After hearing Bai Zhenshan's words, Baidie felt both happy and worried. Fortunately, Bai Zhenshan doesn't really value He Zhen, but just treats him as a chess piece. Since he is a chess piece, he can be discarded at any time. What worries me is Bai Zhenshan's precautions and checks on the Xu family.
Baidie always felt that they shouldn't treat the Xu family like this, but if she had to convince Bai Zhenshan, she didn't know where to start, and she felt a little depressed.
Bai Zhenshan didn't notice Bai Die's expression. He waved his hand and said, "Die'er, please tell me about Xu Yaoting now."
"Xu Yaoting?" Baidie looked up and clearly saw a deep vigilance in Bai Zhenshan's eyes. This made Baidie's heart sink suddenly, and said naa, "He... what does he have to say?" of?"
Bai Zhenshan smiled slightly and said, "Nothing to say? Shouldn't you? A twenty-year-old Dzogchen has never appeared since the founding of the Qingyun Empire. This young man is really not simple. Even me, I can’t see through him at all.”
As he spoke, the vigilance revealed in the corners of Bai Zhenshan's eyes became stronger and stronger, which made Bai Die's heart become more and more nervous. Seeing Bai Zhenshan's appearance, Bai Die had no doubt that there would definitely be a life-and-death struggle between him, Xu Yaoting, and the Xu family, which Bai Die did not want to see anyway.
"Dad, Xu Yaoting is indeed very capable, but he is loyal to my Bai family. This rebellion against the enemy is an example! Father, whether it is Xu Yaoting or the Xu family, they are loyal to the country and the country. We in the Bai family have great benefactors, so we can’t do anything random and chill the hearts of the loyal ministers in the world!”
"You girl, didn't I tell you before? We are just on guard, not deliberately harming the Xu family! You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others!" Seeing Bai Die's eyes full of worry, Bai Zhenshan held her hand and comforted her with a smile.
Although Bai Die didn't agree with Bai Zhenshan's approach, he also knew that the reason why the Bai family was almost destroyed in Qiu Wanli's hands today was because they had never been wary of him and ended up raising tigers. Speaking of which, Bai Zhenshan learned a lot from the experience!
After pondering for a moment, Baidie said quietly, "There are indeed many puzzling things about Xu Yaoting. About a year ago, he was an ignorant and ignorant man who only knew how to do evil and cause trouble by relying on the power of King Dingshan. However, in this year, he seems to have become a different person. His cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and his way of dealing with people has also undergone great changes. The former Xu Yaoting can be said to be notorious, and anyone who mentions him. Everyone gnashed their teeth in hatred. But now, his appearance has completely changed. When people mention him, they all praise him, especially the warriors in the world, who have a good reputation that makes people jealous. "
"Although people can change, such a big change has occurred in just one year. Dieer, do you think it is possible?"
"It's indeed a bit unbelievable! But maybe Xu Yaoting has some adventure."
"Adventure? Adventure can make a person's cultivation improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. I believe that. But what kind of adventure can make a person's personality undergo earth-shaking changes in a short period of time? You know, a person's nature is easy to change but hard to change. ”
"Then... what dad means is..."
"Keep your edge in check and keep a low profile!" After a while, Bai Zhenshan frowned and spat out these eight words.
"Hide your capabilities and bide your time? What do you mean, dad, is that all Xu Yaoting's bad deeds in the past were all just an act?"
Bai Zhenshan didn't answer but asked, "Apart from this, can you think of a more reasonable explanation?"
"But what's the reason? Why did he do this?"
"Being humiliated and bearing the burden has a far-reaching goal! So, Die'er, we must be on guard against the Xu family!"
Bai Die fell silent, and had to admit in his heart that he seemed to be convinced by Bai Zhenshan.
"Hey! Today's Xu family is really amazing. For three generations, Xu Wenchuan has been the king of Dingshan, sitting in the capital, with power over the government and the public. Xu Tianlong is the Marquis of Ningbei, with millions of cavalry under his command, dominating the area, echoing Xu Wenchuan from a distance The father and son alone are enough to give Weijun a headache, but now an even more outrageous Xu Yaoting appears, the twenty-year-old Dzogchen, the undisputed top master of the Qingyun Empire, no, I'm afraid if you look at the entire Dongxuan. I'm afraid no one in the mainland can be his opponent. Die'er, the power of the Xu family is probably greater than that of our Bai family."
As soon as Bai Zhenshan said these words, Bai Die's heart skipped a beat and sank suddenly. She had never thought about this, but when Bai Zhenshan said it, she was really frightened. The current Xu family is probably even more powerful than the old enemy!
"If Xu Yaotingkong has extraordinary cultivation and no hidden strategies in his mind, there is nothing to be afraid of. However, although this boy is young, his scheming is deep and terrifying. Qiu Wanli's plan to usurp the throne can be said to be flawless. But in Xu Yaoting's hands, everything fell apart in an instant. Die'er, you know, throughout my life, I have never been afraid of anyone, but for Xu Yaoting, I feel a little bit of fear."
"Ah? No way, dad." Bai Zhenshan actually said such words, which really shocked Bai Die.
Bai Zhenshan shook his head and let out a bitter smile, with a somewhat helpless look on his face.
…
The next morning, all civil and military officials rushed to the palace early. Because Wandong, Luo Xiao and others all made great contributions, Bai Zhenshan wanted to reward them one by one, so they were among the officials.
Although Wandong and his group of young people were all commoners without official rank, they had become popular among civil and military officials at this time. No matter who meets him, no matter what rank he is, he must come up to greet him and chat with him for a few words. Everyone knows in their hearts that today is the day when these young people will make great achievements and become famous. There may not be much at the moment, but if you look a little further, you can think that these young people will definitely be at the center of power of the Qingyun Empire in the future. Wouldn't it be too late to wait until then to fawn over
But compared to these young generals, Wu Jinhun and Hu Yue, the two fathers, are more prestigious. Not to mention his own success and fame, the son he gave birth to was also so successful. He really fulfilled the old saying that I am a hero and my son is a good man. I don’t know how many people envied him.
Bai Zhenshan was quite generous. He awarded rewards along the way. Hu Jingqi, Wu Jinhun, Wu Daozi and other civil and military officials who supported Bai Die yesterday were all promoted to three levels and received tens of thousands of taels of bounty! This time Qiu Wanli fell, all the gold, silver and silk he had collected over the years were added to the national treasury, which immediately filled the national treasury.
People have long spread that Qiu Wanli is as rich as a country, and his family has several mountains of gold. The raid on the house this time confirmed the rumors and made the Bai family feel full! Naturally, Bai Zhenshan didn't take this little bounty seriously.
Luo Xiao, Hu Yue, Wu Yang, Zong Yang and other young generals, including Lian Zong Qinghe, Ba Ling'er and Wu Yue, were all given official positions. Although they were not very high, Luo Xiao, the highest, only had the rank of sixth grade, and the rest Everyone is a seventh-grade official, but this is a real job after all. The official title that brings the imperial salary is very impressive compared to their age. The generals of Dingshan Guard have also taken the first step to make achievements.
As for Wang Yangde, he was the top pick in the Qingyun Ranking, a talent picked from a thousand miles. This time he made extraordinary achievements and received even more generous rewards. He was directly regarded as the fifth-grade Guanyong Baron by Bai Zhenshan, which was a head higher than Luo Xiao. Originally, Bai Zhenshan wanted to keep Wang Yangde by his side, but Wang Yangde politely refused. Although Bai Zhenshan was slightly unhappy, he did not force anyone to do anything.
After a round of awards, Bai Zhenshan finally turned his attention to Xu Wenchuan and Wandong's ancestors and grandsons.
"Prince Xu, you are now the king of Dingshan. You are inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. How to reward you is really difficult for me."
Xu Wenchuan immediately leaned over and said, "What I have done is for my duty. I do not dare to ask for rewards!"
Bai Zhenshan nodded and said with a smile, "Prince Xu is so loyal and admirable. However, it is only fair to have rewards and punishments! Uh! I have decided to make you the Iron Hat King of Dingshan. The throne will be hereditary and will benefit your descendants!" In addition, your son Xu Tianlong, who has made outstanding achievements in guarding Northern Xinjiang for many years, is specially allowed to be named King of Ningbei and be rewarded with one hundred thousand taels of gold!"
As soon as Bai Zhenshan finished speaking, everyone in the court was in an uproar. Two kings in one sect, what an honor this is? Since the founding of the Qingyun Empire, no family has ever enjoyed such honor and favor. However, after marveling at it and taking a closer look, compared to the Xu family's astonishing achievements, this small reward seems to be nothing significant.
The words "iron hat" really don't mean much to Xu Wenchuan. Even if Bai Zhenshan didn't add these three words to Xu Wenchuan, would Xu Wenchuan not be the iron hat king? With the Xu family's current power, do you, Bai Zhenshan, really dare to get rid of someone else's 'king title'? As far as hereditary succession is concerned, I still have a little insight into it.
Since Xu Wenchuan was no longer able to be granted a title, it was only natural that he should reward his son instead. Furthermore, Xu Tianlong has been guarding Northern Xinjiang for so long and has made numerous military exploits, so he should have been crowned king long ago.
Thinking of this, all the civil and military officials were relieved. Even someone like He Zhen, who was unhappy, had nothing to say in the face of such a reward.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Xu Wenchuan accepted it with gratitude and leaned over to thank him.
After inviting Xu Wenchuan to his feet, Bai Zhenshan looked at Xu Yaoting with a smile and said, "Yao Ting, you are my savior. How should I reward you?"
When did Xu Yaoting become the emperor's savior? Didn't Sun Daobai think of a way to cure his disease
As soon as Bai Zhenshan said these words, it immediately aroused a discussion among the crowd. It was just a discussion, but no one dared to ask!
"The common people do not ask for rewards, but only hope that the emperor's dragon body will be healthy, so that our empire can be peaceful and peaceful for the people!"
Xu Yaoting may not understand etiquette, but Wandong grew up in the royal family since childhood, and he is very knowledgeable about the rules and etiquette! At this time, he bowed down in a proper manner, followed the etiquette, and his words were very humble, which immediately put a smile on Bai Zhenshan's face. (To be continued)
