Chapter 97: The Truth (2)
Unexpectedly, Bai Ze smiled heartily and said: "Don't worry, before I came in, I skimmed the three times before and after your Chaolu Palace, there is nothing wrong, even if someone tells the emperor, I am not afraid." ”
Ruoyun was dumbfounded, looking at him straightening his clothes and looking like he didn't care, and couldn't help but say: "You are really bold!" After thinking about it, he hurriedly asked, "Could it be ...... Does the emperor know about this? ”
"You're right. He knew it when he was the crown prince, otherwise we would not continue to be in his position and seek government now. Bai Ze didn't intend to hide it, but he was slightly displeased when he mentioned Rong Jinhuan.
She was shocked and said, "You mean, the Holy One has also exchanged conditions with you today?" ”
"That is, otherwise the ten-year period is over, no matter what the idea of purging is, I don't have the patience to spend it." Bai Ze shook his head, and then sighed heavily, "The old emperor was empty, and he suddenly died of a vicious disease, and threw the mess to the prince." It is not easy for him to calculate, while worrying about internal and external troubles, on the other hand, he wants to take back his real power, and at the same time he is afraid of us, but he does not dare to act rashly. But it's okay, there were many suspicions when the emperor was alive, although we were noble kings and prominent in the eyes of outsiders, but we were constrained in doing things, and as far as the matter of serving as an official was concerned, it was more or less left until Rong Jinhuan ascended the throne before he was replaced. ”
Seeing him point to the table with his fingers one by one, Ruoyun knew in his heart: the first emperor did not dismantle the Star Picking Pavilion, and Tianyi was in danger due to various bad habits accumulated over the years, although the king with a different surname could sweep away the external troubles for the first emperor, solve the domestic disaster, and reorganize the household department and Zhou Shun's resource scheduling, but in the end, the old ministers who were close to the emperor were not so easy to compromise, and the officials under him naturally formed a party and resisted the behavior of the king with a different surname. After a long time, there was a reputation that the king with a different surname was involved in the country and made waves.
It's just that Rong Jinhuan is today's son. In order to cure internal worries and eliminate troubles, remove officials step by step, and reorganize the super-outline, for the time being, it is necessary to rely on the ability of kings with different surnames, and it is precisely the power they possess. Coupled with the existence of several princes, Hu Bowen, who was an important minister of the previous emperor, and a group of powerful ministers, he needs to win over and calculate.
As the emperor, he is really the most tired in the world.
"There's one thing I don't understand." Ruoyun pondered and spoke, "Since the high priest has helped the emperor. If you want to seek the secret recipe of your and other volumes, why would you watch the new emperor stop seeking spells and not take action? ”
"You're right." Baizawa blinked. "Because he's dead." ”
"Huh?!" Ruoyun exclaimed, only to remember that the name he mentioned just now was not Zhao Wuyang, "You mean that." What...... What......? ”
"Yes. The previous high priest was He Yuanqi, Zhao Wuyang's mentor, who died a month before the death of the emperor. I don't know exactly how he died, it is said that he was given death by the first emperor, but he made a feud with Zhao Wuyang. Bai Ze said with a solemn expression.
"Zhao Wuyang thinks that his mentor was killed by you and others?" Ruoyun frowned and thought deeply, feeling bad in her heart.
Bai Ze bowed his head slightly and said, "The first emperor was very fond of He Yuanqi when he was alive. At that time, the high priest leaned towards the government and the opposition, and confronted us-for-tat, clearly letting the emperor coerce and lure him to take the technique. secretly sent assassins to sneak attack many times, and after a few years of stalemate, I don't know why Lu Dao angered Long Yan and was given death by an edict. Zhao Wuyang naturally wanted to avenge his mentor, and after taking over the position of high priest, Rong Jinhuan didn't buy it very much, and only continued to entrust us full-time in order to contain us. Most of He Yuanqi's arms were eradicated at the time of the alternation of imperial power, Zhao Wuyang had no way, secretly enabled the Star Picking Pavilion, and seemed to collude with the Qingping Sect, we saw it together not long ago, the Star Picking Pavilion had already become an organ building, I don't know what it was going to do. ”
"No wonder ......" Ruoyun suddenly realized, and then her heart was depressed.
If what Bai Ze said is true, then it is very likely that Zhao Wuyang provoked her and Cheng Qingxuan? But her father's matter is true, and Rong Jinhuan seems to be very sure that she ordered her to enter the palace, so Zhao Wuyang was sent by Rong Jinhuan? She was confused for a while, not knowing what to do.
She stayed for a long time before she said slowly: "Bai Ze, Zhao Wuyang is now the emperor's lackey?" ”
"Yes and no, the emperor uses him, and he also uses the emperor to secretly do tricks." Bai Ze said, suddenly slying with a smile, "But if Zhao Wuyang does too much, the first one who can't spare him is Rong Jinhuan." ”
Ruoyun took a deep breath, feeling that she knew this, her thoughts were already mixed in her mind, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
"Girl, you have been more careful recently, in the palace is not as good as outside, I can't protect you much, and I can't take care of it so carefully." Bai Ze said suddenly.
"How?"
"Do you remember the thunderball?"
She nodded.
"The thunderbolt is a firearm, the secret is stolen, it is not enough to have a firearm, this thunderbolt can explode in the air and needs a kernel mechanism, the name of the kernel mechanism is 'quenching order', there is only one, it was originally guarded by Xia Zhuyue."
Bai Ze lightly threw out this sentence, which undoubtedly shocked her again.
"You're saying that the secret recipe has been stolen and the core mechanism has been stolen? She was ......so frightened that she subconsciously blurted out, "Inner ghost?!" ”
Bai Ze looked at her with bright eyes, and actually smiled approvingly: "Girl, when you should be smart, you are indeed very smart." Yes, we suspect that it is the inner ghost that can lose the things that are so heavily guarded. Xia Zhuyue felt that she was responsible, so she searched everywhere. Fortunately, there is only one quenching order, and the current thunderbolt is just an imitation, and it is not yet a climate. ”
Ruoyun shook her head and said, "But the longer the time drags on, the more refined it is, so where does the Qingping Sect come from?" ”
"This is weird, we have a conflict with the high priest again, and we are also fighting openly and secretly, this Qingping Sect has suddenly appeared and made waves since the new emperor ascended the throne, and in just a few years, it is really unpredictable." Bai Ze shook his head, a big puzzle written on his face.
Ruoyun only then realized that after all these years and three years in the Chu Mansion, Tianyi was in such chaos.
"Actually, this palace is quite safe, after all, it is under Rong Jinhuan's nose, not to mention that Zhao Wuyang does not dare to move, then the Qingping Sect will not come, you can rest assured for the time being." Bai Ze smiled at her and comforted.
This sentence made Ruoyun even more uneasy.
What's safe? Not long after she entered the palace. Chu Rulan's little girl died, and there were still people in the Water Pavilion Flower Club who took the opportunity to push her that day...... If the person who harmed her was an ordinary person in the palace and jealous, it would be fine, but if the rest of the people were involved......
She didn't dare to think about it. didn't dare to say it, for fear of saying this, Bai Ze would add to her troubles, and she secretly made up her mind to find out the clues and make a decision.
She looked at the person in front of her carefully, from the country of Fusu, with an extraordinary lifespan, and carrying the secret recipe of the world that everyone was blushing at. The royal family with different surnames is simply a living target, how many pairs of eyes are staring, how many people are seeking their benefit, and how many people want to put them to death.
But for the safety of their clansmen and the peace of their hermitage. But he had to take the risk of coming forward, and the person in front of him seemed cynical, but he was deeply hidden; The cloud of laughter is light and light, but it carries a lot.
She sighed. No wonder Cheng Qingsu hates her so much. It's just because she doesn't know anything, but she enjoys peace and tranquility in such a dangerous and troubled world.
"Baize, I will take care of myself, you can rest assured. It's just that he is fighting with Rong Jinhuan, and what he thinks is not under you. She spoke worriedly.
"That's right, the little fox is more blue than the old fox." Bai Ze shook his head and said, "But." Fortunately, I only took on the part of the army, and the annoying documents and officials were also cleaned. We wait for peace of mind. It's Qingxuan......" He stopped talking, and deliberately looked at her face.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." She barely smiled back.
Bai Ze was finally relieved, and said carefully: "Qingxuan is our lord, and the main thing to negotiate with the emperor is him and Qingsu, and the decision of the last thing in everything is still with him." ”
Although she had already guessed, when she said it from Bai Ze's mouth at this moment, she still secretly clasped her hands and pursed her lips: "Is it your emperor?" ”
"No, we don't have an emperor." Bai Ze raised his eyebrows and denied it, his tone was extremely relaxed, "Fusu moved to Chongluan Mountain, and there has been no emperor for a long time." Today's Fusu is divided into four tribes according to medicine, gongwen, magic, etiquette, music, soldiers, etc., these four tribes have their own patriarchs, and they also have their own strengths. On the outside, it seems to be a leader, but in fact, this lord is also from the four clans, so he is actually on an equal footing with the patriarch, and only major events are decided. I say that, do you understand? ”
Ruoyun nodded and sighed: "So Bai Ze, you are one of the patriarchs, and there are exactly four kings with different surnames." Look at you, always mingle. If it is in Tianyi, the brothers are still called courtiers, siblings and cannibalism, Fusu has this realm, it is really worth your spare effort, do not hesitate to go out of the mountain to protect. ”
She began to understand why Bai Ze didn't care about Rong Yixuan, just because Rong Yixuan was a weak force in the world of thousands of generations, and now there was the Qingping Sect in the dark, the Star Pavilion was in trouble, and they checked and balanced each other with the emperor, so they didn't disdain it at all, but they didn't have the strength to manage Rong Yixuan at all.
But if Rong Yixuan is ambitious, he is afraid that Tianyi will be even more stormy......
"It's too early for you to say, in fact, there is also an undercurrent in Fusu, but the patriarch is capable, and several major events have been suppressed, I will talk to you about our story when I have time, for now you only remember, whether it is Tianyi people or Fusu people, no one can really be peaceful and happy." Bai Ze glanced at her, but he said something but passed it off.
When she heard this, she said with a straight face: "Ruoyun has been taught." ”
"Alas, in fact, it is all the fault of the ancestors, without those things, there is nothing." Bai Ze dragged his face and muttered.
Ruoyun was stunned for a moment, and then sighed heavily: "These things, others can't ask for them, but you are troublesome?" ”
"Isn't that? There are many rules in Fusu, forget it, what kind of math and what kind of mechanism, those people eat and study to pass the time. Do you think that someone can have fifty or sixty years of youth and strength, and there is no war, and he studies it carefully, what can't he do? He spread his hands, and he looked like he was right.
Ruoyun smiled and nodded: "What I said is that if the people here can have a lot of time to study and inherit it well, this attainment may not be worse than Fusu." It's a pity that in the world of flowers and flowers, people chase fame and fortune and are content with pleasure, and if you want to study these, you may have to go hungry. ”
Bai Ze looked surprised and said, "I can't see it, girl, your knowledge is no worse than that old man Su Xi." ”
Her smile froze on her face, and then she reacted, and hurriedly asked, "You mean, my father...... You used to ...... Know? ”
"Do you think that those 'kings with different surnames' in front of us are our fathers?" Bai Ze smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly, "Fusu people will not start a family if they are less than forty or fifty, let alone the patriarch?" Every time we grow up, our father also happens to be old, and the living ones don't care about these things. There are not many people who know our identity, and we continue to be young after the death of the emperor, isn't it remarkable? I don't know your father well, I have been in contact with it a few times, and I think he is an insightful person, that's all. ”
"What is the tomb of the former king with a different surname?" Her eyes widened.
"Clothed and mound, hiding people's eyes and ears." Bai Ze smiled at her and looked out the window at the sky.
Ruoyun listened, and the roar in her head rang out.
She heard that they have a long lifespan, but she didn't expect that there would be no old prince at all! The one who left the country after the conquest was Bai Ze himself?! That...... The ...... that day in the garden (To be continued......)
