Chapter 84, the jade seal of the country

What is He's Bi, not everyone knows it in Huaxia, and it's probably about the same. Maybe not many people know the deeds of Bian He Xianyu, but the allusion to returning to Zhao is by no means new.

The jade pendant he brought turned out to be a fragment of He's Bi, which surprised Liu Feng, and suddenly a thought came to his mind: Didn't you really meet Zhizhi Brain at the beginning!

"Little friend, do you know the beginning and end of this and the clan?" Just when Liu Feng was thinking nonsense, the old man spoke.

"I know a little bit about it, only know that it is Bian He's income, dedicated to the king of Chu, and was later carved into a jade seal by Qin Shi Huang, with Li Si's book 'ordered by the sky, that is, Shou Yongchang' eight characters, and later has been used as a symbol of the emperor's jade seal. I don't know anything else, but please teach me? Of course, Liu Feng knew more than that, but he knew that the game and reality would not be the same, so he continued to ask shamelessly.

"Yes, He's bi originated from Bian He, and Bian He has a special profession - jade picker. At that time, the division of various professions was not too obvious, but now this profession is still relatively special, and only those top quarrymen can become jade miners. ”

"Without further ado, Bian He got a piece of jade from Jingshan and dedicated it to the king of Chu at that time - King Chu Li, who ordered someone to identify it and came to the conclusion that it was a stone, so he cut off Bian He's left foot; When King Chu Li died, King Chu Wu ascended the throne, Bian He went to offer jade again, but he was still regarded as a stone, so he lost his right foot; Until the time of King Wen of Chu, he heard about Bian He's deeds, so he ordered to put aside the jade, and sure enough, he got a piece of jade, because of the experience of Bian He, he named it 'He's Bi', which is the source of He's Bi. ”

Liu Feng nodded as he listened, this was similar to what he knew, but there was an additional profession of "jade picker".

After that, He's Bi has been passed down in the Chu royal family, until the time of King Chu Wei, Xiangguo Zhaoyang destroyed the Yue State, so King Chu Wei rewarded He's Bi to Zhaoyang. In order to show off, Zhaoyang feasted guests on the waterside to appreciate jade, but because there were big fish in the water, he went to watch, but after he came back, he could no longer find He's bi, so the poor doorman Zhang Yi was slandered and stolen He's bi, and was severely tortured. Zhang Yi naturally would not admit that He Shibi has disappeared since then. Where he went, no one knows, maybe it was really stolen, or it may be that Zhaoyang himself hid it, anyway, he hasn't been seen for decades. ”

"It's a pity that they chose the wrong target of slander, they thought that Zhang Yi was a down-and-out person, how could they have thought that Zhang Yi already had the strength of the seventh order at that time. After recovering from his injury, Zhang Yi worked harder and soon advanced to the eighth order, and Zhang Yi, as the representative of the Zongheng family, did not continue to stay in the Chu State, but entered the Qin State. In the Qin State, Zhang Yi's talent was able to be displayed, and he sent many envoys to the Six Kingdoms to destroy the Six Nations Alliance, especially the Chu State suffered heavy losses under Zhang Yi's tongue arguments, and even in the end, the death of King Chu Huai and the defeat of Yingdu again had a lot to do with Zhang Yi's previous behavior. Zhang Yi has been circling around the world for decades, twice to Qin and twice to Wei, and his tongue argument technique has reached its peak and advanced to the ninth order. These are not the main points, but just talk about the important influence of Heshibi. ”

"When He's Bi reappeared, he had already arrived in the Kingdom of Zhao and was dedicated to the King of Zhao. At this time, the Qin State was strong, and after hearing about this, he sent a message to King Zhao that he wanted to exchange fifteen cities for He's Bi, although it was a joke, but it also showed the value of He's Bi. Zhao Guoming knew that King Qin was joking, but he had to send an envoy to send jade, and the result was that Lin Xiangru performed a complete play and returned to Zhao. Since then, he has been in Zhao. ”

However, the Six Kingdoms continued to weaken, the Qin State gradually strengthened, and under pressure, I don't know when He Shibi was given to Qin by Zhao State. After the unification of the world by the Qin State, the first emperor carved it into a jade seal, with Li Si's book 'ordered by the sky, that is, longevity Yongchang' eight characters, since then, the jade seal of the country has gradually become a symbol of the emperor, is the important weapon of the country. ”

After the uprising of various princes at the end of Qin, Liu Bang finally took the lead in attacking Xianyang, and the jade seal of the country was returned to Liu Bang. At this time, the jade seal of the country was just an artifact, and although Xiang Yu was the crown prince, he did not ask for it. It was not until Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and used it as the emperor's seal that for two hundred years, the reputation of the jade seal spread and became a symbol of the Son of Heaven. ”

"Only when you get the jade seal of the country can it be said that it is 'ordered by heaven' and is orthodox. Therefore, when Wang Mang usurped the throne, he would be impatient to ask for the jade seal of the country, and then the rebels from all walks of life also competed for the jade seal of the country, until Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu defeated the rebels from all walks of life, seized the world, and continued the Han family, until now, the jade seal of the country is still inherited in the hands of the Han Emperor. ”

"What about this jade pendant? Why is it a fragment of He's Bi? Liu Feng can understand what Lao Dao said, and he also has some guesses about his statement that this jade pendant is a fragment of the He's Bi.

Sure enough, Lao Dao continued: "This is about to talk about the second change of ownership after He's Bi became the heirloom jade seal." Liu Bang won the world and sealed the emperor's letter with the jade seal of the country, which had an influence all over the world. When the Han family declined and his cousin Wang Mang was in charge of the government, he had a different heart and wanted to usurp the throne and become the emperor. Of course, he did the same, the then emperor Liu Ying was only two years old at the time, and the jade seal was kept in the hands of the queen mother, so when he usurped the throne, he immediately sent someone to ask the then queen mother for the jade seal. ”

"This queen mother is not an outsider, she is a member of the Wang clan, named Wang Zhengjun, and Wang Mang's aunt. Wang Mang sent his younger brother Wang Shun, Marquis of Anyang, into the palace to ask for the seal, the queen mother was furious, and scolded Wang Shun and his family, but still could not stop Wang Mang's behavior, had to take out the jade seal of the country, cast it on the ground, and thus shattered a corner. ”

Wang Shun got the jade seal of the country and hurriedly went to restore his life, so he naturally ignored the missing corner, and the fragment was collected by a guard, and later fell into the hands of a person named Fang Wang. Fang Wang was also a member of the rebel army during Wang Mang's period, and after failing to dissuade the leader from returning to the original regime, he set up his own righteous army, and conspired with Gong Lin to welcome Liu Ying as the emperor. This is where this jade pendant comes from. Lao Dao raised the jade pendant in his hand.

"Dao Chief, is this also your calculation?" Liu Feng couldn't help but say.

"That's not it, but the old man I met told me. Although Lao Dao had never seen the jade seal of the country, according to the records of the ancestors and the influence of talking to the elder, it was probably not wrong. Lao Dao said.

"I don't know who the elder you met is, this kind of thing should be relatively secretive, why can he know so clearly?" Liu Feng asked.

"I don't know what the identity of that elder is, but I know a little, his surname is Liu, and you have the same surname as Xiaoyou." Lao Dao said with a smile, "I never thought that Xiaoyou is still a member of the Han family, but Lao Dao is rude." As he spoke, he returned the jade pendant to Liu Feng.

"What?" Liu Feng didn't understand for a while, took the jade pendant and looked at it, and was stunned again.

He's dragon pattern jade pendant: carved from the corner of the jade seal of the country, the lord who owns this jade pendant will increase the popularity and security of the people in the territory by 20%, increase the speed of attracting homeless people by 100%, and be lucky +5, collect a pair of jade pendants, and have another effect. Note: The first person to hold this pendant is in the royal bloodline, and can be naturalized Zongzheng (depending on the emperor's situation), and this attribute disappears if he dies before naturalization.

"What's going on?" Liu Feng found that his brain was not enough.
