After I was reborn, I became the queen mother by fortune telling

Chapter 223 The Wronged Mu Qingyuan
Jiang Yu was taken aback, wanted to attend by herself?
What envoys from Ningqiu country do you want to meet?
To be honest, she didn't really want to meet the envoys of the enemy country.

She remembered the huge map she had seen in the Library Pavilion in the palace. Standing in front of the map, Mu Qingyuan pointed to the familiar yet unfamiliar place, saying that it used to belong to the Great Xia Kingdom, but now it is in Ningxia. Qiu country is in the territory.

Ever since she was a child, Jiang Yu was told by the adults in the village that Ningqiu is an enemy country, and they cannot live together.

Only the master told Jiang Yu that there are ordinary people and even soldiers in Ningqiu Kingdom, they are no different from us, they are busy with life, toil and rest every day, and have ordinary emotions.

The reason why they became demons here is because of the instigation of the superiors.

So Jiang Yu was okay with being malicious towards that jeweler Yin Yan, but she naturally didn't like Ningqiu's envoy.

"Why doesn't Jiang Meiren speak?" Seeing Jiang Yu lost in thought, Mu Qingyuan couldn't help asking.

"The concubine was just distracted for a while." Jiang Yu lowered her head slightly.

"I know that you are from Yangzhou and don't like Ningqiu country. But since they sent people here, let's listen to what they say." Mu Qingyuan said lightly.

In fact, the Empress Dowager proposed to hold a family banquet for Ningqiu's envoys, and Mu Qingyuan was surprised.

The Empress Dowager's own son died in Ningqiu Country, so she had no choice but to recognize Mu Qingyuan as the crown prince.Although the cause of the whole incident was the queen mother, the final fact was that the queen mother's own son died.

Unexpectedly, not only did she have no grievances, but because of the marriage of a princess from the royal family of Ningqiu Kingdom who married into the palace as a concubine nearly a hundred years ago, she proposed to hold a family banquet to entertain the envoys of Ningqiu Kingdom.

"The Ai family also knew that the reason for the envoy's visit this time was mainly because the border between the two countries has not yet been settled. The Ai family invited him to be a guest and treated him first with courtesy." The queen mother explained.

For a moment, Mu Qingyuan didn't know why the queen mother came so excitedly, and proposed to entertain the guests with a family banquet, but he always refused to refute the queen mother's words, and this time was no exception.

"Just do what the Queen Mother says." Mu Qingyuan nodded.

The queen mother actually went to organize this banquet in person, and even the menu of the day was checked by the queen mother.

Although Mu Qingyuan felt a little strange, it was reasonable.

Inviting Jiang Yu to participate, it is true that there is no suitable concubine in the palace anymore.

Picking and picking, in the end it was Jiang Meiren's status that was respected.

However, after Gao Yi told him about it, he was quite happy.

It's just that Jiang Yu was not very interested, and he could understand it, so he patiently explained to her.

"The map that the emperor showed his concubine..." Jiang Yu couldn't help but mention it.

Mu Qingyuan smiled slightly: "I know you think of that map, and I think of it too."

"When that piece of land was finally assigned to Ningqiu State, many people in Yangzhou cried. Their hometowns where they lived for generations disappeared, and their relatives and friends became foreigners. Some people's ancestral graves are even in Ningqiu State."

Mu Qingyuan was silent for a while: "Your experience is more direct than mine."

"At that time, people in Yangzhou were rumored that this decree was not made by the previous emperor, but by the emperor who supervised the country for his father. Is this true?"

Hearing these calm and cold words, Mu Qingyuan raised his deep black eyes in surprise, and looked at the seemingly delicate and delicate girl standing in front of him.

With this sentence, Jiang Yu in her previous life wanted to ask Mu Qingyuan.

But at that time, she felt that there was no need to ask, and she had no obsession to know the truth.

And never had the chance to ask this sentence.

Now, she didn't know why, but she blurted out this question.

Even if Mu Qingyuan would furiously punish her because of this, she still wanted to ask clearly.

The atmosphere of silence was suffocating. After a long time, Mu Qingyuan asked indifferently: "Then what does Beauty Jiang see? Is it my will?"

"The concubine does not know, so I want to ask the emperor directly. If the emperor did not do it, the concubine will definitely tell the truth to the fathers and villagers in Yangzhou in the future, and return the emperor's innocence."

Mu Qingyuan couldn't help laughing.

He cares about public opinion, but he doesn't care about these little unofficial histories.

Three people become tigers, if someone intentionally spreads rumors, the false ones will become true.

However, Jiang Meiren had always misunderstood her so much, and Mu Qingyuan felt a little wronged.

"That decree was indeed not made by the former emperor."

"Back then, the late emperor was seriously ill. It is true that someone made a decree in his name, but this person is not me."

"It's the Queen Mother."

Jiang Yu was taken aback: "The Queen Mother?"

Mu Qingyuan's thoughts went back to that time, his biological mother had just passed away, and he was immersed in grief every day.The emperor's father was seriously ill, and the queen mother did not know what to discuss with the emperor, and finally decided not to send troops to Ningqiu country, but to cede the land of Yangzhou that Ningqiu country had already occupied to Ningqiu country directly, so that the two countries could fight for each other. forever and ever.

Sure enough, the Ningqiu Kingdom withdrew its troops very quickly, and not long after, the emperor's father also passed away.

This land has indeed brought peace, but at the same time, it has also brought pain like a scar that will never heal to Daxia.

Mu Qingyuan has been secretly planning, taking advantage of the short history, how to send troops to regain the lost ground.

If after a long time, the people in that land think they are from Ningqiu, it will be even more difficult to take it back.

Unexpectedly, before he sent troops, envoys from Ningqiu Kingdom came first. One was to deliver credentials and gifts, and the other was to talk about the border issue.

Although part of the land was allocated to Ningqiu country at that time, there are still some places on the border that are unclear. Ningqiu country thinks that piece of land belongs to them, but the people on the land think they are from Daxia.However, on the map at that time, precisely because of the terrain, it was impossible to accurately identify the ownership of this area.

Therefore, the small-scale battles between the common people and the defenders of Ningqiu Kingdom have been going on, and there will be several fatal incidents every year. Since the beginning of this year, both sides have lost more than a dozen people each.

Ningqiu then sent envoys to Daxia with the purpose of solving this matter thoroughly.

"Is the emperor talking about the current queen mother?" Jiang Yu's voice brought Mu Qingyuan back from the memory.

Mu Qingyuan sighed softly: "Exactly."

Jiang Yu suddenly felt relieved all of a sudden.

She had always wondered, if it was Mu Qingyuan's will, then why did he go to fight in person, and even died of his injuries in the end.

However, Mu Qingyuan continued to sigh and said: "But, even though it was the empress dowager's intention, my father also agreed. At that time, this may be the most costly way for my father to solve this matter, but it is the fastest way to solve the problem After all, he didn't have much time at that time. If he left this issue to the young Zhen, I'm afraid that even the court would become unstable."
