Chapter 222: Dethronement
"The surname Fu doesn't take me, a big living person, in his eyes!"
Rong Changning looked at Bai Chuxi's angry and innocent appearance, feeling both amused and helpless: "Why are you only entangled with Mr. Fu and me?" The important thing is that he personally admitted to killing the thousand-armed ghost hand, and he did not shy away from admitting that he had set up a game for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He actually dragged me out, and we couldn't do anything about him. ”
After listening to this, Bai Chuxi finally calmed down, fiddling with the jade wrench in his hand: "Either he said these words to deceive you, or maybe it was a trick set up to cover up someone." Right and wrong, black and white, will eventually surface, and it will not be reversed. The way he treats you is not at all like the daughter of an old man. ”
In Bai Chuxi's eyes, Fu Yu was very pitiful and adoring Rong Changning. This kind of indescribable emotion makes Bai Chuxi care and mind very much.
It's too careful to laugh at Bai Chuxi from time to time, but Bai Chuxi always punches him on the shoulder: "I'm also a man, and I know men's fancy intestines the most." ”
"What about you?" Liren quipped: "Don't you also have a belly of flowery intestines?" ”
"Go."
"If you want me to say that you don't need to care about him at all, can't you still trust Changning? How could you do that nonsense? ”
"Speaking of things that don't have a score, the matter of establishing a reserve has been discussed for a year, and I don't know how long I can be with the mud in my hand."
Leaving the resentment and following Bai Chuxi in the corridor, he looked at the direction of the bamboo garden and sighed: "Didn't you see that the saint covered his heart several times this morning?" I heard the imperial physician on duty at the Imperial Medical Department yesterday say that the Holy One urgently sent the imperial doctor last night, saying that he had committed a heart disease. After the abolition of the crown prince, the saint's illness has not stopped. At this time, when talking about the establishment of the reserve, it may also mean that it is holy. ”
As he was walking, Jiang An came over to say: "Master Hou, the porter said that His Royal Highness the King of Jin has come down, and he is still with a courtesy." The gift came in through the back door. ”
Bai Chuxi immediately glanced at each other, but he didn't expect that King Jin would come to join in the fun at this juncture.
After pondering for a while, Bai Chuxi suddenly remembered that when he entered the palace yesterday to reply, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Qixuan talking to Yu Shiqing, the chief eunuch of the inner chamberlain, under the porch of the palace. It just so happened that Xiao Qixuan turned his head and met Bai Chuxi, and the two bowed slightly, so they missed it.
Could it be that Xiao Qixuan's trip is related to what he unintentionally encountered yesterday?
Could it be that it is also for the sake of the reserve? But what does he look like...... Unless all the sons of the Holy One are dead, there may be a chance that it will be his turn.
So what did he do when he brought the Hou Mansion for no reason?
Bai Chuxi pondered while walking, and when he arrived at the front hall, Xiao Qixuan saw Bai Chuxi coming and quickly got up: "Bai Hou." ”
Bai Chuxi saluted: "Your Highness." ”
"Bai Hou has been leisurely recently, and I heard that he took the little son of the Xun family to Fengjiang to fish a few days ago."
"Your Highness has a lot of opportunities, how can you have time to come to the Humble House?"
"I heard that my cousin was pregnant, and the old lady was sick, so I chose and chose the things that my father had rewarded and sent them over. I heard that the adults are also here? ”
Bai Chuxi was stunned for a moment, he didn't want to let people know that he had a secret personal relationship with the Hou Mansion, so he asked him to stay in Zhuyuan and didn't come out, and when people came, they also went through the back door, how could they let Xiao Qixuan know?
It's not good that I won't answer, so I can only vaguely say: "I came to visit my grandmother, and I don't know if I have left." ”
"Well, I don't have much contact with Lord Li." Xiao Qixuan seems to be kind, but he can't hide his obedient temperament: "I want to leave the adult to discuss the matter of establishing a prince with Bai Hou in private, right?" ”
Bai Chuxi pretended to be stupid and smiled: "Your Highness, do you want to discuss this matter?" ”
"Immediate Storage...... I want to know who Bai Hou is most optimistic about? ”
"It's about the community, and I don't dare to say anything."
Xiao Qixuan saw that he was so cautious, so he chased after him and asked, "What does Bai Hou think, how is the Seventh Prince?" ”
"The seventh prince is honest and honest, and the eighth prince is enlightened, intelligent and clever at the age of four, and each has his own strengths."
Bai Chuxuan was as kind as ever, obviously not the answer Xiao Qixuan wanted, he raised his hand unhurriedly towards the person behind him, and the person behind Xiao Qixuan sent the brocade box in his hand to Bai Chuxuan.
When I opened it, it was actually the token of the envoy of the Jin Palace, Bai Chuxi was puzzled, the envoys of the palace were all appointed by the saints?
Xiao Qixuan continued: "The envoy of the Jin Palace, Bai Hou looked at the pick, and I looked at Bai Hou's little apprentice, Xun Xiaogongzi of Qingguo Mansion, who was very good. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your love, Jingqi is too young and has no qualifications to be the envoy of this palace."
"The Jin Palace, which can be regarded as the most idle place in the imperial city, is naturally not verbose, although Xun Xiaogongzi is still young, he has the true inheritance of Baihou, how can he not do it? If Bai Hou thinks that Xun Xiaogongzi is really younger, Jiang An is not bad. ”
Xiao Qixuan was not afraid that Bai Chuxi would think that Xun Jingqi was young, but that he was afraid that he would think that Xun Jingqi was not close enough, so he mentioned Jiang An.
This is to use Xun Jingqi to win over Bai Chuxi and send a favor to the Qingguo Mansion, could it be that he really has the heart to win the prince? absolutely
Seeing Bai Chuxi pondering, Xiao Qixuan took the opportunity to ask again: "What does Bai Hou think of the Nine Emperors?" ”
"The Nine Emperors?"
The Nine Emperor Princes already had two elder brothers in front of him, and neither he could take his turn to establish a successor or a chief, and his identity was complicated, so he was not in the consideration of the ministers.
When Xiao Qixuan mentioned this, Bai Chuxi understood that he wanted to pull the Rong family to stand behind the Nine Emperor Princes with the Xun family and the family. The Nine Emperor Sons are young, and their biological mother has no cronies in the imperial city, so she is easy to control.
At this moment, Bai Chuxi looked at the token in his hand and felt hot, and refused to hold it in his hand for a while. So he closed the brocade box, put it on the desk and pushed it forward: "The royal envoy of the Jin Palace's palace is still the most suitable one selected by the saint, and His Royal Highness must not live up to the saint's good intentions in order to lift up." The Holy Dragon is in good health, and he is determined to abide by his duty, and no matter who succeeds him, he will be covered by the Horse Leather Shroud. ”
The meaning couldn't be clearer, although he didn't say anything unpleasant, Xiao Qixuan was the same disgraced when he went out.
Standing quietly behind the screen and listening for a long time, he was finally able to get out of the screen and say, "He should have taken your handle and said this." ”
"Maybe he had too much hope for me, so he was so hasty."
In any case, Bai Chuxi turned away His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and Bai Chuxi also knew that since Xiao Qixuan had revealed his intentions to himself, he would not stop there.
When I returned to Zhuyuan later, looking at Rong Changning, who was looking at the accounts with his stomach upright, Bai Chuxi, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was a little more worried.
He stood in front of the window and listened to the sound of the wind hitting the bamboo leaves, looking in the direction of the Jin Palace, and there were also people in the Jin Palace, looking in the direction of the Ming Wuhou Mansion.
Fu Yu stood behind Xiao Qixuan and listened to him complain: "I said a long time ago that Bai Chuxi will not be used by me, except for it, it will be a hundred." ”
"There is only one left in the white family's room, and I am afraid that it is more difficult to save him than to save you."
"You!" Xiao Qixuan was so angry that he wanted to do it, but he had to suppress the anger in his heart.
"He's still useful."
"When he mentions it today, he will definitely keep an eye on the Nine Emperor Princes."
"He knows best that the divine will is unpredictable, and he will not be biased at will until the position of the prince is decided. He wanted to be shrouded in horse leather, so he would give him a chance to shroud in horse leather. ”
……
The autumn rain is drenched, and the night is slightly cold and lonely.
To the west of the Imperial City, there is a mountain behind the hills, on which huge rocks fall, and below which are iron ore dug deep for January. The sky was still cloudy, the rain did not stop, and with the sound of a boulder exploding, the mountain collapsed instantly, and dozens of coolies were still uncertain about their lives and deaths.
As soon as the smoke rose in the imperial city, the Imperial City Division sent people to surround the three rooms of the Bai family, and even Bai Chuxi, who had just changed into an official robe, was taken away.
Rong Changning worriedly followed all the way to the door, and watched Bai Chuxi get on the horse and follow the people of the Imperial City Division. After turning around and waiting for a long time, Xun Jingqi finally rushed into the bamboo garden quickly: "Master! ”
Finally waiting for someone to come, Rong Changning held Xiao Dong's hand tightly and walked forward, and saw Xun Jingqi running sweating profusely, and saw Rong Changning angry, and said slowly: "I went home and inquired, it was the iron mine behind the hill that collapsed." That mine was privately opened by the eldest son of the Bai family's third room! Not to mention that it is a big crime to open an iron mine privately, dozens of lives are still pressed inside! ”
"How so? How could he be so stupid?! ”
"My father said that the third room and the long room were originally separated, and there may be hope for the master's careful response."
If something happened in the third room, Bai Chuxi would not leave it. This time, I'm afraid it's not good. Rong Changning hurriedly called Xiao Dong: "Go and tell your subordinates, and pay attention to what you talk to the old lady." ”
Then he sat alone in the house and waited, not knowing how long it would take to put the person back, so Rong Changning waited from dusk to dusk, and finally heard someone shouting in front of him: "Master Hou is back!" ”
Rong Changning looked back, and saw that Bai Chuxi's face outside the window was not good-looking, but when he saw himself, he suddenly laughed. threw the official hat into Jiang An's hand, and ran towards Rong Changning quickly: "Why are you standing here?" ”
"What the hell is going on? Is it really a private iron mine? ”
Bai Chuxi didn't answer, and patted Rong Changning on the shoulder: "I have to leave the imperial city." ”
"What?"
"The Holy Lord ordered me to be stationed at the Dome Pass and take charge of the Fengyang Tong Office. Pack up tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you will take office. ”
"You've been demoted from the Imperial City? Because Sanfang privately opened an iron mine? ”
"Since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, it has always been a felony to release salt and iron privately. Even if the Imperial City Division found out that this matter had nothing to do with the long house, the wind would blow to the side, and the court had different opinions, and the court had different opinions. The Holy One has to do this, don't ask for it anymore. He was only demoted to the official, but he never dismissed the knight. ”
"The dome is full of wind and sand and the climate is gratuitous, I heard that people are often buried in the desert, and the saint asked you to garrison the dome pass?! So when will you be able to come back? Rong Changning grabbed Bai Chuxi's hand tightly and refused to let go: "What about me?" ”
"Naturally, you have to stay in the Imperial City, the dome is not easy to live, and you are pregnant to go to a different place. You also have to take care of the family. ”
