Governor's Palace, Pine Garden.

The "Pine Garden" is the outermost courtyard in the inner courtyard of Kashiwafu.

It is only separated by a wall from the outer courtyard "Bai Yuan", which is entertaining the head of the Zhaoge Quanchen family who came to the banquet today.

Because of this, the governor of Baida, who was tired of entertaining guests in Baiyuan, came to Songyuan to rest for a while.

Accompanying the head of the Bai family and the governor of Tianchen, Bai Mengxian, was the eldest grandson of the Bai family, the eldest princess of the Son of Heaven, the eldest princess of Taiping.

Bai Rusong first respectfully handed his grandfather a cup of qi-replenishing ginseng tea, and then said with a smile:

"Today, almost all the adults in Zhaoge City have come to our Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

It can be seen from this that your prestige is growing day by day, grandfather. ”

Across from him was a neat old man with silver hair in a comb bun.

The old man raised his hand to take the teacup, took a sip lightly, and then said lightly:

"It's just that they are just people who tend to be inflammatory, and the characters who can really stomp their feet can cause the mountains to shake the mountains in a loud song, but none of them have come today."

Bai Rusong frowned.

"Grandfather is saying. Shentai Palace and the Xie family? ”

Bai Meng put down the teacup and smiled, he said, "Song'er, what are you thinking?"

Shentai Palace has never been out of the world, and it will never come, and this governor has long expected it in his heart.

As for the Xunyang Xie family, if the Xie family really came to our Bai's birthday banquet, the governor would be frightened, and he would not even have a good life at the birthday banquet.

What I'm talking about just now are those Qingliushi clans who really have a deep background. ”

Bai Rusong asked puzzledly: "However, there are also many civil officials and scholars who are attending the banquet today.

For example, the champion Lang of the previous year and the current editor of the Hanlin Academy also came to congratulate his grandfather with an inscription in person. ”

Bai Mengxian had a trace of disdain on his face, and his words were a little unpolite.

Of course, with his current status, it is understandable to say this.

"A poor student from Chad's powerful family, eager to pounce on him, what kind of Qingliu bachelor can he be regarded as?

Although the people who went to the banquet today cannot be said to be absolute, the vast majority of them are flies and dogs, and they are mercenary.

Now that your grandfather and I are in power, they naturally greet each other and hate to kneel on the ground.

But if one day our Bai clan is weak, I am afraid that most of the people who are attending the banquet today are eager to fall into the well as soon as possible, step on our Bai clan's foot, and replace them with their own.

Their current stammering and smiling is worthless, and the Sacred Heart is the most important thing. ”

Who knew that when Bai Rusong heard this, he subconsciously frowned, as if there was some difficulty, and he wanted to say something and stopped:

"But grandfather. Now His Majesty's holy will, the grandson is becoming more and more difficult to guess. ”

Although he is the nominal "brother-in-law" of the Son of Heaven, in fact, he almost never dares to put on the score of "brother-in-law".

One is because his wife, Princess Taiping, is just the sister of the Son of Heaven;

the second is naturally because the relationship between the Son of Heaven and all the concubines and siblings is not very close;

As for the third, it is that their Bai clan is indeed with His Majesty's mother clan, the Xunyang Xie clan, and there is still some inexplicable embarrassment.

What's more, the power of heaven is unpredictable, even if His Majesty is affectionate and his blood is thicker than water, what can he do?

Not so much in the end.

No good death.

Speaking of this, the Metropolitan Governor Bai Mengxian was also silent.

After a long while, the Grand Governor of the Tianchen Dynasty sighed, shook his head slightly, and said:

"Before, the Governor never thought that His Majesty would be such an emperor with such ideas and authority, but the Governor looked away at first."

Bai Rusong was a little worried.

"Grandfather, how is this good? Two days ago, the Zuo waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who didn't deal well with his grandson, was frequently rewarded by His Majesty, isn't Your Majesty blatantly not giving us the Bai family face? ”

Bai Dadu Governor was cunning and cunning, and he could see it clearly, he just smiled faintly when he heard this, and comforted the eldest grandson:

"Silly boy, Your Majesty crawled out of the belly of the Xie family, and we are not fellow travelers from the Bai family.

Do you really expect Your Majesty to favor you as his uncle? ”

His face was calm and peaceful, like the most ordinary, compassionate old man, but there was a gleam in his eyes.

"Originally, I thought that with the matter of the eldest princess Tianchen, His Majesty would lose his greatest reliance.

And if the Xie family knows about this matter one day, sooner or later they will inevitably be separated from His Majesty.

At this point, Your Majesty can only rely on and trust our Bai clan. Who knows

Sure enough, the younger brother of the 'Chitose Sword Immortal' is naturally not an ordinary ordinary ordinary person.

The wrist is so open to the sky that he can make up for the sky that has almost collapsed, even the governor is very surprised.

It seems that except for the Xunyang County King, who was slightly aware of the incident, no one else found the slightest clue, our little majesty, but it is really amazing. ”

Emperor Jing is definitely worthy of the sentence "few have great ambitions, deep thoughts, and ruthless means".

Bai Rusong frowned, he was not as optimistic as his grandfather Bai Mengxian.

But grandfather, Your Majesty has frequently rejected your excerpts in the court for more than a year. Is it also because of the matter of the eldest princess that we already have a grudge against us? ”

Bai Mengxian gently turned his fingers around the Buddha beads on his wrist, and said with a chuckle:

"If I say no, will you believe it? In the end, she is the sister of a mother's compatriot, and she has protected him for so many years.

Suddenly, he said that he was gone, and he suffered so many bits and pieces of sin before leaving. Tut. Wretched. ”

Bai Rusong's whole body shook when he heard this.

His grandfather was right.

If the eldest princess Tianchen hadn't suffered anything, she would have "walked" so decently, and His Majesty might not be so difficult to accept.

But at that time, the eldest princess walked so undignified, and the tragedy of that night was clearly visible.

It is estimated that even the people involved in the process, such as the Bai clan, were secretly hated by His Majesty because of this.

What's more, there was such a big oolong in this matter, and His Majesty's original intention back then was only to trap and imprison him, not to kill him.

In the end, it ended with such a tragic and bloody ending, which caught all of them off guard.

Bai Rusong's face was pale, but at the same time, he felt a little aggrieved and aggrieved.

"But we were clearly acting on orders, and it was not the fault of those of us who did the work that things got out of control. Your Majesty, this is clearly . Angry. ”

Bai Meng saw it clearly, and he laughed and said, "Song'er, don't you want to reason with the Son of Heaven?"

Grandfather told you the truth, if His Highness Chitose was still alive, then His Majesty would always be uncomfortable in his throat;

But if Chitose is really dead, I am afraid that His Majesty will also be heartbroken and restless.

It is precisely because the eldest princess is gone, His Majesty has forgotten all the dissatisfaction and resentment against this sister before.

Now, he was afraid that he felt guilty and self-blame, and he had already overwhelmed all the complaints he had complained about her before.

Now every wisp he can recall is the maintenance and kindness that His Royal Highness Chitose once gave him - he felt uncomfortable, so he naturally had to find an 'exit' to inherit and transfer this part of the 'pain' in his heart.

And those who acted on orders back then were the best 'outlets' to withstand His Majesty's thunderous wrath.

You should be glad that you are from the Bai family, and Your Majesty can't touch us now, otherwise."

Bai Meng shook his head and smiled.

It's ridiculous to say, now that people are gone, what's the point of acting like this?

- belated remorse is cheaper than an ant. ”
