Chapter 397: A 'Business Trip' to Hengyang (Part I)
As soon as I heard Shao Jingyi's name,
Yuan Ruiming subconsciously felt unhappy in his heart, but he still patiently continued to ask:
"Tell me where you're going."
"Hengyang." Bai Jingyin crossed Erlang's legs and slowly spit out these two words.
Yuan Ruiming's eyebrows frowned when he heard this,
"Hengyang? I don't remember what relatives your Bai family has in Hengyang, or do you hide from me and do something unexpected in such a distant place? ”
"Your Majesty, you think too highly of me, where can I put my hand there." Bai Jingyin's eyes flashed brightly, and he blinked slyly at Yuan Ruiming, and said meaningfully: "I do have no relatives and no reason in Hengyang, but An's hometown is in Hengyang, isn't that enough." ”
Seeing that Bai Jingyin was still thinking about An's in his heart,
Yuan Ruiming is a little not very optimistic:
"Why do you still want to make a fuss about the An family, when the rumors were overwhelming, it didn't make the couple completely break up, although they went back to their grandfather's house, they were still leaving Ling Yugui under the steps. I think you've given up on this plan, and if you continue to do it, will it be true that you really want to marry Anping to the General's Mansion? ”
"Oh roar."
Bai Jingyin leaned forward and raised his eyebrows towards Yuan Ruiming, looking intriguing.
"What do you want to say?"
"I can't see it, the emperor understands the truth of the fight at the end of the bed and the end of the bed very well. also found that even if the emperor ignored the county lord of Anping on the surface, he was actually very concerned and unwilling to really push her into the fire pit. ”
Yuan Ruiming snorted coldly,
"Anping is at least better than you to me, and if you want to enter the fire pit, you will be pushed down first."
"I'd rather lead Ling Yu to the bait myself, who doesn't like me, it's a pity."
"You even dare to say such things, Bai Jingyin, are you looking for death?"
Yuan Ruiming narrowed his eyes and said in a threatening tone.
"Okay, let's stop messing with you, let's get down to business." After Bai Jingyin had enough of making trouble, he gradually returned to seriousness. "Originally, I also heard that An's temperament was strong, and I thought that I could force her to break with Ling Yugui by taking advantage of the matter of the county lord of Anping, who knew that I underestimated An's patience, maybe there was also a relationship between husband and wife, even if I knew that Ling Yugui was ridiculous, I would not take the initiative to make peace."
"So what."
"So, since An's body doesn't work, can we turn the gun and start with Ling Yugui."
"Do you want the Ling family to take the initiative to push away the Ministry of Works, which has helped them a lot? I don't think it's possible. ”
"Indeed, before the change, unless the Ling family's father and son had a paste in their heads." Bai Jingyin nodded and said, "But this time is different from the past, the emperor first confiscated Ling Xiang a lot of silver taels, and also cut Ling Yugui 80,000 soldiers and horses to his father, and reprimanded the Ling family's prestige in the court is not as good as before, such a crisis, they must find a way to recover the disadvantage." And at this time, if the emperor is them, what will the emperor think. ”
Bai Jingyin said this,
In Yuan Ruiming's heart, he already roughly knew what she was going to do,
"If at this time, if you can marry the lord of Anping, you will completely get the support of Prince Surong and Dongli behind him. It is best on this basis, even the support of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu will not be lost, then for Ling Xiang's father and son, it is the best. ”
"All in the middle!"
Bai Jingyin patted his thigh, quite excited and excited to see his confidant:
"The emperor is simply a roundworm in my stomach, and he knows me too well-"
The words are not finished yet,
In front of her, an orange smashed into her head,
After catching the eye quickly,
I only heard Yuan Ruiming say helplessly in a deep voice:
"Next time, a different metaphor."
Bai Jingyin stuck out his tongue,
"Where did you just go, oh yes, a sense of crisis." With the orange in his hand, he continued to pick up the topic while peeling it: "The father and son are already very anxious, and at this time, I sent someone to send some ironic medicinal herbs, and finally stimulated their poor self-esteem, and completely made them determined to fight back. According to Ling Xiang's consistent style, he is bound to have the kind of greedy ambition that the emperor just said, and the key to all this is hidden in Hengyang's An family. ”
In fact, it's not just Ling Xiang, but his son Ling Yugui is not it,
A county lord who wants both a respected status and a young and beautiful one, but is reluctant to be a gentle and virtuous couple;
A man who wants to get the support of Prince Rong and Dongli behind him, but he doesn't want to lose the Ministry of Industry Shangshu who has assisted him all the way to the present.
The greed and desire in human nature can be seen.
"How can you meet Ling Xiang's needs, it seems that there is only one way to get both."
Yuan Ruiming put down the fold in his hand,
Raised his head to look at Bai Jingyin.
The two exchanged a look,
At the same time the word was spoken:
"Continue."
***
"The emperor really understands me, if there is wine, then this situation really needs to touch a glass." Bai Jingyin said with emotion.
Yuan Ruiming was silent for a moment,
Suddenly, he pressed the pen holder on the imperial case, and with a slight turn, a dark pavilion appeared. The dark pavilion may have been built by the first emperor to hide some confidential information, but at this moment, Bai Jingyin saw Yuan Ruiming take out a pot of wine from it.
"There really is!"
"Why, didn't you say you wanted to drink?"
The voice fell,
Bai Jingyin used the speed of a 100-meter sprint to the side, poured two glasses of wine, and put them under his nose to taste them, "Fragrant, clear, and moist, with a taste of spring water...... Wait, isn't this the pot of chalcedony that the emperor treasured, I couldn't find it before-"
Speaking of this, Bai Jingyin suddenly realized that he had missed his mouth, stopped abruptly, and looked at Yuan Ruiming with a pierced look.
Yuan Ruiming didn't have any expression,
Not surprised at all, as if I knew it in the first place.
After pouring yourself full, you don't say lightly:
"The wine I have hidden has been almost moved by rats from nowhere, and the last ones should be hidden more secretly."
Bai Jingyin smiled awkwardly,
Quickly touched the cup with Yuan Ruiming, made a crisp sound and tilted his head to drink it all.
"It's a good wine!"
smashed his mouth, looked at the white porcelain wine cup in his hand, and then looked at Yuan Ruiming's hand, and suddenly had some doubts,
"But why did the emperor hide two wine glasses along the way with the wine, could it be that he had expected it a long time ago, and we would drink together today?"
“……”
Yuan Ruiming's hand holding the wine glass shook,
His expression became a little stiff.
didn't expect this detail to be noticed by Bai Jingyin, could he say that when he was hiding the wine at that time, he actually wanted to drink with Bai Jingyin in his heart, so he subconsciously put two wine glasses.
No, it's absolutely not going to work.
"Ahem."
I was choked and coughed heavily.
