A blood-colored jewel!
Well, Chinese New Year's Eve says that blood is too inauspicious, so let's be pink. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although many people want to say that it is a pink orb, the gradual expansion seems to render the main hall of the huge Afang Palace into a pale blood-colored orb, giving people the feeling that this is it.
Although everyone is amazed by such a jewel, they are definitely not too surprised.
Because, many people, especially Meng Tian and Wei Yi, know that in Daqin, there is also such a jewel.
However, the orb emitted a pale white light, not a blood-colored light like the one offered by Princess Loulan. Historically, that jewel has appeared in Lees's Book of Exhortations.
"Your Majesty to the jade of Kunshan, there is the treasure of easy-going and harmonious, and the pearl of the bright moon...... This number of treasures, Qin is not born, and His Majesty said, why not? ”
The so-called easy-going and harmonious treasure, "and" is engraved with the jade seal of the Great Qin Emperor engraved with "ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity"; As for "Sui", it is Suihou Zhu.
Sui Hou Zhu, legend has it that the monarch of Sui Guo Sui Hou saw an injured snake on the side of the road on a trip to be in great pain, Sui Hou felt compassion, let the snake be dressed with medicine, and released into the grass. After the serpent recovered, he came to Suihou's residence with a night pearl and said: "I am the son of the dragon king, and I am grateful for the grace of the king to save my life, and I have come to repay the virtue." This is the Suihou Pearl, which is called the "Spirit Snake Pearl".
Of course, these are myths and legends.
However, the peerless jewel of Suihou Zhu can be known from Li Si's "Book of Expulsion of Guests" to the First Emperor, and it must exist.
With Hou Zhu and He's Bi, it was already a peerless treasure full of famous princes at that time.
In 706 BC, King Wu of Chu asked Suihou for Suihou Zhu, but this request was naturally rejected subsequently. Then King Wu of Chu began to attack Sui, and after several stubborn resistances, Suiguo was finally defeated by Chu, and Suiguo perished. With Hou Zhu, naturally don't go to Chu State.
In 362 B.C., Qin Xiangong died, the twenty-one-year-old Qin Xiaogong, there were six powerful countries east of the territory of Qin, Qi, Chu, Wei, Yan, Han, and Zhao. There are still more than ten small countries between Huaibei and Sishang. And the Qin State is still deserted in Yongzhou, bullied by Wei in the east, and supported by Chu in the south. Qin was not valued by all countries, and even Zhou Tianzi, whose power was hollowed out, was unwilling to deal with Qin and could not participate in the alliance of the princes of the Central Plains.
Qin Xiaogong shouted angrily: "The princes are inferior to Qin. It's ugly". In this year, Qin Xiaogong promulgated the "Seeking Talent", and Wei Renyang came to Qin at this time, and was soon valued by Qin Xiaogong, and then Qin Xiaogong began to reuse Wei Yang to change the law in Qin. The national power of the Qin State began to grow rapidly.
In 342 B.C., King Xuan of Chu led an army of 300,000 to the east into Huaibei, King Qi Wei led 200,000 Qi troops to the south to Sishang, the Marquis of Yue led 200,000 Yue troops out of Guangling, north to Huaibei, Song Junyan also led an army of 100,000 east into Xuzhou, and the armies of the four countries fought fiercely for the land of Huaibei and Si Shangqian. Ultimately. The battle for Huaibei and Sishang ended with the complete victory of the Chu army, and in addition to a few small foreign countries in Shandong, more than a dozen small countries in Huaibei and Sishang were all included in the territory of Chu.
Just when King Xuan of Chu and the armies of Qi, Yue, and Song fought in Huaibei, Wei Ying led 200,000 Qin troops out of Languan and divided into two routes. All the way out of Luonan in the east, all the way out of the Shangluo Ancient Road, the second way Qin army met in Shangzhou, driving away hundreds of Chu troops in the Danjiang area southwest of Shangzhou. Then he waved his army to the east and captured Danfeng and Shaoxi Pass, which were guarded by thousands of Chu troops. and sent a large army to garrison Shangluo, Danfeng and Shaoxi Pass. The north of the Danjiang River and the west of Shaoxi Pass, together with the entire Shangluo Ancient Road, were incorporated into the territory of the Qin State.
When King Xuan of Chu heard the news, he immediately led his troops back to his division and sent an envoy to question Xiaogong.
Prior to this, for more than 100 years, the two countries of Qin and Chu had been married for generations and joined forces to resist the invasion of Wei and Qi, the two great powers at that time.
When the father of filial piety was sacrificed, the Spring and Autumn overlord Wei Hui Wang united Zhao and Han to send troops to attack Qin at the same time. Qin and Wei, Zhao fought in northern Shaanxi, Hexi, and Wei, Korea fought in Luonan, the three countries joined forces to fight the Qin army defeated and retreated, Wei soon took Hexi Huayin, Cuihan Ancient Road and Gutongguan County, Zhao took the later generations of Shanxi Yuguan, Yan'an, Han Lingbao to Tongguan.
At that time, most of the territory of Qin had fallen, and the capital city of Liyang had been directly exposed to the troops of the alliance forces of Wei, Zhao and Han. The state of Qin was already in fact in danger of extinction.
When King Xuan of Chu heard the news, he raised 100,000 troops, passed through Shaoxi Pass and Shangyi to Shangzhou, and fought against the Han and Wei coalition forces. In the second year, the 180,000 combined forces of Chu and Qin repelled the attack of the 200,000 combined forces of Wei and Han in Danyang, Shangzhou, and defeated the combined forces of Wei and Han in Luonan in the same year.
The disaster of the fall of the Qin State has been solved!
And here, when Qin Xiaogong faced the questioning of the envoy of King Xuan of Chu, on the one hand, he desperately defended that Wei Yang led an army of 200,000 to make his own claim, and on the other hand, he sent an envoy to send a message to Wei Yang, who was stationed in Shaoxi Pass and Shangyi, saying that King Xuan of Chu wanted Qin to hand over Wei Yang and soon raise a division to attack Shangyi and Shaoxi, and Qin was invincible, and sealed Shangzhou, Luonan, and Shangyi 700 miles to Wei Yang, and named Wei Yang as the Marquis of Shang.
Wei Yang immediately called himself Shangjun, and changed his name to Shang Ying, cut off the ancient road of Shangzhou from Shangluo to Shangnan, and increased the height and reinforcement of Shaoxi Pass, with an army of 100,000 stationed in Shangyi and Shaoxi, and an army of 100,000 stationed in Shangzhou and Luonan, and recruited troops and horses, expanded the armament and warfare, and prepared to meet the crusade of King Xuan of Chu.
When King Xuan of Chu, who was furious, was about to wave his army to attack Shang Yang and punish the ignorant junior Qin Xiaogong by the way, King Qi Wei and King Wei Hui raised troops south at the same time to attack Chu, so they had to return to the division to fortify. And the Qi and Wei coalition forces saw that King Chu Xuan was prepared, so they had to retreat again.
In 340 BC, King Xuan of Chu was bedridden by the treachery of Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying, and he could not afford to fall ill. Until he died, he still remembered Shangzhou and Shaoxiguan, who were jointly pitted by Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying.
From then on, Qin and Chu began to fight each other, from generations of in-laws to enemies. However, at this time, the strength of the Qin State has already changed from what it used to be after the Shang Dynasty reform, and the most important thing is that Qin Xiaogong has obtained the Shaoxi Pass, a southern pass that is very important to the Great Qin, and there is no need to worry about the Chu State waving its army north at any time to attack outside the capital of the Qin State.
In the following ten years, as Pang Juan was defeated by Sun Bin, Wei gradually fell from the position of a powerful country in the world and collapsed. Subsequently, the Qin State seized the Hangu Pass from the Wei State, and the place of the Great Qin's henchmen was finally stable.
After the First Emperor destroyed Chu, the two treasures of Suihe, along with the treasures of the royal families of the Chu State, became the spoils of Great Qin.
He Shibi became the jade seal of the Great Qin Emperor, and Suihou Zhu was buried in the mausoleum with the First Emperor.
Yao Jia, Dun Weak, Hu Wujing, Feng Qujian and others who presided over the funeral of the First Emperor all knew about this matter.
The treasure of Loulan in front of him is three points bigger than the Suihou Zhu who was buried in the mausoleum of the first emperor as a lighting tool, and it can indeed be called a peerless treasure.
But why wasn't it on the list of gifts to His Majesty the Emperor before? It seems that this small country in the Western Regions just doesn't understand etiquette. At this time, although it is still dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid that it will only make the emperor and the important ministers have a problem in their hearts.
It's just that, I don't know why, Wei Yi, Meng Tian and the others who were sitting in the front row saw that the misty pink emitted by the orb was even more pale blood-colored, and they always felt a little demonic.
"Does this orb have a name?" Hu Hai naturally also saw the somewhat bewitching orb placed in front of his bronze case, the faint blood light made him a little uncomfortable from where he looked, and waved his hand to signal the guards of the Longwei Mansion who were still observing the orb to put the orb away.
The Great Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms and the Zhou Dynasty, which ruled the land of China for hundreds of years, is naturally not bad for treasures, not to mention how many were buried in the mausoleum of the first emperor, but how many treasures are in the emperor's inner treasury now, Hu Hai has never had an accurate concept in his heart, because it seems that he has never gone to see the inner treasury that stores various treasures specifically for the emperor.
With the lid of the dark gold box carved with all kinds of exotic beasts, flowers and birds, the faint blood-colored light that filled the entire hall disappeared in an instant.
I don't know why, without the blood, the ministers in the hall suddenly felt much more comfortable. It's not as heavy as before.
"Back to Your Majesty, this jewel is called the Meteorite Pearl. In the past, the ancestor once saved a stranger, and the stranger gave this thing to my Loulan royal family in order to thank the ancestor for saving his life, saying that if this jewel is worn all the year round, it can not only prolong life but also make the face permanent. This thing is the treasure of my Loulan country, and even Ia's brother and father have never told it. ”
Seeing that Hu Hai didn't seem to be interested in the orb at all, and just glanced at it and ordered someone to close the lid, a ripple finally flashed in Iya's calm blue eyes, and then she opened her lips lightly and spoke.
Iya understated
Things were a little unexpected.
Below the main hall, Zou Hong stared at the red headless three-legged giant bird on the side of the dark gold treasure box with the lid closed, muttering to himself.
"Oh? Does this thing have such a miraculous effect? Hu Hai was a little surprised when he heard Iya's words.
The history of China for 5,000 years, but the history before the pre-Qin period accounted for more than half of the glorious civilization of these five years ago. Because there were really not many documents left at that time, and Xiang Yu, a loser, burned many palaces and treasury collections, including Afang Palace and Xianyang Palace, so many secrets before the pre-Qin Dynasty actually became unsolved mysteries for later generations.
The only way to understand the history of the pre-Qin period is through the "Historical Records" compiled by Sima Qian.
However, all that can be recorded in the historical records is only a few words, and most of them are documents from more than 100 years before the Qin Dynasty.
If there really is such a treasure, it is indeed not impossible.
