big master, big liar

Ever since the official obeisance to the Grand Tutor, Bai Heng's reputation and prestige have reached a peak.

Whether it is the Holy One, the national teacher, or Lu Qishang, who has always been against him, it seems that they have all died down and avoided the edge for the time being.From a poor family, no one can match it.

In today's Shengjing, as long as the surname is Bai, regardless of whether he is related to Bai or not, it seems that walking is three points harder than others.

But ordinary people seem to always forget that when a person reaches the peak, if he cannot soar in the daytime and step through the void, then all he will face in the future is a downhill road.

The four words of prosperity and decline are really not the alarmist words of the predecessors.

Especially behind Bai Xiang, there are still many covetous eyes.

After less than a month, this superficial calm was broken.

The first one to make waves was Song Xuan who never took the initiative to cause trouble and only regarded himself as a totem in court.

"The minister impeached important cabinet ministers and officials of the fifth rank or above, a total of 23 people, corrupted the law, framed Zhongliang, formed a party for personal gain, and compared friends to traitors. They are really slanderers and thieves of the country. If they are not investigated and punished, they will not be enough to appease the anger."

Song Xuan speaks with certainty in the court hall, his eyes are cold and stern, and he is full of righteousness.

The long list was read out, and there was no omission, all of them were children of high-ranking and powerful families.

There is no one named Bai.

As soon as he came to court, Bai Heng gathered the disciples from all the families together, took the seat of honor, and said with a smile: "What do you think of the state teacher's move today?"

Everyone was silent.

Seeing that they were unwilling to open their mouths, Bai Heng picked one of his disciples to ask, "Chao Ci?"

Wen Chaoci bowed his hands respectfully: "Students have heard that the national teacher and Lu Xiang have always been friends, and the current move may be to attack the family and clear the way for the reform."

Bai Heng twisted his beard and shook his head.

Among his three disciples, Wen Chaoci's character and ability are all beyond reproach, but his strategy is always a little short. I don't know if it is limited by the etiquette and righteousness in the book, or it is really missing this skill.

It's just that such a person naturally has his uses, at least in the position of Jing Zhaoyin, he has done well.

More importantly, with his conduct and low profile, at least there will be no troubles.

Seeing him shaking his head, Wen Chaoci still smiled modestly: "Teacher, please advise."

"The national teacher's move is to split the interior of my family." Bai Heng knocked on the armrest of the chair with a smile, but glanced at the heads of the family in the hall. "Isolating my Bai family will make you resent me, Bai Heng. Don't be fooled."

All the Patriarchs naturally agreed.

The Patriarch surnamed Gao said: "It's just that there is one thing that I don't know. Today, the state teacher's report is all a secret between us. For example, the case of the river embankment of my Gao family three years ago, before today, it was only me." Prime Minister Bai knows that the national teacher has only been in Beijing for a year, how did he know about this?"

Bai Heng was not in a hurry, and knocked on the armrest with his knuckles again and again: "So, there must be something wrong among us."

"Maybe someone... has other thoughts."

All the patriarchs even denied it again and again, and Bai Heng bowed his head wherever he looked.

Only then was Bai Heng satisfied: "The old man is just talking, maybe the national teacher has other methods. You don't have to worry about this matter, now it's just an investigation, just wait and see what happens."

Everyone gossiped for a while about the affairs of the court, most of which were flattery to Bai Heng, and then dispersed.

The Patriarch surnamed Gao had just walked a few steps, before getting into the carriage, he saw another Patriarch chasing after him in a hurry, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Gao, look at what Bai Heng said today, is it true or not?"

Patriarch Gao worried: "I don't know."

"How can you not know this?"

Patriarch Gao asked him: "Who is the beneficiary of the state teacher's move?"

The man thought for a while: "Of course it's Lu Xiang."

"Lu Xiang?" Patriarch Gao sneered. "Even if our strength is greatly reduced, with Bai Heng around, his reform will definitely not work."

"This...you mean..."

"Bai Heng is indeed the leader of our aristocratic family, and he is dedicated to the aristocratic family, but now that he has all the power... that may not be the case." Patriarch Gao said in a low voice. "Don't forget, above the aristocratic family, there is his Bai family."

He sighed in a low voice: "Bai Heng is getting old, and the Bai family is so beautiful now. Once he goes, the Bai family will be the same. He took the Bai family up with great difficulty, but now he wants to hand over to others No? If it were you, what would you do?"

"I..." The man woke up suddenly. "I will try my best to suppress others and try my best to let the younger generation of the Bai family take over."

Patriarch Gao nodded: "Today, most of the people in the national division are juniors. If you want to pave the way for the reform, why not target us old and stubborn, but target some young and high-ranking young people?"

"Furthermore, the so-called traitor." Patriarch Gao sneered. "At most we are aware of the secrets of our own family, but is there anyone who is really familiar with the disasters caused by the juniors in each family?"

"Unless...these things are all related to Bai Heng!" The man seemed to be enlightened. "No, I'll find him."

Patriarch Gao stretched out his hand and stopped him in place: "This is just my guess, it may not be true, and if you look for him, he will definitely not admit it."

"Then what shall we do?"

"Wait, just like he said, wait and see what happens, it's a fox, it will always show its tail."

The man nodded in agreement.

Patriarch Gao was about to lift his legs to leave, but suddenly saw his junior standing at the door, greeted him anxiously, and whispered something in his ear.

The man could vaguely hear the word "dense".

Seeing Patriarch Gao suddenly change color, he said in a cold voice with a flick of his sleeves: "Okay, what a Bai Heng."

"I don't believe it anymore, he can really turn this family into his Bai family."

=========

In the imperial study room, Ji Yunxi was holding a wolf pen in his mouth out of boredom, poking the tabletop once and for all.

This time, it was Song Xuan who was writing and drawing before the case, and he was more diligent than the emperor Ji Yunxi.

"Brother, what exactly was it that you asked me to return in the memorial?" Ji Yunxi was really bored, so she put her arms around his waist and acted like a baby. "And let me write thank you to the old man on it-I almost wanted to spit it out."

"It's the secret that Bai Heng gave you." After Song Xuan finished writing the letter, he summoned Zhu Yang and delivered the letter to Lu Qishang. "He secretly exposed the evil deeds of the young children of the aristocratic family. Naturally, you should thank him."

"It's just that you accidentally mixed this secret document with the ordinary commentary and sent it down together. As for what happens after that, it has nothing to do with you."

Song Xuan nodded his forehead: "Do you remember?"

"Remember," Ji Yunxi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled meaningfully. "Is this letter prepared by brother?"

"I asked Wen Chaoci to prepare it," Song Xuan said slowly. "The handwriting and writing are the same as Bai Xiang's, and Bai Xiang's seal is stamped on it. Only he can do this."

"Will those old men in the family believe it?"

"They will." Song Xuan said slowly. "Even without me, Bai Heng would have taken this step sooner or later. I just... made it ahead of time for him."

The timing of this is wrong, and the results will naturally vary widely.

"Still doing it aboveboard?" Ji Yunxi smiled lowly. "Why do I feel that my brother is more suitable to be the emperor than me?"

If it was in the past, Song Xuan would definitely scold him for talking nonsense, but now, no matter how strange it is, he has heard Ji Yunxi say it, so he doesn't care.Just knocked on his head: "Who am I for?"

"For me." Ji Yunxi put his arms around him, and the hot air puffed against his ear, which actually aroused a trace of sweet thoughts in Song Xuan.

Ji Yunxi had been recuperating these days, and it seemed that they hadn't been intimate for a long time.

"Since I know..." Song Xuan deliberately stretched out his voice, his eyes were filled with an uncontrollable smile. "Then should I ask the Holy One for a reward?"

Ji Yunxi's eyes lit up: "What does brother want?"

Song Xuan nodded his lips.

Ji Yunxi rushed over and couldn't wait to offer her lips.

Seeing his appearance like a wolf and a tiger, Song Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty is so generous?"

"I will give you as much as my brother wants." Ji Yunxi said softly. "I'm still afraid that my brother thinks that... I've rewarded you too much."
