Man Tanghong

Chapter 719 Gold Inlaid Jade!
"You don't need to be too polite, you have returned from Daizhou to Chang'an non-stop, and rushed into the palace in such a hurry, you must have something important to report to me, right?"

Li Yuanji took advantage of Li Shentong's attack on Ma Sanbao, and gave Ma Sanbao a step.

Ma Sanbao said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please move outside the hall. Some people are willing to come out only if His Highness needs to appear in person."

Li Yuanji was taken aback for a moment.

Li Shentong sneered unceremoniously: "Who is so big of face that I need my Prince Jianguo of the Tang Dynasty to meet in person?"

After the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, it was already considered a hegemony.

In the whole world, only outsiders have the opportunity to meet Li Yuanji, and Li Yuanji has no opportunity to meet outsiders in person.

Ma Sanbao didn't speak, just quietly holding his fists.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji couldn't continue to find steps for Ma Sanbao, so he could only jokingly say: "Okay, then I'll go and see, if the person you brought back is not worthy of my personal visit, I can I can't forgive you."

Ma Sanbao still didn't speak, just stood up and made a gesture of please.

Li Shentong snorted coldly: "Pretend!"

Li Yuanji didn't speak again, got up and walked out of the hall.

When we got outside the hall, we saw two not-so-luxurious, and even some broken carriages parked under the steps. Four hundred soldiers stood guard around the carriages, not allowing anyone to approach them.

Li Yuanji didn't go down the stairs, but stood on the stairs condescendingly, and said in a loud voice: "Who has such a big face that I need to greet him in person?"

All four hundred soldiers knelt down on one knee.

The curtain of one of the carriages was lifted, revealing a petite face. After the petite face completely lifted the curtain of the carriage, a woman who was not luxuriously dressed but possessed an air of luxury , sitting in the carriage as firmly as Mount Tai.

Li Yuanji didn't have any impression of it, but felt that the woman must have been a first-class beauty when she was young, and even Zheng Guanyin was three points inferior.

Although she is already old, her foundation is too solid. Anyone who takes a look at her will say without hesitation that this woman was definitely a peerless beauty when she was young.

When Li Shentong saw the woman, he was stunned for a moment, then shocked.

Before Li Yuanji could speak, Li Shentong muttered to himself, "This...is really qualified to be greeted by you personally."

Leaving aside the woman's previous status, just her relationship with Li's family is enough for Li Yuanji to welcome her in person.

It's not that their status is still noble, but that their seniority is high.

Hearing Li Shentong's words, Li Yuanji roughly guessed who the woman was.

In the whole world, to have such a strong foundation and need him to welcome him personally, only the former Sui Empress Xiao, that is, the famous six emperors.

Regardless of his identity, in terms of relationship, he has to call someone a cousin.

Although Uncle Biao has been slaughtered by Yu Wenhuaji, Datang was established on the basis of Uncle Biao being slaughtered by Yu Wenhuaji.

Moreover, without an identity, the family's seniority and kinship are particularly prominent.

Therefore, as a junior, it is necessary to greet them in person.

"My concubine is from the Yang Xiao clan, so I wonder if I can be worthy of the personal welcome of His Royal Highness King Qi of the Tang Dynasty?"

Xiao Shi in the carriage spoke at this time, with a sharp edge when he spoke.

Yang Xiaoshi, especially the Yang in front, is very harsh.

Li Yuanji took a step forward slowly, arched his hands slightly and said, "My nephew Li Yuanji, I have seen my aunt."

Mrs. Xiao sighed and said: "Is this world finally yours, Mrs. Li's? I, an elder, come here, but you are still condescending, and you don't want to be inferior to me."

Li Yuanji smiled lightly and said, "My aunt was joking. In private, it would not be too much for my cousin to kneel down to greet her. But officially, Biao is even the Prince Jian of the Tang Dynasty.

I can bow my head or kneel, but Datang cannot bow his head, let alone kneel. "

Xiao nodded her head slowly, and sighed: "Your cousin uncle was also so domineering in the past, and Da Sui was also buried in the dust with his domineering.

I hope you don't follow in the footsteps of your cousin. "

Xiao Shi is not saying good things, but just recalling the past.

With her status, she doesn't need to speak kindly to anyone in Datang, even Li Yuan, who is the Ninth Five Lord, knelt at her knees in the past.

Li Yuanji smiled and continued: "Thank you for the teaching of my aunt and cousin. My cousin and nephew will definitely work hard to make Datang stronger, and will never follow in Master Biao's footsteps."

Xiao seemed to have nothing to talk about, and nodded lazily: "I hope so."

Speaking of this, Xiao said indifferently: "I am already a loner now, I can't do anything, and I can't serve you at the side of your father and son. You father and son snatched me here. I don't know how to arrange me?"

These words were very vicious, as if Li Yuanji brought her here just to serve their father and son.

Li Yuanji smiled helplessly: "My aunt was joking, I will find a secluded house in the city for you to live in. If you have any requirements, just ask, and I will satisfy them all."

Xiao Shi was obviously stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "Aren't you going to take care of me?"

After all, she was also the queen of the previous dynasty, and many civil and military officials in the Tang Dynasty used to be her servants.

She really wanted to know, wasn't Li Yuanji afraid that she would contact the old department, or that the old department took the initiative to come to the door with evil intentions?

Li Yuanji said with a hearty smile: "My Tang Dynasty now dominates the world, and the Turkic people who were defeated have already conquered the hearts of the people. Cousin, you are a girl, what can you do?"

Li Yuanji knew what Xiao Shi was talking about, and he was very confident about it.

The former Sui Dynasty has disappeared into the dust, and restoring the country is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

And now few people want to restore the former dynasty, and few people are willing to sacrifice their lives for the former dynasty.

All ambitious people want to be emperor themselves, so it is impossible to help the Yang family restore the country.

In history, Li Shimin even placed the Xiao family in a secluded courtyard in Chang'an City, and did not see any disturbance from the Xiao family.

Li Yuanji believed that it was the same when he was in power.

Xiao Shi said with surprise on his face: "You are more generous than your cousin uncle, and you will definitely do something in the future."

Li Yuanji said politely: "Thank you for your compliment, auntie."

Xiao Shi nodded, and said with a light smile: "Your cousin is not as easy to deal with as I am, you should make some preparations as soon as possible."

After saying this, without waiting for Li Yuanji to reply, and without waiting for the person in the other carriage to speak, he said with a smile: "Okay, you can send someone to take me down.

I was exhausted all the way, and my bones were about to fall apart, so I should take a rest. "

Li Yuanji savored Xiao Shi's words carefully, and when he was shocked, he ordered Liu Jun: "Take someone to send my cousin and aunt down to rest, and my mother's queen shall prevail."

In short, it is to treat Xiao Shi with the attitude of treating a queen.

Of course, it is limited to food and clothing, not status or authority.

This is done for the sake of the world to see.

Some people who have enmity with Li Shi and are afraid of Li Shi's pull list will let go of their worries and come out to do things for Li Shi when they see Li Shi treating Xiao Shi well.

Some sages who had received favors from the previous court and were unwilling to contribute to the Li family would also look at the face of the former Sui empress, let go of their obsessions, and become officials.

All in all, it is definitely a good deal to give Xiao some generous treatment in exchange for many talents to contribute to Datang.

"Well..."

Liu Jun agreed, and hurriedly led the people to Xiao's carriage.

Xiao Shi ordered the maid to put down the curtain of the carriage, and accompanied by Liu Jun, she left without hesitation.

After Mrs. Xiao left, there was only a carriage and four hundred soldiers left under the stairs.

Li Yuanji waved his hands to the soldiers and said, "You all step back first."

The soldiers gave a 'here' and stepped back to one side.

Li Yuanji took a deep breath, and facing the rest of the carriageway: "Cousin, do you want to stay in the carriage?"

With Xiao's reminder, Li Yuanji knew that the person in the rest of the carriage was the former Sui Yicheng princess who married Turkic.

Princess Yicheng is Yang Jian's daughter and Yang Guang's sister. Although she has no blood relationship with the Li family, she can barely get close to her relatives.

Li Jing, An Xinggui, Ma Sanbao and even Yicheng, the Turkic Kehe Dun, all came here, which really caught him by surprise.

You know, the Turkic Kehe Dun is equivalent to the queen of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, the imprints of the three empresses have been superimposed, and her status in Turkic can be said to be invaluable.

Xieli became noble only after inheriting the Turkic Khan, and when Qimin Khan was in power, he was Kehe Dun, the queen of Turkic.

The political significance represented by Yicheng is extraordinary.

That is to say, Yicheng has nothing to do with him, and he has no blood relationship with Jieli. The Turks suffered heavy losses when they were beaten by Datang again. But He Dun.

However, even so, Yicheng was looted back to the Tang Dynasty, which was enough to embarrass Turkic.

"Li Ni! My father, brother, treated you well, the Li family, why did you want to usurp my Yang family?!"

As soon as Yicheng opened his mouth, he began to question the teacher, his voice was very sharp and full of hatred.

At this time, the maid in the carriage lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing an angry face.

Before Li Yuanji could speak, Li Shentong's face darkened, and he scolded: "Presumptuous! You are the princess of the former Sui Dynasty, not the princess of my Tang Dynasty. How dare you speak nonsense in the palace city of my Tang Dynasty!"

Yicheng stared, gritted his teeth and said, "That's the truth, do you still want to deny it?"

Li Shentong wanted to retort, but was stopped by Li Yuanji raising his hand.

Li Shentong looked at Li Yuanji in confusion, but Li Yuanji stared closely at the box in Yicheng's hand.

Li Shentong followed Li Yuanji's gaze and also saw the box in Yicheng's hand. His whole body trembled, and his pupils dilated a little.

"Li Yicheng should fight!"

Li Shentong gritted his teeth.

Li Yicheng is the second son of Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an County, and the gatekeeper of Tonghua.

Li Shentong understood why Ma Sanbao beat Li Yicheng the first time he saw the box.

Li Yicheng must have relied on his status to see who was sitting in the carriage, so he was beaten by Ma Sanbao.

For such an important thing, Li Yicheng should not peep at it during the escort.

Even his father Li Xiaochang and his uncle are not qualified to peep.

"is that true?"

Li Yuanji stared closely at the box in Yicheng's hand, asked without moving his head, his voice trembling slightly.

An Xinggui and Ma Sanbao nodded heavily, their faces flushed with excitement.

"It's true... I asked her to take it out for inspection, but she didn't want to hand it over, otherwise I would have sent it back long ago."

Li Yuanji asked again, "Jade inlaid with gold?"

An Xinggui and Ma Sanbao nodded again.

"Yes! Gold inlaid with jade!"
