Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess 007
Bai Lian jumped on the high platform to receive the reward without a heart. Ξ Pen Fun Pavilion.
"You can't be proud," Emperor Zhaoqing nodded her head with a pretended reproach, "You have to work hard, you should honestly let the guards protect you." β
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has excellent kung fu, can you not speak with your heart," the rough voice under the martial arts field sounded again, and the round and thick force penetrated the crowd and reached the heavens.
Dare to say that Emperor Zhaoqing is ignorant, this person is really bold?
"General Weiwu, why are you interested in watching the children play?" The Son of Heaven was not angry, but he looked curiously at the tall man in a coarse cloth shirt under the stage, dressed like a chaifu.
"If you don't come to see, how can you see such a wonderful eldest princess, Your Royal Highness the princess, are you interested in killing the enemy on the battlefield with the old man?" His eyes were wide open, and his eyes were as bright as brass bells.
"Nonsense," Emperor Zhaoqing reprimanded, but he was not angry, he was in a great mood at the moment, and he was as happy as the sun.
"Your Majesty, it's Yun Tao who is wrong, forgetting his sister's identity, he really shouldn't have acted arrogantly first, fortunately, his sister is fine, Yun Tao is willing to accept the punishment." Yun Tao was annoyed and annoyed, but his reason was still there, coupled with the persuasion of Yun Guifei and others, he understood the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly came forward to apologize.
"Your Majesty, the prince is humble and benevolent, and everyone knows that such an ending is expected," the Ministry of Rites Shangshu stepped forward.
"You are an old horseman, you don't know martial arts, you are still dizzy, how can the prince be merciful, it is clear that the eldest princess is retreating step by step, if it is not for the princess's kindness, I am afraid that the prince will look good in three moves......" The mighty general grabbed a messy beard and retorted angrily.
Emperor Zhaoqing chuckled, waved his hand and said, "I have already said it, it's just their brother and sister playing, it can't be taken seriously, it doesn't matter who wins or loses." β
Does it really matter?
I'm afraid it's going to change.
"Eldest princess, your ultimate goal is nothing more than that seat, right?" On the way back to the princess's mansion, Shao Lujing held back for a long time, but still asked a forbidden question.
"yes." Bai Lian answered as a matter of course, there is no need for the little partners in her own camp to hide it, not to mention, according to her observation, Emperor Zhaoqing is obviously also shaken, if she can really take charge alone, there must be no shortage of supporters.
Throughout the ages, corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been the most hated and helpless by those in power.
In view of the fact that the taxes paid in Jiangnan have decreased and the disaster relief funds have disappeared, they are divided into two major factions, one group believes that the officials are enriching their own pockets, and the other group believes that the local profiteers and bandits are doing the trouble.
The ministers assigned to investigate went to die one by one, either capsized or were assassinated on a mountain path.
Nowadays, who is in charge of the investigation has become a headache.
"Prince Chong's son is young and promising, and he is also strong in martial arts, so he is a good candidate." The military department Shangshu is always a loyal supporter of the Chong Prince's Mansion, the officials who were killed, are all civilian officials, and the entourage they bring are also the guards of the courtyard, which is like the palace not only has guards from the regular army, but also the green forest heroes collected on the rivers and lakes, so that he is not worried about safety.
"It's not proper, the prince is in the position of a military general, and he was sent to deal with civilian affairs, it's inappropriate, it's inappropriate......," the Ministry of Rites Shangshu retorted.
"Shizi Wen Taowu ......"
"Or should the Ministry select talents for investigation......"
"Your Majesty, the minister proposes that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess rush to Jiangnan with the emperor's order, escorted by the Imperial Forest Army, and set up another minister to assist, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" The silent official Shangshu suddenly threw such a bomb, like a smoke bomb thrown into a battle-torn place, which made people scratch their heads.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, how can she go." The military department Shangshu was furious.
"Since the prince can go, why can't the eldest princess, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is smart and clever, and her martial arts are especially better than the prince, so I think it is more suitable." The secretary of the ministry insisted on his own opinion.
"Yun Shang is pestering Jiangnan but not once or twice," Emperor Zhaoqing seemed to be pondering, "Wen Qing thinks, who is more appropriate for Qincha?" β
Wenqing, which means Wentao Road, the secretary of the ministry.
"The horse master Qin Baiqin is worthy of a heavy responsibility." As soon as these words came out, a group of old foxes below sensitively sniffed out the hidden smell and sent the princess and the horse to go together, wasn't this pre-arranged by Emperor Zhaoqing? If not, they are fooling up officialdom for nothing.
"Hehe, Master Ma has always had the reputation of a talented man, and with him assisting the princess, the old minister thinks it is very appropriate." The Ministry of Rites has always been based on the principle of flattery, and since the facts are certain, he has ended up flattering.
"Then it's decided, after the dispersal of the dynasty, the princess will enter the palace to receive the decree, and she will come out at noon tomorrow." Emperor Zhaoqing made the final decision.
Everyone tried their best, Bai Lian was actually not happy to leave the capital, the original owner was because Shao Lujing went to Jiangnan, and none of the Zhaoqing Emperor and the courtiers supported her succession, so her opponents were slow and reasonable, and when all the details were laid perfectly, they would carry out a coup d'Γ©tat, but now, she obviously got the emperor's bias, and it was difficult to ensure that Prince Chong's Mansion was not desperate.
"Father, I am reluctant to leave you." The Jiangnan Rebellion, she saw it in her eyes, but she could wait for the power to send her henchmen to clean it up, and she didn't need to go there herself.
"Silly child, my father's health is not as good as day by day, and if I don't think about you anymore, your mother has to scold me, Yun Shang, you should know that the emperor has been lonely since ancient times, but he can only be lonely, **** things, you must master it according to your ability," women are so infatuated, Emperor Zhaoqing does not want his daughter to have a bumpy future and be led by a man.
"Father, don't worry, I have the heart to kill and decide, and I will never be merciful." Bai Lian guaranteed.
"That's good, that's good." Compared with soft-heartedness, he would rather her be cold-hearted, the road to the queen is difficult, as long as she sets foot on it, she is destined to have no turning back.
After thinking about it, in addition to not being able to understand the situation in the capital faster, she also has a big advantage when she goes to Jiangnan, that is, she can take the opportunity to cultivate a group of henchmen, or dig out materials that can be made for future use.
"The beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the wine, and the beauties, definitely make Her Royal Highness the eldest princess happy," Shao Lujing held a cup in one hand, half-squinted and happily described the gentle water town of drunken gold fans, it has been out for a long time, and I really miss it a little.
"Just don't take the pony with you." Bai Lian complained, she is not a man, how can she be obsessed with these.
"Master Ma has an important position, unlike me who is free in white clothes, you can rest assured." Patting Qin Baiqin on the shoulder, the beauty took the initiative to throw himself into his arms and hugged him, and he didn't move, and the words changed, "How are you going to find out." β
"With you here, I've never been worried." Bai Lian smiled.
As long as your status is high enough, your methods are ruthless enough, and your connections are wide enough, you will definitely be able to find out.
Bai Lian originally wanted to fight, "As long as there is a problem, investigate it to the end and take it all." β
"Don't you worry that the entire Jiangnan officialdom will be empty at that time," Shao Lujing asked half-teasingly, Qin Baiqin tilted his head slightly, as if he was also curious about her answer.
"Rather than continue to be eroded by them, I'd rather be empty, what's more, I don't believe that there is really no hot-blooded man in this world who is dedicated to being an official and sincerely serving the people." Bai Lian was categorical, "Bai Qin, no matter who it is, how big a backer you are, I hope you don't have any scruples, since my father ordered me to guard the heavens, I will not be able to live up to his wishes."
What Bai Lian didn't say was that just in case, Emperor Zhaoqing had already handed over most of the talismans to her, and even if there was a coup, she had all the confidence.
"Let's go our separate ways, wait until Jiangnan promulgates the decree, Bai Qin, you stay in the government to handle the case, and I will go to the people for a walk," If you don't go around in person to see the customs and people's feelings, and listen to the people's hearts, she is not at ease.
"Okay," Qin Baiqin pondered for a moment and agreed, he originally wanted Shao Lujing to follow Bai Lian, thinking that the eldest princess would come out, and there must be a master of Ouchi to protect her, so he stopped thinking about it.
