Standing in the center of the hall, Xiong Kaishan 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 ground!
But when Li Shimin saw Xiong Kaishan's appearance, he only had a happy smile in his eyes.
Compared with Li Jing, Li Daozong and other wise and Confucian generals.
In fact, Li Shimin's favorite is Liu Hongji and Cheng Yaojin, who are such stubborn generals!
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 numerous 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 that Li Shimin was trying to kill the donkey, but that this 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 servant who was knocked down saw Xiong Kaishan's action, fear was written all over 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 swaying continued, 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 met 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 amid looks of shock or surprise. 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 wasn't too surprised when he heard Xiong Kaishan's words.
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!
It is four inches square and three inches high, with five dragons intertwining and gold supplementary corners! At the bottom, there are several simple large vermilion characters "Ordered by Heaven, and you will live forever", which are clearly carved 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 divine 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 should belong to me by nature! No matter who owns it, they must give it back to me! Because I! I am the person chosen by God and the real son of destiny!
"Pass the national seal!"
"Like! Like the jade seal passed down from the country!"
"Gold inlaid with jade! Besides the pre-Qin piece, what else 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 passed down to the country!
"Bring the 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 in the ink pad, Li Shimin held it tightly with both hands and pressed it heavily on the white paper! When he lifted it up again, the eight bright red characters "I was ordered to live by heaven" and "longevity and longevity" were firmly printed on it.
On 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 to Your Majesty! Your destiny has been fulfilled! 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 look was very much like 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, as scolding goes, no stupid young man jumped out to find trouble for himself at this time! So the whole hall was soon 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 have been covered by ink pad, Li Shimin, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, can still recognize at a glance that those dark red marks are 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 back to the original silver box, Xiong Kaishan's body ached for a while. With such a big box, he didn't know what kind of beast it was at this time!
