Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 636: In the ups and downs of the officialdom, what kind of person can ride the waves?

Bai Mingwei straightened his back and stood silently in front of his grandfather.

She is still wearing armor, with a straight and graceful body, a calm and majestic demeanor, and the blood that lingers all over her body is the blood that has been accumulated through life and death.

He is as powerful and unyielding as any man, and has the air of a general who will not give in to women.

Bai Weiyong looked at his granddaughter who was very different from what he remembered, feeling both relieved and distressed.

Finally, he said seriously: "Mingwei, now is not the time to retire after success. The Bai family doesn't want this glory. There is no need for you to honor the ancestors and maintain the family's reputation."

"From this aspect, grandpa has no requirements for you. Grandpa only hopes that you will be safe and happy and live a happy life."

"but……"

Bai Weiyong stood up slowly, reached out and patted Bai Mingwei's shoulder.

"But this is a troubled world where people are not human beings. If you want to gain a foothold in troubled times, you must have something to rely on."

"The power in your hands and the power under your command are what keep you from being ravaged by disasters soon. They are what enable you to live well and help others to the best of your ability."

"From this aspect, my grandfather hopes that you can occupy a place in the government, hold on to everything you have in your hands, and let them play a better role."

"However……"

Having said this, Bai Weiyong stared at Bai Mingwei, with some tears in his eyes.

"However, my grandfather has lost too many loved ones. Now he only hopes that his lovely granddaughter can live the life she wants. So no matter what you choose, my grandfather will support you."

Bai Ming felt a slight soreness in his nose when he heard this.

The hardships she had endured over the past few months and the pressure she had endured in her heart almost made her breathless.

For her family and for everything she loves, she has been gritting her teeth and persevering.

She went from the girl who burst into tears in front of her grandfather when she received the battle report, to where she is today with one sword and one sword.

She couldn't describe the hardships.

At this moment, facing her grandfather's sincere words, she almost couldn't hold back for a moment.

But in the end, she suppressed the turmoil in her heart and knelt down solemnly in front of her grandfather: "How can the eggs be completed when the nest is overturned? Mingwei has made a choice."

As she spoke, she raised her head, her eyes firm.

"Mingwei is willing to inherit his grandfather's ambition and do his best to save the lives of the people and bring peace to the world! Mingwei is willing to serve as a sharp edge and create a peaceful and prosperous world for the people who have been tortured by the smoke and war."

This choice was of her own free will, without any other reason.

First of all, my grandfather has retreated behind the scenes, far away from the center of power. The emperor wants to get rid of the Bai family. Without the [-] soldiers on the border, it will be a matter of time before the Bai family is uprooted.

Of course, he believed in Seventh Brother's ability. With Seventh Brother here, maybe this family could avoid such an ending, but how could she bear the heart to let Seventh Brother support it alone?
Secondly, the [-] soldiers on the frontier were all brothers who had gone through life and death with her, and they were staunch warriors.

If the military power falls into the hands of others, these brothers will only become bargaining chips for power and profit to satisfy their ambitions. How can she not be responsible for them?

Thirdly, the peace and beauty of Tushi Village are always vivid in her mind. Perhaps she just wanted to inherit her grandfather's will and clear the name of her father, uncle and brother.

But now, she hopes to do her best to make more places in the world as peaceful and peaceful as the Hermitage Village.

Maybe one day she will be relieved of all the burdens and responsibilities, but definitely not now.

As her grandfather said, no matter what she wants to do, she can't do it without relying on others.

No matter what the reason was, now she had to stand firm in this treacherous court.

Upon hearing this answer, Bai Weiyong did not show any joy on his face.It should be a happy thing for him to have a successor.

But in the end, he also felt sorry for his granddaughter to follow his old path.

Finally, he helped Bai Mingwei up and explained seriously: "Mingwei, the official world is ups and downs. In this year of war and chaos, being an official and being a human are completely different."

"There are many people who cannot be officials, or who cannot be good officials. For example, good people, honest people, people who are too knowledgeable, people who are too smart, people with conscience, people who are extremely courageous, and people who are impatient, These people can’t walk far from the court.”

"Because there are many storms and waves in this officialdom, especially in troubled times. Some people will sink and some will float, but some people will definitely be screened out first. They are the categories that my grandfather just mentioned. people."

After a pause, Bai Weiyong continued:

"The figures who stand tall in the court today may be of different shapes and colors, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they know how to move forward in this ocean."

"They are full of energy and intelligence, know how to work hard, and even have a bit of cruelty and black heart. It is something that cannot be learned in the books of these sages, which makes them ride the wind and waves and become prosperous."

"It is clear that these are troubled times, but why did the military generals in both the government and the public weaken and become appendages of the civilian officials, or even at the mercy of the civilian officials?"

At this point, he sighed: "It's because military generals have an iron-blooded heart and are good people with conscience and passion."

"My grandfather knows that you have the talent to command soldiers, but war in the court is different from that on the battlefield. My grandfather hopes that you can maintain your original intention, but at the same time, you must also have a certain cruelty and black heart."

"Don't be too honest, don't be too impatient, don't be in a hurry to achieve something, don't be too eager to make progress, and don't be too conscientious. You have to remember that you are a good person, but don't be afraid of being a bad person."

Bai Mingwei listened attentively, and finally nodded solemnly: "Grandpa, Mingwei took note of it."

Bai Weiyong nodded with pleasure: "You are a smart boy. My grandfather's words may be superfluous to you, but the world is not easy for women, let alone a court where there are only men? Don't forget, my grandfather wants you to be safe. , I hope everyone in this family is safe."

Bai Mingwei naturally understood his grandfather's painstaking efforts.

How can being an official be as easy as fighting a war?It's not just about hitting hard.

There are many ways to be an official.

Especially since her opponent is a traitor like Jin Shang and Qin Fengye, another kind of war belonging to her is about to begin.

She knew that she would be walking on thin ice in the future, but she was not without reliance. The one hundred thousand soldiers who could straighten her back were the ambitions and ideals she kept in her heart.

She can do anything a man can do.

What a man cannot do, she may not be able to do.

She gave herself enough confidence.

So, she nodded again: "Grandpa, Mingwei understands."

Bai Weiyong nodded: "The same goes for Xiao Qi."

Bai Yu responded seriously: "Grandpa, my grandson understands."

Bai Weiyong said: "Tomorrow, grandpa will wait for your good news. Let's go have a good meal first and then have a good sleep. When you come back, grandpa would like to hear about your recent experiences."

Bai Mingwei and Bai Yu saluted at the same time: "Yes, grandfather."

Bai Weiyong smiled kindly: "Go, good boy."

The brother and sister looked at each other and then backed away.

Tomorrow will be extremely thrilling, but whether it is to rectify the names of my father, uncle, brother and the soldiers of Yinshan, or to rise to the top of the court.

They will win and they must win!
