Chapter 644

Bai Changqing's stern face was filled with a smile after returning home.

I don't know why, every time Bai Changqing thought of the surprised expression when he heard his "can" in the Manchu Dynasty in the Wanmin Palace, he wanted to laugh, especially Ye Lansheng who suddenly turned his head and looked unbelievable.

"Hehe." It was the first time in many years that Bai Changqing saw Ye Lansheng's shocked expression on his face, and he couldn't help laughing out loud thinking about it.

"My lord, what are you so happy about?"

"You guys don't understand the things in the temple. By the way, can we have wine tonight, and drink with me today?" Bai Changqing's depressed troubles in his heart are gone now, and he is in a good mood, holding each hand in his arms softly , Smiling very comfortably.

But Bai Changqing didn't know that he was happily teasing with his two wives, drinking, and enjoying the blessings of being equal to everyone, but the next day, how much wine he drank at night and what he said would be rewarded with copper bars. The form ran in front of Heishui in Fengri City, and after being analyzed, it would be reported to the desk of Jiang Cheng, the governor of Jingxi.

After Jiang Cheng got the news, he looked at it, without hesitation, turned around and went to the Commander's Yamen to hand it over to Pang Ban face to face.

The information is very simple, but the comprehensive conclusions have an important role in side confirmation.

For example, Bai Changqing was in a good mood yesterday and drank at home as if celebrating.

This piece of information does not require any professional analysis. Combined with Bai Changqing's actions at the Great Court Meeting that day, one can immediately draw a conclusion: Bai Changqing did indeed choose to stand in the opposite position with Ye Lansheng after careful consideration, and did not give up at all. There was no "forced worry" because of offending Ye Lansheng.

Pang Ban put down the copper bar, took a sip from the teacup on the table, and said with a smile: "It seems that Bai Changqing has found a good new home, so it's only natural to be happy."

"My lord, Bai Changqing is going to follow the Lingwang? The power of the Lingwang will be very different!" Jiang Cheng is also paying attention to the changes in the imperial city during this period. Although he cannot enter the temple, but because of the black The relationship between water makes him know much more than people of the same level. So I feel that the wind direction has changed too fast in this short period of time.

At the very beginning, Jiang Chengcheng ranked the power of the seven princes in private. This matter looks very complicated, but you can find the law after a little contact with it: time.

The age of the seven princes is equal to the power they have now, that is to say, the older they are, the more powerful they become, and the closer the age of the two brothers, the closer the power will be. The same rule, the farther the age difference, the greater the power gap. And this rule was not discovered by Jiang Chengcai, but it has long become a consensus, or "common sense" in the upper circles of the imperial city.

In fact, this is also very understandable. As far as the prince is concerned, the forces that can be blatantly possessed and contacted are actually limited. There was only so much rice in the pot, whoever started eating first would naturally eat more, and the Seventh Prince who served the bowl later would naturally only have to deal with leftovers.

This is also the most fundamental reason why most people think that the Seventh Prince is the weakest. Because there is nothing left in the pot, what can I get to eat?

So it's no wonder that the "very hungry" Lingwang stretched out his hands to those low-level merchants and emerging nobles. Can these people be considered powerful? If it was in the past, Jiang Cheng would shake his head without hesitation and say: Merchants, new nobles, these people either have no authority or no background, and relying on luck to get to the top is not stable at all. Bullying ordinary people may be harmful, but when encountering real power, there is no advantage. It's different from hitting a stone with an egg and there is no chance of winning.

However, this idea has undergone a huge change following Jiang Cheng's detailed analysis and intelligence support in Heishui this time.

Pang Ban was still smiling, but his words were already clear: "It's different? It's really different. But the strong is always strong, don't you think that King Ling has always been a weak person? Holding something like black water, the concept should change."

"The subordinates really have to change their minds. I never thought that those who are not popular can have such a strong influence and potential. Now it seems that King Ling has taken the lead?"

"There is a torrent of things in the world, if you don't advance, you will retreat. The iron-clad Jing old dynasty, who is not the rest? The intertwined roots can indeed create a strong and long-lasting force. It seems to be able to take care of all aspects, but the country is stable, and the big forces cannot be eradicated by cutting the grass. The means to contain emerging forces can only be suppressed to a limited extent, and over time, a situation of "weeds everywhere" will naturally appear.

Those "weeds" are disordered and no one cares about them, but they are everywhere. Once there is a strong enough pusher, these weeds can quickly rely on the past and harden together. At that time, many people will pay attention to it.

However, weeds are still just weeds after all, lacking the ability to become a pillar, and there is still a bone missing if they want to support a big force. "

Jiang Cheng was a little stunned when he heard Pang Ban's words, and said in surprise: "You mean that His Majesty has also seen these things clearly?"

"Your Majesty has seen far more things than you and I thought. He also paid more attention to the "big exam" of the royal family than we imagined. Therefore, some people's self-righteous behavior can only lead to their own death."

Pang Ban's last sentence was categorical, but he didn't mean to continue to explain it to Jiang Cheng. Whether he understood it or not depended on Jiang Cheng's own comprehension.

But there's nothing wrong with guessing. Now who is "self-righteous" in the temple, isn't it the one who secretly colluded with the "money and food crunch" issue and was rebuked by Bai Changqing yesterday when he was admonished by the court, the left minister Ye Lansheng.

"You're saying you're the one with him."

Pang Ban smiled and interrupted: "Okay, since Bai Changqing is now with the Seventh Prince, then on the surface, you should stop having any contact with him, and Heishui should pay more attention not to leak information. Believe it King Ling will send someone to help Bai Changqing sort out the people around him, and those two spies must not be exposed.

In addition, how are you doing with Liao Chengfeng? "

Jiang Cheng has long been accustomed to Pang Ban's jumpy speaking style, so he quickly put away his thoughts and replied: "My lord, my subordinates have already filed a case according to your instructions, and are currently conducting surveillance and secretly arresting some major minor figures. The time to mobilize Liao Chengfeng will be reached within five days at the latest."

Pang Ban nodded to express his satisfaction, and said: "Liao Chengfeng's cultivation base is not low, and there are many personal guards around him, and he has acquaintance with the third prince, and he has a background of Xiu clan, so there are variables. You can't treat him as an ordinary case. , need to be more careful. In addition to the top of the dossier must be solid, and when apprehended, it must be hit with one blow and must not be procrastinated, understand?"

"The subordinate understands."
