A quarter of an hour passed, and Bai Song stood at the door waiting a little impatiently.
In the entire Chang'an City, there were not many people who could keep Bai Song out like this, and they were also old friends.
Bai Song was a little unhappy, but he knew what the reason might be, so he continued to wait patiently.
A few minutes later, the door of the mansion opened, and it was not Yu Ji who came out, but Yu Qingqing.
The little girl has grown into a big girl, her appearance has changed drastically, but what remains unchanged is still youthful and beautiful, and the agility in her eyes remains unchanged.
Bai Song thought that Yu Qingqing would be very happy to see him, and maybe she would pounce directly on him.
But this time Bai Song thought about it again. The little girl at the door looked very calm and even a little cold when looking at Bai Song.
From the other party's eyes, Bai Song saw a trace of tangle.
Needless to say, it must have been caused by the Tang History incident!
It is estimated that Yu Ji also had a prejudice against him because of Tang History, and Yu Ji's prejudice also impressed Yu Qingqing, and even Yu Qingqing did not want to see Bai Song.
Before coming, Bai Song had already thought of a similar result, but when he really encountered it and saw it with his own eyes, Bai Song felt even more angry.
These two closest friends were separated from each other because of such an incident. This was Bai Song's distrust of him.
According to Bai Song's temperament, he might just turn around and leave without bothering to explain.
But the other party was Yu Qingqing, a little girl who had just grown up, so he could explain it patiently.
Yu Qingqing didn't say anything. Bai Song thought for a while and said, "What? It hasn't been long since we last met, and you're starting to show off?"
Yu Qingqing frowned and asked, "What are you here for?"
"I'm here to visit a friend. Do you, Yu Qingqing, no longer consider me a friend?"
"..." Yu Qingqing sniffed, her eyes looking very complicated.
Bai Song walked over by himself, looking at Yu Qingqing's cold look, he felt a little helpless: "It's you who are in trouble. If your brother dares to look like this to me, I will punch you! Because a history of the Tang Dynasty can...
Won't it cancel out our past friendship? Yu Qingqing, Yu Qingqing, you are such a heartless woman."
"No!" Yu Qingqing pouted, looked down at Bai Song's shoes, and then said, "My brother is not allowed to see you."
"You are not allowed to see me even if your brother says it's not allowed? Do you believe whatever your brother says, but you don't even listen to what I want to say?"
"You...what do you want to say?"
"I don't even know why you are angry with me. How can I explain it? Why don't you call your brother up and let me hear what you have to say first?"
Yu Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then opened a gap to let Bai Song enter.
When they arrived at Yu Mansion, Yu Qingqing walked in front and said, "Come with me first. Just tell me if you have anything to say. My brother won't see you."
Bai Song had no choice but to follow Yu Qingqing to the living room and sit down, and then asked: "Tell me, why are you having trouble with me?"
"You said it yourself, the emperor entrusts the history of Tang Dynasty to you."
"Then what? It's true that you left it to me to edit, but I didn't do anything. Why are you the only one to be offended?"
"Hmph! My brother said that you have always been greedy for life and afraid of death, and now that you have so many concerns in the palace, you will definitely comply with the emperor's order and compile a history of the Tang Dynasty that the emperor likes. You don't know at all, because this step in the history of the Tang Dynasty
How many people have died, how many people in the world have paid their lives for this matter. If you comply with the emperor's wishes for your own life, it will make many people die worthless. They used their lives to protect
The truth will be completely rewritten because of you, and from now on, you will become a sinner in history."
"Is this what Yu Ji told you?"
"Not entirely. I have my own judgment. In this matter, I think what my brother said makes sense. You will definitely follow the emperor's wishes. I understand you. If you are not doing it for yourself, you will do it for the sake of the wife and family in the palace.
child."
Bai Song smiled, but he didn't expect that this girl really knew him well.
"Then what would you choose if you were in my position?"
"..." Yu Qingqing did not speak. She also knew Bai Song's difficulties. After all, this was a matter involving the nine clans. She just said it lightly, but when it came to the real choice, how could it be so easy?
Yu Qingqing lowered her head: "I don't know, but it might be the same as you, but...even if you have difficulties, after all, this is a matter for the whole world, and it affects the whole world...it cannot be because of an individual..."
"Okay!" Bai Song suddenly emphasized his tone, "Okay, I will listen to you. From today on, I will stand on the same line with the world's literati and fight against the emperor together. Even if I die, even if my whole family dies, I will
Don’t change!”
Yu Qingqing's eyes widened: "What are you talking about? This kind of joke is not funny at all."
"Isn't this what you said? I can't disregard the world just because of my personal safety. I choose great righteousness and give up small righteousness. Isn't this okay?"
Yu Qingqing couldn't defeat Bai Song, and was so anxious that tears came out: "I, I, I... I don't want you to die, I don't want you and your wife, I don't want anyone to die... I don't know what to do? I don't even know.
Should I listen to your explanation? I feel sad and sad when I see you now... Wuwu..."
As he talked, the little girl started crying.
Seeing Yu Qingqing's entangled look, Bai Song couldn't bear it when he recalled his innocent experiences in the past.
"Okay, don't cry. You just heard that I would preside over the compilation of the history of the Tang Dynasty. You didn't ask me about my attitude at all, let alone what I planned to do. Now you are rushing to draw a clear line with me. Isn't this right?
Too reckless? It’s also unfair to me, isn’t it?”
"Hmm..." Yu Qingqing responded and rubbed the corners of her eyes.
Bai Song stood up and took a deep breath: "I am indeed greedy for life and afraid of death, and I treat women more important than myself, but there are not only two choices. I already know many people who died because of Tang History.
, among those people there are even some of my friends and some elders, they are more or less kind and helpful to me. They know more clearly what they are protecting regardless of their lives, so don’t underestimate me, I am trying
Protect the truth, but don’t want to let yourself get bruised. I have plans, so you have to have confidence in me.”
"What's the plan?"
"I have agreed with the Emperor for one year. Within this year, I will make as many preparations as possible. I hope that if I fall out with the Emperor after one year, I will be able to escape."
"So, you are willing to stand with the world's literati?"
Bai Song nodded.
"That's great!" Yu Qingqing jumped up and threw herself into Bai Song's arms with excitement.
Bai Song didn't react. He felt that the little girl's body was trembling, but he didn't try to stop her.
"Bai Song, you scared me to death. I thought we were going to be enemies in the future. I will tell my brother what you think. Just wait."
"Don't!" Bai Song quickly stopped, "Telling others my decision like this will kill me, isn't it? If the emperor finds out, how will I survive? So, you must keep it a secret for me."
