The son follows his father, and his appearance is almost the same. You can tell whether he is the son of Prince Bai Xiaojin Qi with just one glance.
There have been a lot of rumors in the capital recently, saying that the Seventh Prince is back, some are saying that the Seventh Prince's son is back, and some people don't believe it, saying that the Seventh Prince has no heirs.
Today, all the civil and military officials were standing in the Jinluan Palace. They saw the much-discussed protagonist standing in front, behind his two imperial uncles. The tall and handsome man was none other than Bai Xiaojin's son.
The ministers were surprised, some were worried, and some were secretly happy.
They winked at each other happily, as if to say, there is a good show to watch.
What worries me is the panic status changes and the change of power.
The emperor sitting in the dragon chair is over sixty years old and has gray hair, but he looks very energetic, with a pair of eagle-like eyes, sharp and powerful.
He sat on the dragon chair with more people than ten thousand people, and scanned the ministers who were whispering to each other with slightly squinted eyes.
The officials below, including the princes standing at the front, one was Prince Duan and the other was Prince Xian. They turned their heads and stared at their nephew who should not have come back. Their hearts were full of waves, mixed with all kinds of groundless resentment and sadness.
Yes, sad.
Seeing that the country is at your fingertips, a white jade fairy descends from the sky. This is a deliberate provocation.
The wise king said unwillingly, "Father, the emperor's nephew is back. This is a great event, but as a son, I still have to say something. The son remembered an allusion in the book, which is called civet cat for prince, father.
, the descendants of the royal family have a distinguished status, so we should be cautious in everything we do."
The words of the wise king were profound. He said that the orphan's return was a happy event, but in fact he meant that the identity of the White Jade Immortal was unknown and he might be a fake.
Bai Yuxian looked at Uncle Huang and asked, "Why are you always in such a hurry? I haven't even said anything yet. Uncle Huang, you are so impatient to crack down on counterfeiting, and you are not afraid of being outcast."
Prince Duan was relatively calm, but he pursed his lips tightly and did not speak, presumably because he was afraid of making enemies.
He knew that his nephew was an enemy, and so was the wise king, and that the three parties were causing chaos, so it was better to sit back and watch the tigers fight. This was a clever plan. As the so-called two tigers fight, one thing will be lost, so it would be good to be a fisherman.
.
King Duan's wishful thinking was crackling.
The ministers looked at the two elders of the royal family. Now they are the only two who are qualified to inherit the throne. Of course, Bai Yuxian is back. He is Bai Xiaojin's son, and he has a greater chance.
The Xian Wang glanced at the silent King Duan, and for a moment he had no idea what the brother Wang was planning. In order to break the deadlock, the Xian Wang looked at the crowd and motioned to the ministers who were on the same camp as him to speak.
A minister looked at the wise king's eyes and immediately agreed, "Your Majesty, this matter involves the honor and disgrace of the royal family, and involves the country, the country, and the country. Please be careful."
As soon as the minister finished speaking, all the ministers agreed, "Your Majesty, please be careful."
The emperor sat on an armchair and looked at a group of duplicitous ministers with half a smile.
Some people think that since Bai Xiaojin has been away for many years, who knows if he has any blood left, and it is unknown whether the young man in front of him is the son of the seventh prince.
Perhaps the old emperor's eyesight was dim and he missed his son who died young too much, so he randomly found someone to identify as his grandson.
In the main hall, discussions arose one after another.
The wise king was content. He liked to stir up trouble, especially causing a bloody storm in the court. Watching them fight among themselves made him feel comfortable and happy.
Even if Bai Yuxian is really Bai Xiaojin's son, as the emperor's uncle, he still has to tell lies. He still doesn't believe that he can't cure a self-righteous young man.
Someone else among the ministers said loudly, "Your Majesty, you are of royal blood and have a noble status. Please think twice."
The old emperor looked at Prince Zhang and suddenly asked, "You are questioning everything in your words. Are you trying to say that I am old and my eyesight is not working well?"
The ministers were silent, and no one dared to speak nonsense for fear of being held accountable.
Although the old emperor is old, his ability to deal with people is still the same as before. The courtiers below are all old-fashioned and they all like to stir up trouble, but when things happen to them, they panic and run away.
The old emperor looked at his grandson, expecting that the child would say a word, but unexpectedly he remained silent, as if it had nothing to do with him.
It seems that one is less worried than the other.
The old emperor waved his hand and told everyone to disperse.
Bai Yuxian followed the ministers to leave. When he was walking out, Eunuch Li, who was waiting beside the old emperor, came out and shouted, "Prince, please stay, the emperor has invited you."
Bai Yuxian paused, nodded, and immediately followed Eunuch Li to the imperial study.
The old emperor was sitting in the dragon chair, with a look of fatigue on his face. He asked, "Xian'er doesn't want to say anything?"
Bai Yuxian answered respectfully, "Your Majesty, your grandson doesn't know what to say?"
"Hmph, you can bear it. It's not like I haven't thought about today's situation, but I didn't know that your uncle is so restless."
Bai Yuxian said slowly, "Uncle Huang is right."
"Then you think that you should be treated as an insignificant person?"
Bai Yuxian had nothing to say. It had nothing to do with it. It was not what the emperor said.
Over the years, King Duan and King Xian have been waiting for the aging man to abdicate in favor of a worthy person.
But this old man is very tough, and he has survived until now.
King Duan and King Xian endured it, thinking every day that after two years, the old man would have to explain, and who would win the throne would be revealed soon.
However, no one expected that Bai Yuxian would fall from the sky, and his arrival would make the two princes who coveted the throne feel threatened.
After all, the old emperor still could not forget his most beloved son Bai Xiaojin.
When Bai Xiaojin was around, the old emperor paid most attention to the idle prince. The seventh prince had no great ambitions, but he was very smart, and he was a resourceful man with both literary and military skills.
It's a pity that great wisdom must be damaged. The seventh prince died young. No matter how smart he was, he died young. He had been dead for decades, and now a son appeared.
King Duan and King Xian were about to faint with anger.
The old emperor asked, "What are your plans? Why don't you want to live in the palace?"
Bai Yuxian honestly explained the reason, "There are many rules in the palace, but it is better to have more freedom outside."
"If you want freedom, you still need this country."
"Grandpa Huang's words are serious. Your grandson hopes that you will see the world's oceans and rivers clear."
"You are saying that the country of Lu is not peaceful now."
"Grandpa Huang, you are making a fool of yourself every step of the way. Even the emperor and his grandson dare not speak anymore." Bai Yuxian kept confronting the old man, and he looked at the pit head below and thought, you are really good, send people to find me, and another one comes back.
Jin dug a hole for me, what does that mean?
Suddenly, I seem to understand my biological father. My father must have been in a lot of pain back then. On the one hand, he had to obey the old man's arrangements, but on the other hand, he had to be careful with his words and deeds to avoid being caught by others, and he would accidentally fall into the trap of seeking power and throne.
