A lot had happened in the past few days, and Baili Qinru knew all about it. She also knew that her good days were numbered. It wouldn't be long before she would marry either the prince of Beidan or the prince of Yue.
"Mother, if I ask Father, will he not send me to marry?" Baili Qinru had asked this question countless times. Although the answer she received was always the same, she still couldn't help asking.
"We must form an alliance with one country and reach a peace agreement. Otherwise, the two countries will attack together... Ru'er, this is fate!" Doesn't she know who Baili Tang is?
Don't think that Baili Tang did so many things, including proposing personal income tax, abolishing the prime minister system, and reorganizing the imperial guards... all for the purpose of making his throne more secure!
My silly daughter, you would rather believe that Empress Dowager Lin is a good person than believe this man!
Because he is the most ruthless man in this world!
In recent days, Chao Man'er, who had caused such a disaster, had been quietly hiding in Prince An's mansion, not daring to show her face. She would wait a few days until the situation had calmed down—still not daring to show her face.
The doctors in Jingyang City were suddenly surprised to find that their business had skyrocketed - there were suddenly nearly 10,000 "wounded people" with bruised faces and noses in the entire capital.
Everyone was delighted.
What Baili Tang did was to indirectly give those soldiers who usually performed their duties conscientiously and practiced martial arts a chance to vent their anger and get promoted!
After nightfall, the challenge was over.
Not all of them challenged the fight, but there were probably more than 80,000 people. The rest of the people acted as referees—someone had to stop the fight to prevent it from getting lost.
The soldiers will compete first, and they will do it together, since the venue is big enough.
Whoever loses will be eliminated on the spot.
Of course, the losers were all weak. Even if you'd been wronged and weren't strong enough, you couldn't blame anyone for being eliminated. However, soldiers from humble backgrounds were more likely to win, accounting for 70%!
This means that those who were beaten badly were all people with "backgrounds." How about these people with backgrounds retaliating afterwards?
How could Ye Chao not have thought of this? He made it clear on the spot that anyone who dared to retaliate would be offending him, Ye Chao, and even more so His Majesty! If you don't believe me, you can give it a try!
This fight eliminated more than 50,000 people!
But that's not the point. The point is that one captain was in charge of one hundred soldiers, and there were two thousand captains in total. But one thousand five hundred and four of them were beaten into pig heads because they were not strong enough!
Ye Chao, Ye Hongxue, Meng Fang and others were speechless!
Even so, Dewey still has the nerve to pretend to be sick and not come to court?
You, Dewey, are on par with Xue Fan!
They naturally knew that the Imperial Guards were cowardly, but they never knew that they could be so cowardly!
Talented people are severely suppressed, while incompetent people act arrogantly!
Baili Tang's punishment for Dewey was to retire and return home. He didn't hit him, scold him, or impose any other punishment. Dewey didn't leave either. He just watched. He watched in shame.
After this incident, Dewey seemed to have aged several years. After the competition, he walked away with heavy steps. He said bitterly, "Since ancient times, everyone has to die. Let me leave my loyalty to shine in history! In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent! If everyone is like us, only caring about themselves and shrinking from fear, then is there any hope for this country?"
He didn't care whether Baili Tang did this to consolidate his throne. Suddenly, he couldn't feel any hatred towards Baili Tang.
Is the emperor, who has been patient for many years, finally going to take action against certain people?
The next day, after breakfast, Ye Hongxue took the initiative to go into the palace to be her poop scooper.
Xiao Jiao was worried: "General, do you want me to accompany you to the palace?"
"Don't! Otherwise, who knows what else he'll do to me!"
"General, Xiaojiao feels that he must be interested in you. Otherwise, as the ruler of a country with so many affairs to attend to, there is no need for him to embarrass a little woman like you, right?"
"Hmph! I'd rather believe that there is true love in the brothel!" I also don't want to believe that the tyrant emperor is interested in her and just wants to take revenge on her!
In this way, Ye Hongxue began to become a poop scooper in the palace - she felt strange yesterday, when did the palace have such a job?
Eunuch Yang didn't need to show up in person. He only needed to order someone to arrange for Ye Hongxue to go to the laundry department and pour night incense for the palace servants there. It was far away from Jingyang Palace!
Baili Tang’s clothes would not be taken there to be washed, but would be washed in Jingyang Palace.
Therefore, it was almost impossible for Ye Hongxue to meet Baili Tang.
The strange thing was that none of Baili Tang's concubines would provoke her, and the palace maids and eunuchs would stay away from her. Even if Ye Hongxue wanted to cause trouble, she wouldn't be able to do anything.
Fortunately, the nightshade she collected was to be sent to a place very close to where Liang Qiuyu lived. It was Liang Qiuyu who wanted to turn the feces into a septic tank...
What is Liang Qiuyu doing at this moment?
She is practicing singing!
Xiaolian, Erhu, Song Chi, Baili Yaer - the little brat, Baili Tang named him Baili Yaer, as well as the new palace maids and eunuchs, were all listening to Liang Qiuyu practice singing.
When Ye Hongxue approached, she heard it. At first, she didn't recognize Liang Qiuyu's voice: "I didn't expect that there would be such a talented woman in this deep palace!"
It was a woman playing the pipa and singing, the sound was very clear:
"Flowers fall and fly all over the sky
Who will pity me when my beauty fades and my fragrance is gone?
Gossamer Soft Line Piaochunxie
Fallen catkins lightly touch the embroidered curtains
..."
