When the people of Bianjing heard the news of Xiazhou's great victory, they cheered happily. Even during the period of curfew and martial law, they couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the people. Various colored lights were hung on every street at night.

On August [-]th, the victorious army first went to Longyuan Temple and then returned to the capital.

The entire Bianjing is empty of people, and the people want to see the biggest victory since the Battle of Dingbian, and they also hope that this victory will bring peace and tranquility to the empire just like the Battle of Dingbian that year.

Under the scorching sun, the former army troops appeared one after another.

There is no enthusiasm for flying colorful flags, no victory for banners, and no arrogance for a victorious teacher.The long procession with white flags unfurled, and under the solemn and solemn atmosphere, the heavy steps of the soldiers walking slowly made the funeral procession even more extraordinary.

The people in Bianjing scrambled to see who died. They thought it was the heroic spirit of Xiazhou's fallen soldiers.

But above the high-rise buildings in the four cities of Bianjing, the bell was ringing heavily.

The faces of some officials suddenly changed, and the heavy bell rang 81 times.

Some officials wailed loudly, and the common people were puzzled and discussed one after another.

"The emperor just knocked 81 [-] times after he died!" Some people whispered.

Sure enough, there was a tall spiritual tablet of a coiling dragon on the royal driver at the front of the team, "The Divine Tablet of Emperor Xingzong of the Great Song Empire Yuwen Tuo", guarding the imperial army with white helmets and white armor, Xiao Sha was awe-inspiring.

People on the street knelt down one after another, and tablets appeared one after another below.

"The throne of His Royal Highness Prince Shen of the Great Song Empire!"

"The spiritual seat of Xiaomo, Dongping Marquis of the Great Song Empire!"

"Jingzhao of the Great Song Empire guards the spirit seat of the first-rank general Li Luzhi!"

The Drum Tower at the gate of the city made a low rumbling sound as the hearse passed by.

Han Dong announced the decree in front of Nanxun Gate: "Emperor Daxing was assassinated by Khitan thieves last month, passed on to the throne as the third prince Yu Wen'an, and was appointed His Royal Highness Jian Guo to assist the government. In the Battle of Xiazhou, His Royal Highness Prince Shen died for the country, and the Northwest Capital Protectorate General Governor Dongping Hou Xiaomo died for the country, Jingzhao Guard General Li Lu died for the country, and the state funeral will be held together!"

After hearing this, the people burst into tears together.

Shen Bai walked in from Nanxun Gate, dressed in white and with silver hair, which shocked the soldiers and civilians of Bianjing who looked up at him.

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo take care!" The people spontaneously shouted in unison.

Shen Bai bowed to the people along the street in front of Nanxun Gate, followed slowly behind the hearse, and under the guard of the palace servant, he walked back to Da Nei along Zhuque Street.

"Boom, boom!" The mourning hall set up by Ouchi is above the main hall.

The entire Bianjing fell into a white world within a day, and the whole country was shocked, and the national funeral was carried out in an orderly manner.

Three days later, all the officials went to Xin Cao's gate, led by the king of Yue.

"Congratulations to Emperor Tianyao of the Khitan Kingdom, welcome to the lord of Helian of Xixia Kingdom, welcome to the sage lord of Jurchen Kingdom Wanyan, and welcome to the sage lord of Li Guo of Koryo Kingdom!" the ceremonial official sang.

On the sixth day of Yuwentuo's funeral, Duan Yisheng, the head of the Dali Kingdom, came to worship with Liu Long's head.

The gathering of the five emperors is the most grand event since the founding of the country, but it is during the national mourning period.

Shen Bai guarded Yu Wentuo's spirit for the last night, and it was Ye Shuyu who came to accompany him to guard the spirit.

"Play a few songs for the emperor?" Shu Yu asked sitting next to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai nodded, indicating that it was okay.

In the early hours of the morning, Shen Bai left quietly.

On the eve of the team's funeral, the ministers and relatives of the emperor could take a last look at Yu Wentuo. As the heirs, the three princes had to throw the white sweat towels in their arms into the coffin, so that he could leave with the warmth of his relatives.

Shen Bai holding Ruan Qin appeared again, and put Qin into Yu Wentuo's coffin under the eyes of everyone.

"The bosom friend is gone, what's the use of the piano?" Shen Bai looked at Yu Wentuo and said in a low voice.

Yu Wentuo's funeral was the grandest in history, and the emperors and rulers of various countries who participated in it were unprecedented.

At the funeral of 20 imperial troops, a thousand cannons were fired, and the people of Bianjing sent him to the imperial mausoleum.

Yu Wentuo's posthumous title of "Xian", although some people think that this conflicts with the name taboo of the Empress Dowager Xian, but Shen Bai, who has power all over the world, said "he will like it" to block it back.

"Tomorrow is the day when An'er ascends the throne, he wants you to accompany him." Shen Fei'er, who is already the queen mother, said to Shen Bai.

"Okay!" Shen Bai replied with his eyes closed, half asleep. The person leaning on the soft couch was dressed in light gauze and white clothes, and his hair had turned completely white in the past few days.

"Abai?" Shen Fei'er looked at her favorite younger brother since childhood.

Shen Bai opened his eyes slightly: "Sister, don't cry, am I still alive?"

Shen Fei'er held his hand: "But your life is better than death, my sister knows you are suffering, but this is life! When you were young, a master said that you will have power in the world in this life, but you cannot escape loneliness." Daddy was very scared of Xing’s fate, so before he died, he named you Baiyi.”

"Why don't I know?" Shen Bai asked curiously.

"I didn't tell you." Shen Fei'er looked at him: "In the past, my sister always said that if I like you, just be an ordinary person, but my sister knows that this fate has come since you decided to help An'er. , you can’t escape.”

"Shen Bai, Shen Baiyi!" Shen Bai read his own words mockingly.

"White clothes means that no official is light." Shen Fei'er said.

Shen Bai nodded: "Father really took great pains for me."

"But isn't it because of fate that you can't escape?" Shen Fei'er shed tears of beauty.

"Don't cry, sister!" Shen Bai sat up, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

Shen Fei'er looked at her younger brother: "An'er wants you to sit with him on the dragon chair and become the throne tomorrow."

"It's not polite." Shen Bai refused.

"Only this time." Shen Fei'er said: "This is his only wish. I have already discussed with Mr. Han, Mr. An and other officials, and they all agreed."

Shen Bai looked at her and nodded.

"Your nephew has only worshiped you all his life. He hopes that his country will start with you, representing the late emperor."

Thinking of Yu Wentuo, Shen Bai heaved a long sigh.

"You rest, sister is going back first." Shen Fei'er looked at him, knowing that he was too depressed, she got up and left slowly.

In the early morning of Da Nei, with the sound of drums and music, the Suzaku Street was full of people, looking forward to the tall palace wall of Da Nei.

The high-hanging imperial flag replaced the white dragon flag three days ago, and the imperial army in red armor replaced the casual clothes of the imperial army in purple dragon robes.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Three shouts echoed inside and outside the hall.

The lords of the Five Kingdoms sat on the left and right sides of the main hall to watch the ceremony.

Yu Wen'an and Shen Bai held hands and boarded the dragon couch and sat on the dragon chair.

Three calls sounded again.

Shen Bai looked down: "The first emperor died, and the third prince, Yu Wen'an, was passed on, with the honorary title of Dezong, and changed his name to 'Tiansheng Wan'an'!"

All the ministers knelt together: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Han Dong took out the imperial decree at the top position: "Prince Shen is named Prince Huguo Shen; Hou Xiaomo of Dongping is named Duke Dingguo; General Li Lu, who guards Jingzhao, is named Marquis of Dingjun; Posthumously confer the posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous titles to General Xiancheng Jingyi Marquis, and all of the above are enshrined in the ancestral temple."

"Long live, long live, long live!" The officials paid homage again.

An Guogong walked out of the queue: "Chen Zuo, please confer the title of Prince Shen Junwang Youyang of Zhenguo, hereditary will not replace you."

"Your servant is equally welcome!" All the officials knelt down together.

The officials and the five heads of state watching the ceremony looked at Shen Bai together, and even Yu Wen'an smiled happily.

Shen Bai remained silent, his expression was neither sad nor happy, there was no change: "You guys get up first."

The officials stood up and looked at him puzzled.

"Why don't you call it 'Eternal Azure Dingguo Shengwang'!" Han Dong said a title, and all the officials nodded in praise, "This is good, this is good!"

"It can't be called 'Wanchao Shows His Holiness and Shines Glory to the World!'" Xiao Qi interjected as a guest: "This is a discussion between our nations."

Everyone present applauded even more, even Yu Wen'an nodded and looked at his uncle.

Shen Bai looked at Xiao Qi, and then at the crowd: "Why is it the same as the posthumous title you want to give me?"

Everyone smiled lightly, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Without waiting for them to say anything, Shen Bai raised his hand to Shunzi, and Shunzi took out a note: "Fengyue Wang Yuwenzhen is the Prince of Zhenguo Yue. Fengning County Wang Yuwenxuan is Prince Ning."

After Shunzi read it twice, he glanced down: "Confer Xu Jin as Youyang County King, Jia Shiqing Zhen Beigong, Qin Yuqingyunhou."

After reading, Shunzi slowly backed away.

Shen Bai got up slowly: "The emperor was young, and he appointed Han Dong as the minister of the cabinet and took the position of grand master. An Guogong was the minister of military aircraft and took the position of Taiwei. He also had five important ministers and five nobles as assistants. Cabinet.Feng Shuyu returned to Duke Ning, led the third division of the Dianshuai, commanded the Imperial Army, and guarded Bianjing.

Starting today, I will relinquish all titles, retire to the Furong Valley of Longyuan Temple, and ignore military and political affairs for the rest of my life. "

After speaking, he slowly walked down the dragon chair, turned and left the Golden Palace, leaving behind a resolutely lonely back.

One day later, Song State signed a 'peace treaty' with the five countries and held an alliance ceremony.

"We are leaving tomorrow, won't you go with us to relax?" In the Furong Valley of Longyuan Temple, Xiao Qi and Helian Tianjiao looked at Shen Bai together.

Shen Bai closed his eyes and shook his head: "I'm tired, so I want to stay here."

Helian Tianjiao sighed: "You have to face life! I also want to invite you to live for a while, and talk to me about what happened in China later."

"He can do it too!" Shen Bai looked at Xiao Qi and said jokingly.

"He is the emperor, he is even more busy, haven't you offloaded all the government affairs?" Helian Tianjiao persuaded.

"I want to sit quietly in Furong Valley for several years to see the changes of lotus and hibiscus flowers." Shen Bai said leisurely.

"You buried the qin, without the joy of silk and bamboo, it's very tiring to guard this valley alone." Xiao Qi persuaded.

Shen Bai looked at him: "Writing, drawing, there are many things to do, not to mention there is no other piano. If I am a person who is obsessed with all kinds of things, how can I survive in this world."

Xiao Qiqiu nodded, looking at Shen Bai with gray hair: "I have always wanted to ask you a question."

"Tell me!" Shen Bai glanced at him.

"Everyone before you has risen fabulously and is full of legends, why is it so effective?" When Xiao Qi asked, Helian Tianjiao showed a surprised expression, he didn't expect Xiao Qi to ask this question.

"Speaking of which, my life here is full of routines." Shen Bai said seriously: "My routines to others, and others' routines to me, if in this time-traveler, there is a selection of actor, Maybe I am."

"But why did Yu Wentuo let you supervise the country in the end? Is this also a routine? This is also the actor's performance, in order to let you take a curtain call in the middle of the stage?" Xiao Qi said in disbelief.

Shen Bai lowered his head, and said fullheartedly: "He was my best friend in the previous life, and I just got into a car accident just to see him."

Xiao Qi and Helian Tianjiao looked at Shen Bai blankly, they guessed many explanations, but they didn't expect such an ending that almost fell in love and killed each other.

"That is to say, I was defeated by my own routine, and when I met him, he was already poisoned." Shen Bai's words were like the wind, leaving little ripples on the lake.

"This life, this land of heaven's punishment, is really playing tricks on people!" Xiao Qi said unfairly.

"It doesn't matter, the me now must be me!" Shen Bai said slowly: "The others are not important anymore."

"You said, is there reincarnation?" Helian Tianjiao asked.

Shen Bai and Xiao Qi shook their heads at the same time: "I can't tell."

"With this, there may not be reincarnation, but no matter what, it is enough to live every life well." Shen Bai returned.

"That's what I want to tell you too." Xiao Qi looked at him and smiled.

When the autumn wind blows in September.

The hibiscus flowers in Furong Valley did not start to fall one by one like in previous years, but turned into petal rain one by one, and fell all over the pond.

Shen Bai sat in the valley and looked at the petals in the pool, holding a wine cup in his hand and slightly closing his eyes: "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!"

Jia Shiqing and the others came to the valley.

"Your sister-in-law gave birth to a son yesterday." Jia Shiqing looked at him and said, "I want you to name the baby."

Shen Bai smiled calmly: "I'm sorry, how many names have I given to people in my life. Your son, let the old general name you!"

Qin Yu looked at Shen Bai: "Fourth brother, let's go out of the valley to play. The third brother will prepare a banquet after the birth of his younger siblings. How about a wedding banquet together?"

Shen Bai looked at Xu Jin: "My throne was granted by the previous emperor, it's a pity that it's gone, you should have more children to inherit it!"

Xu Jin looked at him: "If I didn't see him as your Youyang County King, I wouldn't want to be it!"

"Hey, I've wronged you." Shen Bai shook his hand.

"Why don't I send my son to you." Xu Jin blinked and said.

"How about you continue to hang out?" Shen Bai teased him: "You have a good idea!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Bai looked at Jia Shiqing: "I didn't make big brother king, it's to protect you."

Jia Shiqing nodded knowingly: "I know, our family is already prominent enough."

"The world is like tides and people are like water. I will eventually be submerged in smoke and dust, and I can only do one last thing for you." Shen Bai said.

"But you are always our brother, aren't you?" Xu Jin asked.

"Of course!" Shen Bai nodded to him.
