Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

The servants beside him had already knelt on the ground, saying: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Today's treasure may be a congratulatory gift from the heavens to celebrate Tang's victory over the Turks! It can be seen that God still protects me, Your Majesty. He is even more ordered by the sky, he is the real dragon emperor!"

Li Shimin smiled lightly, and said: "Although there is God's blessing, the future of the Tang Dynasty still depends on me and my subjects to create it." Then, he put the jade seal back into the box and closed the lid.

A few days later, a strange legend spread out from nowhere. It is said that Li Shimin dreamed that a fairy threw the jade seal into his arms, and when he woke up, there was indeed the jade seal of the country that had been missing for more than ten years in the bed.

For a time, the saying that Li Shimin was ordered by 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 getting the jade seal proves that he is a virtuous person recognized by heaven, but after all, in the eyes of the world, the jade seal is such a treasure.

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 aristocratic family.

Humans have an instinctive craving for stories. Whether in feudal times or in later generations, human beings tend to believe in specific stories rather than rigorous logical reasoning. Because of this, we can see that the more chaotic and disorderly the environment, the more bizarre stories can be bred, and they are deeply believed and widely circulated.

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, the corners of their mouths could not help but raise an arc when they heard the guards escorting them telling the story of the fairy sending the seal. Others don't know, doesn't she know? The so-called immortal is exactly her. But of course she wouldn't be stupid enough to expose such a trick.

She just wants the peaceful future that Li Shimin promised. If possible, it would be best for Yang Zhengdao to find a woman from a good family to marry and have a child.

Finally, there is another person who needs to be explained, and that is Jieli, the Turkic Khan, or the former Turkic Khan, Ashina Dubi. He was brought back to Chang'an by Li Jing as a prisoner.

Before the complete defeat, Jieli never really thought about such a scene: he knelt in front of Li Shimin, looking up at the tall man in front of him. The other party didn't even stand up, but just sat quietly on the jade steps, his face hidden in the shadow, making it difficult for people to see clearly, silently exuding a terrifying power.

Ashina knelt on the ground aggressively, struggled silently in his heart for a while, and finally accepted his fate. He smiled from the bottom of his heart, raised his head and said to the man in front of him who could control his fate: "The Turkic sinner Ashina pays homage to His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor."

Li Shimin had imagined this scene a few years ago. Right after he made the Weishui alliance in humiliation, he often imagined that Jieli would meet him again as a prisoner. He thought that he would enumerate Xieli's crimes angrily, and then kill Xieli to avenge the shame of that day.

No one knew what mood Ashina was in when he said this aggressively, but Li Shimin heard a slight tremor from his words.
