Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 554: The importance of stories

The servants by his side had already knelt on the ground and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Hexi! To get this treasure today, maybe it is a gift from God to celebrate Tang's victory over Turks! It can be seen that God still blessed my Great Tang, Your Majesty. It is even more ordered to the sky, he is the emperor of the true dragon!"

Li Shimin smiled faintly, and said, "Although God has blessed him, the future of Datang still depends on me and the subjects to create it." Then, he put the jade seal back in the box and closed the lid.

A few days later, a strange legend did not know where it came from. It is said that Li Shimin dreamed that a fairy would throw the jade seal into his arms. When he woke up, he saw this jade seal that had been missing for more than ten years in the bed.

All of a sudden, the saying that Li Shimin was ordered to heaven spread throughout Guanzhong.

Although Li Shimin himself does not believe that the jade seal is a symbol of luck, nor does he believe that the jade seal is a virtuous person recognized by the heavens, but after all, the jade seal is such a treasure in the eyes of the people of the world.

Then, there is no reason for Li Shimin not to make good use of this to shape his political image, increase his prestige and influence, thereby enhancing his control over the court and further suppressing the power of the family.

Humans have an instinctive desire for stories. Whether in the feudal era or in later generations, humans tend to believe in specific stories rather than careful logical reasoning. Because of this, we can see that the more chaotic and disorderly environment, the more bizarre stories can be bred, and they are convinced and spread widely.

It is for these reasons that Li Shimin made up such a story.

When Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao left Chang'an in a carriage, they heard the guard escorting them vividly telling the story of Immortal Weng sending the seal, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but curl up. Others don’t know, doesn’t she know yet? The so-called Xianweng is exactly her. However, she certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to expose such tricks.

She just wanted the peaceful future promised by Li Shimin. If possible, it is best to find a good woman for Yang Zhengdao to marry and have a child. That is naturally better.

Finally, there is another figure that needs to be explained, that is, Jie Li, the Turkic Khan, or the former Turkic Khan, Ashina. He was taken back to Chang'an by Li Jing as a prisoner.

Before he was completely defeated, Jie Li had never really thought of such a scene: He knelt in front of Li Shimin and looked up at the tall man in front of him. The other party didn't even stand up, just sat quietly on the jade steps, with his face hidden in the shadows, making people look unreal, silently exuding terrifying power.

Ashina knelt on the ground aggressively, struggling inwardly for a while, and finally accepted his destiny. He smiled from the bottom of his heart, and raised his head to the man in front of him who could dominate his destiny and said: "The Turkic sinner Ashina greedily pays homage to the noble Emperor of Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin had fantasized about this scene a few years ago. After humiliatingly setting the Weishui Alliance, he often imagined this way, imagining Jie Li meeting himself again as a prisoner. He thought that he would angrily count Jie Li's crimes, and then kill Jie Li, to snow the shame of that day.

No one knows what Ashina's mood was when he said these words, but Li Shimin heard a slight tremor from his words.
