Chapter 847: Presented to Your Majesty
Listening to Princess Yicheng's narration, Luo Zhang finally understood the other side of history. He was afraid that the Tang Emperor also obtained the imperial seal after defeating the Turkic Queen, but history was slightly rewritten because of his arrival.
Princess Yicheng was not rescued by Li Jing's defeat of the Turkic king, but by Sun Simiao. This is completely different from history.
Historically, it was Princess Yicheng who presented the imperial seal, but now the situation has changed.
When Princess Yicheng took out the imperial seal, she asked him to help her. I am afraid that the reason for her help was to allow him to transfer the imperial seal to His Majesty.
The reason for this was historically to solve her identity problem, and I'm afraid it's the same now, otherwise she wouldn't have given up such a valuable thing in exchange for a lifetime of peace.
Putting the jade seal gently into the wooden box, Luo Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Princess is a great righteousness, Luo Zhang would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty!"
After saying that, Luo Zhang stood up and bowed deeply to Princess Yicheng!
This object is not about its high value, but its symbolic meaning. Having this object represents its legitimacy and the stability of the imperial power.
Didn’t you see what was engraved under the jade seal? I was ordered by heaven to live a long and prosperous life.
This is a title bestowed upon you by God. Doesn’t it represent legitimacy?
Li Shimin was the one who killed his brother to seize the throne. If he had this thing, who would dare to say such things to him secretly?
"You don't have to be like this. I think you can guess my purpose of taking out this thing. If I can have peace for the rest of my life, I will be satisfied. I hope you can talk to Your Majesty for me!" Princess Yicheng said sincerely.
Sun Simiao on the side also helped: "Zhang'er, if you can help, please do so. This is the first time that grandpa has asked you for anything!"
Listening to Sun Simiao's words, I wouldn't believe it even if I beat him to death if they said they didn't have an affair. When had Sun Simiao ever begged for help?
Most of the time, people asked him to help cure diseases, and he was afraid that he would ask for any conditions. If he opened his mouth, as long as one thing was done, he owed him a favor, and he was afraid that all the big families in Chang'an would flock to him.
These days, no one has a headache, a fever, or a serious injury.
Who is Sun Simiao? He is a living god and a miracle doctor. One of his favors may save his life at a critical moment.
Who wouldn’t go to great lengths for this favor?
Besides, Sun Simiao was his godfather, so Luo Zhang had no reason to refuse.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhang smiled and said: "Grandpa Sun, what are you doing? Aren't you slapping my grandson in the face? If you don't tell me, I will help Duke Yicheng take care of it. You
Just don’t worry!”
"Thank you very much!" Princess Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her.
Originally he didn't want to stay at home, but when this happened, Luo Zhang hurriedly changed his clothes, took the imperial seal and went to the palace.
Arriving outside the gate of the imperial city, a group of courtiers who were preparing to go to court were gathering together in twos and threes and chatting.
Seeing Luo Zhang's arrival, Cheng Yaojin and others were about to call him over, but Luo Zhang didn't stop and went straight to the gate of the imperial city and said a few words to the guards.
The guard naturally knew Luo Zhang. After listening to his words, he ran towards the palace. After a while, Eunuch Huang ran out.
"Luo Zhang, why did you call me out in such a hurry? I'm going to court soon. Is there anything you can't talk about after court?" Eunuch Huang said with some complaint.
"Eunuch Huang, I'm in a hurry to find you because I have something important to tell His Majesty. Please take me in quickly. I can't wait for a moment. Don't worry, His Majesty will never blame you!" Luo Zhang said with certainty.
Seeing Luo Zhang's solemn expression, Eunuch Huang felt that something important was going on and did not dare to delay. He hurriedly said hello to the guards and led Luo Zhang towards the palace in a hurry.
Seeing Luo Zhang hurriedly entering the palace, the officials immediately exploded outside the imperial city gate. They all speculated about what happened to Luo Zhang. Could something have happened if he entered the palace in such a hurry?
Civil and military officials, you look at me, I look at you, they all want to get some useful information from each other, but what disappoints them is that they don't know why Luo Zhang came to the palace to meet the saint!
Some people who have a gap with Luo Zhang are even speculating whether Luo Zhang wants to read their book, and the more are just curious!
At this time, Li Shimin had just gotten up and was eating in the imperial study. When Luo Zhang was brought in by Eunuch Huang, Li Shimin was also a little surprised. It was already early in the morning. What was this kid doing here?
"Luo Zhang, why did you rush to ask Eunuch Huang to bring you in?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report. Your Majesty, please step aside!" Luo Zhang took a deep breath and said.
Seeing that Luo Zhang didn't look like he was joking, Li Shimin's expression became much more serious. He waved his hand and asked the guards and maids to retreat, leaving only Eunuch Huang to look after him. Then he looked at Luo Zhang again and said, "Everyone is gone! Tell me, what do you want?"
"Your Majesty, please take a look at this!" Luo Zhang didn't say anything, but handed the box in his arms to Huang Gonggong.
Eunuch Huang took the sandalwood box from Luo Zhang and placed it in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at the sandalwood box in front of him suspiciously and said, "What is this?"
"Your Majesty will know at a glance, no need for explanation!" Luo Zhang straightened up slightly and said.
"Huh? You can tell at a glance? You're trying to be mysterious!" Li Shimin said a little unhappy.
Since he was asked to see it, he just wanted to see it. If it wasn't something important, Luo Zhang would be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor!
Li Shimin thought to himself, reached out and opened the box.
What catches the eye is a jade seal as white as jade!
"Yuxi!" When Li Shimin saw Yuxi, even though he was mature and steady, he couldn't help but exclaimed!
"Where did this come from?" Li Shimin looked at the jade seal and asked with a somewhat ugly look on his face.
You must know that not everyone can own a jade seal. Only emperors are worthy of it. And Luo Zhang brought a jade seal. Could it be that someone wants to rebel?
"Your Majesty, take a closer look!" Luo Zhang obviously saw what His Majesty was thinking, and spoke again to make a point.
"Look again?" Li Shimin was stunned, and his eyes focused on the jade seal again.
"Eh!" When he saw the incomplete corner made of gold, Li Shimin inevitably thought of something in his mind, but he was not sure yet.
In order to confirm that it was that kind of thing, Li Shimin, like Luo Zhang, reached out and picked up the jade seal and turned it over.
You can see eight big characters engraved on the bottom, "I am ordered by heaven, and you will live forever!"
"This!!! This is the Jade Seal of the Kingdom!!!" Li Shimin almost bit his tongue. He never dreamed that the thing in his hand was the Jade Seal of the Kingdom!
This thing is something that every emperor wants to own. Having this thing represents orthodoxy and represents that the imperial power is mandated by heaven!
In order to verify that the thing in his hand was genuine, Li Shimin couldn't wait to dip it in red mud and print it on a piece of white paper!
