Chapter 463: The Jade Seal of the Country
Just when Shi Xin and his subordinates were working hard for the development of the three states of Qingji, and forgot to sleep and eat, there were also undercurrents in various parts of the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Lubing surrounded Chengdu, and Liu Zhang could not defend it with the real dragon shield. Zhang Song, who was a traitor seeking glory, finally acted, drunk Liu Zhang one day, stole the real dragon staff, and put Zhang Lu into the city.
On the day of entering the city, Zhang Ren, Fa Zheng and others resisted, Zhang Lu couldn't stand it at first, and called out the golden armor soldiers again at a critical juncture, and the Chengdu army was in chaos, and the victory and defeat were reversed instantly.
Zhang Lu quickly entered Chengdu and captured Liu Zhang alive. Remembering that although Liu Zhang was mediocre, he had always been at fault, and killing him was even more likely to cause public anger, so he only demoted him to a civilian and took him into custody.
Zhang Ren, Fa Zheng and the veteran Yan Yan escaped, and the rest of the people were all caught by Zhang Lu. Those who wish to surrender will be given official positions immediately, and those who will not surrender will be imprisoned until they are willing to surrender, and in the end they have become his subordinates.
Since then, Zhang Lu has officially become the new master of Yizhou, appointing Zhang Song and Yan Pu as the left and right military divisions, and the deputy military divisions are Huang Quan and Liu Ba, all of whom are Liu Zhang's people except Yan Pu.
His younger brother Zhang Wei was a general and commanded the whole army. There are also many generals under him, Zhang Yi, Lei Tong, Wu Lan, Wu Yi, and Meng Da, all of whom are Liu Zhang's original subordinates.
Zhang Lu has another set of construction of prefectures and counties, which is similar to Shi Xin's approach, which is the integration of politics and religion. He is the leader of the Orthodox Church, the leader of the sect, and he has a knack for demagoguery. Since the time of Liu Yan, he has worked hard and developed secretly, and has always had a huge influence on the people of Shuzhong.
This influence allowed him to quickly stabilize the situation in Yizhou and smoothly transition to a military bloc led by himself.
The war in Yizhou came to an end, but Yangzhou and Jingzhou have been fighting continuously and fighting each other. Sun Quan and Liu Biao can be said to be feuding, the two don't like each other, and vow to fight to the death.
Sun Quan worshiped the young Lu Xun as the governor, Lu Su as the military advisor, Tai Shici as the general, and Gan Ning, Lu Meng, Ding Feng, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, Ling Tong and Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao four veterans, it can be said that there are many talents. In terms of internal affairs, there are Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin and others.
On Liu Biao's side, Kuai Yue Kuai Liang is the military advisor, Huang Zu is the general, and there are three fierce generals under his command: Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Wenpin. plus Zhang Yun, Cai Mao, Huo Jun and others, they are not inferior. It also unearthed the Ma Liang Ma Tan brothers, Yi nationality and others.
Due to the stalemate of the war, it was expected that there would not be much change for a while, so Sun Quan explained everything and took Lu Xun back to Shouchun.
Deep in the Sun Mansion.
The two sat down separately and chatted a few words, Sun Quan got up and pulled out two things from the mechanism under the bed.
The left hand is the lifeblood of Shouchun and even the entire Yangzhou, the real dragon staff. The object on the right hand is wrapped in a layer of brocade, and it can be seen that it is a square object.
Since the two can be kept together, the importance is self-evident. Lu Xun had already seen the real dragon staff, and at this time he was attracted by the object of his right hand.
Sun Quan carefully placed the true dragon staff on the table, and then carefully placed the object in his right hand next to it, and then sat down.
"Bo Yan, guess what this is?"
"This is ......" Lu Xun's eyes sparkled, and his head was running rapidly, "Is it really a jade seal?"
Sun Quan was taken aback, "Why did Bo Yan say this?"
"Did I really guess correctly?" Lu Xun suppressed the excitement in his heart, adjusted his breathing, and then explained, "After Dong Zhuo uncovered the fake jade seal of the emperor in Weiyang Palace, people continued to speculate about the whereabouts of the real jade seal. Sima Yi even said that whoever wants to get the jade seal and hand it over to the imperial court will be rewarded. Some ministers in the court speculated that the jade seal was lost in the chaos in the palace that year. Later, it was confirmed that what was lost was the Xuanyang Divine Skill of the first emperor, which was stolen by Cao Cao, and the Yuzhen Order, which could command the Yuzhen Sect, was stolen by Yuan Shao. The whereabouts of the only jade seal are still unknown. ”
Lu Xun sighed and continued: "Many people began to follow the vine and guess that the jade seal must have fallen into the hands of a certain Beijing official back then. Now rumors are spreading, among which the old man is the most suspicious. Combined with the attitude of the lord and the shape of this object, I dared to guess. ”
Sun Quan sighed: "Bo Yan is thoughtful and thoughtful, which really opened my eyes. Yes, this is the jade seal. ”
After speaking, he untied the five-layer brocade silk wrapped on it, revealing the jade seal inside.
"Bo Yan must not laugh, the jade seal is too valuable, I have to be cautious. ”
"Why did the lord say this? If it was a boy, it might have to be surrounded by ten floors. Lu Xun's words sounded very pleasing to the ear.
To be honest, the jade seal is just a seal carved from a beautiful jade, and the material is of course of the highest quality, but when it comes to the rise and fall of a dynasty or a regime, it is a bit exaggerated.
Sun Jian's obsession with jade seals not only continued from his previous life to this life, but also continued to his son Sun Quan after his death. If it was Sun Ce who was in power, with his confident character, he might exchange the jade seal for some political capital, for example, in his previous life, he was dedicated to Yuan Shu and asked him to lend troops to himself to invade Jiangdong.
But Sun Quan is not Sun Ce, he feels that there must be some reason why his father kept the jade seal by his side without telling everyone. He was going to find out why.
As Lu Xun said, the chaos in the palace back then was stolen with the jade seal, but it was the Xuanyang Divine Skill and the Jade True Order, isn't the jade seal much more precious than them?
Therefore, Sun Quan has always stubbornly believed that there must be some secret hidden in the jade seal, and his father must have risked his life to steal it home from the Luoyang Palace, in order to crack the secret inside. Sun Quan was convinced of his speculation. Maybe his father still knew some information about the jade seal, but before he could explain, he was killed by Sima Yi. Good Mood Literature Network
Sima Yi was not only the murderer of Sun Jian, he also knew that Sun Quan had stolen the jade seal, and teamed up with Lu Xun and others to frame Shi Xin and drive away his eldest brother Sun Ce.
But Sima Yi didn't blackmail Sun Quan because of this, and the jade seal didn't want to go back, and even spread words like "whoever wants to hand over the jade seal will be rewarded". He only took Sun Jian's body. Obviously, he was planning something, and Sun Quan knew that sooner or later he would come to the door and blackmail himself with his own handle.
The news of Shi Xinhao's seizure of Jizhou and Youzhou has already spread all over the world, and the eldest brother Sun Ce has done a good job under him, and sooner or later they will deal with themselves.
Therefore, Sun Quan wanted to accelerate the increase of his strength and win more capital before the battle with Sima Yi and Shi Xin. Unraveling the secret of the jade seal is a crucial step.
"Since the lord believes that there is a secret in the jade seal, has he found anything unusual for such a long time?"
Sun Quan said dejectedly: "No." "But I have a gut feeling that the secret must still be hidden inside." ”
Lu Xun frowned and said: "The old lord has been collecting jade seals for several years, and it is estimated that he has already tried many methods. The lord has been working hard for a few months, right? But I have never found out, will this be ...... at all?"
His face was embarrassed, and the implication was that maybe this was really just a jade seal, and Sun Jian and Sun Quan were thinking too much. It's just that Sun Quan's words are too categorical, and his eyes reveal fanaticism, and he doesn't want to hit him.
"Why don't you take a look at it?" Sun Quan stared at Lu Xun with a pair of blue eyes, and suddenly smiled, "Maybe when you touch it with your own hands, you will feel the difference." ”
"Yes!"
Lu Xun swallowed his saliva and touched it with a slight tremor in his hands. After all, this is a jade seal, symbolizing the supreme imperial power, and the people who can see it with his own eyes are all historical celebrities, let alone touching it with his own hands? Although he believes that the secret on the jade seal is nothing but nothing, he still has a heart of awe.
The tentacles are warm and moist, which is essentially different from ordinary jade. The square radius is four inches, and the five dragons are handed over to New York, and the front is engraved with the eight seal characters of Li Si's book "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang".
The workmanship is fine, simple and atmospheric, and it is not ordinary at first glance. Only one corner is missing, inlaid with gold, everyone knows that this is because Wang Mang asked Wang Zhengjun for it, and fell it in anger and broke it.
Lu Xun checked repeatedly, and a strange feeling came to his heart, but he couldn't explain it clearly, and he seemed to be slowly indulging in it.
"Bo Yan, Bo Yan ......"
Lu Xun heard Sun Quan's call, Fang Shi was shocked to realize that beads of sweat had oozed from his forehead, and he hurriedly put down the jade seal, gathered his mind, and came to his senses after a while.
"How?
Seeing Sun Quan's longing eyes, Lu Xun fell into contemplation again.
Stripped of the meaning given by people, there is really nothing special about jade seals. Lu Xun boasted that his intelligence was not weak to others, and he came to this conclusion after pondering for a long time.
But he didn't want to attack Sun Quan, if he hadn't exhausted his plans, Sun Quan wouldn't have found himself and took out the deepest secrets to share with him. He was considering how to make Sun Quan accept reality.
But as soon as he met Sun Quan's eager gaze, the words retracted when they came to his mouth.
"Well~ The jade seal is really not a mortal thing, as long as I hold it in my hand, my heart will shake, and I can't calm down for a long time. But when it comes to what secrets, ......"
Sun Quan interrupted him and said, "Bo Yan, there must be a secret in it, but we haven't figured it out yet." ”
Lu Xun was about to be persuaded again, but Sun Quan's face had already been pulled down, and he had an angry expression. He has always been kind and pleasant, especially when dealing with a confidant minister like Lu Xun, he can't wait to show them his heart, this is the first time he has shown displeasure.
Lu Xun hurriedly confessed, bowed his head and pondered.
"It's not a good thing to get too obsessed with something and get caught up in it. Looking at the appearance of the lord, it is already difficult to extricate himself, and it must be solved as soon as possible. The best way is to let him destroy the jade seal with his own hands. ”
Lu Xun would not be stupid enough to do it himself, it was a dead end, his hands fiddled with the jade seal again, and a plan slowly came to mind.
"Bo Yan, have you thought of anything?"
This is the first time Sun Quan has asked the same thing, and Lu Xun finally had a different reaction.
"The most special thing about the whole jade seal is here. Lu Xun suddenly stopped flipping the jade seal, and pointed his finger at the gold with the missing corner, "Have you ever thought about removing the gold and seeing what is inside?"
Sun Quan's heart skipped a beat, "Take it apart......?" Won't it take a risk?"
