Chapter 346: Hesitation

Mr. Yuan knocked heavily on the table with the folding fan in his hand a few times:

"If they see that the person they are not pleasing to the eye today and want to replace it, then in the future, if they look at the chosen person again and do not like it, will they not replace it again?"

They need the help of the Weibei Hou Mansion, but they are worried that they will become a big deal in the future. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

Xiao Shaotang disagreed with Mr. Yuan's last statement: "They don't look at today's person who is not pleasing to the eye, but today's person is really not pleasing to the eye." Sir, you also said earlier that the Weibei Marquis Mansion would not rebel easily, and at this time you are worried that they will change the emperor if they want to, isn't it a contradiction?"

"The Marquis of Weibei will not easily rebel, but how do you know that they will not coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes? Didn't Cao Mengde do this in the late Eastern Han Dynasty? He didn't have to bear the name of a rebel, but he could enjoy the respect of the Son of Heaven. ”

Xiao Shaotang smiled: "Sir's worry is really a bit early. Do we have to choke on food because of such concerns that have not yet happened, and refuse all suspicious help?"

"What's more......" Xiao Shaotang remembered the current situation of the Weibei Hou Mansion, and muttered: "I have intersected with the Hou Shizi of Weibei in the northwest, why was he demoted to the northwest that day? Later, I heard that his friendship with the emperor was not ordinary since childhood, and his sister was the deceased Empress Xiaoyuan, if it weren't for the emperor doing something that the Hou Mansion could not tolerate, he would definitely not be guilty of disrespecting the emperor. ”

When Mr. Yuan heard this, he thought about it carefully, and there was some truth, but if he didn't understand the intentions of the Hou Mansion, he couldn't rest assured.

"Sir, I know your difficulties, such a major event, it is also appropriate to be cautious in planning, and I am not in a hurry to form an alliance with the Hou Mansion of Weibei overnight, Mr. can investigate first, as for whether the Hou Mansion will coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes in the future, Mr. Don't worry too much, Mr. just look at how the Hou Mansion is doing today, and you will understand. ”

Xiao Shaotang also knew that Mr. Yuan inevitably had to think a little more about everything as a staff member, but thinking about Xu Chenglin's personality, he was not willing to doubt the intentions of the Weibei Hou Mansion.

Mr. Yuan thought about it carefully, but also agreed: "There is some truth in what the prince said, if the Weibei Hou Mansion had this intention back then, then as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he was in a hurry to take back the military power in the hands of the Hou Mansion, and he would definitely not be able to take it back." ”

After saying that, he sighed again: "I'm afraid that I will be forced to have no way out, just like the prince back then, the grievances of this life, he didn't say it in his heart, others looked at it, but it was ......"

Xiao Shaotang was a little distracted, father, in the northwest, and I don't know how to be difficult?

Xiao Wushuang, the king of Qin, who was missed by his son, really didn't have time to feel the unfairness he encountered in his life.

He personally rode his horse and led people to watch King Ning being escorted to the capital by a team of specially selected soldiers at the east gate of Ningzhou.

Although King Ning collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, before the emperor issued a decree to deprive him of his title, King Qin still tried to retain his dignity as a prince.

Therefore, King Ning was not chained all the way through the streets, but together with his wife and concubine, he was locked in a special prisoner car, and his face was not even revealed.

But even so, when the prisoner cart passed through the streets and left the city, the rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in the hands of the people on both sides were still thrown mercilessly.

The anger of the people was like a tidal wave, and the rickety prison cart was like a flat boat in the sea that could sink at any time.

The people of Ningzhou are on the border of Daqi, and what they want most is to live in An'an, no matter how poor it is, it will not fall into the hands of the Hu people, but it is the vassal king they support, who abandoned the people of their fiefdoms and wanted to send them to the mouth of the evil wolf!

There was silence in the prison car, except for a few occasional sobs that could be heard.

It wasn't until the dirty, foul-smelling prisoner cart left the city gate and passed by King Qin, that King Ning's scream suddenly erupted from the car.

"Uncle Qin, you must not break your word! Otherwise, I will be a ghost and I will not let you go!"

King Qin's face with the vicissitudes of wind and frost showed a trace of unbearability, and finally said: "I promised you, I will naturally do it." ”

As dusk fell, a round round sunset hung in the sky, and the northwest wind rolled up and threw down the sand and gravel on the Gobi Desert with a blazing heat.

Xiao Wushuang, the king of Qin, held a small baby in his arms and stopped a young man who was driving cattle and sheep from the Gobi Desert.

"I handed him over to you, and from now on, you will take him with you, raise him well, never return to Daqi, and don't mention any past events to him. ”

The young man wore the leather robe worn by shepherds around his waist, but his arms were bare.

Hearing this, a pair of deep eyes showed reluctance and sentimentality, but in his hand he quickly threw away the long whip that drove cattle and sheep, held the child in his arms, and looked down.

I saw that the child in his arms was not yet a year old, but a pair of black and shiny eyes were looking at him with bones, and after looking at him several times, he suddenly grinned and cried.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'll be your daddy in the future......"

The young man was not able to coax the child, so he could only coax him helplessly.

King Qin looked at him and seemed to be very patient, and gradually relieved his heart.

With a long sigh in his heart, he took out a jade pendant from his arms and hung it around the child's neck.

"Take him away, never come back......"

In the past, he felt that it was a great honor to be born in the royal family, but after half a life, he could only sigh, why bother to be born in the emperor's family!

If one person is convicted, the whole family is implicated, and the adults are just that, how innocent are the children.

"Your Highness, the villain is gone, in the future, Your Highness will take care of yourself. ”

The young man knelt down with the child in his arms and bowed, choking up and saying goodbye to his master.

In the twilight, the man who drove the cattle and sheep held the baby in his arms, walked out of the sight of the king of Qin step by step, all the way to the west and north, and never came back.

It was dark in the northwest, and it was night, taking advantage of the night, King Qin went all the way back to the camp in Ningzhou.

There were King Qin's own soldiers who walked out quickly, but there was a figure standing in the darkness on the side of the big tent, staring at King Qin who strode into the big tent in a daze, the bonfire in the camp was bright and extinguished, and occasionally shone on his face, it was Lu Dashu who had become a veteran.

From the first time he saw His Royal Highness King Qin, Lu Dashu was like a dream.

He couldn't tell whether he saw He Qi in his old age, or if the years flew by, and he didn't realize itβ€”how could there be someone so similar to He Qi in this world?

But He Qi, who didn't get along for a long time, but left a deep impression on him, has turned into a handful of ashes, and it is impossible to come back to life.

And His Royal Highness the King of Qin here is alive.

Lu Dashu, who hadn't figured it out all along, stood for a while as usual and went back.

In the big tent, General Zhenxi stretched his neck to look at the empty corner before turning back to King Qin and said, "That kid is gone!"

A wry smile appeared on King Qin's face: "This is really ...... It's the first time that I've been stared at like a thief by my subordinates every day. ”

General Zhenxi snorted coldly: "Who let your good son be a good and decent Yuzhou, and come to the army to do it! Now it's not just him, there are more people staring at you, your son was in the limelight in the army at the beginning, and killing the enemy is the same as you, just like chopping melons and vegetables, in this world, there is really no father and son like you!"

"That's why I sent him to the capital, otherwise if I stay here, I don't know how much trouble I will cause. By the way, I heard that Bai Bingxiong, the leader of the reinforcements from Yuzhou, is a brave general, where is he deployed now?"

In his busy schedule, King Qin did not forget the letter that his son entrusted someone to write to him.

If his son can really hold a beauty, this Bai Bingxiong will be his in-laws.

"I arranged him in Ganzhou. After a little thought, General Zhenxi remembered who this person was.

"Speaking of which, this is really a tough character, all the way to the east and west, everywhere to suppress bandits, it is said that the bandits in two places in Shaanxi and Yuzhou heard his name, it was simply frightened, you see how many bandit nests around Daqi, only Yuzhou and Shaanzhou are the cleanest, are the credit of this person, but unfortunately, this person is not from a high background, there is no way, he has been fighting and killing for decades, and he is still a general, two months ago, caught up with the imperial court to suppress the nest of bandits in Qianyan Mountain in Shaanxi, only then he was caught by the opportunity, and he was crowned from the third product of the Dingyuan general. Ganzhou is also an important land, and I am still relieved to hand it over to him. ”

King Qin nodded again and again when he heard this, and his expression couldn't hide his admiration: "I have heard about the bandits in Ningzhou in Qianyan Mountain, which shows their fierceness, but this Bai Bingxiong can end a nest, and he is also a general!

General Zhenxi smiled, stroked his gray beard on his chin, and smiled meaningfully: "I haven't seen him for many years, but His Royal Highness King Qin has changed his temperament and has learned to please people." ”

King Qin was serious: "This favor must be begged." ”

Yuzhou, Bai family.

Li took Bai Chenghuan's recent letter in his hand and read it again and again, and finally called his son and showed him the letter.

"Your sister thinks that the situation in the capital is not very good now, even if she is famous in the exam, if she changes the world, it will be troublesome at that time...... What do you think?"

Li is not an ordinary woman without knowledge, whether it is from the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages or from the analysis of her daughter, her daughter's suggestion is very pertinent.

Bai Xianghuan worked weekdays, in order to be named on the gold list, to be able to glorify his ancestors, and fight for his family.

But after the loss, he remembered what he had seen and heard these days, and he had to admit that his mother and sister's concerns were justified.

"When my son came back from the county school yesterday, he heard that several farmers in the neighboring village outside the city had already fought several armed battles because of the competition for water, and countless people were killed and injured. It is said that if the crops in the fields are not watered, they will all die by the time of the autumn harvest, and the whole family will starve to death...... Besides, my son also heard that because the border has been fighting, and the imperial court is building a soul platform, I am afraid that the tax will be increased by 30% this autumn......

Hearing his son's words, the Li family was also worried: "Yes, our family's Zhuangzi is also short of water now, although those tenants carry water every day to water, but in the end it is useless, I still think that if this year's drought continues, I will simply not collect rent at that time, otherwise, isn't it forcing people to die?"

"It's a pity that the government doesn't have such a kind heart as my mother now, and the people who will be forced by that time will be too ruthless, and I am afraid that there will be a riot. ”

Bai Xianghuan has been ridiculed and ridiculed by his sister several times since his sister got better, and he is no longer studying like before, and his heart has been evacuated a lot because of his sister's crazy and stupid knots.

This is the case in any dynasty and generation, when the government forces the people to rebel, the people have to rebel.

"If that's the case, why don't we go to Beijing to meet her according to what my sister said, and see how she is doing in Beijing, so as not to be bullied and used. ”

Bai Xianghuan quickly made a decision.

When he thought of Bai Chenghuan's sister in his spare time, he was both worried and self-blaming.

Even though she was suddenly well, she was just a sixteen-year-old girl, not to mention, in the first sixteen years, she was also completely ignorant and crazy.

He was not a good brother in the past, but he wants to work hard to be a good brother in the future.

Li was very relieved to hear it, she was born in this life, only this son and a daughter, if they can understand each other and support each other, then she will not have any heart disease.

Just thinking of her husband who was still far away at the border, Li hesitated in his heart.

"Your father doesn't know what to do at the border, if we all go to the capital, it's too far away. ”

Bai Xianghuan didn't think so.

"But we are staying in Yuzhou like this, and we can't go to my father, and my sister is still alone in the capital, in the face of all kinds of things, we always have to take care of one thing. ”

Bai Xianghuan actually regretted a little, why did he not follow his father to learn martial arts in the first place, if he knew martial arts, he could also go to the northwest to help his father at this time.

Li naturally understands this truth, but he is still a little hesitant in his heart.

"You go first, let my mother think about it again. ”

When Bai Xianghuan walked out of the main courtyard, Xiaocai, who went to see him off, ran back quickly and went straight to the Li family.

"Madam, Miss is alone in the capital now, what is wrong with it, since she has written back, then maybe something has happened, if you are here, you can also give some ideas to the eldest lady. ”

Xiaocai said very sincerely: "The slave maid used to be in the old master's house, and the most important thing in my daughter's family is reputation, and a mistake will be ruined in this life. ”

Outside the window, Xiaoying pouted disdainfully.

Having said so much, isn't it because she wants to go to the capital to see the excitement?

If according to her meaning, the eldest lady is now in the Weibei Hou Mansion, no matter how noble she is, she is under the fence, if the family is all hula la, I don't know how difficult it is for the eldest lady to do it!
