The appearance of Xiao Wu interrupted Bai Song's original plan.
By the time Xiao Wu was settled, people from the Mi Zhao Division had already come to Tianxiang Pavilion and been waiting for a long time.
Bai Song rushed to the Mi Zhao Division officer and found that he was an unfamiliar guy.
This man was young and only slightly longer than Bai Song, but the guard behind him was recognized by Bai Song.
This guard has been following Li Zhan in the past, and he can be found wherever Li Zhan is.
But this time Li Zhan did not show up.
"Where is the prince?" Bai Song asked the guard.
The guard replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty died of illness two months ago."
"Died of illness?" Bai Song was stunned, "Why didn't you receive any news about it?"
Li Zhan was the king of Shu and the elder of Li Shimin. He died of illness and should be mourned and announced to the world.
"The prince doesn't like publicity, so he keeps it secret."
Bai Song wanted to ask something else, but the young man at the table said, "Mr. Bai, let's talk about business."
The young man stood up and stretched out his hand towards Bai Song.
Bai Song looked at the other party's hand, feeling a little strange.
"My Excellency, Li Yong, has just taken over the Secret Imperial Office. I am not familiar with many matters. I hope Lord Bai can forgive me."
After the other party finished speaking, he realized that Bai Song was looking at the movement of his hand, and then smiled: "I heard that Mr. Bai is used to such etiquette."
"Who did you listen to?"
"Little prince."
"Little prince?"
"That's right, it's Bai An, Prince of Beiding." Li Yong said calmly, "Bai An and I are close friends. We have learned a lot about Lord Bai from the young prince's mouth, and we have already developed a desire to become friends."
"You and Bai An..."
"Although the young prince is young, his breadth of knowledge is the only one that Li has ever seen in his life. The young prince said that all his knowledge was taught by Mr. Bai, and Li has admired him for a long time."
"..." Bai Song was confused, secretly thinking about what happened in the more than half a year since he left Chang'an?
Now that his son couldn't be found and couldn't ask, Bai Song had no choice but to sit down first after thinking about it.
The first thing we want to talk about is of course Donghuang Pavilion.
The existing relationship network of the Bai Song Dynasty can grasp a general information, but it is difficult to pinpoint it accurately. After all, the manpower and scale cannot be compared with the Mi Zhao Division.
The Bai Song Dynasty wanted to use the intelligence spread by the Secret Zhao Division in the capital to accurately find the location of the Donghuang Pavilion personnel, and then carry out an encirclement and suppression campaign.
After a cup of tea, Li Yong basically understood the matter, and then asked: "I heard Master Bai say that those people from Donghuang Pavilion came to Chang'an, but you are only convinced that they are in Chang'an City, but there is no evidence to prove their
The target is the emperor, everything is Lord Bai's guess. If we just strangle Donghuang Pavilion without asking the reason, will it have a bad impact? After all, we now have commercial relations with Japan."
"For the people in Donghuang Pavilion, we would rather kill the wrong person than let him go! I have no evidence to prove it, but if we really have to wait until the evidence is available, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Master Bai..." Li Yong wanted to say something more, but was directly interrupted by Bai Song.
"Master Li, I want to borrow the power of the secret edict, so I don't want to think about how to prove it. All you have to do is follow my instructions."
Li Yong's expression was stunned, and the guard beside him whispered: "Sir Bai, although you hold many positions, in the secret edict department, Mr. Li is the one in charge, and Mr. Li has no obligation to obey your orders."
"It doesn't matter..." Li Yong smiled, "Everyone is doing things for the emperor. Since Mr. Bai has a request, the secret edict will do its best to cooperate. Within three days, the secret edict will definitely give Mr. Bai an answer."
This Li Yong is actually very easy to get along with, I wonder if it's because of Baek An's relationship.
…
Xiao Wu followed Bai Song back to the palace.
Now Bai Song has the ability to take good care of Xiao Wu. As long as Xiao Wu is under his nose, he is not worried that the little girl will embark on a very difficult road.
Bai Song promised Xiao Wu to send people to find Xu Ruan'er, but after returning to the palace, there was a visitor who had been waiting for Bai Song for a long time.
There was no other way, so Bai Song could only temporarily leave Xiao Wu to Xiang'er and go to the main courtyard to meet the guests.
The person coming is Yuan Tiangang.
This Mr. Yuan rarely appears in public, and this was the first time he took the initiative to come to Bai Song.
Bai Song was very curious: "Mr. Yuan, why are you here?"
Yuan Tiangang has not been seen for four years. He looks much older. His silver hair makes him look twenty years older.
But Yuan Tiangang's inhumane severity was still there, and when he saw Bai Song, he nodded coldly in response.
Bai Song asked someone to bring tea, and after Yuan Tiangang drank the tea, he put down the tea cup.
Yuan Tiangang finally spoke and asked: "Li Chunfeng returned to Chang'an with you?"
"yes."
"Do you know what happened in Qintian Prison recently?"
"Sir, you are saying that Li Chunfeng took over the Qintian Prison, and now, sir, you..."
"Hmph!" Yuan Tiangang snorted coldly, "How can a poor Taoist care about these worldly names? I just want to ask you, what did Li Chunfeng do in Japan? Why did he say that he has the ability to make immortality medicine?"
"Li Chunfeng said he can make immortality medicine?"
"That's right! The emperor was very happy after hearing this and ordered all officials in all places in the world to cooperate with Li Chunfeng in refining the elixir. Immortality is a falsehood and impossible to achieve. Li Chunfeng is either going against heaven or deceiving the emperor.
.And the emperor has been obsessed with immortality for many years, and will do whatever it takes to achieve immortality. I don’t want to see the emperor do some stupid things for the sake of immortality. You are now the most trusted person by the emperor, and I hope you can come forward to persuade the emperor."
Bai Song's brows gradually wrinkled. He was worried about this before, but after Yuan Tiangang said this, he felt even more uneasy.
First of all, Li Chunfeng is also very persistent in the medicine of longevity. One is the authentic Taoist of today, and the other is the emperor of the world. Two people are persistent for the same impossible thing. No matter how they think about it, it will not be a good thing.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely go and persuade you another day."
Yuan Tiangang took a deep breath: "The celestial phenomena have been unstable recently. I searched all the classics and could not explain the current celestial phenomena. However, Li Chunfeng threatened that the recent celestial phenomena portends peace and prosperity for the Tang Dynasty and the people. This person has lost the true nature of Taoism before he achieves his goal. Stay
Being by the Emperor's side will definitely bring trouble to the world."
"Since you are worried, sir, why don't you come with me to see Li Chunfeng?"
"Meet him?"
"Daozhang Li and I are considered friends. Although we have some friction in Japan, we are working for the emperor after all. No matter what the problem is, as long as we explain it clearly in person, there should be no suspicion."
Yuan Tiangang nodded: "It's time to meet him. Pindao also wants to know what he wants to do."
Bai Song looked at the sky and found that it was still early, so he immediately prepared his carriage and horses, went to arrange a banquet, and notified Li Chunfeng to meet him.
