Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor in Chinese history, ordered the creation of an emperor's jade seal after the unification of China, which he called the "Seal of the Son of Heaven".

Since Qin Shi Huang first established the treasure seal system for the first time in Chinese history, this system was used by successive dynasties until the end of the Qing Dynasty. The front of the jade seal is engraved with the eight characters of "Ordered by the Heavens, Longevity and Yongchang" written by Prime Minister Li Si in a large seal, as a token of "divine power of the emperor, orthodoxy and legitimacy". Since then, the jade seal has become a symbol of the heavens, and the emperors of all dynasties have regarded the jade seal as an important symbol of power and a symbol of dominating the world.

The person who gets the jade seal interprets the jade seal as a manifestation of his "command from heaven"; Once the jade seal is lost, it is pessimistic as a manifestation of the dynasty's "exhaustion of qi". If any emperor did not hold the jade seal in his hand when he ascended the throne, he was ridiculed as the "white version of the emperor". It means that you, the emperor, were sealed by yourself, and there is no way to prove it at all. The edict they issued without a jade seal was naturally less convincing.

The seal is a token of the emperor's exercise of power and a symbol of state power. In a sense, the Treasure Seal was even more important than the Emperor himself, because without the Treasure Seal, the Emperor lost all power. Therefore, the jade seal of the country has not only become the target of the careerists and the king, but also the treasure of the harem of the central dynasty and the important weapon of the country.

Therefore, since its birth, it has been surrounded by heavy swords and shadows, low drums and horns, its appearance and disappearance, and even become a symbol of the change of dynasty and the change of flags. Constantly changing hands in gore and carnage, countless disappearances and magical reappearances...

"Zhao Yong, where did you get that box?" Zhao Ta took the box and asked as if nothing had happened. What Zhao Yong called useless brocade box contained a jade seal. In terms of shape, it is similar to the legendary heirloom seal, but Zhao Ta can't judge the authenticity. He wanted to get something out of Zhao Yong's mouth and see where it came from.

"Picked up on the battlefield. It may be the seal of Yelu Yanxi or some official, or it may be the Jurchens, I don't know the words on it, I can't tell which country's words it is! Zhao Yong scratched his scalp and said.

"Oh, this is Khitan, it should be a dead ghost from Liao, but I don't know who is unlucky, and even the big seal was lost!" Zhao Ta pretended to hold the seal letter and looked at it and said, Legend has it that the seal inscription was written by Li Si with a big seal, 'Ordered by the sky.' He couldn't understand the eight words of Shou Yongchang, but the number of words was not a problem, and the number of words was also eight, and Zhao Yong obviously didn't know what the seal of Lu Dao meant, and he was also a master who didn't know gold and jade.

"Boss, why don't I find someone who knows Khitan and see what is written?" Zhao Yong looked at the prince and seemed to be a little interested, and said with a smile.

"No need, I think this piece of jade is good. Wait for the day to find the jade craftsman in the house to grind the words and re-engrave the words! Zhao Ta waved his hand and put the jade seal back in the box, he didn't dare to accept Zhao Yong's kindness. If he leaked the stuffing, he would cause big trouble, so he didn't want Zhao Yong to get involved, let alone let others know about it.

"Boss. Then give it to me! Zhao Yong said with a smile, but he secretly slandered himself in his heart. Cut, slam the door. I want to save this money. ”

"Okay, I'll ask them to engrave the 'Seal of the Commander of the Krupp Army' and give it to you, and save yourself from poking a piece of wood all day long to fool people!" Zhao Ta closed the lid casually, pushed the box aside and said casually.

"Then thank you!" Zhao Yong arched his hand and said, but he secretly hated himself for talking too much and getting a second-hand product.

"You hurry up and get those princesses away, I thank you!" Zhao Ta gave him a blank look and said.

"Okay, I'll go to Yelu Yu right away and reunite their relatives!" Zhao Yong hurriedly agreed, the prince looked tired, he had to hurry up or he would have to be kicked again, and when he walked to the door of the mansion, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't done anything serious, and he just talked nonsense to the prince. I had the heart to go back, but I was afraid that the prince would scold me, so I simply did the matter and then went to tell the prince, he was unhappy that it was really difficult to do it.

As soon as Zhao Yong went out, Zhao Ta closed the door, told Wangfu not to disturb his rest, and then went into his bedroom with the brocade box. He wanted to find out whether the jade seal in his hand was the real heirloom seal. It is better to say that he got the surprise of the baby, but it is a strong curiosity to let Zhao Ta figure out the truth,

Historical records, the last time the jade seal of the country appeared was on January 11, 937 A.D., after the Tang River East Jiedu made Shi Jingjiao take the Khitan army to Luoyang, after the late Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Congke held the jade seal of the country on the Xuanwu Tower self-immolation, the whereabouts of the jade seal are unknown, until more than 400 years later in the Yuan Dynasty flash in the pan disappeared again, hundreds of years up to the king of a country, down to the countryside and villagers are looking for it, all kinds of speculation is flying all over the sky, but never found the national seal, it disappeared for more than a thousand years, But until the end of Zhao Ta's previous life, he had never heard of it appearing again, becoming a mystery for the ages.

There are many people who claim to be kings and hegemons in history, but there is only one jade seal, so many heroes and heroes carve jade seals privately. Their "creativity" of privately making jade seals has been welcomed and emulated by many rebellious ministers and thieves and heroes in later generations, and the copycat version of the heirloom seal is flying all over the sky, even Zhao Ta's father has one in his hand, it is said that a farmer in the Zhezong Dynasty dug up from the site of Li Congke's self-immolation, and at that time more than ten scholars in the court and China were repeatedly verified, and it has been confirmed that it is true.

has really appeared, then the one in his hand may be fake, but Zhao Ta is a guest from later generations, and the 'reasoning emperors' of that era have been certified, and they are all inclined to be fake. Think about it, at that time, Shi Jingjiao led the Khitans to attack Luoyang, Li Congke held the seal and set himself on fire, and afterwards people did not find any remnants similar to the jade seal from him, not even a similar stone, that was the result of tens of thousands of people searching for it at the first scene.

With the importance of the national seal, it is estimated that not to mention digging three feet into the ground at that time, the ruins left by the self-immolation must have passed through the sieve, not to mention that the jade seal may be a jade piece can be found, so the reappearance of the same place after 400 years cannot but make people doubtful. If this is true, according to normal reasoning, it should be taken away by the Khitans for the first time, circulated in the hands of the Liao Emperors of the past dynasties, and was finally left on the battlefield by Yelu Yanxi in a panic, and theoretically this process can be said to be reasonable!

Zhao Ta to jade, carving these are laymen, can only look at the jade seal said 'mark', one is Wang Mang usurped power when the queen mother fell off the horn, Wang Mang ordered people to make up for the gold, since then the seal of the country has a nickname 'gold inlaid jade'; another is Cao Pi forced the Han Dynasty to offer the emperor Zen to get the seal, in the seal shoulder carved the word 'Great Wei by the Han Dynasty to pass on the national seal', indicating that he had been here to visit; the last one to make a mark is after Zhao Shi strangled the former Zhao to get the jade seal of the country, this guy is even more ingenious, on the right side to engrave "Mandate of Heaven Shishi".

The text defects on the jade seal are consistent with the legends and records, Zhao Ta did not dare to say that this jade seal was the one worn by Qin Shi Huang, but it can be concluded that at least this is a high imitation of the national seal, which has been recognized by the Liao Emperors of the past dynasties, and has been used as a real use, and has been recognized both domestically and internationally, that is to say, he can use this jade seal to do something!

Zhao Ta was taken aback by his sudden idea, is it really the ass that decides the head, and the goal of his struggle has also changed with the increase of status and power? Look at what you've been doing in the last few years!

Economically, they controlled the Western Xia and controlled their political direction; Although he did not show his face in the Liao State, his tentacles stretched to the Xijing Road and the Southwest Recruitment Division of the Liao State, if he was not afraid, he could easily capture Datong and control this large area; For the Jurchens, he is now cultivating a government-in-exile, and when the time comes, he can become a sharp blade in his hand to plunge into the heart of the Wanyan regime, and drive a nail in his back. In China, he became the actual king of the northwest, cultivated his own civil system and armed force, and mastered the economic lifeline of the northwest through his own business empire, as long as he is willing, he can completely divide the northwest!

"I don't want to be the emperor, my goal is to be a free prince, and I won't go to the north to eat snow and suffer crimes!" Zhao Ta shook his head violently, trying to shake out the thoughts of 'great rebellion' that suddenly popped up in his mind, but how to deal with the heirloom seal in hand? At this moment, this treasure that everyone dreams of has become a hot potato in his hands.

"Damn, isn't this thing useless except to be the emperor?" Zhao Ta lay on the table and looked at the important weapon of the country in front of him, the priceless jade, the ingenious carving, and the unparalleled calligraphy, making this jade seal a beautiful work of art, and he thought about how to maintain and increase the value of this artwork so that it would not be smashed in his hands.

"What if you let the person next door go to Xijing Datong with a copy of the edict stamped with the national seal?" Zhao Ta suddenly thought that there was still a genuine prince of Liao living next door, but for the time being, it was also raised for nothing, if they were used together, would they be able to turn waste into treasure!

Yelu Xi Nilie was the eldest son of the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi, who had been left behind in Xijing, and was appointed as 'Tiyin' last winter, a powerful official who was in charge of the political and religious affairs of the imperial family, regulating the internal affairs of the aristocratic group and ensuring that they obeyed the supreme leadership, and also had the power of armed forces in his hands. Just after he left Xijing, his successor, Xiao Chala, surrendered under pressure.

"I first forged an edict from Emperor Liao appointing him to stay in Xijing and handed it to Li Liangfu, and then he handed it over to Yelu Xi Nilie, and then Yelu Yu escorted him into Datong to usurp the throne!" Zhao Ta is really a genius who turns waste into treasure, and immediately began to conduct an operational evaluation... (To be continued.) )
