After being silent for a long time, Chen Ji asked: "Why must your Majesty, Prince Jing, die?"

Bailong lamented: "In the spring of the 23rd year of Jianing, the Chitose Army successfully defeated the rebellion. Your Majesty was happy to reward the three armies. However, the soldiers said that they did not want rewards and only hoped that Your Majesty would let the rebels go."

Chen Ji was startled: "Why is this? How could the Chitose Army intercede on behalf of the rebels?"

Bai Long chuckled and said: "It's just because the Chitose Army thought the rebels were some vicious gangsters at first, but when they arrived in Cangzhou, they turned out to be all desperate tenants who couldn't survive. The Chitose Army had strong soldiers and horses, but the ones they wanted to kill were people holding weapons.

How can the people of Hoe-Tou tolerate this? In that battle, many soldiers of the Chitose Army cried and killed people, killing them until their hearts died."

Bailong continued: "Thirty-seven generals of the Chitose Army knelt outside the right gate of the palace, asking Your Majesty to take back the rewards and spare the lives of the rebels. His Majesty was furious and asked Prince Jing what to do. The Prince said that those rebels were indeed not guilty.

Until death."

Chen Ji looked puzzled: "What then?"

"Then?" Bailong stretched out his hand to catch the falling snow from the sky: "Then His Majesty withdrew the reward and pardoned the rebels. In order to cover up the matter, His Majesty did not just pardon the rebels, but found a reason to find auspiciousness.

Amnesty for the whole world. From now on, Your Majesty and Prince Jing are no longer of the same mind."

Chen Ji whispered: "But if the rebels are desperate people, then they are indeed..."

Bai Long asked back: "Chen Ji, the rebels want to rebel against the imperial court. If Prince Jing says that the rebels are right, then who is wrong?"

Your Majesty was wrong.

Prince Jing's fate seemed to be determined from that day on.

Bai Long changed the topic: "The princess's affairs can't be done now, but that doesn't mean it won't be done in the future. I'll help you save her life first, and keep her under house arrest in a temple and nunnery with Qing Deng. We'll talk about it later when things turn around.

,how?"

The old traces cover up the excitement in my heart. If I can save one life, there is still hope!

He cupped his fists and bowed again, saluting to the end: "Thank you, Lord Bailong!"

Bai Long shook off the snow that turned into water in his hand: "Don't thank me in a hurry. When I was young, I thought I could change anything, but later I discovered that there are too many things that need to be abandoned on this road. Chen Ji,

Once you go down this road, you can't look back."

Chen Ji cupped his fists and bowed, looking at his toes.

Someone has to pay the price, right?

He stood up slowly and said firmly: "Don't look back!"

Bailong turned around and glanced sideways at him, then turned to look into the night and lamented: "My lord will never be able to kill the last bit of the world."

Chen Ji was confused: "What?"
