Chapter 689

After all, killing a few people is not killing a few chickens, so there is no trouble. At least, it soon became clear that the people they sent didn't achieve what they wanted. So the next morning, the owner of the Bai family came to visit in person.

The Bai family is known as the first aristocratic family in the imperial city of Xiling. The status in Xiling is different from that of Xu family in Dachu. It's just that the Xu family didn't like to specialize in political affairs in the past dynasties, and they took academic research as their priority. On the contrary, since the founding of Xiling, the Bai family have been senior officials in the imperial court. Even among the empresses and concubines of Xiling, there are many Bai women. The Bai family has produced several queens and more than ten imperial concubines in the past dynasties. They are worthy of the name of the descendants. However, since the Regent, Lei Zhenting, came to power, although the empress was still a woman of the white family, and even Su Zuidi, the imperial concubine who had been in love for 3000 years, entered the palace under the name of Bai family. Although there are many connections between the white family and Zhennan king, there is only one. The empress has no son. Neither the princess who died early nor the prince's son and concubine are surnamed Bai. This makes the power of the white family virtually scattered a lot.

Lei Zhenting is a man of great mind and calculation, which can not be compared with the cowardly emperor of Xiling. Therefore, he even used the Bai family, and did not deprive them of their power because they were descendants. However, he would never let the Bai family's scenery become more prosperous than before. Therefore, in recent years, apart from the palace and Zhennan palace, few of the Bai family's women have married into the clan. As time went on, how could the Bai family not see that the king of Zhennan was trying to suppress himself. Naturally, such a family as the Bai family does not take the so-called loyalty and patriotism into consideration. For them, the continuation of the family and the wealth and power are the most important. So when the Mohist army came under the city, they were already on the road behind the plan. And the Xu family of Da Chu It is undoubtedly a model for them to refer to.

The Xu family only married a granddaughter named Wang, but now the Xu family's power in Ding Wang's house can be said to have no difference. The Bai family didn't want to replace Princess Ding, but as long as Ding Wang can see a woman from the Bai family, the status of the Bai family in the imperial city of Xiling will be very different from that of other aristocratic families in the future. Therefore, among the eight men and women who were sent by maids and maidservants, there were two young ladies from the white family and a gentleman from the common family. It's just that after these people entered the post house, there was no news. Because the Mohist army is out to fight, so did not bring the maid servant out. In addition to Mo Xiu, Yao, Ye Li and other close attendants in the post house, most of the people who do rough work are from Xiling. These Xiling families can't do anything else, but it's OK to get some information. The area of the post house is not large, but there is no news of those people at all. It is obviously that there is more or less misfortune. How can the owner of the white family not worry?

"Lord Bai, please After half an hour's tea in the outer hall, the owner of the Bai family was worried and unhappy, but there was no sign of it. Seeing Lin Han, who came to pass the message, he did not have the slightest arrogance of the family leader. He nodded politely and said with a smile: "thank you, sir. Please lead the way ahead."

The place where Mo xiuyao met the master of the Bai family was still in the courtyard of the post house. The post house was not very big at first. The inner courtyard was the residence of Ye Li and Mo xiuyao. Ye Li was in a bad mood these days. Naturally, Mo xiuyao did not allow outsiders to disturb her. The official business was usually handled in the study of the outer courtyard. When the white master was led to the garden by Lin Han, Mo xiuyao was sitting under the tree, carving something slowly in his hand. The white master forgot a glance, but it was a hairpin that had been carved into a line. Although I can't see the pattern for a moment, I know it must be very important to see the carefully carved and polished appearance of Mo xiuyao. But look at the jade The master of the white family couldn't help but draw. It is a piece of excellent white warm jade, which is rare even in the whole country of Xiling. At present, there is only one piece in the imperial city of Xiling. At the beginning, the white family owner was also very coveted. Finally, he was bought by the sun family. What's more, the jade that I wanted to ask jade carving master to carve a rare treasure turned out to be a humble hairpin in King Ding's hand. For a time, the white master could not be said to be distressed.

Mo xiuyao didn't pay attention to the people standing in front of him. He was holding the carving knife in one hand and the jade hairpin in his hand with some dissatisfaction. I haven't touched my hand for a long time, and I'm a little rusty

"I have met his highness Ding Wang in Bai Yuncheng of the lower Xiling." The white master understood that if he did not speak, he would not pay attention to himself if he stood here for an hour or two. Although he felt a little uneasy in his heart, he thought about the prospect of Ding Wang's mansion that his staff had analyzed with him, and he felt that he could stand it again.

Mo xiuyao carefully put his jade hairpin and carving knife back into a sandalwood box beside him. Just then he raised his head and took a look at Baiyun city. He nodded and said, "it's the head of the Bai family. I'm glad to meet you. Please have a seat. " Bai Yun city mouth corner a draw, looked around only to say: "thank you for the king's good intentions, just stand next." There was no chair, not even a stone stool, as far as the eye could reach. Mo xiuyao was just sitting on a stone beside the rockery. Naturally, I didn't intend to prepare a chair for people.

Mo xiuyao chose to pick eyebrows, and said, "the white master is happy."

Bai Yuncheng can't help feeling and vomiting blood in his heart. Is this his pleasure? At least he is also a senior family leader. How can he sit on the ground casually.

"The white family is here, but what can I do for you?" Mo xiuyao asked casually. Bai Yuncheng said respectfully: "your highness and princess have come to the imperial city for the first time. I can hardly be regarded as the host. I just want to be the host. The king and the princess will be honored. " Mo xiuyao shook his head and said with some helplessness: "it's not that the king doesn't give the white master face, but the princess is not feeling well these days. I'm afraid I should thank him for his kindness."Bai Yuncheng's heart is happy, the reason why he took the imperial concubine is just out of courtesy. The white family wants to send people into the Ding palace, but they haven't wanted to offend the Ding princess. Naturally, it's better that the princess is not there.

"I don't know the Lord..." Bai Yuncheng asked tentatively.

Mo xiuyao shook his head and said, "the princess is not feeling well. This king is upset and has no intention to go out."

In this way, Bai Yuncheng had to make amends. King Ding has so clearly refused, he can not say anything more, otherwise it will be counterproductive. After thinking about it, Bai Yuncheng had to try to change a topic that Ding Wang would be interested in. "In a month's time, the emperor will move his capital to Ancheng, but I don't know whether his highness Ding Wang intends to move the capital Move to the imperial city for temporary residence? "

Although Bai Yuncheng has never been to the northwest, he still knows something about Licheng. For the people who live in the imperial city for a long time, Licheng is really a little out of the table. It's not that Licheng is not prosperous. In fact, after years of governance by dingwangfu, Licheng has been as prosperous as Chujing and Xiling imperial city. In just a few years, it can be seen that the king's means are also capable. But the most important place in Licheng, dingwangfu, is not as good as the palace of Chujing and Xiling. Over the years, it was just a bigger and more magnificent mansion than other residences. Therefore, in the view of Baiyun City, it is almost a foregone conclusion that Mo xiuyao moved the political center of dingwangfu to Xiling imperial city.
