Li Shimin did not summon Li Yu to the palace, but came to Xuandu Temple by himself.
There are some things that cannot be known to outsiders, such as Li Yu helping him eliminate the Queen's troubles.
If word spreads, no one in the Tang Dynasty can do it, and asking a Song person to help will damage the prestige of the great country.
Moreover, everything related to the Queen's misfortune was a top secret of the Tang Dynasty, and only Li Shimin and a few confidants knew about it.
Although Li Shimin hasn't arrived yet, there are already dozens of eagle and dog guards in Xuandu Temple, and all the masters in the temple are also present.
Li Yu looked around and secretly curled his lips. He did not bring Wu Shun sisters here and was waiting for Li Shimin alone.
A small zigzag bridge crosses a clear pond, and several water lilies contrast with the reflections of the surrounding houses. Li Yu is on this small bridge, waiting for Li Shimin's arrival.
Soon, Li Shimin arrived with two guards. When he saw Li Yu, he spat hard before stepping over.
"Foreign Minister Li Yu has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin gathered his emotions, smiled sincerely and cheerfully, and said loudly: "Isn't this a serious Taoist priest? Please get up quickly. You have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and I also want to thank you."
If he hadn't seen his expression just now, Li Yu would have almost believed it.
He smiled and said: "It's all thanks to His Majesty's great blessing. This poor Taoist can fulfill his mission. How dare he take credit for it."
"I had already hosted a grand banquet in the palace, but I didn't expect that the Taoist priest left without saying goodbye. This makes me very regretful."
Are you hosting a serious royal banquet?
I’m afraid it’s not the Hongmen Banquet, right?
Li Yu bent down slightly and said in apology: "Your Majesty is unaware of something. Pindao still had one step that he had not taken at that time. He will not come to see Your Majesty until the consequences of this matter are completely eliminated."
Li Shimin looked around and saw that there were only two personal guards of his. He lowered his voice and asked: "How did you deal with the Queen's energy?"
Li Yu shook his head and said: "Ah? Is there anything else to say about Qi Pulse? Pindao just kept in the Taoist temple, like the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty, stating His Majesty's moral merits, hoping that God can help the Tang Dynasty eliminate this misfortune. In the end, the minister's words and
Your Majesty's virtue moved God, and this disaster was relieved."
Li Shimin's face darkened. This grandson was so good at talking, how should he refute it?
Could it be said that by usurping the throne of his father, killing his brothers, and seizing his sister-in-law, he could not move God at all?
Can't
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "So, Taoist Master really worked hard. It's really hard work."
"Working for a wise king like Your Majesty will not be hard for a poor man."
Li Shimin stroked the railings on the bridge, exerting slight force with his fingers, leaving a fingerprint on the wood.
If such an action can be concealed from others, then it cannot be concealed from Li Yu.
He secretly reminded himself that he could no longer be poor with him and don't make this guy angry.
Li Shimin was also a battle-hardened emperor. The founding emperors of the Six Dynasties, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang, were all fought on horseback.
Li Shimin was not the founding emperor, but he led the troops in several vicious battles during the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yu took a step forward, and the two eagle dogs immediately drew their swords. Li Shimin stretched out his hand to stop them.
Li Yu whispered: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report to Your Majesty."
"It doesn't matter, these are all my close friends."
Li Yu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, do you know about the unusual movements in Maoling a few days ago?"
"Maoling?"
Li Shimin's expression became solemn. He took Mao Ling's matter very seriously.
It was a pity that so many people were waiting there and did not wait for the tomb robbers in Maoling to come out. People in the Tang Dynasty only thought that they also died inside.
Li Yu pretended to be mysterious and said nervously: "Your Majesty does not know something. Maoling was dug up, and the gang of thieves escaped unscathed."
Li Shimin had a gloomy face. Although Maoling was the tomb of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, it was now on the land of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin had long classified it as the property of the Tang Dynasty.
Who dares to dig up Maoling and steal the Tang treasury is as bad in Li Shimin's heart.
It's even worse, because the wealth in Maolingli is conservatively estimated to be several times that of the Tang treasury.
After all, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty cost money, and the annual revenue and expenditure were almost balanced. Although the income was high, Li Shimin was a promising and wise emperor, and he did many great things during his years in office.
Every item, every piece, costs money.
But Maoling was different. When the Han Dynasty was at its most powerful, most of the country's revenue was used to fill it every year.
Everyone knows that Maoling is a mountain of gold and silver, with as many treasures as sand, but no one can enter.
It would be okay if they couldn't get in. Once someone got in, it would be like a piece of flesh being cut out of Li Shimin's heart, which made him feel very distressed.
Li Shimin's face was as dark as water, but there was no trace of anger on his face.
"How did you find out?"
Li Yu chuckled and said, "Those thieves were not secretive in their work. When one of them sold the stolen goods, my disciple received it."
Li Yu turned his hand and took out a red sword.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he stared at the sword, his eyes gradually becoming fanatical.
"Chixiao?"
Li Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty has good taste!"
It is said that Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, got a rusty iron rod from nowhere and told others that it was a sword he got from the Nanshan Immortal, and its name was Chixiao.
No one believed him at the time, until one day, Liu Bang and his men encountered a white snake in Fengze.
Liu Bang turned into a red dragon and merged with the sword. With one strike of the sword, the white snake was killed and revealed its true face, which turned out to be a dragon.
From then on, the Red Sky Sword became the sword of Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty had a close relationship with dragons throughout their lives.
After his death, the sword was passed down from generation to generation. By the time of Emperor Wu, he no longer planned to pass it on to his son and was buried in Maoling.
As soon as the Red Sky Sword comes out, there is a dragon roar that is impossible to imitate.
That trace of dragon aura reminded Li Shimin of the time when he, Li Yuan, and other heroes killed the five-clawed golden dragon in the Great Wilderness Mountain. This was the aura the beast showed.
Li Shimin did not continue to ask about the Chixiao Sword. He asked in a solemn voice: "Who dug up Maoling?"
Li Yu whispered: "Your Majesty, if I tell you this news about Pindao, I will offend someone who I dare not offend."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "I know, what conditions do you want?"
"Pindao and Wu Shun, the daughter of the warrior Yun, fell in love and wanted to bring their family to Bianliang to live together."
"Okay." Li Shimin immediately agreed without any hesitation.
Li Yu was overjoyed and stepped forward and said: "I am willing to dedicate this Chixiao Sword to Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and asked one of his eagle dogs to put away the sword. Although Chixiao was famous, it was actually of little use. It was probably because of some agreement Liu Bang had reached with the Dragon Clan back then, and the Chixiao Sword was just a pretext.
The uptight samurai Yu is of no use to him. If he is of any use, it is just for venting his anger.
He still couldn't figure out whether the Queen's misfortune was the daughter of the warrior Xun.
Because Li Yu was acting haphazardly in Lizhou, and they in the Tang Dynasty failed to catch up with any key occasion.
Now that the Queen's misfortune has been resolved, these things are no longer important.
"I don't see that you are still a lover, can you tell me now?" The daughter of the warrior Xun is very beautiful, Li Shimin has also heard of this. Li Yu was in Lizhou, and he flirted with her, and it was reported to the spies long ago.
Countless times.
Li Yu sighed and said: "Your Majesty, they are from Fangla in Qingxi Cave, Jiangnan Road. Fangla's Nine Sun Magic is unrivaled in the world, and even ten poor Taoists are no match for it. I hope your Majesty will keep it a secret."
