-death struggle. If the King of Zhenyuan is restored to the throne, at least I can spare your life."
"If I still have a chance to become the ruler who is second only to one person and above ten thousand people, I will certainly not abandon the hard work of many years and take a more tortuous and unpredictable path." Madam Wei fiercely shook off Wen's finger: "But the Concubine is always shrewd, don't think of letting the Grand Emperor willingly die."
Mrs. Wen lowered her arms, and suddenly, she smiled in a trance: "What virtue do I have? The Grand Lord is not me. He would not completely disregard his life for the King of Zhenyuan. He exiled Jiang Tai, but kept the other two sons of the Yao family. Why? In the final analysis, he still has to consider his own reputation. Jiang Tai has military merits, and what he threatens is actually the power of the Grand Lord. This is the fundamental reason why he must exile Jiang Tai.
The Great Venerable Emperor is no longer a Khan of Kunlunxu. He is the founding monarch of the Han Dynasty. Passing the throne to his own son is the most primitive and natural idea, but at the same time, the Great Venerable Emperor has to earn a reputation. I know better than anyone that the person he cherishes most is himself. So I can die for my son, but the Great Venerable Emperor will not sacrifice himself for anyone or anyone. Even if I am eloquent, I cannot persuade him to die for the King of Zhenyuan. I will kill him to fight for a chance of survival for my son. To put it bluntly, in my mind, the order is my descendants. My grandson will definitely be safe. I also want to protect my son. Madam Wei, put it down. I am not a fool like Yao. I know what you want. "
Do you really know?
What I want is to shatter all of your dreams. I won't kill Jiang Mo, but he shouldn't think about the wealth and glory that he takes for granted.
People are really different.
I am such a person who harms others without benefiting myself. In your opinion, Mr. Wen, I may be even more stupid than Mr. Yao.
