Prince Liang was wearing a heavy cloak and sitting in front of a strong fire. The red fire made Prince Liang's pale face turn red. His pair of phoenix eyes were gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Du Zhiwei, the counselor of King Liang, planned everything for King Liang before he died...
Let him first use the banner of doing things for King Xin to encourage King Xin to go to the front line to compete with Zhen Guo Gong for military merit. The current emperor has long been dissatisfied with Zhen Guo Gong, who has made great achievements in war, and as expected, he immediately allowed his most beloved son to go to the front line to supervise the army.
, and also gave King Xin the golden medal and the arrow.
Later, he secretly asked Liu Huanzhang to exchange information with the King of Nanyan, in order to take advantage of this time when all the men of the Bai family were taken by the Duke of Zhen, and take over the Bai family.
At that time, all the generals of the Bai family who are the most capable of conquering and fighting in the Jin Kingdom will be wiped out! Then the Zhenguo government will be labeled as collaborators, thus uprooting the Bai family!
If war breaks out in southern Xinjiang, his father will have no generals to use, so he can only use Liu Huanzhang, so that his people can control the military power. This is one of the reasons.
The reason why he was so courteous to Bai Qingyan was because Du Zhiwei said that King Liang was not good at marching and fighting, so he asked King Liang to keep Bai Qingyan, the "general star" that even the Duke of Zhen had praised, by his side.
In the future, he will seek military exploits and pave the way for him to ascend the Great Cauldron. This is the second one.
After King Qi and King Xin, who are competing for the throne of the crown prince, are both dead or alive, he, a prince with great military exploits, will be able to reap the benefits when he returns.
Originally everything was moving forward steadily according to Du Zhiwei's plan, but for some reason after the second girl of the Bai family, Bai Jinxiu, got married and Du Zhiwei died, things did not go as smoothly as they did when Du Zhiwei was around.
Bai Qingyan's maternal grandfather's family in Dengzhou planned to let his direct descendant marry Bai Qingyan. He sent a jade pendant to Xu Zhengfei, but Bai Qingyan refused to accept it. He also went to see Bai Qingyan in person but did not show up. What should he do?
Prince Liang subconsciously wanted to ask Du Zhiwei how to deal with it. He was about to ask someone to call Du Zhiwei over, but when he opened his mouth, he remembered that Du Zhiwei had died to protect him when he was attacked on the long street...
He coughed violently several times. After hearing the news, Tong Ji, who was boiling medicine, immediately ran in and poured him a glass of water: "Your Highness, please drink some water!"
"Ahem, cough...you go out!" King Liang gathered his cloak.
His biological mother was of low status and died young. He had been fostered by Concubine Tong since he was a child. Concubine Tong and his deceased second emperor brother treated him like a close relative, but they were killed by Duke Zhen, the so-called backbone of the country and the imperial court, and ended up in such a miserable state.
fate.
Therefore, he must fight for that position! Only by sitting in that position can he avenge Concubine Tong and the Second Emperor's brother, no matter what despicable means are used.
After staring at the brazier and pondering for a long time, King Liang suddenly called out in a hoarse voice: "Gao Sheng!"
After hearing the news, Gao Sheng came in, cupped his fists and saluted: "Master!"
"Go and call Hongqiao over... I have something to tell her."
Soon Hongqiao came in the snow. After hearing King Liang's order, she was shocked at first, then knelt down and kowtowed, and said as if she was determined to die in retribution: "I have been favored by the second prince. The second prince is no longer here."
He should have been martyred, but it was His Highness who allowed this slave to see the hope of revenge, so he survived! I know what Your Highness meant, let alone sacrifice my honor... I would not hesitate to sacrifice my life. I will definitely give it to you.
Do your best!”
After the King of Liang coughed twice, he shook his head: "You have to live. As you said, you have to see that the great revenge is avenged for the emperor. When the great revenge is avenged, you can go down and give an account to the emperor! Yes!
Don’t act rashly when making plans.”
With red eyes, he kowtowed heavily to the King of Liang.
"Go!" King Liang gathered his cloak, lowered his gloomy eyes, and looked at the flickering charcoal fire in the charcoal basin.

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, every household has begun to prepare new year's goods and kill pigs to cut new year's meat.
The purchasing department of the noble family is also busy. Although the men in the town of Guogong Mansion are unable to come back from southern Xinjiang this year, it is more lively than before. The butchers and vegetable farmers just send good things to the Duke of Guo Mansion! Because before, the country
The Crown Prince's wife gave an order, and they sent the things in front of them, and the Duke's mansion sent people to deliver the money in the back.
The people who could not express their gratitude to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion secretly piled their things at the back corner door in the middle of the night and sneaked away again!
The government's purchasers, Liu Guanshi and Liu Guanshi, hurriedly reported it to Hao Guanjia.
This time, Housekeeper Hao accepted all the orders and said that he would wait until the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month to send people to the merchants, butchers, and vegetable farmers who usually had dealings with the Duke's Mansion to give pairs and prepare some heavier gifts.
Furthermore, ask Manager Liu to prepare some fine silver and wrap it in red paper. If he sees any children at home, he should give them to him for the New Year in advance.
Housekeeper Hao has been in the Bai family for generations, and he knows that the masters of the Bai family are kind. Often if you treat me well, I will treat you very well. His arrangement is not excessive.
Mrs. Dong, who lives in Qing Dong's Mansion in Honglu Temple, is going back to Dengzhou after the Chinese New Year. She originally wanted to pick up Bai Qingyan and stay there for a few days to celebrate the New Year, but none of the Bai family men are here. Dong
It was not easy for the old lady to compete with the Duke's Mansion for people to go to the Dong Mansion to celebrate the New Year and leave the Bai Mansion deserted, so she could only invite Bai Qingyan to the Dong Mansion the next day.
Mrs. Dong felt that it was not appropriate for her mother, Mrs. Dong, to call Bai Qingyan alone, so she asked Bai Qingyan to bring several younger sisters with her.
On this day, except for the second girl Bai Jinxiu who was recovering from injuries and the seventh girl Bai Jinse by chance, all the Bai sisters gathered at the Dong family.
Although Bai Qingyan's cousins in the Dong family are not as heroic as the Bai family's daughters, they are not those tricky people, but they get along well with several girls from the Bai family.
Before leaving, the two younger girls, the fifth girl and the sixth girl, had their arms full of trinkets given by their elders and cousins. They couldn't put them down, and the girls who were close to them wouldn't let them touch them. They couldn't help playing with them as soon as they got on the carriage.
"Why is my cousin from the Dong family so skillful? She made these birds as if they were alive!" Bai Jinzhi held up a pair of paper birds and exclaimed, "It's great to be young! I want these paper birds too, but I'm older.
Excuse me……"
When Bai Jinzhao heard this, he immediately snatched the paper bird from Bai Jinzhi's hand and held it in his arms: "The fourth sister is an adult now, so she doesn't want to fight with the younger sister. The second sister is recovering from her injuries... The seventh sister is infected with the cold, and they can't fight with her today."
My cousins were playing, and I brought these back to my second and seventh sisters!"
Bai Jintong and Bai Qingyan were so amused that they laughed.
Suddenly there was the sound of reining in the horse from the front of the carriage, and the carriage of the Duke's Mansion also slowly stopped.
"Big girl!"
Hearing the sound, Bai Qingyan opened the carriage curtain and looked outside, only to hear a servant from the Duke's Mansion say: "Miss, a girl came to the door of our Duke's Mansion. She said she was a maid from Prince Liang's Mansion and was kneeling at the door to beg for permission.
Eldest girl, Butler Hao sent me to talk to the eldest lady."
