Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go
Chapter 306 Reminiscing about the past
The White House in Kyoto.
The candlelight in the study was dim, a middle-aged man was sitting behind the desk, and two figures, one tall and one short, stood opposite him.
Bai Xiu pushed the letter in front of him to his two brothers: "Let's take a look."
After Bai Shao took the letter and read it, his expression changed greatly, and he slapped his hand on the table: "Barbarians and thieves, who do you think the Bai family is? How dare you treat us like this."
Bai Ze took out the letter from his palm and looked at it, then put it on the fire and burned it to ashes.
"This is not a good thing you did!" Bai Xiu sneered, and angrily rebuked: "I kept you in Yangzhou back then to ask you to find the whereabouts of the prince. You could have colluded with the barbarians while your elder brother was away. Now This is your own consequences.”
Bai Shao knew he was in the wrong, and his face turned blue and white after being scolded. He cooperated with the barbarians in the first place in order to get help from the barbarians. What he valued was the huge tribesmen behind him, but he didn't know that bitch Hong Gu was going behind his back. He first hooked up with the barbarian and wanted to kick him out and start his own business.
He was ignored, and the handle was still left in the hands of the barbarians. That bitch Hong Gu closed her eyes and died. It was as if he had eaten a fly, which was very difficult to do.
His Bai family has plummeted since the Guan Yin incident six years ago, otherwise how could he be so passive.
Exploiting officials and reducing their positions, from the original second-rank minister to the current ninth-rank prisoner, the family of important ministers has been reduced to the current small family, and this is all because of His Majesty's mercy and the Bai family's ancestors' contribution to the founding of the country. It's a waste of time for me to repair it once.
Otherwise, with the amount of 30 million taels of silver, it would not be enough for the whole Bai family to die ten times.
"That person is dissatisfied with us now. If he knows that we are colluding with the barbarians at this juncture, he will definitely abandon my Bai family and ignore it. At that time, our Bai family will really make the sky and the earth unstoppable. This matter, Can't respond." Bai Xiu analyzed in a deep voice with a livid face.
The third prince died suddenly and inexplicably two years ago, and everyone who had close contact with him became the object of suspicion.
After half a year of investigation but no results, Emperor Long Yan was furious and in a fit of rage wanted to kill everyone who had anything to do with the third prince.
No one knew that the Bai family had the closest relationship with the third prince. Bai Xiu thought that the Bai family was doomed at that time.
But who knew that an unexpected person interceded with His Majesty and not only saved them but also all those whom Your Majesty was planning to kill? This person was the former Prince, now Prince Yi.
Since the late prince had been in poor health since childhood, when the late emperor died, he accidentally fell into the water and became unconscious, so he almost went with the late emperor.
The former prince voluntarily gave up the throne and asked his fifth uncle, who is now Emperor Yuan'an, to succeed him. Emperor Yuan'an thought that he was ill and felt that he had volunteered to give up the throne. He specially named him Prince Yi and rewarded him with a piece of Kyoto. The house made him a leisurely prince who had no worries about food and clothing.
After this incident, everyone knew that the late prince was kind, as virtuous and trustworthy as ice and snow. If it weren't for his poor health, he would have been a wise king.
The former prince was also extremely low-key and philanthropic. It was said that he could not bear to drive away a beggar who passed by his house begging for food. Not only did he give him food and clothing, he even found a job for him in his house when he saw that his hands and feet were intact. Let him fend for himself.
As its reputation spread far and wide, many aristocratic families began to have evil thoughts.
Who doesn’t want to be a master?
The founding fathers of the country, the meritorious family, once established, enjoyed glory and wealth for hundreds of years, not to mention that the throne was originally given up by the former crown prince, and it was only right to take it back.
Of course, this kind of thing was done in private. The late prince refused at first. Later, with the strong support of many aristocratic families, he started to think about something he shouldn't have done. He secretly gathered troops and bought horses, waiting for everything to happen. All we need is a blow from the east wind.
The Bai family, like all aristocratic families, speaks human words to people and lies to ghosts.
Before the overall situation is decided, the chips will not be placed on one person. The Bai family has contacts with the third prince, but privately he has not let go of the sunrise tree of the first prince.
Regardless of whether the first prince saved his Bai family, now his Bai family must rely on the first prince.
Thinking about it, he raised his eyes and looked at the person next to Bai Shao. He was a very short dwarf, only as tall as a desk, with an ugly face. However, when Bai Xiu looked at him, there was a rare softness in his eyes.
"What do you think of Ze'er?"
Bai Ze hummed to express his agreement with Bai Xiu: "What my father said is reasonable, and this matter is really not deserved, but the barbarians have the second brother in their hands, so such a hasty refusal will definitely make him dissatisfied. The Bai family cannot afford any accidents now, son I will send a letter to ask about the situation and I will make a decision at that time.”
Rejecting is tantamount to offending, and agreeing is afraid that the other person will know. The Bai family is really riding a tiger.
"Father, according to rumors, someone is investigating what happened eighteen years ago. Do you want your son to go and find out?" Bai Ze said suddenly.
After hearing this, Bai Xiu stood up directly from behind the case, his face several times darker than when he was troubled by the barbarian.
"Where did you hear it? Who passed it on?"
"The spies sent out by my son found out about it. My son went to check out that person. He is also like us, and he is under the command of the late prince."
When Bai Xiu heard that the other party was under the command of the late prince, he frowned and sat down: "That incident eighteen years ago allowed my Bai family to enjoy decades of prosperity. Unfortunately, my father was short-sighted and did not realize the importance of the matter. Now that I think about it, it's really... I regret my mistake, now we, the Bai family, must fully support the late prince to ascend the throne. Only in this way can we, the Bai family, survive when things are exposed. "
He sighed, and a fierce look flashed in his cloudy eyes: "Reply to the barbarian's letter and say that my Bai family agrees with what he said in the letter. As a condition, my Bai family also needs their support. Whenever my Bai family needs it, When employing people, their people must be at my disposal at any time."
Bai Ze was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Son, I obey."
Bai Shao was a little confused: "Father, aren't you afraid that that person will find out?"
Bai Xiu glared at him. He was clearly his most valued son, but he couldn't compare to an ugly dwarf. His brain was as stupid as a donkey. To win the respect of the other party, first of all, the Bai family must have the capital to teach the other party to look at him with dignity, and he Bai Xiu glared at him. What does the family have now?
If you don't gain some chips for yourself, even if the other party ascends to the throne, the Bai family will still be the one abandoned. After all, support is not just empty talk.
It was a dark night with a high and cold wind howling. A man sneaked out of the backyard of Zibai's house and walked quickly towards the depths of the alley.
There was a person deep in the alley who had been waiting for a long time. The Bai family members whispered a few words in his ear and left quickly. The man turned around and disappeared into the night.
In the attic of the Furong Jin Pavilion in Kyoto, Gu Qingchen was playing with a gold seal in his hand and listening to Bai Zhou's report.
"The Bai family really took the bait." Mr. Mo said with a smile.
Gu Qingchen was noncommittal and was not surprised at all what the Bai family did. He stood up with the gold seal and walked out.
Mr. Mo called him hurriedly: "Where are you going this late at night?"
Gu Qingchen said without even looking back: "Reminiscing about the past."
