Chapter 712: Entrusted by the New Emperor
After the coffin of the Emperor Taishang was buried in the imperial mausoleum, the new emperor issued dozens of decrees.
For some ministers who wavered or did not commit crimes to death, all of them were promoted openly and secretly, or had the same official position, but they were assigned to be officials in the corners.
And those children of the poor who have made a difference, but cannot be promoted because they have no way, have all seen the light and have a place for them.
One of the decrees was that Shangguan Yu officially inherited the throne of the Han Dynasty, and Bai Ling naturally became the princess of the Han Dynasty.
Bai Ling had a meritorious role in saving the emperor, but as a woman, it was not good to overpower her husband in terms of identity, so the new monarch gave the reward to the Bai family.
Bai Sanshu and his wife naturally wanted to be promoted to a higher level, and the sisters Bai Wei and Bai Xing, who were their youngest daughters, also gave a false name as a county lord and gave a reward, but there was no monthly salary.
"Is this the beginning?" After learning of the holy will, Bai Ling has already made up for his brain, and the delicate flowers he raised at home will be ...... by the pig of Xinjun No, it's the feeling that the real dragon in the world has swept away.
"Don't think about it so much, maybe the two will no longer have contact, and it will fade. Woman, having a title in her body is always a good thing. Shangguan Yu reassured.
"Well, pie in the sky, don't pick it up." Bai Ling also sighed with emotion, and didn't bother much.
"This token, let's send it to the new emperor earlier, it's weird to hold in your hand." Bai Ling said again.
The couple had already discussed that this token could not be kept.
Although the Emperor said that he was a lonely, who dared to guarantee that it was not a temptation?
If the new emperor knew about this token, there would definitely be a rift between them, which would be against the original will.
Early the next morning, the two entered the palace to face the saint.
The costumes of King Han and Princess Han have been prepared as early as the wedding of the two.
However, when the Emperor Taishang was on the throne, he did not issue a holy decree for a long time, and the husband and wife were not qualified to wear them.
After saluting in the imperial study, Bai Ling asked for a retreat, and then put the token on the imperial case and told the source of the token.
"I was afraid of turmoil before, so we have not returned the token to the emperor, and we ask the emperor for forgiveness." Bai Ling bowed his head.
"Since it is my father's will, there is no reason for me to disobey it. Princess Han just needs to put away the token, maybe he will be my life talisman one day. After taking a closer look, the new emperor got up and came to Bai Ling and handed out the token.
"The courtiers can't take it." Bai Ling shook his head and explained: "The courtiers don't have many days in the capital, so I'm afraid it's difficult to be up to such a heavy responsibility!" Please also ask the emperor to choose another meritocracy. ”
"Princess Han is afraid that I have a problem in my heart?" Xinti asked with a smile.
When he met such a straightforward emperor, Bai Ling wanted to chat with him happily.
But there are some words that men can communicate with, but men and women can't communicate with each other, especially between monarchs and ministers, and they have to leave a few points for everything.
"The emperor misunderstood, and the courtiers just felt that the emperor should have more people around him to protect him. And the courtiers, who can't always find out the crisis in the palace, what is the difference between harming the emperor? Bai Ling's words, but there is some sincerity.
When something happened to the new emperor, in the absence of an heir, it was naturally the other princes left by the first emperor to snatch the throne.
At that time, what kind of attitude the winner will have towards the Han Wangfu, and whether there will be a river of blood, these are also Bai Ling's scruples.
"If that's the case, Princess Han can leave some people behind to protect my safety in secret. I am not allowed to show up unless my life is threatened. In this way, it provides me with a guarantee, and it will not be detected by those with ill intentions, and the princess of Han can also keep her promise to the first emperor, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? Xindi asked.
After all, there is a difference between men and women, and the new emperor stuffed the token into Shangguan Yu's hand, and said: "I trust you by entrusting your safety to your husband and wife." I hope that these dragon guards, in addition to protecting my safety, can also play their role, and I think the King of Han understands what I mean. ”
The new emperor's actions were not only trust, but also to tell Shangguan Yu that he had no killing intent towards the Han Palace.
And the court seems to be calm, but in fact, it is secretly turbulent.
There is also the news that Shangguan Yu brought back from the Western Han Kingdom, which made the new emperor have to be cautious and take precautions!
The couple looked at each other, both understood the meaning of this token, and could no longer refuse.
Shangguan Yu lifted his robe and saluted, while Bai Ling bowed half-kneel.
"Minister
The courtiers will not live up to the emperor's trust and the emperor's trust! The two said solemnly.
"Two of you, please get up."
The new emperor raised his hand to help Shangguan Yu, helped Bai Lingxu, turned around and sat back on the dragon chair.
"I, when I first ascend to the Great Treasure, there must be many forces ready to move. Now that the internal troubles of the Eastern Han Kingdom have not yet appeared, I do not want to have civil strife for the time being, lest the people behind the scenes do it, and the treasury is empty, and there are no soldiers available. ”
"I want to give you a difficult task, and I ask you to do it for the common people of the world, and even for the innocent people of other countries, you must promise me to do it!"
The new emperor's solemn attitude made Bai Ling and his wife have to be cautious.
Half an hour later, Bai Ling and his wife left the palace, but their mood was much heavier than when they came.
The world is in turmoil, and the new emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty is willing to join forces with other countries, but the price paid is heavy, otherwise it will be difficult to form allies.
The important thing is that the world is so big, no one knows how big that man's bureau is, and naturally it is impossible to predict how many troops and military supplies need to be prepared.
"Shangguan, we will be separated tomorrow, be careful." After getting into the carriage, Bai Ling snuggled on Shangguan Yu's shoulder, and said reluctantly and worriedly.
"The same goes for you." hugged Bai Ling tightly and dropped a kiss on her forehead, Shangguan Yu was the same.
The two left in a hurry this time, and announced to the outside that they wanted to return to the Northland.
So tomorrow we will set off together and say goodbye when we leave the capital.
Although the new emperor did not ask for the Han palace to leave hostages, it was inconvenient for the Han princess to leave with them, but it was easy to be dangerous, so it was better to stay in the Han palace for the time being.
This night, Shangguan Yu went to Yang Fan to negotiate secretly, and Bai Ling talked to Princess Han in the secret room for nearly an hour.
Regarding the actions of the two, Bai Ling said it roughly, but he did not tell him in detail, and he didn't want Princess Han to worry.
In addition, Bai Ling naturally wanted to leave a large amount of materials.
Once the capital is trapped, with these things, it is possible to hold out for three more months.
Take 10,000 steps back, in case the capital falls, Princess Han's escape can also be a little more secure.
"You just have to do things with peace of mind, and your mother won't put yourself in danger. The foundation of the Han Palace, which has been around for hundreds of years, is not so easy to move. Your sister's family, as well as your property and manpower in the capital, your mother will also help you protect it, don't have any worries! Princess Han hid the worries in her heart and said with relief.
"Thank you, mother, we will definitely return safely." The Tao of the White Spirit.
If you want to leave the capital, these things are naturally what Bai Ling is worried about.
Although Princess Han may not be able to take care of it so thoroughly, with her promise, Bai Ling can always rest assured.
"Silly boy, we are a family, don't say kind words." Princess Han said again: "Over there in Nanshan Village, I will arrange for the secret guards to go over, and you don't have to worry." ”
"Okay, Ling'er knows." Bai Ling bowed his head.
At night, Bai Ling went to Yang's Mansion again.
is about to leave, without looking at Bai Cao's mother and son, and without making some arrangements, Bai Ling is always uneasy in his heart.
"The eldest sister is just a woman in the back house, and she doesn't understand the big things you have to do. But the eldest sister understands the truth of being a mother, and if she really encounters something, the eldest sister will focus on saving her life. When you go out, remember this. Bai Cao's worries were written on his face, but he couldn't say anything to save them.
"I will write a letter to Chu Wen and ask him to pay attention to safety, it is best to bring Bai Wei to the capital, or go back to Nanshan Village." Knowing Bai Cao's temperament, Bai Ling deliberately said this.
