The old man was old, but he was no different from an old child!
To the old man, there was nothing that he could not accept. Two years ago, he had even received an oil field that was a gift from Dubai. After the old man accepted it, he donated it to the country. However, the old man kept some other luxury goods that the King of Dubai had given him!
The country wouldn't say anything either, because at Old Master's level, the exchange of benefits wasn't that simple!
Moreover, the old master actually didn't care anymore!
However, although the old master was no longer in charge, his third son was still in charge. His third son was one of the nine elders, and it was precisely because of this that the influence of the old master's family was terrifyingly deep!
"Old Master, this is the hundred-year-old ginseng I brought for you!”
It was said to be a hundred-year-old ginseng, but in fact, it was nearly a thousand years old. It was a treasure in Li Shiming's palace treasury, and it was also a relic of the previous dynasty. Even after so many years of war, Li Shiming rarely had such a thing. Usually, he would leave it in the palace. If something happened to a loyal minister, he would use it to hang on to his life!
"Whoa, ginseng. It's been a long time since I've seen a hundred-year-old ginseng!”
The old man took it directly. The box was made of jade, and the inside was tightly sealed. Once it was closed, oxygen could not enter, so even if the ginseng had been through a thousand years, there would still be no change.
This was the wisdom of the ancient people. To be honest, modern preservation technology was not as good as this!
"This ginseng is quite something. It's even an old item?”
The old man's withered hands carefully took out the ginseng from the box. He looked at it carefully and realized that it was still very heavy.
"This is at least half a catty, and this is even dried ginseng. If it was just thrown out of the soil, wouldn't it be two catties smaller? Good heavens, this was a hundred-year ginseng. It was probably a thousand-year ginseng!”
The old man was 96 years old this year, but he still didn't need to wear presbyopic glasses to see things. He directly held it in his hands and turned it over and over to look at it. His dry arms looked trembling, but in fact, they were still full of strength.
The old man had martial arts. His grandfather seemed to have learned it before, but he did not learn it for long. Moreover, it was the old man's family cultivation method. It was a set of internal martial arts. It basically did not have much combat strength. Later on, when he was busy, he forgot to fight.
Unfortunately, if his grandfather had persevered, he might have lived a few more years!
"It's almost a thousand years old. I'll keep this for you. Don't reject it!”Li Yi quickly said. The old man nodded. After putting the ginseng away, he closed the box and placed it on the table.
"Alright, this thing is going to be of use to an old man like me. With it, I can live a little longer. I'll take this one. Take it out and let me see. If it's the next one, it's fine. As long as it doesn't violate the law, this old man will promise you three things. But if I'm not satisfied, I'll only promise to help you with one thing!”
The old man laughed heartily. The person he felt the most sorry for in his life was Li Yi's grandfather. Li Yi could come to him and plead for help. He said that he would help as long as it was not illegal. However, in reality, even if it was really illegal, as long as it was not a big deal, he would still help!
He had never repaid Li Yi's grandfather for saving his life in his entire life. For Li Yi to be able to repay this kindness, it could be considered as fulfilling one of the old man's wishes.
Li Yi took out another item. The moment he took it out, the old man's eyes widened.
"This is the Imperial Jade Seal?"
The old man's eyes widened. Then, he picked up the glasses that were useless when he looked at the ginseng from the table and looked at it carefully.
"It's not a Heshi jade. It should be an imitation.”
The old man immediately decided. Li Yi nodded at the side. This was indeed an imitation. Even if it was the real Imperial Seal, it was usually very difficult to use. It was usually placed as a mascot. Only on extremely formal occasions and imperial edicts would the Imperial Seal be used.
"It seems that this is Lantian jade. The craftsmanship is similar to that of the late Sui and early Tang dynasties. Rumor has it that Li Shimin was looking for the Imperial Jade Seal, but he couldn't find it, so he carved many Imperial Jade Seals and forged them to defend himself.”
Li Yi smiled and shook his head. He flipped over the jade seal and pointed at the cinnabar seal on the corner. The old man looked at it carefully and suddenly understood.
" This is Emperor Yang's jade seal, right? Emperor Yang loved strange flowers and stones and used all kinds of jade stones to make the Imperial Jade Seal. When he fled at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the people in the Life Palace took the jade seal and fled everywhere in order to prevent Li Yuan from getting the Imperial Jade Seal. In the end, the Imperial Jade Seal went to Mobei and returned to Emperor Taizong in the fourth year of Zhenguan..."
Li Yi smiled and nodded. The old man also became more energetic."I thought it was Li Shimin. After all, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had carved too many Imperial Seals. However, it was only four years ago in Zhenguan. After the real Imperial Seals were in his hands, there were no more carvings!”
"This is a whole piece of Lantian jade. Li Shimin carved the imperial seal to comfort himself, not to use it. However, there is seal mud here, which means that this is used.”
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had a carefree personality and was a super egoistic individual hero. Moreover, the Imperial Jade Seal was very important, and Li Shimin used another Imperial Jade Seal. The most important point was that Li Shimin's Imperial Jade Seal was printed with the words "Treasure of the Tang Emperor", and on the back, it was printed with the words "Ordered by Heaven, Longevity".
Li Shimin would never use such a jade seal as a jade seal before he had the Imperial Jade Seal.
"Very good, I like this gift very much. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was an emperor who had been wronged for thousands of years. He was overflowing with talent and was rare at that time. Unfortunately, he was too headstrong and conceited. Otherwise, there would really be nothing for the Great Tang…"
All of this naturally had to be said by the future generations.
Emperor Yang had attacked Goguryeo many times and opened up the canal, causing the country to be over-exhausted. Moreover, everything was happening in clusters, not giving the people a chance to breathe.
As a result, everyone rebelled.
If Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had softened his actions and gathered the hearts of the people, not to mention the Great Tang, even if Qin Shihuang was resurrected, he might not have been able to destroy them!
