Chapter 220 Is an Opportunity
"All the princes and concubines are in jail?" Yan Li frowned slightly, "So, after the Jin emperor became the deposed prince, his power should be very little. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is at the end of his rope."
Mu Cang nodded: "Absolutely."
Yan Li was silent for a moment and said calmly: "In this situation, if someone helps him make a comeback, it will be enough for him to remember it in his heart for a lifetime."
Fifteen years ago, Xihe was still young and naturally didn't know what happened in the Jin Kingdom. Besides, it was not uncommon for fathers and sons to kill brothers in the royal families of various countries. Even her father might have only heard about it and would not pay too much attention to it.
If the incident did not happen in the country, the feelings would not be so unforgettable. Besides, everyone is concerned about the affairs of their own country. Who has time to stare at others every day?
Mucang and Xihe are now adults and are also decision-makers. If we discuss this matter now, we can easily judge the situation of the Jin emperor when he became the deposed prince.
"The current emperor of the Jin Kingdom is kind and kind by nature." Mu Cang sat down beside her and said in a calm tone, "His sons are very similar to him."
Yan Li's eyebrows moved slightly: "Those princes just now looked unsteady and a little childish."
"The eldest prince Yan Zheng and the fourth prince Yan Jin are the sons of the crown prince, while the second prince and the sixth prince are the sons of the concubines." Mu Cang explained calmly, "Before Jiang Yi went to the Jin Kingdom, the deposed prince already had He had four sons, and after the princess was exterminated, he and his four sons were imprisoned in the palace, losing their power and freedom. It is easy to imagine their fate that they can live a prosperous life today, all because of Jiang Yi. "
"If they knew how to be grateful, Jiang Yi's hard work over the years would have been in vain." Yan Li nodded slowly, "However, with Jiang Yi's temperament, she was willing to marry an abandoned prince and become the stepmother of four children. Love doesn’t matter much.”
The deposed prince has a gentle and kind temperament, which is easy to control, and the possibility of falling out after he ascends the throne is very small.
Perhaps this was the reason why Emperor Zhaocheng and Jiang Yi chose to help him...or rather, choose him as a cooperative ally.
"From the perspective of the family and the country, Jiang Yi is a meritorious person with good courage, vision, and broad-mindedness, which is admirable." Yan Li said lightly, "From the perspective of Yan Li's identity, she is derelict in her duties as a mother. All Yan Li's sufferings stem from her leaving."
A deep look flashed across Mu Cang's eyebrows, and his voice was as indifferent as water: "The emperor spent fifteen years playing a game of chess. His goal is not only the Jin Kingdom, but the King of Western Xinjiang should also be part of his plan."
Yan Li was silent for a moment, thinking of the King of Western Xinjiang whom Nanny An had mentioned before, and now she understood why Jiang Yi could not come back to meet her daughter for more than ten years.
After all, even the marriage was carried out in secret. No one knew about it except Emperor Zhaocheng and Jiang Yi - they even used the excuse of dying in childbirth as an excuse to leave the country of Mu.
Moreover, strictly speaking, they are not considered a marriage at all.
At most, it can only be said that Emperor Zhaocheng used Jiang Yi's hand to play a game of chess in the Jin Dynasty.
Yan Li raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "As a king of a country, the emperor's patience in planning is also quite impressive."
Mu Cang hummed and said nothing more.
Tonight should obviously be the wedding night for the two of them.
At this time, there was no charming atmosphere in the new house. Instead, it seemed like two kings were discussing important matters of family and country, and jointly planning for the country, the country, and the country. There was a bit of relaxation and leisure in the solemnity. M.
"Jiang Yi is a smart and courageous woman." Yan Li smiled faintly, "But since she can treat the four princes as her own, why would she have such bold and adventurous ideas?"
"The Southern Kingdom is the most respected among the nine kingdoms in the world, but the princes and princesses of the Southern Kingdom have the right to inherit. The kings and dignitaries of other countries have some thoughts of imitating it." Mu Cang said lightly, "However, men are not willing to give up power easily, and the princes are even less willing to do so. Let the princess get a share of the pie, so no country can successfully follow the example of the Southern Kingdom."
The status of women in the South is higher than that of other countries, and the economy and military strength of the South are also stronger than those of other countries.
Therefore, many sages believe that the strength of the Southern Kingdom is due to the king's open-mindedness and tolerance towards women.
Other countries can definitely learn from the system of the South.
However, the intrigues between the princes of various countries are inherently cruel. If another princess is involved, the competition will only become more difficult.
Men do not want women to have the opportunity to dominate them.
So no one has succeeded in imitating it so far.
Yan Li leaned on the bedside in silence, with deep thoughts on her face: "This generation of queens from the Jin Kingdom is in power. If they really want to imitate the Southern Kingdom's system, this is indeed an opportunity."
The power lies in the hands of the queen, and the queen herself is a woman.
Yan Li is her only biological bloodline.
If she is determined to make her daughter the next leader of the Jin Kingdom, she can probably do it.
Of course, the final result depends on Yan Li's wishes.
"The four princes probably won't agree." Yan Li smiled casually, "The Emperor of Jin and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs will not compromise easily."
No matter how kind they are, there are some bottom lines that cannot be violated.
If the four princes of Jin knew that their beloved mother came to Mu not only to recognize their daughter, but also to take her back to Jin to take power, I wonder if they could still respect her so much.
Yan Li leaned against the bedside quietly, her cold and picturesque eyebrows slightly lowered, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.
Power does matter.
If the emperor has no real power, he is equivalent to a puppet. He cannot take charge of major affairs of the government. Even if a treacherous villain is in charge, he will be powerless.
As we all know, women are easily emotional.
In fact, Xihe originally disagreed with this point. She felt that women were just suppressed, not without talent.
But there is one fact that cannot be refuted.
Most women who grew up under the system of male superiority and female inferiority have the concept of respecting their husbands, so they naturally think that they are dependent on their husbands.
There are very few who dare to break the secular concept and challenge the male superiority.
Whether Queen Jiang really has ambitions or because Emperor Wen is grateful and weak, Yan Li really admires her.
Admire her courage and boldness, admire her intelligence and decisiveness.
Of course, this admiration is only based on the other party's ability and courage, and has nothing to do with blood.
The female official walked into the room and knelt down to salute: "Your Majesty, Princess, the meal is ready."
"Bring it in."
"Yes."
The maids came in one after another with trays, on which were placed all kinds of delicious dishes just out of the pot, bowls, plates, and cups, and all kinds of exquisite decorations were arranged on the table one by one, with color, fragrance and taste.
Mu Cang took Yan Li's hand, and they stood up and walked to the table and sat down.
Mu Cang was just handing her the chopsticks when a loud voice suddenly rang out from outside: "The Emperor has arrived! The Queen of Jin has arrived——"
