Man Tanghong

Chapter 720 Who is Threatening Who?

Hearing the affirmative answer, Li Shentong asked a little bit angrily, "Why don't you just take 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. Whenever I get close, she will immediately take out the hammer."

Li Shentong gritted his teeth, and said with a certain atmosphere: "It is because you are sure that you dare not let the gold inlaid jade be damaged in any way, so you are threatening you like this."

Ma Sanbao said with a bitter face: "Who says it's not..."

Li Yuanji sighed quietly at this time: "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 moment, then sighed: "Let's take a step and see what she wants first, and then make a decision."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji looked at Li Shentong, and said without doubt: "Anyway, gold inlaid with jade, I, I, the Tang Dynasty, am determined to win it!"

Li Shentong nodded heavily.

Li Yuanji calmed down and walked down the stairs slowly.

A princess from the previous dynasty is not worthy of him rushing to greet her in person, but with the addition of a gold inlaid jade, it will be different.

As long as the gold inlaid jade can be guaranteed not to be damaged, let alone a personal welcome, even if Yicheng asks Datang for 10 taels or a million taels of gold, he will give it to her without hesitation.

The political significance represented by gold inlaid jade is so important that it can almost be said to represent the orthodoxy of the Central Plains dynasty.

In history, in order to compete for gold inlaid with jade, I don't know how many outstanding people died.

If Li Congke and Empress Cao of the later Tang Dynasty hadn't set themselves on fire in the Xuanwu Tower, causing the gold inlaid jade to disappear, more heroes would have died.

That is to say, since the Later Tang Dynasty, gold inlaid jade has been completely lost. Although people found traces of gold inlaid jade in 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 don't know how Cousin is willing to hand over the gold inlaid jade to me?"

Yicheng sat firmly in the carriage, and said with a sarcasm: "Jade inlaid with gold? Isn't it the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom?"

Li Yuanji smiled indifferently: "My Tang Dynasty recognizes it, so it is the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, my Tang Dynasty does not recognize it, it is just a piece of jade inlaid with gold."

When Yicheng heard this, the sarcasm on his face became stronger, "So, Li Ni, you don't want it? How about I destroy it now?"

As he said that, Yicheng pulled out a golden hammer from his sleeve, and was about to smash it at the box.

"No!"

"Absolutely not!"

Li Shentong and Ma Sanbao, who were following Li Yuanji, spoke together.

Li Yuanji acted as if he hadn't seen Yicheng's actions, and still smiled calmly: "Cousin can smash it if she wants to. It's just that this gold inlaid jade is not unique to your Yang family.

If Biao Gu smashed it, Yang's family would be infamous through the ages. "

Gold inlaid jade was originally something that belonged to the State of Zhao in the pre-Qin period. Later, when the State of Qin destroyed Zhao, it was obtained and engraved as the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo.

Then it was passed down from generation to generation.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, it is not something unique to the Yang family, but something shared by all Han people in the world.

Yicheng destroying it is tantamount to destroying the orthodox inheritance of all Han people in the world.

It would be strange not to be scolded.

Yicheng sneered and said, "You think I care?"

However, although Yicheng's words were very tough, the hammer in his hand did not drop for a long time.

Li Yuanji continued to laugh and said, "Of course I know that Cousin doesn't care, but other members of the Yang family do. Cousin doesn't want to see other members of the Yang family being criticized, right?"

The smile on Yicheng's face became colder, "As the clan of my Great Sui Dynasty, they didn't protect our Great Sui Dynasty, but instead helped the emperor 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 what exactly will Cousin want 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 country!"

Li Yuanji laughed uncontrollably, and said, "My cousin is also a Kehe Dun person for more than 20 years, how could she be so childish?"

Let Li Shi hand over Li Shi's country for a piece of gold inlaid with jade?

This is thinking about ass.

Li would rather not have gold inlaid with jade, and it is impossible to hand over the country.

Without the gold inlaid jade, the Li family can still rule the world and is still the royal family.

The Shouming Treasure engraved by Li Yuan, Li Shi is using it quite well now.

After the gold-encrusted jade was lost, the seals engraved by the emperors of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties were also quite good.

I haven't seen anyone saying that the rule will be affected without gold inlaid with jade.

Therefore, gold inlaid with jade is just an inheritance of great political significance, not a necessity for establishing a country.

For any dynasty, having it is the icing on the cake, and without it, it will not affect the rule.

Yicheng is also a person who has been a queen in Turkic for more than 20 years. It is really naive to make people laugh that he would say such a thing.

"You just say yes or no?"

Yicheng became a little annoyed.

She also knew that her request was excessive and childish.

But she didn't know what she could want, what she could exchange gold inlaid jade with Mrs. Li, so she could only open her mouth.

Now that Li Yuanji hit her against the wall, it made her a little bit hard to get off, so she had the idea of ​​burning everything together.

Li Yuanji shook his head without the slightest hesitation and said, "You should know that this is impossible!"

A cruel look flashed across Yicheng's face, "Then I'll chop it up and hang myself here!"

As he spoke, he raised the golden hammer in his hand high.

Li Yuanji said indifferently: "It's up to you, but after you die, I will issue a decree in the name of your intention to murder my father, let the local yamen hunt down your Yang family members, and kill them all.

When I break the Turkic court again in the future, I will also kill Yang Zhengdao and others. "

Yicheng's eyes widened in disbelief, and he angrily said, "You are shameless!"

Li Yuanji sneered and said, "You were the one who was rude first and wanted to blackmail me with gold inlaid jade, so don't blame me for being cruel."

Yicheng was in a hurry, and he slapped the box in his hand hard.

Li Yuanji's heart twitched, and Li Shentong and the others stared in horror, their hearts almost popping out of their throats.

However, Li Yuanji still had a sneer on his face, and calmly ordered: "Liu Jun, go to Chengqing Palace and invite my cousin's niece and send her on the road."

Yicheng stood up abruptly, and Li Shentong and the others looked at Li Yuanji in disbelief.

The niece of Yicheng that Li Yuanji spoke of was Li Shimin's Mrs. Yang, the concubine Yang in history.

"you dare!"

Yicheng shouted angrily.

Li Yuanji sneered and said, "What dare I not?"

Yicheng roared angrily: "That's your brother's concubine, your sister-in-law!"

Li Yuanji said disdainfully: "My elder brother has been imprisoned by me, life and death are unpredictable, let alone my sister-in-law."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji stared at Liu Jun and angrily said: "Why don't you go if I tell you to go? Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Liu Jun hurriedly bowed and said: "I obey the order..."

After saying that, he led the people to run in the direction of Chengqing Hall.

Hearing this, Yi Cheng said with a face full of surprise: "You have already usurped your father's throne?"

Li Yuanji hehe said, "So what?"

Yicheng pointed at Li Yuanji and said tremblingly, "You! You and Yang Guang are the same kind!"

Li Yuanji said indifferently: "Whatever you say, I will ask you one last question, will the gold inlaid jade be handed over? If I do, I can meet your two conditions. If you don't, I will immediately order someone to mess you up." Divide the corpse 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 I didn't smash it, I fell it instead.

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 steps in front of the Tai Chi Hall, he said unwillingly, "Wait!"

Li Yuanji paused, but didn't look back.

Yicheng seemed to have had his spine ripped off, with a ferocious face, but he said with a lack of confidence: "You... what you said just now counts?"

Li Yuanji knew what Yicheng was referring to, turned around, and nodded indifferently.

Yicheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I want you to return my Yang family's old Suiguo mansion, and don't allow anyone to disturb me anymore."

The mansion of the Duke of Sui that Yicheng talked about was the mansion where Yicheng's grandfather and father lived when they were still the Duke of Sui.

The house is now owned by Li Daoli, the king of Gaoping County.

It's not difficult for Li Daoli to vacate the house and move to another place.

So Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay!"

Yicheng continued: "I want you to keep Yang Zhengdao alive after you defeat the Turks."

Li Yuanji did not hesitate, nodded and said, "Okay!"

Historically, after Yang Zhengdao and the Xiao family returned to the Tang Dynasty with gold inlaid jade, Li Shimin not only spared the lives of all of them, but also treated them favorably.

I haven't seen them making any troubles, so I can agree to this.

"Pfft..."

After Yicheng finished raising the two conditions, he immediately fell into the carriage, his face pale, as if he had lost his soul.

The maid serving her hesitated for a moment, then knelt and sat beside her.

Li Yuanji winked at Li Shentong, Li Shentong quickly stepped forward, and carefully took the box from Yicheng's hand.

Afraid that Yicheng would go back on his word and rob him in turn.

After Li Shentong got the box, he rushed out more than a foot away with a whoosh.

After confirming that Yicheng did not move and would not snatch the box, he felt relieved and brought the box to Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji did not take the box in a hurry, but ordered to the soldiers: "Escort my cousin to rest in my other courtyard, and return to the camp when the place my cousin wants is vacated."

A group of soldiers agreed in unison, got up and escorted Yicheng away from the front of the Tai Chi Hall.

After Yicheng put forward the conditions, Yicheng never said a word, nor did he respond in any way, like a walking dead.
