"Prime Minister, what should we do now?" In the Prime Minister's house, there were five or six men in their forties, all of whom looked very anxious, not knowing what to do next. ┗ #_ ┛
It turned out that it was Bai Fu, the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who had just rushed back from Dongou last night. Prime Minister Lu deliberately delayed them for an extra day, and their footsteps were obviously not as fast as Qinglong's, so they came back three days later than them.
Bai Yan looked at the contents of the letter and originally thought that Lu Yan would definitely form an alliance with him to attack the Loulan Kingdom with internal and external support. However, he never expected that old guy Lu Yan would reject his alliance proposal, which made him so angry.
Regarding the relationship between He Lianzhi and Chun Yujun, there may have been a conspiracy between them. It seems that he had calculated everything wrong, but even Lu Yan made a mistake. If he asked Tianye for help now, it would be too late.
.
Bai Yan has been claiming to be ill at home and has not gone to court for many days. Many ministers in the court who were originally on his side were accepted by Xiao Boyi and Yuwen Tuo. It seems that the king has taken advantage of him.
"My lords, please don't worry. I estimate that the king will not dare to dismiss all the lords at once. If the king really dares to do this, he is crazy!" Bai Yan was betting that Helianzhi didn't have the guts.
.
As soon as these words came out, the other adults couldn't sit still: "Prime Minister, even if the king doesn't punish us all at once, we will inevitably be dismissed from our posts. You must think of ways to save us."
Us?"
Five or six people were making a fuss in the study room, making Bai Yan's head more and more confused. It seemed that he had to go to court tomorrow.
"Everyone, please go back tonight. I will go to court tomorrow to find out how the king's tone is. We will discuss it in detail later!" Bai Yan has been forced to a dead end, and it seems that tomorrow may be unlucky.
But after thinking about it, Bing'er is still safe and sound in the harem, so the king won't do anything to her until the end.
After sending away several colleagues, Bai Yan stayed up all night in the study. He didn't believe what the king would really do to him.
Early the next morning, all civil and military officials gathered in the main hall. The generals were led by Yuwen Tuo, and now most of the civil officials were centered on Xiao Boyi, the left prime minister.
He Lianzhi slowly climbed onto the throne surrounded by everyone. Looking at the dark crowd of heads below, he discovered the figure of Zuo Xiang Bai Yan. It seems that he can't sit still, right?
"Bai Aiqing has been ill for a long time, are you feeling better now?" He Lianzhi looked at him condescendingly, wondering what this old fox wanted to do today.
Bai Yan had wrinkles on his face and a look of sleepiness on his face. He bent down and said, "Thank you for your love, Your Majesty. My health is no longer serious. I can still worry about Your Majesty for a few more years."
"That's good, very good..." He Lianzhi smiled with an incomprehensible smile, so that Bai Yan could not tell that he had any planned move.
He Lianzhi discussed with Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Boyi for most of the night last night, and decided that there was no need to show mercy to him anymore. Xiao Boyi had already thought of countermeasures and could investigate him at any time.
Bai Yan also smelled the strange smell in the hall. Seeing that there were several officials he didn't recognize suddenly appeared in the hall, it seemed that the king was on guard against him.
However, this atmosphere was maintained until the next court, and Helianzhi did not take action. This surprised Bai Yan. Could it be that the king was taking care of his daughter?
But if he thinks so, he is totally wrong...
When Bai Yan left the mansion and entered the palace this morning, Yuwen Tuo's deputy had already rushed into the Bai family and took all the members of the Bai family into custody. After such a search, they found out that Bai Yan's warehouse was still a small treasury.
Well, many tribute items were embezzled by him privately. It seems that he made a lot of money in the past few years as prime minister?
The other officials working with Bai Yan could not escape this fate. Their homes were ransacked by Yuwen Tuo's men, and all the gold and silver they found were confiscated to the state treasury.
At this time, Bai Yan had just left the formidable hall. He thought he still had a chance to survive. He happily got on the carriage, but he didn't know that this carriage was to take him through the last journey and send him to hell.
of.
"Prime Minister, we're here!" The coachman in front of the carriage suddenly stopped the carriage, and a deep voice sounded in front of the carriage.
Arrived? How is this possible? How can it be possible that it has arrived without even passing through the Shenwu Sect?
Bai Yan opened the curtain angrily, but at this glance, he saw the two big characters "Tian Lao"!
"Bastard, you actually brought me to a place like this?" He was so angry that his ears were red and his neck was thick, and his mustache almost stood up.
"Prime Minister, is this the right place? Madam is already waiting for you inside, and the king has already arranged for the Prime Minister's family to be reunited!" The carriage had already been switched, and the groom in front of him had already been replaced by Yuwen Tuo's men.
"you--"
Bai Yan suddenly understood what happened. No wonder the king didn't have an attack in the main hall. In fact, he had already done it secretly. The king must have ordered his house to be ransacked as soon as he went out in the morning!
Thinking of this, he seemed to have aged a lot again. He raised his head and looked at the two words on the top. He didn't expect that Bai Yan would be in such a predicament now.
Just as this was happening, several more carriages came from behind. The people on the carriages got off one after another and looked at Bai Yan. It turned out that they were the officials who were at the Prime Minister's Mansion last night.
It's a disaster! Bai Yan has already foreseen his fate. The king has long thought that he can't bear it. It's just because he couldn't find any evidence that he didn't take him down. It seems that the matter of asking Dong Ou for help this time has been exposed long ago.
, given the relationship between Chun Yujun and He Lianzhi, and Lu Yan is Chun Yujun's teacher, he will definitely inform Chun Yujun of this matter.
It's all my fault, I blame myself for overestimating Lu Yan. I thought that he was an ambitious person and would definitely accept his proposal and join forces to fight against Lou Lan. However, I didn't think so, but I didn't expect that I would fall into the hands of my former classmates.
ah!
"Prime Minister~~~!" Several officials looked melancholy when they saw the word "Tian Lao", as if they had already anticipated the consequences.
Bai Yan looked helpless. He didn't expect that after so many calculations, he was defeated so easily by Helianzhi. God's will - it seems that Bai Yan's good days have come to an end.
"Prime Minister, please—" the guard urged him impatiently. After imprisoning them, he had to rush back to report to General Yuwen.
Bai Yan walked up to him and glared at the guards with disdain. Now that he was in this situation, these people who relied on their power treated him like this. He didn't want to think about how anyone would dare to mess with him when he was the prime minister.
The guards were not afraid of him. Seeing that he was reluctant to leave, he waved to the brothers to invite him in.
In this way, a group of guards surrounded Bai Yan and several officials who had been dismissed from their posts. They also pulled out sharp sabers and put them on their necks: "The king has ordered that all the gentlemen have been dismissed from their posts for investigation."
, if you disobey, you can be beheaded on the spot!"
As soon as these words came out, they had no other choice but to step slowly into the damp, moldy, dark prison.
He Lianzhi and Yuwen Tuo had been waiting for the news in the Imperial Study Room. They looked at each other and smiled, both imagining what Bai Yan's expression would look like now.
"Hahaha~~~~~~~"
He Lianzhi laughed. After enduring that old fox for two years, he was finally able to get rid of him. This time, it was thanks to Cen Xue. Otherwise, he would not have had the chance to operate on Bai Bingxuan. He would have killed the old nanny next to her first.
, and then beat him severely, which aroused Bai Yan's rebellious intentions!
"Zhi, how are you going to deal with those people who form cliques for personal gain?" Yuwen Tuo looked at his relaxed expression, and it seemed that he already knew what was going on.
He Lianzhi met Yuwen Tuo's sharp eyes, walked to him, and said one word decisively: "Kill——"
Yuwen Tuo is not surprised by this decision. If these people don't die, they will definitely be the source of harm to the Loulan Kingdom in the future. But Bai Bingxuan...
"Bai Bingxuan is the concubine in your harem, do you plan to kill her too?" She had no involvement in this matter.
"Kill - who made her so vicious-hearted? What's more, she is Bai Yan's daughter, so she must die!" He Lianzhi became very angry when he mentioned this woman.
Everything she said and did in the harem was known to everyone. He knew some of the first things, but there were many things he didn't know. In short, she didn't know the names of how many people in the harem were ruined. This kind of woman must
Gotta die!
"Your Majesty - Your Majesty, everything has been settled. Bai Yan and five of his accomplices have had their homes confiscated, and the remaining minor officials have also been dismissed. All vacant official positions have been filled according to plan, and Bai Yan and his party have also been
He has been sent to the prison by General Yuwen's men!" Xiao Boyi hurried over to tell the two of them the news.
"Okay - so happy!!!" He Lianzhi shouted, finally being able to deal with that old guy Bai Yan effortlessly.
If you want to fight with him, you don't weigh your own weight. No matter how powerful he is, the prime minister is still his subject after all. As long as he gives an order, he can be made to fly up a branch or fall to pieces!
In Yilan Palace, Bai Bingxuan, who is recuperating from her injuries, has just received news that her Bai family has been accused of rebellion and the whole family is to be executed. Now Suzaku has come with his guards to arrest her.
What to do? What to do? What should she do now?
Your Majesty, she can beg the King, maybe the King will spare her?
"No -" The king's every move that day, as well as his expression, seemed to want to kill her. The king would definitely not let her go. After thinking about it, she could only ask for one person.
.
Before Suzaku arrived, Bai Bingxuan put on a palace maid's clothes and escaped quietly through the window. She was going to the Immortal Palace. Maybe the high priest could save her and her family's lives!
