The two jade seals look the same, but there are some differences in the details. There are eight characters engraved on the jade seal: "Ordered by heaven, you will live long and prosperous." The jade seal of October last year has a word on the life character.
It seems that a small piece is broken and some parts cannot be connected.
Yun Shang picked up the jade seal on today's memorial again, and found that the word "life" was very smooth, without any defects.
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, and her mind suddenly returned to her hometown. She quickly took out several previous memorials and compared them one by one. Without exception, the horizontal line on the fate character was all broken.
of.
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, waiting coldly for the red seal for a long time, then raised her head and asked: "Is the jade seal fake?"
Luo Qingyan didn't nod or shake his head. He just put the memorial in his hand on the table with a calm expression. His voice was a little hoarse: "Wang Yuanjun and Lin Jingyang were clamoring in front of the meeting hall to see the Supreme Emperor, saying that he had evidence.
It proves that I was the emperor because I murdered the Supreme Emperor."
Yun Shang's throat seemed to be choked, and she didn't even dare to breathe too hard, "Is it the Jade Seal?"
Luo Qingyan nodded, "Because I appointed Zhao Yingjie and Sun Bingzhi as the leading generals, many ministers knelt in front of the Tai Chi Hall. When Wang Yuanjun and Lin Jingyang made such a fuss, everyone saw it."
"I wanted to order people to invite the Supreme Emperor, but Wang Yuanjun made a fuss, saying that the Supreme Emperor was not the Supreme Emperor at all, but someone pretending to be me, and it would make no difference whether he was invited or not. Then he said that I had usurped the throne, but
The real jade seal was not found, so it had to be replaced with a fake one. However, when the emperor came to the throne, for some reasons, he accidentally knocked the real jade seal, and the horizontal line in the middle of the life character was broken.
Lost it." Luo Qingyan frowned, with a bit of coldness in his eyes.
"Then, Wang Yuanjun took out an imperial edict he had received before and asked me to take out the jade seal and compare it to find out."
When Yun Shang heard this, he understood. He was afraid that Luo Qingyan had brought out a memorial that he had just approved, but found something wrong, so he took out all the piles of memorials.
If the jade seal in Luo Qingyan's hand is fake, where is the real jade seal? Why has Xia Huanyu never mentioned this matter? Does Xia Huanyu know about it?
"How did Your Majesty deal with Wang Yuanjun and Lin Jingyang?" Yun Shang asked quickly.
There were so many people there who witnessed this matter. If it was dealt with rashly, it would definitely arouse some suspicion, which would be particularly detrimental to Luo Qingyan.
Yun Shang couldn't help but sneered. Xia Houjing's move to disturb people's hearts was really wonderful. It's just that Xia Houjing was still in Liu Cang and Luo Qingyan's succession happened so suddenly.
He must have not received the news on that day, but why did Wang Yuanjun come so quickly and hold such a powerful handle? Could it be that Xia Houjing knew where the real jade seal was? Could it be that as early as Xia Houjing
When Jing left Jincheng, he had already expected that something like this might happen, so he took the lead in making arrangements.
But if this is the case, then Xia Houjing's thoughts are really too powerful, so powerful that Yun Shang also feels that they are a little unpredictable.
"I didn't pay any attention to his troublesome memorial, and directly ordered someone to tie him up. Chang'er, don't forget, I am the emperor now, and the throne was passed to the Supreme Emperor in the Taiji Palace, in front of all the civil and military officials.
It's okay, he slandered me like this, why can't I just tie him up?" Luo Qingyan raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
Yun Shang was a little surprised, "Your Majesty didn't bring anything out for comparison?"
Luo Qingyan raised his eyes and looked at Yun Shang: "Why did I fall into his trap? When he said those words, I already understood that he must have come prepared, and most of what he said was
Really, if I were to prove my innocence on the spot and take things for comparison, wouldn't I be digging a hole and burying myself? Moreover, I just succeeded to the throne yesterday, and some memorials were approved, but they need to be issued.
It has not been distributed yet. After all, he is a little impatient. If it had been half a day later, I might have distributed the approved brochure. Then he would have physical evidence and I would be truly speechless.
Word."
Yun Shang had to secretly praise Luo Qingyan's thoughtfulness in her heart, but this was not a solution after all. Luo Qingyan could not suppress all the memorials and not publish them, as that would be more likely to arouse suspicion.
"Has your Majesty asked the Supreme Emperor what's going on?" Yun Shang asked quickly.
Luo Qingyan nodded lightly and was silent for a moment before saying, "He said that the jade seal was stolen."
Yun Shang's eyes widened with obvious disbelief. How could something as important as a jade seal be stolen? How could this be possible?
"You don't believe it, right?" Luo Qingyan glanced at Yun Shang, then stood up, walked to the window with her hands behind her back, opened the window and looked out, "I heard him say that before
At that time, I also felt that this matter was really ridiculous."
Luo Qingyan looked steadily at the leaves swaying due to the wind outside the window, and his voice was a little softer, "However, he said that the real jade seal cannot be regarded as stolen, but that he bought it thirty years ago
When I won this throne, I had never obtained it."
"What does this mean?" Yun Shang was confused for a moment, "What does it mean that the jade seal was stolen? And the real jade seal was never obtained thirty years ago."
Luo Qingyan turned around, walked to the soft couch and sat down, and then told Yun Shang the story of the past in detail: "Thirty years ago, the Supreme Emperor killed the late Emperor with poison, and then sent people to kill the Prince and others.
After all the princes were shot to death with random arrows, he seized the throne. After he seized the throne, he did not find the jade seal hidden by the late emperor. Without the jade seal, all the excuses he had prepared could not be used, and he did not have many soldiers and horses.
, and there was no guarantee of complete victory to completely overthrow the Xia Dynasty and create a new dynasty. Therefore, he could only think of one way, which was not a way."
"The Supreme Emperor asked someone to forge a jade seal?" Yun Shang's eyes widened with astonishment.
Luo Qingyan nodded lightly, "Yes, he asked someone to forge a jade seal, but due to the negligence of the craftsman, the horizontal line in the middle of the life character was broken. But it was too late, so he had to find it.
He made an excuse, saying that the late emperor and the prince had gone away, and he was so sad that he accidentally broke the jade seal."
"Such an excuse actually sounds very funny, but because the Supreme Emperor dared to poison the late Emperor and shoot all the princes, he was ruthless, and he was the only one left among the princes, so most of the officials in the court were
I didn't dare to expose it rashly, so I had to accept this statement silently."
Luo Qingyan paused again before saying: "However, not long ago, the fake jade seal was stolen. The Supreme Emperor did not say anything, so he had to order someone to carve a new one. The Supreme Emperor also did not expect that,
It was discovered so quickly. I don’t know whether it was the craftsmen who leaked the news, or whether Wang Yuanjun knew who stole the jade seal, but Wang Yuanjun must be an insider."
Yun Shang frowned and said, "Then, Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Luo Qingyan sighed and said softly: "What should I do? I can only have someone re-engrav the life character on this jade seal as it was before. It's not terrible if it's fake. Even if it's fake, as long as it's fake
If a hundred people say it is true, then it is true."
Yun Shang still has some worries, "But what if the stolen jade seal is taken out again and the one in your Majesty's hand is found to be fake? What should we do?"
Luo Qingyan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Wang Yuanjun should pray that Xia Houjing will not let him sing like this. If he does sing like this, then I will definitely put the person who engraved the jade seal privately on him."
Go to the head. When the time comes, it will be the crime of annihilating the nine tribes."
When Yun Shang heard this, she raised her eyes and looked at Luo Qingyan. She saw Luo Qingyan pursed her lips lightly, with a bit of coldness on her face, but her eyes were calm. Luo Qingyan must have something.
After thinking about something, I felt a little relieved.
Luo Qingyan is right, even if it is false, as long as a hundred people say it is true, then it is true.
Luo Qingyan called someone over and took all the memorials back. Then he sighed and went back to the soft couch to lie down. "Before, I always felt that the dragon chair symbolized the supreme power. I want to
I settled on it. Now I actually sit on it, but I find that that chair is probably the most unstable chair in the world."
Yun Shang gently stretched out her hand, shook Luo Qingyan's hand, and then said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, these messy things will always pass."
Luo Qingyan nodded and closed his eyes.
Yun Shang saw that he looked a little tired, so she stopped disturbing him and just took a book and sat on the sofa to read.
The sky gradually darkened, and Luo Qingyan woke up, blinked, looked at the sky outside the window, and then sat up, "Why did you just let me fall asleep like this?"
Yun Shang smiled and said: "The jade seal hasn't been finished yet, and the seals can't be dealt with. Let's take a rest. What does it matter?"
Luo Qingyan also smiled and stood up, "I don't know what the situation is at Liu Cang's side now. The song Wang Yuanjun sang today must have been instructed by Xia Houjing. He didn't know it before.
Knowing that I would ascend the throne so soon, but having already arranged this matter, I always felt that I seemed to have underestimated him. How could such a cunning person be easily fooled?"
Luo Qingyan's thoughts coincided with Yun Shang's. Yun Shang was silent for a moment and then said: "I just suddenly had a very bold idea flash in my mind..."
Luo Qingyan turned his head and looked at Yun Shang. Yun Shang bit his lip before raising his eyes: "Your Majesty, could it be that Xia Houjing never went to Liucang at all and was always in Jincheng?"
