Chapter 371: The Foundation of the Clan
Chapter 371: The Foundation of the Clan
Could it be... as the rumors say, the crown prince really likes Princess Zhen Guo and plans to make Princess Zhen Guo his queen in the future?
Seeing that the prefect had already stepped forward, Mr. Zhou didn't dare to think too much and hurriedly stepped forward, the patriarch led the people to follow.
Seeing that Bai Qingyan got off the carriage, the prefect and Master Zhou hurried forward to salute: "I have met Princess Zhen Guo."
"My lords, you don't need to be too polite." Bai Qingyan introduced Quan Yu to the prefect and Lord Zhou, "This... is the father-in-law of the prince."
The prefect and Mr. Zhou hurriedly saluted.
"My lords, you are being polite. I am just a servant by the prince's side. His highness heard that the elders of the Bai clan forced his highness's aunt and grandmother to vomit blood. He is worried that the princess of the country who is like his own sister... will deal with it. There is no man to order the Bai family's affairs, and they are bullied by relying on the old and selling the old, so I have two teams of guards from the Prince's Mansion to follow the princess' orders." Quan Yu said to the two adults with a smile.
When the patriarch heard this, his legs were about to go limp, and his eyes fell on the more than one hundred guards of the prince's mansion, his face was pale.
Master Zhou frowned, like his own sister...
That is to say, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's relationship with Zhen Guojun is not an affair between a man and a woman.
If it is not an affair between a man and a woman, but they are willing to help each other in this way, they either rely heavily on this person, or they trust this person very much.
No matter which one it is, Mr. Zhou must not neglect Bai Qingyan.
"I'm wronged!" A clan elder hurriedly shouted, "We didn't force the eldest princess to vomit blood! That's the eldest princess..."
The patriarch quickly grabbed the patriarch's hand to prevent him from continuing.
Going on, it would be accusing the Eldest Princess, after all, no one would believe... The Eldest Princess would vomit blood for a small clan drama.
"I have met the princess, I have seen the adults!" The patriarch hurriedly saluted Bai Qingyan and Quan Yu, with a smile on his face, "Why didn't you notify the princess when she came home? The old man should bring the clan to prepare well and come early to welcome the county." The lord and the lord of the Prince's Mansion..."
Bai Qingyan didn't answer, just looked at Master Zhou and asked: "I heard that after I left last time, the descendants of the Bai family made trouble, threw a young girl into the river, killed the mother of the young girl, and clamored for Master Zhou to take them away. Catch them all in, did Master Zhou catch them?"
"I caught it! Don't worry, the princess, the princess will be punished severely according to the law, and the officials will not forget it!" Master Zhou hurriedly said.
Bai Qingyan nodded, glanced at the members of the Bai clan with cold and indifferent eyes, and asked the patriarch: "Go to the government office to tell Mr. Zhou, and Bai Qingping, who has settled the young girl, is here today?"
The patriarch did not dare to say that Bai Qingping was imprisoned in the ancestral hall by him, and he is still kneeling to this day.
The patriarch also had no choice. Bai Qingping was his own grandson, but Bai Qingping had no way to appease the anger of the clan.
"At home, at home..." The patriarch lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Bai Qingyan's dark and gloomy eyes.
Bai Qingyan took a deep look at the patriarch, and then asked Mr. Zhou: "Which descendants of the Bai clan... have done something that harmed the people, these days... Mr. Zhou has verified everything properly, and has evidence?"
The county magistrate Zhou was sweating on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "Go back to the princess, I just checked everything yesterday, and I originally wanted to wait for today to send it together!"
"Okay, at noon today... I will ask the patriarch to gather the clansmen to open the ancestral hall." Bai Qing said, looking at the magistrate Zhou, "Please trouble Master Zhou to send all the descendants of the Bai clan in prison to the ancestral hall of the Bai family, and tell the sufferers... ...Come to Bai's Ancestral Hall."
"Does Master Zhou want to release the descendants of our clan? But why do you want the bitter master to go to our Bai clan's ancestral hall?" A member of the Bai clan lowered his voice and asked the people around him.
"My lord, the ancestral hall cannot be easily opened for non-important festivals and important events." The patriarch tentatively tried.
Bai Qingyan sneered when he heard the words, and looked at the patriarch with a half-smile, "Today, someone from the Bai clan will either be expelled, or most of the Bai family will accuse their ancestors of leaving the clan. Is it a big deal?"
The patriarch's face was pale, and the clansmen were full of panic.
"Could it be that the princess wants to enter the ancestral hall?" Bai Qiyun frowned, not daring to look at Bai Qing's words, but said to the patriarch, "Father, women have not been allowed to enter the ancestral hall since ancient times."
The patriarch raised his head and looked carefully at Bai Qingyan.
Bai Jinzhi gritted her teeth, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Bai Qingyan, whose face was as calm as water.
Unexpectedly by the patriarch, Bai Qingyan nodded without being angry or annoyed, and his tone was calm, with a condescending taste: "That's okay, most of my Bai family now has only orphans and widows, since they are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall That’s fine, I’ll trouble Eunuch Quan Yu, the prefect, and County Magistrate Zhou to be witnesses, Bai Qing said that today, he can only offer a confession to his ancestors, and leave the clan with most of the Bai family to set up his own family.”
"Princess, don't be upset. Since ancient times, women have not been allowed to enter the ancestral hall. The reason for this is that in our country of Jin, the male ruler is outside the female ruler. The ancestral hall is a place for the family to discuss important matters. Women and Taoists only care about the one-acre and three-thirds of the land in front of them, so it is difficult for the overall situation. This is why there is a saying that women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. But the princess is a descendant of my Bai family's original surname, and has the ability to lead the army. Those who can lead the army and commander must be able to plan for the overall situation, so the princess can enter the ancestral hall of."
Bai Jinzhi raised his eyebrows and sneered when he heard the patriarch's words that he was not in a hurry.
The patriarch has already said so, how dare the patriarch and fellow clansmen say anything?
"That's it, the patriarch should go back and prepare. I still have something to do. I'll go straight to the ancestral hall after finishing it." Bai Qingyan didn't give the patriarch a chance to speak, and called, "Shen Qingzhu..."
"The subordinate is here!" Shen Qingzhu stepped forward and clasped his fists.
"You take people, accompany Xiao Si and Eunuch Quan Yu, go to the government office first with Lord Zhou, bring all the files, and rush to Bai's ancestral hall at noon." Bai Qing said.
Bai Jinzhi stepped forward and responded, "Yes!"
The patriarch and the clan saw Bai Qingyan got into the carriage again, and Bai Jinzhi also went to the government office with Master Zhou and his party, everyone rushed to the patriarch in panic, asking questions in one go.
"Patriarch, what does the princess mean? Do you still want to deal with our clan's heirs?"
"Is it true that the children are all expelled from the clan? But the children are the foundation of the clan! The children are all expelled from the clan, and only old things like us are left. What will the clan do in the future? Is it possible that he can expect most of the women from the Bai family?" ?”
The clan members nodded one after another, and even the clan elder stepped forward and said solemnly: "Patriarch, if a woman enters the ancestral hall, our entire clan will suffer bad luck! Don't let her enter the ancestral hall!"
The patriarch's face was ashen, and he slammed the ground with his cane: "Okay! Stop arguing! Don't let her enter the ancestral hall... Now our clan is going to be in bad luck! Let's go back and prepare first!"
Bai Qingyan brought ten guards of the Bai family and ten guards of the Prince's Mansion, and went straight into the city to pick up the mute.
The first bird! There are still two more, I suggest that the babies watch it in the morning, because it is very likely that they will not be able to catch up with the update T-T for a while, and the fever and cold have not recovered, and they start to cough again.
