Henan, Luoyang Mansion, Dawang Village.

"In front of the Cisse Mountain, the egret flies."

"Peach blossoms and flowing water, mandarin fish fat."

"Green hat, green coat."

"The slanting wind and drizzle don't have to return, they don't have to return, oh roar!"

In the early morning, the dew on the grass had not yet dropped, and bursts of loud singing wafted along the Yi River.

Fisherman Wang Daxi took his six-year-old son out of the house early in the morning and came to Yihe to open the fish cage he had laid yesterday.

Looking at the fish and shrimp in one net, Wang Daxi was full of joy, and felt more and more that a rich life should not only have good policies, but also rely on his own hands to obtain!

After Emperor Tianwu ascended the throne, he not only abolished miscellaneous taxes, but also exempted Luoyang Mansion from taxes for two years, and the people's lives were getting better day by day.

Wang Daxi relied on the skills of fishing, and his family weaved and sold cloth at home, and built three brick houses for his family within a few years.

Wang Daxi fishes every morning, returns home with a full load, and then goes home to clean up the more than ten acres of land allocated by the government, and then comes to the cage in the evening, drinks a few glasses of wine in the evening, and occasionally hehehehehehe

In the past, Wang Daxi couldn't even think of such a beautiful day, and he couldn't dream of it.

Now it's all happening!

Wang Daxi pushed the boat to the shore and prepared to return with a full load, and he watched his son play by the river, and a sense of pride arose.

Wang Daxi's son is called Wang Guojun, six years old this year, studying in Yihe Primary School, he is smart and has excellent grades, and his husband often praises him as a good seedling for reading.

There is also a fortune teller who keeps saying what this kid is: "How can the golden scales be a thing in the pool, and when the wind and clouds change, the dragon." ”

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Wang Daxi is happy in his heart.

This child is indeed sensible, well-behaved and likable, he is fishing in the river alone, playing in the mud on the river bank and waiting for himself, and when he sees that little appearance, he wants to hug him and bite it hard.

"Guojun, go home with Daddy!" Wang Daxi shouted with a big grin.

Wang Guojun stood up and ran to Wang Daxi's side, and stopped after running for two steps, scratching his head with his little hands covered with mud, as if he was thinking about something, and seemed very hesitant.

Wang Guojun finally walked back, pointed to the muddy ground and said in a milky voice: "Dad, come and see what this is?" ”

Wang Daxi couldn't help but be curious, and when he got closer, he saw a lump of soil in the mud, and one corner of it was slightly glowing green in the sunlight.

Curious, he picked it up casually and rubbed it vigorously, it was very hard!

Wang Daxi walked to the river, soaked the earthen pagoda back and forth in the water a few times, and rubbed off the thick soil on it with his hands.

It turned out to be a jade seal!

Wang Da was overjoyed, this is too big, much bigger than those engraved fake seals in the city!

However, he was illiterate and did not know what these strange characters were written on the seal.

"Anyway, this should be a baby!"

Wang Daxi hid it in a fish basket, and was ready to take time to go to the city to find someone to see if it was real or fake, and maybe it could be sold for a good price.

When he returned to the village, he passed by the Shenming Pavilion, and Wang Daxi saw an old Xiucai posting the imperial court list in the pavilion, and he went to the pavilion to take a look at it out of curiosity.

"Old Zheng, what happened to the imperial court?"

Zheng Lao is a straight old man in Dawang Village who is responsible for managing the Shenming Pavilion, he is old and virtuous, and he is usually responsible for mediating conflicts among villagers and publicizing imperial court decrees.

Zheng Lao carefully brushed the paste and said: "The temples of several celebrities from Luoyang are about to be repaired, and the government requires everyone to worship on time every year. ”

Wang Daxi let out a long sigh, if it weren't for the government's propaganda, he really didn't know that there were so many loyal ministers and martyrs in his hometown.

Just about to take his son home, Wang Daxi remembered that there was a treasure in his fish basket, and he just asked Lao Xiucai to give him a palm eye first, so as not to go to the city to be cheated.

"Elder Zheng, I found something on the bank of the Yi River, and I didn't understand any of the words written on it, so you can give me a palm."

Wang Daxi took the seal out of the fish basket and put it in front of Zheng Lao's eyes, looking forward to it.

Lao Xiucai glanced at it, took the seal, and said with a smile between his eyebrows: "The seal? I said I'm very happy, you shouldn't have picked up the jade seal of any emperor, haha! ”

As he spoke, he flipped over his hand and looked at the few seal characters on it.

Suddenly, like a thunderbolt struck the head of Lao Xiucai, I saw that this seal was engraved with "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!" "Eight seals!

"Heirloom Jade Seal!"

Lao Xiucai was stunned, only to feel that the thing in his hand was as heavy as Mount Tai, and his hands trembled and held it in his hand.

At noon on the second day, Luoyang County Ya.

"My lord, there is a person outside who claims to be Wang Daxi who says that something has been handed over to the imperial court."

The young Luoyang magistrate put down the brush in his hand and said curiously: "Hand it over to the imperial court?" What is it? ”

The little official was embarrassed and said: "Lord Hui, this person refuses to say, saying that he must see the county magistrate before he is willing to hand over the things." ”

In the last "Lu Yin Case", the entire Henan officialdom was purged, and the Luoyang Zhixian County did not escape the catastrophe, and the young Xinzhi County had just been in office for more than a year, and he did not dare to neglect his government in the slightest.

Hearing that it was about the imperial court, the magistrate hurriedly ordered: "Call him in." ”

"The king of the grass people is overjoyed to meet the magistrate."

Wang Daxi knelt down in the lobby to push the golden mountain and the jade pillar, after all, the first time he came to the county yamen, he was very nervous, this kneeling momentum was very loud, and he had never kowtowed so loudly when worshipping his ancestors in previous years.

The magistrate said modestly: "Please get up quickly, Emperor Taizu stipulates that you are not guilty, and you will not kneel when you see the officials." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict stipulating that when the grass people saw officials, they did not need to kneel, they only needed to bow their hands, unless they were criminals, and they needed to kneel on the "mirror hanging" law hall.

Wang Daxi was stunned, when he was a child, he heard people say that the dog officials and the errand people are all guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, why is this official mansion so good now? The magistrate and I are so polite?

The magistrate looked at Wang Daxi's bulging chest, so he smiled and said, "I heard that you have something to hand over to the imperial court, can you take it out and let the official take a look?" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Wang Daxi retracted his thoughts, took out a patched blue cloth bag from his arms, put it on the table of the magistrate, and carefully opened it layer by layer.

After careful observation, the county's reaction was even more exaggerated than that of Zheng Lao, and he knelt on the spot, shouting: "This is auspicious from the sky!" ”

Among the officials, the county prince, the master, the head catcher and others also came over, looking at this sacred thing in amazement.

The county man was also excited, he pressed Wang Daxi's shoulder and said, "Brother, you want to leave a name in history!" ”

Wang Daxi's mood was even more difficult to calm down, and he actually picked up the legendary heirloom jade seal.

It doesn't matter if you leave a name in the history or not, what matters is whether the imperial court will give out some rewards or something.......

The news of the appearance of the jade seal of the country is like having wings, and it has spread throughout the entire Henan Province in just a few days, and this shocking news has reached Kaifeng Mansion for the first time.

Subsequently, Liu Tongsheng, the governor of Henan, the champion of Chongzhen for ten years, personally inspected the goods, and after confirming the authenticity, he sent the news to Nanjing in an expedited manner of 800 li, and dispatched 3,000 city defense troops to escort the jade seal of the country to Fengyang, and handed it over to the Tianwu Army to convey to Nanjing.
