Chapter 596: The White Ninety-Nine
However, Bai Xiang has been able to live forbearably for so many years, and he is not a person who will collapse after suffering a blow. He did collapse for a while, but he quickly sobered up from the collapse and began to prepare to deal with Luo Liangsheng's surprise attack, however, what surprised him even more was that the little emperor who had always been a milky yellow-mouthed child in his mind surprised him by his performance.
The little emperor locked himself in that hut and stayed with a corpse for a day and a night, and even the servants in the whole palace felt that the general situation was gone, except for a small circle that had grown up with him since childhood, and there was even a pomegranate left.
It's not that Pomegranate doesn't want to go, it's just that she knows that she has no way back.
She is a slave of the family, and since she betrayed Bai Yarou, she knows that she has nothing but staying in the palace and giving everything for her own purposes.
She is a slave, and the deed of sale is still in the Bai Xiang Mansion, even if she can escape from the palace by luck, as long as the Bai Xiang Mansion is investigated, then she will never have peace. It's okay in this palace now, at least no one dares to ask the little emperor for someone.
Even if she takes 10,000 steps back, the general king really took this country into his own hands, Bai Xiang is the sworn enemy of the general king, and she will definitely not be able to escape, and if she escapes again, at least she will not worry that the chasing soldiers like maggots on the tarsal bone will disturb the rest of her life.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the general king will not slaughter the entire palace to show his prestige. Therefore, the only thing she can do now is to pull the little emperor up from the brink of danger.
This is a great opportunity for her to successfully enter the heart of the little emperor. When he had just lost his biological mother and was facing the betrayal of his beloved woman, Pomegranate appeared. often fills the void in his heart now. Once the little emperor is finally able to get through this, Pomegranate will be able to get what she wants.
Of course, this comes with great risks, but as I said before, pomegranates have no choice.
The little emperor came out, and no one knew what was going on in the hut, only the work of the day and night. It is not enough to let the body of the Queen Mother emit a disgusting corpse stench in the cold winter.
The little emperor who walked out of the hut with Pomegranate, although he looked embarrassed, had eyes far greater than at any time in the years he had lived. Be bright and dazzling. It's just that this kind of light is completely filled with hatred, and the simplicity and kindness that he has always admired most Ruoshui have finally been completely drowned out by this hatred.
It turns out. Pomegranates are at the pinnacle of their ability to instigate people's hearts. She skillfully took advantage of the situation of the little emperor's current rebellion and separation to maximize his hatred.
Strong emotions can always make people beyond their original abilities, and they are like two people before.
As soon as the little emperor came out, he first announced that the national disaster was at the head, and the ceremony could be temporarily put aside, and the body of the queen mother would be put into the imperial mausoleum first, and the funeral ceremony would be compensated according to the corresponding specifications after the national disaster.
Secondly, the entire Janissary garrison was expanded. Include the entire capital city, so that those people who were originally sandwiched between the army of King Qin of the Great General and the Janissary army of the Imperial City. No more in fear of being completely exposed to the threat of war.
Although this move reduced the safety factor of the imperial city's defense, it won the hearts of the people, so that the people and officials of the entire capital admired and respected the little emperor for the first time.
On the contrary, Luo Liangsheng, who put them in a dangerous situation, became the rebellious ministers and thieves they criticized and criticized.
The so-called "King Qin" has been the reason for the rebellion of the rebellious ministers since ancient times, and it is just to deceive the peasants who don't know a single word, as for those who have a little bit of historical common sense, when the Daling Dynasty seems to have not suffered any threat from external forces at all, they don't believe Luo Liangsheng's reason for not being distracted at all.
When the little emperor first gathered the hearts of the people, it would be in this situation, which is a bit ironic for his life of sitting on the throne for so many years. However, he didn't have time to pay attention to these things now, because the war with his brother, whom he had admired and believed in since childhood, had just begun.
The expansion of the Praetorian Guard's guard force protected the interests of the majority of the people, but at the expense of the interests of the imperial city headed by the little emperor. However, in addition to the little emperor in the imperial city, there are nothing more than some palace servants who are not even concubines, and the only one who can speak is Concubine Ruan.
However, because of the death of the Queen Mother, Concubine Ruan, who has always been good friends with the suspect Ruoshui, will undoubtedly not escape suspicion. So her current state is basically under house arrest, and what the little emperor ultimately sacrifices is only his own interests.
However, there is another person who is also one of the victims of the little emperor's decision this time, but unlike others, he originally had the ability to reverse the situation, but in the end he weighed the pros and cons and chose to give up. That person is Bai Xiang.
As I said before, although the Praetorian Guard is a military force directly under the little emperor, it has long been in the hands of Bai Xiang. Moreover, Bai Xiang had also included his mansion in the protection of the Praetorian Guard, and the little emperor's move undoubtedly pushed him to the forefront.
At this time, once he raised objections to the will of the little emperor, he undoubtedly pushed himself directly from the cusp to the opposite side of everyone. Bai Xiang, who has controlled the government affairs of the Daling Dynasty for so many years, naturally understands the importance of the people's will when he is in power, so even if he is unwilling, he finally has to accept this fact.
He didn't want to interpret Luo Liangsheng's excuse of "King Qin", although this excuse, Luo Liangsheng was really right.
Although the situation entered an uncontrollable situation, Bai Xiang quickly adjusted his mentality. In this way, the little emperor stood in front of him, whether he was merit or demerit, it had nothing to do with him, as long as he made a loyal and patriotic appearance in peace, let Luo Liangsheng's "King Qin" excuse become a joke in the face, and by the way, he could secretly spread the news.
What's more, the individual strength of the Turks was already stronger than that of the Daling Dynasty, even if the number was smaller, if they could obtain supplies, they could still confront Luo Liangsheng's 100,000 army.
Now that the great general Wang is waving his army south, the troops on the northwest border must be weak, although the previous series of bitter battles did hit the Turkic clan deeply, but in the face of the current situation of the Daling Dynasty, there is still the strength to fight.
