The battle in southern Xinjiang cost the Jin State hundreds of thousands of troops. The Jin State did not have the strength to fight Xiliang for at least five years, and had to cede territory to sue for peace.
The emperor was so angry that his crown and hands were shaking. Just now he was angry at the Bai family's persecution, but now what he hated most was his legitimate son, King Xin!
The arrogant and incompetent man forced the coach to go on an expedition. He regretted why he gave King Xin the gold medal to order arrows in the first place. His own kind...don't you know what he is?!
Yes, at that time, King Xin was sent to Duke Zhen with the intention of letting King Xin suppress Duke Zhen. But he just wanted to convict Duke Zhen! He just wanted to destroy the so-called generals who were not defeated.
The limelight of myth.
But he was the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and he never thought that the Jin Dynasty would be defeated so miserably!
The death of the Bai family was not a pity, but the hundreds of thousands of dead troops were all his soldiers, how could he not feel heartbroken?!
And that Liu Huanzhang!
How dare you commit treason!
How dare you lead the Jin army to fight against each other!
Rebel! Kill the Nine Tribes! Must kill the Nine Tribes!
The emperor's hand holding the bamboo slip was shaking. He was even more furious when he thought of the daughter of the Bai family kneeling in front of Wude Gate and the people of Dadu City in mourning clothes, trying to force him to kill his legitimate son!
He is just a legitimate son!
The emperor had a headache, and he was so angry that he wanted to immediately order the destruction of the entire Bai family.
At this time, the queen was wandering around outside the main hall, not knowing what to do. Now the Bai family and the people were kneeling outside the palace gate, saying that they wanted justice and wanted the emperor to kill Xin Wang and calm the people's hearts.
The empress and the emperor have been married for many years, and she is very familiar with the emperor's temperament of seeking fame and reputation. If she really kills King Xin to protect his reputation...
The queen didn't even dare to think that the emperor had many sons, but she only had one son!
In the palace, the emperor looked at the stern-faced eldest princess and closed his eyes: "Aunt, we are members of our own family, so we naturally speak our own language behind closed doors! What do you want from my aunt who made the matter so big?"
The emperor looked at the eldest princess with a pair of murderous gloomy eyes: "Are you really... going to force me to kill King Xin?!"
"Since we speak our own language behind closed doors, I will say a few heartfelt words to the emperor!" The eldest princess held the tiger-head crutch in her hand tightly, with a calm expression, "I married the prince who was the prince of the country at the time.
In front of Bai Weiting, my father once said to me... He said that the Bai family of the Zhengguo Palace is the backbone of the country and the backbone of the Jin Dynasty. The royal family needs to rely on the Bai family and must also beware of the Bai family! My father is old and his days are numbered. He hopes for me.
I will protect the Lin family's royal power for him and prevent the Bai family from turning against me! That day... I swore an oath with the blood of my royal family."
As if she was afraid that these words were not weighty enough, the eldest princess held the tiger-head crutch tightly and said quietly: "Back then, my father gave me a royal secret guard, and I have been raising it on Zhuangzi all these years. Even if the Duke of the country and I...
This son has never been used on the battlefield. Does your Majesty know...what am I defending against?"
The emperor looked at the eldest princess with serious eyes. He never expected that the eldest princess would have such an inside story when she got married.
Even the parents and children were not used on the battlefield, that is... to prevent the Bai family from turning against them.
"I want to keep the royal authority inviolable for our Lin family, so today... I advise your Majesty that King Xin should be killed!" The eldest princess tightly clutched the agarwood beads in her sleeves and sighed, "Don't talk about the Bai family.
Private vendetta, just speak of the people of the world! The march records were sent to the Bai family mourning hall in full view of everyone. Everyone knows what King Xin did! The people of the Bai family gnashed their teeth in hatred! Your Majesty should know... Water can also carry a boat.
The boat is overturned, and the people's support can only last long for the imperial power! If your Majesty kills King Xin, this time... the people outside the Wude Gate will be the people's hearts won by your Majesty! If you can't bear to kill King Xin, you can't even bear to punish... Your Majesty
What has been lost is not just the hearts and minds of the people outside Wudemen."
The eldest princess said this as if she was dedicated to the royal family, but she also had selfish motives. She really wanted the emperor to kill King Xin to avenge her husband...and her son and grandson!
Her youngest grandson is so lively and cute, he is only ten years old!
If King Xin hadn't been greedy for power and forced Bai Weiting to fight, how could all the men in the Bai family be destroyed?!
King Xin...damn it!
But she couldn't act like a woman and beg the emperor to kill King Xin out of blood.
The eldest princess has known since she was a child that women are different from men. When confronting a man, first of all, she cannot regard herself as a woman. Men's structure is the world, and most women's hearts are too soft... What they picture is flesh and blood, which is the backyard.
One-third of an acre is what she once taught her eldest granddaughter Bai Qingyan.
The words of the eldest princess made the emperor's heart beat fast. He tightly grasped the bamboo slip in his hand and knocked it on the desk, then threw it aside. He leaned on the soft pillow embroidered with golden dragons and flying in the sky, closed his eyes and pondered over it.
.
The struggle between the support of the people and the reluctance to part with their family caused the emperor to become turbulent even though he had not spoken much.
He closed his eyes and asked: "When my aunt said these things to me, did she really have no intention of killing King Xin to avenge her descendants?"
After all, he has been in the supreme position for a long time, and the overwhelming power of the emperor is very intimidating.
The eldest princess calmed down and spoke slowly: "It is true that I am the princess of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, but first of all I am the eldest princess of the royal family!"
The emperor opened his eyes and looked at the eldest princess with his gloomy eyes, full of inquiry.
The eldest princess looked directly into the emperor's eyes and said in a calm voice: "For the present plan... Liu Huanzhang's nine clans must not be able to stay! While the people of Wude Sect are all here, Your Majesty must at least make a show of it and let the Imperial Guards personally surround the Liu Mansion.
, let’s confiscate the family! King Xin punished him severely because he was his legitimate son. Even if he didn’t kill him, he would never be able to achieve this supreme position in this life! As for the Bai family... there were only a few orphans and widowed mothers left, and they couldn’t make any waves.
Come."
The late emperor once told the emperor when he was still alive that the eldest princess, the legitimate daughter of the royal family, was a capable and conceited person. Over the years, she had eaten fast and chanted Buddha's name, and she had cultivated a compassionate and kind-hearted Buddha nature in her eyes.
Things... the decision to kill that went deep into his bones has not changed.
"That eldest granddaughter of my aunt is very powerful!" The emperor narrowed his eyes, his murderous intent inadvertently leaked out when he mentioned Bai Qingyan, his voice was as cold as ice.
The eldest princess shook her hand that was holding the agarwood beads, and gently fiddled with the beads. Her voice became stronger and stronger: "I have already planned the next thing. The Bai family's funeral will be handled as simple as possible, so that the turmoil of this matter can be avoided as soon as possible."
Go! Then... I will come to the palace to invite myself to the Dukedom of the country, and then go to the temple to pray for the country and live forever! Please also ask Your Majesty, for the sake of the Bai family's loyalty from generation to generation, to let the Bai family's widow... return to her ancestral home.
