"He Qing Haiyan who protects the Jin Dynasty protects the prosperity and peace of the people!" The eldest princess muttered this sentence softly, pinching her fingertips hard, "You and your grandfather... are so similar!"
Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes and looked at the long road under her feet, feeling sad in her heart.
No, she is not like her grandfather.
Her grandfather was a true gentleman, but she was not.
After her rebirth, she somehow turned into a villain who spoke of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but cared about selfish interests at heart.
When she went to southern Xinjiang, she did not entirely care about the world and the country and the people. She did feel sorry for the people in the border areas, but she mainly wanted to welcome her possibly surviving brother and manage the forces that had begun to disintegrate in the military of the Bai family.
.
Bai Qingyan, who had never joined the military, knew very well what military power meant.
My grandfather once held the military power of the Jin Dynasty, but now he bows his head and obeys orders.
Whether others said that her grandfather was pedantic or foolish and loyal, she knew that this was the most valuable gentleman's integrity in this generation.
But she is not a gentleman.
In troubled times, the strong are respected.
Whether it's despicable or sanctimonious, even if it's a villain's method... He can keep the Bai family safe, he can protect the people's peace, and he can occupy the position of emperor of the Jin Dynasty to a capable person. This villain... she has taken it.
.
After a while, the eldest princess asked with a trembling voice: "Your grandfather...really said that Your Majesty has Kunpeng's ambitions?"
She sneered and asked: "Grandma, do you think it's like... today?"
It's just that the words he spoke at the beginning were too intense, and he calmly used his grandfather's words to make up for it, deliberately making the emperor feel guilty.
If the emperor had any idea of what integrity was, he should seriously examine himself as to whether he was worthy of the four words "Kunpeng's ambition".
The eldest princess closed her eyes, so that she could feel relieved...for her granddaughter.
She is better than her master. The granddaughter she raised personally is better than her. She can assess the situation and make the best use of the situation. She is good at what is true and what is false, what is true and what is false. She is really good!
She shook her granddaughter's hand hard, with a smile on her lips and a sadness in her eyes: "A'bao has grown up and is growing better than grandma expected. In this way... grandma can go to the temple with peace of mind to clean up for you.
Grandfather... is mourning for the heroic souls of the Bai family." I just hope that it can offset some of the guilt I feel for my husband, son, and grandson.
As the eldest princess of the Jin Dynasty, she has fulfilled her responsibilities...
But as a wife, mother and grandmother, she always has some reservations.
Probably only Su Qiu and A Bao, because they are women, so the eldest princess never thought that women could do anything to threaten the Lin family, so she devoted all her love to her daughter and this granddaughter.
.
Perhaps it was fate, because Su Qiu's death made Bai Weiting determined to take her granddaughter with her to practice on the battlefield, which actually gave her most beloved granddaughter room to fight against the imperial court.
Don't avoid the affairs of the Jin Dynasty, sacrifice filial piety and do your best to be loyal.
The eldest princess was thinking in her heart the grandson's granddaughter's high-sounding words just now in the main hall. She could vaguely guess that the reason why her granddaughter wanted to go to southern Xinjiang was because the army was the foundation of the Bai family.
She was just praying secretly in her heart. What her grandson wanted was the emperor's confidence not to touch the Bai family, but not...the power to overthrow the Lin family.
Coming out of Wudemen, the servants of the Bai family were already waiting at the door with their carriage.
Bai Qingyan thanked the people who came with them and told the emperor that he promised justice to the Bai family. There were constant cheers outside Wude Gate.
"Thank you all very much. I will remember your great kindness and kindness in my heart!" She solemnly saluted the people who had been beaten for her before.
As soon as Bai Qingyan helped the eldest princess get on the carriage, she saw Qin Shangzhi, who was standing at the end of the crowd and carrying a bag... He bowed to her from afar, then turned and left.
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Bai Jintong helped Bai Qingyan and looked at her, feeling quite confused.
"It's nothing." Bai Qingyan said, bending down and getting into the carriage.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Chen Qingsheng put the stool away. Before he could talk to Bai Qingyan, he was separated by Nanny Tong.
She looked back at Chen Qingsheng, who nodded understandingly.
As soon as she entered the main entrance of the Duke's Mansion, she let go of Nanny Tong's hand and said, "Nanny, help me prepare my mourning clothes again. I'll go see Ji Tingyu..."
When Aunt Tong saw that Ji Tingyu's blood was still on Bai Qingyan's filial piety clothes, her eyes immediately turned red and she nodded: "Hey! I'll go get ready now!"
Seeing Aunt Tong walking away, Chen Qingsheng immediately trotted forward, took out an already warm roster from his chest and handed it to Bai Qingyan: "Sister, this was prepared by Marquis Zhongyong to be sent to Nan two months ago. List of people who handle Xinjiang Liangcao!”
She pursed her lips, took the list and unfolded it...
In addition to recording the names and official positions of the people who handled the grain and grass, some of them also had unfamiliar handwriting on the back to write about the person's life and personality, and the ink was very new.
"This is?"
"This was added with the help of Mr. Qin, who lives in our house. He said that it might be useful for the eldest lady." Chen Qingsheng was quite ashamed, "I don't know how Mr. Qin knew about the business of the young man who checked the grain and grass handlers. I invited Xiao Xiao to complete the list, otherwise Xiao Xiao might not have gotten the list so quickly! Xiao Xiao has already checked the people on the list carefully, and there is indeed nothing wrong with the list. Mr. Qin, the general, is missing again People called the little ones over and added some life and personality to these people."
If Qin Shangzhi can wait for an opportunity to assassinate King Liang, he must pay attention to the news of King Liang. There is collusion between King Liang and Marquis Zhongyong. Qin Shangzhi will definitely investigate carefully. With Qin Shangzhi's ability, this list will definitely not be false.
The Duke of Zhen's Mansion was kind to him for saving his life. Qin Shangzhi was a gentleman. He never left the Duke's Mansion, firstly to recuperate from his injuries, and secondly because he wanted to wait for an opportunity to repay the Duke's Mansion.
Now that he knew that she wanted the list, Qin Shangzhi helped her and returned the favor before leaving with peace of mind.
But it was Lu Ping who rescued Qin Shangzhi in the first place, and she just promised Qin Shangzhi a place to stay.
After closing the roster in her hand, she thought with gratitude and said for a moment: "Go and prepare a hundred taels of money, and a horse, and come with me out of the city."
"Yes! Little one, go and get ready!"
·
Qin Shangzhi was injured and was not walking very fast. As soon as he arrived at Zheliu Pavilion, one mile away from the city gate, he heard Chen Qingsheng calling him.
"Mr. Qin, stay! Mr. Qin, stay!"
Qin Shangzhi turned around and saw Chen Qingsheng, who was approaching at a fast pace, reining in the reins, jumped off the horse, and saluted him respectfully: "Mr. Qin, my eldest daughter will come to see you off sir in a moment!"
Qin Shangzhi tightened his grip on the bundle and looked towards the city gate.
He saw an oak carriage used by ordinary servants of the Zhenguo Palace coming towards him at high speed, and stopped slowly in front of him. Qin Shangzhi straightened his spine.
The driver was Bai Qingyan's younger brother Xiao Ruohai. He jumped out of the carriage. While he was bowing respectfully to Qin Shangzhi, Chuntao opened the carriage curtain and helped Bai Qingyan get out of the carriage.
