The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 917: safe return
Chapter 917 Return to the Capital Safely
“Grandma, A-Bao hasn’t told you yet that A-Yu… is still alive! But now A-Yu has a special status, so A-Bao thought… when A-Yu comes back in the future, he will personally bring him to pay his respects to you, Grandma!”
But now, her grandmother couldn’t hold on any longer, and she wanted to tell her grandmother the news before she passed away…
“Eldest sister?!” Bai Jinxiu opened her eyes wide and almost couldn’t help crying.
Ayu…
Ayu, the legitimate descendant of the Bai family!
Bai Jinxiu looked up and saw her grandmother’s peaceful appearance. She didn’t want to make her elder sister sad. She knew that although her elder sister had never expressed it, her heart must be full of tears and guilt at this moment. She bit her back teeth to hold back her tears and buried her head as tears kept falling.
Great, Ayu is still alive!
It’s really great!
Grandmother has not yet met A-Yu, A-Jue, or A-Yun…
The eldest sister has already summoned those members of the Bai family who still have a chance of survival after fighting in Southern Xinjiang to return to the capital on June 20th to witness the coronation ceremony. Why doesn’t grandmother wait? Maybe more members of the Bai family will come back!
Why… were you so determined that you didn’t even see me for the last time?
Bai Qingyan noticed that her grandmother’s fingers seemed to move. Her throat was swollen and choked with pain. She knew… her grandmother heard it.
She spoke softly and lightly: “On June 20th, Abao hopes that another member of the Bai family will come back. If so… Abao will bring his brothers to kowtow to grandmother… and tell grandmother that she has returned safely.”
The Grand Princess’s eyes, which looked peaceful, became wet at some point, and Bai Qingyan wiped the moisture away with her hands.
Outside the big tent, Doctor Hong and Shen Tianzhi and his group stood at the door, not daring to say a word. The entire camp seemed to have fallen silent.
Everyone knows that the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty led the army in person to rescue her grandmother… the Grand Princess of the previous dynasty. But who would have thought that after the person was rescued, the Grand Princess took poison.
Many people speculated that the Grand Princess was using her death to express her grief and indignation, and to drive a nail into the heart of the Empress of the Great Zhou.
Whenever the Queen of the Great Zhou sits on the throne, she will remember… that this throne was obtained at the cost of her grandmother’s life.
At this time, who would dare to make such a noise without risking their life?
Doctor Hong carried his medicine box with a frown on his face. He looked up at the raging fire in Luohong City. He felt indescribable in his heart. It would be a good thing if the fire in Luohong City… could burn up the corrupt Jin Dynasty as well.
Du Sanbao ran over quickly and handed the letter to Doctor Hong: “There is news from the capital city. Doctor Hong…you must deliver it to His Majesty as soon as possible!”
“Give it to me!” Doctor Hong took the letter and opened it to take a look. “The old aristocrats in Daliang were dissatisfied and started a riot after the eldest girl left. The riot has been suppressed by the fourth girl! In the capital city… those old royal relatives of the Jin Dynasty want to unite the five princes of the Jin Dynasty’s fiefdoms with the eldest princess and the eldest girl to negotiate terms to keep their own titles and fiefdoms.”
“What a fool’s dream!” Du Sanbao spat.
“These princes who had fiefs in the previous dynasty can’t make any waves. Before the eldest lady came to Luohong City from the capital, she had already ordered the Bai family army to go to the two fiefs of Guang’an and Baishui, and ordered the princes and princes of the two places to go to the capital together to watch the coronation ceremony. The Bai family army will take over the defense of the two places. They dare not not go!” Doctor Hong said in a calm voice, “And the eldest lady has instructed people to publicize the new policy in the local area and tell the people how the new policy will benefit the people! Most of the local soldiers came from the people of the fiefdom. It is beneficial to the people… Even if it is beneficial to them, who would be willing to work hard for the lord of the fiefdom… and continue to be the lord of the fiefdom’s cattle and horses?”
Shen Tianzhi nodded. Bai Qingyan has always valued the people and the people’s hearts, so this move is not surprising.
Du Sanbao was also relieved.
“The reason why the eldest lady didn’t send people to the three fiefdoms of Hedong, Anxi and Shuofang was probably because she wanted to go there herself… It just so happens that it doesn’t take much time to go around these three places when returning to the capital from Luohong City. If the eldest lady leads the troops there personally… I think they won’t dare to disobey.”
Hearing what Doctor Hong said, Shen Tianzhi raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect Bai Qingyan to do such a thing…
If Shen Tianzhi guessed correctly, Bai Qingyan wanted to take this opportunity to completely abolish the feudal system and thus strengthen centralization.
To put it bluntly, it all depends on who has more soldiers and who has the stronger fist.
Bai Qingyan has many soldiers at his disposal. He has surrounded your fiefdom and is controlling your relatives and palace… You can’t help but submit.
Moreover, the new policy that Bai Qingyan intends to implement is beneficial to the people. Those people in the fiefdoms… who were originally the cattle and horses of the fiefdom lords, when they heard about the new policy… how could they not be excited and support Bai Qingyan?
Ever since Bai Qingyan took over the capital city, he noticed the surge of forces from all sides, so he began to be on guard against these royal relatives and started making arrangements early… in case the princes of the previous dynasty who had fiefs and private soldiers had other intentions.
Soon, Doctor Hong saw Lin Kangle, who was as black as a coal ball, rushing over. He bowed to Doctor Hong and Shen Tianzhi and was about to enter the tent. Shen Tianzhi hurriedly stopped Lin Kangle and said, “General Lin, wait a minute!”
Lin Kangle thought that Shen Tianzhi was dissatisfied with his poor manners, so he pushed Shen Tianzhi’s hand away and said, “It’s already late, I don’t have time to care about etiquette. I want to see His Majesty. The deposed crown prince of the Jin Dynasty and Qin Shangzhi are here to surrender!”
“Don’t go in yet…” Doctor Hong said slowly.
Lin Kangle has been following Bai Qingyan for a while, and he knows that Doctor Hong holds a special position beside Bai Qingyan. He glanced at Shen Tianzhi, who had a serious expression on his face. Is it not a big deal even if the deposed crown prince comes to surrender?
But that Qin Shangzhi… didn’t Your Majesty always want to recruit him for your own use? Now that he’s at your doorstep, why aren’t you in a hurry?
Lin Kangle bowed to Doctor Hong and said, “Doctor Hong, can you give me some advice?”
Doctor Hong waved his hand and said, “I have nothing to teach you. The eldest princess is dying. The eldest and second daughters are in there. Don’t disturb them at this time.”
Lin Kangle suddenly realized something. He glanced at the big tent with the curtains lowered, took a step forward, and said to Doctor Hong, “Doctor Hong, the deposed crown prince was stabbed in the chest. Do you… want to go over and take a look?”
“Why look at the prince of the previous dynasty? If he has that time, he might as well let Doctor Hong take care of a few more brothers who were burned!” Du Sanbao was not convinced.
Just now, Du Sanbao was waiting in the camp following orders. Brothers who were burned while fighting the fire were sent back one after another. They were burned beyond recognition. The military doctors were unable to save the soldiers of the Great Zhou, so how could they save the prince of the previous dynasty?
The Jin Dynasty no longer exists, so who would recognize a crown prince from the Jin Dynasty?
Doctor Hong blew his beard and glanced at Lin Kangle: “Just send a military doctor over. I have to stay here… Your Majesty’s body has not fully recovered yet. If something happens, can you afford to pay for the life of the deposed crown prince?”
