The gold box is placed in the center of the "pavilion" of Hetian blue and white jade. The thing in the center must be more noble, and the Nine Dragons Scepter that is not installed on one side is so rare, so the things in this gold box must be unusual.

Don't look at it as only ten centimeters square, but since it is pure gold, the weight is definitely not light.

Tang Yi held it firmly with both hands, picked it up and put it directly on a relatively flat stone in the cave.

"I mean, there's no going to be any mechanism, right?" Tang Yi stared at the golden box and asked.

"Gold is soft, if there is a mechanism, it has to be an iron box." Wen Jia smiled, "And as far as Zhang Chu Tianshi's methods are concerned, he definitely doesn't bother to set up mechanisms on the box." ”

Tang Yi nodded, didn't think about it anymore, and opened the box directly. To Tang Yi's surprise, although the top cover seemed to be very tightly combined, it was very easy to pull up.

In the gold box, there is something wrapped in dark dragon pattern yellow silk.

"It should be a jade seal!" Tang Yi looked at the shape and said categorically. This yellow silk with dark dragon patterns is not an ordinary thing, except for the emperor, no one dares to use it indiscriminately, and it is mostly used to wrap the emperor's tokens. Combined with the bulging shape, it should be a jade seal.

Untie the yellow silk, and sure enough, it is a jade seal!

The word seal is ostensibly the meaning of seal. But since the Qin Dynasty, there has been a specific designation, that is, the emperor's seal! It's not just a seal that can be called a seal.

Zhang Xianzhong can be regarded as an emperor. Although it is a bit reluctant, it cannot be denied that the emperor has a territory and a year name. In the year when the Qing army entered the customs, Zhang Xianzhong established the Daxi regime in Shudu, and the era name was Dashun.

This jade seal is made of Hetian topaz.

The rarity of Hetian topaz is higher than that of Hetian white jade, and it is not at all. However, many people know one thing about this statement.

This term refers specifically to seeds.

Although the Hetian white jade seed material with good texture is very precious, it is not difficult to see; However, the original Hetian topaz seed material is very rare, especially the best color such as steamed chestnut, which is difficult to see on the market. Occasionally, it is also sky-high.

However, the Hetian topaz used in this jade seal is a mountain material, which is often referred to as the yellow material in the player's mouth.

Compared with the real virgin topaz seed material, in addition to the texture, the biggest problem is that the color is rarely "positive", mostly in the yellow with a slight grass green color, and there are a few that are not green, but it will be a little whitish, a little yellow and white.

The production areas of Huangkou material are also near Hetian, mainly Ruoqiang and the end.

The color of the jade seal of this topaz is not bad, the yellow is relatively strong, but it is inevitable that there is still green. The texture is not to be said, it is extremely delicate and oily.

"Interesting!" Sun Xiaowei looked at the jade seal, "What is this button?" ”

Above the jade seal, there will generally be a button, simply put, it is a nose or handle, and its practical meaning is obvious, but as far as the jade seal is concerned, the symbolic meaning is far greater than the practical meaning.

The jade seal has many dragon buttons, and tiger buttons have also existed. However, as I said before, Li Yuan's grandfather was called Li Hu, and under the avoidance, the Tang Dynasty no longer used tiger girls. After the Tang Dynasty, the jade seal began to be standardized, and it was basically unified into a dragon button, but the system was slightly different, what Panlong, Yunlong and so on.

But this jade seal uses the shape of a tiger body dragon head, squatting with its head held high, and its momentum is extraordinary.

This strange shape looks like a unicorn at first glance, but the tail and hooves of the unicorn are naturally different from the tail and claws of a tiger, so it can be easily recognized as a tiger's body.

Tang Yi said with a smile, "Zhang Xianzhong has a nickname, called Huang Hu, it seems that he is very satisfied. This jade seal uses topaz, and the seal button uses a tiger body, isn't that what it means? But after all, he still has to be a bit of an emperor, and he carved a dragon head, so he can think of it! ”

"This kind of splicing combination has existed since ancient times, isn't the unicorn just a patchwork of various animals?" Gao Taiming said, "Look at the inscription!" ”

This jade seal, to be honest, belongs to the small shape, that is, about eight centimeters square, perhaps at that time, the war was in chaos, and a large piece of beautiful jade could not be found.

Compared with the jade seal, this piece is not very large, compared to ordinary seals, it is much larger, and the four Yangwen small seals are very clear. There wasn't much ink on it, and it had dried up completely. Although it is the opposite word, these words are relatively common, and Tang Yi still recognizes them easily:

Treasure of the King of the West!

"Isn't he all emperors? Why not use the Onishi Treasure, which represents the imperial power of the country? Wen Jia was a little puzzled.

"Ugh." Sun Xiaowei scratched his head, as if he didn't know what to say.

Tang Yi smiled, "The question you asked is very big, we have to get out of here as soon as possible, let me say it briefly." In general, the emperor's jade seal has more than one, and its role is also different. This 'Treasure of the King of the West' is simply the private seal of Zhang Xianzhong, the Emperor of the Great West. As for the 'Treasure of the Great West' you said, you can understand it when you think about it this way, have you ever heard that the Ming Dynasty had the 'Treasure of the Great Ming Dynasty' and the Qing Dynasty had the 'Treasure of the Great Qing Dynasty' jade seal? ”

"As for the representative of the country's imperial power, in fact, there has been a special name since ancient times, called the jade seal of the country." Tang Yi quickened his speech, "There is only one thing, it started with Qin Shi Huang, and it was passed down from hand to hand by the kings of the past dynasties, and it was also the object of competition in the past dynasties!" ”

"Oh!" Wen Jia said, "I know this, isn't it made by He's Bi?" It is known as a radius of four inches, five dragons are buttons, engraved with the eight words of 'ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang', which is said to be written by Li Si. ”

"Yes, this heirloom jade seal, it means that it is 'ordered by the sky' to be the emperor, and if it is gone, it means that the number of qi has been exhausted. Without this heirloom jade seal as the emperor, it is considered not to be the 'true son of heaven'. Tang Yi smiled, "However, it disappeared as early as the Tang and Song dynasties, and those emperors behind should not be in charge?" ”

"It seems that Zhang Xianzhong is very satisfied with the title of King of the West, and when he became the emperor, he was willing to use the title of 'king'." Wen Jia pondered.

Tang Yi re-wrapped the jade seal in dark dragon pattern yellow silk and put it into the gold box, and said quickly, "This 'West King' is indeed not ordinary for Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong once called himself the 'Eight Kings', and once made and printed the 'Eight Kings of Xiying'! There is also a saying that Zhang Xianzhong admires Xiang Yu very much, and Xiang Yu calls himself 'the overlord of Western Chu', this king of the West has the meaning of reference! ”

"All in all, he is more like a fierce general than an emperor!" Sun Xiaowei said.

"Alright." Gao Taiming walked straight to the big box of Jin Sinan's gloomy wood on the right, "Speed up, we'll withdraw immediately after reading it!" ”
