As soon as these words came out, Bai Song was stunned.
He knew that the queen said this because after knowing that he was Xingchen Khan, he contacted the princess's marriage yesterday.
But this matter has not been approved by both men and women at all, and they have not even been asked for their opinions. How can it be taken seriously?
Moreover, Bai Song is no longer Xingchen Khan.
Yesterday the princess married Star Khan.
Today the emperor deposes the Khan of the Stars.
In this way, the court can even deny the marriage and take the princess back to the palace. Why should it be blamed on itself?
Bai Song frowned and quickly explained: "Queen, I am no longer the Khan of the Stars."
"I understand your affairs clearly. Now the emperor has deposed Xingchen Khan, but the person Xiangnan likes is you, not Xingchen Khan. Xiangnan has already sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty once, and this time I To fulfill her wish. Since God has arranged such an engagement between you, it proves that you are destined after all. Even though you are no longer the Khan of the Stars, I still allow yesterday's marriage to be annulled and the engagement to be annulled. Princess Tang comes in and out, which damages the face of the Tang Dynasty. As long as you were the Xingchen Khan yesterday, then you are Xiangnan's husband. I heard that you have no residence in Chang'an, so I will give you a Prince Consort's Mansion, just beyond Dongshi Changlefang in the east."
"Ah?" Bai Song was stunned. Now it's not Xingchen Khan, but the Queen has even prepared the Prince Consort's Mansion?
"Queen, I...I, I, I...I already have a wife...Shouldn't the prince-in-law be loyal to the princess? I...I am not suitable..."
"You can just say this to me, but you are not allowed to mention it in front of Xiang Nan! I don't care about your current wife. I will take you to Chang'an together and make peace with Xiang Nan. Generally speaking, I The palace wants you to take good care of Xiang Nan and not make her sad. If Xiang Nan is aggrieved at all, I will settle all your sins with you one by one, do you understand?"
"This... Queen, aren't you forcing things on others?"
"Forcing others to make things difficult? Which prince-in-law in the past has been treated like you? Whoever you want to marry in the future, as long as Xiang Nan agrees, I will agree. Anyway, as long as Xiang Nan is happy, I can ensure that you are worry-free in the Tang Dynasty. Worry, if Xiang Nan is sad, you can never expect to have good fruits to eat."
The queen's words were so serious, Bai Song definitely had no choice but to run away.
Bai Song wanted to say that the one he wanted to marry was Shu Wang, and the queen knew it. Considering that the queen had just said that whoever she wanted to marry in the future would be entirely up to Xiang Nan, so there was probably room for change in this matter.
Seeing Bai Song's sad face, the queen felt a little unhappy in her heart, but at this moment it was not appropriate to use words to force her, so she changed her tone and said: "Bai Song, I also care about Xiang Nan to protect you, and Xiang Nan is also the apple of the Emperor's eye. , having her by your side can dispel the emperor's worries. Now that the emperor does not say those criticisms, he will be somewhat doubtful in his heart. As long as you take good care of Xiang Nan, she will be your eternal talisman, understand? "
After hearing this, Bai Song finally sighed heavily: "Thank you, Queen, for your support. It's just that the common people are afraid of betraying the princess."
"The Emperor asked you to exterminate the Holy Lotus Sect. As long as you do your best and return to Chang'an in half a year, you will face a smooth road. If a man is ambitious and cares about his family, he will not be disappointed."
Bai Song thought about it and sighed secretly: "Yeah, is there any use in thinking about other things now? The top priority is to exterminate the Holy Lotus Sect. It is said that the Holy Lotus Sect has existed since Li Shimin came to the throne. The imperial court has been planning an encirclement and suppression. We only have half a year to eliminate them, and we don’t give them any soldiers, soldiers, or officials. How easy is it to complete this task?”
Thinking of this, Bai Song bowed his hands and left.
The Queen's illness left her to rest and recuperate, so Bai Song handed over everything to Mr. Yuan.
Yuan Tiangang now takes over from Li Chunfeng and is in charge of Si Tianjian. On the surface, he has become a high official, but in fact, he has lost his freedom in life for Bai Song.
Only by constantly doing things for the emperor and gaining the emperor's trust can he support what he said and prevent the emperor from doubting Bai Song.
The emperor no longer doubted the Bai Song Dynasty, but it brought disaster to the Wu family in Chang'an.
Within three days, all the women with the surname Wu in Chang'an were arrested, and Li Shimin ordered Yuan Tiangang to find the demon star he talked about within half a year.
But Bai Song had no way to intervene in this matter. Fortunately, Li Shimin listened to Yuan Tiangang's words and only asked for the birth dates of all the women with the surname Wu. He did not interrogate those women with the surname Wu too harshly.
In the next time, Bai Song will begin to prepare for his trip to Yizhou.
Bai Song returned to the residence guarded by Sang Sang, told Sang Sang that something had happened to him, and asked Sang Sang to return to Jixian alone.
If everything goes well, he will be able to return to Chang'an in half a year, and the emperor will follow the agreement to rehabilitate the Mohist family. He will be appointed as a young master, take charge of the imperial hospital, and stationed in the Prince Consort's Mansion.
At that time, it was time for Xiang'er to move to Chang'an, and then Sangsang would return.
After listening to everything, Sangsang was very quiet and understanding. Even though there were countless worries in his heart, he didn't show any of them.
He honestly followed Brother Bai's instructions and packed his things to leave Chang'an.
There was not much detail when saying goodbye, except that Bai Song felt guilty and failed to fulfill his promise to take the girl to see Chang'an.
…
In Dongshi Bank, the buildings were empty and the doors were closed.
Many people shouted at the door with their money tickets, yelling that they had been cheated and wanted to report it to the official.
Seeing such a scene, Bai Song felt a little desolate in his heart. He thought that the bank that he had carefully prepared for so long had undergone earth-shaking changes overnight.
All members of the Mo family were arrested, including Bai Feng.
The Bai Song Dynasty was once proud and complacent, but it was vulnerable to the encirclement and suppression by the imperial court.
Seeing the people asking for explanations at the door, Bai Song was about to go to the warehouse to check the banknotes and exchange them for the current batch of people's banknotes.
There are also a small number of financial products that must abide by the contract and be performed seriously.
Just as Bai Song was about to go there, he suddenly saw people coming out of the Chen Family Bookstore next door. Chen Xirong greeted the people and went to her academy to exchange their banknotes.
As Bai Song approached, he heard Chen Xirong shouting in front of the people: "There is something temporary at Mobai Bank. All banknotes from now on can be exchanged at our bookstore. All matters related to Mobai Bank will be handled by our bookstore. Everyone Don't worry, Mobai Bank is not running away, and banknotes and financial products are not scams!"
While talking, several boxes of money were dragged out of the book club.
When the people saw the money, they shouted "Don't worry" and stepped forward to exchange the banknotes. The situation returned to stability.
At this time, Bai Song arrived in the middle of the crowd, pushed aside the pedestrians, and came to stand in front of Chen Xirong.
"Master, are you saving money or withdrawing money?" Chen Xirong lowered his head and asked Bai Song seriously.
"Cough..." Bai Song coughed lightly and said nothing.
Chen Xirong looked up and saw Bai Song with a happy face: "Bai..."
With one word out of his mouth, he turned around and pulled Bai Song into the book club.
"Bai Song, you...were you released? Let me see if there is anything wrong?"
When they arrived at the accounting room, Chen Xirong looked at Bai Song eagerly and looked around Bai Song nervously.
"How did you know I was caught?" Bai Song asked with a frown, "And what are you doing?"
"A man came last night and said that something happened to you, and something happened to Mobai Bank. This morning I saw that there was no one in your shop. I knew that person was not talking nonsense. When a customer came to exchange banknotes, he saw that there was no one among you. I yelled that I had been fooled. In order to prevent the matter from spreading, I took it upon myself to help you secure the customers first. On weekdays, I heard about your banknotes and financial products. I know all about those things. "
"Where did that money come from?"
"Of course I am here to support you! Could it be that it fell from the sky?"
"Thank you..." Bai Song thought for a while, not knowing what to say.
"Huh, interest has to be calculated!" Chen Xirong said arrogantly, "But it's fine now that you're back, and I don't need to worry about you anymore."
"I have to trouble you to take care of the bank for me. It will take half a year. I have to leave Chang'an for half a year."
"Half a year?! You can just leave. Where are your guys? Where are those beautiful women?"
"They are all still being imprisoned. The emperor gave me some tasks. The emperor will not release them until I complete them."
"Ah?!" Chen Xirong had a look of horror on his face. Knowing that this was not a joke, he became serious, "Then you can go without worries. I will keep an eye on the bank for you. Don't worry about the money. I will give it to you from the Chen family." Don’t worry, as long as you come back and pay enough interest.”
Bai Song nodded and asked, "What does the person who brought you the message look like?"
Chen Xirong frowned and thought. After describing it, Bai Song immediately thought of Jian Shisan.
Of all the Mo family members, only Jian Shisan escaped.
To destroy the Holy Lotus Sect this time, we must have the help of Sword Thirteen.
"What else did he say?"
"He said he would send all the bank's contracts tonight, as well as some deposits for me to keep."
"Just in time, I'll be waiting for him here tonight."
"Where else are you going?"
"I'm leaving Chang'an tomorrow, and now I have to go somewhere to visit."
The place Bai Song mentioned was Changlefang.
Bai Song went to Furong Garden again and heard that the princess had moved to the Prince Consort's Mansion.
Before leaving Beijing, Bai Song wanted to see Li Xiangnan.
Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, from now on, I and Her Highness the Princess have decided to become husband and wife.
Li Xiangnan was beautiful and intelligent, and she was in her prime. She had a graceful figure and a lot of nobility. She was a princess worthy of the Bai Song Dynasty. How could the Bai Song Dynasty be faulty?
It's just that I didn't dare to dream about it in the past, but now that I have a status, I naturally have to keep it in mind.
Moreover, what the queen said was true. Li Xiangnan was not only his wife, but also a talisman.
Bai Song had experienced what it was like to go against the emperor, which was not a wise choice. At least now and in the next few years, Bai Song would not be able to conflict with the court or the emperor.
If you want to gain a foothold in Chang'an, it is crucial to win the love of Princess Runan.
When Bai Song arrived at Changlefang, he saw a large gold plaque with the words "Husband-in-law's Mansion" hanging on a large courtyard.
There are a few small words on the side - "Princess Runan, Huizhi Lanxin".
