Chapter 453: Things are changing
That is to say, Goguryeo's alliance with Fusang and its surrender to Jin were just to help Dayan.
The war between Dayan and Jin had reached a point where it had to be fought.
Those ministers who advocated peace had no more words to say.
The other side has provoked you to your doorstep. If you don't fight back, wouldn't that be a waste of time?
While using the advantages of women to improve the status of women, Jiang Xinyue was also helping the emperor realize his ideal of unifying the world.
The emperor's eyes were full of sparks. She looked at Jiang Xinyue for a long time and hugged her in her arms: "Yuer, I will never let you down in this life."
It was right not to let you down. After all, in addition to loving the emperor wholeheartedly, she had already considered everything for him, taken him into consideration, and put his interests first.
To truly love someone is just to do what she did.
She also gave birth to three children for the emperor. This was not a life-long friendship, and she could not do it.
Of course, in order to consolidate her position, this was her own choice, and she did not blame anyone.
She leaned in the emperor's arms and smiled: "I will never let the emperor down in this life."
The most beautiful love words are also telling him that it is impossible to love him deeply, but if you don't do stupid things, I will not let you down, but if your feelings for me fade, then I will treat you in another way.
She wants the emperor to understand a truth, people are mutual, if you treat me well, I will treat you twice as well. If
you treat me badly, I can also abandon you like a worn-out shoe.
No one can live well without the other.
In the tenderness that filled the room, the emperor and the empress pretended to be ignorant even though they knew the truth, and their life was warm and happy.
Some things are hard to be ignorant. If you want to investigate everything clearly, there will be endless quarrels.
Just like when Jiang Xinyue was bullied when she first entered the palace, the emperor wanted to consolidate the former dynasty and the harem, so didn't he make her suffer a lot of grievances and plots?
Now the situation has changed, whoever loves more will pretend to be more ignorant.
With the cavalry general on the battlefield, the support of Meng Qingyu, and Shi Ruojun waiting for the opportunity to act, it is much more united than the three parties of Fuso, Goguryeo, and Jin who each have their own ulterior motives and get together, right?
This is the source of Jiang Xinyue's confidence.
Fusang is a villain, needless to say. They are fence-sitters who lean towards whatever direction the wind blows. They say they are allies, but in fact, they can backstab their allies if you are not careful. Everyone knows this.
Goguryeo is not much better. It is obviously not as big as a state city of Dayan, but they like to boast that they are the origin of the universe and wish that the whole world belongs to them. They have no self-awareness at all.
Jin is a big country in itself. If it were not for the defeat of Dayan, they would not have taken those vassal states seriously.
To destroy them is as easy as crushing an ant. Of course, they should unite with them to suppress Dayan first, and then these small countries will naturally be out of the question.
Are Fusang and Goguryeo both idiots? Is there no one in their country who understands the principle of "lips and teeth are cold when they are gone"?
Of course there is.
So they will definitely take some action.
Jiang Xinyue knew that they would do something, so she first splashed the dirty water over to alienate the relationship between them and make them suspicious of each other.
As long as the seeds of suspicion are planted, there is no need to worry that they will not bloom into gorgeous flowers.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"Your Majesty! You are coughing up blood!"
Shuxiang held the bloody handkerchief, her voice tinged with tears: "Your Majesty, can we tell the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother is so powerful, she must have a way to save you."
Liang Fei's throat couldn't help itching while she was breathing. She coughed violently a few times and covered her chest that was painful from coughing: "The Emperor and the Queen Mother now have to review memorials and take care of border wars every day. How can I bother them with such a small matter?"
A person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to take care of so many things.
The Queen Mother is a human, not a god. It's because the women in this world worship her too much, so they regard her as the savior and the omnipotent god.
"Your Majesty, Lady Ye is here. She said she made an appointment with you yesterday to get the pattern to embroider a small swaddling cloth for the third princess."
Concubine Liang took a deep breath and suppressed her urge to cough: "Let her in."
After a while, Lady Ye smiled and came in through the curtain, but when she saw Concubine Liang, her face changed drastically: "Sister Liang? What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Her face was really bloodless, pale and yellow, to the point that even rouge could not cover it.
The weather has not warmed up recently, and the Queen Mother is busy with the war. The sisters haven't made an appointment to play cards together for a long time.
When she saw Concubine Liang like this, Lady Ye was really surprised.
Concubine Liang forced herself to stand up and smiled: "Don't exaggerate. I just caught a cold. I wanted to fight it off a few days ago, but I coughed for two nights and didn't sleep well, so I didn't look good. I asked the imperial physician to make medicine this morning, and I will be fine in a few days."
There was indeed a bitter smell of Chinese medicine in the room. If it was just taken this morning, the smell of medicine would be too strong.
Concubine Liang was used to the smell of medicine from taking it all day, so she didn't notice it herself, but Lady Ye only came once in a long time, and she felt that the bitter smell of medicine in this room seemed to have been soaked in the medicine jar for some time.
She looked at Concubine Liang suspiciously, but her face showed no expression. Instead, she smiled and joked, "Sister Liang, you must get well soon. Spring is coming soon. The Queen Mother said that she could hold a wine party to let the sisters in the harem relax!"
After October last year, there were no banquets in the palace. The emperor did not visit the harem, and the concubines were almost bored to death.
When spring comes in March, they can have some fun together.
The main reason was that the front line had continuous good news. Meng Qingyu captured and released the famous Goguryeo general Park Min Da three times in the battle with him, causing the opponent's mentality to collapse and lose all confidence. No matter how much Meng Qingyu shouted, he refused to come out again.
This incident also made Park Min Da, the Goguryeo god of war, a laughing stock among the people on the border, and his reputation plummeted.
On the contrary, Meng Qingyu became famous in the border area by stepping on Park Minda's face and became the new god of war in the hearts of the people in the border area.
Goguryeo was furious and no longer accepted the challenge alone, and now launched a large-scale attack on the border with Fuso.
The Jin army was intercepted in the mountains. The Jin generals, who were just trying to show off, fled when they saw the situation was not right.
But they were cunning and knew that the cavalry would not chase them, so they turned around and prepared to go around Fuso.
Anyway, they were not fighting on the front line, and the Fuso and Goguryeo armies were the ones who died. They were just there to show support for Goguryeo and provide some advanced artillery weapons and reserve food.
