Chapter 729
Even if you don't look at Li Mingrui, the servant of the household department, this left minister Li Mao is an important minister of the court... There are so many disciples, and even a slight influence affects the whole body.
Bai Qing once said that it would be fine to break the legs of Li Mao's youngest son, or to send the heads of Li Mao's subordinates to the gate of Li's mansion, but it was just to frighten Li Mao. No change.
But Li Mao's eldest son, Li Mingrui, is probably a person who doesn't like to be held in the palm of his hand. He also thinks that...he can be as ruthless as Du Zhiwei, and can play with people's hearts in applause, so he chose Such a setup.
He probably felt that she, Bai Qing, ordered him to rescue Wang Qiulu, and he sent someone to tell her that Wang Qiulu had close contacts with Prince Liang's mansion. At that time, Wang Qiulu would be sent to the prince, at least with her. It can keep the Li family out of the matter.
In the future, if someone learns that the Bai family holds letters from Li Mao and the second prince but does not hand them in to the prince, and guesses that Bai Qingyan intends to use these letters to coerce the left Prime Minister Li Mao and the Li family, she can also call her collection of these letters a crime. For the sake of the prince, with the foundation of today's events, the prince will have no doubts in the Bai family.
Bai Qingyan turned her head to look at Bai Jinxiu and said, "Tonight, the Crown Princess is giving birth, and the imperial physicians must be serving at the Prince's Mansion. You go out from the corner gate...go to the Prince's Mansion yourself, and tell me that my condition is not good. I beg His Royal Highness to appoint an imperial physician. To come to the White Mansion, the best... is to let the father-in-law next to the prince come to our mansion in person, so that he can get a personal ID."
Bai Qingyan smiled lowly: "Then...you take someone to the Prince's Mansion to make a statement, and remember to show your loyalty to Eldest Sister!"
Bai Jinxiu stood up and saluted, her voice was solemn: "Eldest sister, don't worry, Jinxiu will definitely settle this matter, and I will go to the Prince's Mansion right away!"
Bai Jinxiu could do things, but she just felt sorry for her elder sister, and rushed to the capital city day and night, and there were so many things waiting for her elder sister just now...

The Anyang Hall is brightly lit, and the plain white veil hanging from the beams of the hall is slightly swaying. In the three-foot-high gilded Boshan incense burner in the center of the hall, the lit ambergris turns into wisps of light smoke, and the delicate fragrance is lingering. The old emperor had just taken the elixir, his long hair was loose, and he was lying on the soft couch in a snow-white tunic, looking like he was going to become a fairy.
However, the candlelight of the thirty-six copper lotus lanterns was too bright, reflecting the emperor's already wrinkled forehead, and a few brown age spots were looming.
Hearing that the emperor's grandson was coming, the emperor's brows had not had time to reveal the joy, but he thought of the baby in the womb that the empress had taken away, and his face sank again.
The emperor was silent for a moment, looked at the prince who was kneeling in the center of the hall, and said slowly: "The emperor's grandson will give the name...Ji, I hope he will grow up in the future, and he can take the country as the most important thing! He can afford the ancestors to leave behind This family business!"
It is a great honor for the prince to be given a name right after he was born, not to mention what the emperor said... It seems that he wants the emperor's grandson to be the heir in the future, which greatly stabilizes the prince's position.
The prince hurriedly kowtowed to His Majesty: "Thank you, Father, for giving me the name!"
Before the crown prince could continue to share with the emperor the joy of having a son-in-law, he heard the emperor ask: "How is the progress of Jiuchongtai? I heard... Now the national treasury is getting tighter, the war in Daliang, and the epidemic in the two cities are becoming more and more serious. If this goes on like this, the courtiers are afraid that they will ask Zuo to stop the construction of the Nine Layers Terrace, so there is no other way for the Crown Prince?"
It was as if the prince had been poured with a basin of cold water, and the joy of having a son just now was replaced by anxiety, like a young man who was afraid of his father's power.
He hurriedly said: "Going back to my father, the doctor Hong at Princess Zhenguo's mansion has developed a prescription to treat the epidemic, my son... my son has sent people to the two cities of Huayang and Qinhuai. You can control it! Father, don't worry...my son...my son..."
The crown prince panicked, a flash of light flashed in his mind, he raised his eyes and said, "I plan to send some untouchables who are infected with the disease to Daliang secretly, so that people in Daliang will also be infected with the disease, and Daliang will not be able to cure them at that time. For the epidemic, we will send envoys to Daliang and tell Daliang... If you want this prescription to cure the epidemic, you need to negotiate and beg for mercy! Ceded the city!"
Zhen Guo Princess Mansion? !
Why is there a Bai family everywhere!
The emperor was impatient.
But now, the emperor doesn't care about the Bai family anymore, he is full of his Nine Layers Terrace... The national teacher said that when the Nine Layers Terrace is completed, he can make alchemy by himself when he climbs to the top, and he will be able to live forever, and even become an immortal.
The emperor stood up straight with his elbows propped on his hidden pouch, looked up at his crown prince who was kneeling in the center of the hall through the veil, and nodded expressionlessly: "Remember that no matter what, the construction of the Jiuzhongtai is the most important thing! "
"My son, remember! Please rest assured, father!" The prince kowtowed heavily to the emperor.
Exiting from the Anyang Hall, the prince sat in the carriage, the lamps hanging from the four corners swung back and forth, making the interior of the carriage flickering, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his forehead...
Sending people infected with the disease to Daliang was something he said nonsense in a hurry, but the emperor seemed to agree with it.
That being the case, why don't you go back and discuss it with Mr. Fang, maybe you can really make Daliang surrender because of this epidemic.
The prince held the handkerchief tightly, and suddenly let out a low laugh, he did not expect him to have such quick wit.
Because of being too nervous today, the prince forgot to ask the emperor to let Fu Ruoxi take the post of commander of the patrol battalion.
The prince sighed and stuffed the handkerchief back into his sleeve, thinking that there were still some memorials to be sent to the emperor for instructions tomorrow, so...let's talk about it tomorrow!
The prince thought of his newly born son, and thought of his father naming the child "Ji" just now, and the earnest entrustment, he felt happy again, and felt that his son was his lucky star. ... His crown prince position will be more stable.
The carriage staggered all the way back to the Prince's Mansion, almost shaking the Prince to sleep, the carriage finally arrived in front of the Prince's gate.
"His Royal Highness..."
Hearing Elder Fang's voice from outside the carriage, the prince woke up.
"Your Highness... Mr. Fang is waiting for His Highness at the door!" Quan Yu stretched out his hand to support the prince and walked down the carriage, his voice was as usual, and he lowered his eyes to hide his bored mood.
"En! Get out of the carriage first..." The prince responded in a low voice, and helped Quan Yu's hand to get off the carriage.
Seeing Mr. Fang saluting to him in a single shirt, he presumably had been waiting at the door for a long time, his hands were blue from the cold, the prince frowned and said hurriedly, "Why is Mr. Fang still waiting here at this hour? Don't wear warmer clothes ..."
"Your Highness, this old man has something extremely important to tell His Highness!" Fang Lao said solemnly.
"Old Fang, Gu is really tired today! I want to go back and see Gu's children again. If it's not for military and political matters...let's talk about it tomorrow!"
In the third watch, His Royal Highness, who cannot live in peace, is also very tired...
