On the Taiji Palace, Bai Tingyue was discussing state affairs with the emperor. At this time, the prince asked to see him. "What's the matter, why did you come here at this time?" the emperor was a little displeased, but still saw the crown prince. The crown prince arched his hand and said, "Father, I want to ask someone to help me." ”

"Oh, who?" said the Emperor, a little boredly, when he heard the prince say this.

"Tai Shizhi" the prince said cautiously, looking at the emperor's face.

Hearing the name Tai Shizhi, the emperor's face changed slightly, and so did Bai Tingyue, the emperor asked, "Where did you hear this name?"

"Listening to one of Erchen's subordinates, this person's humanistic ability is beyond ordinary people, if you can invite him out of the mountain, it will benefit Erchen a lot. The crown prince said, and then asked, "Has my father heard of this person too?"

"This person is not ordinary, although you will not have any results if you go, but even if you are refused, don't be rude. By the way, Bai Aiqing, do you want to take this opportunity to see him?" said to Bai Tingyue after the emperor finished telling the crown prince.

Bai Tingyue thought for a while and said: "When Mr. asked me to go out of the mountain, I asked me to put state affairs first, and at this moment, the empire is worried about internal and external troubles, and I don't have the face to see Mr. ”

The emperor smiled and said: "Bai Aiqing is too modest, who in the empire does not know your contribution to the empire, the pillar of the empire, deserved." ”

The crown prince also said: "General Bai is also the first of the four famous generals on the mainland, with outstanding military achievements, and he has put down rebellions for the empire and ensured peace for decades, and his great achievements are not too much. ”

Bai Tingyue sighed slightly in the face of the appreciation of the two, and said, "It's not enough, sir, he's very strict." ”

Then he said to the prince: "If Your Highness is out of the city, remember to be careful, I will give you a letter of recommendation, so that it will be more convenient to see the gentleman." ”

"Thank you, General Bai. ”

Bai Tingyue returned home, and his daughter Bai Lin came out, saw Bai Tingyue's solemn expression, and asked, "Father, why is your face a little ugly, what's wrong?"

"Your master is about to go out of the mountain, it seems that the people of this world have finally got someone in sight. ”

"Well, why did my father say that?"

"Today, the prince suddenly said that he had heard of the name of his master and wanted to invite him out of the mountain. Hehe, he is also worthy. It's just the momentum that Mr. made for himself before he went out of the mountain. Bai Tingyue said, then looked at his daughter Bai Lin, and said, "If you still can't let go, the prince wants to invite Mr. out of the mountain, you can go with him." ”

"He's worthy of going to Mr. I'm afraid I won't even be able to go up the mountain." Bai Lin smiled disdainfully and said.

"Although the prince is benevolent and weak, he is a man who accepts the advice of others. Among the princes, it can be regarded as a wise monarch. Bai Tingyue said, "The main thing is to follow the master's side, look around, and have a long experience." ”

"Compared to Austin?" Bai Lin asked suddenly, after all, this name had often appeared in his father's mouth in recent times.

Bai Tingyue was stunned for a moment and said: "Austin is not a person we can measure, perhaps, he is the person Mr. is waiting for." ”

Bai Lin asked suspiciously, "Do you need me to say something bad about Austen?"

"Sir's business, where is we can control. Bai Tingyue said.

The two of them were silent.

The crown prince left, although it was a secret, but the powerful third prince still successfully found out the whereabouts of the prince.

"The eldest brother actually only brought a few people, a great opportunity, this time must not fail, you know?" The four princes said to a few people, a few people nodded, and when they were about to leave, suddenly the subordinate officials ran in and said a few words in the ears of the four princes, and the four princes nodded and said to the people: "Go quickly." ”

"Yes"

After Bai Tingyue walked in slowly, he said, "Your Highness, Weichen came today with His Majesty's message. ”

The fourth prince stood up and said respectfully, "What instructions does my father have?"

After Bai Tingyue coughed dryly, he said: "The prince is out of Beijing, and the fourth prince will be responsible for the safety of the prince, and if there is any accident during this period, the prince will be held accountable." ”

"Yes," the four princes accepted this order without any discoloration.

"Did the general suggest that my father do this?"

Bai Tingyue shook his head and said, "This is done by His Majesty to protect you, if you surprise the person His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to find, even Your Majesty will not be able to protect you." ”

After hearing Bai Tingyue's words, the fourth prince asked with some confusion: "I don't know who the imperial brother went to?"

"This point is still to be kept secret. After Bai Tingyue finished speaking, he left.

The fourth prince sighed slightly, "Someone is coming, the order has changed, protect the prince." ”

When the prince arrived at Taishizhi's residence, the birds were singing and the man was sitting on the gazebo, where there was a plate of endgames, as if waiting for something.

"Sir, Imperial Prince, please see Sir. ”

The prince said respectfully.

The gentleman raised his head, looked at him, and said, "The person you need is not me, there is a person five hundred miles away here, if you want to trust and reuse him, you will not be held back by your brother." ”

"But, sir, you ......"

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is not me who is the most suitable for you now, please leave. Tai Shizhi waved his hand slightly, and the prince and the others suddenly found that they had reached the foot of the mountain, except for Bai Lin, the daughter of the kingdom adopted by Bai Tingyue.

"What kind of attitude is this, Your Highness, let's teach ...... lesson," one of the subordinate officials said with some anger.

After glaring at him, the prince said, "Shut up! If anyone dares to be disrespectful to Mr. again, it will be disrespectful to me, remember?"

"Sir just said that there are people I need five hundred miles from here, so let's go. Bai Tingyue, whom he recommended to his father back then, was such a powerful person, and he should not be neglected. Let's go. The prince gave the order decisively. Everyone is getting moving.

Tai Shizhi looked at Alice and said, "Sit down, you come here this time, if there is something, let's talk about it." ”

"Sir, I would like to recommend to you a man who is the most powerful man of the day, Austin. Bai Lin told Tai Shizhi some things about Austin.

"This person is indeed not ordinary. Even I was amazed. However, in this world, there are many capable people, and his troubles will soon come. ”

Bai Lin smiled bitterly, "Is it my father?"

"Bai Tingyue is very loyal, because of this, he will try his best to weaken Austin's power, the most interesting thing is that Austin does not have the consciousness of a king, he will be like ordinary people, and he is easily affected by the atmosphere. At this point, if used correctly, Austin is a person, easy to eliminate. But, as your father did, the consequence is revenge from the Austin forces. Moreover, Austin deliberately transferred his rights, and the second generation should be Charlotte. ”

"Sir, do you already know anything about Austin?"

"Nobody, I don't know. Tai Shizhi said, "What about you, what choice do you make in this world that will fall into chaos?"

Bai Lin shook his head and said, "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”

"In the empire, your status as a girl is a huge restriction, and in the small town, there is not much attention to gender. Tai Shizhi said, and after thinking about it again, he said, "However, because of your father, it will be difficult to have a place there.

Bai Lin nodded and said, "I understand, thank you for your advice." ”

After Bai Lin left here, Tai Shizhi brushed the chessboard with his hand and said, "The change is too big." Are you the one I'm waiting for?"
