Chapter 104 The familiar eagle jade pendant

Here.

Li Zheng had just walked out of Tai Chi Hall.

He was just about to leave the palace and go to Chang'an City for a stroll. By the way, he was also looking for a place to open Lin's Aged Vinegar Shop in Chang'an.

In Shanxi, relying on its unique taste, Lin's Vinegar Shop has opened in every prefecture and county in Shanxi, making a fortune every day. If it goes to Chang'an City, the most prosperous capital of the Tang Dynasty, the profit will only be even greater.

With more money, Li Zheng can secretly cultivate more dead soldiers and have his own power.

Only what truly belongs to you is yours. What is given by the imperial power can be taken away in an instant.

In Li Zheng's heart, just as he said to his three confidants, dead soldiers are the ones who truly protect themselves.

"Chang'an City."

"The capital of the Tang Dynasty."

"In a few decades, earth-shaking changes will take place, and Li Tang will also have the surname Zhou in the world."

Standing on the steps in front of the palace, Li Zheng thought to himself.

Knowing history and integrating into history, Li Zheng also stepped into it invisibly.

Just when Li Zheng was about to walk down the stairs and leave.

"General Lee."

"The Emperor summons."

A high-pitched voice sounded in Li Zheng's ears.

It was the chief eunuch who served Li Shimin in that court.

"The minister leads the order."

Prince Li Chengqian had reminded him before, so Li Zheng was not surprised and nodded immediately.

Although he didn't know what Li Shimin was going to do when he summoned him again.

"General, please come with me."

The eunuch in charge respectfully led the way.

"Dare to ask your father-in-law's name?"

Looking at the eunuch who was in his fifties, Li Zheng didn't feel anything strange, but asked in a gentle manner.

Hear this.

The eunuch was also stunned, as if he didn't expect Li Zheng to ask.

Serving beside the emperor Li Shimin, the eunuchs would not be as powerful as Yu Chaoen in the late Tang Dynasty. Not only did they not have much chance of power beside the shrewd Emperor Zhenguan, but they were on pins and needles every day. This was the characteristic of serving a powerful emperor.

A eunuch is really just a eunuch, and cannot use this to gain power.

Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, no one would take eunuchs seriously, and most of them looked down upon them.

And today.

Li Zheng actually asked his name, which had never happened before, and he was still a popular general.

"Old slave is free of charge, Wang De."

The eunuch replied with great respect.

Upon hearing this name, Li Zheng immediately knew who he was.

The chief eunuch served two emperors, Li Shimin and Li Zhi. He was not famous in history, but he never did anything extraordinary.

It can be said that he is a good minion.

"Wang De, what a good name, I remember it."

"Speaking of which, you are about the same age as my old boss."

Li Zheng said as he walked.

"Haha, that's still a kind of fate."

Wang De said with a smile.

"It is indeed fate. You can meet me when there is a chance in the future."

Li Zheng followed the words.

The two of them were walking and talking like this. Tai Chi Hall was some distance away from the Imperial Study Room. Along the way, the two of them chatted, and there was an invisible feeling of getting closer.

We are almost at the imperial study room.

"By the way, Your Majesty, has your Majesty summoned me for something?"

Li Zheng asked curiously.

"This old slave doesn't know either, but it must be a good thing."

"Of course, after you enter the imperial study, you must pay attention to what you can and cannot say."

"After all, the power of God is unpredictable, and the emperor's personality is also different from ordinary people."

Wang De said with some hints.

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang, for your advice."

Li Zheng thanked him directly and looked at him gratefully.

Being able to serve Li Shimin for so many years shows Wang De's meticulousness.

Arrive at the door of the royal study room.

"You wait at the door, I will go in and pass the message."

Wang De said.

"Ok!"

Li Zheng nodded. Wang De then entered the royal study, knelt down and began to read:
  "Your Majesty, General Li Zheng is already waiting outside the imperial study."

"It's coming!"

"Okay, Xuan."

Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand and said immediately.

"The emperor has a purpose."

"Xuan Li Zheng comes to see you."

Wang De walked to the door and preached loudly.

Respond.

Li Zheng straightened his clothes and quickly walked into the imperial study room.

"Your Majesty, Li Zheng, please see me."

After entering the Imperial Study Room, Li Zheng knelt down and bowed directly.

"This is not the Tai Chi Palace. There are no court discussions. There is no need to be so polite. Just speak on your own."

Li Shimin smiled slightly and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Zheng immediately knelt down to thank him and then stood up.

"There's no need to be so formal here. Wearing such heavy armor, there's no need for that."

"Come here, help Li Qing take off his armor."

Looking at Li Zheng's unicorn armor, which looked like an iron man standing in front of him, Li Shimin immediately issued an order.

immediately.

Several eunuchs serving in the imperial study came to Li Zheng.

"no need."

"I will do it myself."

Li Zheng couldn't stand having several eunuchs touch him.

talking.

Li Zheng immediately unbuttoned the Qilin armor and took it off with a crackle.

And when the armor was taken off and Li Zheng took it off his neck with both hands, Li Shimin saw all the stab wounds and arrow wounds on his back, and his heart couldn't help but surge.

On the battlefield, although Li Zheng was brave, he could not avoid being injured, and this was because of his accumulated military exploits.

"Li Zheng truly deserves his title!"

"All of this was done with his life."

Li Shimin sighed secretly in his heart.

But right now.

Li Zheng turned around, and Li Shimin glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a jade pendant hanging around Li Zheng's neck.

For a moment, I was shocked.

The jade pendant was pure white, with a lifelike eagle on the front, which caught Li Shimin's eyes.

See this.

Li Shimin's heart surged and he stood up suddenly.

"emperor."

Wang De, who was waiting on the side, saw Li Shimin standing up suddenly and said in confusion.

Li Zheng also took off his unicorn armor and rearranged his clothes. He raised his chin and saw Li Shimin looking at him with wide eyes.

The look in his eyes was so deep that Li Zheng felt a little bit hairy.

"His Majesty."

"What’s wrong with you?"

Li Zheng said bravely.

"No...nothing."

After hearing Li Zheng's words, Li Shimin came back to his senses and forced a smile:
  "Why are there so many injuries all over your body!"

"On the battlefield, the enemy's swords are hard to guard against, so this injury is inevitable."

Li Zheng didn't care and laughed.

"By the way, the jade pendant hanging around your neck looks very good to me. Can you let me have a look?"

"There's nothing wrong with this. Your Majesty wants to see it. It's my honor."

Without thinking, Li Zheng took off the jade pendant from his neck, held it in both hands and handed it to him.

Before Wang De could step forward, Li Shimin took the lead, came to Li Zheng, reached out and grabbed the jade pendant.

Li Shimin turned the jade pendant over and faced a city wall.

The white jade pendant, with an eagle on the front and a city wall on the back, is the same jade pendant that I gave to Cuiping in Jinyang.

That's right, it can't be such a coincidence.

This jade pendant was owned by the former Sui royal family and is the only one in the world.

He is indeed...
