Chapter 277 [Fortresses are broken from the inside]
Bai Wugeng sighed slightly, "Last time I went to Shubaijiazhuang and personally recruited this Baizi. What is the Bai tribe in Yishi Village? I ordered people to check the family's genealogy. The ancestors of this line are from the Bai family. The bloodline is not pure. But I still promised the boy with the respect of the head of the family that as long as he and his clan members are willing to recognize their ancestors, I personally requested him in front of the Ancestral Hall to merge with the Bai family's direct line. How much face is this? It is an exception that my Bai family has never had before, but how did that boy do it? He actually tore the letters in public! There is no clan leader in his eyes, and he is extremely arrogant!"
"I think this is not arrogant. How many people who are truly capable are not arrogant? The Bai family in Yishi Village has been trapped in the mountains for many years. Bai Zuo Geng and his tribe have suffered a lot. However, my Yongqian Bai family has never cared about it and helped them. Just think that this clan does not exist, it is inevitable that people will have resentment..."
"Xijun, the children born in the world are in the same situation. It's not just his family who are neglected. Do you still blame me for this?"
"Yes, my husband is right. This is the case with all the children born in the world, but how many Bai Zuo is there in the world? My husband's pain is so powerful that the Bai family was back then, but now it has become the weakest branch among the three families of Meng Xi. Husband shouldn't have no idea what my brother is thinking? If this continues, I'm afraid that in a few decades, the Bai family will be annexed by the Meng Xi and the two families."
"Meng Xibai and the three families have had a good relationship with each other for many years, so why don't you stop like this? Xijun, you are too pessimistic..." Bai Wugeng was stunned by his words, but he still shook his head.
"I'm afraid my husband is more pessimistic than me. You are not unclear about my brother's methods. Last year, when the drought was severe, how could my land be so severely affected? There are also several shops in Liyang. If he hadn't been making trouble in secret, how could he have been unable to make ends meet? Husband, you have been withstood for many years. Are you still forced by my brother to be his scapegoat?" The married girl was the water splashed out. Bai Meng and Bai Wugeng had been married for 18 years, and there was only her husband and children in her eyes.
"Xijun, please stop talking, my mind is very messed up..."
"Husband, even the Zhang family has handed over the land. Can you still be stronger than Zhang Feng? The Bai family and the Mengxi family are different. My father had the most friendship with his ancestors back then and was the Grand Tutor of the current emperor for two years. The emperor was afraid of the Mengxi family. Even if they handed over the land, their strength would still be cut off, but the Bai family is different..."
Bai Meng advised her husband patiently: "In my eyes, my husband is the best man in the old Qin Dynasty. He has favored him for eighteen years. I always think of rewards. Even if I am scolded by my husband today, I must say! Wei Yang's reform is a crisis and a good opportunity. The Mengxi tribes wanted to compete with the ruler, but they were afraid that they would lose sooner or later. Now, the Bai family should immediately break away from the alliance of the three families and be loyal to the emperor. Even if they don't have any face, they should recognize Bai Zuo even more. He is the number one popular person in the eyes of the emperor. The great benefactor of the Ying family!"
"Meng Xibai's three families have been in good relationship for hundreds of years and share weal and woe. You... do you want me to betray the alliance of the three families? Xijun, Meng Shuangcheng is your biological brother, and he has always loved you the most. You..."
"I am a member of the Bai family now, so naturally I have to consider everything for the Bai family. Can't I think about my parents' family?" Bai Meng sighed slightly, "My husband, don't hesitate anymore, there is a huge opportunity now..."
"Mr. Xi, who did you meet? Although you are smart and smart, it is difficult to decide such a big thing. Someone must have influenced you. Is it the Madam?"
When he entered Liyang the last time, Bai Meng followed him into the palace to meet the wife of the Grandma Li Jiang, so Bai Wu Geng would naturally have some doubts.
"Of course it's not the lady, but Wei Yang gave me a letter. Please read it..."
"Wei Yang passed the letter to you?" Bai Wugeng was very dissatisfied and wanted to not read it, but what his wife said just now was also the issue he considered the most during this period. If the Bai family continued to follow the Mengxi family and make trouble, they would be afraid that the end would be miserable. Therefore, they just hesitated a little and opened the letter to read it. After seeing the contents of the letter, they were both happy and worried, and they would not stop for a moment.
"What a powerful Wei Yang, I just think he is a reckless and rude person. I didn't expect that he would have such a means. This letter could be passed through me and handed to you. It can be seen that the Bai family is all in his eyes and ears..." Bai Wugeng snorted coldly, and a hint of chill flashed in his heart. He didn't know that his wife was dissatisfied with the Mengxi family, but Wei Yang knew about it. This shows that the Bai family had been under the surveillance of others.
Actually, this is really wrong to Wei Yang. He is just the Zuo Shuchang of Ying Quliang Xinli. He has a deep foundation in Lao Qin. How could he have such a despicable means? Speaking of the person who cares most about Yongmei Bai's family, of course, Bai Zuogeng from Fengming Academy. In fact, Bai Dong didn't do much, but just went to Jingjian a few times and "donated" some activity funds to Jingjian's department. There is Lao Qin's first intelligence agency assistant, and Bai Dong has money. It's not a matter of time to find out that the Yongmei Bai family is not a matter of minutes? Not to mention that Bai Meng's family had been disgusted with the Mengxi and the two families, it was just that a male dog in the Bai family got a bitch on the spring day. Bai Dong knew very well whether the bitch was pregnant or not.
Could it be that Wei Yang is a smart person who knows to start from the enemy's fortress? Bai Dong doesn't care about revealing some information to Wei Yang. If he doesn't know what to do, he is not worthy of being the Minister of Reform of Lao Qin.
"The greater the ability of Wei Yang, the more stable the position of the emperor, the better the husband makes decisions?"
Bai Meng smiled and said, "It's hard for Wei Yang to be interested. He asked for ten places from Bai Dong, saying that he could give our family one or two. The academy's enrollment this time was not public. It is said that there are only thirty places to meet the noble families of the Qin Dynasty. Husband, Bai Dong has made great plans. In the future, the students who came out of Fengming Academy will control the Qin Dynasty and even influence the world one day... Let Dang'er meet these "good classmates" early, and the benefits to the Bai family are simply uncalculable."
Bai Wugeng's eyes lit up, and hesitated to look at his wife, but hesitated: "You ask me to think about it again..."
"There is not much time left. Wei Yang said in his letter that in addition to giving these ten places to my family, some direct descendants of the Meng family and Xi family will also get them. You also know how tragic it is for the Meng Xi family to compete for the position of head of the family. These direct descendants do not inherit the rights of the family, but it does not mean that they have no strength..."
"What a vicious method. Wei Yang is going to completely overthrow the three families of Meng Xibai. I am afraid that the boy Bai Dong's idea is indispensable behind it!"
"In the future, we can't say that they are kids. If they want to call Bai Zi, Bai Zuo Geng... We don't have to worry about whether Bai Zi wants to attack Mengxi and Wei Yang wants to attack. Anyway, it's all the king's intention. After all, Lao Qin's orthodox is still the king's superior. Wei Yang has already made it clear that the children of Mengxi and the two families will express their attitude as soon as they enter the academy. But after all, they are not the heads of the family. If the husband participates in the grand ceremony as head of the family, after pacifying the two families of Mengxi, my Bai family will be the biggest beneficiary. The opposition force of Mengxi and the two families is far inferior to us."
"But if I want to give up Itian, I have to give up those slaves. Will my Bai family warrior agree?"
"They can't agree. Wei Yang said that if the husband is interested, he would personally ask the king to give the title of warrior in my clan. Although Jingtian is abandoned, after pacifying the two Mengxi families, most of the fiefs of the two Mengxi families will be converted into my Bai family. Although they have become rented land, the area is twice or even three times that of today! It's just that he is giving up his status as a slave noble. Why should the husband hesitate so much? Husband, now the power of Lao Qin is in the hands of the king. In the future Fengming Academy, can't he see clearly with his husband's talent?"
"When will my children enter the academy?"
"Wei Yang promised that after pacifying the Mengxi tribes, the emperor would personally reward the Bai family. At that time, my children and opponents of the Mengxi tribes will receive his quota recommendation, enter the academy and become a student of Baizi!"
"Mr. Xi, you are really my virtuous wife! Well, in order to have a glimmer of life, the Bai family has to let down the Mengxi tribes! You reply to Shuwei Yang for me, and I want to see you personally, and ask Bai Zi to be by my side!"
PS: Ps: Today I was on the big seal. The most precious and biggest recommendation is that I should have four updates. But Guangdao really couldn't fight today. I was a little excited yesterday, but I fell asleep until after four o'clock in the morning (some readers always thought that Guangdao was talking lies to find reasons, but I really didn't! Bad sleep is an old problem...) I took a good night's sleep during the day, and thought about how I could make three chapters, but I really couldn't stand it. Instead of writing hard, I'd better treat it normally. I'll take a shower, go to bed early, and strive for the fourth update tomorrow!
Chapter completed!
