It is said that the Imperial Jade Seal was engraved by Li Si, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, on the order of the First Emperor, using He's jade. It is the only certificate of orthodox emperors in China.
After the Qin Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties regarded this seal as a talisman and regarded it as a rare treasure and an important weapon of the country.
If you get it, you will be "accepted by heaven", if you lose it, you will be "exhausted".
Anyone who reaches a high position without this seal is ridiculed as a "blank slate emperor" and is despised by the world.
The words engraved on the seal are "Ordered by Heaven, and you will live forever", which is not only the dream of every emperor, but also the treasure that every man dreams of.
Anyway, Jia Liu dreamed of getting this imperial seal. Otherwise, how could he prove his destiny and orthodoxy of the Jia family to the Qing Dynasty?
The jade seal Shuan Zhu found from the well in the governor's back room conformed to the basic characteristics of the jade seal, both in terms of jade quality and overall image.
At that time, it was said that the imperial seal disappeared in Luoyang, but this object appeared in Baoding, Hebei. Of course, there is also a historical story.
Jia Ban is making this up. In order to make the story more authentic and testable, Jia Liu instructed to find a few helpers among the people to write history, and then give each of them a leader.
"Pass the national seal!"
The look of shock on Jia Liu's face was genuine, because making false claims and making claims are two different things.
If he doesn't even believe in himself, how can he be called Lao Yang Xin?
How can everyone believe it?
Excitedly, he took the wet imperial seal from Shuan Zhu's hand, looked at it up and down, left and right, and then wondered: "Why is there a corner of this seal covered with gold?"
"Young master is unaware of something. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, a relative of the family, usurped power and passed down the imperial seal to be hidden in the Empress Dowager's residence in Changle Palace. Wang Mang sent his cousin Wang Shun to retrieve it. The Empress Dowager angrily scolded him and threw the seal to the ground to break a corner of it. Empress Wang Mang ordered craftsmen to
Make up for it with gold”
Shuan Zhu specially zoomed in on the side with the golden angle, mainly for Yang Buzheng to see.
Jia Liu glanced at Lao Yang from the corner of his eye, while pretending to be puzzled: "Why do gold and jade have barbecue marks?"
"Young Master, according to historical records, the last owner of the Imperial Seal was Li Congke, the late Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty. His entire family and the Empress Dowager Cao set themselves on fire at Xuanwu Tower in Luoyang, and the Imperial Seal disappeared."
Shuanzhu turned the seal like an expert and talked eloquently: "Real gold is not afraid of fire. Although jade is not afraid of fire, it will inevitably crack after being burned. Judging from the appearance of this seal, it is basically certain that it is a real seal."
, consistent with historical records.”
Jia Liu couldn't help but nod his head when he heard this, and asked: "What is the explanation for this fate of Shi Shi?"
Shuan Zhu elaborated again, saying that after Zhao Shile destroyed the former Zhao, he had to pass the national seal, but the fool of the barbarian was so ingenious that he actually ordered someone to carve the four characters "Shi Mingshi" on the right side of the national seal.
Twenty years later, Ran Wei killed Hu, and the seal fell into the hands of Ran Wei. Later, Ran Wei begged the Eastern Jin Dynasty for help, and Chuan Wei deceived the Jin generals into stealing the seal, and sent it to Jiankang overnight with 300 elite cavalry. From this, Chuan Wei
The national seal returned to the Sima family of the Jin Dynasty.
"So, this jade seal is indeed the imperial seal passed down by the First Emperor?"
Jia Liu's tone could not conceal his excitement.
"Guaranteed replacement if fake!"
Shuan Zhu was very sure that if this piece failed, he could ask Sichuan to make another one.
"I was appointed by God, and I will live forever and never want the imperial seal to reappear in the world a thousand years later. The destiny of heaven is mine, the destiny of heaven is mine."
Jia Liu's hands were trembling, and he wanted someone to engrave the four characters "Jia's family of destiny" on the left side of the seal to compete with the Hu Shi family.
He follows the policy of coexistence of development and usurpation of power, so he must give people the concept that he is the king.
As a high-ranking official who has been in charge of the local government for many years, Lao Yang plays an even more important role in Zhili. Although his loyalty to him has been proven, there is still a little bit left.
What is this point?
It is the subject's self-awareness.
The reappearance of the national seal in the human world is a powerful tool for local officials like Lao Yang to sublimate their thoughts.
Now, as long as Lao Yang trembles and kneels down and calls out, "Your Majesty," he will be able to put it to good use without any worries.
No, Lao Yang's reaction was correct, but he didn't react according to Emperor Jia's wishes.
Instead, Youyou glanced at the two masters and servants who were openly committing fraud, and said sincerely: "Sir, don't do this."
"Um?"
Jia Liu felt disappointed and curled his lips: "Brother Pu Yuan, do you think this destiny has nothing to do with me? If it has nothing to do with me, why can't others get this national seal, but I, Jia Jiashikai, can get it?"
"Regardless of the material, shape, and inscriptions on this jade seal, it is indeed consistent with the description in the historical books,"
What Lao Yang said made Jia Liu feel more at ease, and the question finally came to a "but".
"but what?"
Jia Liu's tone was obviously unhappy. Usually, words ending with "but" basically overturn the previous meaning completely.
I had an intuition that Lao Yang was not loyal enough, so he really wanted to capture him so as not to hinder him from displaying his talents in Zhili.
"If I remember correctly, the imperial seal was carved by Li Si in seal script, but this seal is in regular script."
Lao Yang saw that his consort was unhappy, but his conscience still made him tell the truth.
"Nani?"
Jia Liu's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly grabbed the big seal and turned it up to look at it carefully. He was immediately angry when he saw it: Damn, you are so stupid. The eight big characters are in regular italics that are easy to understand!
The only difference is that it is produced by Founder.
A seductive gaze glanced sharply at Shuan Zhu's face.
"this?"
Shuan Zhu also discovered this fatal mistake and was so frightened that he stood there.
The Governor's Hall fell into silence.
Very embarrassing.
After a while, Jia Liu said: "I knew what the demon said was untrue. How could the imperial seal, which had been missing for thousands of years, be hidden in the well of the Zhili Governor's Yamen? It's ridiculous, it's so ridiculous!"
In anger, he glared at Shuan Zhu angrily a few times, probably scolding him for having a bad idea and asking him to make a fool of himself in front of Lao Yang.
"The heart of an adult is really known to everyone on the road."
Lao Yang finally understood what E Consort'an was thinking. However, he, Asha and Queeni all boarded E Consort's thief ship, intending to kill the thief but unable to save his life.
"Since you know what I'm thinking, why don't you help me?"
Jia Liu threw the fake imperial seal to Shuan Zhu and sat on the governor's seat in a depressed mood.
Old Yang hesitated again and again, but he bravely stepped forward and said respectfully: "The reason why this official pointed out where this seal is fake is because he is afraid that you will be laughed at by the world. If this official knows and does not repay it, then this official will be disrespectful to you."
The adults are not loyal enough”
"A thousand seals are easy to find, but talented people are rare! Pu Yuan can be so honest with me...and with this governor."
Jia Liu stood up slowly and supported Lao Yang who was about to kneel down, "Actually, I knew this seal was fake. Why didn't I tell you? I really wanted to test Pu Yuan. If Brother Pu Yuan agrees with me out of conscience,
, then how can I dare to seek great cause and make progress together with Brother Pu Yuan?"
Jia Liu was very happy that Lao Yang passed this test and told Lao Yang that he planned to go for a walk in a few days and try to visit more than 100 counties in Zhili within half a year.
