As soon as Bai Congjian's words fell, Mu Bairan's face turned pale. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

No matter what the master thought, Mu Bairan couldn't figure out how the master could bear to burn the lotus pond in the back mountain.

First, it will offend the Xiang family.

Second, it was a relic left by Bai Congjian's biological mother, Princess Danyang.

He was silent, and after half a sound, he muttered, "Master, I don't understand. ”

If the lotus pond in the back mountain is set on fire, the surrounding houses will inevitably be burned down as well.

No matter how you look at this matter, it will do more harm than good to the Bai family.

Could it be that the master has already compromised in his heart?

Or is it something else?

"I don't light the fire, the Nine Princes don't light the fire, and someone will light the fire later. Rather than someone else to light the fire, it is better for me to do it myself. Bai Congjian said, "The White Horse Temple has been able to be stable in the capital for many years, and it is indeed sheltered by the family in secret." Your Majesty is determined to punish me and the Xiang family this time, if you don't light the fire, the prince is afraid that it will be dangerous. ”

Emperor Wan Qi doesn't like Xiangjia, but he doesn't want to do anything to Xiangjia, the only thing he can do now is to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger. In fact, this time Emperor Wanqi asked the Nine Princes to do this, which was also a very smart choice.

Regardless of whether the matter succeeds or fails, it is a matter for the Nine Princes, the Xiang family, and Bai Congjian.

Even if Xiang Jia knew that it was he who instructed the Nine Princes to act, Xiang Jia could only be suspicious, and there was no definite evidence at all.

"Your Majesty wants me to light a fire, and if I lose my word, Your Majesty will think of other ways to humiliate/humiliate me. Zhou You'an said lightly, "He has never let go of those resentments in the past." ”

Back then, although Emperor Wentai liked Emperor Wanqi Zhou Youming very much as the crown prince, Emperor Wanqi was not as powerful as Zhou Youan, the ninth prince, especially in governing the country, Zhou Youan always had unique insights. Emperor Wentai began to hesitate, whether he wanted to choose his favorite queen and give birth to the crown prince for himself. It is still necessary to choose an ordinary concubine and give birth to a child for herself - Zhou Youan.

Emperor Wentai may not have thought of how to choose until the moment he died.

It's just that at that time, Emperor Wentai was still partial to the prince.

One day, he asked Zhou Youming, who was still the prince, to sit in the seat under Zhou Youan.

Obviously, this is inconsistent with the etiquette system of Da Chu.

Emperor Wentai is the emperor, he didn't speak, and Zhou You'an, who was on the side, didn't dare to speak.

Emperor Wen Tai said, "If you don't know how to move forward, in the future, I will let you sit in the same position, forever." ”

When Zhou Youming heard this, his face was very ugly.

Although Zhou Youming was very uncomfortable in his heart, after all, he had been a prince for many years, and of course he knew the word forbearance. He hid his jealousy and anger towards Zhou Youan in the depths of his heart, and held back.

"You are brothers. Emperor Wen Tai continued, "Although you are the elder brother, you should also have more dealings with your ninth brother. This way, you know where your shortcomings and weaknesses are. ”

Emperor Wentai said these words from the bottom of his heart.

He really wants his two sons to be well.

Although Emperor Wentai is not a wise man, he is also known as shrewd.

He hopes that Zhou Youming will become a generation of Ming Jun after being stimulated by this. It's just that he guessed one step wrong, the emperor's seat can only accommodate the next person forever.

And once he ascended the throne and became an emperor, that person was eternal loneliness and boundless suspicion.

Zhou Youming is a very suspicious and jealous person, plus he is indeed inferior to Zhou You'an, the younger brother, in everything, and his heart is even more humble to the extreme.

Therefore, Emperor Wentai later hurt Zhou Youan.

At that time, after Zhou Youming listened, he immediately nodded, "Thank you for your father's teachings, today's father's words, your sons must take them to heart." ”

Zhou Youming did not break his promise, he did remember it in his heart, and he still remembered it afterward.

Even after ascending the throne for many years, Zhou Youming, who is the Emperor of Wanqi, still does not forget to humiliate Zhou You'an as a prince from time to time.

"This fire, you have to ignite it. Zhou Youan thought of the past, and his expression was a little confused, "It's just that my master and I have to be injured." In this way, His Majesty can temporarily dissipate his anger and also preserve the White Horse Temple. ”

Mu Bairan frowned, "How to keep it?"

"Externally, I lit the fire because I had a conflict with my master, and I wanted his life. Zhou Youan took a deep breath, "The master will be injured in this fire." And I, too, will be punished by God for igniting the fire, so I will be devoured on myself, and the injury will be worse than that of the master. In this way, the people will know that God still has eyes, and the bad guys will still be punished. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Youan smiled.

In this scene, he is always playing the bad guy, not the prince who worries about the country and the people.

In the past, when he compromised, he knew that he would be where he is today, but he didn't expect it to be so miserable.

Zhou Youan smiled, but it was more pitiful than crying.

If you want to preserve the White Horse Temple, this is the only way.

Only when the monks in the White Horse Temple are stable, the monks in the capital will not be affected by the disaster of blood.

He couldn't help it.

There is no way, there is no way out, so Zhou Youan, who is the prince and older than Bai Congjian, can only bow his head and hope that Bai Congjian can help him.

For the sake of the love of the princess of Danyang in the past.

"Let the little master get hurt?" Mu Bairan heard this, and immediately raised his voice again, "No." ”

Zhou Youan immediately explained, "You don't need to be really injured, you just need to say that you are injured." The master's body...... Actually......"

In fact, you don't need to pretend, you can see a sick and weak look.

"What about you?" Mu Bairan said, "Your Majesty believes that the young master is injured, but he may not necessarily believe that you are also injured." ”

After all, Emperor Wan Qi hated Zhou You'an from the bottom of his heart.

Emperor Wan Qi will definitely let people come to visit.

Zhou Youan replied, "I will really be injured, and it will be very serious." I'm injured, Ah Zhuo will definitely worry about me, and if his old illness returns, he will have to ask Dr. Mu for help. ”

After speaking, Zhou Youan stood up, bent down to Mu Bairan, and saluted with both hands.

"I entrust you and Ah Zhuo's lives. ”

Although Mu Bairan didn't like Zhou You'an, he was still a little uneasy by his sudden salute. After half a ring, he said, "When, do you remember this person?" You ......"

Mu Bairan didn't continue, but sighed.

In Mu Bairan's memory, Zhou Youan was an extremely smart person.

Back then, Zhou Youan often guided Princess Danyang, otherwise Princess Danyang would have gone crazy after having a miscarriage many times.

How could such a smart person become like this.

Mu Bairan's gaze moved to Zhou Youan's feet, and asked again, "Then your legs, do you also need to be treated?"

"Legs?" Zhou You'an was a little surprised by Mu Bairan's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "No need, anyway, they are used to me being a cripple." ”

Mu Bairan stopped talking.

He didn't know how Zhou You'an was lame, but he could guess the approximate reason. (To be continued.) )
