Chapter 1252 The True Face of the Right Wise King

"This one needs no introduction."

Before Heermu could continue, Li Yan, who was sitting at the head, said, "Fang Xuanling, the left servant of the Tang Dynasty and a famous prime minister, was outside Fengzhou City in the 10th year of Zhenguan. I have seen the charm of Prime Minister Fang before."

Among these three people, only Fang Xuanling had dealt with the other party.

Fang Xuanling naturally remembered the brief encounter in Fengzhou, but at that time the Right Wise King was wearing a mask, so he did not see his face clearly. Today, the Right Wise King revealed his true face, and strictly speaking, he saw his true face for the first time.

"hehe."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the Right Xian King still remembered me. After ten years of separation, the Right Xian King is still as charming as ever."

Well.
After such a delay, Fang Xuanling adjusted to the environment in the tent and regained his sight, then he slowly raised his head to look. But when his eyes fell on the face of the person at the top, he was stunned, with an expression of surprise that he could not hide.

When Dou Dan and Li Daozon saw Fang Xuanling was stuck, they looked up and exclaimed twice.

The three of them forgot about socializing and stared at Li Yan's appearance, their hearts were filled with shock. Because the person in front of them was a man who looked very much like Li Chengqian, with 70% of the five crowns and 80% of the eyebrows and eyes being similar.

But compared with Li Chengqian, the Right Wise King in front of him was more burly, with a more prominent beard and a more ferocious temperament. The arrogance in his eyes and the fierceness emanating from his body were breathtaking, and he sat there like a tiger coming down the mountain.

One can tell at first sight that he is a person who has held great power for a long time and has stirred up the world.

Li Yan certainly knew why these three people had such expressions. Apart from his temperament being completely different from Li Chengqian, he was almost a second Li Chengqian.

Seeing this, Hermu frowned and said, "In front of the king, the Tang Dynasty envoys should not be so rude."

"Oh, don't blame me, Your Majesty."

Fang Xuanling quickly explained: "I am old and my eyesight is dim. I was intimidated by your aura for a moment and my reaction was a little slow. Please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Yan waved his hand and said, "The conditions are simple. Lord Fang, Lord Dou, Lord Li, you are guests from afar, please take a seat!"

Then Hermu arranged for the servants to serve tea.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The three of them sat down one after another. While waiting for tea, their eyes met and they all nodded in tacit understanding.

Li Daozon and Dou Dan looked at Fang Xuanling with complicated expressions, and Fang Xuanling also had a bitter smile on his face.

The moment the three of them saw the true appearance of the Right Wise King, they were almost certain that this man must be the son of Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were brothers from the same mother. Li Yan was Li Jiancheng's eldest son, and Li Chengqian was Li Shimin's eldest son. They were both descendants of Li Yuan and were the closest cousins. It was not surprising that they looked somewhat similar.

What's more, they look like they were carved from the same mold.

Unless Empress Dowager Changsun gave birth to twins and lost one, who would dare to say that they were not blood relatives after seeing the Right Wise King's face? After all, they had never seen such a bizarre existence as a clone, and they dared not even think about it.

If they had not seen Li Chengqian attending court before, and they had not rushed out of the city without stopping after leaving the palace, the three of them would have thought that Li Chengqian had gotten ahead of them and ran to the Turkic camp, disguised as the Right Wise King to receive them.

But they also know that this is impossible.

Fang Xuanling secretly blamed Hou Junji in his heart. As Hou Junji had met the Right Wise King many times, he should be able to find the difference between the two.

But then he suddenly realized that if Li Chengqian had disappeared before, many people would probably misunderstand that the Right Wise King was Li Chengqian, so he deliberately did not mention it.

When Li Chengqian left the Central Plains, he was just a half-grown child and his appearance had not yet fully developed.

After returning to Chang'an City to take over the throne last year, he lived in the palace for a long time. The people who came and went in the court were all ministers of prominent status. Naturally, they had never visited the grassland in person to pay a visit to the Right Wise King. Even if there were some interactions, it was managed by the servants.

Therefore, those who have met the Right Wise King cannot see the Emperor; and those who can see the Emperor cannot meet the Right Wise King.

It is estimated that apart from Hou Junji, no one in the court noticed that the Right Wise King and Li Chengqian looked so similar.

The only flaw was the negotiation in Fengzhou ten years ago. Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling looked at the other party deeply. It is estimated that the other party did not want to reveal his identity at that time, otherwise he would have discovered the other party's identity when they met.

"I already know the purpose of the three adults' visit."

Seeing the three people lost in thought, Li Yan smiled slightly, then took out a small silk package from his arms: "This is a personal ornament given to me by my father on my birthday. It is engraved with my birth date and my father's signature."

"Please have a look, my three lords."

Heermu hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully bent over to take it, carefully unfolded it in his hands, and placed it on the table in front of the three people. Dou Dan quickly stood up and gestured, then carefully picked it up and examined it.

This gold lock, a common style among aristocratic families, is made of fine purple gold. It is well-made, with beautiful patterns and textures. It is engraved with a Qilin pattern with beautiful meanings, and there is also the sea and auspicious clouds below. Behind it is a eight-character horoscope representing the time of day thirty-three years ago.

Dou Dan calculated the time silently in his mind. Li Jiancheng was exactly ten years older than Li Shimin. At that time, Li Jiancheng was 24 years old, which was the age when he was a playboy. It was reasonable for Li Jiancheng to be a playboy since he was young and rich.

After reading it, Dou Dan carefully handed it to Li Daozon and Fang Xuanling and nodded silently.

After everyone had looked at it, Li Yan asked, "My three lords, maybe you can use this to determine my true identity."

Without waiting for the three to answer, Li Yan said frankly: "With my current status, I am the master of the Turkic Khanate, I own the entire desert, I have millions of soldiers under my command, and the area I rule is not inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty. I am the most noble in the world."

"It can be said that in the whole world, except for Li Shimin and his son in Chang'an City, who dares to be compared with me."

"Why would this king need to assume someone else's identity and tarnish his own ancestors?"

"Even if your Li family is a royal family in the Central Plains, it is not worthy for me to follow you. You should all be thankful that I am a Han Chinese. Over the years, many people in the northern border have been spared from being slaughtered because of my existence. Otherwise, in the tenth year of Zhenguan, a million troops would have marched south."

Fang Xuanling immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty is right. On behalf of countless people in the Han Dynasty, I thank Your Majesty for your protection."

"Master Fang, have you confirmed my identity?"

Fang Xuanling was stunned and looked at the other two people hesitantly. Li Daozon was also hesitant and looked at Dou Dan for advice.

This recognition of relatives is not that simple, as it may be related to the dispute over the royal family's legitimacy. One of them is an outsider and the other is a side branch, so neither of them dares to express their views casually.

Only Dou Dan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Right Wise King, as the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, I can confirm that you are Dalang's lost flesh and blood."

In fact, there is no need to look at the golden lock. Judging from the fact that the Right Wise King looks very similar to Li Chengqian, he would not be able to deny it even if Li Shimin was in person.

After all, everyone in the world has eyes, who can lie with their eyes open?

Instead of quibbling and angering Youxian, it would be better to admit it frankly. With such solid evidence, even if Li Shimin knew about it, he would be helpless.
"Hahaha"

Li Yan smiled cheerfully: "If that's the case, then we are not outsiders. According to seniority, I should call you my cousin and King Jiangxia my cousin. Hermu, tell the servants to prepare a banquet. I am reunited with my family and it is time to celebrate."

"Yes, your majesty." Upon seeing this, Hermu responded and asked his servants to make arrangements.

"Uh"

Li Daozong's old face flushed, and he immediately looked embarrassed, but Dou Dan stroked his beard and smiled: "What the Right Wise King said is true."

"Ugh?"

Seeing this, Li Yan waved his hand and said, "You are the elders, so don't be so polite. Just call me by my name, Li Yan."

"Haha, according to your generation's seniority, your name should be Li Chengyan."

Dou Dan acted very familiar and said kindly, "Then I'll be so kind as to call you Li Yan. Seeing you reminds me of my deceased aunt. If she were still alive, she would be so happy to see that Dalang's son is so successful."

"Yes, the Li family has produced many talented people, and all of their descendants are outstanding. If the ancestors of the Li family are still alive in heaven, they would feel gratified." Fang Xuanling also followed suit to congratulate. For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent became very harmonious, not as depressing as before.

Before long, a sumptuous meal was served, and everyone started to toast each other, chatting and getting to know each other. Seeing that Li Yan was sincere, Dou Dan and Li Dao Zong gradually let down their guard and were no longer so vigilant about being in the enemy camp.

After thirty dishes and five flavors of wine, Li Yan waved his hand, and Hermu, Gu Rentu, and the servants and maids in the tent all retreated.

Only three people were left, and they began to talk about family matters and reminisce about past family ties. To show his concern, Dou Dan began to ask Li Yan about what happened in the past.

Li Yan had already planned this, and spun a story about a suave nobleman who went out for a spring outing and happened to meet a young girl named Handan. They fell in love at first sight. After dating for a few times, they secretly got engaged.

Of course, the lingering love is inevitably subject to worldly prejudice. The rich young man cannot marry his beloved due to family rules, and the passionate girl gives the wrong gift to the heartless man. In the end, she gives birth to a child and raises the child with great difficulty. Once the heartless young man enters heaven, he will never have the chance to come down to earth again.

The girl passed away in grief, leaving the boy alone and helpless, with a tragic fate of wandering around.

Dou Dan sighed secretly and asked subconsciously: "If that's the case, why don't you go to Chang'an?"

However, as soon as he asked the question, Dou Dan wanted to slap himself in the face.

As expected, Li Yan said angrily: "Who said I didn't go? I was only in my teens at the time and my mother had passed away. The first thing I wanted to do was to find that irresponsible person."
