Chapter 268: The Jade Seal of the Kingdom (Page 1/1)

The next day, Zhu Youxiao ordered people to invite the ministers, the scholars of various ministries, and the professors of the Academy of Chinese Literature. In Yuntai, Zhu Youxiao pointed to the jade seal and said: "The day before yesterday, the Military Survey and Statistics Bureau obtained the jade seal of the country from the Chahar Department, I want you to take a look, but it's true." ”

When Xu Guangqi heard that this was the case, he frowned, he didn't want to ruin the emperor's interest, so he didn't speak, and wanted to wait until he had time to have a good exchange with the emperor.

Everyone stepped forward to look at this jade seal, Qian Qianyi glanced at it, and felt that something was wrong, he looked at Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong, only to see Xu Guangqi standing far away and not leaning forward at all, and Sun Chengzong's face was dark, and the unhappiness on his face was obvious.

Zhu Yanxi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said carefully: "Your Majesty, this jade seal is the emperor's seal. ”

Zhu Youxiao said unhappily: "Of course I know that it is the Emperor's Seal, and I still recognize the words on it, and I want to ask if it is the jade seal of the country." ”

Sun Chengzong stepped forward with a dark face and said: "Zhu Shangshu means that this is the emperor's seal, so of course it is not the jade seal of the country." ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be disappointed, looked at the professors of the Academy of Chinese Literature, and saw that they all lowered their heads and did not speak, and understood that what Sun Chengzong said was true.

Sun Chengzong continued: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Master Sun, please speak." ”

Sun Chengzong gritted his teeth and said: "Since Qin Shi Huang got Lantian jade as a seal, and the Han Dynasty passed it on, it was a clever struggle to take it, and it was enough to be ordered, but I didn't know that I was ordered to be virtuous, not to be sealed." Therefore, if you can't ask for it, you will forge it to deceive others; If you get it, the monarch and the minister will be happy, and they will be praised in the world, and they will all laugh for a thousand years. ”

Zhu Youxiao's face turned red, and he bowed down for a long time and said, "Thank you for Master Sun's teachings." ”

Sun Chengzong knelt down and said: "The old minister has no words, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youxiao hurriedly helped him up and said: "It's because I'm too curious and want to see this heirloom jade seal, so there is this matter, but the ministers rest assured, I don't think that having a jade seal means that the destiny of heaven returns." ”

All the ministers knelt down on the ground together and said: "The ministers congratulate Daming and Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly, he just heard the name of the jade seal of the country for a long time, so he wanted to take a look, but he didn't want to be considered by the ministers to be a heavy seal and light virtue, he came from later generations, and he couldn't be a little curious. However, he also understood that the ministers' worries were actually justified, although he was a little unhappy.

Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, can you let Zhu Shangshu tell you about the difference between this jade seal of the country and the seal of the emperor, and the ministers have a long insight." ”

The so-called ministers are naturally impossible, and the ministers naturally know about the jade seal of the country, and as soon as they saw the jade seal just now, they knew that this was not the jade seal of the country. But the emperor may not know much about it, so he will regard this thing that is obviously not a heirloom jade seal as a heirloom jade seal. And let Zhu Yanxi talk about it, it also has the meaning of diluting the embarrassing atmosphere.

Zhu Yanxi stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, this jade seal of the country refers to the nineteenth year of the reign of King Qin.

Qin Po Zhao, De and Shi Bi. After the unification of the world, Ying Zheng called the first emperor, and ordered Li Si to carve the jade seal of the country with a small seal, and the front was engraved with the eight characters of "ordered by the day and longevity Yongchang". ”

"In the twenty-eighth year of the reign of King Qin, Qin Shi Huang crossed Dongting Lake by dragon boat, the wind and waves rose suddenly, the dragon boat was about to capsize, Qin Shi Huang hurriedly threw the jade seal of the country into the lake, praying to the gods to calm the waves. The jade seal was thus lost. Eight years later, someone in Huayin Pingshu Dao presented this national seal again. The jade seal of the country was restored to Qin. ”

"In the winter of the first year of Qin Ziying, Pei Gong Liu Bangjun was on the throne, and the baby knelt and held the jade seal and dedicated it to the left of Xianyang Road, and Qin died. The seal of the country has to be returned to Liu Han. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, a foreign 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. and the reckless army was defeated and killed, and the captain of the Praetorian Guard was passed on to the national seal, which tended to be Wan, and was dedicated to the first emperor Liu Xuan. Then after several tosses, it finally fell into the hands of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. ”

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs were autocratic. In the sixth year of Emperor Ling's reign, Yuan Shao entered the palace to kill the eunuchs, Duan Jue fled with the emperor, and the jade seal disappeared. When the emperor was presented, Dong Zhuo was in turmoil. Sun Jian led his army into Luoyang. On a certain day, the soldiers saw that there were colorful clouds in a well in the Zhen Palace in the south of the city, so they made people enter the well, and saw a small box tied around the neck of the palace maid who committed suicide by throwing herself into the well, and the jade seal of the country was hidden in the box. Sun Jianru obtained the treasure and hid it in his wife Wu's place. Later, Yuan Shu detained Wu and seized the seal. Yuan Shu died, Jingzhou assassin Xu Xuan brought the seal to Xuchang, when Cao Cao coerced the emperor and ordered the princes, so far, the seal of the country has to return to the Han family. ”

In the first year of Emperor Yankang of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian was forced to "let Chan", Cao Pi built Wei, and changed the Yuan to the beginning of the Huang Dynasty. It is to make people engrave the words "Great Wei by the Han Dynasty" on the shoulder of the national seal, in order to prove that it is not a "usurpation of the Han Dynasty", but it is really to cover it. In the second year of Emperor Cao Huan Xianxi of Wei Yuan, Sima Yan followed the same path, called Emperor Wu of Jin, changed the beginning of Yuan Taishi, and returned to Jin with the seal of the country. In the fifth year of Jin Yongjia, the former Zhao Liu Cong captured Sima Chi, the emperor of Jin Huai, and returned to the former Zhao. Nineteen years later, Hou Zhao Shi strangled the former Zhao and got the seal. More ingenious, on the right side of the engraved "Mandate of Heaven". Another twenty years, and then Ran Wei. Later, Ran Wei begged for the rescue of the Eastern Jin army, and the seal was deceived by the Jin generals, and was sent to the capital Jiankang (now Nanjing) overnight with three hundred fine horses. ”

"The seal of the country has gone through four generations of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen. The Sui unified China and included the national seal in the Sui Palace. In the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was killed in Jiangdu (now Yangzhou), and the Sui Dynasty died. Empress Xiao fled into the Mobei Turks with Emperor Yang Zhengdao of Sui and Emperor Yang Zhengdao and Chuanguoxi. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Taizong Li Shimin did not pass on the jade seal of the country, but engraved several jade "seals" such as "ordained treasure" and "destined treasure", and talked about **. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing led the army to crusade against the Turks, and in the same year, Empress Xiao and Emperor Yang Zhengdao of Sui Yang returned to the Central Plains against the Turks, and the seal of the country was returned to Li Tang, and Taizong Longyan Dayue. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the heroes were everywhere. In the fourth year of Tang Tianyou, Zhu Quanzhong abolished Emperor Tang Ai, seized the national seal, and built the Later Liang.

Sixteen years later, Li Cunqiao destroyed the Later Liang, built the Later Tang Dynasty, and passed on the national seal to the Later Tang Dynasty. Thirteen years later, Shi Jingjiao led the Khitan army to Luoyang, and the last emperor Li Congke set himself on fire in the Xuanwu Tower with the seal of the country, and the seal disappeared. ”

"Later, from the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, there were constantly people who offered the jade seal of the country, and finally it was confirmed to be false, I was built at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu sent Xu Da into Mobei, and chased and fought the remnants of the Yuan forces that escaped far away, one of the purposes was to ask for the jade seal of the country, but in the end it was in vain."

"At the time of filial piety, there were people who offered the so-called heirloom jade seal, and Xiaozong decided that it was a fake and did not use it. Until today, there is a jade seal of the country, and His Majesty Shengming has been determined to be false, and the virtue is not heavy, and the ministers are obedient. ”
