Chapter 254 The Princess Arrives
Take the risk?
life?
Jia Wen has been suppressed for many years, and coupled with the heavy psychological burden, she started to have wrong thoughts on the spot.
When the eldest sister-in-law first met her, she was very excited and probably didn't think about her family, but in the past few days...
Shen Ning saw that her face had become calm. How could she not know that she was thinking the wrong thing?
"Second sister, look at my hands."
Shen Ning raised her tightly wrapped hands and said, "I worked so hard to save you, not to let you throw your life away so easily again."
"Sister-in-law~"
Jia Wen's eyes gradually filled with tears.
"Wohe is nothing. Luosha State forced them to ask us for help. Tell me, on what basis did they ask us for help? On what basis did they rely on invading the Central Plains and killing tens, millions, or even tens of millions of my Han people?"
Jia Wen: “…”
"They rely on that piece of land, the land that belongs to my Han family."
Shen Ning looked into her eyes, "We have the same black hair, black eyes and even similar skin. They also look down on the Luosha people. If they do, if they can surrender, do you think they, who have a blood feud with us, will ask Dazhao for help?"
“…”
Jia Wen's heart was greatly shaken.
"Perhaps they have also thought about giving in to the Russians, but just like when they entered the Central Plains, they did not treat us Han people as human beings. The Russians... probably will not treat them as human beings either."
This? Jia Wen's expression became serious.
It’s not that I’m worried about the Jin people, but I was born in the Rongguo Mansion. My grandparents, father and even the servants in the house have all told me how brutal those people were when they invaded the Central Plains.
"But asking Dazhao for help is such an important matter, but they only sent one Beile, Wohe, at the beginning. Second sister, have you ever thought about the reason?"
All day long, he was thinking about trivial matters, how to make that bastard happy, how to avoid getting beaten, and he couldn't see the world in his eyes.
Shen Ning could only guide them step by step. "I'll tell you, in addition to testing Dazhao's attitude towards Luosha Country, they are also afraid of death and being liquidated. Only Wohe is different. Wohe has you and your three children. If he really gets lost in Dazhao, his dying counterattack will not be able to drag down the Jia family, and it will also hurt the Jia family. This is only because they have a blood feud with the Jia family."
"...Sister-in-law, what do you want me to do?"
"Go for it, show the magnanimity of Princess Dazhao, and make them crawl at your feet."
What? Jia Wen was stunned.
The two palace maids who had been trained and ordered to protect Princess Rong were also stunned.
"You don't believe it?"
Shen Ning couldn't help but laugh when she saw her expression.
"Can I...can I do it?"
Jia Wen felt that she was not good enough! "What do you mean by good enough?"
Shen Ning stretched out her hand and tapped her forehead. "If you can't do it, can Wohe bring you here? If you can't do it, can the emperor make you the Princess of Rong? Second sister, have you forgotten that you are the daughter of Duke Rong? They are afraid of your grandfather and father. Although the Jia family is not in the army now, as long as there are Dazhao troops, show your title of Princess Rong and your identity as the daughter of Duke Rong. My Dazhao border troops will fight to the death to protect you.
Wohe beat you, threatened you, and even the entire royal family ostracized you, all because you are of Han descent and the daughter of Duke Rong.
We didn't know your situation before, but now we know it, and they need our help, so how can you not stand up?"
This? Jia Wen wanted to, but... she didn't know if she would be scared when the time came. "You're not sure now?"
"yes!"
Jia Wen is honest.
"Then let me ask you, do you hate Woher?"
"hatred!"
I hate it so much.
"Are you afraid he will hit you?"
"Afraid!"
I was also very scared.
"Then let's start with him."
What? Jia Wen was puzzled.
"Let's go!"
Shen Ning stood up and said, "The Queen has probably finished dealing with everything that needs to be dealt with by now. Let's go talk to her and borrow a few more people. Sister-in-law will accompany you. You should fight back the way he beat you before."
In the land of Dazhao, if Jia Wen, who was conferred the title of princess, did not dare to fight Wohe, then... forget about everything.
She doesn't need to know about Dazhao's actions towards the Jin people.
Even Shen Ning felt that if she went back, she would be dead.
"Hit... hit Woher?"
"Fear?"
Shen Ning looked at her.
Jia Wen stood up and trembled. She wanted to retreat, but...
"Sister-in-law, will you accompany me?"
"nature!"
Shen Ning smiled, her voice gentle, "This is your first counterattack, so of course your sister-in-law has to accompany you."
"Sister-in-law~"
Jia Wen did not move immediately, "If I beat Wo He, what if they want to kill more Han people?"
"…You tried to resist, and then they killed a lot of Han people?"
"yes!"
Jia Wen's tears fell. "The maids, servant girls, and chambermaids who followed me back then... all died because of me. I was pregnant and wanted to take my child with me, but many Han people who were abducted by them were brought in front of me and told that it was because of the child or I that they all had to die."
“…”
“…”
There was a moment of silence at the scene, and the palace maids serving here couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
Shen Ning's eyes were also red. Besides being shocked, sad, and uncomfortable, she was more angry and sad. "So, you compromised?"
"yes!"
When Jia Wen nodded, tears fell from her eyes.
She couldn't bear so many lives.
Later, she gave birth to twins. She did not raise the boy, who was taken away as soon as he was born, but her daughter, Hezhuo, stayed with her.
With her daughter, her heart became even less hardened.
In fact, of the so-called three children, she had only seen the eldest one from afar during the Chinese New Year. Every time she wanted to get closer to see him, he would turn around and leave early.
As for the second son, Naman, because he and Hezhuo were twins, Wohe would occasionally allow him to go to the inner courtyard to have meals with his sister.
But that’s all.
The way the child sometimes looks at her...
Jia Wen couldn't describe it.
From attachment, reliance, and reluctance to later indifference, dissatisfaction, and disgust, each one broke her heart.
"Sister-in-law, do you have any solution that won't compromise?"
Shen Ning: “…”
She was silent for a while. "You had no choice but to compromise before, but now you don't have to. If they threaten you with the lives of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of Han people, then sit back and watch them kill. Then tell them that the path of genocide is their own choice."
What? Jia Wen's pupils trembled.
"When you have nowhere to go, you need to have a more willing mindset than them. You also need to believe that today's Dazhao can do it."
Is it really possible?
Jia Wen asked with her eyes.
"Da Zhao has not forgotten the blood feud we once had."
Shen Ning felt that one more condition could be added to the conditions for Dazhao to send out troops, that is, the Han people in its territory would become the people of Dazhao from the moment Dazhao sent out troops. If they dared to kill one more person, the royal family would have to pay with the lives of ten people.
"Taizu once said that the previous dynasty had taught us a lesson. Dazhao will not give a chance to those who become his subjects and then turn back on their ways."
Wohe and the others may not know that Dazhao’s ancestor once left this ancestral precept.
"So, second sister, what do you think they would do if they knew that Taizu had included this in the ancestral teachings? Would they still dare to threaten you with the price of extermination of their clan?"
"Grandfather... Grandfather has such ancestral teachings?"
"have!"
Shen Ning nodded, "The Queen must have the ancestral teachings of the great ancestor. You can see it with your own eyes."
"I'm going to find the Queen!"
This ancestral precept is very important to her.
After a while, the queen, who had just finished dealing with palace affairs, saw the two of them.
Your Majesty often reads the ancestral teachings of Taizu.
There really is such a thing.
The queen had not thought of this at first, but seeing the expressions of the two aunts and sisters-in-law, she immediately understood and showed it to Jia Wen on the spot.
"Sister Shen, you are now..."
The queen's eyes were particularly bright, she felt that Sister Shen was going to do something big again.
"Your Majesty, does Princess Rong want to go back?"
"……yes!"
When Jia Wen looked over, the queen nodded slightly.
The emperor wants to use them to open up some openings in Tatar.
However, Princess Rong was of a weak character, so the emperor could only arrange the main matters for her entourage.
But both the emperor and the empress knew that some things might be better done by Princess Rongguo.
If Princess Rong had the same personality as Sister Shen, the couple wouldn't have to worry at all.
"Second sister, did you hear that?"
“Yes.”
When Jia Wen saw this ancestral precept, she slowly straightened up.
"Then Wohe, do you still dare to fight?"
"dare!"
He was willing to sacrifice his life to bring down the emperor, let alone a mere Woher.
Jia Wen is not a fool.
Of course she understood what her sister-in-law meant.
If she, as the Princess of Rong, cannot stand up when those people ask Da Zhao for something, then everything will be over.
She is not worthy of being her grandfather's granddaughter or her father's daughter.
"Then let's go. Let's establish our authority with him first."
Shen Ning smiled, "My Lady, to prevent any accidents, you have to lend the princess a few capable fighters."
"nature!"
The Queen did not hesitate.
She has no manpower, but the emperor does! "Wait a moment!"
The queen gave a look to her chief maid and the maid beside Jia Wen, and the two of them left quietly.
At this time, Prince Li Suo Jin and Prince Zheng Tie Bao had already knelt before the emperor in the court, their postures showing great respect.
This is the only way to ask for help.
The two men wanted to finalize Dazhao's reinforcements today, but they didn't expect that a few old foxes in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue first complained loudly about the money. They were forced to talk back and forth, and after paying 3.8 million taels of military expenses, they quarreled over personnel issues. The emperor withdrew from the court in anger, and the matter was temporarily shelved.
But the old official from the Ministry of Revenue kept asking them for money.
And they hinted that as long as the money was in place, they would immediately help out.
Although they were very suspicious of this old man who only cared about money, when their small group of eight was scheming against each other, they often had to see the benefits first before they could unite.
Now, when they came, they had already anticipated that they would be blackmailed by Dazhao, so the money was easy to negotiate.
And they had already transported the silver here through secret channels.
After all, no matter who suffers, they can't make themselves suffer.
Luosha State is eyeing them covetously, so they have to be prepared! It can be said that more than half of the things that were robbed from the Central Plains have now been transported to Dazhao and hidden in several secret locations.
In order to show their sincerity and to ensure that reinforcements could rush over to help them fight, the two men returned to Huitong Hall and openly showed up at a stronghold in the capital, and sent 1.8 million taels of silver.
The emperor was not happy even though the silver was paid so quickly.
He even suspected that the 1.8 million taels of silver were something they did not have time to take away when they left Beijing in a hurry.
Therefore, as soon as they received the Queen's request for help and listened to the report from the Nineteenth Palace Maid beside Jia Wen, they immediately dispatched a team of guards on the spot.
After a while, Suo Jin and Tie Bao, who had just got a table of fine food from Zhenxiu Tower, were drinking and discussing how to use silver to force Dazhao to send troops as soon as possible. When they heard that Princess Rong was coming, they were very surprised.
"Hehe, Emperor Dazhao is quite interesting!"
Tie Bao thought that the emperor sent Jia Wen here because they gave him money on time, "No wonder they say he was once so poor."
It's really impossible not to despise him.
"etc!"
Suo Jin was older and felt that the owner's expression was not right when he replied, "Owner, is there anyone else besides Princess Rong?"
"And Madam Shen from Ningguo Mansion."
What? Tiebao's smile froze.
The owner of the museum saw the expressions on their faces and his legs couldn't help but twitch. "My two princes, the princess has arrived. Please welcome her!"
meet?
them?
"Who else?"
Suo Jin quickly asked the guards who were rushing over in Manchu.
"Royal Guards!"
The guard said two words silently, his expression extremely solemn.
This Princess Rongguo seemed to have bad intentions.
"Wait a moment. Since we are going to welcome him, we should bring Woher along as well."
Suo Jin said to the guards, "Go, bring Wohe Beile over here as well."
"yes!"
The guard left in a hurry.
So after a while, Woher was carried out first.
His former concubine, who had to go east and never dared to go west, came back and actually asked him to welcome her out of the gate.
Humph~ Wohe really wanted to be angry.
But now he didn't dare to be angry.
Mrs. Shen from Ningguo Mansion also came.
"Weniang~"
Woher lay on the bench, and tried to use a particularly gentle tone as he called out to the magnificent sedan chair, "You're finally back. I missed you so much. I did some things wrong before. You see, now..."
"Slap!"
The gray-robed eunuch said in a cold voice, "How can a mere prince like you casually call out the princess' name?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another eunuch came forward and hit him ten times at an extremely fast speed.
Suo Jin and Tie Bao, who were a step slower, could hardly believe what they saw.
Woher was actually beaten right before their eyes.
Oh my~ It's the opposite of Tian Gang! How dare Jia Wen?
once……
"Suo Jin, Tie Bao~"
The two looked at each other and could only bow, "I didn't know the princess was coming, so I didn't come to greet you. Please forgive me!"
"Wrong etiquette!"
The gray-robed eunuch asked again, "Where are the people from the Ministry of Rites? Come one and teach them how a minister of a vassal state should meet my Princess Dazhao."
"yes!"
A man dressed in the uniform of the Ministry of Rites immediately stepped forward.
