Chapter 320: Difficult to Distinguish from Fake (Part II)

"But......" Long Qing's words interrupted the discussion of the ministers below, "This jade seal doesn't look like it's fake, at least I can't see anything about it that is fake."

As soon as Long Qing's words came out, the ministers below not only stopped discussing, but looked at each other, these people who have gone through many winds and waves to climb to their current position, what kind of things they have not seen, what kind of strange things have not been seen.

But now what Long Qing said, it really made them feel a little incomprehensible, Long Qing had already said before, the jade seal handed over by Fang Zhang Fan in his hand did not look real, this meaning is obvious, since it is not true, it is fake, the reason why they say the word "not like" here, in the eyes of these ministers, at most, the person who imitated this jade seal is very clever, and the jade seal is imitated extremely realistically.

But then, Long Qing said that this jade seal doesn't seem to be fake, which makes these ministers a little confused, whether it is "not like fake" or "not like it is true", these two sentences will not have any problems when they are said separately, but now, Long Qing said these two sentences at the same time, and they are both used on the same item, isn't this a contradiction, these ministers don't understand why this is so.

Especially Gao Gong, he was ready to stand up and impeach Zhang Fan just now, saying that for this moment, he has been preparing for a long time, since he learned that Zhang Fan had found the news of a "jade seal of the country", he had already begun to prepare for the impeachment of Zhang Fan.

But just now, Gao Gong, who had already raised his feet slightly and was about to take a step, was given in place by Long Qing's self-contradictory words, and his face showed an expression of surprise to the extreme, and in his heart, Gao Gong was even more difficult to go up or down.

And standing in the center of the main hall, Zhang Fan, who heard Longqing's words, was happy in his heart, saying that he had planned to do so before, after all, the jade seal of the country has been longed for by countless people in the hundreds of years since it disappeared, and it has also been guessed by countless people, it is precisely for this reason that what the jade seal of the country looks like has long been conveyed by people, so Zhang Fan will say to Zhang Juzheng before, in the current situation, whether it is really the jade seal of the country or fake, now put it in front of this group of ministers, Absolutely all of them are fake, because there is no such thing as a god in the world.

This is also the reason why Zhang Fan wants to use this method of counter-evidence to verify the authenticity of this jade seal, but before, Zhang Fan has always considered in his heart how to let these people use this method of counter-evidence, after all, although he has this idea, but he has not thought of how to let Long Qing and these ministers, especially these ministers, use this method for a while.

But now it's good, Zhang Fan's method hasn't come up with yet, Longqing has already helped him solve it, and Longqing himself said this proposal, which saves Zhang Fan a lot of trouble, not to mention, and it is more influential than Zhang Fan's own way to come.

"Your Majesty means ......" Xu Jie, who was sitting there, was also confused by Long Qing's words now, and couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, hehe, I don't mean anything else, it's just a matter of facts," Long Qing smiled and said, "I said before that this seal doesn't look like it's true, it's not nonsense, this jade seal is indeed different from the rumors, they all say that if it's a real jade seal, as long as you look at it at a glance, you can see that it's true or false, and there is something golden and bright, purple and so on, and there is something that reveals majesty on it, which can make people feel domineering at a glance, these things, I can't see it on this jade seal,"

After Long Qing's words, the ministers below were stupid, they had been waiting for Long Qing's explanation just now, but they never imagined that Long Qing would say such a thing, this is simply ...... Are you kidding, those words of Longqing just now are simply funny, the feudal dynasty of ancient China, people are indeed more superstitious, but it is only a spiritual superstition, and it has not really extended to all aspects of life, what Longqing said just now is simply a mythical story, and the ministers below were also frightened by Longqing's words, they don't know whether Longqing is talking about his true thoughts in his own heart, or joking about acne or something.

"This ...... His Majesty's words ...... "Even Xu Jie, who has always been known for his rigor, was stunned by Long Qing's words, and he didn't know what to say for a while."

"Hehe......" Long Qing didn't explain what he just said, and continued, "The reason why I say that this jade seal does not look like a fake is also very simple, the record of the jade seal of the country is mentioned in countless classics and history books, although all of them are one-sided, and there is no very detailed record, but if you look at the things recorded in the annals of various dynasties together, the jade seal in my hand does not look like a fake.

"It is recorded in the history books that the jade seal of the country is four inches in circumference, and the jade seal in my hand is also this size, there are five coiled dragons and new friends, and the same is true of this jade seal, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and sent his brother Wang Shun into the palace to ask for it, but the queen mother was furious and threw it to the country, and the jade seal was thrown on the ground and broke a corner, and now the jade seal in my hand is the same, and the broken mark of this corner looks very old, and it can at least have a thousand years of time to play, Although it is still debatable whether this damage was deliberately done, it will be clear when a skilled craftsman from the Ministry of Industry comes to identify it.

"And the most special thing is that the eight big characters engraved on the lock of this jade seal, 'Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang', do seem to be Li Si's handwriting, not like someone copied them,"

After Long Qing finished saying these words, he signaled to the little eunuch on the side, and the little eunuch immediately walked over with a tray covered with brocade, and after Long Qing put the jade seal in, the little eunuch walked to the ministers below with the tray and let them watch them one by one.

The first person was Xu Jie, because the authenticity of the jade seal was still inconclusive at this time, so Xu Jie also took it in his hand and looked at it.

Regarding the appearance of the jade seal, Xu Jie did not make too many observations, after all, what should this heirloom jade seal look like, their ministers have already had a general idea in their hearts, and now they see this jade seal, although in terms of appearance, they are all a little different from what they think in their hearts, but they can also match each one, neither too simple, nor do they make people feel gorgeous, in short, about the appearance of this jade seal, all of them are within the scope that everyone can recognize.

Xu Jie's concern is the words engraved on the jade seal, although the era in which Li Si lived is a little too far away from this time, but Li Si still has a lot of inscriptions preserved, so it is not very difficult to identify Li Si's seal characters.

And in this way, there is another problem, since Li Si's handwriting can still be seen now, it is natural that someone will copy it, copying this kind of thing is not wrong, besides, when the ancient and modern scholars practiced calligraphy, who has not copied the calligraphy of others.

But it is precisely for this reason that it is difficult to distinguish this kind of thing, and the people who eat the bowl of rice of counterfeiting can be said to be more in the world, among which there are extremely unprofessional people, who are clumsy and bad things earlier, of course, this kind of thing can only deceive those who have no culture but want to pursue the name of the rich businessman, but there are also that kind of professionals, after all, the things they forge can bring great wealth, and naturally the more like the real the better, and it is better to be more like the real thing.

And calligraphy, some people can really copy exactly the same as the original author.

But this seal is different, because the body of the seal is strange, what kind of thing there is, so people in the engraving, only to cater to it, so when writing the words to be engraved, especially when the number of words to be engraved is a lot, the person who writes must find a way to make the layout of these words conform to the scope of the seal engraving, therefore, some stroke adjustments and changes are indispensable.

In the past, those who were identified as fakes of the "heirloom jade seals", in fact, most of them, the quality is impeccable, whether it is the material or the carving of the kung fu, it is also exquisite, just from this point of view, most of them are genuine, more real than the real thing, but these jade seals in the end, all are identified as fakes, the problem, is in this bottom engraved on the word.

Some are okay, the counterfeiter also has some engraving skills, and the layout of a few words has also put a lot of effort into it, and it can be handled, but it always gives people a little awkward feeling, and it always makes people faintly feel a sense of incongruity.

And some of them are exaggerated, they didn't think about this kind of problem at all, they just copied Li Si's death, and bluntly fused these words together and engraved them, how awkward it looked.

In addition, there are some words that don't seem to be written, so I won't say more about them here.

And Xu Jie looked at the inscription on the jade seal in his hand, but it gave him a very comfortable feeling, every stroke and stroke of each word seemed to be tailor-made for this jade seal, and there was no sense of incongruity, seeing this, Xu Jie's heart had the idea that this thing might be true, but Xu Jie didn't say it, just silently put the seal back.

When the people below saw Xu Jie's appearance, they couldn't help but muttered in their hearts, there was only one high arch, and now he had made up his mind, thinking that this was absolutely fake,
