248 Is it God's Damnation?
248 Is it God's Damnation?
Yang Heng was actually very willing to be blackmailed by Bai Poria in his heart, so after deliberately hesitating for a while, he took out a hemispherical jade bead carved into a lotus shape only the size of a thumb from his arms, and said, "The pearl is gone, and it is the same if you accept this jade bead." ”
Bai Poria took the jade beads that still had body temperature, the beads passed through a slender green silk rope in the middle, and the bottom of the lotus flower was engraved with two words with complicated strokes, this font Bai Poria has only been seen on some copper bells, copper tripods and seals, it is the ancient style of characters here, similar to the ancient Chinese seal book, for her kind of guy who does not learn and has no skills, it is too difficult to identify, she thought it was a mascot ornament in the palace, and accepted it without much thought, but she did not find a strange look flashing in Yang Heng's eyes.
Bai Poria succeeded in blackmailing, and he was in a good mood, and suddenly thought of what he came to talk to his grandfather, nineteen did not leave to ask his grandfather to do things for him, and now although the emperor is seriously ill, he can still control the government by manipulating a few princes who stay in the capital and his own cronies, will it be dangerous for grandpa to wade into troubled waters at this time?
Thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa said, you should go back to the capital soon, are you sure?" ”
Yang Heng smiled and said, "I've been planning for so long, so I'm naturally a little sure." Half a month ago, his father had summoned the members of the clan and the court, and publicly announced that if any prince could find a cure for his strange illness, he would make him the prince and never break his promise. His smile was tinged with a hint of ridicule, and the mention of the word "father" was also very cold.
Bai Poria thought of what the emperor had done, and it was indeed difficult for his son to respect him and love him, but what was his child's play promise?
"His illness ...... Can't do it anymore? Or is it deliberately setting up a situation to lure you into being fooled? Bai Poria thought for a moment and asked.
"Both. Knowing that I will have to return to Beijing in the near future, I propose such a bait at this moment, if I can really find someone who can cure him, I am afraid that without him saying anything, the spittle of the imperial historian can drown me, poison the monarch's father, and attempt to usurp the throne can be regarded as confirmed. There was no longer half a smile on Yang Heng's face.
It is a fact that the emperor's health is failing, after the diagnosis and treatment of many imperial doctors, his condition has stabilized for a while, and recently it has broken out again, and in the face of the threat of death, everything can be sacrificed, including the throne and authority that he finally obtained. Therefore, he openly declared that he was willing to exchange the position of prince for a cure for the disease.
This disease came too strangely, and the emperor was almost certain that it was a ghost caused by Yang Heng and Gan Sui, but no one could cure the famous doctor and holy hand he recruited in every possible way, and even the disease continued to erupt repeatedly after a short period of remission, torturing him to a life-and-death dilemma.
Jun has no jokes, although the promise made by the emperor is absurd, but once it is announced in front of many clans and officials in the court, it is a holy decree, and the south will regret it, so all the princes understand the hidden danger but can't help but be moved.
The emperor had to give in at the moment of his life, but he still had to lay a dead end and was ready to fight back.
"I don't know whether to praise him for being smart or stupid, whether he wants someone to treat him or someone to watch him die in order to avoid suspicion." Bai Lingling sneered, there was no one else in the cabin, and there were Bai family guards outside, so she said that she would not worry about a third party hearing anything.
Although Yang Heng was very disappointed in what his father had done, and even did a lot of disobedient things, he still couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard Bai Lingling say these words of criticism and ridicule of the king of a country without care.
He secretly smiled bitterly, he really didn't know how the Bai family and his wife taught such an unscrupulous and respectful daughter, but he felt that everything she did was taken for granted.
"My father thinks that only if the bait is attractive enough, even if there is a risk, someone will be willing to take the bait." Yang Heng seemed to be talking about other people's affairs, with a bystander attitude that had nothing to do with himself.
Now several princes in the capital occupy the top of the mountain, no one can overpower anyone, if you want to defeat all other opponents with your own strength and finally ascend the throne, even if Yang Heng does not know for many years, he does not dare to say that he has a certain victory.
At this time, as long as the emperor says a word, he can save all the battles and ascend to the sky directly, who would not be moved?
Therefore, even if he knew that he might be suspected or even pointed out as the murderer who poisoned and murdered the monarch's father, as long as he really had a way to cure the emperor's strange illness, he still couldn't help but take a risk.
"His illness ...... Is it Gansui? Bai Poria finally couldn't help but ask. No matter the timing of the emperor's illness or the weird and terrible symptoms, it is easy to remind people of Gansui.
Although this mean and ungrateful emperor has nothing to sympathize with, but when she thinks that Gan Sui can even do it to her father, and even Yang Heng is an accomplice, she feels furious.
There have been many fathers and sons who have killed each other for the throne in history, but once it happens to oneself, to someone you know and is quite close to, it is still unacceptable.
Yang Heng shook his head and affirmed, "No." ”
It can't be you, right? Bai Ling's eyes became strange when she looked at Yang Heng.
Yang Heng understood what she meant, and denied with a wry smile: "It's not me either...... Although he was hateful, I didn't think of killing him myself. When I was a child, he really loved me. ”
"I'm sorry." Bai Poria was ashamed, it was very wrong to doubt people like this.
The emperor's illness, could it be that God can't see it and wants to clean him up? White Poria is full of question marks.
Yang Heng stood up and said, "If you want to know, come to the capital next year to participate in my enthronement ceremony, and I will tell you the answer." ”
"Rare!" Bai Poria snorted, and then asked a little strangely, "Are you so sure that you can make it next year?" ”
"Of course, wouldn't it be a disappointment to your faith in me?" Yang Heng still spoke in the tone of a gentle joke, but Bai Poria could hear the difference, which clearly carried the confidence and majesty of looking down on the world.
Bai Poria glanced at her and said, "Then I'll congratulate you here first!" My grandfather, did he have any plans to tell you about him? ”
Yang Heng said abruptly: "Are you worried that your grandfather will be in danger if he is involved in these things?" Don't worry, I'll invite him to Beijing after I ascend the throne. Speaking of which, this girl was afraid that her grandfather would be affected by him, instead of caring about him and his affairs, Yang Heng was a little disappointed in his heart, and his expression became cold.
Bai Poria was exposed on the spot, and laughed dryly.
Yang Heng wanted to get along with her for a while, but he had no choice but to leave abruptly, and said to Bai Poria when he parted: "That jade bead is very precious, you should take care of it...... Don't let Gan Sui see it. ”
"Huh? Why? Bai Poria wanted to ask clearly, but Yang Heng smiled and didn't answer, and turned to leave.
Bai Poria thought about it, it is estimated that Yang Heng probably doesn't want to be jealous if she knows, Yang Heng likes her, she knows, she estimates that Yang Heng will not harm her for no reason, so she did not continue to pursue this matter.
After bidding farewell to Yang Heng, the next journey was very smooth, the Bai family's ships stopped and stopped, and soon entered the Dingzhou area adjacent to Connecticut, and the people of the Bai family went ashore and changed to land, and arrived at Bai Changshan's hometown of Changlong County in less than two days.
During this period, Gan Sui once visited Bai Poria several times at night, and Bai Poria seemed to have completely forgotten the unhappiness between the two, and Gan Sui was single-mindedly pleased, although the time between the two was short, it added a little sweetness.
Gan Sui was very strange about Bai Poria Cocos's attitude, he didn't dare to say that he knew Bai Poria very deeply, but as far as he saw and heard since they met, this little girl was by no means a magnanimous and virtuous person, if she sneered at him or even scolded and kicked him, he still felt normal, and now she has such a peaceful attitude that nothing bad has happened, they seem to have returned to the harmonious and sweet time of the first try**.
Gan Sui is naturally happy like a fairy, knowing that this thing is abnormal everywhere, and he often can't help but have some ominous premonitions in his heart.
But he is busy with his own affairs, and it is rare that Bai Poria does not make trouble with him, where does he have time to think carefully about the strangeness.
Changlong County was just a little-known small village and town a few decades ago, just because of Bai Changshan such a cabinet scholar, so the fame is almost with Bai Changshan's rise step by step and louder, even if Bai Changshan is not particularly deliberate, the successive state officials also attach great importance to Changlong County, what is good, first of all, always push to Changlong County, so now such a small place has become a big county in Dingzhou.
The Bai clan is thin, and the Bai clan in the whole county is full of no more than a dozen people, many of whom have increased the population in recent years, and none of these people are particularly close to Bai Changshan, but they are also stained with his light, and they are very nourishing.
The Bai family lived in Changlong County until the fifteenth day of the first month of the following year, worshiped their ancestors, and also named the two little dolls and put them on the family tree.
The Bai family went south, and Gan Sui was originally unwilling, but he also received news that he needed to rush to the capital to meet Yang Heng, so he had to reluctantly say goodbye to his lover for a while, and when he left, he also told him to remember to return before June, otherwise he would personally chase him to the island to arrest people and so on.
From Dingzhou to Haizhou, it was another month.
As the name suggests, Haizhou is facing the south of Qi State, the Bai family has built a wharf here, formed a merchant fleet, and even has several large warships responsible for guarding merchant ships.
The magnificent scenery and warm climate along the coast are refreshing, and even the fellow Baichang Mountain is amazed, and often plays around with the white poria. It's just that Bai Chou and Mu Peilan seem to be in high spirits on the surface, but when they think that their daughter's seventeenth birthday has passed, and now there is less than a year left, they can't help but feel sad, they don't want Bai Changshan to find out, and they don't want to make their daughter sad together, so they only hold their reluctance in their hearts and carefully cherish this last beautiful scene.
