Late at night, after Guo Jia left, Zhang Liao looked at an open red box under the lamp and was a little dazed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

I'll go! How is it a jade seal!

When Zhang Liao first opened it, he was so shocked that he almost threw the box away.

This box was the one that Gu Caiying carried with him in the palace at the beginning, and later Tang Wan left it for him before leaving Xiaopingjin, and he didn't say what was in it at the time, only that he should keep it alive or useful.

Zhang Liao only thought it was Gu Caiying's thing, so he didn't open it without authorization, but kept it there and handed it over to the Yin family for safekeeping, and later when he saw Tang Wan again in Yingchuan, Tang Wan mentioned the red box to him again, and then met Sun Jian in Luoyang, he suddenly thought of the time when he passed down the jade seal, and at that time he had some strange feelings in his heart, and then he was busy with the affairs of Hedong and had been negligent.

It wasn't until he moved his family into the Taishou Mansion in the past two days that he remembered this red box, but he didn't expect to open it and see that it was actually a jade seal of the country!

Zhang Liao gently took out the heirloom jade seal in the box, the heirloom jade seal in front of him was about four inches square, the whole body of jade was crystal clear, without a trace of flaws, there were five royal dragons carved above, circling and winding, the most conspicuous thing was that there was a gap in the corner of the jade seal, and a piece of gold was filled.

He turned the jade stream around, only to see that the front of the jade seal was engraved with eight seal characters: Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity.

As for the legend of the jade seal, he also knows some, I heard that it was the Chu people Bian He who got a piece of the best treasure jade and the clan bi during the Warring States Period, and then passed through Chu to Zhao, and finally the world was unified and returned to Qin. Qin Shi Huang ordered Li Si to write the eight characters of "Ordered by the Heavens, Both Longevity and Yongchang", and carved the Bi of the He family into a jade seal. In the twenty-eighth year of the first emperor, the dragon boat crossed the Dongting Lake, the wind and waves rose suddenly, the dragon boat was about to tilt, the first emperor was busy throwing the jade seal of the country into the lake, and the wind and waves were flat. Eight years later, someone in Huayin Pingshu Dao returned the jade seal to the ancestor Dragon First Emperor.

It is also said that after the first emperor threw the heirloom jade seal into the lake, he chose a piece of high-quality jade to carve. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, destroyed Qin Dexi, and when he ascended the throne, he wore the jade seal of the country, which has since become the treasure of the country and symbolizes orthodoxy.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, when Wang Mang usurped power, he asked for the jade seal, and the queen mother threw the jade seal to the ground angrily, and a corner was thrown off, and Wang Mang ordered the craftsman to make up for it with gold. After that, the jade seal changed hands several times and fell into the hands of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and was passed down. But in the rebellion of the ten permanent servants last year, the jade seal of the country was lost and disappeared, and after that, Dong Zhuo searched for countless times but did not find it, but he did not expect it to be in his hands.

Zhang Liao grinned, a good thing, even if you don't call yourself an emperor, it's a pleasure to play with your collection. But you can't let others know about this thing, otherwise it will be a big disaster.

As for handing it in...... How can it be! Not to mention that he was afraid of implicating Tang Wan, but if he was not implicated, how could he give away the treasures in his hands.

This thing is useless now, but it may be of great use in the future, it is really useless, and it can also be used as an heirloom of the Zhang family.

Zhongxing sword, passing on the jade seal of the country, Zhang Liao's heart is full of beauty.

……

The next day, Zhang Liao issued a decree on Dutian and the households, the wording was severe, and those who did not comply were punished very severely, and the counties and localities below were in a commotion.

At dusk, dozens of miles west of Anyi County, the slanting sun shone on Wei's Dock.

Wei's dock is built on the rammed earth high platform, more than two miles long from east to west, there is more than one mile from north to south, the dock wall is more than two zhang high, the four corners are built with the corner tower arrow tower, and there is a watchtower nearly five zhang high in the dock.

Outside the fort dock wall, there is a trench that is dug around the width of the zhang and the depth of the moat, and there is a gatehouse at the main gate, and there is a suspension bridge outside the gatehouse, which can be described as a small military fortress.

In the fort, the two thousand parts of the defense have just been drilled, and they are equipped with leather armor, spears, bows and arrows, and there are war drums, rolling stones, oil pots, giant trees and other defensive materials on all sides.

Since the destruction of Fan's Dock, Wei's Dock has been heavily guarded in the past few days, and there are people observing the situation on all sides from the five-zhang high watchtower at all times, ready to fight at any time.

At this time, Wei Gu was talking secretly with more than a dozen local powerful principals in the hall.

"Everyone," Wei Gu's expression was cold, and he said hatefully: "Zhang Liao, this fang, is wanton in Hedong, first brutalized the Fan family, and now he wants to spend the field and make up households, he is just a Hedong Taishou, how dare he carry out this national plan, it is clearly to suppress us, take away our land, take away our guests, tenant farmers and tribes, put me to death, we must not be captured!" Otherwise, just like Fan Xian, you will end up with a broken family! ”

One of them echoed: "Zhang Liao's move is indeed inappropriate, but he has elite soldiers under him, and it is difficult to resist it." ”

Another said: "It is better for us to hand over some of the land and the tenant farmers than to end up with a broken family." ”

Wei Gu reprimanded: "This childish word is also! Zhang Liao is ruthless, he does everything absolutely, if he compromises, his family will be ruined, and he will regret it! What's more, you are willing to hand over your land and tenant farmers? ”

When the other tycoons heard this, they fell silent, making them give up their fields and tenant farmers, even if they were some, as distressed as cutting meat.

Another person said: "The master of the Wei family has a clever plan, if there is a clever plan to deal with Zhang Liao, we should follow it." ”

Wei Gu sneered: "Although Zhang Liao has soldiers and horses, he is only an outsider after all, how can he compare to me?" In the past few days, I have sent people to the Situ Mansion in Guanzhong many times to complain, saying that Zhang Liao is rampant and domineering in the local area, acting recklessly, raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and killing Zhongliang. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up and said, "That's right." ”

Wei Gu said again: "I sent someone to Anyi Palace Niu Zhonglang to speak, and sent a lot of wealth, a mountain is difficult to accommodate two tigers, Zhang Liao is dominant, Niu Fu is not bad, the two will be discordant, Niu Fu is Dong Xiangguo's son-in-law, how can Zhang Liao stay here for a long time?" ”

The crowd was even more excited.

"There is another way," Wei Gu's eyes flashed with a vicious color: "We can send assassins to assassinate Zhang Liao, whether it succeeds or not, it will be safe to blame the white wave thief." ”

"Master Wei is really a clever plan!" One of them said, "But you don't know what you want me to do?" ”

Wei Gu said hesitantly: "In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we must use more plans, you are quite capable in the township, and now we will unite to encourage the people in the township to rebel, and then order the tribe to pretend to be thieves and Xiongnu, loot other counties and townships, just say that they want to drive Zhang Liao and kill Zhang Liao, so that Hedong is in chaos, and the people don't resent Zhang Liaohu?" How could Chang'an not transfer Zhang Liaohu? ”

"Stirring up civil unrest?" A strong man hesitated: "How can we compete with the imperial court?" ”

Wei Gu snorted: "We are only for Zhang Liao, not for the imperial court, what are we afraid of!" What's more, now Dong Xiangguo is suffering from the war in Kwantung and is unable to take care of anything else, Hedong is his rear, once there is chaos, he will inevitably strive for stability, how can he ask us to blame. ”

When Zhonghaoqiang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said one after another: "The plan of the Wei family master is feasible, so I will act according to the plan of the Wei family master." ”

"Good!" Wei Gu said in a deep voice: "We and the other tribes are united, there are tens of thousands, and I can control many county officials and county officials, you wait to go back, and then unite other big clans and county officials and township officials, make the momentum bigger, and get rid of Zhang Liao in one fell swoop!" ”

"Exactly!" The crowd was in high spirits.

At this moment, one of Wei Gu's cronies hurriedly came in and reported: "The head of the family, the ghost-faced handsome man of Nanshan has sent a letter. ”

"Nanshan ghost face handsome?" Wei Gu frowned, with a suspicious look on his face, and said, "Isn't it the Black Tiger Thief Li Xiong who occupies Nanshan?" (To be continued.) )
