Judging from historical records, when Li Yuan passed away, Li Shimin held Li Yuan's body, buried his face in his father's chest and cried like an idiot.
To say that he doesn't care about the family relationship between father and son is absolutely nonsense.
But even so, Li Shimin was still unwilling, let alone unable to let Li Yuan out.
Otherwise, who knows what might happen to these aristocratic families?
This is also the reason why he has a special affection for that sword.
Before going to see Li Sheng.
He only heard Empress Changsun say that it was suspected to be the child she left behind.
Although Li Er was excited, he had never met him in person at the time, so he naturally didn't think about changing Li Sheng to be the heir apparent.
Not to mention Li Sheng took the initiative,
In fact, from the beginning, Li Er's positioning for Li Sheng was really the wealthy and peaceful King Xian.
It would be good to live a comfortable life in Chang'an City, read more and raise the next generation well.
Who would have thought that this kid Li Sheng is nothing like a creature in the pond.
The sunshine of looking at the political situation is clearer than myself...
Of course this happened later.
Anyway, before I went to see Li Sheng.
Li Er was thinking,
A yin and yang gift from this group of intersex people.
No matter how good the sword is, it is just a toy to you.
What is the weapon of the emperor? Do you really think that my Li family is the emperor?
It's okay if my father is old and loses his energy.
The two brothers, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, were really spineless to a certain extent. They were seduced by some beauties with some jewelry sent by the aristocratic family, and they colluded with these people, and even wanted to do evil things to themselves.
So he decided to give the sword to a child he had never met as a toy instead of giving it to Prince Li Chengqian as a token.
it means.
What kind of calculations do you have in your mind? Brother Li, I know it in my heart!
certainly.
Li Er had another idea.
This kid is an Orion, right? Give him a sword and let him go to the army to practice martial arts with Qin, Yuchi and other generals.
In the future, I will be a strong-willed warrior so that I can slap these hermaphrodites in the face!
In fact, Li Er had no choice. These aristocratic families had deep roots, and they were all super famous in places like Qinghe and Taiyuan.
If I really want to touch them, they can pull out tens of thousands or even more than one hundred thousand private soldiers at any time!
With influence comes violence, and violence is the true foundation of these aristocratic families!
If we send troops to fight without overwhelming force, we don't know how long the fight will last.
I really can't do anything about them, so I can't let the world be in chaos again, right?
It’s so hard to be a good person when you have a big head.
However……
What Li Er never expected was...
This sword... was actually broken by one of Sheng'er's hunting knives?!
…
Li Er was just surprised at first.
After all, it is a treasure collected by a noble family, so this sword is of high quality.
At that time, he guessed...could it be that Cui of Qinghe deliberately sent a beautifully carved and inferior sword to give him eye drops?
But I heard that Sheng'er has a lot of research on the art of iron smelting, and it seems that this sword...
Not to say it's too bad, at least it's not worse than ordinary swords.
So when he returned to the palace, there was no one around but Du Ruhui and Li Junxian. Li Er immediately called a guard to the Ganlu Hall.
"Give me the knife."
"His Majesty?"
Seeing Li Er asking for a knife from the guards, Li Junxian suddenly became nervous.
There was nothing I could do about it, he was also young, and he would accompany an emperor like a tiger. The emperor was originally a strong man in the military, but he suddenly asked the guards for a sword... How could he not be afraid?
Du Ruhui was also confused.
Although he was not afraid, he was also surprised that His Majesty was... playing this?
Li Er waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. Just give me the knife."
The guards were all core dead men who had participated in the Xuanwu Sect. Since Li Er asked, he did not doubt his presence and handed it over directly.
Li Er took the saber, stretched out his fingers and flicked it.
when!
Li Er has always been skillful with bow and horse, and has considerable strength. His thick saber made a clear clang sound.
"This knife should be pretty good... Keming, was this knife made under the supervision of the Ministry of Works?"
"Your Majesty, the knives used by Su Wei are all made by the best blacksmiths specially recruited by the Ministry of Industry. Their quality is first-class in the world."
Du Ruhui answered honestly.
But he still didn't understand what Li Er wanted to do.
Then, Li Er took out a wooden box.
This wooden box looked familiar to both Du Ruhui and Li Junxian.
It was during the day that Li Er sent the sword to His Highness!
Du Ruhui understood instantly.
Your Majesty wants to test the sword!
Then, sure enough.
Li Er took out the sword from the wooden box.
Then his thick and powerful arms slowly unfolded, accumulating strength.
…
Du Ruhui and Li Junxian both became nervous.
Although he knew that His Majesty wanted to test the sword, he was still afraid that Li Er would hurt him.
After all, it had only been a few days since I had recovered from the typhoid fever, and the wound on my shoulder seemed to have opened up again.
At this time, Queen Changsun also came to Ganlu Hall.
When he saw Li Er holding dangerous objects in both hands, he immediately exclaimed and hurried over.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? Put this down quickly!"
Li Er smiled slightly.
I haven't touched a sword for a long time... maybe it's not as good as Sheng'er's swordsmanship.
Fortunately, Li Er is in good physical condition.
There was a slight look of difficulty on his face, but then...
His arms were violently twisted, and his power was still the same as before.
when!
A metal scream, like a bell, echoed in the Manna Palace!
Du Ruhui, Li Junxian, and Empress Changsun closed their eyes subconsciously at the same time.
Your Majesty is indeed the most powerful emperor in war, bar none...
Feeling in their hearts, the three of them paid little attention to the sword itself.
But,
The moment you open your eyes.
Empress Changsun was just unhappy and asked Li Er to put down the dangerous thing quickly.
Du Ruhui and Li Junxian in the hall were stunned.
The dagger was not damaged at all.
But the custom-made saber had a nearly two-inch gap cut out.
this?
This sword... is broken.
The sword cut off by the hunting knife!
But... this broken sword can actually cut such a good knife into this kind of shape??
It’s not just Du Ruhui and Li Junxian.
Li Er was also full of surprise and doubt.
"Come and take a look."
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty."
"This sword is really a sword. I don't use swords much, but I am used to sabers."
"This knife is obviously a good knife, but this broken sword can make cuts."
Li Er looked seriously into Du Ruhui's eyes.
"Keming, what do you think this means?"
"this……"
"Doesn't this mean that the hunting knife customized by His Highness..."
Du Ruhui's eyes widened and he suddenly remembered something.
"Your Majesty, where is the blacksmithing method that His Highness gave you? Don't lose it!"
At this moment, Du Ruhui was so nervous that it was the first time he spoke to Li Shimin in this exhorting tone.
Li Er laughed and took out a booklet from his arms.
"Keming, you are just joking. Even if I, Li Shimin, lose myself, I cannot lose this treasure!"
That thin booklet was surprisingly the manuscript that Li Sheng gave to Li Er!
Du Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"This is truly a military weapon. Your Highness has done a great service for Your Majesty this time."
"good!"
Li Er laughed loudly, "With this method of forging iron, every son of our Xuanjia Army will be able to use the best weapons and armor. By then..."
"I don't think anyone, be it a Turk or a noble family, dares to make trouble!"
