Chapter 224: Destruction before construction
Yan Li raised his eyebrows.
"But I'm not afraid of him either. He asked me to enter the palace fifteen years ago, but I didn't agree." Jiang Yi looked sarcastic, "But because of Luo Shi's deliberate corruption, my reputation in the country of Mu has been damaged, and I have already done it." I have been preparing not to marry for a lifetime, until suddenly one day, the emperor asked me to go to Jin. "
Jiang Yi said, with complex colors appearing in her eyes, "We talked for a long time that night. He told me about his concerns, the situation of the Mu Kingdom, the growing power of the King of Western Xinjiang, the country, the country, and the millions of people. I think he is still qualified when it comes to being an emperor."
"He is indeed a good emperor." Yan Li nodded, "Do you blame him?"
땣Spent more than ten years supporting a controllable emperor, continuing to stabilize relationships with allies, and thereby eliminating the threats posed by a country. This 땣꺆 and courage are worthy of admiration.
But as Jiang Yi was sent to perform the mission, whether he accepted the matter happily or had complaints had nothing to do with whether he was a good emperor.
"Blame him?" Jiang Yi remained silent, "You mean he asked me to go to Jin?"
Yan Li hummed.
"Don't complain." Jiang Yi sat next to Yan Li. The two of them were like friends they hadn't seen for many years. They naturally became familiar with each other as they chatted. "I hate the Jiang family. How can I leave if I have a natural opportunity?" 땤No? Moreover, although the process was difficult and every step was dangerous, I persevered in the end.”
"If I want to get wind and rain in Jin State, and live a glorious life, the fate of so many heartless and selfish men in Jin State is in my hands. The status of women has been improved because of me. Doing these things gives me a sense of accomplishment.”
Jiang Yi said with a deep tone: "The biggest guilt is that I didn't protect you well. This is also my only dissatisfaction with the emperor."
Emperor Zhaocheng had clearly said that all he needed was for her to safely support the deposed prince in the Jin Kingdom and help him ascend the throne as emperor. Yan Li did not have to worry about her, he would definitely protect her and give her the most luxurious and wealthy life.
However, what the emperor said cannot be true.
He has many things to do every day, busy with government affairs, and has so many concubines in the harem to deal with. How can he pay attention to a child every day to see if he is happy?
Yan Li roughly understood the whole story, much more detailed than she and Mu Cang did.
"From the perspective of the overall situation of the country, you have done nothing wrong." Yan Li said calmly, "I even admire your broadmindedness and courage."
Jiang Yi raised his eyes and looked at her, feeling ashamed of these words: "Yan Li, you are completely different from what I learned before."
Yan Li smiled lightly: "Didn't I tell you before? The former Yan Li is dead."
Jiang Yi's expression changed slightly.
This woman, who was already so noble in the Jin Kingdom that no one could match her, might only occasionally show a little gaffe in front of her own daughter. Tianlai Novel Network
Yan Li never wanted to hide anything from her.
If it weren't for the fact that she was reborn as a human being, she wouldn't even mind telling Jiang Yi her identity.
But right now, it's obviously not the most appropriate time.
"Are the Jin Dynasty dignitaries very dissatisfied with you as the queen?"
"There are many people who are dissatisfied, but they can't help it." Jiang Yi sneered, "Everyone has weaknesses, and the more greedy and selfish people are, the more weaknesses they have. As long as you have seven inches of their lifeline, how about dissatisfaction?"
At this point, Jiang Yi frowned slightly: "But their ideas don't change overnight. As I get older, how many more years will I still be prestigious?"
"Over the years, ministers have been calling for the emperor to appoint a prince every day. I know better than anyone else that as long as a prince is appointed, men will still have the final say in the world of Jin."
"They may even stand behind the Queen, form cliques for personal gain, and work together to deal with me, the powerful Queen."
"When they become more powerful and have strong enough bargaining chips, they may join forces to impeach me, the queen, who is too powerful and monopolizes the government... Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
"It's conceivable." Yan Li nodded slowly, "But the essence of a queen taking power is different from a princess seizing the heirloom. If there is really a queen in the end, the Jin Kingdom will be turned upside down."
Just as Jiang Yi was about to speak, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Queen, Your Highness the Princess." Xiao Changhai's respectful voice sounded, "The Emperor asked this servant to ask, have you reached an agreement?"
"What's the rush?" Jiang Yi frowned and replied coldly, "I can't even talk to my daughter for a few more words?"
Xiao Changhai said nothing and turned around to reply.
"Let's go." Yan Li stood up, "If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later. There's no rush now."
"If you really want to do something that breaks the rules, you will have to face difficulties one after another and then find a way to solve them." Jiang Yi stood up and said, "But I will give you complete protection, so you don't have to worry about these."
Yan Li smiled: "I'm not worried."
Jiang Yi also smiled, and then sighed: "Since you have married Mu Cang, you will live in the Jiuwang Mansion for the time being. I will go back to the Jiang family to see what they owe me in those years, and what they owe you in these years. I'll get the debt back as well."
Yan Li hummed: "Since I have left the Jiang family, their family affairs have nothing to do with me from now on. You can repay them however you want. I will never intercede for them."
When Jiang Yi heard this, a smile appeared on her face: "Okay."
The two turned around and walked out.
As soon as the palace door opened, Emperor Zhaocheng and Mu Cang looked over.
"How was your conversation?" Emperor Zhaocheng spoke first, his eyes falling on Jiang Yi's face, trying to judge the outcome of the conversation from her expression, "If Yan Li is unwilling to go back, don't force her -"
"Yan Li promised to follow me back to Jin." Jiang Yi interrupted him calmly, "But not now."
Agree?
Emperor Zhaocheng's voice faltered, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Mu Cang, only to find that Mu Cang's expression did not change significantly, as if he had expected this result.
"It's getting late, so I won't disturb them." Jiang Yi walked out, "I want to go back to the Jiang family. Will the Emperor accompany me?"
Emperor Zhaocheng was silent for a moment: "Of course I am willing."
He didn't need to guess what she was doing when she returned to the Jiang family at this time, she just risked her life to accompany you.
"I heard that something happened to the Jiang family a few days ago." Jiang Yi looked at Emperor Zhaocheng, "Two nuns who taught rules died in the Jiang family. How did the emperor handle this matter?"
Emperor Zhaocheng frowned slightly: "This matter has yet to be dealt with."
"Then let's take advantage of the good atmosphere of the evening to deal with this matter." Jiang Yi said in a calm tone, "After it is dealt with, I have a big gift for the emperor."
"Big gift?"
"About the King of Xijiang."
Emperor Zhaocheng was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Okay, I promise not to disappoint you."
After saying that, he raised his hand and ordered: "Show me the Grand Tutor's Mansion!"
