The imperial edict to execute Yao Xing on the spot has not yet been sent out.
A soldier came up from the Golden Palace to report.
It is already noon, and the morning has not ended yet.
Just because the sixteen-character criticism has been known to the officials, and at the same time, Xingchen Khan and the demon star mentioned in the criticism are the same person.
There was a fierce debate this morning. Judging from the Turkic attack on the secret edict last night, the Turks were very concerned about protecting the Han patriarch.
After what happened last night, Li Shimin had already felt the threat of those criticisms, so he decided to strangle everything in the cradle. No matter what his identity was, as long as he died, everything would be over.
The imperial edict had just been issued. This was the result of a whole morning of debate among the ministers, but they could not be delivered.
Trouble broke out again at the gate of the city. All the Turks came out to confront the secret edict, the patrol battalion and the soldiers defending the city. The conflict was about to break out.
"Report to the Emperor that the Turks prevented the Mi Zhao Division from arresting the rebels. They insisted that the rebels were Xingchen Khan and asked the Mi Zhao Division to release them. They even threatened that the Mi Zhao Division would not release them. The Turks refused to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. All the previous The terms of the peace talks are void.”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunder exploding in the golden palace.
The officials were in an uproar!
Refuse to surrender to the Tang Dynasty? !
How can this be?
How can the peace talks between the two countries be treated as child's play?
"How outrageous!" Li Shimin was so angry that his face turned green, he slapped the dragon chair and stood up angrily, "Are these Turks so shameless? I have indulged them in every possible way, but they actually openly advocated rebellion? Do you really think I'm afraid of them? ? Send an order to arrest all the Turks in Chang'an City! Anyone who dares to rebel will be shot without mercy!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!" All the ministers dissuaded him in unison.
This time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were surprisingly unified.
Changsun Wuji took the lead in admonishing: "Your Majesty, don't let decades of hard work go to waste because of a moment of anger. How many years did it take for us to let the Turks become vassals?"
"Yes! Yes..." The ministers all agreed.
Li Shimin indeed spoke quickly out of anger, but this was definitely not his intention.
The Turkic affairs are the achievements of thousands of years, how can they be abandoned at the drop of a hat?
Moreover, if the Turks rebel again at this time, the Holy Lotus Sect in Yizhou will not be pacified, internal and external troubles will arise, and no matter how rich the family fortune is, they will not be able to withstand such consumption.
No one would have thought that the Turks were so determined to protect their lord that they would rebel for Star Khan!
"Come back! The person who just delivered the order is back!"
Li Shimin shouted loudly.
The ministers discussed the results all morning, but had to stop because of a sudden news.
"Tell me how to deal with this matter!" Li Shimin only felt upset. The more the Turks valued Bai Song, the more uneasy he felt, and the more he felt that Bai Song was a demon star.
One thing happened to Bai Song, and none of them could be inferred by common sense.
But even if he knew that he was a demon star, so what if he wanted to harm the Tang Dynasty?
This person really cannot be killed!
At least it can't be killed now.
"Reporting to the emperor, this matter is easy to handle. As long as the Bai Song Dynasty is released, the Turks and the Bai Song Dynasty will be grateful for the emperor's kindness. The Turks will be more honest in Chang'an in the future. The emperor's long-term strategy of assimilating the Turks is the same. A very beneficial thing.”
"No, no! You can't keep this person in Bai Song Dynasty. Since there are criticisms that this person will have an impact on the Tang Dynasty in the future, how can you let it go?"
"Criticisms are so illusory that we can't believe them at all. Moreover, they are things of a long time ago. We should focus on the present first. Stabilizing the Turks is the top priority."
"No, no, no..."
There was another argument in the Golden Palace.
After all, the adults who rule the world have returned to the starting point.
After all, it all revolves around whether one should believe the criticism.
Li Shimin's head was as big as a bucket, and he was standing on it, pacing back and forth. Suddenly someone announced: "Master Yuan Tiangang, please see him."
"How can a Taoist priest be allowed in the court..."
"Daochang Yuan said that he had a glimpse of the secret. The real demon star is not Bai Song, but someone else."
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately said: "Pass it on!"
After a while, Yuan Tiangang entered the hall to face the saint. After bowing and kneeling, he stood up and said, "That demon star is not a man, but a woman!"
"Women?" Li Shimin frowned, "There is no room for nonsense in the Golden Palace."
"The poor Taoist must guarantee it with his head. It is absolutely not false." Yuan Tiangang responded in a deep voice with a serious expression.
The ministers looked around and frowned.
"Do you know who it is?" Li Shimin asked again.
"The demon star's surname is Wu... I don't know the people's family."
"Wu...not Bai?"
"How can the so-called demon stars in troubled times allow mortals to spy on their identities so easily? Demon stars are born from Yin energy. No one has ever thought about women in troubled times before. Instead, they saw Bai Song's unique face and more feminine appearance than ordinary men. The criticism is consistent.”
"The woman named Wu..." Li Shimin fell into deep thought.
"Your Majesty, this person's words are not trustworthy. This Yuan Tiangang is Master Bai Song. He is trying to protect the students, so he can be considered a random fabrication. And just based on this person's words, without Taoist Li Chunfeng's testimony, can you say such a big thing?"
Yuan Tiangang sneered: "If you don't believe it, I can explain it on the spot. Which expert dares to try it?"
Yuan Tiangang showed his face to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in the Golden Palace and told the story of his life.
One person has seen five or six people, and there is nothing wrong. No matter who they are, they all have a clear understanding of what they have experienced before, what they have encountered, where they hid their private money, which girl they provoked in what year and month, or who they are. There was an illegitimate child somewhere.
The person who read the fortune-telling was blushing with shame, and it was rare for the courtroom to burst into laughter.
But Yuan Tiangang's divination dispelled everyone's doubts. His divination skills were not inferior to those of Li Chunfeng and Daochang Li.
Having seen Yuan Tiangang's methods, his words are naturally quite convincing.
However, Li Shimin still had lingering fears. After hearing about Bai Song's actions, this kid always made Li Shimin feel uneasy.
Although Yuan Tiangang has proven his ability, Li Shimin is more willing to believe that Bai Song is the demon star in troubled times than Wu's daughter.
For confirmation, Li Shimin asked again: "The Taoist priest may be definitely the daughter of the Wu family, not the Bai Song Dynasty."
"The poor Taoist can be your guarantor. If there is any mistake, please ask the emperor to take the head of the poor Taoist. Bai Song is a man from outside the world. It is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty that he came to the Tang Dynasty. If the emperor wants to revitalize the world, Bai Song will be indispensable in the future." .Bai Song is not a demon star, but a lucky star."
"It's not a demon star, it's a lucky star? Did the Taoist Master say this too much? You are Bai Song's teacher, don't you have any selfish intentions?"
At this moment, a faint voice came from the back hall of the Golden Palace: "I believe that the Bai Song Dynasty is the lucky star of the Tang Dynasty."
"Queen, why are you here?"
"See the Queen."
The ministers bowed down, and Queen Wende came unannounced. After hearing what Yuan Tiangang said in the back hall, she already had an idea.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Bai Song is a miraculous doctor. Some people say that he can cure concubines' accumulated diseases. If he really has this wonderful method, wouldn't it be a blessing to the Tang Dynasty and the world?"
