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 Double Dragon Jade Pei will never be left out.

The decorations used by the emperor are 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 beginning to end, there are at least dozens of people involved, and they are all the most in the industry. Top master.

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 the emperor personally gave it, it is impossible for anyone to obtain the double dragon jade pendant.

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

At this moment, Li Tuo took out the double dragon jade pendant, 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 said calmly: "If the general thinks we forged it, he can find a jade craftsman, as long as he has more than five years of experience. Jade craftsman, 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, he will let him Xiling set off a huge wave.

Pei Shiqing'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, of course, is 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 throne from the first emperor to today's saints.

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

An important prerequisite for being able to establish a fascinating martial arts and to leave a wise man in the long river of history is to have a strong physique and the vigorous energy to settle the world inside and out.

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

Although the first emperor gave birth to princes, they all died in their infants. 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 naturally another sage should be selected from the royal family to succeed him. The first emperor had three brothers, and both princes were qualified to inherit the throne, and the Manchu dynasty was also considered the new emperor. Will be selected from the two princes.

It is precisely for this reason that when Emperor Dezong passed the emperor to establish a saint, Xiahou was the crown prince,

Everyone was shocked.

The edict of Emperor Dezong, of course, was shocking. It was beyond everyone's expectations, and it was definitely not in line with the continuation of the Datang Empire. Therefore, Zhao Yankuo and other courtiers immediately sent a letter after the edict was issued, begging Emperor Dezong to take his life back. .

The Tang Empire belongs to the Li family. 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 on his bed in the last few years, courtiers opposed Saint Queen’s administration from the beginning, and finally agreed that the Queen had the power. This intermediate 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 still 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 to a blow. The powerful and domineering barrel firmly holds Kyoto. One thing is to throw into the fire a pen that has been disobedient and replace it with a better one.

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

The ensuing civil turmoil in the empire was due to the strong desires of various places, but the improper position of the Saint Queen was a powerful reason for the cavalry of the various vassals. It was the soldiers from all directions led by Murong in southern Xinjiang. Ma, in the eyes of scholars, is not a rebel, but a loyal minister 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 legally, 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 from the dragon chair and restore Li Tang Jiangshan, that’s what many people think. The things that I thought but didn't dare to say, once the prince Li Tuo appeared, it would surely become the banner of the desire to restore the real Li Tang Jiangshan.

The general is in a difficult situation, but at the moment he doesn't 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 the jade pendant, and said: "I wonder if the general remembered that the first emperor visited Xiling twenty-six years ago."

"There is this." The general hadn't spoken yet, and an old man not far away said loudly: "It was De Zongchang and six years. The first emperor patrolled Xiling. Long En was majestic. There was almost nothing in Xiling who didn't know. That year. Wu Tuo also made friends with us. King Wu Tuo Khan led 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 breathed, 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 also 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 to patrol.

The bitter cold land of Xiling, the road is far away, and the emperor usually only travels to the north when visiting the side.

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

The emperor visits the west, faces the 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 emotional.

De Zong 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 bring his mother back to Beijing, but people from the hometown of his mother were unwilling to stay away from home, and they were even more worried about not understanding after entering Beijing. The rule, so 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 love for his mother and rewarded the double dragon jade pendant. At that time, the mother didn’t know the double dragon jade pendant was precious, but thought it was. The first emperor left the token as a nostalgia, so he took this jade shoelace on his body last time and throughout his life."

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

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

The emperor’s western tour, although there are concubines to follow, there is a dewy marriage in Xiling, which is not surprising.

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

The jade pendant carried by the emperor, apart from the emperor’s reward, of course cannot be owned by anyone, and the double dragon jade pendant is so unusual that the emperor will naturally not give it to others easily, but if he has a dewy marriage with the mother of Li Tuo, he will be loving , The double dragon jade pendant as a token reward, it is also very possible.

Li Tuo has thick beards and looks more than 30 years old. Now it seems that the actual age is only 25 or 6 years old.

"Since Lingtang gave birth to you, why didn't you report it to the court?" Yao Mubai was silent for a moment, and finally asked: "If you really are 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 first emperor will naturally send someone to us. The mother and son returned to the palace. But the mother knew that if we entered the palace, we would be despised by others. The door was as deep as the sea, and the palace’s inner courtyard was even more unfathomable. If the first emperor treated our mother and son kindly, the other concubines in the harem would see it. It will be jealous, and we don’t know how to die when mother and child die." Long sighed: "Compared with the palace, staying in Xiling to live ordinary people, it is safer. My mother considers my safety. Tell outsiders of my identity."

"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 to me After all, she doesn’t want me to even know who my father is. My mother also told me to stay honestly in Xiling even if I know my identity, and don’t give birth to other thoughts. It’s good to live a peaceful life." Having said this, Li Tuo's voice was slightly choked.

The general has not spoken, 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. , Said lightly: "Leave aside, since Lingtang told you not to give birth to other thoughts, why did you have trouble today? Isn't it a violation of mother's instruction?"
