Chapter 156: The Emperor's Treasure
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is cold dew, the weather is getting cooler, the night is like ink, and the autumn insects are chirping outside the window. In the study of the governor's yamen, Sun Sui's face was as gloomy as the night outside the window.
At this moment, there is an open notebook on the bookcase, which is the urgent notebook that Sun Sui wrote angrily five days ago, reporting that King Ning harbored thieves and plotted to rebel.
However, the notebook, which was supposed to be sent to the Tongzheng Department in the capital, returned to Sun Sui's hands intact, which was sent back by a eunuch from King Ning's Mansion in the afternoon.
In terms of time, this letter should have not been sent to the capital before it was intercepted by King Ning's people halfway, and it was returned to Sun Sui in its original form, which obviously meant a warning and demonstration.
Sun Sui was both shocked and angry, but helpless, it seems that the future music can no longer go to the post station, so he can only send someone to the capital.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the study, and the voice of the old servant came in: "Master, Xiao Xie is back, just wait outside the door." ”
Sun Sui hurriedly said, "Let him come in!" ”
Xie Erjian pushed the door in response, saluted on one knee and said, "Subordinates see your lordship." ”
Xie Erjian is currently Sun Sui's personal soldier, but at this moment, he is not wearing the costume of a guard, but a black night suit, his hair is still wet, and he is carrying a small bag stained with mud in his hand.
Sun Sui's eyes fell on the small burden in Xie Erjian's hand, and he said happily: "Got it?" ”
Xie Erjian said with a grin: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life!" ”
Sun Sui blurted out: "Okay, this official has a credit for you, what is in this burden?" ”
Xie Erjian said: "How dare subordinates peek at such an important thing, but it's quite heavy to carry, and the adults will know when they open it themselves." ”
Sun Sui smiled and said: "You kid is clever, open it and see, if the old man can't believe it, how can he send you to do this." ”
Xie Erjian smiled, opened the small baggage, took out a piece from it, and said strangely: "Hey, what is this?" Jade? ”
Sun Sui's face changed greatly, he suddenly got up from his seat, walked quickly around the bookcase, took the jade block carved into the shape of a dragon on his back from Xie Erjian's hand, flipped the bottom and looked at it carefully for a while, his face instantly became more solemn.
……
In the room, Xu Jin had just finished bathing and put on the jade-colored shirt that represented the identity of Xiucai, and Xu, who had red lips and white teeth, became even more handsome and elegant.
Xu Jin stroked the soft and smooth long sleeves, and a sense of accomplishment arose in his heart, today, his first stage goal of coming to the Ming Dynasty was finally achieved. With this Xiucai clothes, he can be regarded as breaking away from the civilian class and becoming an official scholar of the Ming Dynasty, enjoying the treatment of not kneeling when seeing officials, not obeying forced labor, and freely passing through all parts of the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Jin couldn't help but think about the embarrassment of the four walls of the family when he first arrived in the Ming Dynasty; I think of the hard days with Xiaowan in the cold winter wax moon phase. At this moment, Xu Jin can't wait to put on his wings and fly to the small fishing village of Ruihong Town, and share the joy of success with Xiaowan's girl.
"Uncle Ten, the governor asked me to go to the study!"
Xu Jinzheng's mind fluttered, and Erniu's foolish thing directly pushed the door and walked in.
Xu Jin said a little helplessly: "Erniu, how many times have you said that you have knocked on the door before coming in." ”
Erniu scratched the back of his head, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I must remember next time, hehe, Uncle Ten's clothes are so handsome." ”
Xu Jin said with a smile: "Okay, patting sycophants is not your forte, take out the water in the bathtub and pour it out." ”
Xu Jin came to Sun Sui's study with ease, and when he saw Xie Erjian dressed in night clothes, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and vaguely guessed.
"Xu Jin has seen Master Sun!" Xu Jin bowed to Sun Sui, who nodded and said, "Xiao Xie, you go down to change first, so as not to catch a cold!" ”
Xie Erjian replied and retreated!
Xu Jin's gaze fell on the white jade seal carved into the shape of a dragon on the bookcase, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping violently, blurting out, "Got the thing?" ”
Sun Sui's eyes were solemn with a hint of excitement, and he nodded: "This thing was secretly fished up by Xiao Xie in the well in the backyard of the mansion, Ziqian, guess what?" ”
Xu Jin's heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "This ...... It can't be a jade seal! ”
Sun Sui didn't speak, picked up the jade seal and put it in ink, covered it the blank paper and picked it up, but saw that there was an extra seal on the paper, and there were four ancient seal characters on it: The Emperor's Treasure.
Xu Jin looked up at Sun Sui suspiciously, and asked, "What is this?" ”
Sun Sui was stunned for a moment: "This is the jade seal that my Emperor Ming uses every day!" ”
Xu Jinqi said: "Shouldn't the jade seal be engraved on it: Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity?" ”
Sun Sui frowned and said: "That is the jade seal of the Qin Dynasty, which has long been lost, and the jade seal of my Ming Emperor is engraved with: the emperor's treasure." ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, and said curtly: "The student is really ...... It's lonely! ”
Sun Sui couldn't help but be speechless, he really wondered if Xu Jin had picked it up, and he didn't even know what I engraved on the jade seal.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Xu Jin, as a traverser, he was too deeply "poisoned" by the TV series of later generations, and he only thought that the emperor's jade seal was printed with "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity".
In fact, only the jade seal of the country is engraved with these eight characters, and this jade seal was carved by Qin Shi Huang with He's bi, as a token of "imperial power, orthodoxy and legitimacy".
Since then, this jade seal has become a treasure of the country, and the founding monarchs of each dynasty have tried their best to get this jade seal, because only when they get the jade seal of the country can they be considered justified, otherwise they are all "unlicensed" Yeluzi emperors.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, he failed to grab the jade seal of the country, so he simply carved more than a dozen in one go, each of which has its own use, among which the "Emperor's Treasure" is the jade seal that the Ming Dynasty emperor used to issue edicts every day, in addition to the "Emperor's Treasure of Fengtian", "Emperor's Treasure", "Emperor's Treasure" and so on.
"Lord Sun, could it be that this jade seal was privately carved by King Ning?" Xu Jin said with a solemn expression.
Sun Sui nodded and said coldly: "Nine times out of ten, it is the jade seal privately carved by the traitor, no wonder the Song Governor was imprisoned by him." The year before last, the Dianbao eunuch of King Ning's Mansion had gone to the capital to report that King Ning had privately engraved the official seal, but King Ning teamed up with the power traitors in the court to suppress the matter.
Later, King Ning also wantonly killed more than 300 eunuchs and guards in the palace, including 60 members of Zhou Yi's family. The official has calculated the time, and the Song Governor's Mansion was imprisoned by King Ning after that, and it is estimated that it has something to do with this matter! ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, now that he has physical evidence, if Song Yifang is added as a witness, then the evidence that King Ning conspired to rebel is conclusive. If the jade seal can be sent to the current Emperor Zhengde, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, should be done playing, right?
"What are you going to do next?" Xu Jin asked.
Sun Sui's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "The gentleman is round inside and outside!" ”
Xu Jin suddenly understood, gave a thumbs up and smiled: "Lord Sun is high!" ”
"That's Ziqian's high opinion!"
