Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 882 The minister is about to reverse (2k5 is a bit long)
By the time Yuan Lingwei hurried back to the princess mansion on foot in a daze, Bai Jingzhen had been waiting for her in the living room for a long time.

"His Royal Highness is finally back." Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the house, the young man got up and bowed his hands to the woman whose pupils were still in a daze. you."

"Master Bai." Yuan Lingwei blinked slowly. She raised her eyes and saw the strands of white frost wrapped around Bai Jingzhen's temples, and turned her eyes to see his thinning cheeks. The words that the brave soldier said to her today.

——He said that the hair on the Taishi's temples was the ones they saw turning gray.

Yuan Lingwei quietly tightened the corners of her lips, uncontrollably filled her eyes with two points of guilt and guilty conscience, she crushed her fingers, and when she spoke again, her voice was no longer superior and domineering than before: "You today ...Why are you free to come to my place for tea?"

"The minister came to look for His Highness, naturally there is something important to do." The young man raised his eyebrows, and Yuan Lingwei waved away the maids and servants in the room in response.

After all the servants in the hall had left, Bai Jingzhen lowered his eyes and took out an open envelope from his sleeve: "However, before we talk about that important matter, I would like to ask Your Highness to read something first. .”

"What?" Yuan Lingwei who reached out to receive the letter was full of suspicion, and the young man lowered his brows and eyes even more when he heard the sound.

He stared at his cuffs without making a sound for a while, before spit out four words softly in a short while: "The last emperor's edict."

Yuan Lingwei's fingertips trembled, and she almost failed to hold the thin rice paper firmly.

She didn't know when her father left such a will with Bai Jingzhen again.

The woman pressed the tip of her tongue to the roof of her jaw, and it took a while before she mustered up the courage to look down at the words on the paper.

There were not many ink characters on the letter paper, but she read it as if she had exhausted all her strength.

When she had a full view of the last small characters on the will, Yuan Lingwei's face was already pale with frost.

"...Master Bai, you handed this edict to me so easily," the woman squeezed out a few syllables from her throat with great difficulty, "Aren't you afraid that this edict will be destroyed by me?"

"My minister is not afraid." Bai Jing remained calm, with slightly curved lips, "Those who should read this edict have already read it by now, even if you destroy it, it will be of little use."

"The Wen family?" Yuan Lingwei's breathing was slightly stagnant.

"Yes." Bai Jing really didn't think about it.

"Hiss—" the woman couldn't hold back her breath when she heard the words.

"Why?" Yuan Lingwei closed her eyes a little unwillingly, "Isn't Fuli the country that the Yuan Clan brought down?"

"And why do you want to show me this kind of thing at this kind of time?"

"Because I know that you still have the country and the common people in your heart." Bai Jingzhen raised his eyes, his pupils were clear, "I want you to live a little more clearly, at least not to be completely kept in the dark."

"Your Highness, you are not smart enough." The young man said bluntly and sharply, "You have awareness, but you don't have that kind of ability. You can't restrain courtiers, and you can't be a wise king."

"His Highness Xihua is too naive and cruel."

"The previous dynasty was a mess, with the Lu family in chaos and chaos, and the Western merchants and other countries outside. The Yuan family was doomed to fail. His majesty couldn't bear to see the people in the country in the future, so he chose to kill the people. entrusted to his nephew."

"Your Highness, you are older than I, so naturally you know better than I, what kind of temperament Princess Yuan Qing used to have—" Bai Jingzhen smiled, "His Highness Mo Qi, she taught it by herself."

"So, can you understand why?"

He has spoken so clearly, what else does she not understand?
Yuan Lingwei raised her hands to cover her face, and after a while, she let out a long breath of foul air.

She knew that she was not suitable for that position, and she also knew that Xihua was even more unsuitable for that position than she was.

It's just that in the past, she always felt that as long as she was serious enough and worked hard enough, she could always manage Fuli as well as when her father was alive, until today she has personally witnessed the most real tragedy of the lowest level people outside Beijing.

What Bai Jingzhen said was right, she was stupid, she was too easy to deceive, and she was incapable.

"...So, my lord, you are here today..." After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Lingwei couldn't help but shake her mouth. Rao, with her mediocre and dull mind, she can still appreciate Bai Jingzhen's series of behaviors. Something out of the ordinary.

——He didn't seem to come to discuss things with her today, but rather...

"That's right, Your Highness, I'm here to say goodbye to you today." Bai Jingzhen nodded with a smile, his voice was as calm as before, "Your Highness, I'm about to rebel."

"When?" Yuan Lingwei's body stiffened slightly, subconsciously asked.

The young man lowered his eyes: "The first day of next month."

"In such a hurry, aren't you afraid of failure?" The woman was astonished, and after a long time, she suddenly turned around the corner, "...it seems that your lord has already prepared."

"I'm really not smart enough." Yuan Lingwei couldn't help but smile wryly after having figured this out. Until today, she realized that she had been lingering in the chess game that others had set up earlier in the morning.

"It could have been delayed for a couple of days." Bai Jingzhen said with a slight bow, "It's just that this opportunity is really rare right now."

"Your Highness, you were busy taking care of several princesses a while ago, so maybe you haven't paid attention to the news outside the pass."

"At the beginning of the Western Shang Dynasty, the army annexed Jiuxuan, and then invaded Qianping and Hanze to the east. Now Qianping's army has counterattacked westward and killed the border of the Western Shang Dynasty. Xuan Ninghou wanted to please the new emperor of the Western Shang Dynasty. This will overwhelm its capabilities and bring more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, and run to the border to 'persuade peace'."

"Most of Lu's private soldiers were taken away by him, and most of the imperial guards in the capital are under the control of my ministers. Most of the remaining generals are used to being pampered and pampered, so there is nothing to be afraid of—now is the best time for ministers to set up flags."

"To tell you the truth, if I didn't want to build momentum, I wouldn't have to wait until three days later."

——He could have turned back today.

Yuan Lingwei closed her eyes, she had completely resigned to her fate at this point.

After all, she is a member of the Yuan family, and the glory and wealth she has enjoyed all her life is not worth the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Fuli.

The people are the foundation of a country.

She always remembered the words her father taught her.

"So, can I help you with anything?" Yuan Lingwei leaned back, and for a moment she seemed to have unloaded some burden, and her whole body relaxed three points.

"I don't need anything else." Bai Jingzhen slightly lowered his voice, "Only one thing, I want to borrow someone from you."

"Who?"

"Little princess." The young man answered crisply, "Because of His Highness Mo Qi's status, the minister will copy another posthumous edict, and temporarily replace that paragraph with 'Find another descendant of the Yuan family'."

"This... my lord, you want to temporarily change that sentence to 'find another descendant of the Yuan family' I can understand, but why must it be Yanyan?" Yuan Lingwei frowned, "She is only two years old, she will Isn't it too small?"

"If you only want a temporary puppet, I still have two daughters who have not left the cabinet under my knees."

"No, Your Highness, you've got the wrong idea." Bai Jingzhen shook his head, "I don't just want to find a puppet that can be manipulated."

"I want a descendant of the Yuan family who has not yet acquired the habits of the Lu family."

"——so as not to let Lu's remnants turn around and take advantage of the opportunity, and have thoughts that they shouldn't have."

"If you think about it this way, only Yanyan is the most suitable." Yuan Lingwei was silent for a moment, she had already turned against the Lu family when she gave birth to her little daughter, and Lu Jinghong had indeed never visited this child.

"Okay, I promise you, I will find a chance to send Yanyan to you when the time comes."

Bai Jingzhen stood up and bowed: "I will also swear to the death to protect the little princess."

"Speaking of which, isn't Your Highness going to wait with the minister?"

"I... just forget it." Yuan Lingwei hesitated a little, and finally waved her hand, "Xihua's temper is usually a bit extreme, for the sake of the overall situation, it is better for me to stay by Xihua's side and stare at her, so as to save Then she will get dizzy and do some stupid things."

"That's right." Thinking of Yuan Lingzhi's temperamental young man's lips froze, he leaned over to pick up the folded will on the tea table, saluted Yuan Lingwei again and said goodbye, "So, Your Highness, today is the It's here."

"Wei Chen retire."
