The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

She began to interrogate her heart.

Do you really want to marry Bai Gui?

In the past, because Bai Gui was her benefactor, "promising her with her body" was the best way for her to repay her kindness. For ordinary women, reputation and integrity may be precious, and it is not impossible to die in order to keep the integrity.

But for a monk like her, although her reputation was not worthless, compared with the path to immortality, she was willing to give up this little thing.

When time is long enough, the resentment against mortals will be nothing more than a small wave in the vast memory.

On Qingming Festival, on the West Lake, it would be impossible to say that she fell in love with Bai Gui at first sight. There are two reasons why she wholeheartedly wants to marry Bai Gui. One is to repay her kindness, and the other is to use this to turn her own disaster of enlightenment into a disaster of love.

Although the love catastrophe is difficult to overcome, it is much easier than other catastrophes.

She planted a feeling of love for Bai Gui in her heart.

Falling in love with Bai Gui is inevitable.

At this moment, Bai Gui used Fuxi's magical power to suppress the love in her nature. The love crisis was temporarily gone, the mirror shone brightly, all illusions were shattered, and she saw her true self. .

"Your Highness King Qin, can you accompany me for a walk outside?"

She said softly.

After peeling away the illusion of love and calamity, Bai Suzhen now doesn't know what kind of feelings she feels for Bai Gui in her heart. If she is still madly in love, that's impossible. How can she, a "god", be madly in love with a mortal. But if I say that I don't have any feelings, I'm afraid it's also a lie.

So, she planned to go for a walk.

It was late winter.

There was a light snowfall last night.

The air is cool.

This private residence is next to the market in Chang'an.

At this time, Chang'an was no longer as prosperous as it had been in the Tang Dynasty, and only the ruins of the Tang Imperial City remained. There are few people in the market, and occasionally you can see an old man selling animal charcoal.

Bai Gui is the king of Qin, and he is protected by personal guards when he travels.

The guards scolded pedestrians on the roadside to avoid them.

This is to prevent assassins.

Whether you love the people or not is not reflected at this moment.

The old charcoal seller couldn't escape.

The cart rolled over on its side on the street, and the charcoal in the coal basket spilled all over the ground.

Bai Suzhen frowned.

She has always been charitable and charitable. It was precisely because of his character that he was accepted as a disciple by Mother Lishan and devoted himself to practice.

She stepped forward to help the old charcoal seller pick up animal charcoal.

When the old charcoal seller saw the fairy concubine coming over, he helped him pick up the fallen charcoal, bowed and apologized to Bai Suzhen.

At this time, Bai Gui also ordered his personal guards to help the old charcoal seller reset the cart.

A small incident that happens from time to time in Chang'an.

Everyone has different thoughts.

"I would like to thank His Highness the King of Qin. I would like to thank His Highness the King of Qin for not curing the crime of Jingjia."

The old man selling charcoal said with lingering fear.

Bai Gui said nothing.

The guard scolded the old charcoal seller and told him to leave quickly and not to disturb Wang Jia.

The old charcoal seller pulled the cart and hid in the alley on the other side, shouting at another place.

Bai Gui, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing continued walking on the street.

It's just that Bai Suzhen's eyebrows were frowning. After walking for a while, she finally couldn't help the doubts in her heart and stepped forward and asked: "Master Bai, although my family lives in Gusu, the last time I was in the West Lake, I heard the boatman say that you I am a well-known good person in Lin'an, and you do good deeds from time to time. Even a poor man like the boatman can talk to you..."

"But why..."

She paused, a little confused.

A large part of the reason why she is willing to plant feelings of love on Bai Gui is that Bai Gui has an excellent reputation in Lin'an. Such a person, even if he plants feelings of love, does not worry about what he is paying for.

But in the scene just now, Bai Gui acted very coldly.

If she hadn't helped the old charcoal seller pick up animal charcoal, Bai Gui and his personal guards probably wouldn't have taken action.

Bai Gui smiled and did not answer.

The personal guard beside him, Chen Ce, who was also one of the Thirteen High-level Guanshi, saw this and asked Bai Gui for instructions, and replied: "My dear lady, do you know a sentence? What is it... If you abandon the sage and wisdom, the people will benefit a hundred times."

"You stepped forward to help this old charcoal seller. It seemed like help, but the old man needed help from a noble person like you, but how many bows did he make? How many salutes did he make?"

"My general did not directly help the old charcoal seller, but look at the clothes the old charcoal seller is wearing. Although it is not silk, it is enough to keep warm."

"If you look at his appearance, he has plenty of flesh on his cheeks and no look of hunger on his face."

"This... is my general's kind deed!"

Chen Ce said slowly.

Although he was originally just a small soldier in the Xiang army and did not know much about writing. But those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. After following Bai Gui for a long time, the deep meaning of some actions gradually became clear.

For soldiers to be effective, they must not only have the most basic requirement of adequate food and pay, but also the personal charm of a general.

And this is precisely the charm of Bai Gui.

Since the previous wars, nearly half of the thirteen warriors have been killed or injured, but these warriors still follow Bai Gui because they see something different from other generals in Bai Gui.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the remaining warlords are all middle- and high-level generals in the army. The casualties and casualties are the injuries before the rise. At this point, unless the entire army is annihilated, under normal circumstances, the army will The middle and high-level generals are not easily killed or injured.

"If you abandon wisdom and sage, you will benefit the people a hundredfold..."

Bai Suzhen suddenly understood.

The good deeds she performed were small acts of kindness, small acts of kindness that could be directly seen by others. But Bai Gui formulated national policies and restored people's power, doing great good. Although these great good deeds are invisible and intangible, in fact they are far more important than the small good deeds she did.

A national policy that benefits all people.

Compared to Bai Gui, her good deeds pale in comparison.

Although it is said that kindness is no matter how big or small, in fact, there is a stick in my heart.

Similarly, she also understood why Bai Gui didn't directly help the charcoal seller. It's very simple. Although Bai Gui had an official status in the past, he was just a low-level official. It was no big deal to directly help the people. But now Bai Gui is the King of Qin, and his every move has far-reaching influence.

She helped the charcoal seller, and the charcoal seller bowed and saluted her as a fairy concubine. But if Bai Gui, the majestic King of Qin, ended up, then it would not be limited to bowing and saluting.

"I'm so sorry that I'm only dressed in a disheveled shirt, but I'm worried and hope the weather will be cold."

"Miss Bai, after Bai Letian wrote this poem, will the charcoal sellers become extinct? The nobles in Chang'an need to keep warm, and this is profitable, so there are charcoal sellers."

"The only thing I can do is to impose less exorbitant taxes on such people."

Bai Gui shook his head and said.

"Why are there just fewer exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, rather than being completely exempted?"

"There are not many charcoal sellers in Chang'an. How many can we collect from them..."

Xiaoqing interjected.

Although she may not have much sympathy for these charcoal sellers, logically speaking, since they have benevolent intentions and the charcoal sellers cannot collect any taxes, it is better to exempt them entirely.

When Chen Ce saw this, he wanted to go back, but for a while, he couldn't think of anything good to say.

Of course he understood that King Qin must have profound meaning in this regard.

But the deeper meaning left him a little confused.

"Why is it an old man selling charcoal?"

"It's because of the thin profits. If I abolish miscellaneous taxes, the small profits will turn into huge profits, and the charcoal seller will make less money, so the taxes can be reduced, but they cannot be abolished."

Bai Gui replied smoothly.

With his knowledge and extensive knowledge, handling political affairs is a piece of cake. But his wonderful articles will inevitably seem obscure to ordinary people.

One question and one answer.

Bai Suzhen looked at Bai Gui with brighter and brighter eyes.

She seemed to understand what she meant.
