After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chapter 444 See if you are afraid

Jiang Lina is a ruthless person.

At first, her father Jiang Xiongying had some love for her, but she had repeatedly wanted to kill her biological father. In her mind, Queen Mother Yao did have to die. Even if she couldn't be angered to death, in order to force Jiang Yan to compromise, she could try to stop drinking and eating if verbal death threats were ineffective.

Queen Wu was still quite worried that Empress Dowager Yao would be "taken care of to death" by Jiang Lina.

After all, she was the queen of a country, and she was directly responsible for the queen mother's well-being. Now everyone pushed all the problems onto her. If the queen mother really starved to death, how could she explain to Jiang Tai? Not to mention that she now had two powerful enemies, Madam Wei and Madam Jinzhu. The former was already favored, and the latter was trying to replace her.

Queen Wu thought it over again and again... No, she couldn't bear the blame alone.

So, he went to discuss the matter with Mrs. Wei.

"The Queen Mother has a traitor who instigated her, and she has even pushed the issue to Wu Chen. I reprimanded the traitor first, and then tried to persuade the Queen Mother several times. I didn't expect that she would threaten me by refusing to drink or eat. Then there is my third brother, who is used to obeying the Queen Mother's orders. Although there is no transfer order issued by the Grand Commandant, there is no need to worry that he will mobilize the guards of the capital to force the palace. But my third brother also has his own soldiers. I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not be able to threaten Wu Chen, and my third brother will listen to the traitor's instigation out of anxiety and let his soldiers spread rumors. At this critical moment, there must be no turmoil in the capital."

"Why not just put *** under house arrest again?" Mrs. Wei suggested.

"With the Queen Mother protecting me, I don't have that much ability. I'm mainly afraid that if something happens to the Queen Mother, my third brother will misunderstand that I have bad intentions and ignore them, making the situation even more unsolvable."

Madam Wei pondered for a while, then pretended to have suddenly realized something: "Then I will report it to Your Majesty in secret, and Your Majesty should simply order the transfer of the Dongyu envoys out of Shangjing and temporarily place them in the palace in Lantian."

"Should we ask the envoys to move out of the capital?" A mark of the Chinese character "川" appeared between Queen Wu's eyebrows.

Madam Wei said, "The envoy of Dayu is in the capital, and the ones who are forced are the Queen and Prince Zhenhuang. But if they go to the Lantian Palace, the Queen Mother can't force Prince Zhenhuang to fight to the death with the Grand Minister. Without the Queen Mother's instigation, the Queen Mother will naturally not linger on her sickbed. And the Queen Mother, no matter how cruel and ruthless she is, she will not ignore the safety of the Grand Minister."

Lantian is actually only a hundred miles away from Chang'an and is still some distance away from Wuguan. However, at this time, outside the city of Chang'an, the Lantian area is already under the protection of Wuguan. If Jiang Tai is willing to let Yu Shi move to the Lantian Palace, Yu Shi's safety is indeed the responsibility of Da Shangchen. Even if Jiang Lina is still unwilling to give in, it is completely unnecessary to instigate the Queen Mother. She has to persuade Jiang Gaofan.

Queen Wu can get rid of this hot potato.

When Jiang Tai received Madam Wei's secret report, he couldn't believe his eyes. He really didn't expect that the first wave of attacks on Tongguan had not ended yet. At the critical moment of the survival of the monarchy and the country, there was no rebellion in Chang'an City behind him, but his mother and sister could cause such a big disturbance! He immediately wrote down the decree and threw it to his second brother Jiang Cang: "Looking at the situation of the war, Bei Zhao is still mainly testing, and it is not the right time to launch the first general attack. You return to the capital quickly to confirm whether the secret report is true. If it is true, pass on my decree and let Wu Ziwei dispatch two teams of palace guards to escort the Dongyu delegation to the Lantian Palace, and Madam Wei will go with them! You inform Madam Wei and let her go to the Lantian Palace, and then send your confidant to inform Da Shangchen.

This is a secret order. You don't need to tell anyone who doesn't care. The envoys from Dongyu have moved to the Lantian Palace. You can just tell my mother that I have decided to send the envoys back to Dongyu. Dongyu promised that as long as the prince returns to Yu, Jiang Mo's head will be chopped off and Ran Zhugu will be killed."

"Brother, are you trying to deceive mother?"

"What else can I do? Can I issue an edict to the Queen and not worry about my mother's life or death?!" Jiang Tai was also extremely agitated: "Madam Wei's brain is quick. She thought that as long as the Yu envoy is transferred to Lantian first, Jiang Lina will definitely be cautious. But don't forget, there is also Gao! I don't even know what kind of sieve the Weiyang Palace is now. I have just left the palace for a few days, and I have made such a big joke!

Second brother, do you dare to believe it? My mother has always known why I lied about negotiating peace with Dongyu and lured the Lord of Shenyuan Palace to come, but what? My mother completely ignored my composition. What did she do one by one! At this time, if she really wanted to threaten Wu Chen and force the Lord of Shenyuan Palace to kill, causing Dongyu to send troops and attack our dynasty with Beizhao...

I lied to her because it was my filial duty. Second brother, I only regret that I wasn't ruthless enough!"

Jiang Cang's heart was greatly shocked.

Tongguan is not far from Chang'an. Jiang Cang rode at full speed and arrived there in two hours. The first person he met was Wu Chen, and then he met Jiang Yan.

When Jiang Yan saw his brother, he felt relieved. He hugged his brother's neck and almost burst into tears. "I really don't know if it's okay. Mother asked me to believe in Xianshu, but my sister now says that Xianshu is not worthy of trust. My sister said Wu Chen is trustworthy, and then she said that Wu Chen is a wicked person. Mother hasn't eaten for two days, but the emperor's sister-in-law... No, it's Wu! She doesn't care about mother's life or death. Jiang Baiji is also an ungrateful person..."

Jiang Cang's eyes were turning black.

Wu and Wei did not lie. It was indeed the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager who caused chaos in the capital with the power of two women. It was only because the Empress Dowager could not do whatever she wanted and could not directly kill the daughter of the Wang family! ! ! Absurd, ridiculous, funny! ! ! The daughter of the Wang family was the Left Vice Envoy appointed by the Emperor of Dongyu and an envoy with a seal. How could she be compared with Wumei Nu and allowed to be beaten, killed and humiliated by the Qiang and Han people? !

However, the two troublemakers cannot be killed at once. Unless the emperor returns to the capital in person to deter them, we cannot count on Empress Wu, Duke Jincheng and others to "rebel against their superiors." Even my younger brother Jiang Yan cannot be counted on, as he has never had a clear mind and is very foolishly filial.

Now my brother cannot be distracted by such trivial matters. The only way is to transfer the Dongyu delegation away from the capital and deceive my mother and younger sister into thinking that they are already satisfied, so that they will not make endless troubles and hinder us.

Jiang Cang finally went to visit Queen Mother Yao, who was said to be dying.

This time, Queen Mother Yao was determined to fight for her basic rights as the queen mother of a country. Although she did feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, swollen and painful lung ducts, and her old illness of bloody sputum was triggered, she refused to accept the medical officer's diagnosis and treatment. Especially after Queen Wu came to persuade her twice with both soft and hard methods, the Queen Mother knew that her plan of using Wu Chen to spread the "divine will" to put pressure on Jiang Baiji would be difficult to achieve. She completely accepted Jiang Lina's suggestion and decided to really implement the self-torture plan.

The old palace maid pretended to persuade her, but Queen Mother Yao lay on her back on the bed with her swollen eyes, showing her determination to die: "After all, I am the Queen Mother of a country. If Wu really dares to watch me die of illness and starvation, unless she is so arrogant that she kills Lina, you, and Yan'er all at once, as long as there is one person left alive, she will never be able to escape the crime of matricide!

I just want to see if she is willing to sacrifice her own life and the lives of the Wu clan to bury me in order to protect the Xuan and Wang clans!"

Queen Mother Yao had only fasted for two meals, and was holding on by force, so she had not yet felt hungry. Therefore, when she heard that her other son Jiang Cang had returned, she sat up on her own without Jiang Lina's help.

Jiang Yan was taken directly into the inner bedroom. He almost didn't recognize that the person with disheveled hair, sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a dark face and red eyes was his own mother. He was startled and then he heard Jiang Lina howling like a ghost. He resisted the urge to scold her, but his tone was not gentle enough.

"I have to hurry back to Tongguan, so I really don't have time to comfort my sister! Mother, my brother has already ordered me to take the East Yu envoy to Tongguan to kill them, and behead them both on the gate. But mother, you must not listen to those with ulterior motives to alienate us. Mother, you will soon understand that even if my brother obeys your wishes and kills the Yu envoy, Northern Zhao will never withdraw its troops. At this time of national crisis, please consider the overall situation."

After hearing this, Queen Mother Yao's expression finally became less ferocious.

Jiang Lina was delighted at first, but then she immediately felt that the way Xuan and Wang died was not tragic enough, and she couldn't get rid of the anger in her heart: "Just beheading them? No! I want to see these two bitches being cut into pieces and torn apart by five horses with my own eyes!"

Queen Mother Yao was also very unwilling to accept this: "If I hadn't been sick, I could have let them have their fun. I can't have suffered so much humiliation in the past few days in vain!"

With the support of the Queen Mother, Jiang Lina became more and more aggressive. "How can just punishing Xuan and Wang satisfy my mother and me? My second brother should also execute Wu and Wu Ziwei. The palace guards should have been under my mother's control. As long as the palace guards are in my mother's hands, my brothers don't have to worry about it. How to execute Xuan and Wang can be left to my mother. When my mother and I are satisfied, we will send the heads of these two bitches to Tongguan for my brother to behead."

Jiang Cang didn't wait for Queen Mother Yao to agree, nor did he have to endure the anger in his heart any longer: "Nonsense!"

When he shouted the second word, he certainly did not forget to turn around and pointed his face at Jiang Lina: "Wu's subordinates are now fighting for the country in Tongguan. How dare you say that executing the queen will make you feel better?! Do you have to watch the army mutiny, the enemy army attack Shangjing, and kill us all before you feel satisfied?!

The Queen Mother threatened to commit suicide, so my brother had no choice but to compromise on filial piety. If he killed the envoy of Dongyu on the battlefield, he could still say that he was forced by Northern Zhao. Although Dongyu would never be able to establish diplomatic relations with our dynasty again, it would not unite with Northern Zhao at this time, which would make the situation worse.

If you really want to win the respect of your subjects, participate in government affairs in the future, and help your brother solve his problems, you must not embarrass him at this time. "

"Is the war situation really so critical?" Queen Mother Yao couldn't help but hesitate.

"Not optimistic!"

In fact, the troops of the two countries have not yet officially clashed. King Sanchuan is cunning. He knows that Tongguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This war cannot be decided quickly. It is a protracted war. Currently, they are still testing and harassing. However, in order to quickly resolve the troubles caused by the Queen Mother, Jiang Cang must exaggerate the situation.

"The reason why we are not optimistic is because you men are incompetent. You can't just let us endure the humiliation forever..." Jiang Lina was still unwilling to accept it.

"So, little sister, do you want to come out and fight?!" Jiang Cang had lost his patience and shut Jiang Lina up with just one sentence.

He took a deep breath and said, "My brother is concerned about the queen's body, so he had to compromise. If the queen had listened to my foolish words, my brother would know that he could not protect the country and would die in battle. As a king of a fallen country, how could he care about the accusation of rebellion and unfilial piety? The world would laugh at us, the Qiang and Han royal family, who are so stupid that they would sacrifice their country and die together with the two women of Dongyu."

After Jiang Cang finished speaking, he glared at Jiang Lina again and said, "Come out with me, little sister. Don't disturb the doctor from diagnosing the queen mother here."

Jiang Lina shook Empress Dowager Yao's arm in grievance.

Queen Mother Yao sighed, "I don't blame your second brother for saying this. Although Dongyu is weak, Beizhao is too strong. If Dongyu is determined to join forces with Beizhao at this time, it will be harmful to us. Well, as long as the heads of Xuan and Wang are shattered, what if we endure the humiliation for a while? We have saved the overall situation this time. Will we still worry about your royal brother leaning towards Wu in the future?

I have already thought about it. After the war, I will propose to help you and Da Shangchen first. Since your brother values ​​Da Shangchen, I will suggest that Da Shangchen teach Wu's son. Your Majesty will definitely be pleased. Then wait for my colleague to hand Wu's son over to you for control. If you let them separate, there will be plenty of opportunities to put Wu to death. "

"Wang Yingshu is not in my hands after all!"

"In the future, when Dongyu Kingdom is destroyed, not only Wang Yingshu, but also her family members and even Sikong Nanci can be handed over to you for punishment. I heard that Wang Yingshu's parents only have one daughter, so Wang Yingshu was indulged to be so lawless and arrogant. At that time, her parents will fall into your hands and end up in a situation where they can neither live nor die. Only when they regret it can they feel relieved."

Jiang Lina thought about it: I heard that Wang Yingshu's biological mother, Lu, couldn't even give birth to a son, and she was not divorced and sent back to her parents' home. Even Wang Yingshu's biological father refused to take a concubine, so that the women in Dongyu praised Lu for her good fortune. How could she deserve such a blessing? Wang Yingshu died here, and Lu hated me to the core? But she herself would fall into my hands sooner or later. Doesn't Wang Yingshu sympathize with those eyebrowless slaves? I will make her biological mother a eyebrowless slave, and I will force Lu's husband to skin Lu with his own hands and drink Lu's blood to live a miserable life. Let's see who will envy Lu's good fortune at that time.

Relying on such daydreams, Jiang Lina finally allowed Yingshu to die happily.

Then he went out to say goodbye to Jiang Cang.

Jiang Lina was not even afraid of Jiang Tai. She thought that Jiang Cang was able to "survive" until now and was grateful for her protection in the past. Although she was scolded just now, she was not afraid at all. She was about to scold back, but Jiang Cang did not give her any chance.

"It's fine if you just take good care of me, but I warn you, if you dare to instigate our mother again, as soon as I hear the news and am forced to go back to the capital, I will personally capture you and send you to Dongyu. It's only natural that my brother wants you to marry into the imperial court in order to appease Dongyu. You should know that no one in Dongyu wants you to marry into the imperial court!"

Jiang Lina was so angry that she was stunned.

Jiang Cang took out the dagger he carried with him, showed the blade, and slashed his forearm. Immediately, his white robe was stained with blood.

"I can do what I say, so take care of yourself, little sister."

This is a unique "ritual" performed by the Qiang people when they decide to "kill their own relatives for the greater good". They swear an oath to the God of Kunlun with their own blood!

Jiang Lina felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet and screamed in fright.
