Chapter 1250 Revealing Identity
Chapter 1250 Revealing Identity
Seeing this, Hermu was confused for a moment, but he was cautious by nature and took a conservative attitude. Thinking of his other mission, he quickly said, "Yes, you and I are actually one family."
"To be honest with you all, my true identity as the Right Wise King is the son of Li Jiancheng, the former crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. We are both the blood of the Tang Dynasty's great ancestor, and we are a pure family!"
Well.
As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy hall suddenly became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
This was the first time that someone revealed the identity of the Right Wise King in front of Li Shimin and the Tang Dynasty's emperor and ministers.
This made many people both happy and worried. They were happy because now that the Right Wise King had acknowledged the incident, the crisis of life and death and national destruction between the two tribes had turned into an internal blood dispute.
Don't underestimate this change in nature. The former was destined to trigger ethnic conflict and all-out war. The latter was just a power struggle between Li Yuan's descendants. Although there would be fighting, the scale would be infinitely reduced, at least preventing the Turks from killing people in the Central Plains.
As long as the Right Wise King acknowledges the Li bloodline and wants to take over the Tang Dynasty, there will not be widespread repercussions.
This was equivalent to turning a war to destroy a country into a continuation of the Xuanwu Gate dispute. All the ministers in the palace kept their mouths shut. What happened next had nothing to do with them and became a fight between the first and second branches of the Li family.
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, felt extremely complicated at this moment.
He never expected that things would turn out like this. Faced with the revelation of the other party's life experience, he didn't want to admit it, but he didn't dare to deny it either. He was caught in a dilemma.
The ministers below also knew the difficulties involved.
If we reject it outright, it will be like cutting off the retreat of the Right Wise King. Since there is no blood relationship, then there is no need to talk about sympathy, let's just go to war. Just treat it as outsiders fighting for the world, to see who has the stronger force.
And this favor is extremely important to the current Tang Dynasty, as it concerns the lives and property of countless people.
Even if he admitted it, it would not work. Li Jiancheng was the crown prince back then, and Li Shimin came to power by physically destroying the first legitimate heir to the Tang Dynasty through a mutiny. Once he admitted it, the Right Wise King would have the title to inherit the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, a name alone is not important.
Li Jiancheng also had a status back then, but he was replaced by Li Shimin who had no status. The key is that this person with a status had absolute military force to realize this status, which was extremely scary.
Once this identity is confirmed, the 800,000 Turkic troops outside the city can easily break into Chang'an and replace it.
Because of this status, the civil officials and military officers in the court were willing to accept the Right Wise King's entry into the Central Plains. As the son of Li Jiancheng, the Right Wise King sat on the throne, which would not change the orthodoxy and structure of the Tang Dynasty.
These people can transform themselves and continue to be subjects of the Tang Dynasty, just like they accepted Li Shimin in the beginning.
This was clear from the moment these people heard Hermu announce the true identity of the Right Wise King and they tacitly remained silent.
As long as there is a way out, they will not fight to the death.
"Big Danghu, you can't say such things carelessly."
Finally, Fang Xuanling stepped forward and questioned: "Everyone in the world knows that the lineage of Prince Yin has long been extinct, and it is impossible for the bloodline to be passed down outside. If the Right Wise King wants to use this identity to deceive the world and then plot against our Central Plains, it is absolutely impossible."
"Tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty would rather perish with the country than allow others to spread rumors and confuse the people and destroy the royal bloodline."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dou Dan, the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, and Li Daozong, the King of Jiangxia, stepped forward and asked, "Do you have any evidence? This is just empty talk, can't it count?"
Dou Dan is the son of Dou Kang, the cousin of Li Yuan's queen Dou, and Li Daozon is Li Yuan's nephew. Both of them are people with great influence in the royal family.
The two were in a very conflicted mood. On the one hand, they hoped that the Right Wise King was of Li's bloodline. This would not only resolve the war, but also mean that the influence of the Li family would not only cover the Central Plains, but also the grasslands.
On the other hand, this also means that the dispute over orthodoxy that ended after the Xuanwu Gate Incident will be stirred up again, and the struggle between the eldest and second houses will continue.
But generally speaking, it is a good thing for these royal families. The power of the Li family will expand to the grasslands, and their interests will no longer be shaken. In the future, whether in the north or in the Central Plains, they will be able to make a living.
Heermu immediately pulled out a jade pendant from his bosom, held it in his hand and said to everyone: "This is the token of love that Li Jiancheng gave to the Right Xian Prince's mother. The Right Xian Prince also has a longevity golden lock made by Li Jiancheng when he was born."
"It not only records the birth date of the Right Wise King, but also contains the mark left by Li Jiancheng."
"But the golden lock is too precious. It is in the hands of the Right Wise King. If you want to see it, you may have to go see the Right Wise King in person."
Li Dao Zong hurried forward and asked, "Can you let me take a look at the jade pendant?"
"Of course." Heermu handed it over. Li Daozong took it carefully and looked at it carefully. The jade pendant was crystal clear and white. It was obviously a top-grade jadeite, which could only be owned by a very wealthy family. The carving was also very exquisite, and it was obvious that it was made by a famous artist.
But he could tell that the quality was extraordinary, and he couldn't tell even the smallest details.
But it doesn’t matter. The aristocratic families of this era all have strict rules and regulations, and the items they use all have set rules to follow.
He quickly handed the jade pendant to Dou Dan for him to take a look.
Old Master Dou did not dare to be careless. He carefully rubbed his hands on the clothes, took it respectfully, and looked at it carefully. As the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, he knew everything about the royal family's food, clothing, housing, transportation, and various accessories.
When I saw the mountain and river pattern on the back of the jade pendant, which looked like the three characters "Bishamon", my heart skipped a beat. Everyone in the world knew that Li Jiancheng's nickname was "Bishamon", and the sons of noble families were used to carving their names into patterns, hiding them in mountains and rivers, and wearing them on their bodies.
For example, Li Chengqian had many jade pendants with patterns similar to the small word "Gaoming".
However, Dou Dan was not sure about such a big matter, so he had to hand the jade pendant to Li Shimin for review. When Li Shimin took it in his hand, his heart sank.
Before the uprising in Taiyuan, he had a very good relationship with the Li Jiancheng brothers. He was also very familiar with the things around Li Jiancheng and vaguely remembered seeing a similar jade pendant hanging around Li Jiancheng's waist.
However, these sons of noble families have a lot of this kind of thing, and it is impossible for him to understand it in detail.
Seeing Li Shimin identifying the person with a serious expression, Li Chengqian next to him smiled slightly.
This jade pendant was certainly not left by Li Jiancheng, but was produced later. As an emperor, he had immeasurable resources at his disposal, and it was easy for him to learn about the royal secrets. He could even order craftsmen to make it according to regulations and techniques.
Those so-called family emblems, secret marks, and the like can also be directly asked. Such things are naturally extremely difficult for outsiders who are not aware of them, but for him, he can make as many as he wants.
Now in the warehouse of the royal palace, there are still a lot of relics of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng or Li Yuanji, including handkerchiefs, headdresses, belts, jade pendants, folding fans, letters and the like. If you need anything, you can even go and get it directly.
The reason why Li Shimin did not doubt it was because he could not imagine that it was his own son who fabricated these things. He thought that the Right Wise King was just an ordinary person when he was young, and later he became rich and was far away in the Turkic region, so he wanted to forge these things.
It is of course extremely difficult, and some unique signs may not even be clear.
Unless there is someone with great power behind the scenes, but after thinking about it, Li Shimin gave up the idea. The status of the Right Wise King is not inferior to his own. Who has such great ability to create such a big Buddha? It is basically impossible.
Even the Heavenly Khan himself could not take over the entire grassland and subdue the countless nomadic tribes.
After a long time, Li Shimin raised his head solemnly and looked at the man in the hall. If this man was just an ordinary person, if there was no Right Wise King behind him. Even if it was the Right Wise King, the other party did not place 800,000 cavalrymen under the city of Chang'an.
He can also flatly deny it and refuse to acknowledge it.
But the 800,000 soldiers outside the city made him dare not to confront them. After thinking for a while, he could only say ambiguously: "This jade pendant does look like it belongs to my Li family. However, it is so old that I cannot be sure."
"We need to send someone to personally test the longevity lock you mentioned before we can make a further confirmation."
After that, Li Shimin ordered: "Fang Xuanling, Dou Dan, Hou Junji, I order the three of you to follow the envoy to the Turkic camp to meet the Right Wise King and make a personal assessment. This matter is of great importance, and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The three bowed and were about to receive the order when Li Chengqian suddenly interrupted, "Father, Jun Ji's identity is too sensitive. In addition, he is the commander-in-chief at the front, so it is not appropriate for him to leave. Among these three people, I think there should be someone from the royal family."
"Why not send King Jiangxia to take the trouble to do so? This would be more appropriate and would also reflect the importance our Li family attaches to us."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was still thinking, and Hou Junji quickly agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, I have dealt with this Right Wise King many times before, and he never revealed this. This time, it is awkward to meet him."
"Plus, I have to arrange defenses and reinforce the city, so I can't leave for a moment!"
Hou Junji's heart trembled. His respect for the emperor was even greater than that for Li Shimin. He would not do anything that the emperor did not want him to do, even if he was beaten to death.
Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded silently.
In fact, it was not that he could not think of it, but if the other party was really the son of Li Jiancheng, then the royal family would most likely stand on the "fair" position and be unfavorable to him.
