148 How much can you give?
Bai Poria looked at the love saint Li Gongzi very weakly, and almost wanted to roll her eyes at him: "Taking Miss Xu to get together with Li Gongzi and solving the marriage of the twelve princesses are two different things, there are priorities, I think for Li Gongzi, the latter is more urgent." ”
The five horses and Li Gongzi looked ashamed at the same time, which they didn't think about, but Li Yunxin always had to see Miss Xu safe and sound with his own eyes to rest assured, and the five horses' subordinates came back that day to describe the terrible virtues of the Xu sisters' "buyer", and they couldn't find out the whereabouts of the Xu sisters later, so how could Li Yunxin rest assured?
These days, his heart is like frying, hating and hurting, thinking that his sweetheart doesn't know what kind of bullying and torture he is suffering, and he wants to hit his head against the wall. Fortunately, yesterday Yang Heng and the five horses accidentally bumped into Bai Thirteen on the road, and the five horses' subordinates recognized that he had been outside the city with the ugly eight monsters who bought the Xu sisters for a while, and then there was no trace of the ugly eight monsters, and it is estimated that the two are familiar even if they are not accomplices.
Yang Heng saw that it was Bai Thirteen, and then recalled that Bai Poria acted every day, and immediately guessed that the Xu sisters were actually bought by her!
Although the little evil girl Bai Poria is savage and bullying, she has always been quite good to the people she bought, and in her hands, she will never suffer and be humiliated.
The five horses wanted to send someone to chase Bai Thirteen, but they didn't expect to be discovered by Bai Thirteen, and they disappeared in a few clicks. Yang Heng explained to him, and he was suspicious, so Yang Heng simply asked him to bring Li Yunxin to the Zhongguo Mansion to pick up people today.
Li Yunxin was like that, Bai Poria understood at a glance that he was not at ease, and he had to see with his own eyes that his sweetheart was safe and sound, so he was so anxious to come to the door to ask for someone.
She wants to do good deeds and pretend to be a good person today, and she can't hit the bitter lord too much, Bai Poria retracted her disdainful gaze, changed the topic and asked, "How does Gongzi Li plan to solve the matter of the twelve princesses?" ”
Li Yunxin really has a countermeasure, but in front of Yang Heng, how dare he speak his mind? Seeing him spitting and spitting, the five horses knew that he was afraid of Yang Heng, so he stood up and said in a deep voice: "Yunxin, you can say bluntly, His Royal Highness is not that kind of person, since he is willing to go on this trip today, he will never do anything to beat the mandarin ducks." ”
Lin Pingzi also mentioned that he had seen Yang Heng and the five horses "eyebrows" in the temple, saying that these two people must have "adulterous affairs", and Bai Poria listened to the words of the five horses again, and he was even more sure, but he didn't know what Yang Heng did to make the five horses trust him so much.
Yang Heng received the pleading gaze of the five horses, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, it doesn't matter, she is ...... I really wronged you, and the marriage should have been a good thing for you and me. If there is anything that needs the help of this palace, this palace will do its best. ”
Li Yunxin is not a pure nerd, Yang Heng's identity is too simple to harm his family, and there is no need to lie to him so carefully.
"My father's friend once said that there was a woman in the neighborhood who had been frail and sick since she was a child, and this year she was 16 years old, and her condition became more and more serious, and the doctor said that she could save her life for two months at most. Her parents are afraid that she will die at a young age and become an ownerless ghost, and they are looking for a husband for her. I couldn't think about it below, so I welcomed her into the door as my wife. Li Yunxin said that there is no need to say any more.
With the momentum of lightning and stealing the bell, he married a wife who was sick and dying and entered the door, and became a married man, and the marriage of the twelve princesses naturally failed, even if the wife did not have time to enter the door or hung up the next day after entering the door, the twelve princesses could not pull down their faces to marry a widower who was a "wife" for the continuation.
Although Li Yunxin has the lowest status among several people here, he is also a high-quality golden turtle when he is outside, and he is not worried about finding a wife who is normal, healthy and beautiful for the time being, he sincerely makes himself a widower, and he actually has the intention to "keep the festival" for the eldest lady of the Xu family!
The five horses were moved by his deep affection, but Yang Heng could only smile bitterly: "Paper can't hold the fire, your marriage will be spread sooner or later, and it will be disrespectful to reach the ears of the father, even if it is inconvenient to ask the guilt publicly, I am afraid that Ling Zun's official career with you will end here, Brother Li has ever thought about it?" ”
Li Yunxin was silent, of course he thought about it, in fact, this method was still thought out by his father, his father had experienced the innocent conviction of his in-laws during this time, the Xia Party was pressing step by step and this rebellion, he had already had the idea of retreating, and he just wanted to resign and go back to the countryside to live a peaceful life. The son swore that he would not marry Miss Xu in this life, and the Xu family ended up with such a bleak ending because of this marriage, he was deeply ashamed of his in-laws, so he let the eldest son go.
Just now Li Yunxin heard Bai Lingling's arrangement for the Xu sisters, and felt that it was better for the two sisters, and they were in a desperate situation, he not only had the news of the Xu sisters, but also hoped to stay with his sweetheart for a long time, he was happy in his heart, thought about the matter again, and decided to stay in the capital at the moment, so he went to the border city to stay with Miss Xu.
"Since His Royal Highness the Sixth is the royal brother of the Twelfth Princess, at least he is more familiar with the situation in the palace than us, with his ingenuity, as long as he is willing to imagine with his heart, there must be a way to solve this marriage for Li Gongzi." Bai Poria smiled and kicked the ball to Yang Heng's side.
Since he wants to win over the five horses, he can't just do favors, but he can't contribute to it.
The five horses had long wanted to ask Yang Heng for help, but thinking that he had no friendship with Li Yunxin, and now was a sensitive time, Yang Heng might have to ruin the good situation that he had won so hard. Now that Bai Poria has opened this mouth for him, he can't help but have some expectations, hoping that Yang Heng can agree to this.
Yang Heng pondered for a moment and said, "This palace does its best, but the details can't be said to ask the county lord to help think about it, I don't know if the county lord is willing to help Li Gongzi do this?" ”
Bai Poria knew that he would not come to the door so simply to help people, and she also had some questions and wanted to ask Yang Heng in private, so she happily agreed.
Yang Heng didn't have time to be happy, so he heard Bai Poria smile and said: "Please cousin greet the two distinguished guests, Your Highness the Sixth, please wait in the side hall, I will come when I go." ”
Yang Heng soon knew why Bai Poria wanted to "come when she went", and when he saw the little civet flower she was holding, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart - how tightly he guarded him!
After the dictation of the two little princes who were rescued, he finally knew why she was so taboo about his approach last time in Yihui Palace, it turned out that the problem was really in the little raccoon flower, this cat was not only fierce, but also for some reason with poison on its body, although the eight dead soldiers who hijacked them had Fang Hai's best efforts to save them, they still have residual poison, which shows how powerful the poison on the little raccoon flower is.
Bai Poria caught the flickering helplessness in his eyes, and immediately became proud, smiling extremely sweetly.
There were only the two of them in the side hall, and she was no longer polite, and asked straight to the point: "You are not like a great benevolent person who is enthusiastic about helping others, why did you come to my house today?" ”
Yang Heng sighed and said, "If you can, you can persuade Lord Bai to resign as soon as possible." ”
Bai Poria raised her eyebrows: "Is this what you mean or what the emperor means?" ”
"I mean, but my father is also optimistic."
"Lord Bai has nothing to do with my family......
"Okay, this matter only barely pierced the last layer of window paper, Lord Bai can't wait to recognize you, he only has one son left with your father, as long as your father or you are willing to speak, he will probably not refuse."
Bai Poria reluctantly said, "Okay, I'll give it a try." "The matter of the bird hiding the bow and the rabbit dead and the dog cooking for the emperor, has always been very skillful and has no psychological burden, and the courtiers can automatically retire before they start to get a good end, this reason, Bai Poria is clear
Although Yang Heng was a kind reminder, it was his father who crossed the bridge and drew the board, and he was now considered an "accomplice", so he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Bai Poria didn't have any excitement and complaint.
The hall was silent for a while, and Bai Poria suddenly said, "You...... If you think that Pingzi has made you dissatisfied in the future, remind him like this, okay? ”
Yang Heng's heart seemed to be blocked by something, and finally nodded stiffly: "Okay!" ”
"I have to say, you are really good to my family." Bai Poria smiled lightly, if Yang Heng swore to heaven that she would never do anything to Lin Ziping, she would think it was ridiculous. The position of the emperor is not so easy to sit on, he must weigh the power interests of all parties, and he must be ruthless at the appropriate time, and he can be as gentle as Zhao Kuangyin to use the means of "releasing military power with a glass of wine", hinting at reminding his subordinates to take the initiative to retire, which is already very kind.
Bai Poria didn't want to continue such a heavy topic, nor did she want to make Yang Heng have some bad feelings about the Zhongguo Mansion because of something that hadn't happened or even wouldn't happen, so she quickly changed the topic and asked, "The queen has only been dead for a few days, why did she suddenly mention the marriage of the twelve princesses?" ”
"In addition to a Xia queen in the palace, there is also a Xia nobleman, this Xia nobleman is the daughter of the Xia family's side branches, and the queen is a distant cousin, she has been in the palace for ten years, she has no children under her knees, and she has always had a close relationship with the queen and the twelve princesses." Yang Heng said.
"Oh, the queen has died, she has no children and no backer, so she wants to please the twelve princesses, take advantage of the emperor's shame on the queen's death, find an ideal husband for the twelve princesses, and expect the twelve princesses to repay the favor in the future and take care of her? It's not a good idea, but I guess there's no other way for her. Bai Poria guessed along his train of thought.
Before the queen was still there, the second prince was a popular candidate for the crown prince, the Xia family was still in power, the twelve princesses naturally did not worry about marriage, and now the powerful backers of the twelve princesses have all fallen, if she wants to marry well, she must take advantage of the emperor's regret and pity for her to settle the matter as soon as possible, otherwise after she keeps filial piety for the queen for a year, maybe the emperor will forget about her.
When the queen was alive, the twelve princesses were arrogant and domineering, I don't know how many palace concubines they offended, and now that the queen is dead, these concubines blow pillow wind in the emperor's ears for three days, how can the twelve princesses resist?
It's not that there are no princesses who have fallen out of favor in the palace and are still unmarried until they are in their twenties, some of them later married some ordinary officials casually, and some even died of obscurity in the palace, how can the twelve princesses not be afraid?
As long as Xia Guiren helped her with this, he would be her great benefactor, and he would have to repay him in the future. At the very least, if the emperor dies and Xia Guiren is not dead, the twelve princesses can take her to the princess's mansion to live for the rest of their lives, instead of being sent to the royal nunnery to be imprisoned until death like other childless concubines.
"The harem woman's thoughts, you know a lot, since that's the case...... Just marry me! Yang Heng smiled as if he was innocent, in exchange for a cold snort from Bai Poria Cocos.
"You want to be bitten by a cat, don't you?" Bai Poria picked up the little civet flower and made a fierce shape to Yang Heng with teeth and claws.
Yang Heng smiled and said, "Don't dare, Sister Poria spares her life." ”
"Speak well, don't always try to take advantage of me."
"I'm serious." Yang Heng smiled bitterly.
"I'm serious too! I won't marry you as seriously as you won't give up the throne. Bai Poria lowered her head and stroked the little civet flower, and said in a firm tone.
"Even if I'm single-minded about you? No two minds? "Yang Heng doesn't understand the crux of the problem, but there was also a precedent in the previous dynasty that there was only one queen in the harem, and Bai Poria was unwilling to share her husband with other women, he could follow the example of the emperor of the previous dynasty, as long as she was alone.
This is not impossible, especially now that there is no force in the court except for Bai Changshan and his family, there is no force enough to blackmail the imperial power, and no one will easily point fingers at the affairs of the harem. As long as Bai Changshan resigns and goes into hiding, his father's doubts about his fear of his relatives interfering in politics will naturally be greatly reduced, and he may have to wronged Lu Ying and Lin Pingzi to be a noble minister with a position but no power, but with the feelings of these two people for Bai Poria, her wishes will inevitably come first.
Bai Poria looked up in surprise, she hadn't done anything to Yang Heng, why did he give up the entire garden for her flower? Especially if this garden is to be abandoned, it will have to pay a lot of price.
Yang Heng looked at her steadily, his face lost his usual amorous smile, and said seriously: "My mother died of a sudden illness when I was young, I don't say what happened in between, I don't say that you can guess it, and I don't want the woman I really like to suffer this disaster one day." I hope you can always be by my side like this. ”
Bai Poria is most afraid that people will be serious about her, and she can't afford it and can't repay it. She didn't answer Yang Heng's question directly, and asked rhetorically: "If you were Li Yunxin, what would you do if something like this happened?" Or, if your father asks you to choose between me and the throne, what will you do? ”
Yang Heng was stunned for a moment, he could claim sweetly that he loved the country and loved the beauty more, but under the gaze of Bai Poria's clear eyes, he couldn't say a word, and said half-paid: "It's unfair for you to compare it like this, how can Li Yunxin's possession be compared with the emperor's throne?" ”
Bai Poria nodded and said: "It's not fair, I heard a story in the past that there were two men who pursued the same woman, one was worth millions of dollars and was rich, and the other was a craftsman whose monthly salary could only support his family. The rich man casually took out 1,000 taels of silver as a dowry to marry this woman, and the craftsman was bankrupt and only 10 taels of silver, and he was willing to use all the money he had as a fake dowry in order to marry the woman he loved. ”
Yang Heng's face changed slightly: "You want to tell me that you would rather be the one who is wholeheartedly and unreserved?" ”
Bai Poria blinked, "I'm not sure, but I know that I prefer the free Beiguan City to this place." ”
Yang Heng looked at her for a while, and said, "You can think about it slowly, maybe you will change your mind." ”
"The candidate for your princess should have been decided a year ago." Bai Poria said innocently.
"My father has not officially announced the candidate, and the concubine I selected is the daughter of Lord Mo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Mo has a very deep relationship with the eldest prince...... Yang Heng said sullenly.
All right! This cunning guy, this is clearly deliberate, now that Master Mo has gone to prison, even if he holds his head, he is still a criminal official, how can a dignified son marry the daughter of a criminal official as a concubine?
No wonder he didn't care about the election of the princess, he had already taken countermeasures, but how did he know that the eldest prince would rebel in the near future? The emperor obviously knew what he knew, but he let him do it, and he didn't know what kind of calculation he had.
Bai Poria didn't want to continue to guess the thoughts of these people in high positions, so she simply returned to the topic: "What are you going to do about the twelve princesses?" ”
"Drag, Twelve's current situation can't afford to wait, as long as you help Li Yunxin get some evil disease and spread it, the object of the twelve-finger marriage will inevitably be replaced, and when the candidate is determined, the clear decree has been declared, Li Yunxin can recover slowly, about two or three months is enough. During this period, you can slowly collect evidence to overturn the case for Lord Xu, although the process is difficult and may take a year or two, but as long as it is successful, Li Yunxin can be with Miss Xu openly. Yang Heng's thinking was much clearer than the two outside, and he grasped the key point at once.
Bai Poria was relieved when she heard it, didn't she just want to pretend to be sick, you Fang Hai couldn't pretend to be sick, it was best to get a disfiguring poison similar to a ghost face Gu, to ensure that the twelve princesses would be scared half to death when they saw it, and they would definitely not marry Li Yunxin.
"You have a good relationship with the five horses, how did you deceive him?" Bai Poria pretended to be relaxed, Yang Heng was a little depressed after she refused, she felt ashamed, and it was rare for her to turn around and leave without finishing her business.
Yang Heng faintly understood her intentions, and said with a smile: "What kind of deception, I solved the evil wife in the family for him, and he naturally made friends with me sincerely." ”
"Fifth princess? Eh, the fifth princess's accident is your ......" Bai Poria was taken aback, she had just entered Beijing and heard the news that the fifth princess had fallen from a horse and was seriously injured, but she didn't expect it to be Yang Heng's black hand, this guy is really ruthless, the fifth princess said that it was his half-sister! Although she really has nothing to sympathize with for the evil things she has done.
Yang Heng put his fingers in front of his lips, winked at her and said, "Don't say, don't say!" ”
No wonder the five horses trust him so much, it turns out that Yang Heng has done such a big thing for him! This trick can be called killing two birds with one stone, attracting five horses, and adding a blood debt between Mao Guifei and the queen, Mao Guifei still thinks that her daughter was killed by the queen in the palace that day.
"It is said that one night husband and wife are one hundred days, what is the deep hatred between the five horses and the five princesses, and they want to make it like this?" Bai Poria really couldn't see that the five horses were also ruthless.
Yang Heng said: "It's similar to Li Yunxin's matter, the five horses originally had a lifelong beloved woman, but because she was too low to be a maid in the five horses' mansions, so she has never had a name, and the five horses have already found a high-ranking official of Zhishi, planning to recognize this woman as a daughter, so as to make a marriage alliance." As a result, because the fifth princess forcibly married, this woman had to continue to be nameless and shareless. The worst thing is that soon after the fifth princess got married, she found that this woman actually had the flesh and blood of five horses, and she did not say a word and let the woman be taken captive outside the city in private, tied to the horse, and dragged to death. ”
Bai Poria was terrified when she heard this, this fifth princess can be called inhuman, such things have been done, no wonder the five concubines are so ruthless to her. It is said that the twelve princesses beat the eunuchs and palace maids to death more than once in the palace, these royal princesses are really few good people, and it is normal for Li Yunxin to rather be a widower than marry a princess.
"It's because the five horses are in the same disease as Li Yunxin, that's why they help him so much?" White Poria understood.
"Yes, the two families already have some friendship, and because of this incident, the two are very close."
"You helped Li Yunxin because of the five horses?"
Yang Heng nodded, there was nothing to deny.
"Cunning! Snobbery! Bai Poria criticized mercilessly.
"You're welcome." Yang Heng smiled easily, and the unpleasantness just now seemed to have passed through the water without a trace.
After sending off the three guests, Bai Poria returned to the room, and Bai Guo came over with a deep face and said, "Miss, your question is so deep, seriously, will you ask for ten taels of silver or one thousand taels of silver?" Ten taels of silver, though wholeheartedly, but, one thousand taels of silver...... A hundredfold, a hundredfold......"
This guy was eavesdropping on the outside! Bai Poria said angrily: "You think for yourself, don't bother me." ”
After a while, Bai Guo looked up with a painful face and said, "Forget it, I want ten taels of silver, it's a big deal that I will earn that one thousand taels by myself!" It's not like I can't earn it anyway! I still want to like me with all my heart. ”
"I can't see it, you still have the consciousness of supporting your family and supporting your father." Bai Poria said disapprerovingly.
"That'...... Then I want a thousand taels of silver? "Ginkgo faltered again.
"The price of your redemption is more than 1,000 taels, isn't it, is it worth selling yourself for such a small amount of money?" Merciless contempt plus disdain.
Bai Guo said stupidly: "Isn't this a metaphor...... Otherwise, Miss, which one is better? ”
Bai Poria raised her head and said: "Both are not good, one has money but no sincerity, and the other has only sincerity and no money." Think about it, although the one in front is rich, but what he will give you is very limited, maybe there are more for his concubines and relatives and friends than for you, how depressed you are, the latter one either you have to suffer with him, or you simply raise him together, and he is also depressed! ”
"If you say it, you don't say it......"
"Fool, why wait for someone else to come up with conditions? You can say to the one in front of me, give me all your net worth, and my wife will marry you! You can also say to the latter one, you go and find a way to earn a thousand taels, and the old lady will marry you! ”
Bai Guo was dumbfounded when he heard this, and finally concluded: "No wonder you can't get married, Miss......"
