Chapter 142: The Temptation of the Throne
"Why did my father let Jin Jiangwei go to control the Praetorian Guards when Academician Lin came? Why didn't he control the Praetorian Guards long before Academician Lin came, and show him the appearance of a dynasty?" Bai Luoti looked at Bai Luo in confusion and asked, in his opinion, showing Tianyu a quiet Xuanwu Gate is more able to show the majesty of their dynasty than looking at a Xuanwu Gate that is messed up into a pot of porridge.
"I have my own plan for this, so you can arrange it. Bai Luo did not reply, but said so.
"Yes. Bai Luo saw that Bai Luo didn't mean to say it, and said respectfully, and at this time, Gonggong Li, who was arranged by Bai Luo, slowly walked in and respectfully bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Han brought it." "Apparently he just came back from the Han family.
"Tim, go down! Bai Luo motioned for Bai Luo to mention, and then Bai Luo Ti and Li Gonggong walked down, and after a while, Han Qing and Han Liang walked up.
"I've seen Your Majesty. Han Qing looked at Bai Luo with his hands, he didn't practice the courtesy of a monarch like those ministers in the court, after all, this is the monk world. Han Qing's cultivation has a certain amount, so the two sides don't have to be too restrained.
"Han Liang is also here. Bai Luo looked at Han Qing and smiled, then looked at the seventh son Han Liang next to him and said.
"See Your Majesty, Han Liang has something important to report to Your Majesty this time. Han Liang looked at Bai Luo and bent over.
"I know what you want to say, I will deal with this matter, you go down first, I want to talk to your father. Bai Luo looked at Han Liang and said.
"Yes. Han Liang was dumbfounded for a while, what happened to him didn't take long, and he didn't delay, but he didn't expect the emperor to already know, but you can imagine that the emperor of Great Xia has a wide range of ears and eyes. However, he didn't ask too much, after all, it was the order of the emperor, and he immediately walked outside.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what you want to talk to me?" Han Qing asked as Han Liang looked at Bai Luo after leaving the imperial study. Originally, he was going to find Bai Luo to tell him about some speculations about the Empress Wu, but he didn't expect Bai Luo to invite him as well, but after he came, he said that he wanted to put his heart into his heart, what is the situation?
"Come, Han Qing sit here. Bai Luo pointed to the seat next to him and said, Han Qing was not too restrained and sat down directly. After all, the two of them were brothers before, although Bai Luo broke through at this time, and the relationship between the two people was not changed because of this.
After Han Qing sat down, Bai Luo immediately flipped over a chessboard and looked at Han Qing, "Come and walk with me for a game." ”
"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Han Qing looked at Bai Luo's abnormal move and was very puzzled?
"We've known each other for so many years, so Your Majesty sounds twisted, you still call me Brother Bai!" Bai Luo didn't answer, but turned over the chess pieces on the chessboard and handed Bai Zi to Han Qing.
"Brother Bai won't come to me to play chess on a whim!" Han Qing took the chess pieces and teased Bai Luo and said. He didn't push him to be called, after all, that's what they had called him before. It's just that Han Qing thinks that Bai Luo is the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it may be inappropriate to call him Brother Bai all the time, so he changed it to His Majesty.
"Of course not, I have an important matter to discuss with you today. Bai Luo looked at Han Qing and suddenly looked solemn, he put down the chess pieces and got up.
"Brother Bai doesn't know what you have to do, so tell me and listen to it to see if I can share it for you. Han Qing looked at him with a solemn expression at this time, and felt that something big was about to happen.
"I don't know Han Qing, do you have any thoughts about the position of the emperor?" Bai Luo suddenly reincarnated and looked at Han Qing and asked, this was also a question he thought about. Of course, he also has intentions for this.
"Brother Bai ridiculed, do you also know that our Han family has never participated in the battle for the throne of the emperor for generations, what else do you think about the position of the emperor?" Han Qing smiled, although his face was full of smiles, but in fact, his heart was not shocked, Bai Luo would definitely not ask this question out of nowhere, although their Han family did not have any ideas about the position of the emperor, but Bai Luo asked this, he had to guard against it!
"Han Qing, don't get me wrong, the reason why I say this is not because I doubt it, but because I want to pass on the throne to you. Bai Luo suddenly said, of course he didn't have this idea in his heart, he said tentatively in order to eliminate the doubts in Han Qing's heart.
Now that among the four surnames, the surname Wu and the surname Qing have been ironclad against his Bai family, and it is necessary for him to understand their direction for this Han surname. Although the surname Han has always shown an attitude of disinterest in the throne of the emperor, and Han Qing has always been a brother and sister to the emperor. However, it cannot be ruled out that he is forbearing, and for monks, it is normal to endure for decades or even hundreds of years. After all, he knows people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart, so he has to guard against it.
He was originally going to ask Han Qing directly if he was interested in the position of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, but after thinking about it, if the other party really didn't mean to ask like this, it wouldn't hurt the other party. After all, is it a heart-to-heart, so he decided to ask like this, wanting to use the position of the Great Xia Emperor to fish Han Qing and find out Han Qing's position. After all, the Han family is a big help in the imperial dynasty, but it is also a big hidden danger. After all, his Yang Yuan is less than twenty years old, and now he can still suppress the Han family, if he is gone, the Han family can definitely favor the Bai family, and it is difficult to say whether the Han family will really assist the Bai family at that time. So he is going to use this Empress Wu to plot to purge some people at one time, but the Han family has always had no merit in the dynasty, so he must be cautious in dealing with the Han family, and whether the Han family stays or not is also a decision after today.
"Don't be, Brother Bai, the eldest son of the emperor, Brother Bai, I think I can stand up, not to mention the talent, just cultivating has a martial saint intermediate level, and it can support the entire dynasty. Han Qing hurriedly waved his hand, he didn't understand what the Emperor of Great Xia meant, how did he decide to pass on the throne of the Emperor to him? Could it be that this is also a temptation? But Bai Luo's sentence Han Qing, don't get me wrong, dispelled his idea that Bai Luo was a temptation, after all, if it was a temptation, he definitely didn't need to add this sentence. Could it be that he really wanted to pass on the throne to me? But why is this? The whole Han Qing couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.
"Ti'er is still young, and his cultivation is not enough, and he can't control the overall situation. As you know, my breakthrough this time is not a breakthrough in cultivation, and Yang Yuan is long-lived, and my remaining Yang is less than twenty years, and I can't create a prosperous dynasty anymore, so I have to think about it. The Great Xia Emperor turned his back and didn't pay attention to it, but continued, after all, this is acting, so you have to act realistically.
"You also know that our four surnames, the emperor never goes to pass them on personally, most of them are strong and can be obtained. And once I fall, the Bai family's power will inevitably plummet, and the martial family and the Qing family have coveted the throne of the dynasty for a long time, and they will inevitably watch from the wall. ”
"For this reason, in order to let me still have a stable dynasty after the fall, only you, only if you are elected as the emperor, your Han family can suppress the Wu and Qing families, so I decided to pass on the throne to you, first, to return a stable dynasty, and secondly, not to let the people of the dynasty kill each other. Bai Luo put Bai Luo and said, "Of course, I also have a request, that is, after you become the emperor, you should treat my Bai family well." Bai Luo deliberately added this sentence, in order to make the scene more sufficient, so that Han Qing thought that he was telling the truth, not testing him.
"Brother Bai is blessed with Wandai, twenty years is still a long way off. Your Bai family is orthodox, how dare our Han family replace it. Besides, even if Brother Bai falls, doesn't the Bai family still have our Han family? With the assistance of our Han family, I think who would dare to make trouble in the Wu family and the Qing family. Han Qing was stunned, this time he was also stunned, or he was deceived by Bai Luo's acting skills. He really thought that Bai Luo decided to give him the position of the emperor for the sake of the righteousness of the dynasty, so he was very moved, but a Han family who had never been interested in the position of the emperor would naturally swear allegiance to their Bai family.
Bai Luo looked at Han Qing, at this time his heart was also full of thoughts, Han Qing's expression in his eyes was not fake, in his opinion, it was true feelings, could it be that he was really not interested in the position of the emperor?
"Han Qing, today I will be with you, I don't hide it, my family's loser has now colluded with Qing Yichen to try to rebel, although I can easily calm down this time, but if once I fall, who else in our Bai family can calm down such a judgment? Therefore, the position of the emperor should be passed on to your Han family, so that the dynasty can be managed well. Bai Luo still didn't believe it, and said tentatively again.
"Empress Wu is trying to rebel?" Han Qing was stunned, he was just guessing, but he didn't expect it to be verified here in Bailuo, no wonder what Bailuo was going to pass on to him might be a kind of rainy day!
"Exactly, it is because of this matter that I came up with the idea of passing on the throne of the emperor to you, so I like you to be able to accept my inheritance, and my request is actually nothing, I just hope that you can take care of our Bai family. Bai Luo nodded.
"Brother Bai, I can't hide it from me that this time I was also going to come to you because of the affairs of the Empress Wu, and I also found that the Empress Wu was wrong, but I didn't expect him to be preparing to rebel. Han Qing arched his hand and said, "To defend the dynasty, my Han family has the responsibility to defend the land, and we will definitely not tolerate the rebellion, please rest assured." Han Qing arched his hand and said, although he did not show his attitude this time, it could be seen from his tone that he did not care about the position of the emperor, but only cared about guarding the dynasty.
"Han Qing, to be honest, I really want you to be the emperor...... Bai Luo still didn't relax and continued to ask.
"Brother Bai, the reason why I call you brother is because of righteousness. And the reason why I call you Your Majesty is because of your loyalty. For the sake of Great Xia, our Han family can be said to be loyal and righteous, and Brother Bai, if you want to push the throne of the emperor into the hands of your brother today, you are trapping your brother in disloyalty and injustice. Therefore, I will definitely not accept this position of emperor, brother. Han Qing replied with a handful of words, for the sake of loyalty, he would never do this.
"Han Qing, you ......" Bai Luo was stunned for a long time and was silent for a long time.
