In the past, because Bai Gui was her benefactor, "promising her with her body" was the best way for her to repay her kindness. For ordinary women, reputation and integrity may be precious, and it is not impossible to die in order to keep the integrity.
But for a monk like her, even though her reputation is not worthless, compared with the path to immortality, she is willing to give up this little thing.
When time is long enough, the resentment against mortals is just a small wave that is difficult to appear in the vast memory.
On the Qingming Festival, on the West Lake, it would be impossible to say that she fell in love with Bai Gui at first sight. The reason why she wholeheartedly wanted to marry Bai Gui was for two reasons. One was to repay her kindness, and the other was to use this to save herself from becoming enlightened.
Transformed into love disaster.
Although love catastrophe is difficult to overcome, it is much better than other catastrophes.
She planted a feeling of love for Bai Gui in her heart.
Falling in love with Bai Gui is inevitable.
At this moment, Bai Gui used Fuxi's magical power to suppress the love in her nature. The love crisis was temporarily eliminated, the mirror shone brightly, all illusions were shattered, and she saw her true self.
"Your Highness King Qin, can you accompany me for a walk outside?"
She said softly.
After peeling away the illusion of love and calamity, Bai Suzhen now doesn't know what kind of feelings she feels for Bai Gui. If she is still infatuated with Bai Gui, it is impossible. How can she be infatuated with a mortal as a "fairy god". But if
To say that there is no emotion at all is probably a lie.
So, she planned to go out for a walk.
It is late winter at this time.
There was a light snowfall last night.
The air is cool.
This private residence is next to the market in Chang'an.
At this time, Chang'an was no longer as prosperous as it was in the Tang Dynasty, and only the ruins of the Tang Imperial City were left. There were only a few people in the market, and occasionally an old man selling animal charcoal could be seen.
Bai Gui is the king of Qin, and he is protected by personal guards when he travels.
The guards scolded pedestrians on the roadside to avoid them.
This is to prevent assassins.
Whether you love the people or not is not reflected at this moment.
The old charcoal seller couldn't escape.
The cart rolled over on its side on the street, and the charcoal in the coal basket spilled all over the ground.
Bai Suzhen frowned.
She has always been willing to do good, and has benevolent thoughts in her heart. It is precisely because of this nature that she was accepted as a disciple by Mother Lishan and devoted herself to practice.
She stepped forward to help the old charcoal seller pick up animal charcoal.
When the old charcoal seller saw the fairy-like figure approaching, he helped him pick up the fallen charcoal, bowed repeatedly, and apologized to Bai Suzhen.
At this time, Bai Gui also ordered his personal guards to help the old charcoal seller reset the cart.
A small incident that happens frequently in Chang'an.
Everyone has different thoughts.
"I would like to thank His Highness the King of Qin for not curing the crime of Jingjia."
The old charcoal seller said with lingering fear.
Bai Gui said nothing.
The guard scolded the old charcoal seller and told him to leave quickly and not to disturb Wang Jia.
The old charcoal seller then pulled the cart and hurriedly hid in the other side of the street and shouted at another place.
Bai Gui, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing continued walking on the street.
It's just that Bai Suzhen's eyebrows were frowning. After walking for a while, she finally couldn't help the doubts in her heart and stepped forward and asked: "Master Bai, although my family lives in Gusu, the last time I was in the West Lake, I heard the boatman say that you
I am a well-known good person in Lin'an, and you do good deeds from time to time. Even a poor man like the boatman can talk to you..."
"But why..."
She paused, a little confused.
A large part of the reason why she is willing to plant feelings of love on Bai Gui is that Bai Gui has an excellent reputation in Lin'an. Such a person, even if he plants feelings of love, does not worry about the payment being unfair.
But in the scene just now, Bai Gui acted very coldly.
If she hadn't helped the old charcoal seller pick up animal charcoal, Bai Gui and his personal guards probably wouldn't have taken action.
Bai Gui smiled and did not answer.
The personal guard beside him, Chen Ce, who was also one of the Thirteen High-level Guanshi, saw this and asked Bai Gui for instructions, and replied: "My dear lady, do you know a sentence? What is it... If you abandon the sage and abandon the wisdom, the people will benefit a hundred times."
"You stepped forward to help this old man selling charcoal. It seemed like you were helping him, but the old man needed help from a noble man like you, but how many bows did he make? How many salutes did he make?"
"My general did not directly help the old charcoal seller, but look at the clothes the old charcoal seller is wearing. Although it is not silk, it is enough to keep warm."
"If you look at his appearance, he has plenty of flesh on his cheeks and no expression of hunger on his face."
"This... is my general's kind deed!"
Chen Ce said slowly.
Although he was originally just a small soldier in the Xiang Army and did not know much about writing. But when he was close to Zhu, he was red, and when he was close to Mo, he was black. After following Bai Gui for a long time, the deep meaning of some actions gradually became clear.
For soldiers to be effective, they must not only have the most basic requirement of adequate food and pay, but also the personal charm of a general.
And this is precisely the charm of Bai Gui.
Since all the wars, nearly half of the thirteen warriors have been killed or injured, but these warriors still follow Bai Gui because they see something different from other generals in Bai Gui.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the remaining warlords are all middle- and high-level generals in the army. The casualties and casualties are the injuries before the rise. At this point, unless the entire army is annihilated, under normal circumstances, the army will
The middle and high-level generals are not easily killed or wounded.
"If you abandon your sage and abandon your wisdom, the people will benefit a hundredfold..."
Bai Suzhen suddenly realized.
The good deeds she performed were small good deeds that could be directly seen by others. Bai Gui formulated national policies and restored people's power, and did great good deeds. Although these great good deeds are invisible and intangible, in fact they are far greater than her
Small acts of kindness are much more important.
A national policy that benefits all people.
Compared with Bai Gui, her good deeds pale in comparison.
Although it is said that kindness is no matter how big or small, in fact, deep down in my heart, I feel the same.
Similarly, she also understood why Bai Gui didn't directly help the charcoal seller. It was simple. Although Bai Gui had an official status in the past, he was just a low-level official. It was no big deal to directly help the people. But now Bai Gui,
He is the King of Qin, and every move he makes has far-reaching influence.
She helped the charcoal seller, and the charcoal seller bowed and saluted her as a fairy concubine. But if Bai Gui, the majestic King of Qin, ended up, then he would not be limited to bowing and saluting.
"I'm so sorry that I'm only dressed in so many clothes, but my heart is so miserable and I wish the weather would be cold."
"Miss Bai, after Bai Letian wrote this poem, will the charcoal sellers become extinct? The nobles in Chang'an need to keep warm, and this is profitable, so there are charcoal sellers."
"The only thing I can do is to impose less exorbitant taxes on such people."
Bai Gui shook his head and said.
“Why are there just fewer exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, rather than being completely exempted?”
"There are not many charcoal sellers in Chang'an. How many can we collect from them..."
Xiaoqing interjected.
Although she may not have much sympathy for these charcoal sellers, logically speaking, since they have benevolent intentions and the charcoal sellers cannot collect any taxes, it is better to exempt them entirely.
When Chen Ce saw this, he wanted to go back, but for a while, he couldn't think of anything good to say.
Of course he understood that King Qin must have profound intentions in this regard.
But he was a little confused about the deeper meaning.
"Why is it an old man selling charcoal?"
"It's because of the low profits. If I abolish miscellaneous taxes, the small profits will turn into huge profits, and the charcoal seller will make less money, so the taxes can be reduced, but they cannot be abolished."
Bai Gui replied smoothly.
With his knowledge and extensive knowledge, it is easy to handle political affairs. However, his clever articles will inevitably be obscure to ordinary people.
One question and one answer.
Bai Suzhen looked at Bai Gui with brighter and brighter eyes.
