Bai Jitong was in a daze, no matter how powerful their Bai family was, they couldn't just invite them.

He looked at Bai Lao again, with uncertainty in his eyes.

He thought to himself, the surname Jiang is not uncommon, maybe it just happened to be heavy.

But he also knew that this possibility was extremely slim.

Under his puzzled eyes, Bai Lao nodded slightly, confirming what he was thinking.

The shock in Bai Jitong's heart is only known to him. If it is what he thinks, that person is Her Royal Highness. How lucky is it that his Bai family can be rescued by His Royal Highness personally?

The queen's medical skills have already been widely spread in one incident. First, she solved the plague first, and then she worked with the Imperial Hospital to develop a medicine to relieve the control of the floating world...

The Bai family has heard of all kinds of things.

Because of the relationship between the emperor and the empress, King Daqi paid special attention to medical skills, which resulted in the situation that the medical skills in the capital are more developed than other places. It is not that the Bai family never thought of taking Bai Lao to the capital to seek medical treatment, but the Bai family simply retreated back then. , wanting to go back is not an easy task.

"Then now, we..." The doctor's identity is that one, and it is indeed not something they can easily shake.

"Since Doctor Jiang promised to give me a diagnosis and treatment, I think he won't miss the appointment. He didn't reveal his identity, so we don't have to show it, just show the usual attitude towards doctors." Bai Lao said.

"Grandson understands."

"But what should be warned is still to be warned, don't let the juniors in the clan collide with the nobles." No matter how powerful their Bai family's secret power is, it is still not enough to compare with the current powerful Daqi.

The Bai family fell into a serious mood because of speculation about Jiang Ling's identity. Jiang Ling and the Ninth Prince had already arrived at Cheng's house in the sedan chair sent by the Bai family.

They were walking outside, still borrowing the identity of the Cheng family.

Cheng's mansion got the news and sent servants to guard the door to welcome them in respectfully.

After a short rest, the two diverted back to the palace.

Jiang Ling and Xiao Shengyun talked about the Bai family.

"Does Your Majesty know about the Bai family?"

"The Bai family?" Xiao Chengyun put down his pen, "I do know a Bai family. It was a family that was far away from court when the first emperor was still in power. It seems to have been keeping a low profile these years. How could Ling'er suddenly ask about the Bai family? ?”

"Today I met an old man from the Bai family. His body was affected by an old disease. He fainted on the way me and the Ninth Prince passed. Intractable diseases are very similar, and I want to see if I can solve them."

Xiao Shengyun stretched out his hand and pulled the young man who was close to him into his arms: "Ling'er can be saved if you want, don't worry about anything."

Jiang Ling nodded: "And I don't know why, the Bai family always gives me a very close feeling."

There is also a reason for agreeing to save people. Jiang Ling wants to find out where this closeness comes from.

"The Bai family has been hiding from the world for a long time," Xiao Chengyun touched Jiang Ling's soft long hair, "Ling'er feels that the Bai family is close, maybe it is because of the fate with the Bai family. There is a clear stream in the court, even if you have the status of a family, you never form a party for personal gain, but will support the poor children."

"Sounds like good courtiers, so why did they leave?" Jiang Ling squinted her eyes.

"I don't know about this. After I ascended the throne, I also asked the Bai family if I would like to come back. They gave a negative answer. In your school, the Zhang family also sent people to contact Bai Lao and asked him if he would like to come. The academy was also rejected."

After the Bai family left the court, it was silent for a period of time. Later, Bai Lao appeared in front of the world again, but no longer as the champion of the three yuan and the first, but as a scholar with a wealth of knowledge. Leaving traces of lectures, although no disciples have been accepted, how many scholars have been taught by him?

Knowing that Jiang Ling had contact with the Bai family, Xiao Shengyun sent people overnight to investigate the Bai family's activities over the years.

The Bai family is very low-key and very law-abiding. Han Wang once contacted the Bai family and wanted to cooperate with it, but was strictly rejected by the Bai family.

The King of Han has won over many powerful families in the Bai family. After Xiao Shengyun ascended the throne, he deliberately suppressed the development of the family. These families did not want to lose their rights, and soon got involved with King Han after he came to the door.

The southern part is far away from the capital, and there are many families, and the faction and private interests are more serious. The late emperor was incompetent, and his control over the local area was not as good as before. Wealth, strengthen yourself.

After Xiao Shengyun came to the throne, he had to solve the remaining problems in the capital first, and he didn't have the time or energy to clean up this side. Until now, he will use the southern tour to completely solve the problems in the south.

If King Han didn't intervene secretly, these families in the south alone would not be able to cause any disturbance, because not all families are like them. The family headed by the Cheng family, under the restraint of Princess Shuhui, is loyal to the court and forms It has become a confrontation with the family of King Han.

The aristocratic family has existed for too many years. They have deeply penetrated into this land and are connected with it by blood. It is impossible to completely eradicate it in three to five years, and Xiao Shengyun has no such plan.

It is impossible for anything to exist with only a bad side. As a qualified emperor, what Xiao Shengyun has to do is not to reuse a certain force according to his own preferences, but to balance the forces of all parties.

For the current Daqi, the existence of the aristocratic family has its own necessity.

This is a double-edged sword, and it can bring huge benefits if used well.

Xiao Shengyun told Jiang Ling about the Bai family's affairs, and after confirming that the Bai family would not affect Xiao Shengyun's plan, Jiang Ling started Bai Lao's treatment.

Daily acupuncture, medicated bath, decoction, three-pronged approach, Bai Lao's spirit improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In addition to the people brought in on the surface, Xiao Shengyun also brought a group of officials secretly. They never showed up from the beginning to the end, but secretly investigated the taxation and government affairs in various places.

The information found will be secretly collected on Xiao Shengyun's desk.

Under Xiao Shengyun's secret investigation, there was no way to hide which officials kept their own law and conscientiously worked hard, and which officials filled their pockets secretly.

Underneath the happy appearance, there is a raging undercurrent.

On the bright side, Xiao Shengyun came to the palace just for fun, besides dealing with government affairs every day, he just went around to have fun with his own queen.

The water town in the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous and rich, and there are too many places to play. The local officials put all their efforts to please the emperor. They swim in the lake today and listen to music tomorrow. Be firm, if you go on like this for a long time, your heart will be shaken.

During this period of time, the local officials also realized that their emperor valued the queen. At the beginning, some of them thought carefully to present beauties to the emperor. They were also men, so they naturally knew the bad nature of men. On this day, a southern beauty with excellent dancing skills and soft figure was presented to the emperor.

The beauty has been carefully trained, with a pure and pleasant appearance, but an extremely charming figure, and a strange fragrance on her body, as soon as she appeared, several people looked straight at her.

Xiao Shengyun didn't look at the person from the beginning to the end, no matter what the official hinted, he just pretended not to hear him. His silence made the official mistakenly think that it was acquiescence, and secretly sent him to the palace.As a result, he was dismissed and investigated on the first day.

Since then, no one has dared to touch the emperor in this matter.

It is obvious to all that the emperor cares about the queen. These officials are not stupid. It is better to please the queen than to do something on the body.

It's a pity that the queen is so well protected that they can't reach out if they want to.

All changes are hidden under the calm appearance, and so is the capital.

Ever since he was approached by King Han's people, Jiang Zhiyuan has been struggling every day. He has worked under Xiao Shengyun for a while, and he knows that the emperor is not so easy to deal with. If he didn't do those things, he would With the inseparable blood relationship with the queen, why worry about his future career?

Especially the emperor's caring attitude towards the queen.

No matter what the future holds, at least at this stage, there will be no other people around the emperor.

Jiang Zhiyuan thought more than once, if he hadn't allowed Mrs. Jiang and his son to bully that child after Jiang Ling's parents passed away, would all this have been very different?

Given how much the emperor valued Jiang Ling, as Jiang Ling's only relative, the emperor would not treat him badly for Jiang Ling's sake.

pity……

There is no what if in the world, so he can only think about all this.

Jiang Zhiyuan didn't know if Xiao Shengyun had found out that the matter of Jiang Ling's parents was related to him. He didn't dare to gamble. Once this secret was revealed, what awaited him would be a bottomless purgatory.

For his own sake, he could only feel sorry for his nephew Jiang Ling again.

"Master Jiang."

A voice from behind interrupted Jiang Zhiyuan's thoughts. He turned around and saw Xie Siyao standing not far from him.

"Thank you, sir, is there something wrong?"

Seeing Xie Siyao, Jiang Zhiyuan's mood was far from calm as he had shown. Xie Siyao was only in his teens, but he had already taken the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, with real power in his hands. A "thank you, sir"?

Just because he is today's cousin!

Thinking about how long he has struggled in this chaotic officialdom, he was able to sit in his current position under the shadow of his dead brother. How ironic that Xie Siyao can easily sit in a position that he can't even imagine at such a young age .

Xie Siyao didn't seem to notice anything, so he talked to him about the affairs of the court. Because of his status as the only family member of the empress, the ministers of the court were respectful to him, and would discuss some important matters with him. Today, Xie Siyao Talk to him about some important things.

Coincidentally, these are the things King Han asked him to inquire about.

Things were going so well that he felt unreal.

Jiang Zhiyuan hid the complicated look in his eyes, exchanged a few words with Xie Siyao, and left in a hurry.

After Jiang Zhiyuan left, Xie Siyao stood there for a while, and a guard appeared quietly. Xie Siyao lowered his eyes and said, "Follow him, and find out all his movements. It's best to use Mr. Jiang to check his movements." Out of the layout of the King of Han in the capital."

"Yes."

Jiang Zhiyuan returned to the Jiang Mansion. The current Jiang Mansion is very deserted. After Mrs. Jiang was accidentally killed by Jiang Yaohua, he had no intention of continuing, so he raised Jiang Xu's mother as a noble concubine and took charge of the mansion.

Straight into the study, he drove all the servants out, sat at the table, and grinded ink for himself.

A letter from home was revised and rewritten several times before it was finished.

Just about to load it up, the letter paper is more than pressed.

A man in a black robe stood by the table, looking at him for an unknown amount of time.

"At this point, do you still want to repair your relationship with your good nephew?" The man in black sneered in his voice.

"Maybe this is the last letter between me and him. It's a family relationship. He has been raised under my name for so many years." Jiang Zhiyuan lowered his eyes, and no one could see the emotion in his eyes clearly.

The man in black let go of his hand: "It's up to you."

Jiang Ling received a family letter from the capital, which was written by Jiang Zhiyuan. He looked at the signature on the envelope and was a little dazed.

"What is Jiang Zhiyuan doing?"

Xiao Shengyun took the envelope from his hand: "You'll know when you open it."

Before the envelope was delivered, it had been checked to make sure that nothing had been tampered with.

The envelope was opened, and a very short letter was taken out. Jiang Ling was about to read it, but found that the paper used to write the family letter was a bit thick, as if there were interlayers.

Xiao Shengyun opened it, and inside was a piece of letter paper, which was much thinner than ordinary paper.

The letter was unfolded, and after reading the contents, Jiang Ling was in a very complicated mood. He never expected that Jiang Zhiyuan would secretly write a letter to inform them of King Han's actions in the capital.
