Chapter 527

The Longquan Sword, originally named Longyuan Sword, is said to be cast by two sword masters Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang.

According to legend, Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang cast this sword, digging up the mountain, releasing the stream in the mountains, and leading it to the seven pools next to the sword-casting furnace that formed a seven-star ring of the Big Dipper. It is called "Seven Stars". After the sword is completed, looking down at the sword body, it is like climbing a high mountain and looking down at the abyss, ethereal and deep as if a dragon lying on the plate, it is called "Longyuan". Therefore, it is called "Seven Stars Dragon Abyss", abbreviated as "Longyuan Sword". At the end of the Sui Dynasty, it flowed into Li Yuan's hands and became Li Yuan's sword. Li Yuan ascended the throne and became the empress. In order to avoid taboos, the sword was renamed "Longquan Sword".

This sword is not a myth, and has detailed records in history. It is a real sword in history. Ou Yezi was a native of Yue in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period. When Ou Yezi was born, it was the period of disputes between the countries of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He discovered the difference in the properties of copper and iron, and cast the first iron sword, which was this "Longyuan". The strength of iron was far higher than that of the copper commonly used at that time, so this sword was without rivals at that time.

Although this sword casting skill is exquisite, its reputation is that it is also recorded in a historical book.

The story is like this. Wu Zixu was killed by treacherous ministers and was chased by the Chu soldiers and horses. He fled to the edge of the Yangtze River without any choice. The river was shaking with thousands of waves. He blocked the water in front of him, and there were pursuers behind him. Just when he was anxious, a small boat was coming quickly. The fisherman on the boat called him on the boat repeatedly. After Wu Zixu got on the boat, the boat quickly disappeared into the reed flowers and disappeared. The pursuers on the shore left in disappointment.

The fisherman carried Wu Zixu to the shore and brought wine and food for Wu Zixu. Wu Zixu thanked him deeply and asked him for his name. The fisherman called himself "Fisherman". Wu Zixu thanked him for his thanks. He walked a few steps, and turned around and turned back. He removed the Seven Star Dragon Abyss from his waist. He wanted to give this sword worth a thousand gold to the Fisherman to thank him. He also asked the Fisherman not to reveal his whereabouts. The Fisherman took the Seven Star Dragon Abyss sword, sighed to the sky, and said to Wu Zixu to save you just because you are a loyal and kind-hearted country and do not seek repaid. Now, you still suspect that I am greedy for profit and trust, so I have to show my nobleness with this sword. After that, the Seven Star Dragon Abyss has committed suicide. Since then, the Seven Star Dragon Abyss has called it the Sword of Integrity and Nobleness.

After Li Yuan got this sword, he loved it very much and was pampered by it. He often told people that he could win the world and rely on the help of this sword. The Seven-Star Dragon Yuan is a sword of integrity and nobility. His ability to get it shows that he is also a person of integrity and nobility, a powerful general, and a good prime minister is attracted by his integrity and nobility, so he followed him wholeheartedly, ending the troubled times, and achieving some achievements.

Five years ago, the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Li Shimin was stained with blood in his black armor and rushed into Li Yuan's bedroom. Li Yuan wanted to commit suicide with this sword, but was stopped by his left and right. Seeing this, Li Shimin snatched the sword into his hand and wanted to commit suicide. The sword blade cut his neck and was stopped by Li Yuan. Li Shimin knelt down and asked to die. Li Yuan was silent for a while, but he was unable to take action. So at dawn, he issued an order to make Li Shimin the crown prince. This Longquan sword also fell into Li Shimin's hands since then.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he stored the Longquan sword in "Shangfang" and officially announced that this sword was "Sword of the Emperor". Those who hold the sword can patrol on behalf of the Emperor. Seeing the sword is like seeing the Emperor. It became the "Shangfang sword" of the Tang Dynasty.

The word Shangfang originated from the official signature set up in the Han Dynasty and was specially designed to make artifacts used by emperors. Shangfang swords, originally originated from the Han Dynasty, and were called "Shangfang Ma Sword" in the Han Dynasty, and it represented imperial power as early as the Han Dynasty.

Li Shimin gave Li Mu the "Shangfang Sword" which itself represents an attitude. Li Mu held the Shangfang Sword and exercised the power of the emperor. In theory, Li Mu could do what Li Shimin could do, and Li Mu held the Sword and the Emperor's Sword and the Emperor could do it.

That's why Eunuch Gao was so surprised when he heard that Li Shimin wanted to give Li Mu Shangfang's sword. He suspected that Li Shimin was so angry that he wanted to persuade him, but in the end he didn't dare to speak, so he took the sword.

There were eunuchs from both East and West factories that were being prepared and not yet completed. There were about thirty or forty people. These thirty or forty people were all like Old Man Chen, who grew up in the palace as a child, and had great qualifications. They were recognized by Old Man Gao as his godson and were carefully trained. Kung Fu and Old Man Gao belonged to the same line, and each had their own strengths.

If they had a different attitude, they had never seen the opponent of the Jinyiwei, but if they spoke out the secret moves, the Jinyiwei might not be able to compete with one.

Eunuch Gao brought them all over, but he didn't want the Jinyiwei to be beautiful, and wanted the newly established two factories of the East and West China, to have a share of the pie and show their effect in front of Li Shimin.

Hearing Li Shimin's inquiry, Eunuch Gao bowed and said, "The old slave has handed the Longquan Sword to Zhulu Hou personally, but..."

"If you have something to say, why are you still hesitating?"

"Your Majesty, when the old slave first came, he saw Wang Shizhong and Wei Gong. Both of them looked bad."

Li Shimin snorted and said, "What do I think is it? They both have bad expressions? What does it have to do with me? I also want to ask them, who sent these assassins? Who are they? I hate that I will not die!"

Eunuch Gao waited for this sentence, and he took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, don't worry about this. It's not too early, so I'd better take a break soon. I'm willing to share these things for Your Majesty's worries."

"Okay, go and have a look. If you have any news, report it to me."

Li Shimin waved his hand, and Eunuch Gao was about to retreat. Suddenly, Empress Changsun called him. She glanced at Eunuch Gao deeply and said, "Gao Guan, what do you see and what you hear, it's all. You are the eyes and ears of Your Majesty. You don't need to make a decision, do you understand?"

Eunuch Gao felt as if he had been seen through in an instant, and said carefully, "I understand."

Watching Eunuch Gao walk away, Li Shimin laughed and said, "Are the queen too cautious? Look at you scared Gao Zheng? What kind of bad intentions can he have to follow me for more than 20 years?"

"Your Majesty, if a powerful official interferes in politics, he will indiscriminate the court. Eunuch Gao is not a bad person by nature. Usually he collects a little money, and I think he has not seen it. But now is an extraordinary period. He is a person around His Majesty. Every move will affect His Majesty's judgment. I warn him that he is to keep his duties and not to interfere in matters that should not be taken care of."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "I didn't see that he wanted to get involved?"

"Even if he doesn't want to, there must be someone who wants him to get involved." Empress Changsun smiled and stopped pestering this matter, saying, "Your Majesty, it's not too early, let's rest. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay, I also want to see if Li Mu can give me another surprise!"

...

As the sky gradually became brighter, the bosses from the three provinces and six ministries were sent to the valley by Hou Junji. Everyone had no place to settle down, so they had to beg Cheng Yaojin to free up several military accounts. Cheng Yaojin was not used to it at all. One military account was 100 guan a night, and he could write an IOU without bringing money. Before dawn, he made more than a thousand guan first.

When everyone was sleeping soundly, Hou Junji was pulled out of the quilt. He felt very unhappy. But when he heard that the emperor was assassinated, he immediately didn't care about the argument and came to the valley voluntarily to see how the emperor was injured.

But no matter who it was, even Changsun Wuji, the uncle, he could not see Li Shimin. The emperor was injured and recuperated, and no one except the doctor saw him.

If you can't see the emperor, then you can see the master here? But what's so annoying is that Li Mu actually avoided it, because he was entrusted by His Majesty to find out that the assassin should not meet outsiders before the matter is revealed, otherwise he would be suspected of colluding with confessions.

What is this? What is the collusion of offering? Do you treat everyone as a suspect?

Yu Shinan was the first one who couldn't hold back his anger. His situation was a bit special. His origin was from an authentic aristocratic family, but his ancestral home was Yuyao, Yuezhou. Is it considered a Shandong aristocratic family? It seems that he can't be considered a member of the Shandong aristocratic family? However, his in-laws were from Shandong aristocratic families, and the Ministry of Rites was also the yamen where the Shandong aristocratic family had a relatively large proportion. Therefore, in the traditional sense, he was considered a member of the aristocratic family.

But Yu Shinan really did not participate in these struggles. Therefore, he felt a little unfair when he was brought here. If it were a small matter, he would not say anything. However, this time he involved assassinating the emperor. Such crimes of killing the nine clans were all related to the murder of his own life. How could he be willing to take the blame?

Among the six ministries, Changsun Wuji is the one who has the closest relationship with the royal family. This is the time when there is no head-free fly, Changsun Wuji is naturally the first person to discuss.

Yu Shinan came to Changsun Wuji's military tent and saw Changsun Wuji lying with his clothes. He didn't know if he had slept, and hesitated whether he should speak.

Changsun Wuji opened his eyes when he heard the voice, saw Yu Shinan wandering at the door, sat up, and said, "Boshi has something to come in and say."

"I'm upsetting my uncle."

Yu Shinan stepped in and knelt down at the place where Changsun Wuji gave it out. Changsun Wuji lit the lamp. This oil lamp was also exchanged for 100% of the oil lamp.

"What's the matter with Bosch?"

"Uncle, I feel a little uneasy."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "There is always a time when the truth is revealed. If Bo Shi feels guilty, how can he be uneasy? Could it be..."

Yu Shinan's expression changed drastically, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "My uncle's words made me panic. How dare I do such a traitor? My uncle has known me for many years and should understand my character. I have never participated in the fight. I..."

"I laughed at you, Boshi, don't panic." Changsun Wuji smiled and comforted him. He didn't believe that Yu Shinan would do such a thing. Because he had no motivation, this incident had nothing to do with him. Although the Yu family is also a big family, it is not enough to compare with the Wang family in Taiyuan.

Yu Shinan finally calmed down and sighed, "I'm afraid that Zhulu Hou will take his anger to me."

Changsun Wuji said, "Where do you start this?"
