Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1246: This matter involves many things
In the silence, the candlelight illuminated Liu Yao's cheek half-darkly.

He still had no words.

After a long silence, his heart broke out in cold sweat, and his body trembled even more violently.

"This subordinate deserves to be punished, Your Highness."

Liu Yao did not get angry, nor did he let his confidant's words influence his mood.

He said: "Bai Xiang is a veteran of the three dynasties. Do you know why he is deeply trusted by Emperor Hui and the late emperor?"

The confidants were puzzled as to why His Highness suddenly mentioned Bai Xiang.

He tried to answer: "It's because of what Xiang Bai did. In the past few decades, everyone in the world has witnessed it."

Liu Yao shook his head gently: "When Emperor Hui was there, Bai Xiang was still young. At that time, he was loyal to the emperor and served the country in order to repay the kindness he had given him. When the late emperor was there, Bai Xiang was already getting older. At that time, he and the late emperor had a younger brother. Camaraderie.”

After a pause, Liu Yao sighed: "Everyone thought that he left the scene sadly because of his great achievements."

"But have you ever thought that whether it is young Bai Xiang, Bai Xiang in his prime, or old Bai Xiang, his original intention has never changed?"

"What has changed is the definition of what he does by the people he supports." Liu Yao's voice was a little ethereal, as if he was talking about an unreal past.

"Emperor Hui considered him a young hero and gave him the opportunity to display his ambitions; the late Emperor trusted him with unwavering loyalty and gave him a place to display his talents."

"For decades, through the ups and downs, he was not ashamed of Dongling. But later, he ended up in a miserable end, just because his father felt that he had great achievements."

"If my father's definition of him has not changed, then this old man will definitely work hard for Dongling to the last drop, and then die with a clear conscience."

The confidant was very puzzled.

He frowned and thought about his master's words.

Finally, he bowed deeply and said, "Your Highness, I don't understand."

Liu Yao explained unhurriedly: "I say this because I want to tell you that whether the general will be so powerful that he can dominate the throne is just our wishful thinking."

"Everything should be based on facts, based on facts, and seek truth from facts; instead of judging what a person will be like in the future because of certain possibilities."

"At this moment, the king trusts the general. The general has never been ashamed of the king. This is true; and everything the general does is the basis for the king to trust her."

Throughout the past dynasties, the founding heroes and ministers who followed the dragon almost never ended well.

Did they really die from Gaizhu?

No, they died of their master's suspicion and fear.

It's the people they support who think they are a threat and can't wait to eradicate them.

These things were taught by the Master a long, long time ago.

He didn't understand it at that time, but now he slowly realizes it.

He didn't know whether he would be swayed by suspicion and suspicion in the future and commit the stupid things that almost every person in power would commit.

At least he's awake now, not yet.

Although Liu Yao was very calm during the whole process.

He even spoke softly and showed no anger at all.

The confidant was still lying on the ground and did not dare to stand up: "I will teach you."

Liu Yaofu picked up the pen again and said in a casual tone:

"Don't be suspicious of those you employ, and don't be suspicious of those you doubt. I know that you are devoted to me, so I won't argue with you this time."

"But I have broken down the truth with you and explained it to you. If you still can't understand it and become confused in the future, I will never give you mercy. Do you understand?"

The confidant responded solemnly: "Yes, I will obey your orders!"

Liu Yao waved his hand: "Go down."

The confidant withdrew respectfully.

Liu Yao continued to handle the official documents as if nothing had happened, without showing any thought. Meng Ziang raised his lips and smiled, and then continued to think about his own important matters.

As for Ah Liu, who was always following him without being noticed, he slightly raised the corners of his lips.

the other side.

The guard worriedly talked to Cheng Bi who was left behind: "If the eldest girl goes out without her sister, will it be in danger?"

Cheng Bi didn't answer, but said quietly: "Don't interfere with the master's affairs; you don't have to say whether the master's decision is feasible or not. No matter what you care about, you should keep it in your heart."

The guard lowered his head.

……

"There is another reason for the corruption in Jiangbei?"

In a residential house in the small town, Bai Mingwei stood in front of Ling and asked.

She came alone, not just because she was looking for a ship.

He even knew that Zero was nearby, so he came to meet him.

Nowadays, the more secretive Zero's actions are, the better. If there is nothing particularly important, you should not come into contact with Zero near His Highness Ninth Prince.

Hearing this, Ling responded to Bai Mingwei's question: "The girl is so perceptive. There are indeed some problems. Because her opponent is quite secretive, it is difficult to see it."

Bai Mingwei asked: "Tell me about the news you found."

Zero 1510 said: "Businessmen have the opportunity to become officials. This strategy is quite attractive. Now Jiangbei is in trouble for food and medicinal materials. Many businessmen are trying to hoard food, and the price of food has increased."

"Under the trend of profit, many people have abused their power and embezzled the life-saving food and medicine for the victims. The trend of corruption has become more and more intense and is out of control."

"Of course, these are just superficial phenomena. In fact, some merchants deliberately controlled the prices of food and medicinal materials, which led to the severe corruption situation later."

Bai Ming's lips curled up in a cold arc: "When I received the news, I felt a little strange. The level of corruption this time was more serious than when disasters occurred in various places in the past, and it developed quite quickly, which was a bit strange. "

"Now that I hear what you say, everything has a reasonable explanation. And the whole thing is directed at the businessman's move to become an official."

"Once it is allowed to develop and the riots that have just been suppressed are reignited, the already displaced victims will surely suffer countless deaths and injuries due to the turmoil and hunger, and the consequences will be disastrous."

"Whether it was me who proposed this move, His Highness the Ninth Prince who agreed to this strategy, or Prince Yu who didn't stop it, everyone will be implicated."

Ling nodded: "Girl, that's exactly what it is. I'd like to make a bold guess that this is the other party's purpose."

Bai Mingwei asked: "You appeared here, but you followed the clues?"

Ling nodded, with a look of respect on his face: "Yes, girl."

Bai Ming's long eyelashes trembled, and he asked again: "Can we find out the power behind these businessmen, is it Yuan Wu, or the prince and Qin Fengye?"

Zero answered truthfully: "It has not been determined yet, several forces are possible. And other possibilities are not ruled out."

Bai Ming was silent for a moment, and then said: "Do you think it may be because businessmen entering official positions have violated the interests of the powerful, so they have been privately boycotted by the powerful?"

"Or is it that there are also some forces further away, taking this appalling move of a businessman becoming an official as an opportunity to stop the Jiangbei disaster relief operation?"

Zero-one analysis: "For Beiyan Yuanxun, destroying the girl's mission will make the girl punished by the emperor. In this way, the girl can only be forced to revolt in order to protect herself."

"As far as the Crown Prince and Qin Fengye are concerned, the girl and the Ninth Prince cannot complete the task and will definitely be punished. They can take this opportunity to remove the thorn in their side."

"For the powerful and powerful, such measures that challenge their interests can be nipped in the bud, so that they can seize the interests at hand in the future."

"As for other forces, whether it is Western Chu or Southern Qi, obstructing disaster relief can drag down Dongling. This will be beneficial to them without any harm. But..."

Bai Mingwei asked: "But what? But it doesn't matter."

Ling looked solemn: "My subordinates are worried that this matter is not only for the girl and the Ninth Prince, but also for Dongling, and also for the master."

Bai Mingwei understood his words instantly, and his heart sank.
