Li Shimin didn't rest for two days, and he felt extremely sleepy after Bai Song left.
He had just fallen asleep when he suddenly heard a loud banging at the palace door.
Li Shimin was so frightened that he had never encountered such a situation in the palace since he ascended the throne.
"What's wrong?" Li Shimin wiped cold sweat and asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, it's... Princess Danyang."
"Brother Emperor! Brother Emperor!"
Outside the palace, Princess Danyang kept shouting.
Li Shimin was immediately furious: "It's absolutely lawless, please bring this person in for me."
A moment later, Princess Danyang was pressed forward by the guards. Li Shimin glared angrily: "Danyang, you are looking down on me less and less. You dare to break into my bedroom within the confines of the palace. What kind of sin is this for me?" But when you are ready to kill the king!"
Princess Danyang knelt on the ground, with no expression on her face, and asked coldly: "Then why did the emperor brother take my sister in his heart? If the emperor brother wants me to be a regicide and wants a reason to kill Danyang, then Just do it.”
Li Shimin rubbed his temples. He was very sleepy now, but Danyang gave him a headache. It was his indulgence in recent years that made Danyang so confident.
But recalling that year, this sister played a key role in the Xuanwu Gate incident.
Li Shimin also knew Danyang's thoughts. She was just a little too generous and did a lot of things behind his back. But she was a woman after all and would not have any impact on his throne, so Li Shimin had no intention of abolishing Danyang from the beginning to the end.
But Princess Danyang didn't know how to restrain herself and became more and more out of control. Li Shimin only wanted to give her a little beating.
Today, Princess Danyang dared to break into the palace directly, beat the door without saying anything, and even dared to shout. This actually strengthened Li Shimin's confidence.
Princess Danyang's rights must be reduced.
But if she really had to be convicted of regicide, it would obviously not be possible.
Li Shimin squinted his eyes and rubbed his forehead, thinking for a long time, and finally sighed: "Danyang, my news has not been spread, how did you know?"
"Since the news about the emperor's brother has not been spread, why can it be known to others? Someone is obviously causing trouble! This is planned by someone."
"No matter who is planning it, it is rare for a man to dare to marry you. If you continue to behave like this, which man in the world will dare to marry you? Do you want to become the only unmarried princess in the history of the Tang Dynasty? This is not yours. Human affairs are related to the royal family’s face, and you can’t just do whatever you want.”
"A young boy, relying on some fame, thinks very highly of himself. He dares to marry me. He dares to marry me because he doesn't know my methods! If the emperor's brother forces me to marry him, it will be someone else on the wedding day. When your head falls to the ground!"
"How dare you!" Li Shimin stood up angrily, "Although that man is young, he has a handsome appearance, good character, talent and learning. Just the book "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" he wrote was the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. He is a great hero of the Tang Dynasty. If you dare to attack him, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
"Brother Emperor, the origin of Wang Xiaohua is unknown. He is clearly a confidant of Bai Song. As long as we wait for a moment of investigation, he will be exposed sooner or later."
"I have already said that you have to agree to this marriage even if you don't agree to it. I have allowed you to be arrogant and pampered, which has led to today's situation, so I will never follow your temper. You have no other choice in this matter. s Choice."
"Hmph! Since Brother Emperor is so determined, let's wait and see. I want to see how many lives that young boy can have if he falls into my hands, and see what good fruits he can reap!"
After saying that, Princess Danyang stood up, turned around and left angrily, regardless of whether the emperor agreed to her departure.
…
On the car home, Bai Song received another list, saying that there was a post-spring cultural gathering at Buyan Bookstore in Dongshi, and Bai Song needed to visit and go through the motions.
Bai Song changed his route towards Dongshi at a glance. When he arrived outside Buyan Bookstore, he saw Zhang Liang waiting outside. Behind him was girl Shishi waiting expectantly for Bai Song to get off the bus.
But there was business today. Bai Song and Shishi just exchanged glances without any unnecessary chat.
Zhang Liang led Bai Song into the bookstore and introduced: "There are all members of this year's high school. They all look up to Master Bai. They hope to get some advice from you. Let's talk briefly and show familiarity to each other. By the way, Their possible seats have been determined.”
"Where were the five people from that day? Why are all of them here now?"
"The more people who are willing to be loyal, the better. The number of seats in the imperial court is limited. The more people we have, the greater the chance of being placed."
Bai Song thought about it and realized that it was the same thing. It was impossible for people to go wherever they wanted. One or two people would be fine, but if there were more people, they would definitely be hostile to everyone.
Fuyan Bookstore is a quiet and elegant place in the turmoil. On weekdays, few people talk about it, but today's time is special, because they are all in order to meet Mr. Bai, who is very popular in the court today.
So after Bai Song entered, all the young students stood up and bowed.
Seeing this scene, Bai Song felt a little ironic.
Those scholars who had no fame regarded him as a scourge, and they criticized him and cheered him on just because of a Tang history.
But these scholars who passed the exam uniformly declared their loyalty, and they didn't know how to describe it for a while.
What Bai Song didn't know was that the loyalty of these people was not as simple as those of powerful people holding talismans. It was more about being involuntarily and having no choice, so their respect was tinged with infinite fear.
Bai Song didn't pay attention at first, but after a while he felt that the eyes of these people were a little strange.
Bai Song took his seat and briefly spoke some words of encouragement and some empty great wisdom in front of dozens of people. After receiving unanimous praise from the students.
Bai Song asked each other one by one for information such as their name and ancestry.
This can be regarded as a formal act of a polite corporal. It should at least show Bai Song's sincerity and kindness.
Every link was designed by Zhang Liang, so Bai Song didn't think much about it.
As he asked people one by one, Bai Song felt more and more that something was wrong with these people, and the fear in their eyes was very real.
I didn't do anything to scare them, so why did they look at me as if they were seeing a ghost?
Isn't it something to be happy about in the imperial examination high school and having a powerful family join you?
Bai Song was thinking about it when he walked up to a fat and white boy and was about to ask him for his name. Suddenly, he saw a hint of killing intent flashing through the fat boy. He actually took out a dagger and stabbed Bai Song.
It's just that a weak scholar couldn't move a hair of Bai Song, but Bai Song didn't move. The knife in the opponent's hand had already been bounced away before it touched Bai Song's body.
