On the third day of Chang'an's underground purge, the imperial palace finally sent a decree asking Bai Song to go to the palace.
After putting it off for so long, what is supposed to come will still come.
Princess Mingzhu was still anxious when she saw her husband boarding the carriage to the palace. Even though she had had two extra days to prepare, she was still afraid of facing her husband.
Bai Song also wanted to go to the palace to meet Li Shimin, after all, this purge operation was aimed at him.
Taking the initiative to communicate with the emperor can resolve some unnecessary misunderstandings.
In the car, Bai Song had already thought about how to confess.
The power he controls is nothing more than peace of mind. In the complicated environment of Chang'an City, he cannot survive for so long without his own intelligence network.
This is not unique to the White Song Dynasty. Almost all ministers and all major forces have similar arrangements.
I believe Li Shimin can understand if he speaks honestly and sincerely.
Bai Song also knew that it was not Li Shimin who contributed to today's situation, but that various forces in the court had assumed that the Beiding Palace had become a public enemy.
So it was very easy for Bai Song to enter the palace today.
Bai Song never expected that the reason he entered the palace today was not to discuss political matters, but that Li Shimin was sick and couldn't get up from his bed, so Bai Song was specially asked to come over for treatment.
Only then did Bai Song realize that Li Shimin hadn't slept a wink for two days and two nights, and that he was in his current situation because he had something stuck in his chest and couldn't be relieved.
But this was not a serious problem. Bai Song prescribed a medicine, and Li Shimin's complexion immediately improved after taking it.
The eunuch beside Li Shimin changed frequently, and he was an old eunuch, but he had never seen Bai Song's miraculous medical skills. He gave Bai Song a thumbs up in surprise.
"Master Bai is indeed a miracle doctor, and the rumors from the outside are indeed true."
With that said, he quickly walked to the emperor and asked: "Your Majesty, how do you feel?"
Li Shimin rubbed his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "Much better."
Bai Song frowned: "The emperor's illness is only temporarily relieved. If the root cause of the disease cannot be found and eradicated, I'm afraid it will happen again in the future."
"The root of the disease..." the old eunuch asked nervously, "Master Bai, what about the emperor's body now?"
"The root of the Emperor's illness is in his heart. His heart disease is not cured and he is plagued by stubborn illnesses."
"Heart trouble? Your Majesty, how come you have heart trouble even though you are so good? If you have any troubles, tell me about it to this old slave."
This old eunuch has a good heart, but he is also somewhat noisy.
Li Shimin frowned impatiently and waved his hand to ask the old eunuch to leave.
The old eunuch slowly left, and Li Shimin pointed to the stool beside his bed: "Sit yourself."
Bai Song went over to sit down and looked at Li Shimin seriously for a while: "Your Majesty, you were fine before. Why are you so haggard after not seeing him for several days?"
Li Shimin took a deep breath: "Although I am the emperor, I have recently discovered that there are many things that are beyond my control."
"The emperor is also a human being, and even when a human being is at his limit, how can anything go as he pleases? The emperor does not have to be too demanding or treat himself too harshly. Just be more casual in everything, and these illnesses will naturally go away."
Bai Song spoke, half for the occasion and half sincerely.
Li Shimin looked at Bai Song and said, "Do you have anything to explain about the manpower you hired?"
Bai Song shook his head: "I wanted to explain at first, but now I think there is no need to explain. Too many explanations will make the emperor upset. The only thing I can say is that from beginning to end, Bai Song has never had any disobedience.
"
Li Shimin nodded, looked at Bai Song and sighed: "It's a pity that Li Chengqian has been with you for several years, but he can't learn 10/10 from you."
Bai Song didn't answer, he was silent and thinking about something.
Suddenly, Li Shimin spoke: "Bai Song, do you know why I have a heart problem?"
"Please make it clear, Your Majesty, so that I can prescribe the right medicine."
"There is a dark shadow that is always lingering around me, making it difficult for me to sleep or eat well."
"...Dark Shadow?"
Bai Song didn't understand for a while. After thinking for a long time, he finally realized something and deliberately let go of his senses to search around.
After making sure that no one around could eavesdrop, Bai Song said: "The emperor is referring to the Japanese?"
Li Shimin frowned and glanced around.
Bai Song said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there is no one around."
After hearing this, Li Shimin breathed a long sigh of relief: "I...I witnessed the battle at the entrance of the imperial city with my own eyes and felt deeply uneasy. I never thought that even you were not his opponent, who else in the world could restrain him?"
?”
Bai Song suddenly realized that he did not expect that the emperor was secretly worried because he saw the battle at the entrance to the imperial city a few days ago.
Although a little surprised, everything makes sense.
The emperor is a mortal after all, and he will naturally feel pressure when he sees Donghuang's mysterious skills.
Donghuang has already transcended the realm of mortals. As for whether he or Donghuang is stronger or weaker, it's really hard to say.
Previously at the entrance of the imperial city, Bai Song broke off one of Donghuang's fingers, but that didn't mean anything.
Bai Song didn't even know what kind of fighting power he would unleash if he risked his life, and he didn't even know what kind of changes in the world would happen if Donghuang used his full strength. When the two of them fought, it was impossible to judge the strength without distinguishing between life and death.
Li Shimin frowned: "I am the king of a country, and now someone can easily take my life, but I have no way to prevent or cure it. How sad and ridiculous is this?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Since he is still with the Emperor, he will naturally ask for his help."
"What if one day he suddenly changes his mind? At that time, I am afraid that if I close my eyes, I will never be able to see the sun of tomorrow. Wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
"Your Majesty, there is still me!" Bai Song comforted, "I have never learned Kung Fu, but I am blessed by heaven and earth. I used to think that I have never practiced martial arts. What is the use of God giving me all the Kung Fu? Now I understand it.
, God has his own arrangements, maybe this skill is used to restrain the Japanese. As long as I am alive, he will never dare to do anything wrong."
"Bai Song, who is more powerful between you and that man? Are you sure you can kill him?"
Bai Song was silent at first. After thinking for a while, he raised his head and said, "I am not sure about killing him, but I am sure about curing him."
"Oh? Tell me quickly."
"Does Your Majesty still remember the Battle of the Imperial City and the thunder that came when Grand Master Xu turned into a half-immortal?"
"Remember, what does that mean?"
"This is the last test at the pinnacle of martial arts, and it is a heavenly catastrophe. I have observed that the man's skill is extremely close to that of Xu Hua when he was sitting. If he can be forced to fight with all his strength, it may trigger another heavenly catastrophe. Heavenly tribulation
If he falls, this person will be turned into ashes by the heavenly calamity, and when the time comes, he will be wiped out without anyone having to do anything."
"This is a great plan! Bai Song, you must get rid of this person for me."
Bai Song nodded and was about to accept the assignment when he suddenly thought of something and asked: "The emperor is so afraid of Donghuang's power, what about me?"
