Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

At this time, Li Shimin looked at the sword on the tray in front of him, then held it in his hand, and took it out for a look.

I saw that the color of this sword was gray and black, with two edges.

There is a round gilt guard on the hilt.

The scabbard is composed of two pieces of hardwood, fixed by five sets of copper rings with different decorations, and there is a blue dragon on each side of a set of copper rings in the guard ring.

It looks really sharp and cold.

Even when Li Shimin saw him, he kept nodding, with a look of love in his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Ke couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

When he tried his best to find this green dragon sword, he thought that his father, who had been a soldier all his life, would love this sword forever.

And just like what Xiao Yu said, once the emperor is happy, the day when he returns to Chang'an will not be far away.

Only in Chang'an can he better accumulate his power and get closer to the core of imperial power.

However, at this moment, Li Shimin's words suddenly drove him from the clouds to the abyss.

"Li Ke, you have a heart."

"But now that I have bid farewell to the battlefield for several years, these precious swords can only play their true role in the hands of real generals."

"According to my will, I will pass on this sword to General Shenwu, Li Qiu."

"Li Ke, you've been traveling all the way and drank again. If you have nothing to do, go back and rest."

Upon hearing this, Li Ke's mind couldn't help buzzing.

The anger in his heart was boiling and boiling like a volcanic eruption, but he didn't dare to show it.

Li Shimin's last words, and the fact that he gave the sword directly to Li Qiu, clearly meant to beat Li Ke.

The general meaning is that this sword and this filial piety are very good, and this time's merits and demerits are offset, so don't pursue it anymore, you can go back.

As for Li Ke, he spent so much effort to get this green dragon sword, and Li Shimin gave it directly to Li Qiu, whom he hated the most? !

How could he swallow this bad breath? !

In the end, Li Ke himself didn't know how he forcibly controlled his emotions that were about to erupt and respectfully withdrew from the Lizheng Palace.

He didn't even remember how he got back to his Prince Wu's mansion from the palace.

At this moment, he just wants to roar, shout, especially want to kill!

……

On the other side, after Li Qiu and the others returned to the Furong Garden, Wu Jue was directing the craftsmen, servants, and guards to engage in civil engineering and infrastructure in full swing.

In just one day, she led people to tear down all the rammed earth walls of the inner house.

At the same time, all the wineries and workshops were relocated and isolated.

At present, only the Crystal Palace, the printing workshop, and the residence and storage warehouse are left in the inner house.

As for the zoning of the Zhongzhai, Wu Jue also made a very good design on the location.

Almost all of Li Qiu's worries and concerns were taken into consideration.

He is even extremely careful, and has been better optimized through his own ideas.

Seeing this, Li Qiu and Luo Kexin couldn't help but widen their eyes, "Wu Jue, yes!"

"Yes, Wu Jue, you are really amazing."

"The two of us have been planning for several days, but it's not as good as you can do it in one day!"

Hearing the exclamation and praise of the two of them, Wu Jue also smiled.

"Actually, I prefer to remodel houses at home rather than go to restaurants."

"Then watching these craftsmen and guards realize these houses and courtyard walls bit by bit according to my idea, it is quite interesting."

At this time, Luo Kexin took her hand and said with a smile: "This is even better."

"In the future, the reconstruction of the Furong Garden will be handed over to you."

"As for the business and restaurants in the East Market and West Market, leave it to me to take care of them."

"Compared with tearing down walls and building houses, I still prefer that side."

That's it, the two of them hit it off and exchanged roles.

At this moment, someone reported that Xu De, the chief eunuch in the palace, had arrived.

Upon hearing this, Li Qiu and Luo Kexin rushed out to welcome them.

And when he saw the two of them walking out quickly, Xu De also had a gentle smile on his face.

"My lord, my concubine, what virtue can I have, and let the two of you greet me in person?"

Li Qiu said with a smile at this time: "Mr. Xu, you finally came to my Furong Garden."

"This time, I can't just leave in a hurry after saying something."

"Come on, please, have some tea with me."

Xu De bowed to thank, "Since the prince warmly invites you, I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

Afterwards, they chatted casually, and came to the living room, where Wu Jue personally made tea for Li Qiu and Xu De using tea sets.

When taking the teacup from Wu Jue, Xu De smiled and joined hands.

"Miss Wu Jue is really beautiful, intelligent, and ingenious."

"Your Majesty usually likes Miss Wu Sui very much."

"I just hope that you can get through the door sooner and give birth to a son and a half for the prince."

After hearing his words, Wu Jue and Luo Kexin who was beside him blushed immediately.

Wu Jue is a little embarrassed because he has not yet entered the school, and now he is so unfair.

And Luo Kexin, of course, sadly mentioned the matter of having a child.

Can't help but secretly cast a coquettish glance at Li Qiu.

Afterwards, after screening away the idlers and others, Xu Decai revealed his reason for coming.

It was His Majesty who rewarded Li Qiu with the sword sent by Li Ke, king of Wu.

Xu De was ordered to bring the sword.

Chapter 309 A gift from Prince Li Qiu

As he spoke, Li Qiu held the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand from the tray presented by the eunuch.

As soon as he got his hands on it, Li Qiu could feel a sense of simplicity, coldness and chilling from the sword of the Han Dynasty.

Immediately, Li Qiu pulled out the precious sword suddenly.

At this moment, a crisp sound with a slight trembling sounded like a dragon's chant, resounding in everyone's ears.

Especially Xu De, who was the closest, seemed to see a faint blue-gray light and dazzling shadow appearing in front of his eyes.

Could it be that this Azure Dragon Sword survived? !

As if he might have found his own master, the Azure Dragon Sword held in Li Qiu's hand trembled slightly, and a different kind of emotion and courageous fighting spirit and fighting spirit also emerged in Li Qiu's heart.

The swordsman, the gentleman is armed.

The development of the sword also reached its peak in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Then with the development of the times, it gradually began to be replaced by long weapons such as guns, spears, and lances.

The technology and craftsmanship of sword casting was also the heyday and peak in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

This green dragon sword is really gratifying.

Even Luo Kexin and Wu Jue who were on the side were deeply shocked by the momentum of this sword.

At the same time, he was happy that his husband got a sword.

Afterwards, Li Qiu put the sword back into its sheath, put it away, and turned around to thank Xu De.

"Mr. Xu, please come and give me this sword yourself. It's really hard work."

"At the same time, Li Qiu is extremely grateful to His Majesty and Your Majesty for bestowing the sword."

"I really like this sword."

Xu De smiled, "It's good that the prince likes it."

"Your Majesty also said that such a sword can only be used in its true role in the hands of a general like the prince."

Speaking of this, Xu De paused again, and confessed quite seriously: "This time the empress sent me here, and I still have a message to convey to you, my lord."

"Just don't have any scruples or worries about King Wu because of this sword."

"If you encounter trouble here, you can go to your empress at any time."

"If you find it difficult to speak, my lord, you can send someone into the palace to tell me."

Such a remark, just a few sentences, reveals information and affection, which is far from being so simple.

At this moment, Luo Kexin also just rightly took out an incomparably exquisite purple sand pot.

These are also the few that Li Qiu sent a special person to try to make when he found good purple clay when he went south with Meng Shen.

This time, it was brought back with Wu Jue.

But only one of them is usable, and Li Qiu gave it to Xu De now, and the others have already fallen.

"Mr. Xu, this is made by my lord personally ordering someone to use good clay."

"This is the first batch of purple clay teapots in the world, and it is the only one."

"It's specially given to you, I hope you don't dislike it."

Upon hearing Luo Kexin's words and seeing the exquisiteness and rarity of this teapot, Xu De did not dare to take it.

"Princess, lord, how can I, Xu Dehe De, be worthy of having such a precious teapot?"

"I appreciate the kindness of you two, thank you."

"But this pot, I won't accept it."

Li Qiu smiled at this moment, and personally stuffed the teapot into his hand.

"Director Xu, we've been close friends for the past two years."

"There is no need to say more about the depth of friendship."

"This teapot is neither gold, nor silver, nor jade. It is fired from clay. Just a little thought is not an arrogance."

"You just accept it."

"Besides that, there is also a bag of low-grade tea, which I will bring into the palace with me later, to drink in my spare time."

In the end, Xu De was very moved, and accepted the gift with great gratitude.

The kindness between him and Li Qiu, as well as to Li Qiu, actually stems from the empress's affection.

But as Li Qiu said, after the past two years, the two of them are really too familiar.

Over time, there is a very deep understanding and friendship between each other.

Li Qiu is not a person of this era. His state of mind, thinking, and views are completely different from this era.

His sincerity and indifference also infected many people including Xu De.

After returning to the Lizheng Palace, Xu De also reported his itinerary to Empress Changsun.

When talking about the sword in Li Qiu's hands, the aura was astonishing, as if the green dragon on the sword was resurrected, and Li Qiu liked it very much, Empress Changsun's smile was very comfortable and very happy.

Afterwards, Xu De presented the teapot Li Qiu gave him and the package of tea wrapped in ordinary oil paper to Empress Changsun.

"Reporting to your empress, when I came back, the prince and princess, as well as Miss Wu Jue, gave me this teapot and tea leaves."

"No matter what I say, I will not refuse."

"I really dare not accept such an expensive gift."

At this time, Empress Changsun smiled, "Since it was given to you by Li Qiu and his children, you can accept it."
