Chapter 145 The Truth Is Revealed
"The emperor means that Jiang Yi married the Jin State because of the marriage for the Mu State?" Mrs. Jiang looked complicated, obviously not accepting this fact, "The elopement was not the truth?"
Emperor Zhaocheng looked ashamed: "I am indeed ashamed of Jiang Yi for this matter."
Jiang Yi sat in the second-highest seat next to the emperor and sipped her tea silently, without commenting.
Although what happened back then was not as serious as the elopement, it was indeed a life-long private decision between her and someone.
Only the couple and Emperor Zhaocheng know the details best, while most others have only a partial understanding and follow what others say.
However, the reason for this, apart from the special status of the Seventh Prince and many other factors that were not humane, was also because he was too disappointed and disappointed with his relatives and did not want to say anything more to them.
"Back then, the prince was not of high birth, and I was worried that he would not be able to protect Jiang Yi. I also considered various other factors, so I signed an agreement with Jiang Yi."
Emperor Zhaocheng simplified the complicated matter and said, "But no matter what, it is indeed Ayi who was wronged about the marriage, so I want to make it up to Yan Li, and I want to marry Yan Li to the prince and become the mother of Mu State in the future." The queen of the world."
"You all know what happened later. The prince regretted his marriage. I felt guilty and wanted to give Yan Li a new marriage, but she chose the Ninth Prince."
After the words fell, everyone present fell silent.
Most officials from the princeling faction in North Korea are upset.
That's the truth.
From this point of view, when the emperor granted Yan Li a marriage to the prince, he had actually recognized the prince's status as the crown prince in his heart and acquiesced that he would become the next emperor of the Mu Kingdom.
If the prince had not broken off the engagement, his throne would have been as secure as a mountain, and no one could shake it.
It's a pity that the prince committed suicide and ended up in this situation.
The ministers of the four princes' party were glad that the prince committed suicide, otherwise, according to the emperor's wishes, the other princes would not even be able to compete.
"Your Majesty missed something." Jiang Yi added slowly, "When I married to the Jin Kingdom, the seventh prince had already ascended the throne and became the emperor."
It's just that the power is not fully in hand yet.
On the side of the dragon chair, the major families are powerful, and several princes who failed to compete for the throne are still watching.
Being on the throne as emperor does not mean having the right to speak.
Therefore, in the years after the marriage, Jiang Yi and the new emperor were in a difficult situation. They had to work their way out of the deep palace swamp step by step.
Emperor Zhaocheng nodded: "I don't want you to be put in the danger of fighting for the reserve."
The current emperor of the Jin Dynasty can stand out among the princes, and Jiang Yi is indispensable.
Emperor Zhaocheng also helped some, but it is not easy to interfere in other countries' internal affairs. After all, Emperor Zhaocheng's help was limited.
Fortunately, their emperor is a man who repays his kindness. Firstly, he has deep affection for Jiang Yi and has no regrets. Secondly, he is grateful for Jiang Yi's contribution in the past.
Thirdly, there may be elements of a marriage between the two countries. They have always respected Jiang Yi over the years.
And when he learned that she had the ability to govern the country, he gave the regent power without hesitation.
As for the several princes and concubines who were completely devoted to Jiang Yi, there were naturally various reasons.
Only then did Jiang Taifu understand: "So, the state of Mu and the state of Jin are secretly related by marriage?"
Emperor Zhaocheng nodded: "That's right."
Taifu Jiang was puzzled: "It was for self-protection back then, but the Emperor of Jin had been on the throne for more than ten years, so why didn't he say anything?"
"Because I won't let you talk." Jiang Yi said coldly, "My father kicked me out of the house back then, and my mother scolded me for being shameless. I have no intention of coming back since the day I left the Jiang family."
If so, why tell them the truth?
"Everyone will be furious if what happened back then is mentioned to them." Mrs. Jiang's expression was gloomy. "And if you said you didn't want to come back, didn't you still come back and give birth to Yan Li?"
"That's what I mean." Emperor Zhaocheng said, "Jiang Yi is pregnant. Going to the Jin Kingdom with the Seventh Prince is very dangerous and not good for the child."
So he asked Jiang Yi to stay and the seventh prince went back alone.
Jiang Yi had been planning for more than a year before she became pregnant. In the tenth month of her pregnancy, Emperor Zhaocheng secretly provided a lot of help to the seventh prince.
But after all, time was short, and the power behind the seventh prince was weak, so he created an opportunity to ascend to the throne, but he was not yet able to fully grasp the power.
Even the concubines in the harem were recommended by Jiang Yi for him to marry, because he had to win over several ministers in the court, otherwise it would be even more difficult for him to ascend to the throne.
After Jiang Yi married, there was no new member in the new emperor's harem.
"In short, Jiang Yi is now the Queen of the Jin Kingdom, and she is also a hero of the marriage in the Mu Kingdom. The indiscretions in those years are all false, and no one is allowed to make a fuss about this matter in the future." ŴŴŴ.
Mrs. Jiang's expression turned green and white, and she couldn't tell what she was feeling at this time.
Her daughter had an agreement with the emperor, but she even hid it from her biological parents.
They had such a bad reputation back then. Can you blame them for their bad attitude?
They didn't drown Yan Li in the water because they were kind, but now it's better to accuse them of having a bad attitude.
No aristocratic family would beat gongs and drums to celebrate and announce this kind of thing to the world.
What is it if it's not shame?
"Now that all the truth has been revealed, I can be considered relieved." Emperor Zhaocheng raised his wine cup and gestured to Jiang Yi, "May the Kingdom of Mu and the Kingdom of Jin always have good relations and peaceful coexistence."
Jiang Yi picked up the wine cup.
The ministers of the State of Mu and the envoys of the State of Jin also raised their glasses to congratulate him.
The emperor and his ministers enjoyed themselves together, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
…
In the evening, the sedan chair arrived outside the gate of Ninth Prince.
Mu Cang got off the horse and walked to the front of the bridal sedan. Just as he was about to lift the curtain, he heard the sound of galloping horses coming from far away.
Mu Cang's eyes turned cold: "Mo Yun!"
"I obey your order!" Mo Yun raised his hand and waved, "Guards stop it! No one is allowed to disturb the prince's worship."
"Yes."
Outside the gate of the palace, guards with swords came out in unison, and in a flash, they built a human wall outside the wedding procession.
"Mu Cang!" Yan Zheng sat on the horse and said coldly, "Yan Li is the prince's sister. You can't marry her without the queen mother's permission!"
The palace, which was originally full of joy, suddenly had a sense of tension.
Mu Cang ignored him and handed one end of the red silk to Yan Li in the bridal sedan.
Yan Li was stretching her body gently.
She was almost falling apart after sitting in the sedan and circling the city.
The sedan was very comfortable, and the people carrying the sedan were as steady as a rock.
But it couldn't stop the backache caused by sitting in the sedan chair for most of the day.
Yan Li slowly took the red silk and looked up at Mu Cang.
"I can see your eagerness." She smiled, "But no one can stop me from doing what I promised."
Don't say how noble the Queen of Jin is, and don't say that a daughter must listen to her mother.
In fact, Jiang Yi's daughter is dead.
Yan Li now is really not something she can control by calling her daughter.
Jiang Yi's motherly love, which was delayed for more than ten years, could not save her biological daughter's life, and Yan Li would not be ecstatic because of the additional identity of a Jin princess.
