After rebirth, I made the princes cry
Chapter 425 Let the hatred come more fiercely
Queen Mother Yao was furious again!
The person who was bearing her wrath at this time was Yao Hong, her younger brother, who was also one of Jiang Tai's confidants and was very willing to offer advice. However, the Yao clan had long been in decline. In fact, before the establishment of the Northern Han Dynasty, they had already shown signs of being unable to control their subordinates. Coupled with Jiang Xiongying's continued suppression of the Yao clan, although Yao Hong was able to gain Jiang Tai's trust, his help to Jiang Tai was extremely weak. For example, when Jiang Tai decided to kill his father, his only suggestion was to take the opportunity to pin the crime of regicide on Wen, killing two birds with one stone.
Queen Mother Yao had been looking forward to the death knell, and Wen's death without a burial place. She even thought that she could use this incident to eradicate the entire Wen clan. What a good opportunity! Jiang Xiongying disobeyed the will of God. Because he favored Wen, a lowly maid, and reused the Wen clan, he angered Kunlun God. The fire in the Spirit Tower indicated that Jiang Xiongying would not have a good end. As expected, he was poisoned by Wen. Jiang Xiongying and the Wen clan were both defeated, which was the will of Kunlun God.
Although Yao Hong, the Left Situ, had been forced to kneel on the ground by the empress dowager's anger, his embarrassment could not extinguish the empress dowager's arrogance in the slightest. Another glass vessel was shattered into pieces. Yao Hong dared not raise his face at all. Just now, he was not careful and his cheek was cut by a piece of porcelain. His face was really injured. In order to avoid being hurt too badly, it was safer to crawl on the ground.
"What did I tell you that day? How did you guarantee me? For so many years, I have been holding this anger for more than thirty years! I was trampled under the feet of that bitch Wen, and I endured it, just to let Jiang Xiongying spare your majesty's life. I waited for thirty years until your majesty had the strength to avenge my blood feud!
But what about now? Not only did he not cut the bitch Wen into pieces, he even tolerated her living in the Zhenyuan Palace as a concubine, allowing her to live a life of luxury! ! ! You still stopped me from arguing with him. You are really his good subject. You two uncle and nephew, you teamed up to fool me. Good, good, you are really good! "
Yao Hong almost pressed his entire face to the ground. He knew that even if he did not stop her, Queen Mother Yao would definitely not be able to go to Shang'en Hall today. However, the task assigned to him by His Majesty was certainly not to allow Queen Mother Yao to go to Shang'en Hall for funeral and bring humiliation upon herself.
He had no choice but to continue reasoning with the Queen Mother: "I did submit my advice as instructed by the Queen Mother, but Your Majesty has to consider... The Grand Emperor died a violent death, which could not be hidden from the eyes of Ran Guzhu and his son. How could the Ran clan watch the birth mother of the King of Zhenyuan bear the crime of murdering the Grand Emperor?
Only the Wen family can persuade the Ran family to let it go, which will be beneficial to Your Majesty's overall situation of keeping the Lord of Shenyuan Palace in our dynasty. Your Majesty was forced to openly acknowledge the identity of the Lord of Shenyuan Palace, which must have aroused the fear of Northern Zhao. Now you can't turn against Dongyu, but Your Majesty must use the banner of the Lord of Shenyuan Palace to realize his ambition of unifying the world.
In the current situation, of course, we still have to appease the Ran clan and the Wen clan. This time, it was thanks to Madam Wei that she persuaded the Wen clan to cooperate with your majesty’s plan…”
“Wei!” Queen Mother Yao grasped the key point from the general principle of having no choice. She looked around angrily, but could not find any vessel to smash to vent her anger. She clenched her fist and smashed it hard on the empty flower table: “Wen is still alive, but she still remembers Wei’s feelings. What is Wei doing for? Although her son is dead, she can still have another son in the future! With the support of the Wen and Ran clans, she has a backing, this bitch!”
No matter how angry Queen Mother Yao was, she knew that she could not make Jiang Tai's crime of patricide public. Jiang Tai was hiding in Shang'en Hall to attend the funeral of Jiang Xiongying. She could do nothing with this son. But as for Wei, even if she was beaten to death today, it would depend on whether Jiang Tai dared to kill his mother after killing his father!
"Go, go, bring the bitch Wei to my Guangyang Palace!"
Jiang Tai hid in Shang'en Hall himself - in fact, this is not a legal place for kings to hold funerals. He deliberately decided to hold funerals for Jiang Xiongying here - Shang'en was the grace that he, the stepson, bestowed on his stepfather. Jiang Xiongying was not worthy of enjoying the national funeral of the Qiang. It was only because he, the stepson, did not forget his kindness and bestowed the honor on Jiang Xiongying. In this way, Jiang Xiongying could not expect to enjoy the "sky burial". Although burial is respected by the Han people, the soul is forever trapped in the mausoleum. For the Qiang people, it is like being thrown into the eighteen levels of hell and unable to reincarnate forever.
However, Jiang Tai also anticipated that his biological mother would be furious and would most likely vent her anger on Madam Wei, so he left a group of palace guards in the palace where Madam Wei lived.
Mrs. Wei has refused the Queen Mother's summons several times.
Hong Tao and Bai Li, who had already returned to Madam Wei, could not help but feel worried: "I'm afraid the Queen Mother will not let this go."
"The Queen Mother can't summon me, so she will come in person. If she wants to come, the palace guards cannot stop her outside the door. But if she wants to beat me to death, the palace guards will certainly stop her. If something like this happens, Wen Jinzhu will definitely come to watch the fun again. Don't worry, the Queen Mother will be cautious." Madam Wei had already changed into mourning clothes. She suddenly smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is so angry that she probably doesn't care about changing into mourning clothes. Although the palace guards are loyal to Your Majesty, they are not the minions of the Yao family. The Queen Mother is so unruly, arrogant and violent... Others dare not question it, but Lady Gao is angry that Queen Mother Yao caused the Northern Zhao's spy agency to be wiped out because of Jiang Lina. There will be censors who impeach Queen Mother Yao. Even if I suffer a little, it's worth it."
He broke through again and asked to see Yingshu.
Madam Wei quickly asked someone to invite Yingshu in.
Of course, Yingshu still had to go. In front of many palace servants, she expressed regret for the death of the Grand Emperor and was very confused: "The incident happened too suddenly. During the Heavenly Wine Festival, the Grand Emperor was present to offer wine. Although he was a little sick, he didn't look seriously ill. How could it be..."
"Who said it wasn't?" Madam Wei sighed, "A few days ago, Your Majesty heard that the illness of the Grand Master seemed to be getting worse, and he specifically asked me to go and visit him. Today, when I heard the bad news, some ministers questioned him. Your Majesty didn't know the truth, so he ordered the palace guards to confine me. He just issued another decree earlier, which should be that Your Majesty has ruled out my suspicion and asked the palace guards not to offend me. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the palace guards would stop the envoy from seeing me."
Yingshu understood what was going on. Of course, she knew that Madam Wei deliberately said that Jiang Tai sent Wei to protect her, but instead put her under house arrest.
After a few words, I was surprised to hear that the Queen Mother was coming.
Madam Wei pretended to be panicked: "Excuse me, Your Excellency, I have to leave you for now. The Queen Mother is here, and I have to greet you in person."
Of course Yingshu had to go out and watch. She came here today just to watch.
Although Sikong Yuehu had never met Jiang Tai and Queen Mother Yao, he could predict everything. Ying Shu certainly did not come to watch to protect Madam Wei, nor did she have the ability to do so. She just wanted to draw hatred towards herself. As long as Concubine Wen was alive, Queen Mother Yao's heart and lungs were like being pierced by a red-hot iron rod. After such a "great humiliation", how could she withstand any ridicule?
Yingshu was surprised to find that Empress Dowager Yao's team was so colorful. Considering the mourning at the Weiyang Palace, this team was really too gorgeous.
For the time being, Empress Dowager Yao only had Madam Wei in her eyes, and did not notice the Left Deputy Envoy who fell behind. She certainly did not have the power to mobilize the palace guards, so she only brought about twenty palace maids and seven or eight eunuchs. However, it was still a large group of people. Empress Dowager Yao was naturally wearing a wide Hu robe with gold sleeves and a collar, rouge all over her cheekbones, a high bun with a phoenix crown, and even the seven or eight eunuchs were wearing printed robes.
Even though Jiang Xiongying was a prisoner before his death, the funeral was held according to the national mourning rites. As the widow, Queen Mother Yao should have been the first to change into mourning clothes. However, even her followers had no intention of mourning at all... Yingshu deeply felt that she might only witness such an unusual thing once in her life.
"Wei, why don't you kneel down and accept death?!" the Queen Mother roared.
Madam Wei knelt down obediently.
"Beat this bitch to death on the spot!" Queen Mother Yao continued to show her power.
Two eunuchs holding sticks rushed forward, but were immediately stopped by the palace guards.
"How dare you disobey my order?!"
Among the palace guards, the leader stepped forward and responded with a long speech.
Under the guidance of Hongtao and Baili, Yingshu has been able to understand some brief Qiang dialects during this period. She understood what Queen Mother Yao said just now, but the team leader's response was too complicated and she could not understand it all. She only understood the meaning of "Your Majesty has ordered" and "The Queen Mother is irritable". Then, she saw Queen Mother Yao's angry eyes piercing her. Yingshu guessed that the team leader must have reminded Queen Mother Yao that she, an envoy from Dongyu, was also present.
Yingshu just stepped forward and saluted.
With a confused face and excited eyes, "I am worried because I heard that the Northern Han Emperor passed away. I know that the King and Queen are unlikely to receive foreign ministers at this time. Thinking of the fact that the King had asked Madam Wei to assist in the peace talks, I came to ask about the details of the etiquette and taboos. What is the Queen Mother doing... I am worried. Is she blaming Madam Wei for receiving foreign ministers?"
Without waiting for the Queen Mother to respond, Madam Wei hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, Your Excellency. The Queen Mother summoned me before, but I was ordered by His Majesty not to leave here before His Majesty summoned me, so I had no choice but to disobey the Queen Mother's order."
"So that's how it is." Ying Shu took two steps forward. "The Grand Master passed away, and the Queen Mother was in grief. She summoned Madam Wei to ask about the matter, but Madam Wei did not dare to go because of the imperial decree. The Queen Mother therefore misunderstood that Madam Wei had disobeyed the imperial decree, and became furious. However, the misunderstanding has been resolved, and the Queen Mother should still follow the national mourning ceremony first."
She shouldn't have said this, but since she said it, she was not afraid of being questioned by Queen Mother Yao.
Yingshu even guessed how Queen Mother Yao would scold her.
"How dare you, a foreign envoy, interfere in the internal affairs of our dynasty?"
Ying Shu frowned instead: "Ever since the foreign ministers arrived at the court of Northern Han, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have repeatedly made remarks and actions that are not in accordance with the etiquette of diplomatic relations. The King of Northern Han even asked the foreign ministers to say that there are many deficiencies in the etiquette of Northern Han. If the foreign ministers have good advice, they can do so... The Queen Mother is in a high position, and Madam Wei is in a low position. It is natural for Madam Wei to respect the Queen Mother, but Madam Wei is innocent, so how can the Queen Mother punish her privately? Moreover, these palace guards present here are following the order of the King of Northern Han and are following the order to stop it. The foreign ministers have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of Northern Han, but are only giving the Queen Mother good advice. First of all, the Queen Mother should observe the ceremony of national mourning. Secondly, Madam Wei is innocent, so the Queen Mother should not punish her, violate the king's order, and embarrass the palace guards."
"Wei is suspected of poisoning the Grand Master. I want to hold her accountable. You, an outsider, are backing Wei up. Isn't this considered interfering in internal affairs?!"
"Empress Dowager, this matter has been decided by His Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will listen to His Majesty's order!" When the team leader heard that the Empress Dowager was targeting the Left Deputy Envoy, cold sweat almost dripped from his forehead. He quickly responded in Chinese: "I beg Your Majesty to obey His Majesty's order!"
Ying Shu sighed, "Empress Dowager, please accept my condolences. Although the Grand Master's death was a sudden event, since the King of Northern Han has declared a national mourning, the Empress Dowager should indeed order everyone, from top to bottom, to change into mourning clothes and follow the national mourning ceremony."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a man, who arrived late.
Madam Jinzhu was actually kept in the dark. She had called Taizun "uncle" since she was a child and was indeed loved by her uncle. She could not accept the fact that her aunt poisoned her uncle, so her elders naturally kept it from her. Madam Jinzhu was probably the only person in the entire Weiyang Palace who was truly sad about Taizun's death. She rushed to watch the excitement, actually to confirm whether Taizun's death was related to Madam Wei.
But when she saw Queen Mother Yao and her entourage, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, she, being so naive, immediately sided with Madam Wei.
She had just heard from her mother that her uncle died of illness and it was the will of the God Kunlun to let her uncle's soul enter reincarnation.
"Deputy Envoy Zuo is right. The Queen Mother should change into mourning clothes!"
In the eyes of Empress Dowager Yao, Madam Jinzhu was just Wen's niece, not her daughter-in-law at all.
His lungs were poked again, and he actually took action himself, slapping Madam Jinzhu hard in the face with lightning speed, as she was too sad to dodge due to the death of the emperor.
When had Madam Jinzhu ever been wronged like this? She subconsciously wanted to fight back, but the maid beside her quickly grabbed her arm. Worried that the Queen Mother would continue to show off her power, she dragged Madam Jinzhu back a step and hid behind another maid. Yingshu seized the opportunity and stepped forward to persuade Madam Jinzhu in a loud voice.
"Although Madam was blamed for no reason, the Queen Mother is your elder after all. Madam must not offend her, otherwise she will be guilty of disobedience and unfilial piety. Madam was unable to dissuade the Queen Mother from disobeying the order of the emperor, and should quickly report to His Majesty of Northern Han, telling him that His Majesty has already announced that the Grand Master died of an illness, but the Queen Mother wants to blame Madam Wei, concluding that the Grand Master's death was Madam Wei's design. Wouldn't this also make Your Majesty bear the crime of shielding Madam Wei's regicide? Madam tried to dissuade the Queen Mother in order to prevent Your Majesty from being slandered, but was slapped instead. Of course, Madam has no intention of stirring up trouble and forcing Your Majesty to punish the Queen Mother, but she should also explain the truth. Now only if Your Majesty personally persuades her can the Queen Mother mourn less and not become hysterical due to excessive grief, causing rumors to spread in Weiyang Palace."
The palace maid looked at Yingshu deeply, and whispered something to Madam Jinzhu, who then loosened her clenched fists, took a step back, turned around and left.
Queen Mother Yao saw that the leader of the palace guards in front of her was already extremely impatient and tense, as if she would not let her touch Wei's hair. If she stayed here and waited for Jiang Tai to arrive, with Wang Yingshu as an envoy present, could she still question Jiang Tai why he did not keep his promise and took the opportunity to get rid of Wen? Jiang Tai was willing to spare Wen's life, so how could he allow her to execute Wei?
There is still a long time to come. She doesn't believe that if she can't even deal with the Wei family, how can she be called the Queen Mother of the Han Dynasty? All these years of enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens have become a complete joke!
Even Wang Yingshu, unless she follows the two princes of Dongyu back to Dongyu first, as long as she dares to stay in Weiyang Palace, in her territory, she swears to kill this lowly Han woman as soon as possible!
