Bai Guo tapped Ni Yu's head lightly, and when Ni Yu turned around in confusion, he stood up and said in Zhizhou's eyes, "Then I'll leave this place to Lord Zhizhou."
Zhizhou stood up and greeted Bai Guo.
After leaving the house, Ni Yu kept looking back, and Bai Guo asked, "Can't bear to leave?"
Ni Yu replied: "That's not the case. Zhizhou has already spoken. How can I not give it to you? I just wonder why my cousin gave this to Zhizhou?"
By now everything will come to light. Whoever finds out will send a message to the court, and then the credit will be credited to whomever.
"I've seen some of the people kneeling behind me in the past few years." Bai Guo had seen many officials while traveling in the fifteen states before, not to mention the wives and children brought by those officials.
"He knows the situation in Lezhou better than I do. He knows better who has been bewitched and participated and who can be saved. What I and the people in the world want is just a result. As for the few missing people, only If the facts remain unchanged, few people will care.”
Ni Yu paused, "But the people hurt by them will care."
Lezhou has been suffering from the disease for as long as the smoke in Chengnan has been burning for a few months. Isn't this enough?
"Ni Yu, what do you think will be the benefit of me going against Zhizhou at this time?"
Ni Yu paused as she looked at Bai Guo, who needed her support even when walking.
Leaving aside the fact that Lezhou is Zhizhou’s territory, now that Bai Guo is weak, it would be easy for Zhizhou not to want Bai Guo not to participate in some things. Besides, the illness has just passed and everything is going for the better. At this time, if there is a conflict between Supervisor Bai and Zhizhou I am afraid that the people of Lezhou will lose their trust in them. If something happens again in the city, who will come out to stabilize the situation?
"Who he wants to protect is his business, but if he can't protect it, it has nothing to do with me."
Only then did Ni Yu understand the meaning of Bai Guo's words. They were to remind Zhizhou that he was giving both parties a bad look, and by leaving now, he was also saying that she would not be more involved in this matter.
Ni Yu paused, lowered his voice, stared at his toes and asked, "Is this all about this?"
"Won't."
Bai Guo's unusually certain words made Ni Yu not sure whether he heard it for a moment, "What?"
"There are countless troops, doctors, and officials entering the city. People from all parties can be said to have gathered here. Zhizhou thought that here he could control Lezhou like he did before or bet on what he had done for Lezhou. I gained some face in front of those people, but in fact I just handed over the hilt of the knife."
Ni Yu looked at Bai Guo's calmness and didn't know how to respond. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Then they won't give you this thin noodles?"
Zhizhou has been operating in Lezhou for several years.
Bai Guo shook his head, "I don't know."
Although he said this, after returning to the room, Ni Yu heard Bai Guo ask again: "How is the emperor's body now?"
These things are not secrets outside, at least everyone in Kyoto knows almost everything, so Ni Yu told them all, and finally said: "Now except for some urgent matters, the emperor rarely comes forward."
Ging Guo gently put down the tea cup and continued to ask: "What about the prince?"
"Prince? The prince hasn't changed much recently, but he handles many things in the court, and he issues orders directly. Speaking of which, I haven't heard of any big noise in the court recently. It seems that the prince only needs to speak. Everything can be carried out.”
Ni Yu thought about it as he spoke, but when he said this, he was stunned for a long time as if he thought of something.
Ging Guo didn't speak, just put away the books at hand.
At this time, Ni Yu finally came to his senses and looked at Bai Guo, thinking in Bai Guo's actions, there is a reason why his cousin can survive in the officialdom.
Whether Zhizhou can have a thin face does not depend on how many people ask for mercy, nor how many people want Zhizhou to fall, but whether he is included in the prince's plan to establish his own power.
Only then did Ni Yu smell a bit of a change in the movements in Kyoto, and couldn't help but look at Ging Guo.
There have been rumors in Kyoto that the emperor sent Supervisor Bai to such a high position because he wanted to...
Although the rumors are bizarre, there is always a reason or two. So what does her cousin think of this matter?
Ni Yu thought that he didn't have the guts to say it.
But looking at Bai Guo, who looked normal at this time, Ni Yu felt that the rumors were just rumors based on rumors.
The world belongs to the prince, and her cousin has no intention of fighting for it, nor does she want to express her feelings in front of the new emperor. She does her best to calm down the chaos in Lezhou and ignores the various disputes among the powerful.
"How is Leping doing now?" Bai Guo's question brought Ni Yu back from his thoughts. Ni Yu thought for a while and said, "Although it doesn't look as good as before, I think Leping's value is greater now than before. , to put it in detail, Leping previously brought wealth that ordinary people could not imagine, but it is a bit difficult to keep the wealth after it reaches a certain amount, and now Leping has turned to business and traveled among the seven countries..."
Ni Yu raised his eyes and looked at Bai Guo and continued: "The information is the best. When the time comes, all countries may be polite and ignore it, but they can't refuse the benefits that Leping can bring. If they can't refuse, they will give Leping enough space to do what he wants." thing."
The benefits brought to Xianguo from Leping can make countless countries jealous, so how could he refuse at this time.
Having information from various countries means that Leping has countless connections. Who can easily touch Leping with his connections?
At this time, Ni Yu was watching Leping in conjunction with the movements in Kyoto, and suddenly felt that everything was clearing out the clouds and sunshine.
"Leping will gather wealth in the early stage and power in the later stage. After the prince ascends the throne, he will not ask for trouble for a moment." Ni Yuya's voice was very low for the last half of the sentence, but his eyes looked at Gingo extremely calmly. .
Bai Guo tapped Ni Yu's forehead and said as Ni Yu stuck out his tongue: "I don't want the prince to be unable to touch me."
Ni Yu followed Bai Guo's words and asked, "Why is that?"
"Ni Yu, there is no consistency in the world. If you can't move for a while, you won't be able to move forever. The prince will eventually become the monarch. Can the monarch of a country tell me in detail? What I have to do is to give the prince a reason in the future. A reason that makes him think he can keep me safe.”
Ni Yu either understood or not. He originally wanted to say that he understood but suddenly thought of something. He held on to the idea that Bai Guo thought he was stupid and simply shook his head and said: "I don't understand, cousin."
Ging Guo straightened up and formed an angle with Ni Yu, who was sitting and looking up at her, making the other party's expression unclear.
Ni Yu suddenly stood up. I don't know whether it was because he had been in the army all year round or because the Ni family was physically strong. At a young age, Ni Yu was already a little taller than Ging Guo. Now he was looked down upon like Ging Guo.
Bai Guo didn't quite understand Ni Yu's actions, but when the words came to his lips, he simply blurted out: "Why do your parents want to protect you? Why does your brother protect you on the battlefield? You make suggestions on the battlefield. What is the reason for fighting for life and merit among soldiers? There are reasons for everything in the world."
Ni Yu somewhat understood that what Bai Guo had to do now was to let the prince see her own value, so that she could always stand in the safest place when faced with the same situation as Zhizhou.
Ni Yu looked at Bai Guo and suddenly said, "My cousin is not doing the same thing as before."
She had not been with Ging Guo for long before, but she had never known anything about Ging Guo. What Ni Yu knew about Ging Guo before was that everything he did was very... neat.
For example, several officials in Yanghe Prefecture were beheaded, such as the Qizhou Prince Li incident, and the incident of Fengzhou detaining Yong Xinglan. These things do not require much careful consideration to understand how vigorous and resolute Bai Guo's methods are, but at this moment, Bai Guo What is said is exactly the opposite.
Bai Guo shook her head funny at Ni Yu's words, "I've grown up anyway."
Ni Yu thought that Bai Guo would only say this to deal with her, but she heard Bai Guo murmur again in a low voice, "I have been through a lot of things, I can't help but understand this."
Lezhou's condition has indeed stabilized. When everything was in order at the end of July, everyone had vaguely confirmed the matter. Even the governor and many officials were constantly arresting people for interrogation, etc., which made the people unable to hold back. The mind yearns for freedom.
In many places that were still under their jurisdiction, people began to try their best to leave, and soldiers tried their best to deal with the officials and the people every day.
Among them, Yan Ren is the most abnormal one. He is the one who actively seeks out officials everywhere and the magistrate to completely unblock Lezhou.
Now he no longer cares about what happens in Lezhou, he just wants to participate in the war with Hongliang Kingdom.
Every day of peace in the city was torture to him.
Bai Guo was reading and practicing calligraphy in the house for more than ten days before he heard someone say that General Yan was asking for an audience. Bai Guo wiped the ink on his finger and said, "Tell him, if the city is safe, it will not remain sealed, but if it is because of his If urgency leads to unrest in the city, he cannot bear the consequences."
The words were conveyed, and Yan Ren and Bai Guo's people started fighting directly. On that day, the magistrate of Lezhou came forward to settle the matter. In the following days, the fact that the two were at odds spread throughout the city.
At the end of August, Zhizhou confirmed that the condition had indeed not recurred, and ordered someone to send a letter to Kyoto, explaining the current situation in Lezhou to the emperor, and then asked if it was possible to open the outermost periphery, which was also the twelve with the weakest impact from the beginning to the end of the disease. city.
Kyoto wrote "Yes" in the prince's own handwriting.
The soldiers, generals and doctors who entered the city from the outermost periphery happily began to pack their things.
After hearing the news, Ni Yu sighed and said to Bai Guo: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have come in, otherwise I could have gone to the front line."
Gingguo's fingertips slowly rubbed the tea cup. The long movement and silence made Ni Yu realize that something was wrong and asked: "Brother Pang Yang..."
Bai Guo paused and then said, "Is Brother Pang Yang seriously injured?"
As the doctors and soldiers came in one after another, Bai Guo heard the news from outside several times, but this was the first time he asked about it.
