Chapter 501: You're here at the right time
After Bai Tu returned to the palace of the king of Chu......
To be precise, as soon as the court meeting ended and the ministers dispersed, they already felt the "shock".
In order to show trust, at the court meeting, Lu Lingqi, who is the queen and the head of the guard, does not appear directly in the Jiangshan Pavilion, anyway, the first place on the left hand side of the white picture is Lu Bu, and there will be no danger......
Only now, the white map feels like it could be dangerous!
"Hard drive, you prepare well, this is Lu Lao's last wish...... Ahem, I mean, to the last wish of the officer! Especially if you leave it to Lingqi to plan...... Well, to the outside world, it is more said that Lingqi is busy working, so it is better for Lingqi's reputation, understand? After the ministers dispersed, Lu Bu specially stayed and said to Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi in righteous words.
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Lu Lingqi, who was rolling his eyes, and handed a look of "Dad loves you" and "It's all for your good", and then turned to leave.
Only the white picture was left with a messy face......
"Are you proud again?" Lu Lingqi looked at Bai Tu and asked with a familiar question.
"Absolutely nothing! I ......"
"Let's talk about it when we get home! Let Xiao Juan also know that there may be more than one 'sister', hehehe. After Lu Lingqi finished speaking, she turned around and left, and Bai Tu hurriedly followed.
Until......
Walking to the door of Jiangshan Pavilion, Lu Lingqi paused slightly, and returned to the position where the "Chief of the Guard" should be, behind half of Bai Tu's body.
After all, after going out, there are still outsiders, and now ...... In addition to the guards, there is only Zhang Chunhua.
In addition, Lu Lingqi also turned her head to look at Zhang Chunhua, and then said: "Lord Zhang should not be interested in such a thing as multiple sisters, right?" I won't be in the palace today. ”
"Well, I think ...... too The king's face is not very good, he may not have the heart to work today, and his wife should also take care of the king. Zhang Chunhua said obediently.
Lu Lingqi nodded, and then ...... He walked out after Bai Tu.
However, Lu Lingqi's seemingly well-behaved performance still put a lot of pressure on Bai Tu, and when she walked in front, her waist became straighter and straighter, as if there was a knife in Lu Lingqi's hand, and the tip of the knife was pressed on her waist......
As soon as she returned to the inner courtyard of the Chu Palace, Lu Lingqi walked fast again, directly surpassed Bai Tu, and went straight to Xiahou Juan's writing room, it seemed that she had to pull an "ally" first.
After glaring away all the other guards, Bai Tu was very sincere and waited outside the door.
I don't know how Lu Lingqi described the "car accident scene" at today's court meeting when she was in the house.
In a word...... When Lu Lingqi and Xiahou Juan came out, the former still had an air-conditioned anger on his face, and the latter had a formulaic smile like a signature.
Bai Tu recalled a lot in his mind in these few seconds, including Lu Lingqi, Xiahou Juan, and Xu Rong, who was always called to "take private work".
Just as the two approached Bai Tu's side, Bai Tu suddenly made an angry look, and then stomped his feet and said, "How can this be true!" Lu Lao Pifu mistook me and Xu Taishi! I can see that he is taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail, how can he let him succeed? This king is announcing him here! ”
As he spoke, he was full of momentum and wanted to turn around and leave, as if he really wanted to go to Lu Kang to settle accounts.
It's just that......
As he got closer and closer to the entrance of the front yard, although Bai Tu's momentum did not decrease, his steps became less and less, and he had to retract seven points before he fell, as if there was some invisible enchantment at the entrance of the front yard.
"That's it! You come back first. Lu Lingqi may be a little distressed, and Bai Tu's rustling soles are grinding.
"Lingqi, if you have something to say, I'll go to Lu Kang to settle accounts!" Bai Tu took a few big strides and walked back.
When Lu Lingqi heard this, she gave her a big roll of her eyes, and at the same time complained: "You be quiet, I don't know if you really think you have a big opinion about Lu Lao." ”
"Of course I have an opinion, I have long felt that he is ......" Bai Tu apologized to Lu Kang in his heart while slandering Mr. Lu.
Well, anyway...... Now only Lu Lingqi and Xiahou Juan are present.
……
Bai Tu also made a lot of effort, and when he saw that dinner was about to come, he coaxed Lu Lingqi and Xiahou Juan.
And at this moment, Xu Rong also asked to see him in front of the palace of the king of Chu - because the palace of the king of Chu was ...... The nature has become closer to the "mansion" of the king of Chu, so entering and exiting the palace gate has become more private, but the process is also simpler.
Especially for Xu Rong's......
Because of the previous sacrificial reform and ritual reform, Xu Rong would often come secretly after dressing up in a low-key manner, and had a private meeting with Bai Tu - meeting in private to discuss the meaning of business!
After all, in this regard, in order to be "easy-going" and not to exacerbate some indifferent contradictions, Bai Tu has been letting Xu Rong "charge into battle".
From the beginning of its founding, the state of Chu clearly pointed out that it was "ordered by the people", that is, it completely linked its legitimacy with the support of the people, and did not seek the blessing of the mandate of heaven.
But even so, Bai Tu never wanted to memorize the name of "going against the sky", after all, even Chu Min, who was the most fashionable in thought, could not be indifferent to the Mandate of Heaven.
And not to mention the influence in Chu, especially outside the Chu State, it will give other princes, and even the unnamed Han Tianzi, the best excuse to criticize Bai Tu!
Therefore, Bai Tu never attributed the "Mandate of Heaven" to the dross, but only emphasized that "the heart of heaven is the heart of the people".
It's like when the jade seal was returned, didn't Bai Tu also eat the dividends of the Mandate of Heaven with "real fragrance"?
Until now, the people under the rule of the Fu Han forces have taken this matter to heart, so that Liu Bei and others do not dare to directly criticize the essence of Baitu in terms of public opinion, at most they criticize the various policies of the Chu State.
Even when the legitimacy of the Mandate of Heaven of the Han Dynasty was propagated, it had already left a rift in the hearts of the people.
And Han Tianzi, who did not want to be named, every time he thought of this incident and remembered his original touch, he hated it so much!
In order to be more moderate, Baitu's sacrificial reform was led by the Taishi Bureau - after all, the Taishi Bureau was equivalent to the department of stargazing and divination for the imperial court, and it was also the absolute authority in this regard.
The only one who can monitor it in this regard is the Ministry of Rites......
In the case that Xu Rong completely turned to Baitu and there were many "astronomy enthusiasts" and "mathematics enthusiasts" within the Taishi Bureau, and these new talents have been vigorously promoted, the sacrificial reform took the lead in the Taishi Bureau.
In this way, even if there is resistance, the situation can be controlled to the level of "objections to the work of the Taishi Bureau" and "doubts about the professionalism of the Taishi Bureau".
Instead of fermenting in the direction of attacking "the king of Chu disregards the mandate of heaven" and "the state of Chu teases the heavens"!
Until now, there have been more than a dozen festivals and anniversaries set up by the Taishi Bureau, but for the sacrificial activities, they are all planned very simple and even down-to-earth, which has indeed attracted a lot of criticism.
But...... These criticisms have all stayed at the level of the "Taishi Bureau" as they wished!
In other words, until now, Xu Rong has not been unable to hold on once, and asked the Taishi Bureau to withdraw and directly let Bai Tu bear the disputes, but has always blocked these controversies between the opponents and the Taishi Bureau.
Although Bai Tu's secret support also played a decisive role, Bai Tu also deeply understood and was grateful for Xu Rong's fortitude.
And during this period, Bai Tu naturally often met Xu Rong privately, just like when he "changed the auspicious day of the wedding without permission, and added a bunch of divination theories that seem to be a bit deviant now......
And the requirements are too much every time, but Xu Rong is also getting used to it every time, and now she is even enjoying it.
For example, before the establishment of "Lonely Day" to encourage people to pay attention to the single old and lonely anniversaries who cannot survive on their own, Xu Rong proposed that on this day every year, some representative "Lonely Gardens" can be allowed to produce some programs and organize people and government offices to watch them, so as to further improve empathy.
Xu Rong is now accustomed to "making up" the sacrificial rites by herself......
Xu Rong, who looked small and a little weak at the beginning, is now the opposite of her character in the imperial court, and even one of the representatives of Chu Guozhong who is known for his uprightness!
Bai Tu has always believed that compared with using a sense of solemnity and an unattainable sense of distance in the eyes of the people to contribute to his own legal rationality and establish a character that conforms to the mandate of heaven, it is not as good as these more in-depth and commemorative contents in the new era.
After all, as the basic education of Chu State becomes more and more effective, the role of the former will become smaller and smaller, while the effect of the latter is continuous!
And because he often has private meetings with Xu Rong, he ...... The guards of the Chu Palace, who are very familiar with Xu Rong, after all, often receive orders to take her into the palace from the small door.
Xu Rong is also one of the few officials who do not need to be allowed to enter the palace of the king of Chu.
It's the same this time!
Especially because of the events at the court meeting, it spread among the guards, and everyone was even more eager when they saw Xu Rong.
Xu Rong was like this, there was nothing to hinder, and she came all the way to the backyard - anyway, it wasn't that she hadn't entered!
However, this time the situation is obviously different, such as...... Because the guard at the gate of the backyard had already been cleared out by Bai Tuqing, Xu Rong did not find anyone to pass on his behalf.
I thought about coming in and looking for it, but as soon as I came in, I ......
I was embarrassed to see that Bai Tu was half-hugging Lu Lingqi, and the other hand was still holding Xiahou Juan.
Although the former's face was still angry, it was obviously gone, and as for Xiahou Juan...... It's the opposite of holding back a smile and keeping a straight face.
Xu Rong accidentally scratched the branch and made a sound, the three of them turned their heads to look over, Lu Lingqi hurriedly left from Bai Tu's arms, and Xiahou Juan let go of his palm without a trace.
"I'm sorry! Am I here at the wrong time......" Xu Rong said with some surprise.
At the same time, she has always been known for her uprightness, but at this time, her temples were still uncontrollable, and she lowered her head and wanted to quit if she had never seen the world.
But at this time, Lu Lingqi said loudly: "No, you came at the right time......"
