Chapter 237 The Imperial Seal

The thing Jiang Hongfei took out was green as blue, warm and lustrous. There were five plates of chi buttons on its back, and there were small holes between the buttons for threading. The head of the jade chi was also found, which was as white as paste and warm. Its square shape was Four inches, with one corner missing, it is inlaid with gold. It is gold inlaid with jade. On the front, there are eight insect and bird seal characters "Ordered by Heaven to live forever and forever". On the shoulder, there are the official characters "Da Wei receives the national seal of the Han Dynasty" and on the right side. The four characters "Destiny Stone" are engraved on it.

The national jade seal! ! !

Those who know the history of the Imperial Seal know that when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, he asked his younger brother Wang Shun to go to the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun to ask for the Imperial Seal. Wang Zhengjun was furious, cursed Wang Shun, and refused to hand over the imperial seal. Wang Shun pressed repeatedly, but Wang Zhengjun had no choice but to throw the Chuanguo Jade Seal on the ground, and a corner of the Chuanguo Jade Seal was broken. After Wang Mang ascended the throne, he hired craftsmen to repair the imperial seal. The craftsmen used gold inlay technology to fill up the broken gap on the Chuanguo Jade Seal. From then on, the Chuanguo Jade Seal was also called gold-inlaid jade.

Later, the Jade Seal of the State was circulated many times, and this symbol of gold inlaid with jade became one of the signs to identify the authenticity of the Jade Seal of the State.

Also, in the first year of Yankang, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was forced to "abdicate". Cao Pi established the Wei Dynasty and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Huangchu. They ordered someone to carve the official inscription "The Great Wei received the Imperial Seal of the Han Dynasty" on the shoulder of the jade seal passed down by the Han Dynasty to prove that he was not "usurping the Han Dynasty".

Later Zhao Shile destroyed the former Zhao and obtained the jade seal of Fang Chuanguo. He was even more original and inscribed "Shishi of Destiny" on the right side.

Based on these known characteristics, no one can find anything wrong with the jade seal Jiang Hongfei took out.

Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing all asked in unison: "How come you have this thing?!!!"

Jiang Hongfei placed the Jade Seal of the Kingdom on the table so that Fang La and others could continue to look at the Jade Seal of the Kingdom of Fang, and said at the same time:

"I have a brother named Shi Qian, nicknamed "Flea on the Drum", who is the best thief in the world. A year ago, the old thief Gao Qiu tried to seize the "Yan Ling Circle", the family heirloom of my other brother, the golden gunner Xu Ning. "Jin Jia", and assassinated brother Xu Ning to Salmon Island. On the one hand, I personally went to Salmen Island to rescue brother Xu Ning, and on the other hand, I sent brother Shi Qian to retrieve the golden armor of Yan Lingquan. I didn't want Shi Qian to My brother, who is a master of arts, was so bold that he stole all the dignitaries from Bianliang City in Tokyo. Finally, he went to the palace and brought me many gifts, one of which is this imperial seal."

After hearing what Jiang Hongfei said, Fang La and others were all shocked beyond measure!

"Shiqian?"

"Stealing the jade seal?"

This Fang Chuanguo Jade Seal was actually stolen from the Zhao Song Palace? ! ! !

Qiao Daoqing remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, and said: "Last August, a brother who came to Longhu Mountain from Tokyo said that a shocking case occurred in the capital. A group of thieves killed many people in the capital. It was stolen from the homes of high-ranking officials. Later, the gang of thieves went to the imperial palace and lost something. The capital was banned for seven days. Kaifeng Prefecture failed to arrest them. Not even a person was seen. In the end, Kaifeng Prefecture Yin was removed from office and the matter ended."

Li Zhuze said: "During the reign of Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty, a farmer named Duan Yi found a jade seal passed down from the country while plowing the fields and sent it to the imperial court. Later, thirteen great scholars including Cai Jing, based on various researches based on records from the previous dynasty, determined that it was made by the First Emperor. The jade seal passed down the country. Zhezong was overjoyed and named it "the treasure given by heaven to pass down the country." He also changed the reign name to Yuan Fu. At the time of Huizong, Emperor Daojun was so elegant that he engraved more seals in ten directions."

Jiang Hongfei smiled and said: "I have eight of the ten jade seals here."

As he spoke, Jiang Hongfei waved his hand, and immediately another Bafang Jade Seal appeared on the table.

The eight jade seals are: 'National Treasure', 'Ordained Treasure', 'Emperor's Treasure', 'Emperor's Travel Treasure', 'Emperor's Trust Treasure', 'Emperor's Treasure', 'Emperor's Travel Treasure', 'Emperor's Trust Treasure' '.

Among them, the last six are the Six Seals of the First Emperor, and the combined ones are the Eight Treasures of the Emperor!

This time, Fang La and others fully believed that the jade seals handed down by Jiang Hongfei came from the Zhao Song Palace. Otherwise, Jiang Hongfei would not have had so many jade seals from Zhao Song.

Fang La and others couldn't help but feel thirsty when they looked at the Fang Chuanguo Jade Seal!

This is the national jade seal!

It is said that Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, was ordered by the first emperor Ying Zheng to serve as a token of "imperial power is divinely authorized, orthodox and legal". After the Qin Dynasty, many emperors regarded this seal as a symbol of their talismans and regarded it as a rare treasure.

This imperial seal has been rising and falling for thousands of years, and those who get it all regard themselves as destined. Even a hero like Sun Jian, after getting this imperial seal, behaves abnormally and runs away.

Chen Houtong lamented: "When Taizu of the Song Dynasty ascended the throne, it was because he did not get this important national treasure, so he engraved the imperial seal on himself, and was laughed at by the people in the world as the "white emperor". This shows the status of this thing in the minds of the world, Daojun Emperor If this treasure is lost, it would be a trivial matter if word spreads about it and people ridicule it; if it is wildly spread that it means the fate of the country has changed and its strength has been exhausted, it will be a big deal."

After hearing Chen Houtong's words, Fang La and others' eyes brightened even more.

Moreover, with this jade seal that has been passed down from the country, if you go up to a high place and call it, you will definitely have a lot of followers.

Let's put it this way, if Fang La gets this Fang Chuanguo Jade Seal, then his uprising can definitely be described as powerful, and if Tian Hu or Wang Qing can get this Fang Chuanuo Jade Seal, their strength will definitely expand rapidly!

It can be said that no matter who gets this Fang Chuanguo Jade Seal, the benefits it brings will be of endless use to that person.

Is it possible that this Fang Chuanguo Jade Seal is fake?

In fact, it is not impossible.

The real imperial seal was thrown to the bottom of Dongting Lake during the First Emperor's southern tour. Sima Qian had already recorded this.

Eight years after Shen Xi, the jade seal presented to the God of Water was probably forged by Li Si!

If we really judge whether it is true or not, the jade seal passed down by the Queen of Qin may be a forgery!

To take a step back, even if this Fang Chuanguo Jade Seal was actually salvaged back then, it would be difficult to tell whether it is genuine or not after thousands of years of ups and downs.

The last time this imperial seal disappeared was when Li Congke carried it and burned himself on the Xuanwu Tower more than 200 years ago.

Therefore, the origin of this Fang Chuanguo Jade Seal is even more suspicious!

Of course, this is purely based on the authenticity of the jade seal itself. As for other meanings, it cannot be covered by a simple sentence of authenticity!

Moreover, when this imperial jade seal first appeared in the Zhezong Dynasty of Song Dynasty, knowledgeable people in the government and the public were suspicious of its authenticity.

But then again, the jade seal of this country is said to be pure green in color, with dragons, earthworms, birds and fish as the inscriptions, and it is said to be the "talisman of the emperor's orders". The jade is very hard and cannot be cured except by Kunwu knife and toad fat. It is absolutely perfect in Xuan's method. It's really not like today's things.

Therefore, even if this Fang Chuanguo Jade Seal is fake, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can imitate.

All right.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether the Fang Chuanguo Jade Seal in front of you is actually true or false!

Because it has been verified by Cai Jing, thirteen great scholars of the Zhao and Song dynasties, based on previous records, and has been identified as the imperial seal made by the First Emperor. In other words, the official has confirmed that this imperial seal is authentic.

And Jiang Hongfei's imperial seal is the one officially recognized by the Zhao and Song Dynasty.

Therefore, even if this Fang Chuan Guo Jade Seal is essentially fake, it has now become real, and people all over the world believe that this Fang Chuan Guo Jade Seal is genuine.

Tian Hu's big eyes rolled, and then he reached out to grab the Jade Seal of the Kingdom. At the same time, he said, "Brother, I agree to exchange the Jade Seal of the Kingdom for Hebei!"

The moment Tian Hu was about to touch the Chuanguo Jade Seal, Jiang Hongfei grabbed Tian Hu's wrist. In the next moment, the Chuanguo Jade Seal and the eight directions Jade Seal disappeared.

Seeing this, Tian Hu said solemnly: "Why, my dear brother, could it be that he went back on his word?"

Jiang Hongfei said with a smile: "I haven't made it clear yet, why are you so anxious, brother?"

Jiang Hongfei gave Tian Hu another reassurance: "Don't worry, in all these years of walking around the world, I, Jiang Yan, have never spoken without counting?"

Thinking of Jiang Hongfei's good reputation, Tian Hu suppressed the eagerness in his heart and said, "What do you want to make clear?"

Jiang Hongfei said: "If I give you this imperial seal, you and your people are not allowed to come to Hebei before the complete destruction of Zhao and Song Dynasties, including Damingfu, Kaidefu, Hejianfu, Cangzhou, Qingzhou, Hebei East Road, Xiongzhou, Dizhou, Binzhou, Dezhou, Bozhou, Jizhou, Mozhou, Bazhou, Enzhou, Yongjing Army, Xin'an Army, Baoding Army, as well as Zhendingfu, Huaizhou, Weizhou and Xiangzhou on Hebei West Road , Cizhou, Mingzhou, Xingzhou, Zhaozhou, Shenzhou, Qizhou, Dingzhou, Baozhou, Guangxin Army, Ansu Army, Shun'an Army, Yongning Army, and Anli Army."

Tian Hu was too inaccurate, so Jiang Hongfei had to tell him clearly to prevent him from taking advantage of loopholes.

Tian Hu agreed happily: "Okay, I promise you."

Jiang Hongfei said nothing.

Tian Hu knew that Jiang Hongfei didn't believe him, so he stretched out three fingers and swore: "I, Tian Hu, swear that if brother Jiang Yanxian gives me the imperial seal, before Zhao Song is completely destroyed, I and my men will never When I come to Hebei, I will never touch those states and counties that Brother Jiang Yan just mentioned. If I violate this oath, I, Tian Hu, will suffer misfortune, get sick and die!"

After listening to Tian Hu's oath, Jiang Hongfei took out the imperial seal again.

Wang Qing saw this and advised: "Brother, think twice!"

Jiang Hongfei looked at Wang Qing.

Wang Qing immediately said: "As long as the elder brother gives the imperial seal to the younger brother, and the younger brother is willing to send troops to help the elder brother destroy Fatty Tian, ​​the younger brother will not take away any land east of the river, and all will belong to the older brother. In the future, you and I will draw the river and rule it, how about it?" "

As soon as Wang Qing said this, before Tian Hu could get angry, Fang La said with a sullen face: "Wang Sao! You really don't take Manichaeism seriously. Why teach you and Jiang Yanxian to draw a big river and rule it?" ?What about me, Manichae?”

Wang Qing reacted quickly, and he immediately made up for it: "I mean, I will draw the river and rule it with brother Jiang Yan on the middle road, and you will continue on the east path to draw the river and rule it as you have agreed with brother Jiang Yan. We will not interfere with each other. I Is it wrong to say this?”

——In Chinese history, there were three main routes for the northern regime to move southward. The first is the eastern route, which takes the Jianghuai Plain to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and reaches the south of the Yangtze River; the second is the middle route, which takes Nanyang, Xiangyang, and Jingzhou to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River; the third is the western route, which takes Guanzhong, Hanzhong to Shu, and then From the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, it flows down the river and surrounds the south of the Yangtze River.

If divided according to these three lines, there is no problem with Wang Qing's repair, and Fang La can't say anything.

Fang La turned his head and advised Jiang Hongfei: "Brother Jiang Yan, the national jade seal and even the treasure, should not be given away easily. You should be careful!"

In fact, Fang La also wanted to pass on the Jade Seal of the State, but he had not yet revolted and had no leverage, and he could not snatch the Seal of the State from Jiang Hongfei, so he could only hope that Jiang Hongfei, who did not value the Seal of the State, could do it again. Keep the Imperial Seal for a while, and then exchange it with Jiang Hongfei for the Imperial Seal after he has some leverage.

Unexpectedly, although Wang Qing and Fang La both prevented Jiang Hongfei from handing the Imperial Seal to Tian Hu, Jiang Hongfei still sent the Imperial Seal to Tian Hu and said: "A person cannot stand without faith. And brother Tian Hu is in a difficult situation. , Zhao Song's Western Army is indeed difficult to defeat, if he does not have the Chuanguo Jade Seal to increase his momentum, how can he develop westward?"

Tian Hu reacted very quickly. He snatched the imperial seal and stuffed it into his arms, and then said, "Jiang Yanxian is still very generous! Unlike some two villains who look down on others!"

Fang La and Wang Qing knew that Tian Hu was scolding them, but they blocked Tian Hu's good deeds first, so they had to listen when Tian Hu scolded them.

Otherwise, both sides will take action.

Of course, the premise is that Jiang Hongfei lets them do it.

And obviously, Jiang Hongfei couldn't let them do it.

Therefore, Fang La and Wang Qing could only say "hum" in unison!

Tian Hu ignored Fang La and Wang Qing, who were obviously jealous of him, and said to Jiang Hongfei proudly: "Don't worry, dear brother, I will make preparations immediately after I return to Longhu Mountain. After the New Year, I will Crossing the Yellow River to develop towards Shaanxi, the Western Army of Zhao and Song, Tian Hu, blocked it for everyone!"

This is actually the real reason why Jiang Hongfei gave the imperial seal to Tian Hu.

The Western Army of Zhao Song is too difficult to deal with. It is impossible for the current Tian Hu to stop the Western Army of Zhao Song, even if half of the elite Western Army of Zhao Song is transferred by Zhao Ji.

But if Tian Hu relied on Chuanguo Jade Seal to grow stronger, the situation might be completely different.

Seeing that Jiang Hongfei really gave the Imperial Seal to Tian Hu, Fang La and Wang Qing were filled with regret. They were both thinking about how they could snatch the Imperial Seal from Tian Hu.

At this time, Jiang Hongfei flipped his hand, and the "mandated treasure" jade seal appeared in Jiang Hongfei's hand.

While Jiang Hongfei was playing with the "mandated treasure" jade seal, he said to Wang Qing: "Brother, how about I trade this square jade seal with you for Jiangzhou?"

This "mandated treasure" jade seal is far less famous than the "mandated treasure" jade seal, but it is the "mandated treasure" jade seal carved by Zhao Kuangyin. If we follow the etiquette of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the "mandated treasure" jade seal actually represents the Zhao Song Dynasty The inheritance of the dynasty.

If Wang Qing obtains this "mandated treasure" jade seal, it will also mean that he is destined to a certain extent.

To be honest, Wang Qing couldn't say whether he made a profit or a loss by exchanging Jiangzhou for this "mandated treasure" jade seal.

But Wang Qing thought that after the news spread that Tian Hu had obtained the imperial seal, heroes from three mountains and five mountains would compete to vote for him. If he didn't have an excuse, he was afraid that those mountaintop and strong men who were not closely connected with him would also go. Surrender to Tian Hu.

In addition, even if Wang Qing gave Jiangzhou to Jiang Hongfei, he still had Hongzhou and could still attack the southeast at the right time.

So Wang Qing said: "As long as brother guarantees that Jiangzhou will not be given to Fang Yao, I will switch with him."

Jiang Hongfei said: "I can only promise you that before Zhao Song is destroyed, I will not give Jiangzhou to anyone easily."

Then, Jiang Hongfei added: "The reason why I gave the imperial seal to brother Tian Hu, and the reason why I asked you for Jiangzhou, is because I hope that the four of us will not have internal strife and work together to destroy the Song Dynasty. If you do not violate this principle, Principle, before Zhao Song is destroyed by us, I will not be an enemy of any of the three of you. And if anyone wants to destroy this major principle, I will definitely help those who abide by this major principle. people."

After understanding what Jiang Hongfei meant, Wang Qing weighed the pros and cons, and then said: "Okay, I'll change!"

Seeing Jiangzhou fall into Jiang Hongfei's hands, Wang Qing must have restrained himself, and Fang La also breathed a sigh of relief.

——In this way, Fang La can revolt with peace of mind.

As for how to get Jiangzhou from Jiang Hongfei or Hongzhou from Wang Qing in the future, that will be decided in the future.

What Fang La never expected was that when others were not paying attention, Jiang Hongfei secretly put the jade seal, Fang's 'Emperor's Treasure', into his hand.

Fang La was overjoyed!

At the same time, Fang La felt increasingly that marrying Fang Baihua and Fang Jinzhi to Jiang Hongfei was his wisest choice.

After Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing all left with satisfaction, Jiang Hongfei waved his hand, and the Imperial Seal and the Eight Treasures of the Emperor appeared on the table one by one...
