As soon as the jade seal that disappeared for hundreds of years appeared, it immediately caused a shock in the Manchu Dynasty, and people from all over the country also began to discuss this matter and popularize the legend of the jade seal of the country to each other.

More than 1,800 years ago (Tianwu Dynasty pushed forward), after Qin Shi Huang destroyed the six countries to unify the world, he was called the emperor and created a jade seal to inherit the country.

After the Qin Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties took this seal as a symbol, and regarded it as a treasure and a valuable weapon of the country, as a certificate of the orthodox emperors of China.

Gain it symbolizes its "order by the sky", and if it is lost, it shows that its "qi has been exhausted", and those who ascend to the throne without this seal are ridiculed as "white emperors", which seems to be lacking in confidence and is despised by the world.

The last time the jade seal of the country appeared in the Later Tang Dynasty, 700 years from the Tianwu Dynasty, the late Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Congkeju and the Empress Dowager Cao set themselves on fire in the Xuanwu Tower in Luoyang, and the jade seal of the country disappeared.

However, as everyone knows, ordinary fires cannot burn jade, and later Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin began to look for the heirloom jade seal.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also looked for it, thinking that the jade seal of the country was in Mengyuan, so he sent Xu Da to go deep into Mobei, chased and beat Beiyuan, and finally returned in vain.

Although Lan Yu later served the Northern Yuan Dynasty in a pot in the fishing area and captured a large number of princes and nobles, the jade seal of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was never found.

In the Chongzhen period, it was rumored that the jade seal was passed to Lin Dan Khan, the last great khan of Mongolia, and after Lin Dan Khan was defeated by the Eight Banners Army, it was in the hands of Huang Taiji.

In the Liaodong War in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Tianwu, who was still the crown prince, led the Ming army to conquer Shengjing, and Li Tingbiao, the Marquis of Zhongwu, found the so-called "jade seal of the country" and handed it to Emperor Tianwu.

After Emperor Tianwu identified it, it was confirmed that it was a fake and faked it on the spot, and it was smashed to pieces.

From this, everyone concluded that the heirloom seal handed down by Meng Yuan was a fake, and the real heirloom jade seal was only lost in the post-Tang Dynasty, and it was still in the Luoyang area!

.......

In just a few days, the heirloom jade seal appeared on Zhu Cihong's dragon case, and he was the first to get started, constantly looking at this legendary jade seal.

I saw that this piece of heirloom jade seal is four inches in circumference, and there are five dragons in New York, the color is as green as blue, warm and luster, and there is really a gold-inlaid corner at the corner.

It is rumored that this was caused by Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, when the jade seal was hidden in the queen mother of Changle Palace, Wang Mang sent his cousin Wang Shun to ask for it, the queen mother scolded it angrily, and threw the seal on the ground, broke its corner, Wang Mang ordered the craftsman to make up for it with gold.

Although it had been preliminarily judged that this thing was real, Zhu Cihong still convened a court meeting and summoned dozens of officials such as the knowledgeable scholars of Wenhuadian University and the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy for identification.

In terms of antique collection, in terms of attainments in classical culture, these bigwigs can pull out one at random, and they are more than the experts of later generations.

Maybe they can't govern the country, but poetry and songs, quoting scriptures, and identifying treasures are their housekeeping skills!

Why do you ask these people for identification?

Because there have been two cases in history, both of which say that the jade seal of the country is in the world, and it is presented to the court by the peasants.

The first time was in the Song Dynasty when Zhezong, a farmer named Duan Yi was plowing the field and found the heirloom jade seal and handed it over to the imperial court.

After the research of thirteen scholars, it is true, but there are more people in the government and the opposition who suspect that it is a fake.

Song Zhezong didn't care about these, not only rewarded the peasants who dug up treasures and offered seals, and the property worth 300,000 yuan in later generations, but also made a petty official, similar to a company-level cadre in later generations. (Wu Wu, banquet Zichen Palace, Gengshen, edict offering treasure Duan Yi for the right class hall straight, give 200 silk horses.) ）

After the reward, Song Zhezong announced to the world that he had a ceremony of receiving the talisman treasure from heaven, saying that he was ordered by the heavens, and he also changed the name of the year to be called Yuan Fu.

In the late Northern Song Dynasty, during the Song Huizong period, the emperor had nothing to do and engraved the seal of ten directions, obviously the treasure emperor identified the heirloom seal as a fake, and deliberately downplayed the status of the heirloom jade seal.

The second appearance of the jade seal was in the period of Ming Xiaozong, that is, the father of Emperor Zhengde and the world's model husband.

In the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, Mao Zhixue, a villager of Zhaolun Village, Dawang Town, Huxian County, Shaanxi Province, dug up a "jade seal of the country" in the mud river, and presented the Hongzhi Emperor by Xiong Yuzhong, the governor of Shaanxi.

Emperor Hongzhi decided that it was a fake and did not adopt it, and did not even reward the villagers surnamed Mao with a root hair.

Now in the Tianwu Dynasty, the same thing happened, it was all found in the mud river, could it be fake?

Many ministers paid great attention to this matter, and they enthusiastically participated in the appraisal, and by the way, they showed off their knowledge and showed their cultural level in front of their colleagues.

The Treasure Appreciation Conference has begun!

In the Fengtian Palace, there is a large square table in the center of the hall, and a group of bigwigs who think they have solid knowledge lie there and begin to appraise, and some officials still wear reading glasses.

Not long after, the Emperor Taishang also hurried over, took out the high-precision reading glasses newly matched for him by his son-in-law Sun Yunqiu, and joined the treasure appreciation conference.

The arrival of the Emperor did not affect the talents of the ministers, and there was no class barrier to the academic exchanges of the Ming Dynasty.

"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity......"

Zhu Jiqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, read a sentence in frustration, and said with great certainty: "These eight seal characters are indeed the handwriting of Qin Prime Minister Li Si, and the official is very familiar with it!" ”

Zhu Jiqi likes to copy hundreds of calligraphy, and has a special study of Li Si's calligraphy, and his words have convinced many ministers.

There are also experts who are good at jade to analyze and comment on the material, and believe that this jade is indeed a rare and high-quality jade.

According to the analysis of the Qin species on the jade seal, the Qin formation time is more than 1,700 years.

Extrapolating the period of Qin Shi Huang to the Great Ming Wu Dynasty, the time is just on the card!

Moreover, this heirloom seal does not have serious pulp, indicating that it has been buried in the soil for a long time.

The jade is born pulp, the older the age, the thicker the pulp, the heirloom jade produces pulp very quickly, there are twenty or thirty years to become visible, the pulp is generated in the soil is very slow, the fastest is more than a hundred years, a lot of jade in the underground will never be pulp.

Listening to the civil officials talking eloquently, Zhu Cihong had to admire, these bigwigs are really awesome!

What is a profession? It's called professionalism!

This jade seal was identified by knowledgeable civil officials, and it was finally confirmed that this jade seal was genuine, and it was the heirloom jade seal of the Qin Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, the jade seal of the country is in the world, it is really gratifying and congratulating, and the whole world celebrates!"

"My emperor, the destiny of heaven, the jade seal, the important weapon of the country, the luck of the world!"

In the Fengtian Palace, the ministers looked at the jade seals of the country on the dragon case, and they all expressed their excitement as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The Emperor Taishang's face was also flushed with excitement, this heirloom jade seal is the emperor's "imperial power, orthodoxy and legitimacy" token.

Although the Ming Dynasty won the most righteous country, it has not obtained the jade seal of the country, and Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has been looking for it all his life, and finally regrets it.

In the stunned eyes of everyone, I saw the Emperor Zhu Youzhen slowly pick up the heirloom jade seal on the dragon case, hold it in his hand and look at it for a while.

"Your Majesty, if you are unified today, the country and the people are safe, and the political achievements are outstanding, the minister suggests that Your Majesty go to Mount Tai to hold a ceremony to seal the Zen, and announce this matter to the world, in order to comfort the people of the world!"

Yang Shicong's voice was very loud, echoing in the hall for a long time.

The Emperor Taishang, who was immersed in excitement, was awakened, and he realized that he was the Emperor, and this matter didn't seem to have much to do with him at present......

He raised his eyes and scanned his surroundings, and sure enough, some of the ministers looked at him with strange eyes.

The Emperor Taishang held the jade seal of the country in both hands, walked to Zhu Cihong's side, handed it over, and said, "It's very heavy, you take it." ”

Zhu Cihong took it with both hands with a smile, and then held this 1,800-year-old antique in the palm of his hand.

In the end, Zhu Cihong raised the jade seal of the country and said with a straight face: "I am a Ming dynasty, Li Min has a long life, and the country's fortune is eternal!" ”

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

The ministers bowed.

Zhu Cihong used to be a staunch atheist, but from the moment he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, his thinking changed completely.

Yang Shicong proposed again, hoping that Zhu Cihong would go to Mount Tai to seal Zen.

Zhu Cihong directly vetoed it, and said: "There is no need for Mount Tai to seal the Zen, the Ministry of Rites will prepare for a while, and I will go to the filial piety tomb of Shenlie Mountain to worship my ancestors!" ”

Since Song Zhenzong Taishan sealed Zen, there is no emperor in Mount Tai to hold a grand ceremony of sealing Zen, the original pot of good soup, but mixed with Song Zhenzong's "cold water" that does not have many dry achievements, seriously lowered the grade of Mount Tai Feng Zen.

Other emperors were disdainful, and Zhu Cihong was even more disdainful.

What is the meaning of Mount Tai Feng Zen? Have the ability to go to the Pacific Ocean to seal Zen!

The news of the appearance of the jade seal spread quickly, but there are many people who don't believe it, because the emperors of all dynasties have worked hard to search for this thing, and every time they take advantage of the prosperity to return home, I am afraid that this time it will be the same.

It wasn't until the imperial court posted a notice that the official announcement of the jade seal of the country was true, and it was the result of careful appraisal by dozens of civil officials, and it was announced that Emperor Tianwu would go to Shenlie Mountain to worship his ancestors in a few days, that the news was completely confirmed.

The sacrifice of filial piety is strictly ritualistic, there is no special event, and you can sacrifice if you don't want to go to the sacrifice.

Filial piety comes first, the emperor will never deliberately run to deceive his ancestors because he fooled the people, and he fell a fake when he was young, there is really no need to fake!

Public opinion broke out again, whether it was Liaodong or Guangdong, the most talked about by people in the north and south of the world was the jade seal of the country.

The emperor and the Ming were unified, and the jade seal of the country, which had disappeared for hundreds of years, happened to appear after the Tianwu Emperor unified the world.

What does this mean? You can know it with your ass!

Among the teahouses and restaurants in various places, storytellers and singers have compiled this matter into stories and praised them widely.

The people think that God favors this world, and a series of new policies of Emperor Tianwu have really benefited the toiling masses.

This is not only the case among the people, but also in the military and officialdom to talk about this matter in private.

The significance of the jade seal is extraordinary, the emperor's destiny returns, there must be great achievements, as long as it is firmly followed, his name may appear in the history books of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, the civil and military officials, and even the big-headed soldiers, strengthened their belief in loyalty and patriotism!

The happiest person in this matter was Wang Daxi, who received the greatest benefit: a reward of 10,000 taels of silver!

These white flowers of silver are so dazzling!

Wang Daxi couldn't help but enshrine the immortal seat of Emperor Wu of the Great Ming Dynasty at home, and knelt down in front of the immortal throne every day and kowtowed to thank him.
