Chapter 322 Confrontation

The Southern Qi Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and his deep and dark eyes stared at the young prince standing below.

The Southern Qi Emperor was very unfamiliar with this son, and even a little confused.

"Bring it up."

The emperor gave an order, and the eunuch beside him immediately walked over and handed the book to him.

When the book was opened, it was densely packed with records of more than a dozen officials accepting gifts at the banquet, and it was stated that there were many witnesses.

In particular, these officials were all important officials in the court, and there were a few that he could not even touch.

Prime Minister Lin Qingzhi, Loyal and Brave Marquis Wei Tianming

Each of them was a powerful person.

The worst ones were all high-ranking officials above the third rank.

Of course, for Baili Yunhe, he was too lazy to waste time investigating those below the third rank.

If he was going to do something, he would do it with the toughest bones.

The two Yushi saw that the emperor was holding the book and reading it for a long time, and they didn't dare to speak for a while, and lowered their heads like quails.

After a long while, Emperor Nanqi raised his head and looked at Baili Yunhe seriously and said: "Although there are laws, this kind of banquet and congratulatory gift can be regarded as a tradition. I think that the law is nothing more than human feelings, and there is no need to pursue such things."

Baili Yunhe seemed to have known that Emperor Nanqi would say this, and the corners of his mouth raised a little arc: "Since your father said so, then these two Yushi impeached your son..."

The corners of the two Yushi's mouth twitched. He

immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Since the emperor thinks so, then the prince's behavior is understandable. We are the ones who said too much."

Emperor Nanqi nodded and decided to make a big deal out of a small matter.

He saw that Baili Yunhe took out the book to tell him that if he wanted to touch him, the prince, he had to touch all the people on the book first.

But even if he was the emperor, he couldn't touch so many people on the book . If he

did, the whole court would be restless for the next year, because such a small matter was unnecessary. Which minister in the court was not greedy? As long as things were done well, he, the emperor, could only turn a blind eye.

He brought up this matter today because he wanted to control his son, hoping that he would be more obedient and sensible, and not play some tricks behind his back. As a result, he was severely defeated. Baili

Yunhe stopped when he saw that he was ahead: "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

The Emperor of Nanqi frowned and suddenly asked: "You just came back, what do you want so much money for?"

Baili Yunhe laughed softly and said: "You can't ask your son this question, you should ask the national teacher."

After this, the Emperor of Nanqi was a little confused.

"Ask the Imperial Master?"

Baili Yunhe: "That's right. Yunhe wants to buy a martial arts disciple of the Imperial Master as a bodyguard. The Imperial Master offers a million taels of silver."

"This is ridiculous!"

The Southern Qi Emperor couldn't help but frown. After a scolding, he scolded: "Is a bodyguard worth a million taels of silver?"

Baili Yunhe said: "What if this person was once a lifesaver of my son? Do you think that my son's life is not worth a million taels of silver?"

His words made the Southern Qi Emperor speechless.

If Baili Yunhe wanted to rescue his benefactor from the hands of the Imperial Master, then this amount of silver is indeed not too much.

Just

"Let someone bring the Imperial Master here!"

"Yes!"

The little eunuch immediately went to report the news.

Baili Yunhe stood there calmly, not even the corner of his clothes fluttered.

His posture was straight, as tall as a pine tree, and his temperament was as gentle as a bamboo.

The old imperial teacher was about to fall asleep, and he was brought to the emperor in the middle of the night. He didn't react for a while.

When he walked into the hall, he saw the prince whom

he had just met last night. The reason why Baili Yunhe revealed all this was because the Emperor of Nanqi knew about the fact that he sent someone to call the old imperial teacher to the East Palace yesterday, and he was curious about what the two discussed last night.

Even if he didn't say it clearly, Baili Yunhe knew that the Emperor of Nanqi had already begun to suspect him, and even added a lot of people to follow him.

The old imperial teacher had no idea what was going on, so he went into the palace and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am here to see you!"

Emperor Nanqi said in a deep voice: "The prince said that he spent one million taels to buy a bodyguard from you, is that true?"

A look of astonishment flashed across the old imperial teacher's eyes, and he quietly glanced at the calm prince beside him, his mind slightly confused.

"It is true."

At this point, if he did not admit it, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Emperor Nanqi narrowed his eyes: "The imperial teacher is really a lion who opens his mouth, and this mouth is one million taels of silver." The

old imperial teacher quickly explained.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. There is another reason. This child was adopted by the poor monk in Beiling. The poor monk did not want him to suffer, so he proposed such high conditions. The purpose was to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince give up and give up the idea of ​​asking for the child. Who knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed immediately, and the poor monk was helpless."

With these words, he easily pushed all the responsibilities onto Baili Yunhe.

Baili Yunhe did not refute, but just lowered his head and waited for the next words of Emperor Nanqi.

After listening to the old national teacher's explanation, Emperor Nanqi seemed to be thinking about something, and a strange color flashed across his dignified and steady face.

"Grandmaster, the prince just wants a person from you. A million taels of silver is really too much. Why don't you let that person stay with the prince for my sake? The prince is short of manpower now. Your adopted son will have a bright future if he follows the prince." The

old grandmaster's mouth twitched.

He was almost angry to death.

But now the Emperor of Southern Qi has spoken. If he doesn't agree, it means he doesn't give the emperor face.

His heart was full of anger. The old grandmaster concealed the flash of haze in his eyes and said with his eyes lowered: "Old minister, I obey your command."

Baili Yunhe felt relieved when he saw the old imperial master suffering.

The two of them left the Yangxin Palace almost together. After they walked out of the gate, the old imperial master said nothing. His slightly cloudy eyes became even darker. The wrinkles on his haggard face made him look even more haggard. However, his bald head was as smooth and shiny as ever, and it glowed a little under the moonlight.

Seeing that the old monk didn't say anything, Baili Yunhe couldn't help laughing: "Is the Imperial Master angry?"

The old Imperial Master snorted coldly: "I dare not."

"Why are you leaving so quickly? I want to talk to you."

Hearing Baili Yunhe say this, the old Imperial Master's eyes were filled with hidden anger. He stopped and stood in an empty corridor in the palace. He stopped and asked: "I wonder what kind of medicine is the Crown Prince selling this time?"
