When Li Yuan heard Li Shimin say this, Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since Shimin has already made arrangements, then Dad will be relieved!" There is still half a year to go before the end of the armistice treaty between us and Yuming, and then there is a possibility of another big war. We must be in a good position before we can decide the battle! ”

Li Shimin also nodded, and there was also a fierce debate within Li Tang about this. Li Jiancheng advocated going north to attack Li Liang and Liang Shidu, eliminate the hidden dangers behind him, and then go east out of the Yellow River, attack Hedong in two, and recapture Li Yuan's starting place.

Li Shimin, on the other hand, advocated going south and attacking the Jingxiang area. He believed that the Tang army could be divided into two forces: one set out from Wuguan and attacked Xiangyang along the Han River, and the other set out from Badong and attacked Jiangling along the Yangtze River eastward. At that time, whether the Tang army continued to attack Jiangdong in the east and swept the land south of the Yangtze River, or went north to attack the eastern capital and Henan, it was all at ease.

In fact, these two opinions have merit, but the controversy later turned into a party struggle between Li Jiancheng's faction and the Qin King Li Shimin's faction. Both sides argue the superiority of their own opinions and the shortcomings of the other party's considerations. However, the deep-seated question is that whose opinion Li Yuan adopts will inevitably favor whose army in terms of troop deployment and material and equipment supply.

Although Li Yuan had already established Li Jiancheng, because when he attacked Guanzhong, he had said to Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji in front of the generals that whoever made the greatest contribution in the process of dominating the world would become the next emperor. The implication is that the King of Qin and the King of Qi that he is now sealing are actually just titles, and they do not set Li Jiancheng as the next emperor. So this makes the relationship between the two people delicate. Especially between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, the competition is fierce. Both sides were courting courtiers and generals in an attempt to expand their influence.

Coming to Luoyang this time, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin also fought for a long time. Later, because Li Shimin had not yet married a wife, it was more advantageous to compete for the marriage meeting to express his dreams, and after Li Yuan left, the task of supervising the country in Chang'an was also very good, and he could handle Li Tang's important political affairs on his behalf, which made Li Jiancheng agree to give up coming to Luoyang.

Li Yuan is actually not unaware of the fight between the two sons, but this is what he is happy to see, he thinks that this can prompt the two sons to be angry and establish meritorious deeds.

At this time, Sun Simiao had already collected all the names of the candidates written on the slip of paper, and then counted the number of supporters of each prince.

After a while, he smiled and announced: "After the nomination of forty-five people, the prince who finally got the most recognition was Zhou Wang Yuming, and he won a total of two or twenty-seven votes!" In second place is Tang King Li Yuan, who has won a total of 16 votes, and the first is Liang Wang Xiao Miao, who has won a total of 72 votes! Therefore, the jade seal of the country will be in charge of Zhou Wang Yuming! ”

As soon as Sun Simiao's words fell, the people at the scene immediately burst into warm applause.

Although the other princes were very unhappy, they were helpless, and could only glare at Yuming hatefully.

Li Yuan, on the other hand, showed a fierce glint in his eyes and nodded slightly to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin understood, and immediately said that he wanted to be respectful, and turned to leave.

At this time, a maid walked to Sun Simiao's side with a tray in her hand. On the tray is a very delicate colored jade box.

Yu Ming in the cheers of the crowd, walked to the center of the Dao Palace, took the jade box from Sun Simiao's hand, he opened it, only to see that it was a boxy seal, a radius of about four inches, on the New York handed over five dragons, the front engraved with "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" eight seal characters. It seems to be missing a piece in its corners and had to be set with gold.

He naturally knew the origin of this gold-inlaid jade seal.

The "heirloom jade seal" is based on the "He's Bi". In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu people Bian He got a piece of jade in the mountains and dedicated it to King Li. The king made the jade worker identify, and the cloud was also stone. The king was angry, and slashed Bian and his left foot for the crime of bullying the king. After King Wu ascended the throne, Bian He returned to offer jade, but still cut his right foot again for the crime of bullying the king. And the king ascended the throne, Bian and Baoyu sat and cried under Jing Mountain. The king sent people to inquire and said: "I am not a sad man, but a sad husband and a precious jade and a stone is inscribed, and a chaste man is named after a scholar." ”

The king made the good work dissected, and the fruit was treasured, because of the name and the family. When the king was right, the more the Xiangguo Zhaoyang was destroyed, and the king gave it to him with this. Xuan Zhaoyang feasted the guests on the side of the water abyss, and someone shouted: "There are big fish in the abyss!" Everyone left the room to watch it, and after returning to the table, He's Bi disappeared. At that time, it was suspected that it was stolen by the doorman Zhang Yi, so he was detained and tortured to no avail. Zhang Yi was humiliated by this, and held a grudge, so he left Chu to enter Wei, and then entered Qin, and in the tenth year of Queen Qin Hui (315 BC), he worshiped as the prime minister of Qin, and persuaded the countries to join Qin and turn their backs on Qi, and then enter Chu as an envoy to disintegrate the Qi-Chu alliance. After detaining the king, Keyingdu, and taking all the land in Chu and Hanzhong, he finally had to avenge this.

Later, this bi was obtained by Zhao Guojian Yingxian, and was taken by King Zhao Hui as his own. King Qin Zhao heard it, "Suicide note King Zhao, willing to invite Yi Bi with fifteen cities", at that time, Qin was strong and Zhao was weak, and King Zhao was afraid of offering Bi and could not get his city, so he was in a dilemma. Lin Xiangru invited himself to Qin, and after offering the bi, he saw that the king of Qin had no intention of paying for the city, but fought for the court, and would rather die than disgrace the mission, and threatened to throw the bi, which finally caused the king of Qin to compromise and be able to "return to Zhao".

In the nineteenth year of the reign of King Qin (228 BC), Qin Po Zhao and his family were born. The world is unified, and Yingzheng is called the first emperor. Ordered Li Si seal book "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" eight characters, Xianyang jade worker Wang Sun Shou will be the and the family of the bi fine grinding, carved for the seal, the country jade seal is completed. It is rumored that in the twenty-eighth year of the reign of King Qin (219 BC), Qin Shi Huang crossed Dongting Lake by dragon boat, the wind and waves rose suddenly, and the dragon boat was about to capsize. The jade seal was thus lost. Eight years later, someone in Huayin Pingshu Dao presented this jade seal to the country. Naturally, it has changed hands with the country more than a dozen times, and has tasted the pain of ups and downs.

In the winter of the first year of Qin Ying (207 BC), Pei Gong Liu Bangjun was on the throne, and the baby knelt and held the jade seal and dedicated it to the left of Xianyang Road, and Qin died. The jade seal of the country has to be returned to Liu Han. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, a relative, usurped power, and the infant was young, and the seal was hidden behind the Changle Palace. Wang Mang sent his brother Wang Shun to come, and then he was angry and scolded him, and threw the seal to the ground, breaking a corner of it. Wang Mang ordered the craftsmen to make up for it with gold. And the reckless army was defeated and killed, and the captain of the Praetorian Guard was passed on to the jade seal of the country, tended to Wan, and dedicated it to the first emperor Liu Xuan. In the year of the first emperor Liu Xuan (25 AD), the Red Mei Army killed Liu Xuan and established Liu Pen. Later, Liu Pen's army defeated Yiyang and handed over the jade seal of the country to Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuchs were autocratic. In the sixth year of Emperor Ling's reign, Yuan Shao entered the palace to kill the eunuchs, Duan fled with the emperor, and the jade seal disappeared.

When the emperor was presented, Dong Zhuo was in turmoil. Sun Jian led his army into Luoyang. On a certain day, the soldiers saw that there were colorful clouds in a well in the Zhen Palace in the south of the city, so they made people enter the well, and saw a small box tied around the neck of the palace maid who committed suicide by throwing herself into the well, and the jade seal of the country was hidden in the box. Sun Jianru obtained the treasure and hid it in his wife Wu's place. Later, Yuan Shu detained Wu and seized the seal. Yuan Shu died, Jingzhou assassin Xu brought the seal to Xuchang, when Cao Cao coerced the emperor and ordered the princes, so far, the jade seal of the country has to return to the Han family.

In the first year of Emperor Yankang of the Han Dynasty (220 AD), Emperor Xian was forced to "let Chan", Cao Pi built Wei, and changed the Yuan to the beginning of the Huang Dynasty. It is to make people engrave the word "Great Wei by the Han Dynasty Jade Seal" on the shoulder of the jade seal of the country, in order to prove that it is not a "usurpation of the Han", but it is actually to cover it. In the second year of Emperor Cao Huan Xianxi of Wei Yuan (265 AD), Sima Yan followed the same line, called Emperor Wu of Jin, changed the beginning of Yuan Taishi, and returned to Jin with the jade seal of the country. In the fifth year of Jin Yongjia (311 AD), the former Zhao Liu Cong captured Sima Chi, the emperor of Jin Huai, and returned to the former Zhao. Nineteen years later, Hou Zhao Shi strangled the former Zhao and got the seal. More ingenious, on the right side of the engraved "Mandate of Heaven". Another 20 years, and then Ran Wei, after Ran Wei begged for the rescue of the Eastern Jin army, the jade seal of the country was deceived by the Jin generals, and sent to Du Jiankang (now Nanjing) overnight with fine horses, thus, the jade seal of the country was returned to the Jin Dynasty Sima bag.

During the Southern Dynasties, the jade seal of the country went through the four generations of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen. The Sui unified China and included the jade seal of the country in the Sui Palace. When the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, the jade seal of the country fell into the hands of his father Yuhua and others, but when he was defeated and fled, the soldiers who carried the seal were seriously injured and separated, so he handed the seal to Sun Simiao, who treated him.

Now, this heirloom jade seal has officially fallen into his hands.

At this time, all the major princes came up to congratulate, including Li Rail, Shen Faxing, Li Tong and others, and the congratulations were more sincere. After all, they also knew very well that even if this jade seal did not fall into the hands of Yu Ming, it would fall into the hands of Li Yuan. It is impossible to get your turn. And after Yuming gets this jade seal, his momentum and prestige will rise greatly, and he may become the final winner in the war for world domination. Get on a good relationship with him as soon as possible, and in the future, you can surrender at the right time, be a rich man, and live a peaceful life.

And Li Yuan, Liang Shidu, Du Fuwei and others had gloomy faces, looking at the heirloom jade seal in Yuming's hand, eager to snatch it over.

Sun Simiao also reminded in a low voice: "King Zhou, after I leave the mansion, I will no longer care about the whereabouts of this heirloom jade seal, it can be regarded as a matter of concern." But I think many people are eyeing this jade seal. You have to be careful! ”

Yu Ming's heart froze, and then he nodded solemnly and said, "Please rest assured, the Medicine King, you must be careful in the future!" ”

Immediately, he put the heirloom jade seal back into the jade box, and then handed it to Red Sleeves.

Red Sleeves carefully wrapped the jade box containing the heirloom jade seal in a pocket and tied it to his waist.

The meeting was officially over, and the princes took their leave one after another to prepare for the next day's battle.
