Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!The double dragon jade pendant is indeed owned by the royal family, and can only be worn by the emperor.

Every treasure in the palace will be registered, and royal ornaments like the Double Dragon Jade Pei will never be left out.

The ornaments used by the emperor were naturally very particular.

From choosing the material of the mountain topaz, to designing the shape of the ornaments, and then carving and making by skilled craftsmen, a small jade pendant, from the beginning to the end, there are at least dozens of people involved, and they are all the top masters in the industry. .

Because of the cumbersome process, other treasures in the palace may be filled with private pockets or even stolen, but no one dared to make any idea about the double dragon jade pendant.

Unless it is given by the emperor himself, it is impossible for anyone to obtain the double dragon jade pendant.

However, the double dragon jade pendant represents the emperor's majesty. In the world, no one except the emperor is qualified to wear such a jade pendant, and the emperor will never easily reward such accessories to others.

At this time Li Tuo took out the double dragon jade pendant, and even the general was shocked.

"The general has a lot of knowledge, so he can naturally recognize that this jade pendant is not a forgery." Li Tuo stared at the general and calmly said: "If the general thinks we forged it, he can find a jadesmith, as long as he has more than five years of experience. It's easy to see that this jade pendant was never made in recent years."

Everyone around was stunned.

The prince of the Datang Empire actually appeared in Xiling, and at this banquet.

This is simply incredible.

Some people even feel that they are in a dream, and everything in front of them is not real, but some people have keenly felt that this Datang prince named Li Tuo suddenly stood up, whether it is true or not, it will make Xiling rise to the sky. Huge waves.

Shiqing Pei's lips moved slightly without making a sound. He looked at the general with an extremely ugly expression.

"Where did your jade pendant come from?" The general finally said.

The fine lines on his forehead appear heavier.

Fan Ziqi and Bai Jingzhai went wild in public today, and then solemnly introduced the prince Li Tuo, and Li Tuo also revealed his identity to everyone in the public, and even produced strong evidence.

All this is of course intentional.

Of course, this group wanted to let the world know that the blood of the first emperor was in Xiling.

The general is naturally quite aware of the passing of the first emperor to today's saints.

For more than two hundred years, Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty has been like a cloud. Compared with his predecessors, Emperor Dezong is not outstanding in terms of literary rule or martial arts. This is not the mediocrity of Emperor Dezong, but the reason is virtue. Emperor Zong was frail and sickly.

An important prerequisite is to be able to establish a fascinating and powerful martial arts and to leave the wise man in the long history of history, that is, to have a strong physique and have the vigorous energy to settle the world and expand the territory.

When Emperor Dezong was young, his body was already sick.

Although the first emperor had given birth to princes, they all died in infancy. Only two princesses were left. Because of this, the prince of the empire was not determined until the death of the first emperor.

According to the inheritance of the empire, the emperor had no heirs, so he naturally had to choose another sage from the royal family to succeed him. The first emperor had three brothers, and both princes were qualified to inherit the throne. Elected from among the princes.

It is precisely for this reason that when Emperor Dezong passed the edict that the Queen Xiahou was the prince,

Everyone was shocked.

The edict of Emperor Dezong, of course, was shocking, beyond everyone's expectations, and absolutely not in line with the continuation of the Datang Empire. Therefore, Zhao Yankuo and other courtiers immediately wrote to the edict, begging Emperor Dezong to take his life back.

The Tang empire belongs to the Li family, and Emperor Dezong has no heirs. Of course, he must choose a successor from the Li family.

The orthodoxy that literati and doctors must adhere to, at least in the eyes of many people, is an act of justice.

But in Kyoto, no one can deny the power of Saint Queen Xiahou in Kyoto. When Emperor Dezong lingered in his sickbed in the last few years, courtiers opposed Saint Queen’s administration from the beginning, and finally agreed that the Saint Queen took over power. Process is a process of embodying the power of the queen.

Using the power in their hands to take the place of the emperor's administration, the courtiers might be able to bear it in their hearts. After the edicts were issued, Zhao Yankuo and other courtiers could no longer remain silent.

The barrel of the pen and the barrel of the gun are the two most powerful weapons of the empire, but when these two weapons are tit-for-tat, the barrel of the pen is vulnerable. The powerful and domineering barrel firmly holds Kyoto. After the Holy Queen ascended the throne, the first thing is Throw the penholder that has been disobedient into the fire, and replace it with a better pen.

Not all literati and doctors have the backbone and courage of those Zhao Yankuo.

The ensuing civil turmoil in the empire was, of course, caused by the arrogant and selfish desires of various places, but the improper position of the Holy Queen was a powerful reason for the cavalry of the princes of all quarters. In the eyes of scholars, it is not the rebels, but the loyal ministers of the Datang Empire.

Now Li Tuo took out the double dragon jade pendant, claiming to be the blood of the first emperor. Once this matter spreads across the world, then the empire will surely usher in new turmoil.

At least in legal terms, if Li Tuo is really the prince born to the first emperor, then he is far more qualified to inherit the throne than today’s saints, and to pull the saints off the dragon chair to restore Li Tang’s mountains and mountains is what many people think. But things that I dare not say, once the prince Li Tuo appears, it will definitely become the banner of the desire to restore the real Li Tang Jiangshan.

The general was in a difficult situation, but at the moment he did not care about his own safety.

At least for the moment, no matter whether Li Tuo's identity is true or false, he can never be admitted as the Prince of Tang Dynasty.

Li Tuo was very calm, put away his jade pendant, and said, "I don't know if the general remembered that the first emperor had visited Xiling twenty-six years ago."

"There is such a thing." The general did not speak, and an old man not far away said loudly: "It was De Zongchang and six years. The first emperor visited Xiling, and Longen was majestic. Few people in Xiling did not know. To make friends with us, King Utu Khan led all the tribe chiefs to come to Xiling to meet the emperor. At that time, I was in the prime of life and saw the emperor’s team with my own eyes. It was really majestic...!" He sighed and said. : "In a blink of an eye, it's almost 30 years."

As soon as the old man's words fell, many people around him sighed.

The general naturally remembered the first emperor's visit to the west.

Twenty-six years ago, Xiling was completely under the control of the empire. At that time, Emperor Dezong was in his prime of life. Although he was weak, he imitated the sages of the empire and left Beijing for inspection.

In the bitter cold place of Xiling, the road is far away, and the emperor usually only travels to the north.

But Emperor Dezong chose Xiling. He was the second emperor among the emperors of the Tang Dynasty to set foot on the land of Xiling. The first was Emperor Wuzong who conquered Xiling.

The emperor patrols west, faces west

For Ling, it is naturally a big deal.

Many people present were still in their prime or even teenagers. Looking back on the grand occasion of Dezong's Western Tour back then, they were all feeling emotional.

When Dezong stayed in Xiling for more than a month, the general was only a low-level general in the Duhu army. When Dezong visited the Duhu army, the general saw Longyan for the first time.

"My mother was favored by the first emperor at that time." Li Tuo said: "After the first emperor was favored, he also wanted to take his mother back to Beijing, but people from the hometown of his mother were unwilling to stay away from home, and they were more worried about not knowing the rules after entering Beijing. I begged the first emperor to stay in Xiling with pity. The first emperor was generous and did not embarrass his mother, who did not follow the present. But the first emperor had a love for his mother and rewarded the double dragon jade pendant. At that time, the mother did not know the value of the double dragon jade pendant, but thought it was the first emperor left As a token of remembrance, he took this jade shoelace on his body last time and throughout his life."

After Li Tuo finished speaking, there was a dead silence.

It’s not a secret that the emperor was born with a romantic nature. Perhaps it is precisely because of the romantic that the body will become weak in the prime of life.

Although the emperor’s tour of the west was accompanied by concubines, there was a dewy marriage in Xiling, which was not surprising.

Moreover, Li Tuo's remarks explained the source of the double dragon jade pendant very well.

Of course, the jade pendant carried by the emperor cannot be owned by anyone except the emperor’s reward. The double dragon jade pendant is extraordinary. The emperor will naturally not give it to others easily. However, if there is a dewy marriage with the mother of Li Tuo, the heart will be tender and loving. As a token reward, it is also possible.

Li Tuoqiu has thick beards and looks more than 30 years old. Now it seems that the actual age is only 25 or 26 years old.

"Since Lingtang gave birth to you, why didn't you report it to the court?" Yao Mubai was silent for a while, and finally asked: "If you are really of the blood of Emperor Xian, you should play it."

Li Tuo smiled faintly, and said: "Although my mother was born in the local area, she is not without knowledge. If I tell the government that I can prove my identity with the double dragon jade pendant, the government will immediately report to the capital, and the Emperor Xian will naturally send someone to take our mother and son back. In the palace. But my mother knows that if we enter the palace, we will be despised by others. The Hou Gate is as deep as the sea, and the palace courtyard is even more unfathomable. If the first emperor treats our mother and son kindly, the other concubines in the harem will be happy if they see it. Jealous, we don’t even know how to die when mother and child die." Long sighed: "Compared with the palace, staying in Xiling to live ordinary people’s life, it’s safer. My mother considers my safety and will naturally not consider my identity. Tell outsiders."

"Where is Lingtang now?" Yao Mubai asked.

"I passed away eleven years ago." Li Tuo said, "Until my mother died, I never knew who my father was, and my mother never mentioned it. Before she left, she finally explained the truth to me. After all, she didn’t want me to even know who my father was. My mother also asked me to stay honestly in Xiling even if I knew my identity, and don’t give birth to any other thoughts, just to live a peaceful life." , Li Tuo's voice was slightly choked.

The general did not speak, and finally he said: "The double dragon jade pendant is indeed a royal thing, but it cannot prove that this must be given to your mother by the first emperor. Whether the jade pendant belongs to you is not yet known." His eyes were cold and he said lightly. "Not to mention other things. Since Lingtang told you not to give birth to other thoughts, why did you have trouble today? Doesn't it violate the mother's instruction?"
