Chapter 171 The Mystery of the Gold-Inlaid Jade Seal (Part 2)
"Thank you for coming from all over to help me identify things. Some of the masters came from far away places such as the capital. It's really an honor!"
The man with the shocking scars on his face said loudly: "You are all old friends that my father and I trust very much, so there is no need to go into details about some things. Everyone must be psychologically aware of it! But considering that we need to ask everyone to identify
The things are extraordinary and need to be kept highly confidential, so I ask you to sign a document before the things are displayed. It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just to remind each other in case someone accidentally leaks it!”
"It's okay! This is what it should be!" Everyone nodded in agreement, and no one had any objections.
So two people came with confidential documents and asked everyone to sign them. He Qing was no exception. He also signed his name on it, but before signing, he read the document carefully, and the other party also did it in detail.
After explaining, seeing that there was nothing wrong with the content, I established a written document.
"It's so serious, as if it's a first-class national treasure!" After signing, He Qing secretly thought with some disdain.
Because before others saw the "true face" of the treasure, He Qing had already seen what he wanted to see through his eyesight. Not only did he see the true face of the thing in Lushan, but he also knew its ins and outs.
So that thing had completely lost its mystery to him, and he basically accompanied Mr. Zheng and Lin Haitao to hang out.
"Thank you everyone for trusting me and cooperating with me." After everyone signed, the man said with satisfaction, "Since everything is fine, let's start appraising this thing. I believe in your eyesight. I think as long as
With the approval of all the masters present, there will definitely be no problem with that thing! After it is completed, I will not let you suffer, and everyone will be rewarded heavily!"
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, but He Qing could see that everyone was coming from far away without stopping. It was definitely not for such a small reward, at least Mr. Zheng was not for this. He just wanted to come and open his eyes, and of course he brought He Qing and Lin Haitao here.
Learn, learn, gain knowledge.
Immediately, I heard the man say loudly: "The thing I am asking everyone to help me see is a seal, but it is not an ordinary seal. The people present are all masters of the antique industry. Naturally, their eyesight is extraordinary. I hope you can see what the thing is like."
You can almost tell the truth at a glance!”
"Seal?!" Someone in the crowd made a surprised sound.
Lin Haitao couldn't help turning his head and looked at He Qing, his eyes full of surprise. But strangely, he found that He Qing's face was leisurely at this moment, as if nothing had happened, as if he had known about this situation for a long time.
of.
"Yes, it's a seal. To be precise, it's a seal carved from jade. It's also inlaid with gold nuggets - a gold-inlaid jade seal!" the man announced while carefully opening the brocade box. You could see what was inside.
There was a square seal placed there. The seal looked antique and was made entirely of white jade, but one corner of the seal was obviously inlaid with gold, making it sparkle.
When the jade seal was revealed, at that moment, everyone screamed in surprise.
Mr. Zheng's expression suddenly changed. It seemed that he also had a big reaction in his heart.
What the man took out turned out to be a jade seal. The jade seal was not an ordinary seal, but a seal used by emperors of all dynasties.
"It's four inches in diameter and has five dragons on it!" The man said loudly, "Everyone has seen it, right? It's this jade seal! Emperors of all dynasties have their own seals. For example, Qianlong, a self-proclaimed expert in ancient jade,
He actually created the "Twenty-Five Seal". However, none of these latecomers can compare with the "National Jade Seal". The "Gold Inlaid Jade Seal" that the world talks about is unparalleled in the world. It has witnessed the ups and downs of the Qin Empire after its unification.
for!"
"'National Jade Seal'?!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, and everyone stared at the jade seal in great amazement.
Even He Qing, who learned the truth first, was surprised, but what surprised him was different from everyone else's.
"'National Jade Seal'?! Isn't that the 'National Jade Seal'?!" He Qing thought to himself, "No, that's not the jade seal made by Qin Shihuang at all!"
He was sure of this. After all, he had a good understanding of history and knew that the "Jade Seal of the Nation" that shocked China and foreign countries was the one made by Qin Shihuang, and not by the descendants of Genghis Khan.
But soon he frowned slightly, as if he thought of something, and said secretly: "That's it! That's how the jade seal must have come from!"
"Brother Qing!" At this moment, Lin Haitao whispered in his ear, "That man said that jade seal is the 'Jade Seal of the Nation'! Oh my god, has anyone found Genghis Khan's tomb?!"
As we all know, the "Jade Seal" made from the priceless Heshi Bi was buried in Genghis Khan's tomb, and many of the so-called "Jade Seals" circulated in the world are just copies. Even the one collected by the National Palace Museum
The "Jade Seal of the Nation" was also imitated by later generations. No one in the modern world has seen what the original looked like. They can only guess based on the documents and classics on hand.
He Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe."
Naturally, he couldn't just make a judgment like that. Those experts hadn't spoken yet. How could he, a pawn, have such qualifications?
"Isn't it possible?! How can it be so easy to find?! The Mongolian grassland is so vast, who can find Genghis Khan's tomb?!" Lin Haitao shook his head vigorously and denied, "The 'Jade Seal of the Nation' is really true.
False, false, true, there are countless versions circulating, some say they have found it, the item is now in Russia, and some say it is in the hands of the Americans, all very unreliable!"
He Qing said: "I am more inclined to believe that the real 'Jade Seal' is indeed in the hands of Genghis Khan, but no one has found it yet, because the location of his tomb has always been an unsolved mystery. As for the one we see now
Whether there is any connection between the Jade Seal and the Imperial Jade Seal is unknown for the time being. Haitao, let’s take a look first and listen to the opinions of the experts. They will definitely be able to explain why.”
Lin Haitao nodded and responded: "Well, that's all. None of us have any evidence to tell whether that thing is true or false, but foreigners are well-informed and they must be able to see the clues."
So the two of them turned around and continued to look at the jade seal with all their concentration.
At this time, the jade seal had been taken out of the box and placed on the table, showing it to everyone in all directions.
Many masters were talking about the so-called "Jade Seal passed down from the country".
"Everyone, this jade seal is very consistent with the historical 'Jade Seal of the Kingdom' in terms of specifications, button style, and text, because I have asked relevant experts to decipher the insect and bird seal characters on it before, and the results show that
, written on it are exactly the eight words "Ordered by Heaven, Live Long and Prosper"! Everyone knows that the imperial seal is a token of ancient Chinese emperors. After Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms and unified China, he obtained the Heshi Bi and carved it into
When the imperial seal was handed down to the country, Prime Minister Li Si was ordered to write on the He family's jade the eight insect-bird seal characters "Ordered by Heaven, both longevity and longevity", and the jade worker Sun Shou carved it on it. It later became a symbol of the orthodoxy of successive dynasties."
The man said in a very excited tone: "This is the 'official seal' that represents the imperial power and announces it to the world! However, I don't have a deep understanding of jade seals, so I would like to ask all my old friends to take a look and see if there are any problems! After all, it is said that the country
There are really too many versions of the jade seal. Some old friends may also know that I have received several fakes before, and I don’t want this to be just one of countless imitations!”
"This is a good thing! Not only are they similar in appearance, but also similar in spirit!" someone agreed.
The man chuckled and said: "I know it's not easy for everyone to draw conclusions now. You'd better take a closer look first. You can come over and take a look, and then tell me the results after you take a closer look! Since I invited you here, don't
If you have something to hide, feel free to raise any objections. As long as you have enough reasons, I welcome and admire you!"
He spoke politely, and after finishing speaking, he asked everyone to approach the jade seal to inspect it.
Mr. Zheng and the others also walked over and took out a magnifying glass to examine the jade seal in detail, but He Qing stood still.
"Brother Qing, let's go and have a look too." Lin Haitao greeted with curiosity, "That thing looks really good, maybe it really is the national seal. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see the legendary one.
NCM!"
He Qing smiled calmly and said: "Haitao, you don't want to follow others' opinions! If something is good, it does not necessarily mean that it is the 'Jade Seal of the Nation'!"
He knew very well that the reason why the owner of that jade seal summoned various appraisal masters to view his "Jade Seal of the Nation" might have some ulterior secrets besides appraisal.
Nowadays, society is all about hype, and speculation in antique stores is nothing new. Hyping up a jade seal that is suspected of being a "jade seal passed down from ancient times" into a real treasure handed down from ancient times is quite tempting.
But maybe things are not what he imagined. This family is not short of money. He just wants to find out so that he can collect them easily.
"Look, there's nothing wrong, let's go!" Lin Haitao laughed.
At that moment, He Qing followed him up and took a closer look at the jade seal.
As soon as He Qing's eyes focused on the jade seal, the red spiritual light emitted from it gathered together, and a trace of it shot into his eyes.
Soon he started to watch the "movie" for the second time, which was about the ins and outs of the jade seal.
The jade seal is indeed the seal of Genghis Khan, but it is not the "jade seal of the country" that has been passed down for thousands of years.
It can be seen from the video records of the scenes that Genghis Khan made many identical jade seals. Later, those jade seals were scattered in multiple tombs. Of course, those were just suspected tombs to prevent tomb robbing, and the real "traditional jade seals" should be
It is hidden in the real tomb of Genghis Khan, but it has not been found yet.
Unfortunately, the man received a replica, but it was a high imitation that was almost as good as the real thing.
This gave Mr. Zheng and the others a problem!
However, He Qing was able to easily solve this mystery, but he didn't need to be in the limelight.
