Xichuan White Embroidery

In the 424th year of the Emperor's calendar, the princess Bai Shuang poisoned the emperor with poisonous wine and forcibly succeeded him as the emperor. Rumors spread among the people, and the Bai royal family was on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, Tang Xiuchen, the governor of Feng County, protected him, and the court was stable and the smoke spread thousands of miles away. However, Queen Bai Shuang and the Duke Tang Xiuchen were frequently rumored to have affairs. The royal family gradually lost the support of the people and was coveted by powerful enemies. Rebellions broke out in the thirteen counties, causing war and making life difficult for the people. Later, Bai Ling and Bai Han, the remaining sons of the royal family, became involved with foreign enemies and gradually began to conspire against them. Duke Zhen Guo led 600,000 troops from Feng County to defend each other to the death, but was eventually defeated by the six-nation coalition and died in the battle at Luochen County. The Duke of Zhen Guo died for his country and Wangjing fell. In order to save the people of Xichuan, Queen Bai Shuang was forced to surrender and submit a form of obedience. In the end, she set herself on fire in Weiyang Pavilion, and the Xichuan Dynasty was destroyed. According to later generations, the queen committed suicide by fire because of the ruin of her country and family, and she could not bear the humiliation. There are also rumors that she and Tang Xiuchen, the prince of the country, had made an oath to accompany her in life and death, and sacrificing herself for the country was actually a sacrifice of love. Eventually, the new emperor succeeded to the throne and the dynasty iterated. The new emperor buried Bai Shuang with a royal ceremony, and posthumously named Tang Xiuchen the Duke of Xichuan. They were buried together with white embroidery, and their achievements in life and death will be remembered in later generations.
