Lu Fei yelled like crazy when he saw the furnace door. Gao Yuan knew Lu Fei best. Lu Fei lost his temper like this. This furnace door was definitely unusual.
After finding the tools, the two brothers worked together for more than ten minutes, ignoring the hot hands and the smoke and dust, and then carefully took down the stove door.
Holding the hot stove door in both hands, he came outside the wooden shed and took a closer look. Lu Fei's heart was bleeding.
This furnace door is an arc-shaped iron plate, just over thirty centimeters high, fifty centimeters long, and about three millimeters thick.
On the outer arc of the iron plate are engraved several lines of characters in seal script. Unfortunately, more than half of the characters have been polished off, and the surviving characters are less than one-fifth of the original ones. .??.??
"XXXXXXXXXXXX."
This line is obviously engraved with the date, but unfortunately four holes have been drilled into the most critical part and disappeared. The remaining "year" and "eighteen" are completely meaningless.
A large area next to the date was polished into a flat plate by a grinding wheel. Lu Fei almost cried as he stroked the smooth surface.
Fortunately, the second half has been preserved, and I can finally see a few complete lines of font.
"Your Majesty will forgive you nine deaths, your descendants will die three times, or you will be punished with regular punishment. No additional punishment will be imposed by the judge."
"Qing" means minister. The explanation of this sentence is that no matter what mistakes I make, as long as I don't commit rebellion and rebel, I will spare your life nine times.
If the descendants of your beloved commit a crime, they will be forgiven three times and not die.
There is another sentence behind it.
"The Jin Dynasty has been passed down for eternity, and this certificate has been issued by the imperial edict together."
The meaning of this sentence is that as long as the Jin Dynasty exists for one day, this iron coupon will be effective for one day, and it will never be invalidated if it is passed down from generation to generation.
It's obvious when you see this.
This is not a furnace door, this is a fucking iron certificate, which is the Jin Dynasty's edict to avoid death.
Iron coupons are a kind of certificate with the nature of reward and covenant given by the emperor in the era of China's autocratic monarchy to heroes and important ministers.
Similar to the medals that are popular in modern times, it is a special certificate that allows generations to enjoy preferential treatment and avoid death penalty. It is also called death penalty. Voucher.
Because the emperor's power is supreme and the imperial edict is the law, the iron certificate also has special legal effect.
The letters on the "iron coupons" were originally written with red sand, and were collectively called "Dan Shu Iron Deeds", also known as "Dan Shu Iron Coupons".
In the Liang Dynasty, the characters were filled with silver characters, which was called "silver coupons".
In the Sui Dynasty, gold was used to fill in characters, which was also called "gold coupons" and "gold books". Therefore, later generations called "iron coupons" "gold books and iron coupons", and because "iron coupons" could be passed down from generation to generation, they were also called "iron coupons".
"World Voucher".
The iron coupon in front of Lu Fei was completely blackened by smoke and dust, and all the coloring and paste were completely gone.
If you want to say what this is, it can only be regarded as a smoking coupon.
Hold!
The more Lu Fei thought about it, the angrier he became.
People who have read "Water Margin" know that Xiao Xuanfeng, the one hundred and eight generals in Liangshanbo, had a hereditary iron certificate of alchemy in his home, which is what it refers to.
Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, "dressed in yellow robes" and obtained the throne from the Chai family of the Later Zhou Dynasty. In order to appease the people, he issued an order to treat the descendants of the Chai family favorably and gave the Chai family "iron certificates of alchemy". Even if the descendants of the Chai family commit crimes, they will not be punished.
This is not an unfounded claim by the author. The iron certificate of the Chai family's alchemy book was indeed a gift from Zhao Kuangyin.
And Lu Fei's iron certificate is from the Jin Dynasty, much earlier than the Chai family's.
Looking back at the history of the Jin Dynasty, there was only one person who obtained the iron certificate, and that was Zhu Xu, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Zhu Xu, courtesy name Cilun, was a native of the Ping family in Yiyang, a famous general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a lieutenant in the Western Barbarians, and the son of Zhu Tao, the governor of Yizhou.
Zhu Xu was born as a general, and later moved to General Yingyang and became Prime Minister of Jiangxia.
In the first year of Taihe (366), he quelled Sima Xun's rebellion. Due to his meritorious service, he was promoted to General of the Conquest and was granted the title of Kaiguozi of Xiangping County.
In the fourth year of Taihe, Zhu Xu led his troops to defeat the former Yan general Fu Mobo.
In the second year of Ningkang, Zhu Xu was transferred to Yanzhou governor.
At that time, Qian Hong, a native of Changcheng County, Wuxing County, gathered a crowd to cause a rebellion. The imperial court appointed Zhu Xu as Sima of the Chinese Army and Prefect of Wuxing to quell the rebellion.
In the second year of Taiyuan, Zhu Xu served as the general of Nanzhong Lang and the governor of Liangzhou, guarding Xiangyang.
Three years ago in Taiyuan, Qin attacked Xiangyang, and Zhu Xu led his army to defend it.
Four years ago in Taiyuan, when Qin conquered Xiangyang, Zhu Xu pretended to surrender, and Fu Jian thought he was going to save the minister.
In the Battle of Feishui in the eighth year of Taiyuan, Zhu Xu secretly helped the Jin army, defeated the former Qin Dynasty, and returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He successively served as General Longxiang, internal history of Langxie, and governor of Yuzhou, etc., and stationed troops in Luoyang.
In the eleventh year of Taiyuan, Zhu Xu sent troops to attack Zhai Liao, the leader of Ding Ling who rebelled against the Jin Dynasty. He successively served as the governor of the two states of Yanqing, the commander-in-chief of the military affairs of the four states of Yongliang and Qin, and the governor of Yongzhou.
In the fifteenth year of Taiyuan, he defeated Zhai Liao and defeated Emperor Murong Yong of Xiyan.
It can be said that Zhu Xu made great achievements in battle throughout his life and died serving the imperial court.
He suffered countless injuries in battles throughout his life, and even in his fifties, he was plagued by chronic illnesses and suffered in great pain.
In the seventeenth year of Taiyuan, Zhu Xu asked the court to bid farewell and return to his hometown.
Emperor Xiaowu, Sima Yao, lamented Zhu Xu's meritorious service, and imitated the ancient Ming emperors in giving Zhu Xu an Iron Coupon of Nine Deaths as a reward.
Unfortunately, Zhu Xu passed away the second year after returning to his hometown.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty also collapsed thirty years later.
This legendary iron coupon was never used even once until the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Since the establishment of iron coupons by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, documents over the past thousand years have recorded that the total number of iron coupons given by emperors to ministers did not exceed fifteen yuan.
At present, only the National Museum in the world has a piece of gold awarded by Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty. Qian Liu's golden book and iron certificate.
That piece of gold book and iron coupon is similar in shape to this smoked iron coupon. It weighs one hundred and thirty-two taels and has a total of three hundred and thirty-three words in the book. It is a national treasure of China and will never leave the country.
If the smoked iron coupon that Emperor Xiaowu rewarded Zhu Xu had been preserved intact, it would be much more powerful than the gold book and iron coupon of Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty.
It's a pity that he is disabled.
The entire piece of iron coupon has been extensively polished by a grinding wheel, and there are four round holes in the left corner. A large hinge was previously fixed with rivets to serve as a stove door for the firewood pot.
Hold!
If Kong Fanlong found out about using the treasure of the country as a kitchen door, he would have his hair cut off on the spot.
This is such a fucking waste of resources, what a shame.
Lu Fei collapsed on the ground and stroked the smoky iron coupons in his arms, feeling so distressed that he almost cried.
Seeing Lu Fei like this, most people would not dare to try to persuade him, not even Chen Xiang.
At this time, only big brother Gao Yuan came forward.
Gao Yuan lit a cigarette and stuffed it into Lu Fei's mouth and asked.
"Brother, is this the legendary Iron Book of Alchemy?"
Lu Fei nodded mechanically and said frustratedly.
"It must be an iron certificate, an iron certificate given to General Zhu Xu by Emperor Xiaowu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Yao."
"Because the filling is damaged, it's hard to see what kind of iron coupon it is."
"Can this thing be repaired?"
Lu Fei shook his head and said.
"It can't be repaired. If it's destroyed, it's destroyed. The second iron bond in China, the iron bond of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is ruined like this. It's such a damn pity."
"This is life!"
Gao Yuan patted Lu Fei on the shoulder and said.
"You're right, this is life."
"Although most of it was ruined, he was lucky enough to meet you. It's not a big deal if he wants to be more liberal."
