Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 880 Three dilemmas
The night falls, thousands of houses are lit with lights.

Bai Mingwei got on Song Chengzhang's carriage.

There is room for several people to sit in the huge carriage.

At this time, Song Chengzhang was the only one inside.

Seeing Bai Mingwei coming up, he gave Bai Mingwei a look and motioned for Bai Mingwei to sit down.

When Bai Mingwei sat down, he slowly said: "Tell me, how serious is the situation?"

Yes.

Regarding the fake envoy, there must be a back-up plan, and it couldn't be as simple as framing her for an unintentional crime.

So in front of Emperor Yuanzhen, she put all the responsibilities on Bei Yan, and used those words to temporarily stabilize Emperor Yuanzhen and the courtiers.

Otherwise, Emperor Yuan Zhen might immediately find someone to take the blame.

But in fact, the situation is far more complicated than what was said above the main hall.

She was thinking about the following situations she was most likely to encounter next.

So she explained to Song Chengzhang carefully: "Sir, no matter what the original intention of the fake envoy's plan is, he is currently in several difficulties."

Song Chengzhang looked at her seriously: "What's the dilemma?"

Bai Mingwei said: "The first dilemma is that Jing Zhaoyin, who was newly appointed today, happened to pass by the scene of the attack shortly after the envoy was attacked."

Song Chengzhang sighed, his eyes in the dim carriage filled with coldness: "This is really unlucky. If we have to find a scapegoat, Mr. Shen may be doomed."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "The second thing is that these people pretending to be envoys are probably from Yuecheng."

Song Chengzhang frowned: "The Bai family army is currently stationed in Yuecheng. If this guess is confirmed, then you will definitely be the one who takes the responsibility in the end."

Bai Mingwei continued: "The third dilemma is that some of the people who accompanied the deputy envoy to protect the envoy's team are scattered."

"There are only twelve guards accompanying the deputy envoy today. No matter how many guards are scattered outside, they will always be a trouble."

Song Chengzhang's frown showed no sign of loosening. He sat upright and put his hands on his knees, as if thinking.

"If there is a fish that slips through the net and is found by someone who is interested, the words they say will become a weapon to attack anyone."

In order to prevent Song Chengzhang from being involved in Yuan Wu's plan, Bai Mingwei concealed Yuan Wu's tricks and only informed Song Chengzhang of these three important pieces of information.

Song Chengzhang was silent for a moment and looked at Bai Mingwei.

The curtains of the moving carriage were lifted from time to time, and light fell into the carriage, illuminating his bright eyes.

"I've invited you here to help you, and I'm ready to deal with any consequences. Is there anything else you don't want me to know about?"

Bai Mingwei weighed it again and again, but still told the truth: "Sir, Yuan Xun's purpose is to alienate the relationship between your Majesty and me."

Song Chengzhang heard this without any surprise: "You are guarding the northern defense line of Dongling, and you have trained the [-] soldiers with your own hands."

"Once there is no you in the north, Beiyan will be able to break through the defenses of Dongling City and send troops southward. It is understandable that Yuan Xun would do this."

Bai Ming shook his head slightly: "Not only that, I suspect he wants to turn me into a sword wielded by His Majesty."

"So trying to break through me and thus the northern Xinjiang defense line is just a bad strategy; the best strategy is to capture Dongling without a bloody blow."

Song Chengzhang's expression changed drastically: "Girl, you can't say this nonsense!"

Bai Mingwei's voice was so calm that he seemed to have no emotion: "Master Song, you and I both know very well that if we didn't cooperate inside and outside, the five cities of Beiyan would not be destroyed so quickly."

"If it weren't for some villain, the [-] soldiers would not have died in Yinshan. Beiyan's hand would have reached Dongling long ago."

"Perhaps they have already made arrangements, and I am the finishing touch; sir, we must hold on."

Song Chengzhang sat upright: "The Queen Mother has already sent a message to some of our veterans, asking us to help you. Mingwei, you must keep the Queen Mother's heart in mind." Bai Mingwei heard the words and quickly understood Song Chengzhang the meaning of.

Song Chengzhang was telling her, for the sake of the Queen Mother, don't be incited to rebel.

After a moment of silence, Bai Ming said slightly, "Don't worry, sir."

In just four words, she said as much as a thousand words.

There are many loyal souls in the Bai family, so she will naturally not betray Dongling.

But Emperor Yuan Zhen, she didn't care.

When the time comes, she will definitely settle old and new scores with Emperor Yuan Zhen.

Seeing her like this, Song Chengzhang didn't say much.

He asked Bai Mingwei: "What are your plans?"

Bai Mingwei said slowly: "First of all, we must take precautions in advance, collect evidence that can prove Master Shen's innocence, and buy time."

Song Chengzhang agreed: "As long as the truth of the whole matter is found out, Master Shen's suspicion will be cleared."

"But before that, we really need to collect some evidence to prove Shen Xingzhi's innocence in order to delay time until the truth comes out."

"It's very inconvenient for you to be out in the open. I am also familiar with the complicated relations between the DPRK and China. I will leave this matter to me."

Bai Mingwei responded seriously: "Yes, sir."

Then, she continued: "At the same time, we need to get ahead of everyone and find out the background information of those who are pretending to be envoys."

Song Chengzhang nodded: "In this way, we can reveal their identities in advance, gain a head start, and cut off the escape route of those who want to make a fuss about this matter."

"It's more convenient for you, so just go ahead and do it. As for many matters in the court, I will take care of it for you."

Bai Ming opened his mouth slightly and revealed his next plan: "As for the guards brought by the deputy envoy, I think they have been controlled by some people now."

"What we can do is try to find them. If we can't find them, we can only start by picking up the deputy envoys, and then find ways to deal with the consequences these people may bring."

Song Chengzhang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Go and handle this matter. You must have more people than I do."

"I will help you deal with all the forces in the DPRK and China, but finding people is not what I am good at."

Bai Mingwei responded one by one: "On Yuanxun's side, I will deal with him, and everything depends on you."

Song Chengzhang spoke earnestly: "I am doing this for your own sake, isn't it? Everyone's expression of love for their family and country may vary in intensity."

"But a person who cares about his country will definitely want to protect it, and I, like you, want to protect this land that raised us."

"It's just that I am weak and unable to shake the current situation. All I can do is protect it to the best of my ability."

Bai Mingwei didn't say anything. He cupped his hands and got out of the carriage.

The Taifu of the Song Dynasty was a member of the Empress Dowager. Over the years, he had held the empty post of noble nobleman. Like the Empress Dowager who took refuge in the palace to recuperate, she had no interest in worldly affairs.

There were turbulent undercurrents and intrigues in the court, and they all stood by and watched. While they were at ease, they also wisely protected themselves in the countless battles.

I always thought they were timid and afraid of getting into trouble.

But now that I think about it, isn’t this a way for the Queen Mother to preserve her power?
If not for this, those who truly serve the country and the people would have long since turned into a handful of loess.

The carriage drove farther and farther. On the way back, Bai Mingwei met Bai Yu who came to pick her up.

Seeing Bai Mingwei, Bai Yu hurriedly came over: "Mingwei, we found something here and are waiting for you to go back."
