Chapter 385 Let’s do as you say
Ji Yunshu wasn't sure whether the emperor really wanted to ask for her opinion or had other motives, so she smiled and said, "I think what the Empress and the Prince said makes sense."
It doesn't really matter what she says anyway.
No matter what, the emperor has to make the final decision himself.
Emperor Jingming seemed to think she was being perfunctory and said dissatisfiedly, "You are so impartial."
Ji Yunshu felt that the emperor was deliberately making things difficult for her. In this situation, who should she side with?
Deep down, she naturally hoped that there would be no more wars in the future and that the two countries would interact peacefully and amicably, but who knew how trustworthy Wujina could be?
Although the method Zhao Shen suggested could not cure the root cause, it could prevent Mobei from having the strength to oppose Daxia in a short period of time.
Suddenly, an idea struck her: "Perhaps, we should prepare for both scenarios. On the one hand, we should support Princess Wujina to ascend the throne. On the other hand, we can use this as an excuse to stir up a struggle for the throne in Mobei, thereby weakening Mobei's strength."
Once Mobei's strength is exhausted due to internal strife, even if Wujina wins in the end, she will no longer have the confidence to confront Daxia.
It will be up to them to decide how the transaction will be conducted.
Emperor Jingming was stunned for a moment before he said, "That sounds like a sentence."
Ji Yunshu was puzzled: "Was what I said unreasonable?"
Who is she working so hard for?
Although everything she did was to survive and live a better life, because of her natural blood relationship and position, she was also very open-hearted to Emperor Jingming.
If it weren't for her, his throne would be shaky now.
Of course, these words can never be said.
Emperor Jingming smiled and said, "I didn't tell you to say anything more, but you didn't even give me a definite answer. So I'll do as you say. I think Princess Wujina is a straightforward person. You can talk to her about the next matter."
Ji Yunshu, who was suddenly entrusted with an important task, said: "..."
She couldn't help but remind him, "Your Majesty, this is a matter of state."
How can you be so careless?
And this is not something she should interfere in.
Emperor Jingming said, "You have heard what Princess Wujina said. This matter needs to be kept secret. It is not convenient for her to come to me or the Queen. Mingcheng is a man, so it is not convenient either. You are the only one who knows about this matter."
Ji Yunshu looked at Emperor Jingming in shock. "Are you kidding me? Don't you need to discuss this with the court officials?"
Emperor Jingming snorted coldly, "Those people in the court can argue for half a month over a trivial matter. If this matter is left in the court, it will take at least three to five months for there to be any results. Moreover, people in the court are not necessarily trustworthy. Not only does Wujina need to keep it secret, I also don't want anyone else to know."
Ji Yunshu knew that he was worried that there were people like Prince Yong among the court officials who might leak the news.
But I still feel that it is a bit of a joke to entrust such a big thing to myself.
"This... I... I'm afraid I can't handle such a big responsibility."
After all, it involved the relationship between the two countries, and Ji Yunshu suddenly felt a bit stressed.
Apart from anything else, Wujina is not an easy person to deal with.
Emperor Jingming smiled and said, "You don't need to do anything, just pass on some information. Wujina has been on good terms with you recently. With this relationship as a cover, your interactions will not attract attention."
Ji Yunshu knew that what the emperor said made sense, and for the sake of her father and brother, she couldn't ignore the affairs of Mobei.
I had no choice but to go see Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen knew the emperor's intention and nodded at her.
Ji Yunshu agreed: "Then what should I do?"
She had never done anything like this before.
Emperor Jingming said, "You don't need to do anything for now. Just accompany her to eat, drink and have fun. This will also let the people watching you relax their vigilance. If you do this, she will definitely not be able to enter the palace. You can ask her what she thinks later."
Ji Yunshu knew that Wujina had no intention of entering the palace, and her actions last night were just to delay time and confuse the enemy.
I don’t know what the two princes of Mobei will do next?
Should I continue to linger in Daxia, or leave decisively?
The third prince is still okay, but they still don’t know the real purpose of the fifth prince’s visit.
Ji Yunshu took her leave from the emperor, her mind full of recent events, and she didn't even notice that Zhao Shen had come out with her.
When Shuntui was about to walk back to where he used to live, he heard Zhao Shen laugh and say, "The yard where we lived was burned down, so we moved to a new place. It's not in this direction."
Ji Yunshu finally came back to his senses: "Why did you come out too? The emperor is fine now."
Zhao Shen said: "That's all there is to it now. No matter what, Mobei's affairs always come first."
Ji Yunshu understood: "The emperor entrusted the matter to me, in fact, it was because of you."
After all, she and Zhao Shen are husband and wife. Even if she is unreliable, Zhao Shen is there to keep an eye on things, so normally nothing will go wrong.
"Not really. Whether it's the Suzhou incident or the trip to Southern Xinjiang, you've done a great job. The Emperor is very optimistic about you now."
In fact, Zhao Shen was a little surprised that the emperor would entrust such an important matter to Ji Yunshu, but he understood it after thinking about it. Mobei is closely related to the Ji family, and Ji Yunshu is indeed the most suitable person to handle this matter.
Ji Yunshu didn't believe that the emperor simply valued her. There were thousands of women in this world, and many of them were capable. She didn't think she was the best among them.
The reason why she was valued so highly was because her surname was Ji and she married Zhao Shen.
She couldn't help but complain: "Why didn't I realize before that the emperor is so unconventional in employing people."
Although she said this, her favorability towards Emperor Jingming was growing. She could feel that he did not have the discrimination against women that men in this world had.
Whether it was agreeing to let her go to Suzhou to rescue people, or turning a blind eye to her many outrageous words and deeds later, it shows that he did not mind women expressing their opinions on political affairs.
This can also be seen in the Queen. Today, the Queen suddenly expressed her opinion, and Emperor Jingming also agreed with it.
These two people must have discussed court affairs in private many times.
Perhaps he didn't let anyone know in order to avoid being scolded by the queen.
After figuring this out, Ji Yunshu suddenly felt much more open-minded.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Emperor Jingming is really a good emperor.
Zhao Shen, upon hearing her words, suddenly thought of something and laughed, "When the Emperor was still young, he once asked me, 'What is there in this world that men can do that women can't?' People are foolish, confining women to the boudoir, wasting their talent."
Ji Yunshu had never thought that Emperor Jingming would actually make such a statement in support of women's rights. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked, "Then why didn't he..."
She swallowed her words back halfway through. People's ideas cannot be changed easily, not even the emperor can do it.
Seeing that she understood, Zhao Shen nodded and said, "The emperor may not be able to fulfill your expectations, but it is true that he wants to use you."
Firstly, her identity is very useful, and secondly, she does have the ability.
After Zhao Shen discovered that Ji Yunshu didn't like to worry about the affairs of the inner house, he also hoped that she would have her own things to do.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you know what I expect?"
