Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Chapter 126 I will do justice for you!

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling stood in front of the "Kuaixue Shiqing" letter hanging on the wall. Both of them looked extremely focused and looked at it carefully again and again.

This precious calligraphy piece is well preserved and enclosed in an exquisite rosewood frame.

Outside the frame, there is also a layer of clear glass.

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling looked through the layer of glass, their eyes full of admiration, and their fingers gently stroked the surface of the glass.

Li Chengqian watched the two of them concentrating and speaking silently from the side, a teasing arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked, "Father, is this calligraphy real or fake?"

When Li Shimin heard Li Chengqian's question, he slowly raised his head.

He deliberately frowned, with a hint of helplessness on his face, and said, "My dear, there is a piece of glass outside, so Aye can't see it clearly."

"This kind of precious thing needs to be taken back and carefully examined before an accurate conclusion can be drawn."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Li Shimin and said, "Then why not just take out this calligraphy?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he seemed to have heard something shocking. He waved his hands repeatedly and said urgently, "No, no, absolutely not! If there is a genuine item inside, what if it is damaged by taking it out casually?"

I'll take it back and examine it carefully. If it's genuine, Aye will send it back to you."

Li Chengqian nodded casually and said with a smile: "Come on, Aye, I really will give it to you. I don't know much about these things."

When Li Shimin heard this, he was immediately delighted and could not hide the smile on his face. He quickly said, "Thank you, my dear son!"

After saying this, he very carefully found a soft silk scarf and carefully wrapped the calligraphy piece.

Yuchi Jingde and Fang Xuanling, who were standing by, were speechless when they saw this scene.

Fang Xuanling was speechless that every time he came to Liangyi Hall for a meeting, he had the opportunity to appreciate this calligraphy. Now that it was taken away by Li Shimin, he would probably not have the chance to see it again in the future.

Yuchi Jingde was full of confusion and secretly complained that the calligraphy clearly had a frame, but Old Li was so worried that he would damage it. He really looked down on him!

After Li Shimin properly put away the letter "Kuaixueqingshijie", he walked as if he was carried by a gust of light breeze. It is true that people feel refreshed when they are happy.

Li Chengqian was also very happy when he saw Li Shimin so happy.

It seems that I have to ask the fat man Lin to collect more precious calligraphy and paintings in the future. This way, I can not only make Li Shimin happy, but also better preserve these precious works of calligraphy so that they can be passed on to future generations.

Li Chengqian turned around and picked up two exquisite glasses cases, handed them to Li Shimin, and said in a gentle tone: "Father, I promised you before."

"I have had two pairs of the finest reading glasses carefully made for you. If you want to see something at night and your vision is not clear, you can wear them."

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, then slowly reached out and took the two pairs of reading glasses.

A warm current surged from deep in his heart, his eyes became slightly hot, and his nose felt sore, but he managed to hold it back.

Li Chengqian looked at Fang Xuanling again and said with a smile, "Prime Minister Fang, I have also prepared your portion. It is included in the New Year's Day gift and will be distributed to you at the appropriate time."

Fang Xuanling hurriedly bowed and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

Compared to the joyful scene in the Liangyi Hall, Xie Wanquan was extremely anxious at the moment, and his brain was about to explode!

As the Minister of Rites, he was responsible for receiving envoys from various countries.

In the past, he was in charge of accepting gifts and preparing return gifts for other countries.

However, this time it was completely different. All the gifts were accepted smoothly. But according to convention, the Tang Dynasty should give corresponding return gifts when the envoys from various countries returned home.

Last month, Xie Wanquan sent six letters to the cabinet, asking what the return gift should be, but all of them fell on deaf ears and there was no response.

In desperation, Xie Wanquan was ready to meet His Majesty, but just as he was about to go, the cabinet's reply finally came.

The situation is roughly as follows: Xie Wanquan asked what the return gift should be and whether it had been prepared.

The cabinet replied that it had already drafted many proposals for reciprocal gifts and submitted them to His Majesty for review.

However, Li Chengqian’s reply was simple and direct - bullshit!

Now Xie Wanquan is in a dilemma, but he still has to maintain his composure on the surface.

It is really difficult to tell other countries that the Tang Dynasty has no reciprocal gift this year.

We can only muddle along for now, delay it for one day at a time, take one step at a time, and make plans later.

The Ministry of Rites had been incredibly busy these days, but a few days ago, Japanese envoys came to see him, claiming that one of their envoys had suffered a horrific accident in Chang'an.

I heard that both of their legs were broken after being beaten in Chang'an City, and each of their injuries was extremely serious. It was definitely not as simple as just breaking their legs.

Xie Wanquan did not dare to slack off at all, and specially went with the Japanese envoy to check it out.

The scene was truly shocking and horrific.

There were twenty-nine people in total, their legs were twisted into a knot, and the twisted shape was unbearable to look at.

I don't know who did it, but they were so cruel. The injured have basically lost their human functions and their leg bones have been completely shattered.

Six people died from the pain that day, and now, as time goes by, the number of people who died from the pain is probably still increasing, and there is no way of knowing how many people are left alive.

So many people were openly blocked on the road and beaten in Chang'an City, and their legs were cruelly crippled. But what is surprising is that no news of this was heard in Chang'an City.

You have to know that we are in a state of severe crackdown now. Who is so bold and dares to act so blatantly? He must have a powerful backing.

Xie Wanquan knew that he could not afford to offend such a person, nor did he dare to easily intervene in such a case. Without thinking, he directly reported the matter to the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the reply received was to ask the Japanese pirate envoys to bring the wounded to the New Year's Day ceremony, and His Majesty would personally seek justice for them!

When the Japanese envoys heard the news, they were ecstatic.

This year there may be hope that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will change the name of their country. After all, the name "Wakoku" is too ugly, making them feel inferior in many aspects such as diplomatic etiquette.
