Chapter 150: Protection

Wei Qingfei is one year older than Baili Yanqing, she is fourteen this year, and she will only be married next year, and the wedding date is just set for the end of the year.

Baili Yanhui is only twelve years old now, and she will be able to marry in three years, two years later than Wei Qingfei. However, Baili Yanqing is not in a hurry, the Tang family is still useful to Emperor Xia Hui, plus how the four princes are also the blood of Emperor Xia Hui, the Wei family is Emperor Xia Huidi's henchmen, and Emperor Xia Hui will not tolerate the Wei family killing his son.

Therefore, the four princes are still safe for the time being, but the four princes have the same temperament, and I don't know how Wei Qingfei will treat them, Baili Yanqing is very worried that the four princes will be wronged.

Although the fourth prince is her fourth prince, after several years of acquaintance and getting along, in Baili Yanqing's heart, she has long regarded the four princes as younger brothers.

Now the four princes have been engaged, but none of them are married, there are still variables in between, if the man is dead, the woman may be carrying the reputation of Kefu, and the woman is dead, the man has to choose another wife, but because of the reason for the marriage of the holy decree, the woman's family can choose another daughter to marry.

Of course, if you are killed, it is also quite a risky thing to do, unless it is not discovered.

On this day, Mo Yan came back from the White Horse Temple and arrived at Qinlan Temple.

Baili Yanqing asked Chunmiao to serve tea to Mo Yan, and the sister and brother also sat together and chatted, although Mo Yan often lived in Baili Mansion, but he often went to the White Horse Temple to learn swords from Mo Lao, and also to learn from Master Huineng.

So now Mo Yan doesn't have to go to school in Baili Mansion, but in this way, Baili Yanqing has less time to meet Mo Yan even in Baili Mansion.

"Mo Yan, what are your plans for the future?" Baili Yanqing asked.

Mo Yan smiled at Baili Yanqing and said, "Grandfather wants me to take the imperial examination." ”

Baili Yanqing paused. Does Baili Kong have arrangements for Mo Yan? I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, Mo Yan was a guest in Baili Mansion. Bailikong has raised Mo Yan as his grandson in the past few years, but Mo Yan's future road does not need to be arranged by Bailikong.

And listen to Mo Yan. As if the hundred miles of empty space had already decided, this was not right.

"What does the master say?" What does Mo Lao think there?

"The master didn't say anything." Mo Yan shook his head.

At that moment, Baili Yanqing's brows furrowed, and she thought for a while before looking at Mo Yan, "Mo Yan, you said that grandfather wouldn't know something, or the master told him." ”

Baili Yanqing then remembered that Bailikong's attitude towards Mo Yan was becoming more and more unusual, and even Baili Wen's grandson was not as important as Mo Yan.

This is wrong, Baili Kong is very sorry that he did not personally raise Baili Chenghui. When Baili Wenji was born, Baili Yanqing even heard Baili Kong say that he would take Baili Wenji with him to raise him.

But look at it now, Baili Wen Jidu is nine years old, but he was not brought up by Baili Kong, and he was only put into the clan school to receive education from the clan. And Bailikong is more attentive to Mo Yan, and only by cultivating Mo Yan as his own grandson will Baili Kong be so attentive.

"No, grandpa asked the old man, but the old man didn't say. He's very tight-mouthed, and if I hadn't seen you at the beginning, the old man wouldn't have told me. Mo Yan shook his head, thinking that it was impossible. But Bailikong was indeed very good to him. And a few years have passed, and Bailikong does not personally raise his grandson, but attaches importance to his upbringing. This is indeed unjustifiable.

Mo Yan has always been smart, and he guessed something. But I still don't think it's possible. Only my sister and the old man knew about this matter. And his mask is also well worn, except for the last mistake that his sister saw, he has never made a mistake again, and grandpa will not be able to find out.

"If the master doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that my grandfather won't know, my grandfather has always been smart, so he must have guessed something." Baili Yanqing is very sure of authenticity.

"No, then why doesn't he recognize me." Mo Yan said dissatisfied.

Baili Yanqing could only say: "How can grandfather recognize you, my mother is dead in everyone's eyes, but there is a mother's tomb on the ancestral grave of Baili Mansion." If your grandfather recognizes you at this time, the Cui family's side and the palace will have to give an explanation, and even if the Cui family jumps off the wall in a hurry, your life will also be in danger. ”

"I'm not afraid of them." Mo Yan snorted softly.

"It's not that I'm not afraid, the power of the Cui family is too great, Wenchen is headed by Prime Minister Cui Cheng, and there is a queen mother who has been rooted in the palace for many years, and all the emperors take care of it. I also want you to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors as soon as possible, but not now, and I can't let them know that my mother is still alive. Baili Yanqing clenched her fists, now she is just herself, and she is being stared at.

If others knew that Mo Yan was Tang Qing's son and the eldest grandson of Baili Mansion, with this relationship, Baili Mansion would not be trusted by Emperor Xia Hui.

After all, she is a daughter, and she will not be guarded against to any extent, but if Mo Yan wants to appear, it will be different.

"I don't want to recognize my ancestors now, hmph, I have to call that woman my mother, I can't call it." Mo Yan said, "Sister, don't worry about me, when the time comes, I will participate in the imperial examination and become famous, no one will look down on me, I will still protect you." ”

Baili Yanqing smiled slightly, understanding Mo Yan, Mo Yan has always disliked Cui Yingying, if he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, now Cui Yingying is Baili Chenghui's stepwife, and it is certain to call his mother. And if there is no Cui Yingying, Baili Chenghui will marry again, before she gets married, Baili Yanqing doesn't want Cui Yingying to hang up so soon, after all, if Cui Yingying dies, she still has to keep filial piety for Cui Yingying.

"The imperial examination is divided into Wenju and Wuju, does your grandfather let you take the Wenju or Wuju." Baili Yanqing asked, the Great Xia Kingdom was originally fought by soldiers and horses, and now that the Great Xia Kingdom has been established, it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the world. The Great Xia Kingdom attaches great importance to the Wenju, but also because the Four Kingdoms are eyeing each other, and the emperors of the Great Xia Kingdom want to unify the five countries, and the martial arts have also received great attention, so not to mention the Great Xia Kingdom, it is the other four countries, and they also pay equal attention to both civil and military affairs.

"Grandpa, this is asking me to take the Wenju exam, but I'm more interested in martial arts." Mo Yan said.

Baili Yanqing couldn't help asking, "Grandfather is a cabinet minister, and it is understandable that he wants you to take the road of official career, and if you are at the top of the high school list, it will not be difficult to enter the cabinet in the future." Then what do you want to do after taking the martial arts exam, become a general in the future, and defend the country. ”

The head of Baili Mansion has always inherited the position of the patriarch, and the power of the cabinet is the son of Baili Mansion, and those who are capable live in it. Therefore, the various families also entered the cabinet through the Wenju, and Bailikong was because he was young when he inherited the position of the patriarch, and he went to the top of the imperial examination and successfully became a cabinet minister.

It doesn't mean that as long as you pass the imperial examination, you can enter the cabinet. This is just a test of the power of a cabinet for the children of the eight great families. And it is quite strict, only the sons of the eight great families can do so, Bailiyun also participated in the imperial examination at the beginning, but he was only a jinshi, and he was not as outstanding as Bailikong, plus Bailikong was favored by the first emperor, and now he has the trust of Emperor Xia Hui. It is not easy for Bailiyun to fight for rights from Bailikong.

Baili Chengsong is excellent, but it is not so good that it surpasses Baili Kong, it just means that among the children of this generation, Baili Chengsong is the best.

And Baili Chenghui is unreliable, Baili Kong no longer puts hope on his children, and his eyes have fallen on his grandchildren. The appearance of Mo Yan gave Baili Kong a lot of hope, although Baili Wenxiu is also good, but Baili Wenxiu is a concubine, and Baili Wenji is also smart, but his health is not good.

In this way, Mo Yan can be literate and martial, and he is the next generation of heirs of Bailikong, and Bailikong does not cultivate Mo Yan to cultivate anyone.

"Why can't you be a general, didn't my sister think about supporting the four princes to take the throne." Mo Yan whispered in Baili Yanqing's ear, "Although I didn't enter the palace, among these princes, I want to think about it, and the most reassuring thing is to let the four princes take the throne." ”

Baili Yanqing couldn't help laughing when she saw Mo Yan's careful appearance, and nodded, not afraid to let Mo Yan know that she did have the heart of the fourth prince to take the throne.

Now that Emperor Xia Hui is in his prime, it is no good to participate in the succession too early, and Baili Yanqing feels that there is nothing wrong with the four princes being like this now. And the fourth prince now has the mind of seven or eight years old, and it seems that he can still inherit and grow up, and after a few years and ten years, the fourth prince will return to normal, and at that time, she has also cultivated her own power.

As long as she finds the power of the old Tang family, and with Mo Yan's help, the four princes may not be without the possibility of fighting.

"Mo Yan, the four princes will be out of the palace in the near future, you go to the Ning Wangfu to protect the four princes." Baili Yanqing said that Mo Yan's identity cannot be exposed now, and now that Mo Yan is thirteen years old, Baili Yanqing wants to let Mo Yan go to Ning Wangfu to be a personal guard for the four princes, and only Mo Yan is the most suitable.

The four princes are now their hope, and Baili Yanqing doesn't want the four princes to make any mistakes.

"It's not good, if I really want to help the four princes, I will either take the martial arts or the road of Wenju, and I can only do it if I have the emperor's favor. If I go to the side of the four princes, I will not get the emperor's favor, let the boy protect the four princes. Mo Yan thought of something and smiled.

Precepts, bald little monk, Baili Yanqing thought that if the four princes were in danger, if the precepts did not kill, it would not be to be slaughtered, so she shook her head at the moment and disagreed: "The Buddhist family does not kill, and the precepts cannot protect the four princes." ”

"Why don't you kill, sister, you underestimate the precepts, that's just a pseudo-monk, eat all meat, how can anyone not kill." As soon as Mo Yan talked about the precepts, he smiled and said, "And the precepts of a little monk and the four princes together can also make people lower their mental defense." ”

"The precepts are not suitable for the prince of the northern kingdom." Baili Yanqing shook her head.

"The precepts are good." Mo Yan's opinion was firm. (To be continued......)
