The ban on the twenty squares in the inner city has not been lifted, and Bai Yuan took back the token in the army to make the city defense army open the door and go home.

Bai Fuzhong was also in full array, and the gates and walls of each house were guarded by the householders, and when they saw them returning, the householders immediately escorted them to the main house.

Due to the turmoil in Beijing, in order to facilitate centralized action, dozens of people in the four rooms of the Bai Mansion were all gathered in the main courtyard by Bai Yicheng.

When Qu Muge and Bai Yuanhui walked into the middle hall, Bai Yicheng scolded Bai Yuan in front of everyone: "You bastard, where did you take the princess without saying a word?" Something big happened in Beijing, and we have to risk sending people around to look for you, can't you save some snacks for your family? ”

Seeing that his son was safe and sound, Tao jumped up and cried and said, "You are scared to death as a mother!" ”

Bai Yuanhui was about to apologize, but Qu Muge stopped him and stepped forward and said, "Don't blame your grandfather, my cousin didn't mean to take me alone because the emperor's order was difficult to disobey." ”

As soon as he heard "the emperor's order is difficult to disobey", Bai Yicheng's face really looked much better.

Qu Muge said to him and Old Madam Bai: "There is something outside, my cousin and I want to talk to our grandfather and grandmother, and please move to the inner room." ”

Everyone was worried about the situation outside, and the old Bai couple immediately took their two grandsons and granddaughter to go inside.

The uncles and ladies of the various rooms who remained in the middle hall also whispered.

Bai Yuanhui simply said that the Duan and Zuo families rebelled, the emperor Jin Cicada broke out of the shell and left the city in advance, and Gu Nanye said about catching turtles in the urn at the city gate, and said emphatically: "The emperor is worried about the safety of the princess, and he sent a secret decree to me to take the princess out of the city to join him, and when he just sent the princess home, he also told me to protect the princess's safety, saying that this is an opportunity for the Bai family to make up for their mistakes." Grandfather and grandmother, the past is over, as long as we don't make mistakes and are loyal in the future, the emperor will not treat the Bai family badly. ”

Bai Yicheng was a little shocked and asked, "The emperor really doesn't pursue the previous matter?" ”

Qu Muge helped explain: "Grandfather, before returning to my cousin, confessing to the emperor the old scandals of the Bai family and the Zuo family is a bit risking the fate of the Bai family. But only by solving this hidden danger from the root can the Bai family and the Zuo family be completely torn apart, otherwise this time the Zuo family rebelled, and the emperor himself dug up the previous scandal, and he would definitely be connected with the Bai family to ask for the guilt. It was my cousin who saved the Bai family, you can't blame him anymore. ”

Bai Yicheng was said like this by a child at his age, and his face was a little unbearable.

Old Madam Bai answered: "Those of us who are elderly, it is inevitable to look ahead and backward when we think about things, and it is still thanks to the princess that the emperor can open up the net." ”

Qu Muge didn't want to be false with them, so he picked up some important words and said: "The ban will be lifted soon, but it will take time to clean up the rebels, and the court may continue to be turbulent for some time. Since the Bai family has prestige in Shilin, they should let their cousins, uncles, and brothers take action to say more for the emperor and the court, and create some momentum, so that his father can feel the loyalty of the Bai family. ”

Old Madam Bai nodded and said, "That's the reason." The princess is so delicate, no wonder the emperor is so partial to you. ”

Qu Muge used to do media propaganda, and this public opinion sensitivity is still there.

After the chaos, the key is to calm people's hearts and control the righteous stance and the home court of public opinion.

In two days, everyone will definitely explore the reasons for the incident between Duan and Zuo's two families, and the emperor doesn't want to make the ugly thing public, so there is one less legitimate reason.

If someone has a heart to talk about the second prince and arrange the emperor's murder, forcing Duan Zuo to rebel, it will not be good.

And if you can't stand your position, when you are sentenced to a crime later, you will be constrained everywhere, which will definitely make it difficult for Gu Nanye, who is doing specific things.

Qu Muge added: "The emperor forgave the Bai family so quickly, and Gu Hou played a big role. This time to protect the emperor and clear the rebels, Gu Hou has made a great contribution, you also have to promote it for him, and it can be regarded as a thank you to Gu Hou for saving the Bai family when they were in danger. ”

She turned to Bai Yuanhui and said, "The academy shouldn't resume classes so soon, I'll stay at home these days, you don't have to worry about my safety, just accompany my grandfather, and tell everyone how the rebels get power in the harem, how to control the government, and how to treat the border guards." ”

Her words have a bit of "supervision", and the Bai family must implement this matter.

Bai Yicheng didn't listen very happily, but he suddenly realized that he couldn't disobey this little ancestor.

The emperor can put down his words, this little ancestor is the opportunity for the Bai family to make up for his mistakes!

After Emperor Yong successfully returned to the palace, the situation in the court was also changing rapidly.

In the next half a month, several holy decrees were passed on in the Yangxin Palace, first investigating and prosecuting more than ten senior members of the Criminal Department, the Military Department and the Ministry of Officials, and then rewarding Gu Nanye, the commander of the Beijing Military Guard, from the Marquis of Xiling to the Marquis of Yiyong, temporarily receiving the post of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and ordering Dali Temple to assist and deal with the affairs of the party.

In addition, he was promoted to Xiling Military Town, and Fuliang Dao was designated as the secretary of the military department, and Ge Zheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was moved to the head of the Ministry of Officials.

In this way, Emperor Yongdi was actually able to control the four major centers of the Criminal Department, the Military Department, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Rites, which greatly weakened the control of his relatives over the government.

The people who guarded the emperor in Tianyin Pavilion were also rewarded.

Song Xiyuan entered the office in cloth clothes and was appointed as the director of the Department of Rites; Fan waded into the military department to assist Liang Daoding; Xu Baoru followed Gu Nanye into the Criminal Department; Feng Hu still stayed in the pro-army guard to help Gu Nanye deal with the affairs of the forbidden army; Bai Yuanhui also received an appointment, and the official was reinstated and returned to Jinyiwei.

In the spring of the first year of the Taiping, the government of the Yong Dynasty was also full of vitality like the earth where everything was recovering.

In the blink of an eye, on the first day of the third month of Yangchun, Qu Muge returned to the palace as usual to ask for peace, and saw that Emperor Yongdi was busy with government affairs, so he returned to the Bai family without staying long.

As soon as she arrived at Baiyutang, Tao came to look for her.

March 18 is Princess Taixuan's fourteenth birthday, and the Bai family wants to do it ceremoniously, firstly, to reflect the importance of the princess in front of the emperor, and secondly, to take the opportunity to manage the relationship between the Bai family in the capital.

But Qu Muge didn't want to.

She was most afraid of this kind of troublesome thing, and she was not willing to be taken advantage of, so she said to Bai Tao, who came to ask her what she meant: "There are birthdays every year, and they are not full years old or timely, so there is no need to make a big deal." ”

Bai Taoshi persuaded: "Although there are birthdays every year, but this year is different, this is your first birthday after recovering your identity, so naturally you should make up for the previous ones." ”

Qu Muge still shook his head and said: "My father is not the only princess of mine, the sisters are looking at each other, I am doing a lot of things, I will attract discussion." When I entered the palace today to greet my grandmother and father, I had already told the Ministry of Internal Affairs that on my birthday, like other sisters, I would go back to the palace and kowtow to my grandmother and father, and just have a meal together. ”
