Luo Ping told everyone that the original owner of the treasure told him that his ancestor was a big official and used to be a local tyrant, but a few decades ago, everyone knew about historical factors and criticism of landlords.

At that time, many of the remaining family properties were cleared. The current treasure was finally hidden and preserved by them.

As he spoke, he opened the wooden box and took out a sign from inside, which looked like it was silver.

"Excuse me, this is a token. Luo Ping said to everyone.

Miss Etiquette took down the silver medal, and the host was just about to speak, ready to let Zhao Tianming perform. After all, it is the last time of the show, and it is time to ask Zhao Tianming to help add some highlights to the show.

However, Old Man Hao has always been eager for the camera, and immediately spoke: "Don't bother, I'll help you take a look." ”

Even Pang Zhonghua couldn't help but want to scold his mother! After the recording of the show ended, he had to talk to the senior management of the auction house, and he needed to communicate further with the program team and make some adjustments to the program.

This show should focus on him.

Zhao Tianming didn't care, let the old man jump up and down, anyway, he was out of the limelight, and he didn't embarrass Jinhe Auction House.

The people in the program team were also a little disgusted with the old man.

Miss Manners hesitated, but still had to send the silver medal to Old Man Hao.

"First of all, I want to correct your statement, you are a waist card, which is a bit different from a token. ”

Tokens often represent power, and when you see an order, you can have some kind of power when you hold a token.

The waist card is the identity symbol worn by the ancient officials every day, which is equivalent to today's pass, and is called the waist card because it is hung on the waist. To put it bluntly, the waist card is actually a bit similar to the current ID card.

Old man Hao looked at it for a while, and explained to everyone: "What we see is a kind of waist card in ancient times, a symbol of identity. It can be seen that the person who gave you this treasure from the young man is indeed an official. ”

It is a sign that the ancient officials tied around the waist to prove their identity, and their names and positions are engraved on it, and they are often used as a pass for entering the palace and for inspection in the barracks, or a token certificate, and can also be used as a decoration, mostly made of wood or copper, and its shape and texture are related to the identity and rank of the official.

The silver waist card is only available to relatively high-ranking officials.

This kind of thing, it is generally believed that it became popular from the Song Dynasty.

"In the early days, the waist badges were mostly made of wood or copper, and their shape and texture were related to the status and rank of officials. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the evolved waist cards, in addition to being used by officials and eunuchs to enter and leave the court as a 'pass', because of the growing popularity of literati as a talisman or a thing to enjoy. The varieties of waist cards are also constantly enriched, and their materials are not only ivory cards, but also rhino horn, jade, copper, wood and other categories also highlight their own characteristics. He told everyone present.

"I've seen a lot of bronze medals, and the slightly more advanced ones are bronze gilt. Some royal relatives and nobles prefer jade plates. Silver waist cards are a little rare. He watched and nagged.

The price of the copper ancient waist card is usually between tens of thousands and more than 100,000 yuan, and the jade depends on what kind of jade. Gold, usually in the hundreds of thousands, or even more than a million.

Looking at the waist card that is less than the size of a palm, there are words on both sides of the front and back, one side records the official position, and the other side records the name of the owner and other information.

"Xu Tailing?Jinyi Wei Qianhu?" Old man Hao was a little confused.

Judging from the style of the waist card, as well as the quality of the material, this is indeed the waist card of the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Wei Qianhu. Xu Tailing's character, he has no impression.

It stands to reason that the position of Jinyi Wei is not low.

According to his understanding, "inspection and arrest" is the special feature of Jinyiwei that distinguishes it from the Praetorian Guards of other dynasties, and the Jinyiwei agency responsible for criminal investigation is the Fusi of the South and North Towns, of which the Fusi of the North Town was added in the fifteenth year of Hongwu and specializes in cases approved by the emperor.

In the first year of Chenghua, the seal of the Fusi of Beizhen was added, and all prisons did not have to be closed to Bai Benwei. The Beizhen Fusi has its own edict and can arrest, torture, and execute on its own without going through the general judiciary.

There are five guards under the Fusi Division of the South and North Towns, and their commanders are called Thousand Households, Hundred Households, General Banner, and Small Banner, and ordinary sergeants are called Captains and Lux.

In other words, above the thousand households, there are still four levels.

"As far as I know, the lowest level of wrestlers and captains use wooden signs, the front is the Jinyi pro-army Gong Wei Division, and the back is the team to which they belong, nameless. Small flags, general flags, try 100 households, 100 households with bronze medals, the shape is slightly different, and it is also nameless. Deputy thousand households, thousands of households, and Zhenfu use silver medals and are famous. Conductor signing, acquaintance, command use gold medal, famous. ”

Old man Hao touched the waist card and continued: "Judging from the style, this is indeed the silver medal used by thousands of households. But Xu Tailing, I really don't know this person, maybe, we can ask the program team to check it now, the characters are very important. ”

The people in the program team immediately began to use the Internet and other tools to quickly search, but they couldn't find a Jinyi Wei Qianhu named Xu Tailing.

"No, the family that sent me is not surnamed Xu. Luo Ping said.

In fact, when he got this treasure, he was also strange, the family kept saying that it was a relic of their ancestors, but the surname was not right!

Jinyiwei, in the Ming Dynasty, was not a very honorable official position.

Since Jinyiwei was under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, other officials in the court could not interfere with them at all, so Jinyiwei could handle major cases involving court officials and submit them directly to the emperor. Therefore, the officials of the DPRK and China are afraid of Jinyiwei.

However, it is recorded in the history books that the common people of Jinyiwei are afraid of tigers, which is actually a bit exaggerated.

The scope of Jinyiwei's torture was only for officials and doctors, so they generally did not interrogate and arrest ordinary people. Ordinary people's criminal and civil cases are handled only through the normal administration of justice.

The reason why Jinyiwei is so smeared is that the officials themselves are afraid of Jinyiwei.

Of course, the Jinyi guards had privileges, which invisibly allowed them to behave arbitrarily and pervert the law, but they were protected by the emperor's barrier, causing chaos in society. Therefore, the death of the Ming Dynasty in the factory guard was one of the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

"That's weird. Old man Hao frowned.

He will observe it very carefully, and the waist card is indeed an object of the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that this waist card is forged?

It's just that Jinyiwei is not an ordinary official position, who is so bold? Dare to forge this kind of waist card, it is almost looking for death! However, this is the only explanation he can come up with.

So, he opened his mouth and concluded: "I guess this waist plate is a forgery." Perhaps, if you want to do something, you need the identity of Jinyiwei, so it is easier to act. ”

I have to say that this old man's imagination is quite rich.

This explanation, many people on the scene agreed, since they couldn't find out Xu Tailing's thousand households, it means that the piece in front of him is fake.
