Only Yun Yuhong's people were left in the house, plus Bai Ziyu. The clever ghost, the stingy ghost, and the crybaby ghost consciously stood outside the house and guarded, so that the idlers could not get close, Bai Zhu went back to the room to prepare the medicine, and inside the house, Yun Yuhong, Lao Dao, Mr. Ning and Bai Ziyu sat down at the table.

Bai Ziyu said in a preface: "I will thank the eldest princess for her rescue in prison, and the Golden Palace testifies for her grace."

Yun Yuhong looked at Bai Ziyu and found that his expression was a little less intimate and more alienated than before, so she couldn't help frowning. Is this to blame her for hiding her identity, or is it because she is a princess, and the identity gap gives him an idea?

Yun Yuhong looked at Bai Ziyu and didn't speak, the others were a little embarrassed, but Mr. Ning opened his mouth to break the silence and said, "The eldest princess should have something important to come here today, right?" ”

Yun Yuhong nodded, told her what happened in the palace in the past two days, and sighed lowly at the end. Bai Ziyu couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she heard that Yun Yuhong had hit a wall in her grandfather's house and was controlled everywhere in the palace, and her eyes were a little more concerned when she looked at Yun Yuhong. Lao Dao shouted in his heart on the side, Bai Ziyu, you stupid, don't be deceived by her, she is so fragile, if you weren't here, she would have jumped to her feet and scolded. But he only dared to say these things in his heart, and what he actually put on was a look of concern.

Receiving Bai Ziyu's gaze, Yun Yuhong's heart felt better, and said to Bai Ziyu: "I just came back, and I only know that the four major armies of these five great families are waiting for a big situation, but I don't know how to divide the forces in Beijing, can Bai Gongzi give me some advice." ”

Mr. Ning picked up a cup of tea and drank it down, swallowing back the words that came to his lips. These Yun Yuhong had arranged for him to inquire earlier, and he was going to talk about it just now, but now he obviously didn't need it.

Bai Ziyu nodded and said, "I just returned to Beijing, and I don't know much about this." Originally, the relationship between the five great families and the four major Houfu was not close, when the first emperor, because the Wencui Academy opened by the Zhou family was dominant in the Moyun country, half of the officials in the court and the central government were born in the Zhou family academy, so that the Zhou family was in the limelight for a while, and the first emperor began to reuse the Liu family, and after sealing the Liu family's daughter's family, in order to balance with the Zhou family, the Liu family developed rapidly under the help of the first emperor's intention, so the officials in the court and China were gradually divided into the Liu faction and the Zhou faction. But because the Liu family has a daughter in the harem, and there is a prince, they will press the Zhou family, and the civil officials have a clear faction, and the Zhou family began to fight the idea of military generals, just when my grandmother passed away, so the Zhou family married their daughter into the Bai family. Later, the first emperor was dissatisfied with the participation of military generals in these parties, so he sent the four candidates to guard the border, and ordered that he should not return to Beijing without a recall, which brought the situation under control. It's a pity that in the later years of the first emperor, there was also a matter of the prince competing for the prince, and the Liu family naturally wanted to protect the prince at that time, that is, the current emperor, so he still married Jingwu Hou and Jinghui Hou. also chose the daughter of the Yu family of the five major families, which is the current concubine, and the daughter of the Zhou family, which is the current Concubine Hui, as the side concubine. It's a pity that the emperor's way of checks and balances has not been learned by the emperor today. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Ziyu glanced at Yun Yuhong and saw that she was not unhappy, so he continued: "After Qianzong ascended the throne, at the insistent request of the Queen Mother, he first set up the daughter of the Liu family as a virtuous concubine, and then he was afraid that the daughter of the Liu family would be lonely, and then set up the daughter of the Marquis of Jingwu, who was close to the Liu family, as the concubine. ”

Yun Yuhong was also sighing in her heart, the first emperor still loved his son, and when he was dying, he had already paved the way for Qianzong. First of all, he found a neutral but powerful Jingyuan Houfu, which was the backer of Qianzong and a force that could be grasped in his own hands. And the Liu family is powerful, then use the Zhou family to suppress it, one Zhou family is not enough, then add the Yu family, so the Zhou family daughter and the Yu family daughter are set up as side concubines, as long as the Qianzong balances the Liu family and the Zhou family, and then find a way to collect the other families as used, this court Qianzong will be able to play. It's a pity that the first emperor missed the queen mother and let her stuff two people from the Liu family into the palace at once, and the balance was broken again. The Zhou family looked down on and was not close to the Yu family, which started as a businessman, so they constantly strengthened their ties with the Yasukuni Hou Bai family and became attached to the Bai family. The Yu family also had a thought, and simply came together with the Zhang family and the Dong family, who were not very valued. Jing Yuanhou couldn't get additional support from Qianzong, and was isolated by other families, so he naturally had the idea of finding another backer, and at this time, the Bai family threw out an olive branch. In today's situation, Qianzong has to bear the main responsibility, he did not withstand the pressure of the queen mother, the Liu family could not hold it down, the Zhou family and the Bai family were in harmony with the civil and military forces, and there was no restraint and let him sit big, and the only Jing Yuanhou who could grasp it in his hands also left him, and the courtiers were torn apart, forming a party for personal gain, and what was more serious was that the Liu family had two Wuhou support, and the Zhou family now had two Wuhou support. Yun Yuhong couldn't help but imagine that a few years later, in order to compete for the throne, the two major families and the four great martial marquis caused a big war in Moyun's country, and the border pass was negligent in defense, and the enemy country took advantage of it, and the people of Moyun were not able to make a living.

Mr. Ning added: "In fact, this alliance of interests is not unbreakable, and I heard that the relationship between the Jingwu Hou family and the Liu family has not been very good recently. "The concubine of the Jingwu Hou family also gave birth to a prince, so the Jingwu Hou didn't want to fight.

Bai Ziyu snorted coldly, "What are the four great martial marquis and the five great families, they are all a group of villains who are greedy for profit and forget righteousness, misleading the country and the people. If these people gain power, Mo Yun will not be far from the country. "Is he scolding his own family?

Yun Yuhong continued: "That's a good point, so I absolutely can't let these families gain power." "You really don't even care about Jingyuan Houfu?

Lao Dao interjected next to him: "The two of them are for the country and the people, and they are admired for their righteousness." Mr. Ning glared, wouldn't the Taoist be asleep and confused, why did these two kill their relatives in righteousness?

Yun Yuhong nodded: "If they can have a trace of repentance, I will also leave them a trace of life." ”

Bai Ziyu said: "The so-called extremes of things must be reversed, and prosperity must decline, the Bai family now has no style of military generals, and defeat is inevitable." ”

Lao Dao looked at Mr. Ning, I Lao Dao eats more salt than you eat, I just said what these two people said in their hearts, Lao Dao, I still see people accurately, these two people are two ruthless people. Yun Yuhong ignored Lao Dao and Mr. Ning, but looked at Bai Ziyu opposite each other.

What Bai Ziyu thinks is: If you can really have this determination, have this courage, not be swayed by family affection, and sweep away the accumulated evils, I will help you.

What Yun Yuhong thinks is: If you can really let go of the so-called shackles of family affection and act from the perspective of serving the country and the people, you will live up to my value for you.

When it comes to this, Yun Yuhong's purpose has been half achieved, and the other half seems to be at the wrong time and cannot be implemented.

At this time, there was a sound of talking at the door, and it turned out that Mrs. Xiao sent someone to invite the eldest princess to the old lady's room for dinner.

Old Madam Zhou didn't want to see Yun Yuhong earlier, although it was a princess, but the status of the princess in Moyun Country was really not high, or no princess could stay in Moyun until she was sixteen years old, and she was married as soon as she became an adult, which really made people feel no fear of the princess, plus Yun Yuhong destroyed Mrs. Zhou's plan as soon as she appeared, which made Mrs. Zhou hate Yun Yuhong in her heart. But when she heard that Yun Yuhong left Bai Ziyu to speak, she felt that she couldn't ignore it, so she sent someone to say that she failed to greet Yun Yuhong, and wanted to ask Yun Yuhong for her guilt, and also invited Yun Yuhong to have dinner together.

Yun Yuhong has been "living for a long time" about this invitation to the country, and she wanted to know more, so she took everyone to Mrs. Zhou's Rong'an Xuan for dinner.

On the way over, the stingy ghost secretly said to Yun Yuhong that in the past few days, Bai Ziyu has been wronged and injured again, but no one pays attention to him when he comes home, and lives in a remote small courtyard in the east arranged by the housekeeper, which is similar to the treatment of the concubine. The stepmother didn't care if it was strange, but his father didn't ask, and his own brother didn't take the initiative to take a look, let alone show any closeness to this brother, Bai Ziyu didn't look like a person from this family at all.

Yun Yuhong had expected such a situation, and in the prison, Bai Ziyu said that he had been abandoned by his family. And look at this family, the grandmother is not pro, the stepmother is not pro, the father is pro but not incomplete, the younger brother is pro but too young, and they have not grown up together since childhood, and they can't talk about being close, the only grandfather who is closer to him values the interests of the family the most, for these, the children and grandchildren have to stand aside. It's not easy to be born in a royal family, and it's also not easy to be born in these families. And Bai Ziyu's dissatisfaction and indifference to the Yasukuni Houfu in the hall just now is afraid that he has also given up this home.

When the group came to Rong'an Xuan, Uncle Bai and Second Master Bai, who went out in the morning, also came back, except for the Bai Lao Hou Ye and Bai Ziqi and Bai Zilin brothers who were at the border, the others were all there, men, women and children, Yingying Yanyan, standing in a room full of people.

Mrs. Zhou is a fair-looking, kind-looking and gentle person, but unfortunately Yun Yuhong has seen too many "kind" people, and she has long been immune to such a disguise, in her eyes, this is a shrewd and capable, ruthless old lady, and her combat effectiveness will never be weaker than that of the Queen Mother.

After everyone saw the ceremony, they sat down, the servants came up and set up the dishes, dishes and chopsticks, the women sat at two tables, the men sat at one table on the side, and Yun Yuhong sat next to Mrs. Zhou.

The people present are the oldest in terms of age, but in terms of identity, Yun Yuhong is respected, and it stands to reason that Yun Yuhong can only start eating after Yun Yuhong has moved the chopsticks, but Yun Yuhong is not busy eating. She raised her eyes to look at a skinny little boy on the man's table, and beckoned to him, "Why is there a child who looks like my fourth emperor brother, you come over and I'll take a look." ”

Mrs. Xiao hurriedly called, "Ziren come here, the eldest princess called you." ”

Bai Ziren came to Yun Yuhong's front and said weakly: "I've seen the eldest princess." "He was cowering like a child who had never seen the world.

Yun Yuhong smiled: "What a good boy, really similar to my fourth emperor brother, very likable, how old are you?" ”
