Chapter 370: Erudite Old Man
The old man said unhappily: "Why are you in a hurry, young man?" ”
The old man touched his chin and said, "When King Chu Wei was king, he made Yin Zhaoyang break more and more meritorious, and he was in the hands of this person. Soon Zhaoyang feasted the guests on the side of the water abyss, I don't know who shouted that there were fish in the water, everyone went to see the excitement, and after returning to the banquet, he and Shibi disappeared. At that time, it was suspected that it was stolen by the doorman Zhang Yi, so Zhang Yi was tortured, but he was a hard bone, so there was no result. Zhang Yi was humiliated by this, and held a grudge, so he left Chu and entered Wei in a fit of anger, and then entered Qin, and Queen Qin Huiwen was ten years old, worshiping as the prime minister of Qin, but he lobbied all the countries to join Qin and turn his back on Qi, and then entered Chu as an envoy to disintegrate the Qi-Chu alliance. After detaining King Huai of Chu and Keyingdu, he took all the land in Chu and Hanzhong, and finally had to take revenge.
Later, this bi was obtained by the eunuch of Zhao State, and was taken by King Zhao Huiwen as his own. King Qin Zhao heard it, "Suicide note King Zhao, willing to invite Yi Bi with fifteen cities", at that time, Qin was strong and Zhao was weak, and King Zhao was afraid of offering Bi and could not get his city, so he was in a dilemma. Lin Xiangru invited himself to Qin, and after offering the bi, he saw that the king of Qin had no intention of paying for the city, but fought for the court, and would rather die than disgrace the mission, and threatened to throw the bi, which finally caused the king of Qin to compromise, which is the complete return to Zhao that primary school students know. But what I'm going to tell is the next story, and the person who cast the jade seal of the country is Qin Shi Huang.
In the nineteenth year of the reign of King Qin, Qin Po Zhao and He's Bi went to Qin Shi Huang. Not long after, the world was unified, and King Yingzheng of Qin was renamed emperor. Ordered Li Si seal book "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" eight characters, Xianyang jade worker Wang Sun Shou will be and the family of the bi fine grinding, carved for the seal. This is the heirloom jade seal.
It is rumored that in the 28th year of Qin Shi Huang, 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 presented the national seal again. Strange to say, since then, he has changed hands with the country no less than a dozen times, and he has tasted the pain of ups and downs. So, according to me, this jade seal was re-imitated by someone, and it is not the one that Qin Shi Huang threw into the lake, but thinking about it on the other hand, it is hard to say whether this Qin Shi Huang has lost it or not, after all, this is wild history!
In the winter of the first year of the special Qin prince, Pei Gong Liu Bangjun was on the throne, and the son of the prodigal son was kneeling and holding the jade seal and offering it to Xianyang. The seal of the country was returned to the Han Dynasty. In December of the eighth year of AD, Wang Mang, a relative of the Western Han Dynasty, established a new dynasty on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and the seal was hidden in the Empress Dowager of Changle Palace. Emperor Jianxing recklessly sent his brother Wang Shun to ask for it, and the queen mother was very angry and had a dispute, 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 Wang Mang was defeated and killed, and the captain of the Praetorian Guard, Gong Bin, passed on the national seal, tended to Wan, and dedicated it to the first emperor Liu Xuan. In the first three years, the Red Eyebrow Army killed Liu Xuan and established Liu Penzi. Later, Liu Penzi defeated Yiyang and handed over the national seal to Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. 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. ”
"Are you saying that this heirloom jade seal has disappeared?" Guan Zheng couldn't help but feel very surprised.
The old man said: "What I'm talking about is wild history, maybe it happened, maybe it didn't happen." I said, do you want to listen to the story? ”
"Let's ......" Guan Zheng stopped Brother Chuan and said, "Listen to it, you can say it." ”
"When it came to the emperor, there was a small soldier who saw that there were colorful clouds in a well in the Zhen Palace in the south of the city, so he made people enter the well, and saw that the palace maid who committed suicide in the well tied a small box around her neck, and the box was hidden in the jade seal of the country. Sun Jianru obtained the treasure and hid it in his wife Wu's place. As the saying goes, you can't stay for a long time when it's hot, and people will catch up with you. After that, the national seal had to be returned to the Han family.
In the first year of Emperor Yankang of the Han Dynasty, Cao Pi built Wei, which was to engrave the word "Great Wei by the Han Dynasty" on the shoulder of the national seal, in order to prove that it was not a "usurpation of the Han Dynasty", but it was actually intended to cover up. 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". After about 20 years, it was passed on to Ran Wei, and then Ran Wei begged for the rescue of the Eastern Jin army, and the seal was deceived by the Jin generals, and sent to the capital Jiankang overnight with 300 fine horses.
During the Southern Dynasties, the seal of the country went through four generations of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen. In the ninth year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen of Sui unified China, and the seal of the country entered the Sui Palace. After the death of Sui, Empress Xiao and Emperor Sun Zhengdao fled into the Mobei Turks with the national seal.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Taizong Li Shimin carved a new one by himself because he did not have a jade seal of the country. In the same year, Empress Xiao and Emperor Sun Zhengdao returned to the Central Plains, and the seal of the country was returned to Li Tang, and Taizong was too happy. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and Zhu Quanzhong abolished Emperor Tang Ai, seized the national seal, and built the Later Liang. Later, Li Cunmiao 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.
When Guo Wei, Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, he couldn't pass on the national seal, but he had no choice but to engrave the emperor's divine treasure and other seals, one could be lost, so it was good to get two, so it was passed on to the Northern Song Dynasty. During the time of Zhezong of the Northern Song Dynasty, a farmer named Duan Yi said that he found the seal of the country when he was plowing the field and sent it to the imperial court. According to the records of the previous dynasty, thirteen scholars believed that it was the seal of the first emperor. However, people of insight in the government and the opposition are suspicious of its hypocrisy. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Huizong was very elegant, and engraved the seal in ten directions, and the people of the time had the ridicule of painting snakes to add feet, in fact, Huizong seemed to have the deep meaning of diluting the status of the national seal. Since one is easy to lose and two are easy to break, then make ten or eight.
During the reign of Song Jingkang, the Jin soldiers broke through Bianliang, the second emperor of Huiqin was plundered, and the "Seal of the Kingdom" was plundered by the Dajin State, and then disappeared. The jade seal of the country suddenly appeared in Dadu, and was bought and sold in the bazaar for the power minister Boyan ordered someone to buy. I said this is a bunch of fools, can that thing be robbed? It must be fake. Boyan once smoothed out all the seals of the past dynasties confiscated by the Mengyuan and distributed them to the princes and ministers to engrave private seals. The jade seal of the country is also afraid of being in it and will suffer accidents. ”
Brother Chuan said regretfully: "After all, this national seal is not the one of Qin Shi Huang!" ”
"The ghost only knows if it's Qin Shi Huang's, maybe it's, maybe it's not!" The old man spoke very funny.
"Isn't this a waste of feelings!" Brother Chuan is also straightforward.
The old man rubbed his chin sullenly and said, "Actually, I think that may be true." ”
Guan Zheng instantly became interested and said, "What you said is interesting, maybe what do you mean?" What you say upside down! ”
"Well, this one!"
