When Li Shentong heard the affirmative answer, he asked with some hatred: "Why don't you just bring it over?"
Ma Sanbao understood the meaning of Li Shen's call and said with a wry smile: "I also thought about taking it by force, but she carries a hammer with her. As soon as I get close, she will immediately take out the hammer."
Li Shentong gritted his teeth and said with some air: "This is because you don't dare to let Jin Xiangyu get any damage, that's why I threaten you like this."
Ma Sanbao said with a bitter face: "Who says it's not the case..."
At this time, Li Yuanji sighed faintly: "Now we are being threatened..."
Li Shentong turned his face sideways and said, "How are you going to deal with it?"
Li Yuanji thought for a while and sighed: "Let's take it one step at a time. Let's see what she wants first and then make a decision."
Speaking of this, Li Yuanji looked at Li Shentong and said without any doubt: "Anyway, gold inlaid with jade, I, the Tang Dynasty, am determined to win!"
Li Shentong nodded heavily.
Li Yuanji calmed down and walked slowly down the stairs.
A princess from the previous dynasty was not worthy of being rushed in person to greet her, but if she had a princess with gold and jade, it would be different.
As long as the gold and jade can be guaranteed not to be damaged, even if Yicheng asked Datang for one hundred thousand taels or one million taels of gold, he would give it to her without hesitation, let alone welcoming her in person.
The political significance represented by gold inlaid with jade is so important that it can almost be said to represent the orthodoxy of the Central Plains dynasty.
In history, countless outstanding people died fighting for gold and jade.
If Li Congke and Queen Cao of the Later Tang Dynasty had not set themselves on fire in Xuanwu Tower, causing Jin Xiangyu to disappear, even more outstanding people would have died.
That is to say, since the late Tang Dynasty, gold inlaid with jade has been completely lost. Although traces of gold inlaid with jade have been found in the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, they are almost all rumors.
After Li Yuanji walked to Yicheng's carriage, he said straight to the point: "I wonder why my cousin is willing to hand over the gold inlaid jade to me?"
Yicheng sat steadily in the carriage and said with a sarcastic face: "Gold inlaid with jade? Isn't it the jade seal passed down from the country?"
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said: "If the Tang Dynasty recognizes it, it is the national jade seal. If the Tang Dynasty does not recognize it, it is just a piece of gold inlaid with jade."
When Yicheng heard this, the sarcasm on his face became even stronger, "In that case, you Li Ni can do without it? How about I destroy it now?"
With that said, Yicheng took out a golden hammer from his sleeve and started to smash it against the box.
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
Li Shentong and Ma Sanbao, who were following Li Yuanji, all spoke out.
Li Yuanji seemed to have not seen Yicheng's actions and still smiled indifferently: "If my cousin wants to smash it, I can smash it. But this gold inlaid jade is not unique to your Yang family.
If my cousin smashes it, the Yang family will be infamy for eternity."
The jade inlaid with gold originally belonged to the State of Zhao in the pre-Qin period. Later, when the State of Qin destroyed Zhao, it obtained this object and carved it into a jade seal passed down to the country.
Then it was passed down from generation to generation.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, it is not something unique to the Yang family, but something common to all Han people in the world.
When Yicheng destroyed it, he destroyed the orthodox inheritance of all Han people in the world.
It would be weird not to get scolded.
Yicheng sneered and said, "Do you think I will care?"
However, although Yicheng's words were very strong, the hammer in his hand did not fall for a long time.
Li Yuanji continued to smile and said: "Of course I know that my cousin doesn't care, but other people in the Yang family do, and my cousin doesn't want to see other people in the Yang family being criticized, right?"
The smile on Yicheng's face became even colder, "As my clan in the Sui Dynasty, they did not protect my country in the Sui Dynasty. Instead, they helped the tyrants and worked hard for you, Li Ni. I don't care about their life or death."
The smile on Li Yuanji's face faded and he said: "Then how can my cousin be willing to hand over the gold inlaid jade?"
Yicheng stared and said word by word: "I want you, Li Ni, to return my Yang family's empire!"
Li Yuanji laughed out loud and said: "My cousin has also been a Ke He Dun for more than 20 years, how could he be so naive?"
Let Li surrender his empire for a piece of gold and jade?
This is nonsense.
Li would rather not have gold and jade, but it is impossible to hand over the country.
Without gold and jade, the Li family can still rule the world and remain a royal family.
Li Yuan ordered someone to carve a fortune-telling treasure, and Mrs. Li is using it very well now.
After the gold inlaid jade was lost, the emperors of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties ordered their seals to be engraved and used them well.
I have never seen anyone say that the lack of gold and jade affects the rule.
Therefore, gold inlaid with jade is just a heritage item with great political significance, and is not a necessity for the establishment of a country.
For any dynasty, having it is the icing on the cake, and not having it will not affect the rule.
Yicheng is also a person who has been a queen in Turks for more than 20 years. He would actually say such a thing, which is really childish and laughable.
"Just tell me whether you agree or not?"
Yicheng became a little angry.
She also knew that the request she made was excessive and childish.
But she didn't know what she could ask for, what she could exchange gold and jade with Li, so she had no choice but to open her mouth.
Now that Li Yuanji was pushing her against the wall, she was a little bit stuck in a trap, so she had the idea of death together.
Li Yuanji shook his head without any hesitation: "You should know that this is simply impossible!"
A cruel look flashed across Yicheng's face, "Then I'll chop it into pieces and hang myself here!"
As he spoke, he raised the golden hammer in his hand high.
Li Yuanji said calmly: "It's up to you, but after you die, I will issue an order in the name of your intention to murder my father, and let the local government offices hunt down your Yang family members and kill them all.
When I attack the Turkic royal court again in the future, I will also kill Yang Zhengdao and others."
Yicheng's eyes widened in disbelief and he shouted angrily: "You are shameless!"
Li Yuanji sneered: "You were rude first, and you wanted to blackmail me with the help of gold and jade, so don't blame me for being cruel."
Yicheng was so angry that he slapped the box in his hand hard.
Li Yuanji's heart tugged, Li Shentong and others stared in horror, their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.
However, Li Yuanji still had a sneer on his face and ordered calmly: "Liu Jun, go to Chengqing Palace to invite my cousin's niece and send her on her way."
Yicheng Zeng stood up immediately, and Li Shentong and others also looked at Li Yuanji in disbelief.
The niece of Yicheng mentioned by Li Yuanji was Li Shimin's Mrs. Yang, the concubine Yang in history.
"you dare!"
Yicheng shouted angrily.
Li Yuanji sneered and said, "What am I afraid of?"
Yicheng roared: "That's your brother's side room, your sister-in-law!"
Li Yuanji said disdainfully: "My brother has been imprisoned by me, and his life and death are uncertain, let alone my sister-in-law."
At this point, Li Yuanji stared at Liu Jun and yelled angrily: "Why don't you go when I ask you to go? Don't you understand what I say?"
Liu Jun quickly bowed and said: "I obey your order..."
After saying that, he led the people and ran towards Chengqing Hall.
When Yi Cheng heard this, he said with shock and pride: "Have you usurped your father's throne?"
Li Yuanji chuckled: "So what?"
Yicheng pointed at Li Yuanji and said tremblingly: "You! You and Yang Guang are the same!"
Li Yuanji said nonchalantly: "Whatever you say, let me ask you one last question, do you want to hand over Jin Xiangyu? If you hand over, I can meet your two conditions. If you don't hand over, I will immediately order someone to mess with you."
Cut the body into pieces with a knife, and then order people to pursue the remnants of your Yang family!"
"you dare!
"
Yicheng shouted angrily again and raised the box in his hand high.
This time, instead of smashing it, I dropped it.
But Li Yuanji didn't even look at it, and walked into the Tai Chi Hall without looking back.
Yicheng held the box high, but did not drop it for a long time.
Seeing that Li Yuanji was about to walk up the stairs in front of the Tai Chi Hall, he said unwillingly: "Wait a minute!"
Li Yuanji paused, but did not look back.
Yi Cheng looked as if his spine had been ripped out, his face was ferocious, but he lacked confidence and said: "Do you...do what you just said count?"
Li Yuanji knew what Yicheng was referring to, so he turned around and nodded with an indifferent expression.
Yicheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I want you to return the old Suiguogong mansion of my Yang family, and don't allow anyone to disturb me again."
The mansion of the Duke of Sui Dynasty mentioned by Yicheng was the house where Yicheng's grandfather and father lived when they were still the Duke of Sui.
The house is now owned by Li Daoli, Prince of Gaoping County.
It is not difficult for Li Daoli to vacate his house and move to another place.
So Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
Yicheng continued: "I want you to keep Yang Zhengdao alive after you defeat the Turks."
Li Yuanji did not hesitate and nodded: "Okay!"
Historically, after Yang Zhengdao and the Xiao family returned to the Tang Dynasty with gold and jade, Li Shimin not only spared their lives, but also treated them favorably.
I haven't seen them causing any trouble, so I can agree to this.
"Plop..."
After Yicheng made the two conditions, he immediately fell into the carriage, his face bloodless, as if he had lost his soul.
The maid who was serving her hesitated for a moment, then knelt down beside her.
Li Yuanji winked at Li Shentong, who quickly stepped forward and carefully took the box from Yicheng's hand.
Afraid that Yicheng would regret it and take it away by force.
After Li Shentong got the box, he swooped out more than ten feet away.
After confirming that Yicheng had not moved and would not take the box by force, he felt relieved and held the box in front of Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji did not rush to take the box, but instead ordered the soldiers: "Escort my cousin to my villa to rest. When the place my cousin wants is vacated, you can return to the camp."
All the soldiers agreed in unison, got up and escorted Yicheng away from the front of Tai Chi Hall.
After Yicheng put forward the conditions, Yicheng never said a word or responded at all, like a zombie.
