Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 813 Seven Seals of the Qin and Han Dynasties

In the Huagai Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little concerned:

"How could our emperor not be the leader with his sword?"

Zhu Biao was familiar with his father's inexplicable desire to win, and immediately analyzed:

"Most likely, for future generations, the imperial seal will be hard to find traces of."

As if echoing what Zhu Biao said, at the same time, the light curtain also spoke:

[When the word "manifesto" is mentioned, what do you think of first?

Chen Lin's Manifesto against Cao Cao? Luo Binwang's Manifesto against Wu Zetian?

When it comes to it, it feels like a note before the two sides start fighting, but in ancient times, a manifesto was a kind of document or proclamation of the feudal government, and its regular nature was to summon or inform, as well as to denounce or expose crimes, etc.

Strictly speaking, the articles written by Chen Lin and Luo Binwang are not formal manifestos. The most famous manifesto in history should be the "Edict to the Central Plains" issued by Zhu Yuanzhang before the Northern Expedition, which is said to have been drafted by Song Lian. The eight words "expel the barbarians and restore China" that everyone is familiar with come from this manifesto.

This is a bit far-fetched, but referring to Zhu Yuanzhang's "Edict to the Central Plains", we can also have a general summary of the role of manifestos. Simply put, it is the highest standard of government announcements.

The "Xinghan Edict" in front of us is similar. From the beginning, "Edict to the people of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty", we can know that it is to be announced to the world. In the middle, it briefly describes the process of unrest from "Since the thief Dong... the thief Cao surrendered", and finally closely follows the key point of the article "The Han Dynasty has been restored, and the old capital has been returned". Hmm... Why does it feel like a manifesto written by a big guy for "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital"? 】

In Yecheng, Kong Ming smiled. He wrote this manifesto, and he was filled with emotion when writing it. He could not help but recite the "Chushi Biao" silently, expressing his grief for the Prime Minister Zhuge who fell in Wuzhangyuan. Therefore, this manifesto was inevitably linked to the "Chushi Biao", which was also a distant comparison.

The younger generation could see that it made Kong Ming a little happy.

However, at this time, the screen on the screen directly skipped the text, and the attention was focused on the seven seals at the end of the text.

[But it should be said that the if line opened by the boss for the Three Kingdoms is not bad.

But if you want to be illiterate, the most attentive part of this manifesto is the seven seals at the end of the text, namely the "Qin and Han Seven Seals".

Since the first emperor in ancient times, the emperor's "six seals of the imperial carriage" belonged to the emperor's default seal system.

Simply put, there were six seals belonging to the emperor in ancient times, divided into two sets, namely the three seals of the emperor and the three seals of the emperor.

This is only six seals, so why is it called the seven seals of the Qin and Han Dynasties? Of course, it is because there is also the most important imperial seal.

Everyone knows the legend of the imperial seal in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Let's make it short. After the big fool Yuan Shu was defeated during the Three Kingdoms period, Xu Yu, the governor of Jingzhou, took the imperial seal and gave it to Liu Xie, the Emperor Xian of Han.

Cao Cao killed Cao Pi and usurped the Han Dynasty. After getting the imperial seal from Liu Xie, in order to show the will of heaven, he engraved "Wei Shou Han's imperial seal" on the shoulder of the seal. At least in historical materials, there are traces to this.

But then from the Yongjia Rebellion to the unification of the Sui Dynasty, at least three imperial seals appeared in this period of history. The imperial seal that the Sui Dynasty finally got was already difficult to distinguish between true and false.

After the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the founding of the Tang Dynasty got two imperial seals. One was said to be robbed by Yu Wenzhi after killing Yang Guang, and eventually fell into the hands of Dou Jiande, who was chopped by Li Shimin; the other was brought by Empress Xiao when she returned to the Tang Dynasty. She said that Yu Wenzhi did not get the jade seal after killing Yang Guang, and it was hidden by her.

But as the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty burned himself and the Heirloom Seal in a fire, the Heirloom Seal, whether true or false, was lost in history, leaving only legends in the history books.

Because of the existence of the six seals system, the emperors of the Qin and Han dynasties did not use the Heirloom Seal for most of the time, because this thing was almost a ritual vessel of the highest standard. This also led to the fact that after the whereabouts of the Heirloom Seal were unknown, we still cannot find a real seal of the Heirloom Seal.

This Qin and Han seven seals made by the boss can only be said to be an unattainable dream for archaeologists, but if the Han Dynasty can be successfully revived, it should not be too much to stamp seven seals, right? 】    〖It is definitely not too much, the three revival of the Ji Han Dynasty is a rebirth of Nirvana, which is almost equivalent to the founding of a new country.

However, paper was not used on a large scale in the Han Dynasty. Even if the Heirloom Seal was really used, how could it be stamped on bamboo slips?

The standard of the Qin and Han dynasties was to roll up the bamboo slips, put them in a box and tie them up with ropes. The box had a special depression for placing the knot. After tying them up, they were covered with clay and stamped on the clay. Don't underestimate the confidentiality awareness of the ancients, brother. This is also one of the reasons why the Han seals were very small.

Referring to the "Yangling Lingyin" seal in the Xi'an Museum, the official seals of the Qin and Han dynasties actually had many uses.

Cao Pi really knew how to destroy things. He had to engrave words on a good seal of the throne. Didn't he also say that the dynasty was not eternal? Did he say one thing and one thing?

You should be glad that this thing didn't fall into the hands of Qianlong.

It's okay. Qianlong would think that this thing was not in good condition and was fake. 〗

Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips, and the slight dissatisfaction he had before had disappeared. After all, he still had a common language with the way later generations cared about the seal of the throne.

Although getting the imperial seal would not change anything, it would undoubtedly make the Ming Dynasty's Yingtian theory more convincing, and some people who were originally concerned about the Hu Yuan might be more likely to switch sides...right?

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was slightly disappointed, and Zhu Biao saw it:

"Dad, if you are concerned, I will ask scholars to study ancient books and read rumors, and maybe they can find some clues about the real thing."

The emperor was moved, but he shook his head in the end:

"It is a blessing to get this thing, and it would be putting the cart before the horse to waste people's money to find it, after all..."

"Even if that Jieli gets this thing, can a mere thief really be able to devour the giant Tang Dynasty?"

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin was talking to his son with an obvious smile on his face, and his words were mostly nonchalant:

"So what if it's true? So what if it's false? The people's will is determined by destiny. If a piece of jade can determine the direction of destiny, then Yuan Shu, not Cao Pi, should have succeeded the Han Dynasty."

"The Qin Dynasty made this seal but it only lasted for two generations, and we, the people at the end of the Tang Dynasty, could only hold the seal and burn themselves on fire. What destiny can we say?"

While Li Shimin chuckled, there was also a rare hint of sadness in his tone, and Li Chengqian seemed to have some realization.

Liu Xie of Yecheng was not too touched because Liu Bei had informed him about his death in advance, but even so, he shook his head and said:

"Cao Pi usurped the Han..."

He had met this Cao Zihuan. At that time, he only saw his literary talent and grace, and never thought that he would become the king of subjugation.

He also never thought that the imperial seal that could be seen every day could be divided into three and have such an ups and downs.

On the contrary, Fu Shou beside him was rather disapproving of this:

"Later generations lamented how foolish Yuan Shu was, but judging from the seal, there were so many people who were like Yuan Shu."
