Jianjia Chronicle

Chapter 41 41

On this side, Mrs. Xie personally went to the kitchen to prepare fine meals for Bo Ran to send to Bo Ran, while on the other side Bo Ran had already met Li Sui and others in the study.

"Lian Xianlong said that the sufferer was not beaten to death by his brother-in-law, but by a servant. The master should not be burdened by the slave, and the master should not be burdened by it. Arguing with him on the basis of 'slaves and livestock', a slave kills a man like a master wielding a weapon, so there is no reason to blame the weapon and let the murderer go!" Li Sui reported what happened that day to Bo Ran.

Bo Ran smiled, this Bai Ju is quite capable. He was studying in the Bai Mansion at that time, and his main focus was the law. It's not surprising that he can say this, but it's rare for him to stand up. At that time, he was just a fifth-rank Zhongshu Sheren next to the emperor.The position of Zhongshu Sheren is a low position and powerful, and the emperor is close to the minister. Every time the emperor issues an edict, there must be a Zhongshu Sheren drafting an edict. The emperor has unresolved matters and occasionally asks for advice. Waiting for the business, it is very important, there are four Zhongshu Sheren around the emperor, no matter which one is vacant, it must be that each family fights to put their own people on top.

Bo Ran's foresight of the affairs in the palace depended on the eunuchs, and Bo Zanzhi knew many things about the late emperor's past, which were the words passed down by Bo Juan.Bai Ju has been in this position for three years, give him another six months, and next year when the officials come to Beijing, let him move to a place to practice, where to go, or ask him to make a decision.

Do talents need to be used to the best of their ability? "Let Bo Ju come over tomorrow, I have something to say to him." Bo Ran said, and someone at the side immediately wrote it down.

After giving this order, she said to everyone: "King Zhao and Lian Xianlong are in a hurry. Jingzhao must not give up his position. As for the others, you can let go. It would not be beautiful to jump over the wall in a hurry."

Everyone's expressions were different, but they all agreed. Listening to the king's intention, it seemed that they didn't want to solve King Zhao too quickly.

"King Zhao will only be more anxious than us," Li Sui said, "The longer His Majesty reigns, the more stable his position will be. Now Long Shuo's army has Lian Xianlong holding three hands in the fourth. This is a taboo. There are still soldiers in Zhao who don't know how many , Then Prince Zhao is also a man with ideas." In such a situation, the more clean and neat the solution to the other party, the better, and it is easy to cause trouble if it is delayed.

"I'm afraid that Prince Zhao will obey orders wholeheartedly." Bai Ran said coldly, "Now that the world is settled and His Majesty acts in an orthodox manner, why should King Zhao start trouble? It's not a danger!" He still seemed unwilling to kill him.

Everyone didn't understand what Bo Ran's idea was, and heard that her words were vague, and they didn't dare to ask further questions. Seeing that the matter was over and it was getting late, they all left and prepared to go home to ponder the meaning of Bo Ran's words .

Don't speak too clearly, especially some words can't be expressed in words but can only be understood.Bo Ran stood up and said, "After two days away from home, I have accumulated so many official duties. Forgive me for being busy, so I won't see you off."

Everyone laughed and said, "How dare you?"

Bai Yifu remembered the reason why Bo Ran left Beijing, and asked straightforwardly: "Have you found the fairyland on earth?"

As soon as he mentioned the fairyland on earth, Bo Ran thought of Xiangcheng. They could meet each other, so it could not be said that it was not fate. Hou was sad.Bai Yishe hurriedly grabbed Bai Yifu and said, "Your Majesty is busy, I will take my leave."

Bo Ran nodded, and when they left, Fang closed his eyes and pondered.

The matter of the imperial court is not accomplished overnight, even if she is willing to deal with King Zhao with all her strength, it will not be accomplished in a year or two, not to mention, from the beginning, she did not intend to use the power of the Bai family to remove obstacles for the emperor. In the fifth year, King Zhao strives to be more energetic. It would be better to drag it out for seven or eight years, so as to wear him down and avoid the loss of his own people.At that time, the emperor will be in charge, and she has pushed up the available people in the Bai family in the past few years, and the other families will not stand still, and the court will be another situation.The emperor will grow up sooner or later, and she has no plans to change her master, so she has to establish a good relationship with the emperor. The first emperor used Xiangcheng to connect the Bai family with the royal family. She wanted to find a good home in Xiangcheng, and Bai's family also benefited a lot from this marriage, and her relationship with the emperor became closer. If there was a rift between the emperor and Bai's family one day, it was impossible for the emperor not to consider Xiangcheng's feelings.

"It's not enough, it's not enough." A relationship that relies on emotion alone can be strong or collapse in an instant. There are too many variables, and it is not a long-term solution.Bo Ran murmured to herself, she has enough emotional restraint, she has enough power, and there is still morality left to make a fuss about. The Taifu, Taishi, Taibao and Sangong are the assistants to the king, and they are the emperor's teachers. Now they are still empty, Taifu She doesn't want it, Grand Master... If Xiangcheng can help and deal with it at this time, it will be much easier.

Thinking of this, Bo Ran shook his head secretly, deliberately rejected the shortcut of asking Xiangcheng for help, there are other ways, don't go to her again.

Bo Ran picked up his pen and wanted to write a letter to Bo Zanzhi, but suddenly thought that he would see Bai Zheng tomorrow, so he put the pen down after thinking about it.

Bo Ran hastily finished his dinner and went to Mrs. Xie's place.There are six ceremonies in a wedding: acceptance, name asking, auspiciousness, acceptance, asking for a date, and a personal welcome. The aristocratic family emphasizes etiquette. These six ceremonies cannot be avoided in one step. It will take more than a year to complete the whole set. At the latest, early next year. Take action, really as Mr. Xie said, it won't take long to push back, pushing three times and pushing four times, on the contrary, it makes people think that Bai Shi is dissatisfied with Xiangcheng and has a bad reputation.

"Let's ask the clan elders to do it after we know about it." Bo Ran calmed down and said in an orderly manner, "She will live in the princess mansion in the future, and we don't have much contact with each other, we just live our lives separately. "

"There is no reason for husbands and wives to live in separate residences. The empress dowager wants to leave the Princess's residence idle and use the Marquis's residence as her living place." Xie said.

The son-in-law had always lived with the princess in the princess mansion, and Bo Ran had a noble title, so she was reluctant to live in her own mansion. If the princess offered to live in the Hou's mansion, it would be very considerate of Bo Ran's face.This was good intentions, but it added to her troubles, Bo Ran frowned: "The Empress Dowager is very considerate of Your Highness."

Mrs. Xie glanced at her: "The empress dowager said, this is what His Royal Highness Xiangcheng himself meant."

Bo Ran was stunned: "What is she going to do?" It took her a long time to understand what she was thinking, and naturally she still couldn't understand what Xiangcheng was thinking.

Mrs. Xie didn't know what to say, she could see it, when she visited Xiangcheng in the past, she was always careful when it came to Bo Ran, Mrs. Xie was finally here, what else didn't she understand?But it's hard to say this, Xie thought for a while: "She is also trying to save your face, it's a good intention, I can't blame her."

Bo Ran didn't mean to blame Xiangcheng, and she wasn't like the kind of person who said "it's all your fault that I like you, I hate you", she was just surprised and irritable after her plan was broken.

"But it's not easy to arrange. If they live under the same roof, there may be changes."

If she wants to refuse, it is not impossible for her to refuse, but in this way, no matter how high-sounding the words are, the result will be there, and no one can help but think that the princess's virtue is at a disadvantage.People have good intentions, but you push other people's good intentions out. This is not marriage, but enmity.

In the past, Bo Ranxing could really try to do such a thing, but now she can't, because it is about Xiangcheng, she has to think more, and she has to be more scrupulous, because she is ashamed and can make mistakes again and again?There is always a difference between caring and not caring.

Xie's eyes became darker, she had never worried about where the princess would live in the future.What is there to worry about where you live?With such a big place in the house, if Bo Ran is unwilling, who can force her to be intimate with Xiangcheng?She couldn't see through such a simple question, and she still felt constrained. It can be seen that if she cares, she will be chaotic.Bo Ran doesn't seem to be so calm towards Xiangcheng...

Seeing that Mrs. Xie didn't speak, Bo Ran looked at her with a strange expression instead, she couldn't help touching her face as she did when she was a child, and said dully: "Why do you look at me like this, Aunt?"

Xie's heart suddenly softened like water, he shook his head lightly, and said softly: "It's just that you are going to marry a bride, and it's just a sigh of time flies - you don't have to think about this matter, just tell your aunty to get rid of the headache."

When Mrs. Xie spoke, Bo Ran never refuted her, and felt in her heart that she couldn't make a decision on this matter, so she was embarrassing, it was very unpleasant, she moved her body a little uneasy, and said: "My son will write a letter tomorrow. "

Xie smiled and nodded.

On the second day, Bo Ran met with Bai Zheng early in the morning.

"Next year, the officials will report on their duties. I want to change places for you. Where do you want to go?" Bo Ran said bluntly.

Bai Ju thought for a while, and said simply and neatly: "My nephew is willing to take charge of the government of one side."

Bo Ran smiled: "You have big ambitions."

"Nephew is ashamed."

Bo Ran waved his hand, and suddenly said: "King Zhao is a national thief, how should I deal with it?"

Bai Ju was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Bo Ran to ask him this, he didn't think long, and he said clearly: "For His Majesty's plan, make a quick decision, for Bai's plan, keep him, in case all parties become bigger, and also You can contain Bai Shi so that His Majesty won't be alarmed by Bai Shi's power." The thinking was clear, almost blurted out, and I must have had this idea in my heart.

Bo Ran glanced at him, nodded slightly meaninglessly, and then said unhurriedly: "There are still half a year left, and you will be in the position of Zhongshu Sheren, so His Majesty must remember you and treat you differently." Wait." The emperor remembered a person, and his future promotions and promotions would go smoothly.

Bai Ju didn't ask any other questions, and bowed respectfully: "Nephew made a note."
