Chapter 556
How could Zuo Pingdao not know this truth, but today is different from the past. The Shaoqing who knows so many of his secrets is in the hands of others. He can certainly tell the truth to His Majesty, but that is a lose-lose move, and he has been hesitating.
Men always have a natural predatory nature towards things they cannot obtain. His Majesty did the same to Mrs. Rong, and he did the same to Xiao Lingyao.
Power and color are the rewards for the winner.
But His Majesty, the Nine-Fifth Supreme, still didn’t get it.
There are too many secrets in the Zuo family, not just the one about his intention to hide the princess. Yi Zifeng couldn't bear to confess the murder of his wife and concubines, but he also made mistakes. The painter hired by Bai Lianzhou lost his life.
trace.
Not only that, will Yi Zifeng explain more? A look of violence flashed across Zuo Pingdao's eyes.
He never thought that provoking Xiao Lingyao would put the Zuo family in danger.
"You don't want to pursue the matter in the secret room of the Ministry of Justice." Bai Beitang said maliciously for some unknown reason: "Your father is so ill that he can't seem to speak. Your grandfather doesn't care about the affairs of the court anymore. Don't do anything about this anymore."
It’s better to ask more.”
Zuo Pingdao's father was half paralyzed on the bed after a serious illness. His grandfather also had the merit of serving the dragon. Now that he is old, after his grandson officially ascended the position of minister of Dali Temple, he did not pay much attention to world affairs. The Zuo family seems to be based on Zuo Pingdao.
Equality is respected.
His mother is also a daughter of a noble family, and now she is serving her sick husband. The couple lives in a villa. However, there is a smile on Bai Beitang's lips. Mr. Zuo also knows that his noble-looking mother has been secretly communicating with others.
kindness.
But this Master Zuo wants to cover up his mother and make her famous. Hey, this is an aristocratic family. There are many times more dirty things than ordinary people's families. He wants to know His Majesty's secrets from himself. This is
Zuo Pingdao is so courageous!
Bai Beitang smiled sinisterly: "Master Zuo is a smart man, why do you want to be a fool now?"
"What Deputy Prime Minister Bai said is wrong. Both of you and I are the swords used by His Majesty," Zuo Pingdao looked at the table quietly and smiled coldly: "If I am not wrong, Deputy Prime Minister Bai will ask for his resignation tomorrow."
Will you step down as deputy prime minister to protect the Bai family?"
Bai Beitang's heart skipped a beat, and his fingers that had just written the memorial were hot, and he licked his lips involuntarily. Zuo Pingdao could easily see into other people's thoughts, but he asked himself to step down from the position of deputy prime minister in the memorial to show his loyalty, and also intended to be with Tang.
Make a complete cut.
As for whether His Majesty wants to investigate the old case of Prime Minister Tang, and how much the Bai family will be involved, this is not something he can control. I just ask Your Majesty to protect the Bai family for the sake of his resignation!
Zuo Pingdao actually glimpsed his inner plan at a glance, which made Bai Beitang's hair stand on end!
If his son had this ability, why would he use this trick to retreat in order to advance? Why!
"Forgive me for speaking frankly, your move is not advisable." Zuo Pingdao said: "Your Majesty's decree has been spread, and the Prime Minister must have known it. The conviction is to give an explanation for the death of Prime Minister Tang, so that he will change from an unjust death to a fear of crime."
They are all in the officialdom, how can they not see through this mystery?
"Today, you only took away half of your wealth and left a glimmer of hope for your son. This is Your Majesty's mercy. Such mercy is not so much for the common people as it is for all the aristocratic families to see. But if you report it like this
, which is a bit redundant.”
"Your Majesty is still distracted. If you don't agree, then Your Majesty is being coerced by you. This knot is difficult to resolve. If you agree, wouldn't this make other aristocratic families feel chilly, thinking that Your Majesty is going to kill them all, and all the previous kindness and power have been in vain?
.”
Zuo Pingdao spoke leisurely, with no fluctuation in his eyes: "Does Deputy Prime Minister Bai really want to perform the performance tomorrow?"
Bai Beitang broke into cold sweat at what he said. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "Why do you need to remind me of the truth? Mr. Zuo is very proud of himself now. His Majesty loves him very much. He is on par with Prime Minister Song."
"The official is just sharing your worries. The emperor is unpredictable and just wants to protect himself." Zuo Pingdao said: "My grandfather is old and my father is seriously ill. The Zuo family can only support the official. Seeing the end of Prime Minister Tang,
The subordinate is uneasy."
Bai Beitang was enlightened, he was trying to show his good will!
He pinched his fingers together, just as Zuo Pingdao said, he was going to take the initiative to submit a letter, but now he regretted it!
Zuo Pingdao was right. What His Majesty is thinking about most now is balance. His move may have been a mistake but he was smart. He laughed and was not at all dissatisfied with Zuo Pingdao who came to visit him late at night.
"Lord Zuo, please remind me that we don't have to worry about the memorial. We, the Bai family, will just hang our necks and wait for His Majesty to deal with it. It won't be anything troublesome." Bai Beitang felt relieved, and finally looked at Zuo Pingdao with some relief.
Eagerly: "I would also like to thank Mr. Zuo for your suggestions."
"How dare I ask you to mention something?" Zuo Pingdao's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he said directly: "If the Ministry of Punishment wants to build a darkroom, it must report it to the Ministry of Works. After approval, money will be transferred from the Ministry of Household Affairs. I dare to check it out.
, the Ministry of Industry has no record.”
"You are so brave!" Bai Beitang's heart was frightened just after he relaxed: "This secret room can make Tang Xiang even die of despair. Do you know the importance of it? Even I only know its existence, not its contents.
What secrets are hidden?"
"The truth is, I just went back to convey a message to His Majesty!" Bai Beitang told the truth in a hurry: "You advised me not to do anything unnecessary, but you went to check the secret room yourself. Are you crazy?"
Zuo Pingdao smiled, so it turned out that he was just conveying a message for His Majesty. Just now he pretended to be an insider and wanted to get away with it. This would have revealed his identity.
"How can I, my official, have time to investigate? I've been so tired recently that I haven't even been back to my residence a few times." Zuo Pingdao responded with a smile: "I just feel that it is so secretive that it will not be recorded publicly."
"You defrauded me?!" Bai Beitang's gratitude to Zuo Pingdao was gone. This man named Zuo used the same tactics used to deal with criminals on him!
Zuo Pingdao stood up and saluted calmly: "I'm offended."
"That's all." Bai Beitang's chest rose and fell a few times before he thought about it. The book won't be published tomorrow, so Zuo Pingdao finally woke him up.
"Xiaguan is just a rabbit and a fox. He wants to protect himself in advance." A sinister light flashed in Zuo Pingdao's eyes: "In order to prevent your majesty from abandoning the sharp blade of Xiaguan one day, you must find some chips for yourself."
Qiluo Villa and the lady were also one of his bargaining chips. Things in this world cannot always be generalized. Zuo Pingdao thought viciously that Qin Feng wanted to use the evidence of Zuo's family and his crimes against him. How could he lose to that bastard!
The two of them hit it off immediately. Bai Beitang touched his nose and said, "There is indeed something fishy about this secret room. It turns out that my mentor is such a powerful person. He can even withstand the crime of murdering the prince and being involved in treason. Why do you hear this secret room?"
My heart is as gray as death.”
