Chapter 142: Assassination
Bai Yin was so angry that Bai Yuan's face turned blue and red, and he now knew why Mo Wenqing wanted to withdraw from the marriage. But thinking that Bai Jin insisted on not wanting to withdraw from the marriage, maybe he didn't know about it yet.
"For the sake of a woman, you don't even care about courtesy, righteousness and shame! In this case, how dare the heavy power of military affairs be handed over to you? Baiyuan listened to the order, handed over all military powers from now on, relieved all duties, and stayed in Zhaowei Palace for reflection. ”
After Baiyin finished speaking, he looked at the motionless Baiyuan with sharp eyes, "What, you are not convinced by my will?" ”
Bai Yuan hung his head and knelt down slowly, "Erchen will receive the decree." ”
……
In the water hall, Bai Jin was preparing to eat, and he saw a palace guard come to see him.
"Your Highness, Your Second Highness has just been relieved of all military powers and duties by the king."
Bai Jin's movements in his hands did not stop, and there was no surprise on his face, "Got it, you go down." ”
What the hundred wishes did, and the king's reaction, were all expected by the hundred hearts. Looks like it's time for him to come out next.
On the second day, Bai Jin came to the king to discuss the wedding.
"Liu Xi is Mo Jun's beloved daughter, and she is quite liked by her father, so her son naturally doesn't want to wronged her, so she came to discuss the details of the wedding with her father. In addition, I also have to ask my father, Liu Xi is married from Mozambique, if so, when will she go back to get married? ”
Baijin's voice is warm, calm, and he tells things clearly. Listening to Baiyin's ears, he was satisfied with his actions, and thinking of Baiyuan's words last night, I felt a little guilty about him.
Originally, Baiyin was very fond of Liuxi, but since she learned about her and Baiyuan last night, she didn't treat Liuxi so much. Liu Xi is so behaving, how can she be the daughter of Yuzhen? Therefore, he is not so concerned about Liuxi's marriage now.
"Then let her go back to get married sooner." After Baiyin finished speaking, she seemed to be afraid that Bai Jin would suspect something, and added: "Mo Jun loves her daughter, let her go back and accompany Mo Jun for a few more days, whether it is filial piety, what do you think?" ”
"That's fine, then I'll go back and prepare first."
"Wait." Bai Yin stopped Bai Jin and said in a deep voice: "Since Ruan Tianyou was deposed, Bai Yuan has become more and more unorthodox, and his father has taken back the rights in his hands, and the three major military powers in his hands will be temporarily handed over to you." In addition, you will temporarily assist in the affairs of the people's livelihood. ”
Bai Jin knelt down uprightly, "Bai Jin is willing to try his best and do his best to share his father's worries." ”
"Good, good!" Baiyin nodded with a smile, and said to Baijin: "For my father, I have something to do with you." ”
"What?" Confessing things so quickly and letting him do it, with Bai Jin's understanding of Bai Yin, he could guess that this was not a good thing, but he still asked quietly and lightly.
"You also know that last year there were many natural disasters and military disasters, and this year both taxes and tributes of various countries will be reduced, what can you do?" Baiyin didn't say his purpose, but asked tentatively.
Bai Jin pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to Bai Yin: "Erchen thinks that it is not easy for the people to live, and it is not advisable to increase taxes, and the same is true for vassal states. Now the only way to restore the civilian population, and to start from the nobles to be thrifty, to stop the use of foreign troops, and to send the armies of the candidate countries to hold the borders on their behalf, so that the pressure of internal service can be eased, and the foreign service princes will not be embarrassed, and those people will not rebel against temporary hardship if they see that even the nobles have begun to be thrifty. ”
In just such an instant, Baijin had already thought of a feasible way, and it was taking into account the interests of all parties. But his suggestion was not agreed with by Baiyin.
"You are still inexperienced in dealing with government affairs. If the nobles begin to be frugal, the tribes will think that we will become poor and weak, and that we will cause more trouble. Besides, how can the border guard be handed over to the vassal states? When the time comes, the military power will be lost, and it will be a big disaster for the dynasty! ”
Bai Jin knows that Ruan Tianyou and Bai Yin's temperament has always liked luxury and vanity, even if the national strength is empty, it must be prosperous outside. He didn't try much to persuade him. In fact, his best thing to do at this time was to listen to Baiyin's words silently, and he shouldn't make any more suggestions, but when he thought of those people who were living in difficulty, Baijin couldn't bear it.
The weakness of the dynasty was, on the one hand, the luxurious pleasures of the nobility, and on the other hand, constant wars. Over the years, my father has tried his best to take down one tribe after another, and his territory has been expanding, but he didn't realize that his control over this territory is getting weaker and weaker, and even those vassal states have to use marriage to win them over.
Fortunately, the father only had two sons, him and Baiyuan, if he had daughters...... I don't know how many people will fall victim to his authority.
"Father is too worried. Allowing the vassal states to transfer troops to guard the borders only reduces the pressure and expense of the internal army. If the father has any concerns, he can send the two ** teams to one place to supervise each other, which can check and balance their military power. In addition, they can be regularly transferred to different borders to guard this problem. Bai Jin spoke again.
"We'll talk about that before." Baiyin waved his hand.
Bai Jin knew that he had not listened to his words, and he did not want to listen to them, so he did not say anything more, and stood quietly.
"After all these years of mixed forces and constant fighting in the southern jungle, it is time to clear the southern border. It just so happens that Nanan is your fiefdom, and you know all the tribes over there, and now that you are in charge of the three armies, I will leave this matter to you. Baiyin said irrefutably.
Bai Jin sneered in his eyes, and he said that how could his father be so relieved to hand over the power of the three armies to him, it turned out that he had found a thankless job for himself. However, he could not refuse.
"Thank you for your trust, and I will do my best."
Return to the Water Temple.
Bai Jin casually threw the talisman on the table, and sneered: "Soldier power? Hmph, since my father wants to purge the southern tribes, then it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate. ”
Mozambique.
Guiyi received a letter from Mo Wenqing, he wanted to take Liu Xi back to be married, and was ready to marry Bai Jin. After reading the letter, Guiyi was silent for a long time.
In the previous life, Bai Jin and Liu Xi did hold a wedding, which Bai Jin forcibly requested, but the marriage did not come to fruition, but set off a bloody storm and completed the change of power of the dynasty.
Is this day coming so soon?
No, not so fast.
Gui Yi cleared all other thoughts out of his mind, put down the letter in his hand, and asked people to call Gui Heng.
"What do you want from me?" Gui Heng was guarding outside Guiyi's door, almost guarding her safety.
