Son of Heaven Assistance System

Chapter 65
Jing Xin originally thought that Uncle Bai was looking for him so urgently because of his beloved eldest son.

So along the way, how Jing Xin will persuade Uncle Bai, and how to reduce the influence of Bai Jitong's dirty things, has already been fully drafted.

But when Uncle Bai finished pouring out his worries, Jing Xin's instant reaction was speechless.

He never expected that what Uncle Bai was worried about was his six-year-old daughter's marriage. Speaking of which, his daughter was two years older than Bai Xianyou, but he never dared to think about marrying his daughter. , It's too useless to think about this kind of thing.

Secretly exhaling, Jing said, "Master, why worry about this? Miss Twelve is just a child."

At this time, Uncle Bai was bored, looking at Jing Xin with a resentment of "Why don't you even understand me".

"Jing Xin, this matter is uncertain for a day, and my heart is always uneasy..."

"Although most of the people in the court are still controlled by aristocratic families, the circle of aristocratic families is no longer as united as it was in the early years."

During the former dynasty, especially in the later period of the former dynasty, the various families under the strife of imperial power can be said to be monolithic.

However, during the decades between the fall of the former dynasty and the establishment of the Qi dynasty, the circle of aristocratic families has also been constantly changing. The decline of old aristocratic families and the rise of new aristocratic families have happened from time to time.

Uncle Bai continued.

"And I see that the emperor has more and more weight in his hand. As one goes up and the other goes down, the family may have a big reshuffle sooner or later..."

Speaking of this, Uncle Bai looked at Jing Xin with a look of sadness in his eyes.

"My Bai family has been the head of the four great families for too many years. It cannot be broken in my hands...Jing Xin, do you understand?"

Jing Xin naturally understands Uncle Bai's worries, but he feels that Uncle Bai still thinks a little too much.

The Qi Dynasty followed the various systems of the previous dynasty, the most important of which was the selection and appointment of officials.

The appointment system of officials has been constantly evolving and improving through the Qin, Han, Xin, and Qian (Qing) dynasties. In the former dynasty, the three divisions, three publics, five provinces, three platforms, nine temples, and five supervisors were basically established. system.The official selection system has also changed from the inspection system to the nine-rank Zhongzheng system.

The two complement each other, and evolved to the present, a system in which the gentry controls the selection of officials has already been formed, and the Shangshu Province among the five provinces controls the court.

The gentry and the imperial power continued to confront each other. Under the constraints, a strange balance was formed in the end.

It was precisely because the former dynasty wanted to break this balance that it caused the power of the gentry to rebound, and was finally forced to abdicate, allowing the Yang family from the gentry to ascend the throne and establish the current Qi Dynasty.

Jing Xin was silent and didn't answer right away, but the worried-looking Uncle Bai started talking again on his own.

"Thirty years ago, after that big victory, the world's aristocratic families were too comfortable..."

Obviously, Uncle Bai was immersed in his worry-filled world for a while.

Jing Xin sighed and had no choice but to interrupt Uncle Bai's soliloquy. His tone was gentle and slightly comforting, but it was impossible to ignore.

"Master, don't worry too much. In 20 years, what you think now will not happen."

"And at this stage, in order to consolidate the imperial power, the emperor will only focus on appeasing the family."

He paused for a moment, and looked straight at Uncle Bai. At this time, Uncle Bai was also pulled out of his pessimistic world, and he looked at Jing Xin with obvious surprise and doubt in his eyes.

Looking at each other, Jing Xin continued to speak softly.

"...And isn't marriage the best way to appease you? As for why you keep it a secret, I think it's too early to think about the thoughts of those families who have the same idea as you... Well, after all, the position of the princess is only one."

"Then does it follow his wishes?" Uncle Bai asked subconsciously.

What he wants is to keep the Bai family safe and sound under the current treacherous situation.

The Bai family has already reached the front row of the power of the family, but this does not mean that he is willing to lead the Bai family to become the vanguard in the struggle between the family and the imperial power!

If they become in-laws with the Yang family, then naturally there is a reason to watch from the sidelines.

This is why Uncle Bai attaches so much importance to the marriage contract between Bai Xianyou and the prince.

Jing Xin smiled lightly, and didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Isn't it always the same in this world, is there suffering if you have desires, and strength without desires?"

Hearing this, Uncle Bai felt that his body and mind froze for a moment, but in the next moment, clarity and clarity swept over his body and mind.

Although the aristocratic family and the imperial power now have the spearhead of mutual resistance again, but during Emperor Jingde's reign, this conflict was absolutely impossible to break out.

But for ten years, the position of the crown princess will definitely be determined.

With a "huh", Uncle Bai let out a heavy breath, "It seems that I have lost my mind, and I am like a demon, but I didn't expect that I would be led away by the nose..."

"My Bai family can use the position of a crown princess to take out the entire Bai family. Why doesn't his Yang family need a clan wife from a high-ranking daughter..."

It has to be said that Bai Xianyou, as the first daughter of the first family, is also associated with her natal Zhong's family.It can be called the most valuable of the girls in the aristocratic family. Except for being a little younger, Bai Xianyou is the best candidate for Emperor Jingde.

Compared to Emperor Jingde, he should be the one from Gaozuo Diaoyutai!
Uncle Bai suddenly became enlightened, and his depression of the previous few months suddenly disappeared.

He joked with Jing Xin in a brisk tone, "I didn't expect you to dabble in Confucianism?"

Jing Xin's expression was still indifferent, "There are hundreds of schools of thought, no matter which one can survive, there must be a reason for it."

At this time, Uncle Bai, who had untied his knot, was no longer the gloom he had just been, and even felt a little flying.

Although the current trend is mostly to admire the theories of Lao Zhuang and Zhuang Zhuang, Uncle Bai had a wide range of knowledge when he was young. He had also read some Confucian thought and knowledge. Uncle Bai, who was in a good mood, wanted to exchange his insights with Jing Xin.

But Jing Xin's next sentence directly destroyed Uncle Bai's mood that had just recovered.

"Master, the third young master told me a few days ago that he wanted to transfer some skilled cooks from the big kitchen to his yard. What do you think?"

Uncle Bai frowned, and the corners of his mouth covered by his beard seemed to droop again.

"Didn't he always eat from the big kitchen? Why bother?"

"Aunt Luo moved to the third young master's courtyard a few days ago." Jing Xin reminded.

It's a pity that Uncle Bai obviously didn't pay much attention to his son's absurdity. He didn't understand Jing Xin's prompt all at once. Instead, he followed Jing Xin's prompt and subconsciously asked, "Where is Aunt Luo from?"

But at any rate, Uncle Bai is also the same, after hearing about the incident of General Jigu Bai Jiyuan, he got a rough idea.

He reacted, "You mean, the maid in Bixi Pavilion?"

Seeing Jing Xin nodding his head, Uncle Bai felt that the anger in his heart was a little out of control.

Before that, all his thoughts were focused on Bai Xianyou's marriage. He just had a general understanding of the cause and effect of Bai Jitong's bastard affair.

Bai Jitong is already eighteen years old, so there is naturally a servant girl by his side, which is the custom of the sons of aristocratic families.

Although there are various methods of contraception, accidents like this are unavoidable. If they happen to happen, each family will hold their noses and admit it. After all, the offspring are innocent.

But Auntie, as the half master, has always been determined only after the main wife enters the door and the main wife agrees.

Bai Jitong's behavior of killing people, to put it mildly, is that the young people are young and inexperienced, it is absurd, but it is also understandable.

But bypassing the wife who hasn't entered the door and carrying the aunt, this is simply throwing away the face of being married!
With a "snap", Uncle Bai's hand slapped heavily on the nanmu desk, the severe pain from his palm made Uncle Bai frowned again.

But the pain couldn't resist the anger inside him at all.

"This scoundrel, how dare he? Doesn't he know the rules?" Different from the depression and boredom before, Uncle Bai feels a little dizzy and flustered at this moment. If the matter of raising his aunt continues to make a big splash and spread, he is not sure about getting married. Is it going to retire.

If it is because of this that the two families have turned against each other, combined with the current situation of ups and downs, he is a little afraid to think about it.

"Cook, you don't need to dial. The name 'Aunt Luo' is too shameful to be called out. I haven't notified my parents, I haven't reported it to the government, so I have the nerve to call it my aunt?"

"Fang didn't discipline her maid, let her deal with it herself, the Bai family doesn't need such lowly grandchildren!"

Fang used to crawl on the bed as a servant girl back then, but she didn't expect her servant girl to be as virtuous as her!
What kind of master, what kind of slaves he brings out!Simply shameless!
Jing Xin did not expect Uncle Bai to make such a determination in just a few moments. Although it hurt his morals a bit, it had nothing to do with him. He just went out of this door and found someone to send a letter to Aunt Fang.

He was too lazy to discuss with Uncle Bai about some remedial measures for Bai Jitong's matter.

Immediately, he resigned from Uncle Bai and left the study.
