Chapter 20 The Jade Seal of the Country
Who is Kang Sumi? He was a close confidant of Jieli and was nominally a military commander responsible for protecting the Later Sui government-in-exile. In fact, whether it is protection or surveillance, it is up to you to understand.
Then why did Princess Yicheng lose her temper on the spot when she saw that wooden box? Because what was contained in that wooden box was the heirloom jade seal that represented the legitimacy of the Central Plains regime!
Heirloom jade seal? Li Kuan was a little surprised, looking at the fat man kneeling in front of him, his face full of doubts: "What is this thing for?" ”
Oh yes! The whole audience was messy in the wind, you don't know this? You're kidding, right? You must be joking, right?!
Especially Tang Jian and Wen Yanbo, both of them were so hot that they couldn't wait to pounce on this thing and grab it. glanced at Li Kuan, taking this thing back is much more important than catching Jieli!
Kang Sumi is the one who is really depressed, he took such a big risk, and betrayed Hou Sui and Jieli at the same time, in order to use this thing to get some benefits for himself in the Tang Dynasty? Why don't you know the value of this treasure?! How else does this make people talk about conditions?
Empress Xiao didn't know what she whispered, Princess Yicheng sat back with hatred on her face, her eyes were angry and she hated to burn this fat man to ashes.
Wen Yanbo explained in a low voice: "The jade seal of the country was engraved by the first emperor after Qin unified the world, and the first emperor ordered Prime Minister Li Si to engrave it with He's bi. The inscription is 'ordered by the heavens, both by Yongchang'. On the day of Qin's death, the young emperor's son and baby were presented in front of the ancestral horse of Han Gao. This treasure is the inheritance of the country......"
Kang Sumi hurriedly responded: "Your Highness! This treasure belongs to Tang, which is the destiny of heaven. With this treasure, Datang has been the orthodox ...... of the Central Plains since then."
Li Kuan wanted to laugh a little, stretched out his hand and made a false move, and the wooden box flew to his desk, opened the wooden box very casually, took out the warm jade seal to watch, took a closer look, and said curiously: "Huh? There's still a corner of this that has been mended, and it's all broken......"
Father! Tang Jian couldn't wait to rush over and grab it: "Your Highness! That was when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty in the past, he was thrown to the ground by the Queen Mother. Wang Mang completes it with gold inlay...... This is the real heirloom jade seal! ”
Li Kuan turned around in surprise: "You can tell the truth from such a distance?" He handed it to him: "Have you seen it before?" ”
He can be casual, Tang Jian didn't dare, so he hurriedly put on a respectful gesture, took it with both hands, played and observed it carefully, a little afraid to decide, and handed it to Wen Yanbo, Lao Wen had seen this thing before. In order to ensure everything, I took a piece of tribute paper and carefully printed a copy, which is indeed genuine. Only then did he return Li Kuan.
Li Kuan took back the jade seal, put it back into the wooden box, and looked at Kang Sumi who was kneeling in front of him: "This thing is yours?" ”
Kang Sumi couldn't answer.
Princess Yicheng snorted coldly: "The jade seal was brought to Northern Xinjiang by the Queen Mother, and in exchange for a foothold, it was pledged to Jieli. This person was assigned by Jieli to take care of the jade seal and guard the royal family. Now it'......"
Kang Sumi retorted loudly: "How unwise is Your Highness! Since ancient times, those who follow the sky have prospered, and those who have rebelled against the sky have died. Today, the Tang Dynasty is carried by the sky, and the herdsmen ...... on behalf of the heavens"
Belch? Li Kuan interrupted directly: "This sounds familiar, where did you hear it?" ”
Kang Sumi was a little proud: "This is the original words that His Highness taught Luo Yi that day!" ”
Li Kuan's sudden smile: "You are a Turk, and you have learned a lot of Central Plains dialect. Unfortunately, you still don't understand. ”
Kang Sumi's heart was a little unstable, and he said in a trembling voice: "Please also ask Your Highness for guidance!" ”
Li Kuan said with a smile: "The so-called those who follow the sky prosper, and those who go against the sky die." So what is a day? Do you really think that those immortal masters in the sky have the leisure to take care of these bad things? The ancestor said that heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs. It means that in their eyes, everything in the world is the same. People are no different from pigs, dogs, horses and cows, flowers and trees! Do you really think that if you listen to him, he will make you live a long life? The cow and sheep also listened to him, and they weren't going to be slaughtered and eaten for meat?! ”
Wow, that really shocked. What's going on? Aren't you His Royal Highness the King of Chu in the Tang Dynasty? How could such a rebellious thing come true!
Not only Kang Sumi, but even Tang Jian and Wen Yanbo were a little entangled. In addition to these hosts and guests, there are also a lot of guests and idlers who are here today, if this word spreads. Ha, even your King of Chu doesn't recognize Li Tang's orthodoxy...... What does this make people think?
Li Kuan continued: "In the world, people in the world are in heaven and earth. What is the sky, the will of the people is the sky! That's why it is said that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. The country is orthodox, not where the capital is, not how high the palace throne is, and not who is in the hands of a jade seal! It can be seen that the people have no worries about food and clothing, that the captives are overturned, that the treasury is abundant, and that the officials are clear and clear! Do you really think that a mere jade seal can determine the orthodoxy of the country?! ”
Tang Jian and Wen Yanbo praised in unison: "Cai! Even Princess Yicheng and Empress Xiao and others also changed their complexions, this insight, where can an eight-year-old child have!
Li Kuan sneered at him: "Since you have been appointed by your own khan, you should be faithful. But in order to seek a chance to advance, he betrayed his duty and betrayed the trust of your Khan. Take what someone else sends you in exchange for your own personal gain! To tell the truth, this king has traveled nine days and ten places, and he has seen many shameless people, but he has never seen such a shameless person as you! ”
Rumble! There was a burst of forced laughter during the feast, and few people had spoken in such a playful way these days. In particular, a few Turkic nobles were planning to use alcohol to cover up the embarrassment caused by the fat man, and they were choked and coughed.
Kang Sumi is messy, this is not the script he thinks! Now what? The spirit that rushed in just now had long since disappeared, and I only felt that the people in the entire tent were all pointing at themselves and laughing. What's even more terrifying is that when you get out of this tent, where can you go to live?
Li Kuan saw that the fat man was silent, and he was a little funny: "Are you still waiting for the food to be served?" ”
Rumble! This time I really couldn't hide it, and I all laughed.
Kang Sumi cried directly: "Your Highness...... Help me! ”
Li Kuan couldn't cry or laugh: "I have a sentence that scolds the street, and I don't know whether to say it or not...... Do your family know that you are like this? ”
The style of painting has completely changed, and the originally noble and elegant aristocratic family banquet has suddenly become a place for the people in the market to laugh.
I really can't hold it back, this prince is too messy, just listening to his words, how lofty, even a person like Empress Xiao who has been wandering for many years really agrees with his statement in his heart. But now, what's going on?
Li Kuan waved his hand: "Go back quickly, your family is still waiting for you to eat!" You're staying here, and everyone has no appetite......"
Kang Sumi walked out of the big tent in despair, but he didn't go out of the main gate of the temple, but quietly bypassed the tent, preparing to flee directly. But he didn't want to, someone had already stared at his actions, and just a few steps after turning the big tent, a chill passed through his neck, and he only felt that the world was spinning......
If this guy walked through the front door, it would be beyond the scope of Li Kuan's divine sense, but when he walked this way, he was less than fifty meters away from Li Kuan's straight-line distance. This scene completely fell into the eyes. Although Li Kuan was a little surprised, he could also figure it out. Without their own protection, there are many people who want to kill this dead fat man.
The first time I saw this jade seal, I took a human life. It's not a good thing.
Kang Sumi was taken away, but Yuxi stayed. During the banquet, a group of people stared at each other, all waiting to see what the eight-year-old Mengmeng Highness would do with this baby.
Li Kuanbox put on the wooden box, raised his hand slightly, and the wooden box slowly flew to the opposite Yang Zhengdao case. Tang Jian and Wen Yanbo almost shouted on the spot, but they immediately calmed down. After all, it is an old Jianghu, and this bit of Taoism still exists.
Yang Zhengdao was still stupidly touching the wooden box and was happy, and his expression seemed to be a little excited?
Li Kuan smacked his lips and said, "Today is a family banquet, don't let these irrelevant things affect your mood." To be honest, I haven't eaten it in the morning until now. Why don't we serve it? ”
Ha! Princess Yicheng hurriedly clapped her hands and motioned to the waiter to pass the food. As for singing, dancing, drumming, and the like, this is a shrine, and you can't use musical instruments unless you are sacrificial and ceremonial.
Because of the return of the jade seal, Princess Yicheng admired Li Kuan even more. From time to time, he mentioned the scenery of Guanzhong in his previous impression, and asked Tang Jian how the current situation was. Hearing that the Turks have been in the army for many years, it has affected the lives of the people very much, and his face is somewhat embarrassed.
Princess Yicheng and Empress Xiao each tasted a glass of medicinal wine, and then instructed their subordinates to quickly put it away, but others were not allowed to taste it, this was given to them by the Li family's Xiaoerlangjun. The only one in the world!
Of course, the wine used for the banquet is the top-notch Sanle pulp, but Li Kuan is not interested in this thing at all. only shirked that he was too young, and the master did not let him touch the wine. After casually tasting a few dishes, I began to prepare for the magnification move.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. As the sky grew darker, Princess Yoshinari instructed the waiter to hold the lamp. Dozens of candlesticks were lit up gradually, and the dimly lit tents were brightly lit.
At this moment, the door of the tent suddenly darkened, and a huge strange figure floated in. Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, and the figure floating in with the tent gradually became smaller, and by the time Li Kuan's case was a few days ago, it had shrunk to the point that it was no different from ordinary people.
Everyone was startled by the strange man who suddenly broke in, and subconsciously wanted to ask, but at the same time, they were shocked to find that they didn't seem to be able to make any sound at all, or even make any movements!
I heard the figure say to Li Kuan in an extremely helpless tone: "Did you kill a monk?" ”
Li Kuan was a little confused at first, and suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Grandpa! ”
Although he couldn't move, everyone's consciousness was awake, and when he heard this title, he was shocked at the same time, his grandfather? Isn't it the eldest grandson? I've been dead for more than ten years! What does this mean?
At the same time, some people were even more shocked to find that the originally normal candle flame turned green at some point!
