While the three of them lowered their heads to admire the badges of their respective families, Yong Ming said to Xie Liuyun: "Brother Xie, you can give me your letter now. This is a formal handover."
Xie Liuyun immediately took out the letter from the inner pocket of his coat and handed it to Yong Ming.
After Yong Ming took it, he put the letter in his arms and said: "The badge is made of black iron and will never rust. The pattern on the front is divided into three parts. The outermost circle is the totem of our royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasty, and one of four
Clawed golden dragons circle around.
The middle one is divided into two parts. The upper part is the word 'Yong' written by Emperor Renzong himself, which is cast integrally with the badge.
The lower part is embedded, and the surnames of each family taken out of the envelope are also made by imperial craftsmen according to Emperor Renzong's handwriting. The materials used are 'gold, silver, copper, and bronze'.
At that time, the ancestors left badges, and the surnames of each family were taken out from the badges and distributed to each family. To prevent accidents, a special method was used to hide them in special envelopes, and the usage methods and regulations of this letter were agreed upon.
Once this envelope is activated, it will be the time for each family to return to the Yong family.
Now, I have restored the surnames to their original appearance and re-embedded them into the badge. Check it out for yourselves to see if it fits perfectly?"
Sheng Qingfeng, Shang Baifeng and Huang Hanhan looked at and touched the badge with their hands. They really couldn't tell that their surnames were embedded. The font and strokes matched perfectly and blended into the badge.
"Such skills are truly ingenious!"
Sheng Qingfeng held the badge and praised sincerely.
Huang Hanhan liked it very much, especially when she saw her last name and the word "Yong" together, she felt it was a happy thing.
This girl's thoughts are really different. A seemingly ordinary little thing will make her very concerned.
The reason why Yongming's great-great-grandfather removed the surnames of the "Four Davids" from the badges and gave them to various families for safekeeping was so that they would have a certificate when they returned one day.
No one can tell how long this separation will last and what will happen in the future. Who can guarantee that there will be no surprises?
It has to be said that Yongming's great-great-grandfather had a forward-looking vision, made long-term plans, and made comprehensive and thoughtful preparations to avoid any uncertain factors.
Yong Ming took out each family's tokens from the envelope, restored them to their original state according to the method taught by his ancestors, and re-embedded them into the remaining badges.
While he admired his great-great-grandfather's meticulous intentions, he also lamented the superb skills of the royal craftsmen of the Song Dynasty.
If there is any discrepancy between the strokes of the surname and the blank font on the badge, it means that it is fake and the person coming must be suspicious, which means that the corresponding Ministry of Health must have suffered a disaster, and the token has also fallen into the trap.
adversary.
In fact, this situation was not only what Yong Ming's great-great-grandfather was worried about, but also what he was worried about.
He issued instructions to the "Four Davids" to return, just to take this opportunity to verify the actual situation of each guard, so that if any problems arise in the health department, he can make corresponding preparations.
As the bodyguards personally selected by Emperor Renzong, these loyal and brave men followed the Yong family through ups and downs. No matter in good times or later dormant and adverse times, they never turned their backs on their masters and sought glory. Therefore, any loss in the Ministry of Health would be a serious blow to the Yong family.
unacceptable.
Before the various health ministries returned, Yong Ming made up his mind. Once he found out that there was a problem with any company, he would investigate it thoroughly and would not give up until he avenged them.
Yong Ming continued to preach to them: "The back of the badge has different patterns. The outer circle is the totem of my Yong family, 'Qiu Zhi Long Cypress'. There are two trees in total, which symbolizes that the Yong family came from the Zhao family and his identity is Renzong."
The second prince. The patterns in the middle are the totems of each guard, namely 'Flowing Spring, Green Ox, White Crane and Han Yan'."
Xie Liuyun approached Sheng Qingfeng beside him and looked at the badge in his hand. On the back of the badge was a pattern of a big green cow. The cow's head was held high, the front two hooves were arched, and the back two hooves were straightened.
The whole body is pushing forward hard, the image is lifelike and lifelike.
Xie Liuyun reached for the badge and looked at it repeatedly, thinking that this badge was really cleverly designed. The front was decorated with dragon patterns and the back was decorated with dragon and cypress patterns, which coincided with the fact that the Yong family was born in an imperial family and was the invisible true dragon emperor.
The person who designed this badge was probably well aware of the situation at that time, otherwise how could it be so realistic and profound?
"These four badges were ordered by Emperor Renzong and designed by Fan Zhongyan, including the three 'ace cards' representing the highest power of the 'Yongwang Guard'. They were all made by the joint efforts of the emperor and his ministers. They can be said to be a perfect match throughout the ages."
Yong Ming continued to introduce the situation about badges and even tokens, which made Xie Liuyun even more emotional.
Shang Baifeng asked in surprise: "Ming Gong, I have a question, do the 'King' and 'Wei' families have subordinates and separate tokens?"
Yong Ming laughed when he heard this and said: "You have asked a good question. This is a major matter for 'Yong Wang Wei'. It must be explained clearly, stipulated and established by regulations."
Huang Hanhan asked: "Brother Ming, do the two families have their own subordinate badges?"
Yong Ming looked at her and deliberately teased: "How about you tell me how to decide this matter?"
"They should also have it, but their power and status cannot be compared with our 'Four Davids'."
Yong Ming looked at the other three people and asked, "How about you tell me what you think about this matter?"
Xie Liuyun first expressed his opinion, "They have subordinates. Ming Gong has said this before, but I think it is unlikely that they have a special token badge issued by the imperial court. Otherwise, it would be just a matter of political affairs.
Have you traveled to many places?"
Yong Ming did not express his position, but motioned to Sheng Qingfeng and Monk Baifeng to express his opinions.
This topic was brought up by Shang Baifeng. Without thinking about it, he encouraged Sheng Qingfeng to talk first.
"I think what Xiao Huang said may be right and in line with the actual situation."
When Shang Baifeng saw that Sheng Qingfeng had finished expressing his opinions in one sentence, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Brother Shengda, you can end the problem with just one sentence. I'm not even prepared."
Hearing this, Sheng Qingfeng couldn't help but shake his head and said with a smile: "You haven't thought about what to say! You're still making excuses for yourself, you little slippery man."
Shang Baifeng was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Yeah! I didn't think about this question. If I express my own opinion, it's just like guessing!"
Xie Liuyun comforted him and said: "If you don't know the result in advance, but you make judgments based on your own analysis and predict the outcome of the problem, isn't it just guessing! Mr. Ming, let us think about this problem with a liberal mind, so you don't have to feel any pressure.
, just say whatever you think!"
Shang Baifeng thought for a while and said: "It is impossible for the subordinates of their two families to hold separate tokens or badges. After all, they are also subordinates of the Yong family. How can there be two masters in one family?"
