Chapter 633: Righteousness
Outside the temple of the Holy Mother of the Jin Temple, tens of thousands of black-clothed troops gathered like this, Li Jing was dressed in a bright yellow robe, solemn and solemn, above the robe, surrounded by nine dragons, just a four-clawed golden dragon, not a five-clawed golden dragon. After Li Jing www.biquge.info there were Li Dingbei, Marquis of Chang'an, Zhao Ding, Wang Pu, Li Fu, Zhang Xiaochun, four scholars of Qilin Pavilion, as well as Sun Sheng, Zhu Wu, Liang Zhong, and other generals such as Wu Song stood behind him, and then behind were the Wenchen generals and Taiyuan gentry under the command of the Tang King of Taiyuan.
"On the fifth day of the first month of the sixth year of Xuanhe of the Wei Song Dynasty, Li Jing, the king of the Tang Dynasty, solemnly presented the sacrifice ceremony and enjoyed the death of the king... Talk about Dancheng and pay tribute to Chen sacrifices. Woohoo, alas! Fu Wei is still feasting! Li Jing's voice is clear, the voice resounded through the Jin Temple, this is the third main sacrifice after Li Jing's opening year, the first sacrifice is the Li royal family, the second main sacrifice is the god of mountains and rivers, the third main sacrifice is the soldiers who died in previous wars, some of these soldiers have names, some people have no names, no matter who they are, they are all sacrificed in the book, in the main hall, countless nameplates are hung in the main hall, these nameplates are not only recorded in the name of the soldiers, their place of origin, but also the merits and so on.
The sacrificial ceremony lasted for two hours, under Wang Pu's arrangement, the ceremony was complex and lengthy, which was not something that ordinary people could experience, and only Li Jing could walk down meticulously, although it was more tiring, but Li Jing felt that his actions were still very cost-effective, which could be felt from the smiles on the faces of the soldiers.
The king's sacrifice itself is a very glorious thing, not to mention that the status of the generals in the Song Dynasty is very underground, and these soldiers are even more so, not to mention the thieves and the army for the time being, the status of those forbidden soldiers is not very good, where can the king be allowed to sacrifice those dead soldiers, this is even more impossible.
After the sacrifice, inside and outside the Jin Ancestral Hall, the sound of ten thousand victories continued, and 100,000 soldiers inside and outside Taiyuan City let out bursts of cheers to express their respect and support for Li Jing.
In Taiyuan City, Li Xiao looked at the Tang King's Guards slowly coming, his face was much gloomy, Wei Liangcai sat opposite, looked at the army under his feet, nodded again and again, and said: "Although I don't know what Emperor Taizong's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry looked like, but I have also seen the armies of other countries, the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia and even the army of the Liao State back then, but the king's guards are extremely good, I heard that the king is preparing to form a Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, I don't know how it compares with Emperor Taizong's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry?" β
"How can little Li Jing be compared to Emperor Taizong back then?" Li Xiao said disdainfully, he drank all the wine in front of him in one go, but unfortunately, such a fine wine did not taste in his mouth.
Wei Liangcai saw it clearly, and laughed secretly in his heart, Li Xiao looked like this, naturally there was a reason for him, Li Jing had not recognized the position of the Li family in Longxi until now, and when he sacrificed to the Li family's temple, he only recognized Li Jing's branch, and he had nothing to do with the ancestral hall left by Li Xiao in Longxi, and he didn't have to think about his position as a sect.
"I heard that King Mu doesn't have any way?" Wei Liangcai heard the depression and resentment in it, and couldn't help but ask. The King Mu in his mouth refers to Li Ying's title, Li Jing is called the king, as Li Jing's father, he naturally wants to be crowned king, and Li Ying is respected by Li Jing as King Mu.
"Li Jing is the king of Tang, although Li Ying is his father, but Li Ying has no say in the affairs of the court, and it is also a sad thing for his father to be like this. Ay! In this world, sons listen to their fathers, and Li Jing, a son of evil, doesn't put his father in his eyes at all, which is really hateful. Li Xiao said with some unwillingness. He found someone to ask Li Ying to speak, but he didn't expect that even Li Ying had no way to face this situation, which made Li Xiao angry and angry.
"Well, that's true." Wei Liangcai secretly disdained in his heart when he heard this, can Li Jing's son be the same as other sons? Li Jing is now the king of Tang, and he will be the son of heaven in the future, how can Li Ying say that Li Jing can move, Li Xiao is really naΓ―ve, but in the end, the two of them are standing on the same front, if Li Xiao becomes Zongzheng, it will have a huge impact on Zhongnanhui, he thought about it and said: "Although Li Jing is very powerful now, I think he still lacks one thing." β
"What's that?" Li Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but say: "He is now strong and strong, and he has captured Chang'an City, what else do you need?" β
"Righteousness." Wei Liangcai said in a low voice: "The reason why the king wants to seize Chang'an, in addition to seizing the depth, is more important to have great righteousness, his Jingzhao Mansion was changed to Chang'an, and his eldest son was canonized as the Marquis of Chang'an, isn't it to show that he is the Li royal family?" But if that's not enough. β
"So what?" Li Xiao closed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and said in a low voice.
"It is rumored that when Emperor Gaozu was in the world, he once wore a sword Longquan by his side, I don't know where this sword is?" Wei Liangcai looked at Li Xiao and said. The Longquan Sword is actually also called the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, which is rumored to be refined by Ou Yezi and is Li Yuan's sword.
"This sword has already been buried in the Offering Mausoleum with Emperor Gaozu, where can I find it?" The corners of Li Xiao's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but retort.
Wei Liangcai was silent when he heard this, this Longquan sword is Li Yuan's sword, and it also has a double identity, that is, the representative of the power of the Li family in Longxi, whoever has this sword, who is the patriarch of the Li family, as for the funeral and the mausoleum, it is a joke, the emperors of the Li family all regarded this sword as a treasure, how could it be used for burial? Li Xiao just didn't want to dedicate this sword to Li Jing.
It's just that where can Li Jing be so good at talking, if he wants the people of the world to recognize Li Jing, in addition to getting rid of the strong soldiers and horses, and destroying the Song family, it is more important to have a legal coat. The strength of the Han and Tang Dynasties is enviable, and now although the Tang Dynasty has been extinct for nearly three hundred years, the Tang Dynasty is still in the bone marrow of the Han people, which is indelible.
If he can become the patriarch of the Li clan in Longxi at this time, it will be even more convincing. Longquan Sword is one of the most important evidence, if Li Xiao can see this thing and dedicate it to Li Jing, Li Jing is the rightful heir of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Xiao also has a credit to the court, even if he is not treated by Li Jing, Li Jing will reward the other party for this, a Zongzheng position is still appropriate, but unfortunately, Li Xiao is reluctant to Longquan Sword. Even Wei Liangcai felt a trace of regret and a trace of contempt.
"This matter is very important, and I will think about it when my brother goes back." Li Xiao thought about it and decided to go back and think about it. Wei Liangcai didn't urge, but just nodded again and again in agreement.
On the carriage, Li Jing looked at Li Fu with a smile and said, "Ninth Uncle, I heard that Emperor Gaozu had a sword called Longquan Sword, I don't know if this can happen?" β
"The king also knows about this sword?" Li Fu looked at Li Jing in surprise.
Li Jing smiled and took out a book from the bookcase on the side, and said in a low voice: "The sword of the Li royal family, the symbol of righteousness, how can you not know?" β
Li Fu was stunned when he heard this, and soon understood the meaning of Li Jing's words, thought about it, and arched his hand and said: "The king's direction, the minister immediately sent someone to fetch it." β
"Forget it, it's good if you can find it, and if you can't find it, forget it, there are rumors outside that Emperor Gaozu's sword may accompany the burial of the tomb, and it may also accompany the burial of the Zhaoling, no one knows!" Li Fu's face was cloudy when he heard this, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Ninth brother, ninth brother, you are also here to get the Longquan sword?" Li Xiao sat in the hall, and when he saw Li Fu coming slowly, the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a hint of sarcasm, and said: "Wei Liangcai is right, Li Jing is ambitious, and after becoming the king, he will seek righteousness and need my Li family's Longquan Sword." β
"This is natural, the king's destiny is returned, and he is a member of my Longxi Li clan, and now it has reached the most critical time, whether my Longxi Li clan will rise because of this, it depends on whether the king can sweep the world. Although you are the patriarch, in the face of the interests of the family, you, the patriarch, still need to give up one or two. Li Fu Zhengrong said.
"Yes, you're right." Li Xiao stood up, laughed, and said, "Since that's the case, let's go!" Li Xiao patted the saber on his waist and said.
"You?" Li Fu looked at Li Xiao with a hint of surprise on his face, obviously shocked by Li Xiao's actions. Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Xiao actually brought the Longquan Sword with himself, and he didn't expect that Li Xiao would actually agree to it just after he proposed it, which was obviously something Li Fu didn't expect.
"Ninth brother, my surname is also Li." Li Xiao's eyes flashed with a strange light, and soon disappeared without a trace, only the positive look on his face, and Li Fu, who was watching, nodded again and again.
"If the king knew that the patriarch had such a heart, he would definitely be very happy in his heart." Li Fu looked at the saber on Li Xiao's waist, and saw that the black scabbard was different from what he had seen.
Li Xiao saw it in his eyes, but there was a sneer in his heart, he smiled: "How sharp the Longquan Sword is, it has been passed down for a long time, if our Li clan still controls the world, it will be forgotten, naturally no one will come to snatch it, but it is just a broken family, and I don't know how many people will rob it, so I will replace the scabbard with black, and even the sword inside has become a little longer." Let's go! Don't make the king wait too long. β
"Big brother, please." Li Fu's face suddenly showed joy, no matter what, he could be regarded as having fulfilled Li Jing's request, as for Li Xiao to present the Longquan Sword, I don't know what kind of reward Li Jing will have, this is already something that Li Fu can consider from time to time, maybe it is really a Zongzheng.
In the main hall, Li Jing and Wang Pu looked at the military map in front of them with Gongsun Sheng, Zhu Wu and others, which described the situation of Hebei, Guanzhong and Hedong Road.
"The three-way army attacked together, except for Cai Jing, no one can come up with this, you see, Youzhou is holding each other, Shexian is attacking, and the forbidden army of the imperial court has set off and headed for Guanzhong, obviously wanting to recapture Guanzhong. It's just that compared to the ruins in Guanzhong, the main purpose of the imperial court is still on Youzhou, and they still want to seize Youzhou. The ring ruler in Li Jing's hand is on Youzhou.
"Even if Youzhou is given to him, I'm afraid the imperial court won't be able to hold it. According to the news from the Huanglong Mansion, the soldiers and horses of the Jin people are being prepared, and they will soon come to Youzhou, and the ministers think that the Jin people are not ready to fight with us, compared to a strong enemy like us, they want to defeat the weak court, seize the Central Plains, and join the decisive battle for world domination. Gongsun Sheng said with confidence.
"Yes, the Jin people are preparing to go south, definitely to see the results of our war with the Song people." Zhu Wu also spoke.
"It's clear that we are here to see our defeat, but it's ridiculous that the imperial court, I really think that the Jin people will fulfill the agreement, a coalition has let the other party see the reality of the imperial court, people will stare at you at any time, the imperial court doesn't know the danger here, and wants to unite with the Jin people. It's stupid. Wang Pu couldn't help but sigh.
"Everyone in the world is like this, especially Cai Jing, they look down on the generals, and they think they can control the life and death of the generals, but they don't know that they are just their own generals, facing a jackal like the Jin people, Cai Jing's old arms and legs, and the Jin people are also what he can master." Zhang Xiaochun had a trace of anger in his heart. If it were a courtier like Cai Jing, where would the world become like this now.
Li Jing nodded with a smile, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Li Fu walk in, his face was still happy, only to see him kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, when Li Xiao, the patriarch of the Li clan in Longxi, went to worship the mausoleum the day before yesterday, he saw the light of the mausoleum flickering, and the sound of the dragon's chant was endless. β
"Longquan Sword?" Wang Pu stood up violently, his eyes were red, and he said loudly: "Lord Li, but when Emperor Gaozu wore the sword Longquan Sword? β
"It's this sword." Li Fu said proudly: "This sword is the sword of the master, the sword of righteousness, and today it is a tribute to Li Xiao, which shows that the king is the destiny of heaven." β
"Hehe, it's just a saber, named after Emperor Gaozu." Li Jing was happy in his heart, but there was still a hint of reserve on his face, and he said: "This king was born in the Li clan in Longxi, and he has heard of this sword for a long time, but he didn't expect that this sword still stays in the Li clan in Longxi. β
"The king inherited the Tang Dynasty, and the blood of Emperor Gaozu flowed in his bones, and now he commanded the Quartet, when the sword of the king was needed, Longquan was born at this time, which shows that the king was born to create the Tang Dynasty." Wang Pu couldn't help but say loudly. Even Zhang Xiaochun's face also showed excitement, he remembered that there were rumors that the Longquan Sword had been buried with the tomb, or with the burial of the Zhaoling, it was impossible to appear in the world, and now at this time, there was actually Longquan in the world, could it be that this son was really the true son of the dragon? Zhang Xiaochun looked at Li Jing, his eyes flashing with a hint of complexity.
"Biography." Li Jing naturally knows the mystery in this, but he won't say it, in this era, sometimes, some miracles are needed to package himself and make him have great righteousness.
