It was Bai Changqing's first time dealing with the legendary "Royal Shame" today, and he didn't expect that he felt pretty good about it.
He is very funny, cultured, understands tea, and is also very literate. Chatting is like meeting a close friend, which makes people feel very happy. In addition, the cup contains the rare best tea in the world, and the environment is elegant and quiet. It is simply a rare leisure time.
However, Bai Changqing understood that he was a high-ranking prince, so it was impossible for him to come here to make friends with him.
"I've drank the tea. I wonder why Your Highness is looking for me?" Bai Changqing did not mince words and directly brought the conversation to the main topic. Nowadays, several princes are showing off their talents in the imperial city. Rumors can often be heard, and many people come to see him. But he had rejected it before.
Do you think the Spirit King came to his door to get him to join his side? Bai Changqing made secret calculations in his heart.
Yang Shu also put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Bai has unparalleled tea skills, so I wanted to come and see him, and also help Mr. Bai solve a problem."
"Oh? I wonder if I have any problems that need to trouble Your Highness?" The Spiritual King in front of me is not a "royal disgrace". The rumors are completely wrong. Bai Changqing had to cheer up and deal with it seriously.
"Don't you know it yourself? It's just a problem between you, Mr. Bai, and the Left Prime Minister. I can help you."
Bai Changqing was shocked, but with a calm smile on his face, he shook his head and said, "I don't quite understand what Your Highness said. The Prime Minister Zuo is my superior, and he has always treated me favorably. Between me and the Prime Minister Zuo, Where is the problem?"
Yang Shu leaned back in his chair, relaxed, and continued to smile: "No? I heard that the left prime minister is secretly working together to remonstrate with his father to reject the decision of the austerity strategy and the transfer of power. I wonder if Mr. Bai knows about this. thing?"
Before Bai Changqing could speak, Yang Shu continued: "It doesn't matter if Mr. Bai doesn't know. I can tell you that the Zuo Prime Minister is making this idea and is planning to connect 50% of the temples tomorrow, that is, during the Great Court Meeting. All the civil servants came together to remonstrate."
This news is true. Yang Shu got it from Yueying Tower these days, and it is very credible.
Bai Changqing frowned slightly when he heard this, but still did not speak.
"Haha, Lord Bai, you don't have to be like this. You and I had a very pleasant conversation just now. I feel like I have met a confidant, so I won't mince words with you."
After a pause, Yang Shu continued: "What do you mean by my father leaving the "Money and Food Tightening Strategy" compiled by Master Bai without publishing it? Master Bai should know it well, right? Now this is a "big test" for me. A generous gift from my former father is also the key to victory. If the left prime minister wants to obstruct me, he will oppose me.
Perhaps the king is weak and not in the eyes of the left prime minister. The left prime minister even deliberately contacted the king's two royal brothers in private, presumably to use force to change his father's intentions. This is very infuriating.
But why? Why would the left prime minister do such a thankless job? Is it good for him to confront this king? Or maybe he has already joined the team of my brother? "
After saying that, Yang Shu shook his head to himself, overturning his previous guesses.
"Master Bai should know Zuo Xiang's plan, right? Otherwise, Master Bai would not deliberately alienate Zuo Xiang. This is different from the harmonious relationship between you and Zuo Xiang you just mentioned."
At this point, Yang Shu stopped talking, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked at Bai Changqing in front of him with a smile.
"Why does Your Highness think that I am avoiding the Prime Minister?"
Yang Shu took a sip of tea and shook his head: "Master Bai, why don't you be more frank? Or are you worried that the king is tricking you? In fact, there is no need. Ye Lansheng has great selfish desires. When he was in power, he was covered up by his prestige. Now, When a civil servant falls into a weak position, his bad qualities are undoubtedly exposed.
You chose to avoid him, quite wisely, to be honest. "
Bai Changqing winced, put away his previous indifferent expression, and asked: "Bad roots? Why did Your Highness say this?"
"Hmph, Ye Lansheng is infatuated with power and is unwilling to give up. Even if he takes the battle for the fate of the country as a bet, he is a great thief for the country. Master Bai's unwillingness to join in the evil can be regarded as a loyal person to the country."
"Your Highness, this is..."
Yang Shu waved his hand and interrupted: "Ye Lansheng seems to want to change the strategy of austerity and transfer of power to other places. In fact, he just wants to let the civil servants continue to hold this huge power, and then use this power to restrict the military affairs in the south. , thereby dragging down the border army, causing it to fall into trouble and finally retreat to Zhuohuo Pass, so that he would have an excuse to come up with the "peace talks" strategy again to gain the former voice and authority.
Am I right? "
Yang Shu's expression at this time was gloomy and serious, and there was such a majesty about him that Bai Changqing didn't know how to answer for a while. Because Yang Shu really told everything about what was hidden in his heart.
Indeed, it was for this reason that Bai Changqing chose to avoid Ye Lansheng. But he didn't expect that the Spirit King would tell him the truth.
There is no point in pretending to be stupid anymore.
Bai Changqing also poured himself a cup of tea, but he didn't drink it. He just put it in front of him and smelled it. After being silent for a long time, he said: "Bai Changqing's family background is quite satisfactory. His family has enjoyed royal stipends for several generations. Outside the ancestral hall of his ancestral home is an inscription given by the late emperor to commend my Bai family's achievements. Seven people in my family have sacrificed their lives for the country. It has been passed down for six generations now." Generations. Two generations are martial arts, and four generations are literary.
Such kindness was engraved in the hearts of the Bai family and they dare not forget it. But the world is in a flood, and national and family affairs are always confusing and confusing. Even though Bai Changqing has lived for decades, he still cannot help but take care of himself. He can only avoid it and does not dare to look coldly at him. He is unworthy of the emperor's kindness and is really ashamed..."
Yang Shu understood clearly and knew that Bai Changqing was trying to avoid the important things with his words, so he interrupted directly: "Master Bai, if I have something to say, you'd better say it directly.
Although Ye Lansheng's plan is insidious, there is no way he can succeed. No one, no one can make any emperor of the Yang family make concessions or change the strategy of the "big test" on the issue of the royal "big test". This is the iron law of the royal family. Not to mention Ye Lansheng and the poor people he connected, even if the kundalini barrier is broken, it cannot disrupt the pace of the "big exam".
Therefore, Ye Lansheng cannot succeed. And Mr. Bai, you will definitely be used as a punching bag by Ye Lansheng for your failure. Between Father Tianwei on one side and Ye Lansheng's anger on the other, no matter what choice you make, it will be wrong.
It's better to break out of this circle and choose a new path. Maybe the way out will be broader. "After speaking, Yang Shu raised his tea cup and gestured to Bai Changqing, then seemed to drink it all in one gulp instead of the wine.
Bai Changqing did not drink the tea in his hand, but asked: "Your Highness wants to recruit me?"
"Didn't Master Bai say that "the world is flooded with things"? Since you are often unable to help yourself, why not change your way of life? Or is it that Master Bai feels that this king cannot help you?"
Unable to help? Before today, Bai Changqing would have agreed with this statement. But right now, the seventh prince is afraid that he will deceive everyone early...
