Chapter 524: The Emperor of the Emperor

The treasure of the seal in the arms of Shangbao Supervisor Ma Gonggong is the second jade seal of the Yongli Emperor, the first jade seal was used when Zhaoqing ascended the throne, but then it was lost when he fled Guilin, and his whereabouts are unknown. Now this jade seal was made in the Anlong period, in order to distinguish it from the lost jade seal, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Qing army, so the regulation of this jade seal is slightly smaller than the lost one, so that you can see the authenticity from the size of the seal on the holy decree.

This piece of jade seal is damaged, and a small piece is obviously missing from the corner, Xu Yingyuan interrogated Ma Gonggong and learned that yesterday the holy car drove out of the city in a hurry, and the Guogong Mansion was in chaos, and there were bold internal supervisors who colluded with the guards to take advantage of the chaos to rob the property, and Shang Baojian, who had always been in charge of the emperor's treasure seal, became the first choice for those people to rob.

In the chaos, Ma Gonggong didn't care about anything else, and only took two cronies to protect the jade seal and escaped from the Guogong Mansion, but then he found that the whole city was in chaos, and the holy driver had also left the city. The three of them had no choice but to run to Wuhua Mountain to wait for the city to calm down before leaving the city, who would have thought that in the middle of the night, many robbers came to the Wuhua Mountain Palace, which had not yet been built, and robbed and destroyed everywhere in the palace. Ma Gonggong was worried that Dabao would be robbed by those strongmen, so he had to take his men out of the city in the dark. When going down the mountain, due to the panic and hurry, Ma Gonggong fell on the stone steps, rolled more than a dozen steps, knocked his head and bled out, and the jade seal in his arms was also knocked hard, causing a corner of the jade seal to be damaged.

After the three of them went out of the city at night, they were also lucky, and on the way, they used the silver they brought with them to exchange an ox cart with a family of people, so that they had a means of transportation, otherwise the three of them would not know how to be tired. But he never thought that the jade seal that had been preserved so hard was robbed by the soldiers under the King of Jin, and Gonggong Ma was shocked, I don't know why these King Jin's subordinates were bold. The two little inner prisoners were also so frightened that they squatted on the ground and trembled, thinking that their lives would not be saved this time.

"The emperor has run away, what do you want this seal to do?"

Liang Shuanghu thought that this stone was a good thing, but after hearing Guo Shao say that it was the emperor's jade seal, he lost interest all of a sudden. Xu Yingyuan said that his marshal didn't want this emperor, and wanted to change the emperor to Daming, in this case, isn't this emperor's jade seal a waste. Could it be that the new emperor still uses the jade seal of the old emperor? This is really fucking unlucky, can the new emperor be happy?

Guo Shao didn't have time to explain anything to Liang Shuanghu, a rough man, but although he knew that the emperor's jade seal was a good thing, a good thing of the first rank in the world, but for a while, he couldn't think of what this jade seal could be used for.

Xu Yingyuan was excitedly pondering the eternal treasure in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and countless thoughts appeared in his mind. At this moment, I only felt that the hero was finally useful, and he Xu Yingyuan was finally able to enter the ranks of senior officials of the Taiping Army with this jade seal. Well, as long as he can maximize the benefits of this jade seal.

After carefully planning in his mind for a long time, Xu Yingyuan calmed down the excitement in his heart, took a long breath, and then turned his head and said to Guo Shao very calmly: "Brother Guo, I have to bother you to prepare a holy decree." ”

"Let me make a decree?" Guo Shao was taken aback, stunned at that time, and didn't understand what Xu Yingyuan meant for a while.

Xu Yingyuan's face was serious: "The jade seal fell into our hands, of course we have to draw up a purpose, otherwise this jade seal has a bullshit." ”

"Can this be done?"

Guo Shao was really frightened by Xu Yingyuan's audacity, and robbing the princess was also bold, but compared with what Xu Yingyuan is talking about now, it is really trivial. This is a false decree!

Xu Yingyuan didn't have Guo Shao's consciousness at all, he only smiled there, and then asked Guo Shao: "Brother Guo, do you know what the handsome man wants to do most now?" ”

"King Qin? Embracing a new king? Guo Shao was a little unsure.

"No," Xu Yingyuan shook his head slightly, and said with certainty: "What the big handsome wants to do most is to be a prince." ”

Guo Shao was silent, Zhou Shixiang's desire to be a prince was no secret in the Taiping Army, and it was not a secret in the Yongli Imperial Court, because the scholar Guo Zhiqi insisted on asking for the title of king for a long time after returning from Guangdong. On the Guangdong side, the governor even hinted at the city wall in his recital to the imperial court that Zhou Shi had a special idea of the prince.

Guo Shao and Xu Yingyuan are both demoted officials, and the two can cooperate with each other in Kunming, in essence, these two people want Zhou Shixiang's status to get higher and higher, and the Taiping army is getting stronger and stronger, because this means that they, the officials who surrendered first, can have a better future, at least, without worrying about their lives. Therefore, Guo Shao was very happy to see Zhou Shixiang be crowned prince, so he finally understood what Xu Yingyuan wanted to do.

"Brother Xu means to take this jade seal to make a copy of the king's edict?"

Guo Shao's voice trembled a little, he was just a small salt patrol, but now he wanted to participate in the king's affairs, how could he not panic in his heart.

"Back then, Qingguo Gong Chen Bangfu and others used Dabao to make a book of the King of Qin for Sun Kewang, and now that Dabao is in our hands, why can't we make a book for Dashuai?"

Xu Yingyuan raised his eyebrows, with a smug face, feeling proud of his whimsy, just imagine, he can do what Zhou Xiucai dreamed of, and Zhou Xiucai can not miss him?

Guo Shao was a little worried: "The court doesn't know about the king, can we make it useful?" ”

This is true, the Yongli court knows that the emperor is unwilling to give Zhou Shixiang the king, Guo Zhiqi has been fighting for so long, but he is just fighting for Zhou Shixiang for the princess of Yueguo, and now suddenly the emperor issued a decree to crown Zhou Shixiang as the prince, and the court knows nothing about it, and people with a heart can understand that this matter must be false.

Xu Yingyuan thought for a while and smiled softly: "The holy decree of righteousness and brightness will definitely not work, let's change our clothes and bring the edict." ”

"Cloth and belt edict?!"

Guo Shao froze again, how did he not know the edict. When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven to move the capital to Xu County, and had a conflict with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty wrote an edict with blood, sewed it in the belt of his clothes, and secretly passed it to Dong Cheng. Dong Cheng claimed to have accepted the secret edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and murdered Cao Cao with Chongji, Wu Shuo, Wang Zifu, Liu Bei, etc., and as a result, Jian'an was defeated and executed.

"Brother Xu won't let Dashuai murder King Jin, right?"

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to punish Cao Cao, and now who else can be compared to Cao Cao's power around the Son of Heaven except King Jin?

Guo Shao didn't dare to think that Xu Yingyuan really wanted to get an edict from the emperor asking Zhou Xiucai to kill the King of Jin, and the already turbulent and fragmented Ming Dynasty could still be saved.

"Brother Guo thinks too much."

Xu Yingyuan laughed dryly, and with a "squeak", he tore off a piece of white clothes from the cuffs, and then said to him: "The Qing army entered Yunnan in a big way to chase the holy car, and the Son of Heaven eagerly sent an edict to invite my marshal to come to King Qin, and reward the prince for the merit of the king. After all, the court knows that the Son of Heaven has a prejudice against the marshal, so the Son of Heaven has a good face, and it is inconvenient to explicitly issue a will for my marshal to come to King Qin, and it is not very reasonable to change it to a cloth and belt edict. After speaking, he pointed to Ma Gonggong, who was pressed to the side: "Eunuch Shangbao came to us with an edict with a belt, what's unreasonable?" ”

Guo Shao was speechless by Xu Yingyuan's words, so he had to say: "How can it be called a cloth edict without the blood book of the Son of Heaven?" ”

"Take the blood of the Son of Heaven and use his."

Xu Yingyuan waved his hand, and his eyes fell on Ma Gonggong, who was confused and panicked, with an unpredictable smile on his face

When Ma Gonggong was pulled over, he was just about to question, but his palm hurt, and before he could shout, someone brought a bowl and waited for his blood.

"Oops!"

Ma Gonggong was so frightened that he fainted.

Guo Shao is also from a good background, so it is naturally easy to write an edict, but when it comes to the key point, he stops his pen and asks Xu Yingyuan with an embarrassed face: "What kind of king will you give to the handsome?" ”

"King Qin can't do it, Sun Kewang has used it, use King Qi."

Xu Yingyuan said casually that the edict was fake, so it naturally didn't matter what the king name was. But he really didn't dare to get a king name out at will, thinking that King Qin called Sun Kewang to use it, then he could only choose the second king of Qi, and he really wanted to choose a king name that was not in the stream, such as King Wei, King Chen or something, and the handsome side was probably not happy. He didn't want to mess up the credit.

The king of Qi is the king of Qi, Guo Shao is now at the mercy of Xu Yingyuan, whatever he says. After a while, the edict was freshly baked, and there were only more than 100 words before and after.

"Brother Xu, use the seal."

Xu Yingyuan took the edict in his hand, looked at it carefully, confirmed that there was no problem, blew it and blew it, and then respectfully placed it on the ground, holding the jade seal of Yongli and covering it fiercely.

Ma Gonggong woke up, and he saw how the emperor's treasure was covered with the edict written in his blood.

"You guys? You are not the soldiers of the King of Jin, you are the soldiers of Guangdong, do you know that you are a great rebellion, a rebellion, a bully, yes"

Ma Gonggong was incoherent, and the scene he saw in front of him was the most absurd and daring thing he had ever seen in his life.

Guo Shao glanced at Ma Gonggong and didn't say anything. Xu Yingyuan squatted in front of the other party, stared at his face, and said very calmly: "Life and death are in my father-in-law's thoughts, so I don't need to say anything." ”

"Our Family"

Ma Gonggong was ashamed and humiliated, his fat face turned red, and he was about to grit his teeth and scold something, but when he saw a big man on the side pull out a knife, he suddenly shuddered, and changed his tone tremblingly.

"The emperor is in danger, our family risked death to send an edict for the emperor to invite the king of Qi to come to the rescue"

Ma Gonggong is very knowledgeable, and completely according to the version arranged for him by Xu Yingyuan, he deduced a loyal slave and maid how to risk death to send an edict to the emperor for thousands of miles.

Xu Yingyuan was very satisfied, but Guo Shao was very nervous, because there was one thing he had to remind Xu Yingyuan, that is, this edict was made, but if Yongli didn't admit it, then they made this edict like asking the handsome man to eat a fly. Under the anger of the big handsome, the two of them were afraid that there would be no good end.

"Brother Guo, don't worry, if the Son of Heaven really wants to go to western Yunnan, he will never come back, so this edict will always be true."

Xu Yingyuan's face once again had a mysterious expression, as if he had calculated everything like a master

Author's note: The official history record of the Yongli jade seal was abandoned in Wuhua Mountain when it left Kunming, and was unearthed hundreds of years later, with broken corners and cracks in the printing (to be continued. )
