Chapter 294 Apologize in Person

Emperor Wen closed his eyes, as if asleep.

But Concubine De knew that he was not sleeping.

He has always been like this recently, as if he is too tired to even say anything, and he is too lazy to think about important government affairs, leaving everything to Jiang Yi.

Concubine De couldn't even tell whether this attitude meant extreme love, so she allowed her to be in power because she still had extreme trust, knowing that she wouldn't mess around.

But no matter whether he loved Jiang Yi deeply or trusted Jiang Yi, the four princes and ministers were not happy to see him.

"Your Majesty." Concubine De put the medicine bowl aside and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief. "If the Queen Sister wants to make Li'er the eldest princess, does Your Majesty think it's okay?"

The eldest princess?

Emperor Wen slowly opened his eyes and felt a little dull: "You mean, the queen wants to make Li'er the eldest princess?"

Concubine De nodded: "Yes. Although there is no such precedent in the history of Jin State, the queen loves her daughter very much, so it should be okay to make an exception."

Emperor Wen was silent for a long time before slowly nodding: "It's really nothing. After all, this is the first time in history that the Queen has been regent."

Concubine De's smile paused slightly, and then she said softly: "I am just worried that it will cause dissatisfaction among the civil and military officials of the court."

"What's wrong with being dissatisfied?" Emperor Wen closed his eyes and sneered a little tiredly, "The world is so big, it's just the king's land. I and the queen want to give the best to our daughter, who dares to be dissatisfied?"

"The emperor said so."

"Besides, the emperor has robbed this country for me. It is natural for her to share some of the things she robbed with her daughter." Emperor Wen said, suddenly frowning, "But the four princes have not been titled so far, so they should It’s time to get serious.”

Concubine De's heart skipped a beat: "Your Majesty wants to knight the four princes?"

Emperor Wen didn't make a sound, as if he fell asleep again. After a while, he said: "I will discuss this matter with the Queen."

Concubine De tightened her handkerchief, and the smile on her lips was a bit nervous: "Then...does the Emperor have a candidate in mind for the heir apparent?"

Emperor Wen said calmly: "This is not your responsibility."

Concubine De's expression changed, and she quickly stood up and knelt down: "I deserve to die, my concubine."

"I want to sleep for a while, please kneel down."

"Yes." Concubine De lowered her eyebrows and said, "Concubine, please leave."

…

After the palace banquet was over, Jiang Yi asked Yan Li and Ling Ning to go to Shuhuang Palace together.

The Jin palace is majestic and majestic, with row upon row of pavilions and palaces. Long corridors connect the palace, and the buildings with carved dragons and painted phoenixes demonstrate their supreme and noble status everywhere.

"It's been a hard journey all this way, right?"

"Fortunately, it's not too hard." Yan Li pondered, still thinking about what happened just now, "Do the ministers in the Jin Dynasty also have their own factions?"

"Yes." Jiang Yi nodded slowly, "When the princes grow up, they all have their own ideas. If the ministers want to have a prosperous career, they must choose the person who is most likely to ascend to the throne to support them in order to protect their future. Prosperity and wealth.”

No matter how powerful Jiang Yi is, she is just a woman. In the hearts of these Jin officials, it is unfair for a woman to hold power.

What's more, the four princes are all adults, and establishing a heir apparent is something they must face.

Yan Li said calmly: "What's the position of the tutor just now?"

"His attitude has always been to establish the eldest son as the heir." Jiang Yi said in a calm voice, "It's not necessarily that he has any selfish motives, but he is too rigid and doesn't know how to adapt. He is the one who insists on establishing the eldest son, and insists that men should be women. He is also the person who believes that women must be inferior and cannot surpass men, otherwise it will mess up Tsuna, which is simply ridiculous. "

The corridors of the palace were deep, and people coming and going from the palace knelt down to salute respectfully. They did not get up and leave until the queen left.

Jiang Yi said calmly: "Perhaps I should be glad that the emperor encountered changes in the past. Otherwise, with Shangguan Taifu's teaching attitude, this emperor would probably still treat women as objects that can be disposed of at will, just like the founding ancestors of the Jin Dynasty."

If it hadn't been for that incident, there wouldn't have been the friendship of Jiang Yi coming to tide over the difficulties with him.

Emperor Wen was the crown prince at the beginning, and there was no doubt that he would be taught by the Taifu to succeed as a "qualified emperor". Until he ascended the throne and became emperor, he would repeat the idea that men were superior to women in previous kings.

Women in Jin will have no future.

"There are nine countries in the world, and most of the other countries have men superior to women, but no one has ever said the words "women are inferior" like these men in Jin, and they want to emphasize the inferiority of women from morning to night. Constantly suppressing their dignity, making women think that they are born to be men's vassals, unable to resist, unable to have their own emotions, and living a worthless life." Yan Li frowned, "Being a tutor who teaches the emperor does this. When this kind of thing is taken as the truth, you can imagine how pitiful the women in this country will be.”

Jiang Yi raised her lips slightly: "This is why I want you to come to Jin. With your ability, I believe this situation can be completely reversed."

Yan Li was silent for a moment, and his voice was calm and calm: "How can concepts that have been passed down for hundreds of years be changed overnight? What's more, this world is still a man's world for the time being, and just one person can shake what they hold on to. It’s difficult.”

"Yeah." Jiang Yi nodded in agreement, "It's indeed difficult."

"But many things are not really impossible." Yan Li smiled faintly, "As long as you know how to use power, things that seem to be impossible can be easily accomplished."

Jiang Yi was waiting for this sentence: "I believe you can do it."

Yan Li glanced at her and thought of Jiang Yi's conversation the day before leaving Mu Country. She almost let Jiang Yi know the fact that her daughter was no longer alive in a cruel and straightforward way.

But after meeting again, Jiang Yi still treated her as his biological daughter, as if the conversation had never happened.

Speaking of this, she thought of the women who were about to arrive in Shengjing with the Kang family, and said, "This time, the women in Kang Zixu's backyard will be brought to the capital."

Jiang Yi was slightly surprised: "You brought them all here?"

Yan Li hummed: "Although the Kang family has fallen, these women are all innocent victims. Their innocence may not be guaranteed. If you let them go home rashly, there is a high chance that they will be criticized by others."

Jiang Yi pondered for a moment, and a look of relief appeared on his face: "I think you did a good job."

"How to place these women is an issue that needs to be considered now." Yan Li said, "I want to open an academy in Shengjing so that they can study first."

Jiang Yi looked at her in surprise.

"I have learned before that most of these women have read some books, but not many." Yan Li said calmly, "If they are willing, they can continue to study and become literate. With some knowledge, they can learn medical skills and become medical women in the future."

Jiang Yi was silent: "Li'er, what you said is really not what a little girl who has lived in the house for a long time would say."

These words sounded very ordinary, and there was nothing to brag about. They showed no ability to manage the world, and no grand strategy.

But issues that are simply considered by ordinary little girls are not things that a girl in a purdah can think of.

In Jiang Yi's impression, those noble ladies from aristocratic families gathered together to compare their family backgrounds, talents, looks, or to show off what treasures they had got in the family.

Of course, the most common thing is to discuss marriage issues quietly in private, or even discuss some disputes between wives and concubines.

The more she gets to know Yan Li, the more Jiang Yi feels that this daughter is unusual. Once she understands many things with her heart, she will feel that she is really a careful and thoughtful person, as if she has a plan in her mind and is capable of containing all the people in the world.

Jiang Yi couldn't help but think deeply, what kind of secrets was hidden in her body?
