For now, the emperor can only say sorry to the Jia family!
He didn't dare to let Shen Ning say everything, so he said directly: "Da Zhao must help them drive away the Rakshasa people first."
"I know!"
Shen Ning was not disappointed. "Wohe brought Jia Wen here to promote cooperation with Dazhao and to threaten the Jia family. He hoped that the Jia family would use their influence in the army to help them. They are more afraid of the Luosha people than we are.
So here they come.
They wanted to get more help from Dazhao.
Whether this help is unconditional or conditional is up to our two families to discuss.”
At this point, Shen Ning kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Jin people are marrying the various Tatar tribes in order to borrow their power. Now, this Wohe is also married to the Jia family."
What? The emperor was shocked. "Stand up and speak."
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!"
Shen Ning didn't believe that the children who grew up there would identify with the Jia family. She stood up and said, "Whether it's the Tatar tribes or the Jin people, they have all tasted the benefits of entering the Central Plains. It's impossible to make them forget it.
The first thing they did when they became strong was to attack us.
They seized land, property, women and even children to serve as slaves.”
A nation that only knows how to destroy and has never achieved anything must be suppressed harshly.
"Now that the Rakshasa Kingdom has come to kill them, they want our help, which means we have to take the initiative, and they have to listen to whatever we say."
“…”
“…”
The emperor and the empress looked at each other and said in an unusually warm voice, "Sit down and talk."
"Yes, yes, yes, sister, please sit down and talk. There is tea here. How about having some tea first?"
"Thank you, my lady!"
Shen Ning took the tea, sat down, and said, "Whether it's the Jin people or the Tatars, they all believe in the strong, which means they will listen to whoever has the bigger fist. Now that my Dazhao has the biggest fist, it's natural that they should listen to us."
"That's true, but we also have to guard against their reversals. Once we send out all our troops to fight the Russians, the Tatar tribes will most likely send out troops to fight us as well, so we can't reduce the number of garrisons in various places."
"That depends on how the Jin people negotiate with the Tatar tribes."
Shen Ning said: "Of course, we can also send people to contact the Luosha people, regardless of whether we want to talk to them or not, but contact..., to some extent, is a kind of deterrence!"
emperor:"……"
He is trying to find a way to make contact with the Rakshasas.
This was something that many of them came up with after discussing it for several days.
Mr. Liu even said that Dazhao could first cooperate with the Russians, attack them from both sides, divide the territories of the Tatars and the Jin people, and then each side could rely on its own abilities.
He didn't believe that the Rakshasas could continue to fight them after they had come all the way across the bitter cold land and consumed half of their population and gunpowder.
The emperor's heart was really itched by Mr. Liu.
He wished he could be transferred to the Ministry of War immediately.
Let him be his mouthpiece, and fight for him in the court.
Unfortunately not!
Dong Xiaoquan said that if Mr. Liu wanted to become a famous official, he had to help him.
Only Jinshi can enter the Hanlin Academy, and only Hanlin can enter the cabinet.
He had to protect a famous official for Dazhao.
But I didn't expect Mrs. Shen to also...
Thinking of Jia Jing, whom the Crown Prince once trusted deeply, and how Jia Jing had no other choice but to take the same path as the Crown Prince, the Emperor suddenly felt heartbroken.
"Someone in the court has already made contact with the Rakshasa Kingdom."
The emperor said sincerely, "As for that Wo He..., what does Madam Shen want to do?"
He looked down on Wocher.
The Jin people were ruled by eight kings, and the Luosha Kingdom had already reached Heihe. They had something to ask of Dazhao, but they only sent a small Beile...
Humph~ This shows that they are certain that Dazhao must help them.
The emperor felt like he had eaten a fly poop.
So he was actively preparing in all aspects while leaving Woher alone.
I want to make them wait no longer, and repeatedly ask to talk later.
But now, the emperor feels that it might be better to hand over Woher to Madam Shen.
"I have an immature idea for now."
"Nothing, just tell me, I pardon you."
"Recognize Jia Wen. First, go to Huitong Hall as her family member and beat up Wo He to vent her anger. Then you can talk."
emperor:"……"
Queen: “…”
"He brought Jia Wen to the capital to deal with the Jia family, but he also had the idea of borrowing the Jia family's strength. In this case, the Jia family should recognize it openly and tell him that our daughter is not willing to be a slave. If the Jin people want Dazhao to help them, they must first hand over the throne to him."
Huh? The emperor and the queen blinked almost at the same time.
"Your Majesty, Wohe was able to take the task of going to Dazhao to seek help among so many princes and nobles. He must have some ambitions."
Shen Ning said: "Beat him up and force his clan to give him a throne. Then for him, Dazhao is his backer. With this backer, doesn't he want to have more power?"
Clap! Clap! The emperor clapped first, and the queen followed suit and clapped for Shen Ning.
"Sister is so talented!"
The queen was very happy, "These past few days, the emperor and I have been thinking about how to use Jia Wen."
I thought of many ways, but none of them was perfect.
On the contrary, Sister Shen's simple and rough method is both satisfying and reasonable.
"Yes, Madam Shen, since you have made up your mind, then go ahead and do it. I will cooperate with you."
The emperor made the final decision.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Shen Ning was not very happy. "By doing this, the Jia family is pushing Jia Wen to the position of princess. Her three children..."
"Her three children can naturally take over Woher's throne when needed."
The emperor thought she was worried about the three children, so he decided to protect them. "This time, while fighting for the throne for Wohe, we can also fight for the position of Beile or Beizi for the children."
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant."
Shen Ning smiled bitterly, "The Jin people invaded the Central Plains, and carried out the Ten Days of Yangzhou and the Three Massacres of Jiading... In their eyes, the Han people were not as good as cattle and horses. Those three children were born and raised there, and they must have been mocked because of their Han blood.
Even they themselves may feel that this bloodline has lowered their status.
We can help them fight for some things, make them rely on us, and fight for power and profit for us, but at the same time, we should also limit what should be limited, and never give them complete trust at any time. "
"...I understand what Madam means."
The emperor nodded and said, "They are who they are. Even if they come to Dazhao with a strong army again one day, I will never blame the Jia family."
He won't give those people a chance.
Just as they wanted to invade the Central Plains, he also wanted all the time to expand his territory and make up for the regrets of Taizu and countless founding ministers.
The Ten Days of Yangzhou, the Three Massacres of Jiading…
Taizu did not forget, and neither did he.
"In that case..., then I will take my leave and go beat the man."
"Hahaha, go ahead!"
When Jia Lian brought a bunch of things over, he heard the emperor's laughter from afar.
So, after a while, the things were handed over, and Shen Judao, who made the wooden spear, stayed. However, he was dragged out of the palace by Shen Ning and asked to mobilize all the guards in the family. In short, all the capable fighters in the family must be brought to Huitong Hall.
This this?
Jia Lian was so frightened that he even stuttered, "Aunt, what are you going to do?"
"Take your second aunt home, and beat up that Wohe who kidnapped your second aunt."
What? Jia Lian's legs weakened immediately and he almost knelt down before her.
"Look at what you have accomplished!"
Shen Ning was very disappointed, "Isn't Jia Wen your second aunt?"
"yes!"
"She was bullied, and as her nephew, you just want to watch? Or... deny her and force her to death?"
"I dare not, my nephew dare not!"
Jia Lian was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat.
He was so eager to present his aunt's musket, partly because he hoped that the emperor would pay more attention to the Jia family and save his second aunt's life in the future.
"Since you don't dare, then do it!"
Shen Ning has no ill feelings towards Jia Lian.
In the Red Mansion, he is the only man in the Jia family who is capable and has a good conscience.
"Don't worry, I've already told the emperor about this."
What? Jia Lian's eyes suddenly lit up, "Nephew will do it right away."
He, his father and elder brother Zhu went to the palace several times to discuss the matter with the emperor and many adults, but they had no idea how to proceed. Yet, in the blink of an eye, his aunt actually accomplished it.
Jia Lian did not dare to delay, so he left the palace and left Wang'er and a few others to protect Shen Ning's safety. He then mounted his horse and rushed home.
The carriage coming from Ningguo Mansion to pick up Shen Ning had been waiting for a long time.
Palace guard Qi Youding followed Jiao Da's order and drove the car himself.
"Madam, are you going home?"
If I go back home, the second master should accompany me!
Why did he leave Wang'er and the others behind and run away in such a hurry?
"No!" Shen Ning shook her head, "Let's go to Huitong Hall."
“…”
Qi Youding was stunned.
However, he quickly started the carriage and headed for Huitong Hall.
Knowing that she had returned, the people who were waiting to watch the show were all surprised when they received letters from their servants.
Mrs. Shen didn't even go back home and went to Huitong Hall without discussing it with Old Lady Shi?
"Let's go, what's the name of the teahouse opposite Huitong Hall? Let's go sit there."
Concubine Nan'an was so curious that she took the princess to watch the play.
In Huitong Hall, Wohe was also anxiously waiting for news from outside.
"Lord Baylor!"
The guard rushed in and said, "A lot of people came to the teahouse and restaurant across the street to book private rooms."
"What's going on?"
"Say it is..."
The guard glanced at Jia Wen who was delivering the tea and said, "It is said that Madam Shen from Ningguo Mansion came to our side after she entered the palace to thank the Queen."
What? Jia Wen's hands trembled and the tea almost spilled.
“Hehe~”
Wo He glanced at her and said with a fake smile, "Isn't this a good thing? Go, change your clothes and wear something prettier. I can't let you lose face for me."
"……yes!"
Jia Wen didn't dare to refuse and went to change clothes quickly.
She was panicked and scared! Although she told Wo He that day that they and the elder sister-in-law were just showing respect to each other, the fact that the elder sister-in-law could show them respect was a kind of favor in itself.
Jia Wen has always been grateful in her heart.
To be honest, she would rather face the scolding and killing of her stepmother than her sister-in-law who had once been kind to her.
Her unbearableness, her embarrassment...
Jia Wen felt ashamed to see her.
As the daughter of the Jia family, she was abducted by the enemy. However, she did not resist fiercely, did not die, and even gave birth to three children for the enemy.
She is a disgrace to the Jia family.
It is a shame for Dazhao.
Jia Wen's hands were shaking badly.
I tried for a long time to button my shirt but couldn't do it.
When she finally fastened the button, her heart started beating violently again.
Dong Dong~~Dong Dong Dong~~~~Jia Wen pressed the button, forced herself to sit down in front of the dressing table with composure, and put on the most luxurious set of jewelry.
She touched one of the hairpins with her hand, and then inserted it as if she had made up her mind.
Life is so hard.
If you really can't stand it, just be decisive!
It is a blessing to die in Dazhao.
Jia Wen looked very pale in the mirror. She was afraid that Wocher would be angry, so she quickly put on some rouge and applied some on her lips and cheeks.
This way, it immediately looks much better.
When Woher strode over, he was very satisfied to see her like this.
"Let's go, the Jia family's carriage has arrived."
So fast? Jia Wen's heart trembled, and she finally stood up and followed.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Huitong Hall, but Shen Ning did not get off. She was waiting for Jia Wen.
Of course, she had no intention of entering Huitong Hall.
Along the way, her carriage was not moving very fast. Judging from the time, Jia Lian and his men were almost there.
"Mrs. Shen, the person you want to see is here. Won't you come out and see him?"
Woher's voice was already shining before he even left the hall.
Shen Ning lifted the car curtain and the first person she saw was Jia Wen.
Don’t say she’s not the original owner. Even if she is, after not seeing her for many years, now…
"Wen Niang? Second sister?"
Searching the original body's memory, Jia Wen's appearance is the most outstanding among the four sisters.
Unlike Jia Min, who is well-read, has a good temperament and intellectual beauty, Jia Wen's eyes are as clear as autumn water. Her eyes seem to be able to captivate people, and there is a hint of weirdness in her charm.
The original body had a headache because of her eyes.
A lady from a noble family with such a pair of eyes is not pleasing to her mother-in-law.
Especially in large mansions, the time a woman spends with her husband is far less than the time she spends with her mother-in-law.
For this reason, the original body taught her to act a little dumb in front of outsiders.
Of course, reading is even more necessary.
Beautiful books will be more popular with the public.
Finally, when Jia Wen got married, everything was perfect.
The eyes are still the same eyes now, but they seem to be filled with sadness and despair.
Shen Ning tried her best to ignore the sharpness and fierceness that appeared on her face when she first came out.
When she called out "Weniang, second sister", Jia Wen felt only sadness and despair.
Shen Ning's heart was greatly shocked. She suddenly opened the car curtain. When she was about to jump, Wen Peilan quickly supported her.
Jia Wen's lips were trembling, and she really wanted to call her sister-in-law.
But she couldn't shout out.
She went home twice, and except for her third sister who saw her once, no one else dared to see her.
She couldn't get into that house.
But sister-in-law...
How can the sister-in-law call her like that? That's like admitting it!
Jia Wen's heart has always been conflicted. On the one hand, she hates her family for not recognizing her, but on the other hand, she is afraid that her family will recognize her.
"Hurry, Wen Niang, the eldest sister-in-law is calling you."
Woher pulled her.
"Sister-in-law!"
Jia Wen's tears fell.
She doesn't want to live anymore, she can die. (End of this chapter)
