Xiong Kaishan, standing in the center of the hall, was red-faced and at a loss what to do!
If the Turks on the grassland knew that the demon god who caused their livers and gallbladders to split apart could actually look like this, their eyes would probably have crackled to the floor!
But when Li Shimin saw Xiong Kaishan's appearance, there was only a happy smile in his eyes.
Compared with Li Jing, there are wise generals and Confucian generals like Li Daozong.
In fact, Li Shimin's favorite is Liu Hongji and Cheng Yaojin, a strong general like this!
This can be seen from Li Shimin's attitude towards his famous generals in history.
Cheng Yaojin, who was known as the devil in the world, lived a life of prosperity and wealth, and lived a carefree life of 77 years!
Although Li Jing, who was unparalleled in wit, bravery and determination, lived to be 78 years old, he basically spent the rest of his life being impeached by countless officials.
Even in the end, Li Jing was forced to open the middle door and dismantle the screen wall, almost tearing down the bedroom to prove his innocence!
Of course, this cannot be said to be Li Shimin's killing of donkeys, but that is how things are in the world!
Any king needs to maintain the greatest vigilance against an existence that may threaten the throne!
Only beings like Cheng Yaojin and Liu Hongji who pose no threat to the throne can gain the king's complete trust!
"Where's the stuff?"
Seeing the helpless Xiong Kaishan, Li Shimin raised his hand and pressed it down slightly, and the laughter around him suddenly became quieter.
"Oh, here it is!"
Xiong Kaishan untied the baggage from his back in a daze, and then opened it layer by layer. After more than ten layers, he took out the innermost box.
"Your Majesty, here's the thing!" Carefully patting the non-existent dust on the box, Xiong Kaishan grinned and trotted forward with it in hand, wanting to hand it directly to Li Shimin!
"Don't!"
When the waiter who was knocked upside down saw Xiong Kaishan's action, fear was instantly written on his face like a bitter gourd! Just as he was about to jump up and shout, he heard the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed from behind the curtain!
"It's over!" The waiter closed his eyes in despair, as if he had seen Xiong Kaishan's head flying up!
Here, no one knows better than him what kind of existence those people hiding in the darkness are!
Not to mention that Xiong Kaishan is just a small soldier, even General Yuchi, who is famous for his bravery, is no match for these proficient killing skills!
"Zheng..."
The swords are ringing, the curtains are stirring!
Seeing that Xiong Kaishan was about to fall to the ground in the next second, Li Shimin shook his head slightly at this moment.
And with this subtle movement of his, the drums continued to sway, as if the curtain containing a peerless ferocious beast instantly returned to calm!
All this happened so fast that many people didn’t even react!
Xiong Kaishan, who had never seen the emperor before, had no idea that he had just walked around the gate of hell!
Still holding the box, he walked straight in front of Li Shimin amidst the horrified or surprised eyes around him. Then he scratched his head and then remembered to kneel down on one knee and raise the wooden box above his head.
"Your Majesty, this is what the Marquis wants me to give you!"
The people who came were Xiao Han's men. Li Shimin had just learned this from the servant, so he was not too surprised to hear Xiong Kaishan's words at this time.
Nodding, Li Shimin did not use the prosthetic hand of the chamberlain who came around, but opened the wooden box himself and took out the jade seal that was glowing with light!
Four inches square, three inches high, five dragons intersecting, and golden supplementary angles! Underneath, the vermilion red words "Ordered by Heaven, May You Live Longevity" are clearly engraved on it!
"Is this the imperial seal?"
Holding this big seal in front of his eyes, Li Shimin's eyes gradually narrowed!
Once upon a time, he had dreamed of obtaining this seal, which symbolized orthodoxy and God's will!
But it wasn't until he actually held it that Li Shimin realized that there weren't many fluctuations and surprises in his heart!
It was born to belong to me! No matter who owns him, he must return it to me! Because of me! He is the one chosen by God, the real son of destiny!
"Pass the national seal!"
"Like! Like the national jade seal!"
"Gold inlaid with jade! Besides the pre-Qin piece, what other piece is there? It is said that the golden corner was knocked off by Wang Mang!"
Looking at the jade seal in Li Shimin's hand, the ministers below suddenly felt as if they were in a panic. Countless people crowded forward, wanting to see this legendary jade seal that passed down the country!
"Bring paper!" Li Shimin, who was awakened by the commotion, glanced at the civil and military officials and strode back to the desk.
And there, the waiters had already quickly removed the food and wine and replaced them with white paper and ink pads!
Grabbing the jade seal and lightly dipping it on the ink pad, Li Shimin clenched his hands and pressed it heavily on the white paper! When he lifted it up again, the eight bright red characters of "Shou Yongchang" were firmly printed on the paper!
I blew lightly on the mark on the white paper, and then compared it with the seal of the previous dynasty sent by the palace. Except for the difference in color, the rest of the two were exactly the same!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! It's destiny! Long live Your Majesty!"
"Plop"
Duan Zhixuan, who had just been transferred back to Chang'an from Luoyang, fell to his knees and shouted long live! His shameless appearance is very similar to Xiao Han when he first met Li Yuan...
"Bah! Shameless!"
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others glared at Duan Zhixuan with cold eyes. This girl has become more and more shameless since colluding with Xiao Han!
However, scolding comes with scolding, and at this time, no stupid young man would jump out to find trouble for himself! So the entire hall was quickly filled with the words "Long Live!"
"Hahahaha, all my dear friends, no courtesy!"
Li Shimin laughed loudly and grabbed the jade seal, turning it over and over carefully like a child who had just gotten a new toy.
There are blood stains on the jade seal!
I just discovered this! Although most of the blood stains had been covered by the ink pad, Li Shimin, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, still recognized at a glance that those dark red marks were left by blood!
"Who discovered this?"
Stroking the delicate jade seal, Li Shimin suddenly raised his head and asked Xiong Kaishan.
Xiong Kaishan was still in a state of sleepwalking. When he heard this, he replied without thinking: "I found it with Princess Yicheng at Princess Yicheng's place!"
"Huh? Princess Yicheng?" Li Shimin's heart jumped when he heard the name, and he immediately asked: "Where is she!"
"Dead..." Xiong Kaishan replied honestly.
"How did you die?!"
"I burned myself to death! The Marquis and I went to collect her body later, and found a silver box. When we opened it, it contained it. The Marquis also said at the beginning that the silver box was reserved for me..."
Thinking of the silver box back then, Xiong Kaishan's body ached for a while. Such a big box, now I don't know what kind of beast got a bargain!
