Shira-chan Crane was very interested to hear what others were saying about him.

"What kind of rumors are there to tell me a few to listen to, and see how the white crane is said in the capital."

"Young master, it is rumored in the capital that you are extremely vicious, and whoever sticks to you is unlucky. It's just that the imperial historians don't want to have a relationship with you at the moment. After Qinghe finished speaking, Bai Minghe snorted coldly: "I'd rather make everyone afraid, not let everyone love!" ”

On this night, Bai Minghe spent the night in Qinghe's room and occupied Qinghe's bed. But there was no one who occupied Qinghe, he fell asleep on Qinghe's lap in the first half of the night, and fell asleep in the bed alone in the second half of the night.

Qinghe is still a virgin after all, and he can take the initiative to get into the blanket of the white crane.

At night, Qinghe had to squeeze into Li Huamei's small bed in the room, and the two girls talked in the middle of the night.

The next day, at about six o'clock in the morning, Qinghe woke up the white crane and said that he had entered the palace at about ten o'clock. But there is always some preparation in advance, and Qinghe has to explain clearly to Bai Minghe one by one when he inquires about the character of the Empress Dowager Sun, living habits, and many gifts prepared.

Shirana Crane didn't listen to a word.

Qinghe, who bent over to fix the white crane's hair, said to herself, and the white crane's eyes were focused on the little crimson of the snow-white peak.

"Qinghe, I haven't asked yet, how old are you this year?"

Qinghe glanced down at Bai Minghe, naturally he found Bai Minghe's gaze, and smiled lightly: "Young master, the slave is seventeen this year." If the young master wants to see it, the slave can be taken off and shown to the young master. Qinghe's words made Bai Minghe blush, and when he saw Bai Minghe blushing, Qinghe just didn't see it.

But the little girl Li Huamei giggled next to her.

The white crane didn't expect it. was molested by his own concubine.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, the white crane had already arrived at Donghua Gate. Only Li Huamei followed. According to Qinghe, she used to be in the teaching workshop. And the fame is far and wide, and there are many inconveniences in entering the palace. has no identity for fear of insulting the white crane, but although Li Huamei is also a slave, she has been naturalized for a short time, and no one knows about it.

After waiting for a while, a middle-aged father-in-law lowered his eyebrows and asked for peace in front of Bai Minghe.

Bai Minghe hurriedly returned the salute, the other party was a eunuch from the fifth grade, but he was much higher than himself, a minor official of the seventh grade.

After receiving the white crane salute, the chief eunuch made a gesture of invitation. Then lead the way in front. Naturally, the gifts brought by Bai Minghe were carried by a few little eunuchs and followed behind.

Along the way, the chief eunuch only gave a few words to a little eunuch in the palace who was trimming flowers and plants. It seems that the flowers and plants that the Empress Dowager Sun likes, and they should be pruned carefully. The rest never spoke again, and if it weren't for these few words, Bai Minghe would really think he was dumb.

Entering the palace gate, the white crane was motioned to kneel in front of a curtain.

I knelt for ten minutes before I heard a woman's voice from inside the curtain: "How do you not understand the rules, Lord Bai is going to give a seat in the long live study." Let Lord Bai kneel here for so long in the mourning house, and don't quickly help Lord Bai up. Bestow the seat. ”

Cut! Bai Minghe despised it in his heart, and said in his heart Without your instructions, who would dare to let me kneel for so long.

Whether it's a dismount or something else. Bai Minghe can only accompany the smiling face at the moment: "Empress Dowager Xie gave me a seat." Bai Minghe brought some gadgets, all of which were prepared by the clumsy Jing for the Queen Mother. ”

"I have a heart!" Empress Dowager Sun replied lightly.

Just as Bai Minghe was about to say a few words of compliment, Empress Dowager Sun said, "I just don't know." Your wife's personal preparation was originally prepared for the Queen Mother. ”

Fuck. This is the hatred of the red fruit.

"Queen Mother, the white-named crane dared to say a word that lost his head. The queen mother is the queen mother, and the mother is more expensive than the son. As a courtier, he only knows allegiance to the Ming Dynasty and long live loyalty. My white crane is Jingtai two years before the first time into the capital, what I can do is to this life, the honor and disgrace of my white crane life, my Guanzhong Bai's brave loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, many things are not meritorious, there are descendants to comment, there are almanacs recorded! ”

The expression on Empress Dowager Sun's face did not change at all.

She listened to Bai Minghe's words word for word, but she didn't express any attitude. just beckoned: "Girl, your name is Li Huamei, I have seen your father, and I also know your grandmother." Come here and sit down, do you know that your father, as a captain of the Guardian Army, died in battle and did not fall, with hundreds of arrows stuck in his body! ”

What do you mean, does Empress Dowager Sun want to stimulate the little girl to death?

But who would have thought that Li Huamei entered the curtain, and instead of crying, she replied very calmly: "As a general of the Ming Dynasty, it is my duty to fight to the death. ”

"Then you were implicated and became a slave, don't you hate?"

"I don't know!" Li Huamei's head was a little confused, and she didn't know how to answer this question. It's false to say that you don't hate, but if you say you hate, who might you hate.

Empress Dowager Sun touched the top of Li Huamei's head a few times: "Good boy, the mourning family knows that you hate." Because the mourning family also hates! ”

"Queen Mother!" The white crane quickly knelt down.

Empress Dowager Sun knew why Bai Minghe's urgent cry was? It's about stopping what you might say and shouldn't say. The current emperor is not her son, and some nonsense will not benefit her at all, and it will even harm her own son who is under house arrest in Nangong.

"Shira-naa, you're good."

Empress Dowager Xie praised that Bai Minghe was just dedicated to the Ming Dynasty. Only when the Ming Dynasty is stable can the country be rich and the people strong. ”

Empress Dowager Sun withdrew the bracelet from her hand and put it on Li Huamei's hand, and at the same time said to Bai Minghe: "Bai Minghe, the purpose of your coming is known to the mourning family, but they will definitely not agree to you." ”

"For ......" Bai Minghe almost blurted out, swallowed the words to his lips and changed his words: "Please advise the Queen Mother!" ”

Empress Dowager Sun waved her hand and motioned for the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs to withdraw.

After that, Empress Dowager Sun said: "Bai Minghe, you are an extremely smart person, how can you not think of it. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, all the words are like this, if you still don't understand. There's no need for the mourning family to talk to you anymore. ”

What a powerful old lady, no, it should be a middle-aged woman.

Bai Minghe understands the reason why Empress Dowager Sun is this villain, this is the era of Emperor Jingtai, and those loyal courtiers in the orthodox years died and degraded during the battle of Tumubao. Let these people come back now, can we live with peace of mind now? He wouldn't do it to so many courtiers, but he could do it to his brother.

Royal history is always bloody.

"The mourning family also wants to thank you for saving the grandson of the mourning family." Empress Dowager Sun's words are true, full of truth.

"Queen Mother, is it feasible to take a step back?"

"How do I get back?"

Bai Minghe knelt a few steps forward, and said at a distance of only one step from the curtain: "No reinstatement, only exoneration." For some who have no queen, or who have a special status, give a big reward. and those who are alive shall be forgiven of their sins and given to a petty officer, or shall be allowed to go home and recuperate. ”

"Why did you do that?" Empress Dowager Sun asked again.

"The minister has a few thoughts, the first is that these people are really loyal courtiers, and there must always be justice for dying for the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Queen Mother thinks that this justice is not fair to everyone, at least she must give justice in front of the world. Second, the minister sincerely admires these people. The third is that the minister wants to take this opportunity to gain the hearts and minds of the people and the army, reorganize the army, and lay a good foundation for revenge in the future! ”

Bai Minghe said so much in one breath, just waiting for Empress Dowager Sun to give a response.

Empress Dowager Sun also has her own thoughts: "Bai Minghe, there are more than 1,000 cheap slaves in the quarry in the eastern suburbs, and these are all degraded military attachés, or the sons and nephews of military attachés. This palace is ready to sell them and turn them from criminal slaves to domestic slaves, and the only person who buys them can only be you. Do you dare to buy it? ”

Buying these people is equivalent to bringing those military attaches or their sons and nephews who are trusted by the Emperor Taishang's side to his side.

This is an extremely dangerous move. This Empress Dowager Sun must have a backhand, and she also has a chess move for the future.

Bai Minghe thought about it again and again, thinking that he couldn't hesitate, buying it was an opportunity, and if he didn't buy it, he would never have a chance. If you buy it, you are likely to be suspected by Zhu Qiyu, the current Long Live Daizong, after all, these people are his brother's old team. Military generals are different from civil ministers.

Wenchen These people are most loyal to Confucius first, followed by moral articles, and then the people of the world who are good, and finally the emperor.

The difference between military generals is that they are always loyal to someone.

"The Queen Mother, the minister bought it. One thousand taels per person! "Bai Minghe wants to say ten thousand taels, but it's a pity that he doesn't have that much money.

"You can see that you think very highly of these people. If you want these silver taels, you don't want them for the mourning family, but for one person and one penny. This money is out of the mourning family, take care of the grandson of the mourning family. So be it. Empress Dowager Sun raised her hand and signaled that Bai Minghe could leave. Bai Minghe didn't get up: "Queen Mother, pardon some people and seal some people!" ”

"Forgive a hundred, seal ten! This is the bottom line of mourning. Empress Dowager Sun finally gave Bai Minghe an accurate answer.

Out of the palace where the Queen Mother lived, Bai Minghe asked the father-in-law to send Li Huamei to leave first, and he went to the south study. There are some things that he wants to face the king, and the white name crane must sue Zhu Qiyu as soon as possible for the matter of receiving these eight hundred people, otherwise it will be trouble!

Bai Minghe was waiting for Zhu Qiyu to go down to the court outside the south study, and the father-in-law asked the Empress Dowager Sun in a low voice: "Queen Mother, I am afraid that you are forcing Bai Minghe too hard by doing this, and the old slave can see that he is afraid." ”

"The mourning family wants the white crane, so he must be tied up. This little thing will not kill him, his life will be hard! ”

Empress Dowager Sun got up and walked two steps, and suddenly stopped: "Go and tell the white crane and give a gift to the mourning family." What about the rest of the people in the palace, just ask him the truth. ”

Bai Minghe would have thought about the gift, standing under the porch of the south study, anxiously waiting for Daizong Zhu Qiyu to come back. (To be continued......)
