Chapter 111: Chuan Guoxi
After unifying China, Qin Shihuang, the first emperor in Chinese history, ordered the engraving of an emperor's jade seal, called it the "Secret of the Emperor".
Since Qin Shihuang first formulated the treasure seal system in Chinese history, this system has been used by dynasties in history until the end of the Qing Dynasty. The front of the jade seal was engraved with the eight words "Accepted from heaven, and will live forever" written by Prime Minister Li Si in large seal script, as "
The token of imperial power is a godly grant, orthodox and legality. The imperial seal has since become a symbol of inheriting the heavenly commandment. Emperors of all dynasties have regarded the imperial seal as an important symbol of power and a symbol of unification of the world.
The person who obtained the jade seal interpreted the jade seal as a manifestation of "being obliged by heaven"; and once he lost the jade seal, he regarded it as a manifestation of "exhausted energy". If any emperor did not hold the imperial seal in his hand when he ascended the throne,
He was ridiculed as the "white emperor". It means that you, the emperor, were sealed by yourself, and there was no way to prove it. The edicts they issued without jade seals are naturally not so convincing.
The seal is the token of the emperor's exercise of power and a symbol of state power. In a sense, the seal is even more important than the emperor himself. Because of the loss of the seal, the emperor loses all his power. Therefore, the jade seal of the kingdom has not only become
The goal of the ambitious people coveted and separatist kings is also a treasure of the harem of the central dynasty and an important weapon for the country.
So what has been surrounded by it since its birth is the heavy sword lights and sword shadows, the low drums and horns, its appearance and disappearance have even become a symbol of the change of dynasties and the change of flags of the country. It has been changing hands in blood and killing countless times
Disappearance and magical reappearance…
"Zhao Yong, where did you get that box?" Zhao Xiao took the box over and asked as if nothing had happened. The brocade box that Zhao Yong called was useless was filled with a jade seal. From the shape and legend
The imperial seals in the city are similar, but Zhao Qiong cannot tell whether it is true or false. He wanted to draw something from Zhao Yong's mouth and see its origin.
"I picked it up on the battlefield. It may be a seal from Yelu Yanxi or an official, or it may be from the Jurchens. I don't know the words on it, and I can't tell which country's words are!" Zhao Yong scratched his scalp and said, scratching his scalp and said
.
"Oh, this is Khitan. It should be someone from the Liao Dynasty. I just don't know who was unlucky. I even lost the big seal!" Zhao Qi pretended to hold the seal and looked at it and said, "The Legend of the Seal"
It was written by Li Si in a large seal script that "received from heaven. He has lived forever" and he couldn't understand the eight words, but counting was not a problem, and the number of words was also eight. Zhao Yong obviously didn't know what this seal meant, so he was also
A master who has no eyes to recognize gold and jade.
"Boss, why don't I find someone who knows Khitan to see what I wrote?" Zhao Yong said with a smile when he saw that the prince seemed a little interested.
"No need, I think this piece of jade is good. I will find a jade craftsman in the mansion to grind the characters one day and engrave them again!" Zhao Qi waved his hand and put the jade seal in the box again. He dared not accept Zhao Yong's
Good intentions. If this is leaked, it will cause big trouble, so he doesn't want Zhao Yong to get involved, let alone let others know.
"Boss, then give it to me!" Zhao Yong said with a smile, but he secretly complained in his heart. "Tsk, stingy. I want to save this little money."
"Okay, I'll let them carve the 'Kru Army Commander' for you, so I can save you from poking people with a wood all day!" Zhao Qi closed the lid casually and pushed the box aside casually and said.
"Then thank you, Prince!" Zhao Yong bowed his hand and said, but he secretly hated himself for talking too much and made a second-hand product.
"Hurry up and get all those princesses away, I'll thank you!" Zhao Qiong said with a blank look.
"Okay, I'll go find Yelu Yuxi immediately and let their relatives reunite!" Zhao Yong agreed hurriedly. The prince seemed to be fucked. He had to do it quickly, otherwise he would have to be kicked again. When he walked to the door of the mansion, he suddenly remembered the serious matter.
I didn't do it, I just talked to the prince. I wanted to go back, but I was afraid that the prince would scold me, so I simply did it and then told the prince that it was really difficult to deal with it when he was unhappy.
Seeing Zhao Yong go out, Zhao Qi closed the door and told Wangfu not to disturb his rest. Then he crawled into his bedroom with a brocade box. He wanted to find out whether the jade seal in his hand was real.
The imperial seal. It is better to say that he gets the baby's surprise, but it is a strong curiosity to let Zhao Qi find out the truth.
Historical records, the last time the imperial seal appeared was on January 11, 937 AD. Shi Jingtang, the governor of Hedong of the Later Tang Dynasty, led the Khitan army to attack Luoyang. Li Congke, the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, climbed to Xuanwu Tower with the imperial seal on his arms and burned himself. The jade seal fell from then on.
Unknown, until the Yuan Dynasty was short-lived and disappeared again after more than four hundred years. Over the past few hundred years, from the king of a country to the rural villagers, they were looking for it. All kinds of speculations were flying all over the sky, but the imperial seal was never found. It was completely
It disappeared for more than a thousand years, but until the end of Zhao Qi's previous life, he had never heard of it appearing again, becoming an eternal mystery.
There are many people who have been the king in history, but there is only one jade seal, so many powerful and powerful heroes carved jade seals privately. Their "creative" of privately creating jade seals was welcomed and imitated by many rioters and tyrants in later generations, and the copycat version of the country was passed down.
The seals are flying all over the sky, and even Zhao Qi's father has one in his hand. It is said that a farmer dug out from the ruins of Li Congke's self-immolation in the Zhezong Dynasty. At that time, more than a dozen major scholars in the court repeatedly examined them, and it has been confirmed that it is true.
of.
If you really have appeared, then the one in your hand may be fake, but Zhao Qi was a visitor to later generations. After being certified by the "Magic Emperors" of that era, they all tend to be fake. Think about it,
At that time, Shi Jingtang led the Khitans to attack Luoyang, and Li Congke carried the seal and burned himself. After that, no remnants were found on him that looked like the jade seal, and there was not even a stone similar to that. That was the result of tens of thousands of people searching on the first scene.
.
With the importance of the imperial seal, it is estimated that not only was the excavation of three feet of the ground at that time, but the ruins left during the self-immolation must have been sieve. Not to mention the jade seal, I am afraid that even a jade piece can be found, so four hundred years later
It is impossible to be suspicious if the reappearance of the same place is. The Heshi Bi jade that made the imperial seal in legend is hard and not afraid of fire and water. If this is a fact, according to normal reasoning, it should be taken away by the Khitans as soon as possible
It was circulated in the hands of the Liao emperors of all dynasties and was finally left on the battlefield by Yelu Yanxi in panic. Theoretically, this process is reasonable!
Zhao Xiao talks about jade quality and carvings are outsiders, so he can only look at the 'mark' on the jade seal again. One is that Wang Mang was thrown off the dragon horn when he usurped power. Wang Mang ordered people to inlay gold, and he passed on the country from then on
The seal has a nickname "Golden Inlaid Jade"; the other is that after Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate and obtained the seal, he carved the official character "The Great Wei received the Han Dynasty seal" on the shoulder of the seal, indicating that he had visited here; the last one did
The mark is that Shile, the Later Zhao, destroyed the former Zhao and obtained the imperial seal. This guy was even more ingenious and engraved the "Directional Shishi" on the right.
The text defects on the jade seal are consistent with the legends and records one by one. Zhao Qiong dared not say that this jade seal was the one worn by Qin Shihuang, but it can be concluded that at least it was a high imitation seal, which was recognized by the Liao emperors of all dynasties and has always been
It is truly useful and has been recognized both at home and internationally, which means you can use this jade seal to do something!
Zhao Qi was jumped by his sudden thoughts. Is it really a matter of his butt that determines his head, and his goals have also changed with the increase of status and power? Look at what he has done in the past few years!
Economically, he controlled the Xixia and influenced their political direction; although he did not show up in Liao, his tentacles extended to the Xijing Road and the Southwest Zhaofangsi of Liao. If he was not afraid, he could
It is easy to capture Datong and control this large area; for the Jurchens, he is now cultivating an exiled government, and once the time is ripe, he can become a sharp blade in his hand and penetrate into the heart of the Wanyan regime, nailing it to his back
Nail. In China, I became the actual king of the Northwest, cultivated my own civil service system and armed forces, and mastered the economic lifeline of the Northwest through my own business empire. As long as I am willing to completely control the Northwest!
"I don't want to be the emperor. My target is a prince of Xiaoyao. I will suffer if I don't go to the north to eat snow!" Zhao Qi shook his head suddenly, trying to throw out the thought of "big rebellious" that suddenly appeared in his mind, but the rumor at hand was the one he had.
How to deal with the National Seal? At this moment, this treasure that everyone dreams of has turned into a hot potato in his hands.
"Damn, isn't this thing use nothing but being the emperor?" Zhao Qi lay on the table and looked at the important national weapon placed in front of him. The priceless jade quality, the ingenious carving, plus the
Unparalleled calligraphy makes this jade seal an exquisite work of art. He thought about how to preserve and increase the value of this work of art so as not to be smashed into his hands.
"What if the next door was asked to go to Datong, Xijing with the imperial edict covered with the seal?" Zhao Qi suddenly thought that there was a genuine Liao prince living next door, but it was still in vain for the time being. If they were left alone, they would be left alone.
Can it turn waste into treasure when used together?
Yelu Xinilie was the eldest son of Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liao. He was once a stay in Xijing. He was appointed as "Tiyin" last winter. This official has great power and specializes in the political and religious affairs of the royal family and regulates the internal affairs of the aristocratic group.
, make sure they obey the supreme leader and still have armed forces. Just after he left Xijing, his successor Xiao Chala surrendered under pressure.
"I will first forge the edict that the Liao Emperor appointed him as the one who stayed in Xijing to Li Liangfu, and then pass it over to Yelu Xinilie, and then Yelu Yuxi escort him to Datong to usurp the throne!" Zhao Qi was really a genius who turned a waste into a treasure
