Chapter seven hundred and twelve entrusted by the new emperor
After the Supreme Emperor's coffin was buried in the imperial mausoleum, the new emperor issued dozens of decrees.
For some ministers who were wavering or whose crimes were not serious enough to die, they were all promoted or demoted secretly, or they had the same official position, but were assigned to officials in the corner of the corner.
And those children from poor families who have made great achievements but cannot be promoted because they have no connections have all seen the light and have a place to use themselves.
One of the decrees was that Shangguan Yu would officially inherit the throne of Han Dynasty, and Bai Ling would naturally become a first-class Han princess.
Bai Ling was successful in saving the Supreme Emperor, but as a woman, she could not outdo her husband in terms of status, so the new emperor gave the reward to the Bai family.
Naturally, Bai Sanshu and his wife wanted to advance to the next level. As their youngest daughters, sisters Bai Wei and Bai Xing, they were also granted the title of County Lord and were given rewards, but they did not receive monthly salary.
"Is this the beginning?" After learning the Holy Will, Bai Ling had already imagined that the beautiful flower he raised would be swept away by the pig Xin Jun... No, it felt like it was a real dragon in the world.
"Don't think so much. Maybe the two of them will fade away if they no longer have contact. It is always a good thing for a woman to have a title." Shangguan Yu comforted her.
"Well, it's a pie in the sky. If you don't pick it up, you won't pick it up." Bai Ling also sighed and didn't worry too much.
"It's better to send this token to the new emperor as early as possible. It feels very hot when you hold it in your hand." Bai Ling said again.
The couple had discussed long ago that they could not keep this token.
Although the Supreme Emperor said it was an act of entrustment, who can guarantee that it was not a temptation?
If the new emperor knew about this token, there would definitely be a gap between them, which would go against their original wishes.
Early the next morning, the two went into the palace to meet the saint.
The clothes of the King of Han and the Princess of Han had been prepared as early as the wedding of the two.
However, when the Supreme Emperor was on the throne, he still did not issue an imperial edict, so the couple was not qualified to wear it.
After saluting in the imperial study room, Bai Ling asked for orders to retreat, then placed the token on the imperial desk and told the origin of the token.
"We were afraid of turmoil before, so we never returned the token to the emperor. We also asked the emperor to forgive us." Bai Ling nodded.
"Since it is my father's will, I have no reason to disobey it. Princess Han just keeps the token, maybe it will be my life-saving talisman in the future." After the new emperor looked at it carefully, he got up and came to Bai Ling.
In front of you, hand out the token.
"My wife can't take it." Bai Ling shook his head and explained: "My wife has only been in the capital for a short period of time, so I might not be able to take on such an important responsibility! Please ask the emperor to choose someone else."
"Princess Han is afraid that I have a grudge in my heart?" the new emperor asked with a smile.
Meeting such an outspoken emperor, Bai Ling wanted to have a pleasant chat with him.
But there are some things that men can communicate with each other, but men and women cannot communicate with each other, especially between monarchs and ministers. Everything must be done with a few points.
"The emperor has misunderstood. I just think that there should be more people around the emperor to protect him. And if I can't always detect the crisis in the palace, what is the difference between harming the emperor?" Bai Ling's words have some truth.
If something happened to the new emperor and he had no heirs, it would naturally be the other princes left by the previous emperor who would seize the throne.
Bai Ling is also worried about what attitude the winner will have towards the Han Palace and whether there will be bloodshed.
"If this is the case, Princess Han can leave some people to protect my safety in secret. Unless I encounter a life threat, I am not allowed to show up. This provides me with protection and will not be noticed by those with ulterior motives.
The Princess of Han can also keep her promise to the late emperor, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" asked the new emperor.
After all, there are differences between men and women. The new emperor put the token into Shangguan Yu's hands and said seriously: "I leave my safety in the hands of you and your wife as a sign of my trust in you. I hope that these dragon guards will not only protect my safety.
, and they can still play their role. I believe the King of Han understands what I mean."
The new emperor's actions were not only a sign of trust, but also a way of telling Shangguan Yu that he had no murderous intention towards the Han Palace.
Moreover, the court seemed calm, but in fact it was turbulent.
As well as the news that Shangguan Yu brought back from the Western Han Dynasty, the new emperor had to treat it with caution and nip it in the bud!
The couple looked at each other, both understood the meaning of this token, and could no longer refuse.
Shangguan Yu lifted his robe and saluted, while Bai Ling half-kneeled.
"I, my wife, will never let down the entrustment of the Supreme Emperor, nor betray the trust of the Emperor!" the two said seriously.
"You two gentlemen, please get up."
The new emperor raised his hand to help Shangguan Yu, then supported Bai Lingxu, turned around and sat back on the dragon chair.
"I, as I have just ascended the throne, there must be many forces ready to move. Now the internal troubles of the Eastern Han Dynasty have not yet appeared. I do not want to have civil strife for the time being, lest the people behind the scenes take action, and the national treasury is empty, and there are no soldiers to use."
"I want to give you a difficult task, and I ask you to promise me that you will do it for the sake of all people in the world, even those innocent people in other countries!"
The new emperor's solemn attitude forced Bai Ling and his wife to treat him with caution.
Half an hour later, Bai Ling and his wife came out of the palace, but their mood was much heavier than when they came.
The world was in chaos, and the new emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty was willing to join forces with other countries, but the price paid was heavy, otherwise it would be difficult to form allies.
The important thing is that the world is so big that no one knows how big a person's layout is, and naturally they can't predict how much troops and military supplies they need to prepare.
"Shangguan, we will be separated tomorrow, so be careful." After getting on the carriage, Bai Ling leaned on Shangguan Yu's shoulder and said reluctantly and worriedly.
"Same for you." Shangguan Yu hugged Bai Ling tightly and placed a kiss on her forehead. It was the same for Shangguan Yu.
The two left in a hurry this time, announcing to the outside world that they were going back to the Northland.
So we will set off together tomorrow and say goodbye after leaving the capital.
Although the new emperor did not ask for the hostages to be kept in the Han Palace, it would be inconvenient for the Han Princess to leave with them, and she would be in danger, so it was better to stay in the Han Palace for the time being.
That night, Shangguan Yu went to Yang Fan for a secret discussion, while Bai Ling and Princess Han talked in the secret room for nearly an hour.
Bai Ling gave a general summary of the two men's actions, but did not tell them in detail because he did not want Princess Han to worry.
In addition, Bai Ling naturally wanted to leave behind a large amount of supplies.
Once the capital is trapped, with these things, it is possible to hold on for three more months.
To put it another way, if the capital city falls, the escape of the Han Princess will be more secure.
"You just go about your business with peace of mind. Mother will not put yourself in danger. The centuries-old foundation of the Han Palace cannot be easily touched. Your sister's family, as well as your property and manpower in the capital, mother will also help.
Just protect me and don’t have any worries!" Princess Han concealed her worries and said comfortingly.
"Thank you, mother, we will return safely." Bai Ling said excitedly.
Bai Ling was naturally worried about these things before leaving the capital.
Although Princess Han may not be so considerate, Bai Ling can always feel at ease with her commitment.
"Silly boy, we are a family, no polite words." Princess Han said again: "Over at Nanshan Village, I will arrange for secret guards to go there, so you don't have to worry."
"Okay, Linger understands." Bai Ling nodded.
At night, Bai Ling went to Yang Mansion again.
He was about to leave, and without seeing Baicao and her son, without making some arrangements, Bai Ling would always feel uneasy.
"The eldest sister is just a woman in the back house and doesn't understand the important things you are going to do. But the eldest sister understands the principle of being strong as a mother. If something happens, the eldest sister will focus on saving her life. You should remember this when you go out.
"Baicao's worry was written all over his face, but he couldn't say anything to save her.
"I will write to Chu Wen and tell him to pay attention to his safety. It is best to bring Bai Wei to the capital or back to Nanshan Village." Knowing Bai Cao's temperament, Bai Ling said this specifically. (To be continued)
