After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Even a person as soft-hearted as the Lord of Shenyuan Palace did not think that Jiang Lina's crime deserved death.

Not to mention that all of Mrs. Wei's family members died because of Jiang Lina's "lust", Jiang Lina even killed hundreds of Wumei slaves on a whim. This woman regarded bloodlust as a "trait" that reflected her unparalleled dignity. The reason why she was obsessed with power was not because of her resentment towards male superiority and female inferiority. Standing up for women was just a fig leaf for Jiang Lina. If Queen Mother Yao could still bear the harm of the Qiang people's bad habits, Jiang Lina was undoubtedly the luckiest person in the world.

Her marriage was not satisfactory, but no one forced her to join the Tudong Party. She thought she was marrying down from her husband's family. But if she had not married the Tudong Party, even Queen Mother Yao would not have indulged her so much.

In fact, Jiang Lina had never suffered any humiliation since she was born - because Wen was a smart person.

But Jiang Lina felt that her status was noble, even superior to Jiang Tai. What she could not tolerate was that she was deprived of the right to inherit the throne just because she was a woman. She felt that she could do whatever she wanted and trample on everyone in the world.

Jiang Lina felt like she was dying after losing half of her front tooth.

She forgot that a year ago, she ordered the tongues of the eyebrowless slaves to be pulled out. Hearing the cries of the tortured slaves, she was surprised that people without tongues could still make sounds. So she stuffed red-hot charcoal into their throats. Watching the tortured people being tortured to death, she sneered - they can't even bear this little pain, they are all cowards.

Jiang Lina sprayed the medicine soup all over the palace maid's head and face. She covered her mouth and howled, "Mother, how could you allow those two bitches to leave like this! They should be torn into pieces! Dong Yu, a mere Han coward, bullied our Great Qiang royal family to this extent, and Hu Yanjing actually indulged them. Does he want to be a slave to a conquered country?!"

The grief-stricken Prince Kang Tai was so angry that he called out Kang Tai's old name.

Although Queen Mother Yao felt greatly humiliated, she was partial to her eldest son after all, so she tried to persuade him kindly: "No matter what, you can't blame Your Majesty..."

Jiang Lina couldn't hear what Queen Mother Yao was saying at all. Her ears were ringing with anger, but she knew that the Queen Mother was a piece of mud that couldn't be supported by a bucket. After being evaded by Jiang Tai with a few words, she was going to stop. Not only were her gums in unbearable pain, but even her throat seemed to be swollen by that damn lowly Dong Yu palace maid. Drinking medicine felt like swallowing lead. After a while of yelling, it would take a long time before she could yell again. The pain forced Jiang Lina to "listen" to the advice, but as soon as Queen Mother Yao finished speaking, Jiang Lina gathered her strength to howl like a ghost.

"I just don't believe it. If mother orders the palace guards to massacre Baoguang Palace now, will Huyan Jing dare to kill her mother after killing her father?! If mother is going to endure the humiliation this time, she should never think of interfering in state affairs again. Just wait. In the eyes of the queen, the Yao clan is not worth mentioning. Whoever is favored by Wei and Wen Jinzhu will definitely sow discord. Wen will not only live a life of luxury in the Zhenyuan Palace in the future, but she will also have the Wen clan and the Ran clan as her backing. She can interfere in state affairs, but mother, the queen mother, can only be a decoration. The civil and military officials in the court may be afraid of Concubine Wen, but they will ignore the queen mother of the Han Dynasty. Huyan Jing will never support mother!"

Of course, these words would reach Jiang Tai's ears.

Why would Mrs. Wei need to sow discord?

Jiang Tai pinched his Yin Tang acupoint and sighed while complaining to Madam Wei: "Lina kept blaming me for not standing up for her. She didn't think about it. She had already ordered the two foreign envoys to be beaten to death on the spot. How could they just sit there and wait for death? Moreover, the Left Vice Envoy acted very carefully and didn't really let the maid do the ruthless thing. In front of me, Li Na actually tried to assassinate the Left Vice Envoy. I saw her fall down with my own eyes. How could I blame the Left Vice Envoy?"

"This is the temperament of the ***. Your Majesty has actually been tolerant enough towards her." Madam Wei went around Jiang Tai's back and rubbed the man's temples with her slightly cool fingers with just the right amount of strength. "I originally thought that if there was something that Your Majesty couldn't speak up, it would be of little use for me to speak up. Besides me, the Left Deputy Envoy is really grateful to Princess Ran, but Princess Ran can't be the lobbyist anyway.

Actually, to be honest, the breakthrough may really lie in the Lord of Shenyuan Palace, but we cannot use such a forceful method. I have already instructed Hongtao and Baili to wait for an opportunity to let Lord Shenyuan know a little. After the national mourning is over, Wu Chen will determine the date of the grand ceremony, but if King Zhenyuan does not return to the capital, the Ran clan will certainly dissuade us from sending Lord Shenyuan back to Henan. Perhaps I can let Lord Shenyuan take the initiative to find me to discuss how to solve this problem. If Lord Shenyuan speaks first, I have a 50% chance of convincing her.

But now that the *** has made such a fuss, even the Lord of the Divine Yuan Palace will be on guard. "

Mrs. Wei said she had no idea what to do.

Jiang Tai became more and more annoyed by Jiang Lina's self-assertion.

Madam Wei listened to Jiang Tai's endless complaints but did not rush to fan the flames until the Empress Dowager's spies sent news again. Jiang Tai heard that his foolish mother was persuaded to summon Gao into the palace and wanted her to tell her father and brother to persuade the Emperor of Northern Zhao to issue an order directly, threatening him to kill the Prince of the Palace and the Left Deputy Envoy. At that time, Jiang Tai's anger had reached its limit.

"Although the Queen Mother resents Concubine Wen, she is not unaware that she should consider the overall situation, but there are always traitors who instigate... Speaking of all the affairs of state, has Your Majesty ever been unwilling to discuss with the Queen Mother? He will always listen to the Queen Mother's opinions first, but you can't let the Queen Mother have the final say, right? Not to mention the Queen Mother, even if it is Your Majesty's decision, if the Grand Minister and other ministers have objections, Your Majesty will not act alone."

Jiang Tai had never sincerely discussed state affairs with the Queen Mother. He only patiently went along with her because the Queen Mother was always worried and insisted on summoning him to discuss matters. When he was exiled, he only had Madam Wei as his family member. The two of them shared weal and woe, but Madam Wei had never interfered with any of his decisions. What Jiang Tai admired most was that Madam Wei would never show off.

Jiang Tai has always scoffed at the idea that women are as capable as men.

Even though he did suffer a loss when fighting with Yingshu, and thought that it was because he underestimated Yingshu and lost due to carelessness, he still had the confidence that he could turn defeat into victory and take charge of the overall situation. What's more, wasn't the last defeat all because of the Queen Mother who insisted on helping him solve his problems?

It’s not that Deputy Envoy Zuo is extremely wise, but there is always someone holding him back.

"Pre-political preparation, that's all you know about pre-political preparation. Why don't you look at Xiyu? If it wasn't for a woman controlling the government, how could there be a chaos of nine princes fighting for the throne?! Lina saw that Wang Yingshu was actually granted an official position by the Emperor of Dongyu, so she felt that as a princess of a country, it was natural for her to intervene in political affairs! But doesn't Dongyu have a princess? Would the Emperor of Dongyu allow a princess to interfere in politics?!

After all, Wang Yingshu was born into a prominent family in Dongyu. Wang Lan should have intended to send her to the palace long ago so that she would have some understanding of political affairs. Moreover, after Wang Yingshu entered the palace, she became a female historian in the imperial court so that she had insights different from ordinary women. But even so, if Dongyu had not been forced to accept our dynasty's conditions to let the Lord of Shenyuan Palace go on a diplomatic mission in order to establish diplomatic relations with our dynasty, it would have been impossible for them to appoint a woman as deputy envoy.

It’s really overestimating one’s abilities! "

The words "overestimating one's own abilities" were said by Jiang Tai himself, and Mrs. Wei was too lazy to even agree with him.

Then, something happened that made Jiang Lina even more angry.

Although Jiang Tai did not publicly accuse her, he ordered Jiang Lina not to stay in the Weiyang Palace any longer, under the pretext of giving an explanation to the foreign envoys, and to return to her own princess residence to "recuperate", and to "recuperate well", and not to go out until the medical officer had diagnosed that her "illness" was cured.

Queen Mother Yao felt as if her lungs were stabbed by this imperial decree and wanted to argue with Jiang Tai, but this time, she was persuaded by Gao.

"Your Majesty should be helpless. The Queen Mother knows that Wang Yingshu is always stirring up trouble. This time she is in the right, how can she let it go? She knows that she can't do anything to the Queen Mother, so she points the finger at you. Your Majesty has to consider the overall situation and has no choice but to let you down."

They all sounded good, but in Gao's heart, she was already certain that Jiang Tai was very ambitious.

It's really a pity that the Yao mother and daughter wanted to use the Great Zhao to get rid of the thorn in their eyes. Jiang Tai could never beat to death the Lord of Shenyuan Palace. Even Wang Yingshu, although useless to the Northern Han, but if Wang Yingshu's life was kept, the Northern Han might force Dongyu to compromise again and swallow the loss of the Lord of Shenyuan Palace.

Gao was actually unwilling to play along with Empress Dowager Yao. However, if she could use Empress Dowager Yao to eliminate both Shenyuan Palace Lord and Wang Yingshu at a critical moment, how could the Emperor of Dongyu still support the Northern Han Dynasty? He might even take the opportunity to send troops from Yizhou. With the Northern Han Dynasty facing attacks from both countries, how could it defend its borders? !

Jiang Lina's life became more miserable than ever before.

Lady Wei was also given a new mission by Jiang Tai to work hard to save the relationship between the two countries. So even though the national mourning had not yet ended, it was natural for her to enter and leave the Baoguang Hall. Even when Yang Neichen saw Lady Wei "arriving", he was so happy that he kept chanting "Amitabha" and took the initiative to tell the two foreign envoys about the situation.

"The Left Deputy Envoy is as calm as a rock, and it seems that he is not bothered by the incident two days ago. However, the Lord of Shenyuan Palace is somewhat unwell because of the shock and humiliation. Just now, the Queen sent a female official to express her condolences, but she was unable to see the Lord. It was the Left Deputy Envoy who took the initiative and accepted the Queen's kindness and left two female doctors to prepare for emergencies. However, I have seen that the Dongyu Palace maids around the Lord not only practice martial arts, but also know medicine. The delegation also brought a complete set of medicinal materials, so the two female doctors were left in Baoguang Palace for nothing and could not be used."

Yang Neichen no longer trusts anyone except Madam Wei, even the Queen.

He felt that even His Majesty the Emperor did not fully trust Empress Wu.

To be honest, it was not that Concubine Wen was incapable of stopping Empress Wu from "marrying down", but she chose to indulge her. Although the Wu clan did play a huge role in His Majesty's successful seizure of the throne, and the Wu clan and the Wen clan had never had any marriage ties, but with the Ran clan... there was a close subordinate relationship between the two clans in the past, and although with the passage of time, the "old feelings" seem to no longer exist, who knows if they will "rekindle"?

In short, the concubine that Your Majesty trusts the most now is either Empress Wu or Lady Jinzhu, or Lady Wei, who seems to have no one to rely on and who "uses her beauty to serve men."

Madam Wei said gently, "The Queen is not a prostitute. She is just fulfilling her duty as a host. She doesn't care whether the two female doctors have the opportunity to treat the prince. The Left Deputy Envoy also knows this very well. Leaving the two female doctors is equivalent to understanding the Queen's good intentions. It seems that although the incident two days ago was unpleasant, the Left Deputy Envoy has no concerns about being paranoid."

Yang Neichen nodded repeatedly, "Thanks to the Left Deputy Envoy, to be honest, Madam, I was surprised before, why the Emperor of Dongyu thought so highly of a female official, although it was because of the Lord of Shenyuan Palace as the main envoy that the Left Deputy Envoy had such an opportunity, but I also realized that even when the two princes of Dongyu were still in the capital, they would not make any decisions on their own, either they came to Baoguang Palace to discuss with the Left Deputy Envoy, or the Left Deputy Envoy went out of the palace to meet them."

When Mrs. Wei met Yingshu.

"Although I was prepared, I didn't expect that Deputy Envoy Zuo would let Jiang Lina suffer such a huge loss!"

Ying Shu smiled: "In terms of ambition, Queen Mother Yao is not as ambitious as Jiang Lina. Although Queen Mother Yao is a Qiang, she has a deep-rooted idea that a mother's status depends on her son. Therefore, what she cares about is not how others view her, but whether her son Jiang Tai obeys her orders."

"Jiang Tai was able to seize the throne not because of the Yao family."

"But Queen Mother Yao wouldn't think so. In fact, when it comes to the desire for control, women are naturally stronger than men."

"Oh?" Mrs. Wei raised her eyebrows.

"After ten months of pregnancy, a baby is born. Without a mother, there is no baby. In ancient times, people actually formed a simple concept of following nature, surviving, and living on."

Madam Wei listened with great interest: "What does it mean to survive, and what does it mean to live on?"

"To survive is to live. You can't starve to death or freeze to death. But people will die eventually. It's impossible to be immortal. And everything in the world actually 'works hard' to survive. This is about inheritance, the inheritance of offspring. A person dies, but the bloodline will continue. Men cannot get pregnant. Getting pregnant and giving birth is a capability given to women by heaven and earth.

The harmony of yin and yang conforms to the laws of nature. For example, if the human race were all men or women, the human race would become extinct and would not be able to survive. Therefore, women who have the ability to conceive and give birth to offspring were given divinity in ancient times.

"Empress Wa created the world?" Madam Wei had also read the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

"The First Mother Goddess created the world and humans. Women were originally given the highest status, but because 'surviving' later became the responsibility of men, 'living on' gradually took a back seat, because if you can't survive, you can't live on."

Mrs. Wei smiled at this statement, which she had never heard before.

"Surviving and living on are the eternal cycle, and neither can be missing. In fact, although most people may not be able to summarize this truth, they all recognize this rule of heaven. However, there are not only Queen Mother Yao and Jiang Lina, but also a group of people who have not comprehended this rule and only follow their own thoughts... They will feel that if they don't survive, there is no survival. Jiang Tai was born to Queen Mother Yao, and Queen Mother Yao felt that she should be the first ancestor goddess."

"Therefore, Yao felt that since Jiang Tai was able to survive, he must obey her."

"Yes, but Jiang Tai doesn't care about surviving now; he cares about staying alive."

"And Jiang Lina, she doesn't even know how to live." Madam Wei snorted coldly, "Because as a woman, she has the innate ability to keep people alive, and the person who lets her live is the king of a country, so whether she lets people live or not, she can become the master of the world.

Jiang Lina just returned to her mansion yesterday, but today, six bodies were carried out of her mansion!"
