After Ji Kai put this jade into the storage ring, he rinsed all the impurities on the ground with hot water, and then began to take a bath.

After wiping the water stains on his body with a bath towel, Ji Kai suddenly thought of something. After getting dressed, take out a cleaner towel from the bathroom and walk to the bed.

I was about to take something out of the storage ring, when I suddenly saw that the windows were not closed, how could this work? I quickly stepped forward and closed the curtains and turned on all the lights.

Spread the towel on the bed and take out the two pieces of jade. No, to be precise, it should be called a jade seal!

Looking at the two jade seals of the same size, Jika smiled. I can't imagine the stories buried in the long river of history, and it's impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood. However, it's okay to give away a fake jade seal, and you can still leave a real jade seal.

Ji Kai used the edge of the towel to carefully wipe the jade seal inlaid with gold. This jade seal is engraved with the pattern of double dragons playing with pearls on all sides, there are three sharp wavy lines at the bottom, the shoulder is engraved with the words "Great Wei Shou Han Chuan Guo Xi", and the right side is engraved with the words "Heavenly Mandate Shishi", with a radius of four inches, on the New York hand over five dragons, turn over the front is to use a small seal to engrave the "Ordered by the Heaven and Shou Yongchang" eight characters.

If anyone who knows history sees this jade seal, they will definitely exclaim "the jade seal of the country"!

Yes, this is the legendary jade seal, after several dynasties, the Queen Mother of the Western Han Dynasty broke a horn, and later made up with gold; and Cao Pi made people engrave the word "Great Wei by the Han Dynasty to pass on the national seal" on the shoulder of the national seal, in order to prove that it is not a "usurpation of the Han Dynasty"; to the Later Zhao Shi to destroy the former Zhao, get the seal. More ingenious, on the right side of the engraved "Mandate of Heaven".

It is said that these evidences add up, as long as there is an archaeologist or antique expert or the like, this must be in line with the age of the time, but unfortunately, this heirloom jade seal is actually a counterfeit.

Of course, this is a fake, but it has been used seriously by the emperors of many dynasties, and no one has ever doubted that this is not true. I'm afraid that in the whole world, only Ji Kai, a person with language skills, can find the truth of the matter from the long river of history.

Let's start at the beginning.

At the beginning, Han Gaozu entered Xianyang to the top, and the prince of Qin descended to Yidao and presented the seal of the first emperor. And Gaozu Zhu Xiang book, that is, the Son of Heaven, because of the imperial service of its seal, passed down from generation to generation, called the Han Dynasty national seal, to the son of the son has not been established, the seal Zang Changle Palace. and recklessly ascended the throne, please seal, the queen mother refused to grant recklessness. Reckless envoy Anyang Hou Shun pointed out. Shun Su is cautious, and the Queen Mother loves to believe it. Shun saw that the queen mother knew that he was reckless and begged for a seal, and scolded angrily: "And it belongs to the father and son clan Menghan family power, rich and noble, there is no way to repay, and he is sent by others, and when it is convenient, he will seize his country and no longer care about kindness and righteousness." If you take Jin Kui Fu as the new emperor and change the Zhengshuo service system, you should also change it as a seal, and pass it on for eternity, why use this unknown seal of the dead country, and want to ask for it? Shun also couldn't stop being sad, and for a long time he looked up to the queen mother: "The ministers have nothing to say." Reckless will want to get the national seal, the queen mother would rather not be with evil in the end!" The queen mother heard Shun's words, fearing that she would be reckless, but out of the Han Dynasty to pass on the national seal, and threw herself into the land to grant Shun, saying: "I am old and dead, such as brothers, and the clan is destroyed!" - "Hanshu Yuan Hou Biography".

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, a relative, usurped power, and his son Liu Ying was young, and the seal was hidden in the Empress Dowager of Changle Palace. Wang Mang sent his cousin Wang Shun to ask for it, and the queen mother was angry and scolded him, and threw the seal on the ground, breaking a corner of it. Wang Mang ordered the craftsmen to make up for it with gold.

This is what history has recorded, but what historians don't know. Back then, the jade seal of the country was indeed hidden in the hands of the Queen Mother of Changle Palace, but the Queen Mother also knew that she was not capable of keeping this jade seal.

So after getting the jade seal, the queen mother secretly found her third uncle, the queen mother's third uncle was originally a jade carver, the craft is very good, because of the queen mother's kinship, the jade needed in the palace at that time will ask him to make it.

The Queen Mother said to the third uncle:

"Now Wang Mang usurped power, the royal family of the Han Dynasty declined, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep the jade seal handed down by my ancestors, and I asked the third uncle to help copy an identical jade seal. ”

Because the third uncle was taken care of by the queen mother all the year round in the palace, he was very grateful, so he found a similar jade according to the material size of the jade seal, remade it according to the appearance of the original jade seal, and deliberately processed the old one.

When the Queen Mother saw the two jade seals appear in front of her, she couldn't tell which one was true and which one was fake, and she could only tell it when she held the jade seal.

As for the reason, it's simple. The true jade seal seems to have a strange energy, when held in the hand, you can feel a reassuring energy emitting from it, while the fake one does not.

The Queen Mother looked very happy on the surface, and she also gave the third uncle a reward for the imperial wine. The third uncle finally stayed up all night to make the jade seal in secret, and without thinking too much, he drank the imperial wine given by the queen mother.

Sending away the drunken third uncle, the queen mother asked her henchman eunuch to follow the third uncle back to the room, and within an hour, the third uncle fell asleep completely and could not wake up again.

It turned out that the Queen Mother was worried that the third uncle would tell the secret, so she had already prepared the poison, and when the third uncle offered the jade seal and let him drink it, no one would know the secret.

Sure enough, within two days, Wang Mang sent his cousin Wang Shun to ask for the jade seal, and the queen mother pretended to be afraid of being killed by Wang Mang, so she took out the fake jade seal and threw it on the ground, causing the corner of the jade seal to crack, and later Wang Mang asked the craftsman to inlay it with gold.

After Wang Mang got the jade seal, the queen mother was worried that one day someone would find that there was still a jade seal left in the palace, so she sent the confidant eunuch to put the real jade seal in the coffin of the third uncle in the name of burying the third uncle, and prepared to send it to the Qinling Mountains for burial. Later, after the orthodoxy of the Han family is restored, the jade seal will be retrieved.

But when the confidant eunuch saw that the Queen Mother didn't even let her third uncle know the secret, she was also worried that she would be persecuted when she returned. Finally, on the way to send the coffin to Qinling, I saw the boulder, and I made a decision in my heart, taking advantage of the convenience of walking away, I dug a pit under the boulder, put a wooden box containing a real jade seal in it, and pressed it with a large stone, and then filled it with soil, and carved a few traces on the boulder of the digging pit for future search.

After burying the third uncle, the confidant eunuch originally wanted to leave, but unfortunately he was old and old and met a group of wolves in the mountains and forests, and then there was no follow-up.

When the queen mother saw that her henchman eunuch did not come back, she did not dare to look for it, nor did she dare to say that she had lost the jade seal, so she always thought that the piece in Wang Mang's hand was true. Until the death of the Queen Mother, this matter was not exposed.
