A pair of black-armored guards rushed to the battlefield, and they finally confirmed that the emperor was still safe.
All the hawks and dogs of the secret edict knelt down on the ground, shouting about the unfavorable situation in escorting them.
Li Shimin stood, trying hard to maintain the majesty of the emperor.
If it had been a quarter of an hour ago, Li Shimin would have angrily chopped off all these bastards.
But at this moment, Li Shimin felt calm in his heart. It didn't matter whether these people didn't come to protect him or they didn't want to come to protect him at all.
The important thing is that you are at least alive.
As for loyalty and obedience, Li Shimin had a new view of these words in his heart.
For these people, there is no need to care whether they are sincere or out of fear or other reasons, as long as they obey orders, it is enough.
Instead, what Li Shimin couldn't handle was Bai Song standing behind him.
A quarter of an hour ago, Bai Song had already treated Li Shimin's injury. He temporarily used acupuncture to release some of the congestion accumulated in the body, and then activated his Qi pulse. Now Li Shimin feels much better.
Bai Song is the only one who stays by Li Shimin's side. As for that woman...
Li Shimin was sure that the other party was not trying to save him, but was simply helping Bai Song.
This time, Bai Song rescued Li Shimin. Li Shimin could not deny that this was the greatest kindness he ever owed in his life.
If it had been anyone else, Li Shimin would have promoted him to a higher position without hesitation, and would have done his best to reward him with praise as a token of his gratitude.
But this boy is still proud at heart. Like other masters, he has a different feeling about imperial power.
This is the thing that Li Shimin dislikes the most. The Grand Master is born with a kind of contempt for the imperial power, so he thinks that just killing the emperor is an honor and can make him famous all over the world.
The Bai Song Dynasty was somewhat different. When facing the imperial power, the Bai Song Dynasty neither looked up to nor despised, but looked at it with a normal heart.
How to deal with the Bai Song Dynasty is a very difficult problem.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty..."
"I'm tired and want to go back to the palace to rest. I'll talk about everything after I'm well rested."
After speaking, Li Shimin grabbed Bai Song's hand: "Accompany me back to the palace."
"..." Bai Song was stunned for a moment, but saw Li Shimin holding his arm tightly and not relaxing for a moment.
Bai Song was a little suspicious. He didn't know whether the other party didn't trust him or whether he needed him to feel at ease.
But now was not the time to continue provoking the emperor, so he told Beili: "Please go to the palace to say peace to my family."
Beili nodded and wanted to leave.
The black-armored soldiers immediately became alert and wanted to stop Beili.
Beili did not take action, but looked back at Bai Song, who then looked at the emperor.
Li Shimin waved his hand: "Let her leave."
Only then did the black-armored soldiers give way.
Bai Song was dragged back to the palace by Li Shimin. After taking a few steps, a makeshift pick-up team rushed over.
This time, Li Shiminsheng pulled Bai Song onto his sedan chair and asked Bai Song to sit with him.
When the eunuch who came out of the palace saw this scene, he was so frightened that he could not lift the sedan chair.
From ancient times to the present, who can be equal to the emperor?
Is this an honor?
The eunuchs didn't dare to think about it, wishing they were blind so they wouldn't see such a horrific scene.
If this is not good, someone may kill someone and silence them at any time...
Bai Song was also frightened. He thought that he was a very bold person and there was nothing he dared not do.
But at this moment, Bai Song realized what panic and fear meant.
However, under Li Shimin's repeated requests, Bai Song still sat in that seat, and together with Li Shimin, he squeezed into the seat that was originally occupied by only one person.
But Bai Song's behavior was very strange. He was sitting in a corner with half of his butt hanging out, which looked a bit funny. Most of the seats were occupied by Li Shimin.
Seeing Bai Song's appearance, I gave him the greatest honor and rights in the world, but he seemed to have been greatly wronged.
Inexplicably, Li Shimin wanted to laugh, but his injury was aroused and he coughed twice.
Seeing Bai Song like this, Li Shimin's anxious heart suddenly relaxed. I don't know why, but such a simple test dispelled all the worries in Li Shimin's heart.
Suddenly, Li Shimin patted Bai Song on the shoulder with one hand: "Bai Song, how do you want me to reward you?"
"Your Majesty, this is really unnecessary. Gaining the Emperor's trust is better than any reward. No matter how many rewards you receive, they are just external things."
Li Shimin looked at Bai Song and found that this boy who was usually not very serious now seemed very serious. It seemed that what he said was true.
Li Shimin thought for a while and nodded.
What is the greatest trust in the emperor?
Maybe it’s just merit but no reward.
Because there is no need to use rewards to solidify the relationship between the two.
This is the biggest difference from ordinary people.
Tonight, the palace was in chaos. Everyone knew that the emperor was seriously injured, and countless people were running around and worried about it.
But Li Shimin didn't see anyone, and he didn't summon the imperial doctor or anything. He just asked Bai Song to stay aside and sent away all the palace maids and eunuchs.
Bai Song personally nursed Li Shimin's body, boiled medicine, and performed the duties a doctor should have.
It wasn't until late at night, when Bai Song had nothing to do, that Li Shimin asked the biggest doubt in his heart: "Why did you risk your life to save me? And why did you leave despite my orders before? Don't you think this is very strange?"
Contradictory?"
"What's the contradiction in this?" Bai Song answered seriously, "Everything I do is to seek inner peace and act according to my heart. It's that simple."
"Is it really that simple?"
"It's that simple."
Li Shimin thought for a while and then nodded: "I have begun to understand a little bit. In other people's hearts, the king and master of heaven and earth are in order, and the elders and children are in order. But you should be the master of heaven and earth, and your relatives are more important in your heart than mine. You
You like that woman, right?"
Bai Song shook his head: "That's wrong."
Li Shimin lay on the bed and smiled coldly, snorted and said: "There are no outsiders at this time, so you don't have to pretend in front of me. Even if you put me before the kiss, I think you are not guilty."
"In my heart, I am not the Lord and Master of Heaven and Earth, let alone the Lord and Master of Heaven and Earth, but the Military Advisor of Heaven and Earth. Although I put the Emperor after my relatives, I also put the Emperor before Heaven and Earth. According to the order of succession, the Emperor's status is still higher.
Moved one up."
Li Shimin was stunned. He didn't expect that such a thing could be a blessing to his face. After all, he was really shameless.
Li Shimin smiled, but he didn't dare to say anything for fear of getting hurt.
"You are the only one in the world who dares to speak to me like this. However, after all this, having you say these rebellious words makes me feel much more at ease."
