Bai Song left Xingqing Palace with an extremely complicated and heavy heart.
He did not stay to witness that historically significant moment, he wanted to leave some room for ambiguity in the history books.
At the end of the ninth year of Zhenguan, with only two to three months left, the Bai Song Dynasty seemed to be able to see an answer that was different from the historical records.
Unexpectedly, facts and history books overlap.
In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Yuan died of illness at the age of seventy. His posthumous title was Emperor Taiwu, his temple name was Gaozu, and he was buried in Xianling. Later, he was given the posthumous title of Emperor Shenyao, Great Sage and Great Guangxiao.
If you hadn’t experienced it, who would have thought that there are so many unknown stories hidden behind a short sentence in history books?
When leaving Xingqing Palace, Bai Song took the big black cat with him.
Shortly after walking out of Xingqing Palace, the big black cat suddenly broke away from Bai Song's arms, and then jumped up the high wall. The beast glanced at Bai Song, and Bai Song also looked at it.
The sick cat's cloudy eyes suddenly became clear, as if it had regained its spirituality. It barked and ran to nowhere.
Just as the black cat slipped away, someone from the guard team guarding Xingqing Palace shouted: "Emperor Taizu has died of illness!"
…
News spread quickly.
When Bai Song dragged his feet back to the palace, Princess Runan ran out immediately and asked with astonishment on her face: "Is Grandpa Huang sick?"
Behind Xiang Nan, Shu Wang and Sang Sang were also by his side, also casting inquiring glances.
Because everyone knew that Bai Song was in Xingqing Palace just now, compared to those rumors, the news brought by Bai Song must be more accurate.
Bai Song was silent for a while, then nodded.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Princess Runan burst into tears instantly. Among the many princes and grandsons, Princess Runan had the best and closest relationship with Li Yuan.
Even if she was married to Bai Song and became a woman, she would still visit Xingqing Palace from time to time.
"Grandpa Huang's health has always been very good. Although it is not as good as before recently, but... it won't be so sudden. I... I want to go to Xingqing Palace to see it."
Bai Song Jiang held Xiang Nan tightly and said seriously: "Grandpa Huang's last words were to tell me never to go to Xingqing Palace. He didn't want people to see his last appearance."
"Why? Why exactly? This is not a death from illness. Grandpa Huang will not die from illness! If he is really sick, my husband, you will not fail to save him."
Xiang Nan is very smart. Just by the time the news came out, Bai Song was able to conclude in Xingqing Palace that the reason why Grandpa Huang died was true, but the death of illness was not believable!
Bai Song frowned slightly, was silent for a while and said to Xiang Nan, "Let's go back to the room and talk slowly."
After hearing these words, Xiang Nan felt much more at ease. She had never thought that the Xianggong would tell her secrets, but she didn't expect that the Xianggong would be so straightforward.
Bai Song was also tired. He and Xiang Nan stayed in the house and talked for a while. It was already dark.
That night it snowed for the first time this year. When I woke up, Chang'an was dyed white, covering up everything that happened in the previous two days, restoring this thousand-year-old city to the poetic charm in my memory.
But when he looked at Fengyue again this year, Bai Songzhong couldn't help but think that there were heroes' blood and tears hidden behind the romance.
When the six flying flowers come into the house, sit and watch the green bamboos turn into green branches...
At this time, Bai Song no longer had the intention to talk about these flying snow matters.
Xiang Nan woke up and sat on the bed in a daze.
Recalling everything her husband said last night, she would rather believe that it was a dream.
But Xiang Nan knows very well that everything is real and cruel.
The aloof father and mother also showed their fangs and claws at times. When they truly felt threatened, no one or any emotion mattered.
In this world, even the love between flesh and blood can be dissipated, so what else is there to believe in?
This question made Xiang Nan a little distressed, and even made her a little confused.
The cold wind in early winter did not arouse Xiang Nan's spirit. Seeing the sick and beautiful woman turn into a frost-beaten eggplant overnight, Bai Song felt really sad.
"What are you thinking about?" Bai Song sat back on the bed again.
Li Xiangnan shook his head: "No... nothing..."
"You said it was nothing. If I had known you were like this, I wouldn't have told you this."
Li Xiangnan looked at Bai Song blankly: "Ms. sir, if it were you, what would you do? Would you..."
Bai Song pinched Xiang Nan's cheek and said with a smile: "What question are you asking? You are a treasonous person, so be careful of the trouble coming from your mouth. What? You still want your husband-in-law to become the emperor?"
"Forehead……"
"What does the royal affairs have to do with us? You are no longer a princess. Don't think that you still have the blood of the royal family. We are just ordinary people. One day we will find a place far away in the mountains and live a carefree life.
A carefree life.”
"Ms. sir, what do you mean..."
"Don't think about such distant things. In short, we are a family and we speak the same language. We are in the palace. You should have less contact with us in the future."
Xiang Nan nodded. There had been some changes in her heart, at least she had a new respect for the royal family.
When Bai Song said these words, there was a change in his mind.
As Bai Song said, one day you will find a carefree place.
Even Bai Song was frightened by the struggle for power among the royal families. If one day Chang'an really couldn't accommodate him, he would have to leave a way out, and Li Shimin would never be able to do anything about his way out.
The most pure and simple vision was put back on the agenda by Bai Song.
News came from the palace that the emperor had woken up and asked Bai Song to go to the palace.
Bai Song hurried to the palace, and the first news he got was that Li Shimin asked Bai Song to preside over the grand funeral ceremony of Emperor Taizu.
Then the second news was that Li Changsheng, the crown prince of the New Tang Dynasty, was executed outside Chang'an City.
Bai Song was not surprised by this news. It should have been the work of the Empress and Changsun Wuji.
Now that things have finally settled, the remaining details are not that important.
At least that's what Bai Song thought.
Li Shimin was still lying on the bed, but his energy had already risen. Although he looked a little sad on the surface, the doctor's eyes were unmistakable. Li Shimin was recovering well.
Li Shimin also gave Bai Song a decree that all civil and military officials in the dynasty should be rewarded. The specific details of rewards and punishments were left to Bai Song to work out. Furthermore, the third son of the New Tang Dynasty was still among the people, and Bai Song was asked to use his connections in the world to search for him.
.
This Third Duke is the last remnant. As long as he is eliminated, there will be no worries.
Bai Song memorized all the orders one by one. He had become obedient and would do whatever the emperor said. As long as his bottom line was not touched, he was willing to be an obedient minister.
When Bai Song was about to retreat, a person appeared in the dormitory, which instantly attracted Bai Song's attention.
The other party is a Japanese, and he carries an extremely dangerous aura.
