The next day, the court was still empty. After the court, Yuncheng fulfilled his promise and continued to deliver medicine, which made these ministers complain and collapsed.
Qiao Che, on the other hand, was stopped by Bai Yutian and asked to stay in the side hall to summon him alone.
At this moment, Qiao Che was sitting on the chair in the side hall, feeling very nervous. He didn't know why Bai Yutian summoned him. Is it because the officials claimed to be ill and could not go to court? That matter had nothing to do with him at all.
ah.
In the past few days, the news about Yuncheng delivering medicine to the ministers has spread in Tailin City.
Gu Taizhong didn't want to give up just like that, so he asked the officials to continue not to go to court to see how long Bai Yutian could hold out.
Bai Yutian was also tough, and directly promoted many of his own people and asked them to take charge of things on their behalf, although they were not yet skilled in handling things and encountered many problems.
However, Bai Yu had to do everything himself, handling various political affairs and reviewing memorials personally. Although the process was very slow, it was enough to support the operation of the court.
In his free time, Bai Yutian would practice on his own, training horseback riding, archery, and practicing martial arts, which was extremely fulfilling.
I am afraid that if they do not go to court, in a few days, the positions of these ministers will be completely controlled by Bai Yutian's own people.
Things are getting more and more beyond Gu Taizhong's expectations. Who would have thought that Bai Yutian has changed so much and become so hardworking?
However, these have little to do with Qiao Che. He just surrendered to the Gu family to ensure that the Qiao family could continue.
In Tailin City, there were members of the Gu family from all walks of life, including scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, and naturally many of them committed crimes. It was because of Qiao Che that the Gu family was always safe and sound.
Soon, Bai Yutian brought Concubine Yun to the side hall and met Qiao Che.
Qiao Che was about to kneel down and salute, but Bai Yutian grabbed Qiao Che and said with a smile on his face: "My dear, there is no need to be polite, please sit down quickly."
Such a polite and virtuous corporal was completely different from Bai Yutian, who had shown great power in the court before, but it made Qiao Che a little frightened.
"Qiao Aiqing, I heard that you and the Imperial Master are very close."
Qiao Che had just sat down on his seat. When he heard these words, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down again.
"Your Majesty, many cases in the capital are reviewed by the national advisor, so we meet occasionally." Qiao Che said nervously.
The post of prime minister is vacant, and Bai Yutian's predecessor has done nothing, so this explanation is reasonable.
The national preceptor, the preceptor of a country, is already the largest official among the civil servants, equal to the prime minister.
After all, he has done a lot of things for the Gu family over the years. If Bai Yu innocently pursues the investigation, his life may not be saved.
At this time, Bai Yutian slammed the table suddenly, startling Qiao Che and causing him to kneel on the ground.
Bai Yutian sighed when he saw this, how did this Minister of the Ministry of Justice become the Minister of Justice and why was he so timid?
"Haha, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment and is in charge of legal and prison affairs. I wonder how Mr. Qiao is doing."
Qiao Che knew that this was Bai Yutian's test, so he didn't dare to make excuses at the moment, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm working hard day and night, I'm afraid I'll slack off. Major and important cases will be handled as soon as possible without any delay to ensure the safety of Tai Lin and the entire Zhou Dynasty."
and stability.”
Bai Yutian took a leisurely sip of tea and laughed softly, making Qiao Che confused.
"Qiao Aiqing, that day in the court, I asked you what the crime should be for the Imperial Master. Why did you hesitate and didn't tell me immediately?"
Hearing this, Qiao Che secretly thought something bad, his face changed drastically, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Now, no one in the court knows that Bai Yutian is going to completely confront the Gu family. As for the ministers in the Gu family camp, with Gu Taizhong here, they naturally dare to confront Bai Yutian, but if they are the only ones, how can they dare?
Offend Bai Yutian.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Imperial Guardsmen have worked hard and made great achievements, which is obvious to all. In addition, the Imperial Guardsmen are indeed worried about Your Majesty's safety..."
While Qiao Che was talking, when he saw the cold light in Bai Yutian's eyes, he immediately closed his mouth and became silent.
"Qiao Aiqing, this is not what I want to hear." Bai Yutian put down the teacup and stood up from the chair.
"Back then, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, five major families were enfeoffed as the first nobles because of their contribution to the founding of the country, and became the largest wealthy families in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Liang family was wiped out due to the rebellion a hundred years ago. The Yang family intervened in Jianghu affairs and was
After the whole family was wiped out, the Xie family withdrew from the court and now lives in seclusion and ignores worldly affairs."
"Of the five wealthy families, only the Qiao family and the Gu family are left. I don't want any of the five wealthy families to be left now."
Qiao Che looked up, and he naturally understood what Bai Yutian meant.
Bai Yutian's attitude is to fight to the death with the Gu family. After all, the Gu family only wants an emperor who can be controlled, or a puppet emperor.
There will definitely be a collision between Bai Yutian and Gu Taizhong in the end, either the Great Zhou Dynasty will change to another emperor, or the Gu family will perish.
And if the Qiao family and the Gu family are tied together, then the Qiao family will definitely be implicated.
By then, none of the five wealthy families will be left.
The Qiao family has been in decline since Qiao Che's grandfather. In order to protect the Qiao family, he joined the Gu family's camp. Now it seems that he has to carefully consider the gains and losses.
Bai Yutian and Qiao Che talked for a long time, and it wasn't until ten minutes past midnight that Qiao Che left the palace.
After Qiao Che left, Concubine Yun Gui slowly walked over, moving her lotus steps lightly, and came to Bai Yutian's side.
"Your Majesty's move should not be as simple as winning over Qiao Che, and Qiao Che is not so easy to win over."
Hearing Concubine Yun's voice, Bai Yutian turned around and looked over, his eyes full of tenderness.
He stroked Concubine Yun's pretty face with both hands and said, "My beloved concubine is really smart as ice and snow. Of course I'm not just trying to win over Qiao Che."
"Although Gu Taizhong is powerful, he is headstrong, overbearing, and very suspicious. My meeting with Qiao Che tonight will be spread to others tomorrow. Gu Taizhong will definitely meet Qiao Che by then."
"Qiao Che is indecisive and has an unstable stance. He will not reveal the specific details of his meeting with me. This will arouse Gu Taizhong's suspicion. As long as I reuse Qiao Che a little bit, there will probably be a conflict between Qiao Che and Gu Taizhong.
Centrifugal in an instant.”
Concubine Yun opened her mouth slightly and looked at Bai Yutian as if she had just met him.
Although Concubine Yun was not favored by Bai Yutian before, she could still meet her several times in the harem.
But at that time, Bai Yutian was obsessed with beauty, ignored government affairs, and looked like a coward. The difference between his performance today and that of Bai Yutian was completely different.
Could it be that he had been hiding his clumsiness before, or keeping a low profile, but why was it exposed now?
Bai Yutian ignored Concubine Yun's doubts. He had another plan. Gu Taizhong was overbearing and would not allow a person who might betray him to live in the world. There would definitely be a conflict by then.
