Actually, the Bai family didn't become strong because of Empress Wenming; rather, it was because the Bai family was strong that they chose a woman from their family, and then they became even stronger.
After that, the Bai family became one of the top families.
Because Empress Wenming was in charge, the Bai family was not granted the title of king, but the Duke of Qin became the most powerful.
The Bai family has two dukes and seven marquises; going further would be too much trouble.
The Bai family has more than a dozen branches, each with its own unique story, much like the Grand Princess of Chu.
Bai Zilong was considered incompetent; what about Bai Pengju's branch?
How is a family defined?
Bai Yi handed over the family genealogy.
The Bai family has caused a huge uproar!
It's truly Bai Yi's fault for being incompetent! This is going to ruin the Bai family!
What's wrong with the Bai family now? If it's bad, then let it get better! What Bai Yi did makes him a sinner for all time!
Several people impulsively cursed the emperor: "Is this the result you wanted?" They cursed Bai Yi: "What benefit did you get from doing this? You don't deserve the surname Bai!"
Huan Yue came over and beat all the impulsive ones to death.
Only then did some people realize what was happening. It was like the emperor wanting to suppress the Bai family, and Bai Yi currying favor with the emperor. This didn't seem so strange.
This is intolerable! A group of women rushed over and started cursing the emperor!
"You are ungrateful! If it weren't for the Bai family, would you be where you are today?"
Huan Yue killed them all.
When one is worth ten, it's not a simple matter, just like killing ten mosquitoes isn't a big deal.
The Bai family was large, and in their anger, they managed to completely humiliate them!
The young people were furious!
They all pounced on Huan Yue, and another piece of him died.
There were always those who had never seen Huan Yue in action, but now that they had, they were quiet.
Huan Yue stepped down, and the palace maids tidied her up. Yu Zhai was still as noble and beautiful as ever.
Bai Yi was still holding the family genealogy.
Many members of the Bai family wept bitterly! The tide has truly turned!
Some people are unwilling, and many people like to use the Bai family's name, but if the sage wants to, it seems that the Bai family cannot withstand it.
Today, they are not afraid to take the blame, so they let the eunuch take over the family genealogy and call him "Bai Zongyuan".
Bai Yi's eldest son, Bai Zongyuan, was only in his early twenties. As the eldest son of the Bai family, he had a heavy responsibility. He had a good appearance and knelt down.
The Emperor decrees: "Bai Yi is promoted to Prince of Guangling and given time to recuperate. Bai Zongyuan inherits the title of Duke of Qin. The original family genealogy should be properly organized and divided accordingly. The direct descendants will be retained, and you will succeed him as the head of the clan. Bai Fu is posthumously granted the title of Prince of Guangling, and the Lady Dowager of Qin is promoted to the title of Dowager Princess of Guangling."
Bai Yi's mother came out and cried loudly: "I am a woman who deserves to die. Bai Fu died because of his hard work for the Bai family. Now my son is finally free. His Majesty has allowed me to go and accompany Bai Fu."
Huan Yue came over and helped the old lady up.
The old lady wouldn't get up.
Huan Yue pulled him up: "It's not your fault, why do you want to die? Those shameless people are all alive and well, we have to watch them die first."
The old lady had no choice: "I'm sorry to the Bai family."
Huan Yue said, "You have nothing to apologize for. The Bai family's unworthy descendants are not just your problem."
The old lady said, "I haven't done a good job as a matriarch."
Huan Yue said, "I am young and only know that the merits of the Bai family outweigh their faults and their praise outweighs their criticisms. Human strength has its limits. As long as we have done our best, we can have a clear conscience. Those descendants are all in their fifties and sixties and you still have to take responsibility for them. Will they listen to you? We cannot die in vain."
Looking at Bai Yi now, shouldn't you go and persuade his mother?
Bai Yi was at a loss; if his mother died, he would be unfilial.
He has already wronged the Bai family; if he wrongs his mother as well, he will have no face to die.
Bai Zongyuan was still young, so the responsibility was given to him.
Everyone was still in shock at Bai Yi's investiture as a king.
If betraying the Bai family could earn one a kingship, selling oneself to the Great Stone Kingdom might not be so easy.
With this grand gesture, the Bai family will definitely benefit more from this in the Great Zhao than in the Great Shi Kingdom.
Bai Zongyuan inherited the title at such a young age. And it wasn't a proper inheritance; his father was made a prince.
As long as the direct descendants of the Bai family exist, Empress Wenming's spirit will remain.
The collateral branches can no longer interfere with the direct line.
The emperor then issued another decree: "I have recently been feeling that I lack energy and am getting old."
Everyone was so frightened that they immediately knelt down!
Those in the Bai family who haven't made a decision yet, or who are unwilling, should quickly kneel down!
Without waiting for advice, he said, "Build the Yongshou Palace in Yichun Garden and the Wanshou Palace behind Taiye Pond. Once they are completed, I will enjoy my old age. Bai Yi will come and have tea with me, and we can also cultivate some land."
Should Bai Yi accept the imperial decree or not?
The King of Wu thought to himself, "He's still young; even his brother thinks he's old. It's quite an achievement to have a grandson!"
Thinking of his eldest grandson, the emperor issued another decree: "Build the Longju Palace next to the Yongshou Palace."
Okay, everyone knows now.
Thinking about it now: "Let's build another Phoenix Palace."
Xie Zhen thought to himself that the Phoenix Chick Palace was just a side project, while the Dragon Steed Palace was built for his nephew.
Why did the emperor need a separate palace to raise his grandson? That's what treatment and status mean!
The imperial grandson naturally has a group of people and needs his own private space.
Others can just squeeze in. Yichun Garden is right behind the palace, and Wanshou Palace is even closer.
This must have been built for the retired emperor?
The emperor wants to become the retired emperor!
This signal is too strong!
No matter how many years later.
Miss Fan burst into tears!
It felt particularly eerie inside the Linde Hall!
The old lady of the Bai family was filled with mixed feelings. Her own affairs were nothing compared to the emperor's. She figured the emperor probably received far more attention than the Bai family.
Bai Yi's wife felt relieved to be taking care of her mother-in-law, and could finally give up her hopes of having an affair with the emperor.
The emperor is going to become the retired emperor, so even if he becomes the empress dowager, he can't stay in the central palace. Although the empress dowager can suppress the central palace, it's still not the same. Anyway, don't overthink it.
As for having designs on the Crown Prince, he looks down on the Crown Princess?
Bai Yi thought about how many people were worthy of the Crown Princess's slaps.
Besides, the emperor's downfall was due to the death of his first wife, which led to the downfall of Lady Dong. The crown prince and his consort are doing well; anyone who tries to depose the consort is courting death.
Given how much the Emperor dotes on his eldest grandson, the Crown Princess will likely be fine as long as she doesn't plot a rebellion.
Xie Mi felt that since the emperor was so focused on raising his grandson, he couldn't possibly ignore it; on the contrary, he would interfere even more. It would take at least a decade or more to raise his grandson properly.
Therefore, everyone should think less about it for the next ten years or so.
In a decade or so, the crown prince will be of good age, and the imperial grandson will have grown up.
The Great Stone Kingdom can just relax and go to sleep.
Therefore, Xie Mi still admired the Imperial Uncle!
Miss Fan cried more and more miserably, and there were several others crying as well.
Yan Boxuan didn't quite understand.
Xie Cao reacted quickly: "Let's go play at Yichun Garden!"
Yan Boxuan exclaimed, "Let's go play at Yichun Garden!"
Xie Gong also wanted to go.
Yan Boxuan shouted, "Take Shitou with you. Where's Shitou?"
The emperor shouted, "Bring me my eldest grandson!"
Huan Yue's story is too complex to explain in a few words.
Xie Zhou, holding his son, told his grandfather that the Dragon Horse Palace was probably finished. Would it no longer be in the Eastern Palace?
The Crown Prince is the heir apparent, so will Longju Palace be the grandson of the emperor?
The emperor, holding his eldest grandson, was overjoyed: "How many horses should we raise now? I'll take you to choose one another day."
Yan Boxuan shouted, "Grandfather, I'm going too!"
Hachiro: "Me!"
Jiulang: "My son..."
Xie Cao shouted, "Grandfather, and me!" He then called to the King of Wu, "Grandfather, bring our horses too! I want to ride the biggest one!"
