Chapter 440 Perfect Victim
The main reason is that Jiang Xinyue is not a "local". He is not familiar with the General's Mansion and heard the news from the emperor. Yan
Erlang seems to have not joined the army and is used to being idle and wild. He has not settled down and has not started a family.
Yan Sanlang is engaged to her sister Jiang Xinyan. He is the third son of the General of the Cavalry and the wisest military strategist in Shi Ruojun's mouth.
What she meant should be that she wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but she was afraid that the old ministers in the court would not agree with women going to the battlefield, so she proposed to let Yan Sanlang be the chief commander.
But when it really comes to killing the enemy, she, the deputy general, will rush to the front and will never let Yan Sanlang be in danger.
"Why can't you be the commander-in-chief?"
Jiang Xinyue: "If I have made so many efforts to change the current situation of women, and if I still can't let you stand firm in this world with your own abilities, and need to rely on men to play your strengths, then won't my efforts be in vain?"
Shi Ruojun looked at her with bright eyes: "Your Majesty means..."
To make her a female general?
This has been her dream since she was a child!
"But it's a matter of time."
Jiang Xinyue said domineeringly: "The time when we women can also hold up half the sky will not be too long."
But not now.
Goguryeo obviously underestimated Jiang Xinyue, thinking that she was a woman and could not make decisions without the emperor, so they deliberately chose this time to make their envoys make trouble.
If Jiang Xinyue keeps silent, other vassal states will think that the Great Yan Dynasty they depend on is timid and cowardly. If they ask for help from Great Yan in the future, they don't know whether they can get help.
Once this belief is shaken, it will be difficult for them to respond to the various new rules and laws of Great Yan wholeheartedly.
Maybe they will follow the footsteps of Fuso and Goguryeo and surrender to the enemy. If
Jiang Xinyue does not keep silent, how can she deal with it reasonably? They will find other excuses and find fault anyway.
In this case, why doesn't Jiang Xinyue take the initiative?
Inciting public opinion, making something out of nothing, and taking advantage of the people's mentality of going with the flow, these are all Jiang Xinyue's leftovers.
Not only can she make something out of nothing, she can also pretend to be a perfect victim.
The truth is often in the hands of a few people.
The more people who scold her and frame her, the better.
The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice jointly arrested people. The streets were so deserted that there was not even a single person strolling around.
Several vendors at street stalls gathered together to chat and complain: "Have the spies from Goguryeo been caught? If things continue like this, we won't be able to do business."
"I wanted to have a good New Year this year! There's no hope if this continues."
Several officials of different styles walked out of the gate of the Honglu Temple. They were wearing court robes representing their motherland, and their faces were grim: "This is not a solution. His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire must give us an explanation. Princess Lihua cannot die in such an unclear way."
"I heard that the Empress Dowager is in charge of the palace now. What new laws is she implementing? Why does the Emperor let her do whatever she wants?"
"Hey?"
The official in charge of receiving them from the Honglu Temple said solemnly: "I understand your eagerness to know the truth, but the Queen Mother is the mother of the country of Dayan. You should respect her as much as you respect the emperor. If you can't do that and make irresponsible remarks about the Queen Mother, the envoys will have to stay in the Ministry of Justice for a few days."
The envoys' faces changed: "We don't mean that. Please don't report to the authorities to arrest us. He made a mistake. How can ordinary women compare with the Queen Mother?"
They heard that the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice of Dayan was a fierce god who killed people without blinking an eye. They didn't want to die in a foreign land like Princess Lihua.
The official of Dayan looked better: "Then you should also be careful in what you say and do. What kind of women are ordinary women? You should treat them equally."
Several envoys were speechless.
Anyway, it seemed that no matter what they said, it was wrong.
They didn't know that it was because their concept was wrong.
In their hearts, they always felt that women were inferior to men, so they would say things like "Queen of Heaven" and "ordinary women".
When they talked about the emperor, did they compare him with emperors of other countries? Who would dare to do that?
As soon as the officials of the Honglu Temple left, several envoys planned to return to their own bureaucracy. After walking a few steps, they heard the sound of weapons clashing
. When they turned around, several figures suddenly flew over their heads.
Several young men chasing behind shouted, "Goguryeo spy, where are you running to?"
Spy? !
Did a spy really sneak into Dayan?
The spy fought with several guards wearing official uniforms of the Ministry of Justice. His kung fu was not bad, and they were in a stalemate for a while.
"Hurry! Hide quickly, or we will be in trouble."
The envoys hid here and there, but the spy seemed to have eyes. Wherever the envoys hid, he fell there.
He was still speaking the language of Goguryeo: "You are bugs of Dayan. We Goguryeo is the Celestial Empire. You are shit. And you weak people are also bugs. Those who rely on Dayan are all bugs."
The envoys all knew some foreign languages. If nothing else, they could understand the dirty words.
"You son of a bitch, how dare you scold us?"
Immediately, an envoy with a hot temper rushed out and helped the guards of the Ministry of Justice to beat up the "spy".
The officials of Dayan scolded them, and they could only swallow their anger. There was no other way. Their king had to look at the face of the Emperor of Dayan!
But what does Goguryeo rely on? Should it
still be bullied by them?
Several guards from the Ministry of Justice made a "beg" gesture to the young man lying on the ground, being punched and kicked. They didn't expect those envoys to be so rude!
"Long live Goguryeo, long live Goguryeo, long live Goguryeo, one day our assassins will kill your queen, and the Great Yan Dynasty will sooner or later be trampled by our king's iron cavalry!"
Since they have been beaten, they have to raise the hatred value a little more.
"And you sycophants, wait until we, Goguryeo, crush Dayan, and then we will come and deal with you one by one. You will all become our running dogs. Then we will definitely humiliate you severely. Who told you to join Dayan? If you know what's good for you, join us, Goguryeo. We will even give you a bone to eat."
Calling them dogs!
Several envoys were so angry that their noses were crooked, and they beat the "spy" to death.
The guards of the Ministry of Justice covered their faces and couldn't bear to watch.
Too hard, really too hard!
"Stop beating him! Stop beating him! Who are you? This is a spy from Goguryeo. We have to take him back to the Ministry of Justice for strict interrogation. If you beat him to death, how can we report to the adults?"
After finally pulling the man away, the guards of the Ministry of Justice quickly pulled the "brother" on the ground up and quickly took him away from the scene.
The envoys straightened their clothes and patted the dust and wrinkles: "It's not someone, just passing by."
They couldn't reveal their identities in front of the people from the Ministry of Justice. If the man was really beaten to death by them, they would go to jail.
They heard that the criminal law of the Great Yan Dynasty was very strict, and they didn't want to challenge it.
