Chapter 642 Showdown

This is the first time for Bai Changqing to deal with the legendary "Royal Family Disgrace", and he didn't expect his impressions to be pretty good.

Very funny, self-cultivated, understands tea, and is also very literate. Chatting is like meeting a confidant, which makes people feel very happy. Coupled with the rare good tea in the world and the elegant and quiet environment in the cup, it is simply a rare leisure time.

But Bai Changqing understands that it is impossible for a dignified prince to come here to make friends with him.

"I've already drank the tea. I don't know why Your Highness is looking for this minister?" Bai Changqing didn't beat around the bush, and directly brought the topic to the main topic. Now that several princes are showing their talents in the imperial city, they can often hear rumors, and there are not a few people who come to him. It's just that he pushed it away before.

Do you think King Ling came here to pull him into line? Bai Changqing secretly calculated in her heart.

Yang Shu also put down his teacup, and said with a smile, "I heard that Master Bai is unparalleled in tea art, so I want to come and experience it. By the way, I will also help Master Bai solve a difficult problem."

"Oh? I don't know if I have any problems to trouble His Highness?" The Spirit King in front of him is not a "royal disgrace", and the rumors are completely wrong. Bai Changqing had to cheer up and deal with it seriously.

"Aren't you clear? It's the problem between you and Prime Minister Bai, Mr. Bai. I can help you."

Bai Changqing was startled, but with a calm smile on his face, he shook his head and said, "I don't really understand what Your Highness said. Prime Minister Zuo is the peak of the minister, and he always treats ministers preferentially. Where is the problem?"

Yang Shu leaned back in his chair, relaxed, and continued to smile, "Isn't there? I heard that Prime Minister Zuo is secretly conspiring to appeal to his father to reject the decision to tighten money and grain, plan to divert power. I don't know if Mr. Bai knows about this matter." thing?"

Before Bai Changqing could speak, Yang Shu went on to say: "Even if Lord Bai doesn't know, it's okay, I can tell you that Prime Minister Zuo is planning this idea, and he is going to connect five temples together tomorrow, that is, when the court meeting is held." civil servants together to advise."

These news are not fake, it is what Yang Shu got from Yueyinglou these days, and it is highly credible.

Bai Changqing frowned slightly upon hearing this, but still did not speak.

"Hehe, Lord Bai doesn't need to be like this. Just now you had a very happy conversation with this king, and this king has the feeling of meeting a confidant, so I won't beat around the bush with you."

After a pause, Yang Shu went on to say: "What is the meaning of your father keeping the "money and food austerity strategy" that you sorted out, Mr. Bai? You should know it well, right? Now this is a "big test" for me." A generous gift from the former emperor is also the key to victory. If the left minister wants to obstruct it, he will oppose me.

Perhaps this king is weak and not in the eyes of Prime Minister Zuo, and even Prime Minister Zuo deliberately contacted the two royal brothers of this king in private, presumably to use his strength to change the intention of his father. This is very annoying.

But why? Why does the left minister want to do such a thankless thing? Is it good for him to confront the king? Or he has already stood in the team of my brother? "

As he said that, Yang Shu shook his head self-consciously, overturning his guesses just now.

"Master Bai should know Prime Minister Zuo's plan, right? Otherwise, Lord Bai would not deliberately alienate Prime Minister Zuo. This is different from the harmonious relationship between you and Prime Minister Zuo that you just said."

Having said that, Yang Shu stopped talking, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked at Bai Changqing in front of him with a smile.

"Why does Your Highness think that the minister is avoiding the prime minister?"

Yang Shu took a sip of tea and shook his head: "Master Bai, why don't you be honest? Or are you worried that the king is trying to trick you? In fact, there is no need. Ye Lansheng has a lot of selfish desires. When he was in power, he was covered by his prestige. Now When a civil official falls into a weak position, his inferiority is undoubtedly exposed.

You choose to avoid him, honestly, wisely. "

Bai Changqing squinted her eyes, put away her previous indifferent expression, and asked, "Bad roots? Why did Your Highness say that?"

"Hmph, Ye Lansheng is obsessed with power and doesn't want to give up, even if he bets on the battle of national fortune, he is a great thief for the country. Lord Bai's reluctance to join forces is naturally the loyalty of the country."

"Your Highness, this is"

Yang Shu waved his hand and interrupted: "Ye Lansheng seems to want to make an admonition to change the money and food austerity strategy and move the power to other places, but in fact he just wants the civil servants to continue to hold this huge power, and then use this power to hinder the military affairs in the south , So as to drag down the frontier army and let the frontier army get into trouble and finally retreat to the Kundalhuo Pass, so he has an excuse to come up with the strategy of "peace talks" again to gain the right to speak and authority.

Am I right? "

Yang Shu's expression was gloomy and serious at this time, and Bai Changqing didn't know how to answer for a moment because of his majesty. Because Yang Shu really told all about the things hidden in his heart.

Indeed, it was for this reason that Bai Changqing bit the bullet and chose to avoid Ye Lansheng. But he didn't expect that Ling Wang would tell the truth.

There is no point in pretending to be stupid anymore.

Bai Changqing also poured herself a cup of tea, but she didn't drink it, she just put it in front of her and smelled it. After being silent for a long time, he said: "Bai Changqing's background is fairly standard, and his family has enjoyed the royal family's salary for several generations. Outside the ancestral hall in the ancestral land, there is an inscription in recognition of my Bai family's achievements. Seven members of the family have sacrificed their lives for the country, and it has been passed down to six. Generation. Two generations are martial arts, and four generations are literature.

Such kindness is engraved in the heart of the Bai family and dare not be forgotten. But the world is full of turmoil, state affairs and family affairs are always turbulent and charming. Although Bai Changqing has lived for decades, he still can't help taking care of himself, but he can't avoid it without daring to turn his eyebrows coldly, he is ashamed of the emperor's kindness, really ashamed."

Yang Shu could hear it clearly, and knew that Bai Changqing was avoiding the most important things, so he interrupted directly: "Master Bai, if I have something to say, you'd better say it too.

Although Ye Lansheng's plan is insidious, it is impossible for him to succeed. No one, no one can make any emperor of the Yang family make concessions or change the strategy of the "big test" on the issue of the royal "big test". This is the iron rule of the royal family, not to mention Ye Lansheng and those poor people connected by him, even if the kundaliya pass is broken, they can't disrupt the pace of the "big exam".

Therefore, it is impossible for Ye Lansheng to succeed. And Mr. Bai, you will also be regarded as a punching bag for failure by Ye Lansheng. One side is Father Emperor Tianwei, and the other side is Ye Lansheng's anger, whichever you choose is wrong.

It's better to jump out of this circle and choose a new path, maybe the way out can be broader. "After speaking, Yang Shu raised his teacup and motioned to Bai Changqing, and seemed to drank it all in one gulp instead of wine.

Bai Changqing didn't drink the tea in his hand, but asked, "Your Highness wants to recruit me?"

"Didn't Master Bai say "the torrent of things in the world"? Since you often can't help yourself, why don't you change your way of life? Or is it that Master Bai feels that the king is too helpless?"

Can't bear to help? If it were before today, Bai Changqing would agree with this statement. But right now, the Seventh Prince is afraid that he has fooled everyone into misery early on.
