Seeing Xu Wenchuan's determined expression, Bai Zhenshan immediately realized that Xu Wenchuan must have a suitable candidate, and needless to say, this candidate must be someone he can trust. Thinking of this, Bai Zhenshan's heart suddenly surged with indescribable anger. Is this Xu Wenchuan going too far? Is it possible that he really wants to turn me, Bai Zhenshan, into a puppet
Bai Zhenshan is also a very capable and proud person. He likes to control, but doesn't like to be controlled. If you let him be a puppet, it would be better to kill him with one knife. Bai Zhenshan immediately made up his mind. This time, even if he was against the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, he would never take a step back because he had no way to retreat.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhenshan's heart suddenly felt tragic! As if he was a righteous man who was about to die generously. The tragedy was followed by bursts of sadness and sighs.
"I guess the Mountain King already has a suitable candidate in mind, right?" Regardless of whether it was tragic or tragic, Bai Zhenshan had to brace himself for this, the 'fierce battle' he had expected.
Xu Wenchuan was not polite, nodded and said, "That's right! I think that General Huan, the commander of the army, can take on this important task!"
"I'm afraid that's not... ah!? Wait, you... who were you talking about just now?" As soon as Xu Wenchuan finished speaking, Bai Zhenshan almost instinctively opened his mouth to object, but he suddenly came to his senses in the middle of the sentence, his face Shangli was immediately covered by layers of astonishment, and he couldn't help asking Na Na.
Xu Wenchuan looked calm, opened his mouth and repeated, "Zhonglang General Huan!"
Huan was promoted by Bai Zhenshan and was loyal to Bai Zhenshan. After Bai Zhenshan fell ill, Qiu Wanli first tried to win over Huan, but was severely rejected by Huan. Later, Qiu Wanli began to suppress Huan in every possible way, and his official position was reduced several times. By the time Qiu Wanli forced the palace, Huan had been demoted to A small official who can't be smaller is responsible for guarding the city gate. After Bai Zhenshan's "comeback", he was promoted to Zhonglang General again.
For such a long-tested loyal minister, Bai Zhenshan can naturally trust him. If he could not trust him, Bai Zhenshan would not recommend him as the commander of Fengxiang Guard. It is precisely because of this that Bai Zhenshan was extremely shocked that Xu Wenchuan would nominate Huan to replace Xuanyou and become a general commanding thousands of troops!
Before Bai Zhenshan could recover from his shock, Xu Wenchuan said loudly, "Your Majesty, Huan is talented and loyal. He is unyielding in power and unyielding in wealth. The security of the capital can only be entrusted to such a person. Everyone can rest assured.”
When Xu Wenchuan rejected Huan's appointment as the commander of Fengxiang Guard, Bai Zhenshan thought that Xu Wenchuan did not want to see Huan, but he did not expect that Xu Wenchuan gave Huan such a high evaluation. Could it be said that Xu Wenchuan really discussed the matter as it happened and was dedicated to serving the public good without any selfish motives
Looking at Xu Wenchuan, with an upright and calm look on his face, Bai Zhenshan suddenly recalled those days of conquering here and there. At that time, Xu Wenchuan followed him all day long, and he never had any selfish motives in going through mountains and seas of fire. Back then, wasn't it precisely because of this that Bai Zhenshan named him Dingshan King and treated him as a brother
Thinking of this, Bai Zhenshan couldn't help but feel guilty. People are loyal, but he suppresses them in every possible way, which is really unkind. Even so, Xu Wenchuan could still think of him everywhere, which made Bai Zhenshan feel even more commendable.
When Bai Zhenshan thinks this way, some authorities are confused. Xu Wenchuan is not a person who does not miss old grudges. When he recommended Huan to succeed Xuanyou, he did so based on the facts. He thought Huan was a talent, but did he really have no selfish motives at all
Obviously not! Xu Wenchuan has selfish motives. To put it bluntly, he just gives a sweet date with a stick, and does not want to completely break up with Bai Zhenshan. Today I hit Bai Zhenshan three times in a row. If I don't give him some sweetness, Bai Zhenshan and the Xu family will really become incompatible.
No matter what, Bai Zhenshan was really grateful to Xu Wenchuan at this time. He looked up at the ministers and said, "My dear friends, what do you think?"
As Bai Zhenshan expected, all the ministers agreed with Xu Wenchuan's proposal. This situation happened for the fourth time today, but this time, Bai Zhenshan felt very comfortable.
With a wave of his hand, Bai Zhenshan said in a loud voice, "Okay! According to your wishes, from now on, I will make Huan a hussar general, and he will be responsible for the direct post of complimenting the capital!"
By the time the reward from Bai Zhenshan was completed, he already had mixed feelings in his heart.
After retreating from the court, Bai Zhenshan returned to Yangxin Hall, where Baidie was already waiting. Bai Die is just a princess now and cannot go to court at will yet, but the eunuchs on the left and right have already told her everything that happened in court today.
Baidie thought that today, Bai Zhenshan was probably depressed, so he waited at the Yangxin Hall in advance, ready to comfort him in time. But when she saw Bai Zhenshan slowly approaching, she was stunned for a moment. There was not much anger on Bai Zhenshan's face, but it was a bit complicated and very intriguing.
"Father, are you okay?" Bai Die hurriedly came up to meet him and asked.
"Huh?" Bai Zhenshan was stunned for a moment, then realized it and asked with a wry smile on his face, "Why, you already know?"
Baidie nodded and said, "The eunuchs serving in the Yizheng Palace have told me. I didn't expect that King Dingshan would be so fierce today, which is far beyond my imagination."
"Yes, it can be said that Xu Wenchuan went berserk one after another today. He Zhen was expelled from the Council Hall, Tang Xinyi was named a heroine, and Di Xiang took over as the commander of Fengxiang Guard. It can be said that your father and I lost three games in a row today, don't worry. Regardless of appearance, everything has been lost." Bai Zhenshan still felt frightened when he recalled the situation when he went up.
Bai Zhenshan was indeed frightened, but when he told all this, his tone was very calm and there was no hint of anger at all, which surprised Bai Die. It's just beyond imagination.
"Father, why do I feel that you are not angry at all?" Bai Die couldn't help but asked with doubts.
"Aren't you angry? Haha... Your father, my lungs are about to explode. But that was when we were in court. Now think about it calmly, you said Xu Wenchuan was so angry today, can you blame him? Isn't this all my fault? Was it forced by me? First, Wu Daozi was expelled from the capital, and later I beat Tang Xinyi out of the palace. These two people were very important to Xu Wenchuan. How could he not be angry? ?”
Hearing what Bai Zhenshan said, Baidie immediately opened her mouth in surprise. It's not that she and Tang Xinyi have never told Bai Zhenshan these words, but Bai Zhenshan couldn't listen to them at all. It's really surprising why he suddenly seemed to have a great enlightenment.
"Then Father, do you want to continue to check and balance the Xu family?" Baidie asked.
"Of course! Xu Wenchuan's performance in court today can be said to be consistent with the call of a hundred people. His prestige is even greater than that of my emperor. If I don't find a way to check and balance him, sooner or later our Bai family will have the surname Xu."
Baidie thought that Bai Zhenshan had suddenly woken up, but she didn't expect that it was not the case at all. Bai Zhenshan's next words made Bai Die's heart freeze, and his face was full of disappointment.
Perhaps seeing the disappointment on Bai Die's face, Bai Zhenshan laughed and said, "Silly girl, don't worry, even if dad wants to check and balance the Xu family, he will never be as reckless as before. You are right. , The Xu family has no intention of replacing our Bai family, otherwise Xu Wenchuan would not propose to let Huan take over Xuanyou's position in the end. If we continue as before, the Xu family will be forced to rebel by me. Xu Wenchuan is in court today. The fierce performance is a warning to me. However, we must not have the intention to harm others, and we must always be careful and balanced against the Xu family. "
When Bai Zhenshan said this, Bai Die's heart relaxed a little. In any case, the relationship between the Bai family and the Xu family should be somewhat eased due to Bai Zhenshan's change.
"By the way, if you have a chance, go and see Tang Xinyi. It is also an attitude of our royal family."
"Yeah! I understand, dad!" Baidie agreed to Bai Zhenshan's proposal happily and was very happy.
At the same time, at Dingshan Palace, Hu Jingqi said to Xu Wenchuan with a solemn face, "Old Prince, do you think our actions today can suppress the emperor?"
"Suppress the Emperor? Haha... Jingqi, you don't understand the Emperor very well. I think back then, when he was surrounded by a hundred thousand troops of the Iron War Dynasty with only a few dozen guards, he was never suppressed. How can we suppress him today?" Xu Wenchuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"Then what should I do? Isn't my work today in vain?" Hu Jingqi asked a little depressed.
"I can't work in vain, but I don't know what the emperor can understand from today's events. No matter what, today we have sought justice for that girl Xinyi. By the way, Xinyi was promoted Has the decree to be crowned a heroine been passed on?"
"Yes, I saw with my own eyes that the eunuch who delivered the order left the city!"
Xu Wenchuan laughed and said, "I wonder what kind of expression that girl will have when she receives the order. Haha..."
"What!? A heroine!?" When Tang Xinyi received the order at Dingshan Guard station, she was so stupid.
Luo Xiao, Hu Yue and others also looked at each other, feeling a little incredible.
The emperor demoted Tang Xinyi to a commoner yesterday and drove her out of the palace. Today, with great fanfare, he canonized Tang Xinyi as a heroine. What is this, a slap in the face? If you really want to slap yourself in the face, how can you do it so cruelly? It is simply self-abuse!
"Why are you still standing there, sister, take the order to thank me!" Wan Dong was not surprised at all. Although he didn't go to court, he could almost imagine the turbulent meeting in court today just by thinking about it.
"Ah! Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" At Wandong's reminder, Tang Xinyi finally came to her senses and hurriedly kowtowed to express gratitude. Thanks to Sun Daobai's superb medical skills, Tang Xinyi's stick injury improved greatly in just one day. Otherwise, she would not have suffered better than kneeling down to worship. (To be continued)
