Li Yuanji waited until the soldiers escorted Yicheng away, and then he couldn't wait to look at the box in Li Shentong's hand.
Li Shentong handed the box to Li Yuanji knowingly.
Li Yuanji tried not to lose his composure and slowly opened the box.
Inside the box, lies a seal slightly larger than a fist. The seal's knot is composed of five intersecting dragons. The whole body is moist and has a stream of light lingering around it. It is the patina produced after being played with for a long time.
Li Yuanji carefully took out the seal and saw a line of words on the side where the five dragons intersected, "The Great Wei received the national seal of the Han Dynasty", which was engraved by Cao Pi during the Three Kingdoms period when he proclaimed himself emperor and established the system.
On the right side of the seal, there is also a line of words "Destiny Shishi", which was engraved by Shi Le of Later Zhao during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Turning over the bottom of the seal, there are eight seal characters engraved on it: "Ordered by Heaven, I will live forever."
“It’s really the jade seal passed down from the country!”
Li Shentong exclaimed after seeing the eight big characters at the bottom clearly.
Li Yuanji put the gold-inlaid jade back into the box and said: "It still needs to be verified. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty has admitted that it is the jade seal passed down from the country. If the Tang Dynasty does not admit it, it is just a piece of jade."
Li Shentong swallowed subconsciously and said, "You can actually control it? Do you know that when you ignored Yang Yicheng and destroyed it just now, my heart almost jumped out of my chest."
Li Yuanji held the box steadily and said nothing.
In fact, his heart almost jumped out of his chest at that time, just to take advantage of Yicheng, so he had to pretend to be cold and not care about Jin Xiangyu.
Seeing that Li Yuanji was silent, Li Shentong continued: "Who are you going to find to verify?"
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shentong, and while walking into the Tai Chi Hall, he said: "Of course it's a ruler, and it's a bronze ruler handed down from the Qin Dynasty."
According to historical records, gold inlaid with jade is a square with a length, width and height of four inches.
One inch in the Qin Dynasty was about 2.3 centimeters, and four inches in the Qin Dynasty was about 9.2 centimeters.
Use a ruler to measure it, and then combine it with the history that affects the gold inlaid jade itself, and you can distinguish the authenticity from the fake.
There are three historical passages that have an impact on Jin Jade itself. One is when Wang Mang snatched the jade seal from Wang Zhengjun. Wang Zhengjun smashed the jade seal on the ground in anger and broke a corner. The other is when Cao Pi carved the seal.
One section is Shi Le's inscription.
It is understandable that Wang Zhengjun, a woman who was helpless after the Han Dynasty was usurped, smashed the jade seal in anger.
But when Cao Pi and Shi Le carved words on the jade seal, it looked very tasteless.
Just like some people in later generations carved on the stone tablets and stone walls of some historical sites that someone visited this place.
Jiangshan Sheji does not mean that it will last forever if you carve it on a stone.
It requires you to continuously pay for it, constantly improve it, and constantly change it, in order to continue to exist.
It can't be determined by carving words on a stone.
Therefore, Cao Pi and Shi Le were not only very dishonest, but also very naive.
"The dimensions and everything recorded in the history books match up. It should be the jade seal passed down from the country without a doubt."
After Li Yuanji returned to the Tai Chi Hall, he immediately ordered someone to go to the inner treasury to get a Qin ruler, and measured the gold inlaid jade, and the measured size was accurate.
Coupled with the gold rim on the corner of the jade seal and the inscriptions of Cao Pi and Shi Le, there is no doubt that it is genuine.
In fact, when Li Shentong said the words "It's really the jade seal passed down from the country", he was convinced that the gold inlaid jade was real.
Because Li Shentong had seen this thing from a distance, and with Li Shentong's ability to identify treasures, the fake thing couldn't fool his eyes at all.
However, even though he was sure in his heart that the gold inlaid jade was genuine, and it had been verified by the size and historical records, Li Yuanji still took the gold inlaid jade and dipped it in ink pad, printed a mark on the paper, and then ordered someone to put the jade in front of him.
Take the marks left behind and compare them.
"It seems to have been smoothed here, and the mark is very shallow. It's the same here, it can match."
After Li Shentong looked at the mark for a long time, he shouted excitedly.
Li Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "I am ordered by God!"
Li Shentong also laughed heartily, "Hahahaha... I, Li Tang, have been ordered by heaven from now on!"
An Xinggui and Ma Sanbao looked at each other, and with bright smiles they raised their hands and said, "I would like to congratulate Your Highness, and congratulate the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded and said: "You can say that you have done a great job for your hard work this time. Not only did you complete the important task I assigned you, but you also gave me a big surprise.
After Li Jing returns to Beijing, I will discuss your merits and reward you."
An Xinggui and Ma Sanbao bowed together.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"
Li Yuanji waved his hand and said: "Okay, you have been tired from the journey and you must be tired. You will go to the soup pool to wash up and have a good meal before leaving the palace."
An Xinggui and Ma Sanbao thanked them again.
Li Yuanji ordered people to take An Xinggui and Ma Sanbao down, and then called Liu Jun back.
Liu Jun was also a thief and knew that Li Yuanji was trying to scare Yicheng, so he did not go to Chengqing Hall at all, but found a place to hide behind Taiji Hall.
When Li Yuanji sent someone to summon him, he quickly appeared in Tai Chi Hall.
Li Yuanji took Li Shentong and Liu Jun, holding two boxes, and rushed to Liangyi Palace.
For such a big event, it was natural to report it to Li Yuan, so that Li Yuan would also be happy.
When Li Yuanji and his people rushed to the Liangyi Hall, Li Yuan was playing the pipa. His fingers were playing very fast, and the tune was very moving. A very beautiful dancer twisted her body and danced along with the music. It was really beautiful.
Pei Ji was holding the wine bottle and was feeling dizzy from drinking. He looked like he was in a state of inebriation. There were two beauties lying beside him.
"Father!"
Li Yuanji shouted when Li Yuan was twirling his fingers most happily.
Li Yuan's interest was suddenly dampened by half.
Li Yuan put down the pipa with an unhappy look on his face, asked the dancer to step aside, and hummed: "If you don't serve as your prison prince in the Tai Chi Hall, why are you here here with me?"
Li Yuanji smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I have good news to report to my father!"
Li Yuan said nonchalantly: "What good news? Could it be that Miao Yan gave birth to a baby ahead of schedule and gave birth to a baby boy?"
Now, in Li Yuan's heart, the best good news is probably this.
As long as Yang Miaoyan can give birth to a boy and survive, then Li Yuanji will have a successor.
Then he can safely leave everything to Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji smiled and ordered: "Send it up!"
Li Shentong and Liu Jun each appeared in the hall holding a box.
Li Yuan was stunned at first. After his eyes wandered around Li Shentong and Liu Jun, he saw the box in Li Shentong's hand clearly at a glance, and then he couldn't move his eyes away.
The beauty lying next to him was pushed aside by him, and she quickly ran towards Li Shentong with bare feet.
When Li Shentong came closer and saw the whole box clearly, he didn't dare to step forward.
Then he asked excitedly and unbelievably: "Is... is it true?"
Li Shentong nodded heavily, looking equally excited.
Li Yuanqiang swallowed, wiped his hands on his clothes subconsciously, moved step by step in front of Li Shentong, and stretched out his trembling hand towards the box in Li Shentong's hand.
The moment he placed his hand on the box, he froze in place.
After calming down for several breaths, he began to touch the box with ardent eyes.
"It's this box, it's this box. When I was working as a personal guard next to my uncle, it was placed in this box. After so many years, this box is still there..."
Li Yuan touched the box all over as if touching a rare treasure, and murmured.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "The things in the box are also there..."
As if he had been reminded, Li Yuan quickly opened the box and saw the contents inside the box. His face was instantly filled with ecstasy.
"That's it!
"
Li Yuan screamed in surprise and took the gold inlaid jade out of the box in ecstasy.
Without Li Yuanji's reminder, Li Yuan quickly checked the authenticity of the gold inlaid jade. While checking, he laughed uncontrollably with ecstasy and said: "It's true! It's true! My uncle gave it to me back then.
, exactly the same, exactly the same!”
"hahahahahahahaha!"
Li Yuan held Jin Xiangyu tightly and laughed wildly: "I never dreamed that one day I would be able to get it and own it!"
Li Yuanji, Li Shentong, Liu Jun and others were also laughing.
But no one said congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint or anything like that.
Because the person in power of the Tang Dynasty is no longer Li Yuan.
I just showed this thing to Li Yuan and told him good news. Li Yuan would have to hand it over later.
"I have been ordered by Heaven! From then on, I, the Tang Dynasty, have been ordered by Heaven! I think that person dares to talk about my Li family's bloodline!"
Li Yuan held Jin Xiangyu and didn't want to let go. He wished he could melt Jin Xiangyu into his own flesh and blood.
Li Yuanji took the opportunity to say: "This thing was found by Li Jing, An Xinggui, Ma Sanbao and others. How about my father take advantage of the situation and write a few letters to reward them?"
Li Yuan was stunned, thought about it for a moment, and felt that this proposal was good, very good.
This thing was found by Datang, no one else would know about it.
If you can take the opportunity to write a few edicts and announce them, everyone in the world will immediately know that Datang has found it.
It can also shock many people's jaws.
"Okay, okay, it's up to you, Liu Jun, you are a dog, don't you have yellow silk and pen and ink?"
Li Yuan laughed and ordered Liu Jun to serve him with pen and ink.
Liu Jun had served Li Yuan for several years and was already familiar with the process of writing imperial edicts, so he quickly prepared things for Li Yuan to write imperial edicts.
While Li Yuan picked up the pen, he asked Li Yuanji with a bright smile, "How do you think they should be rewarded?"
Li Yuanji had already prepared the manuscript and said with a smile: "Li Jing is the first meritorious service. He was promoted to the Duke of Wei. He added 500 households, a pair of axes, a pair of golden melons, a pair of screen wings, a drum band, and was promoted to the inspection school.
Minister of the Ministry of War.
The title of Anxing has come to an end, so I will add 300 households, a pair of axes, a pair of screen wings, a drum troupe, and be promoted to the governor of Liangzhou and the general of You Xiaowei.
】
Yin's son An Yuan, General Shou Ningyuan, was appointed as Daizhou Biejia.
Liangzhou was entrusted with the temporary management of affairs by his younger brother An Xiuren.
As for Ma Sanbao, he will be promoted to the Duke of Xinping County, add two hundred households, add a drum band, be promoted to General Qian Niuwei, and be appointed as the Chief Shi of Princess Pingyang's Mansion."
The title of the Chief of Princess Pingyang's Palace sounds very strange, but the rank is very high, equivalent to the Prince's Palace Chief Shi, ranking from the fourth rank.
Ma Sanbao was very loyal to Li Xiuning and would stay by Li Xiuning's side no matter what. This official position was the most suitable for him.
