quiet.

The whole place was deathly silent.

Everyone thought they heard wrongly.

The scene that had been ridiculing just now came to an abrupt end in an instant.

What did they hear?

Did you hear it wrong?

A national jade seal?

The national jade seal!

Xie Tianyao's eyes were filled with excitement, and he looked at Tiemucheng: "What are you talking about? The national jade seal?"

The rest of the people in the audience were also in an uproar.

"What?"

"Did I hear wrongly? The Imperial Seal?"

"real or fake?"

"Iron Wood City, don't say this nonsense! Otherwise it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

The whole place exploded.

The national jade seal!

NCM?

Yes, in history, the only one that can be called the national jade seal is the He clan jade! What is the Imperial Seal?

Chuan Guo Xi, referred to as Chuan Guo Xi! It was carved by Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, on the order of the First Emperor of Qin, using He's jade. It is the certificate of the orthodox emperors of all dynasties of China!

It is four inches in diameter and has five dragons on it. The front is engraved with eight seal characters written by Li Si, "If you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever and live forever" as a token of "imperial power is granted by heaven and is orthodox and legal".

After the Qin Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties regarded this seal as a talisman and regarded it as a rare treasure and an important weapon of the country. If you get it, it symbolizes your "order from heaven", while if you lose it, it means you "have run out of energy". Anyone who ascends to a great position without this seal will be ridiculed as a "white emperor", showing lack of confidence and being despised by the world.

In the past dynasties, those who wanted to be emperors fought for it. As a result, the imperial seal changed its owner many times and traveled around Chixian County in China for more than two thousand years, disappearing and reappearing, and finally disappeared. It is still without a trace, which is sighing.

In other words, no matter which dynasty the emperor is in, they all want to own the imperial seal, because this is the representative of orthodoxy!

Only the royal family that truly possesses the imperial seal will be recognized by the world!

There are many stories about the jade seal passed down in history.

"In the 19th year of the Qin Dynasty (228 BC), Qin defeated Zhao and obtained He's Bi. After unifying the world, Ying Zheng was named the first emperor. He ordered Li Si to carve a jade seal to pass down the country in small seal script, with the words "Ordered by Heaven to Live Longevity and Longevity" engraved on the front. Eight seal characters of insects and birds were carved on it by the jade worker Sun Shou. This jade seal is a token of the orthodox emperors of China.[1]

The meaning of "I have been ordered by Heaven to live long and live long" means: (Since) (I) obey the destiny of Heaven and become (the) emperor; (I) should make the people live long and the country's destiny be prosperous forever.

According to legend, in the twenty-eighth year of the Qin Dynasty (219 BC), Qin Shihuang rode a dragon boat across Dongting Lake. The wind and waves suddenly rose and the dragon boat was about to tip over. Qin Shihuang hurriedly threw the imperial seal into the lake and prayed to the gods to calm the waves. The jade seal was lost. Eight years later, someone in Pingshu Road, Huayin presented this imperial seal again. The imperial seal passed down to the Qin Dynasty.

In the winter of the first year of Qin Ziying (207 BC), Pei Gong Liu Bang's army went to Ba, and Ying knelt down holding the jade seal and presented it to the left side of Xianyang Road. Qin died. When Emperor Gaozu punished Xiang Ji, he became the emperor, and because the emperor obeyed his seal, it was passed down from generation to generation, so it was called the Han Dynasty Imperial Seal. However, "Yingshi Hanguan" and "Huangfu Century" record that the "Han Chuanguo Jade Seal" is written as "accepted by heaven, both longevity and health".

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, a relative of the family, usurped power. At that time, his son Liu Ying was young, and the seal was hidden in the Empress Dowager's residence in Changle Palace. Wang Mang sent his cousin Wang Shun to ask for it. The Queen Mother was angry and scolded him, and threw the seal to the ground, breaking one corner of it. Wang Mang ordered the craftsmen to repair it with gold.

When Mang was defeated and killed, the imperial guard's captain, Gongbin, passed on the national seal and went to Wan to present it to Liu Xuan, the Gengshi Emperor.

In the third year of Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan's reign (AD 25), the Red Eyebrow Army killed Liu Xuan and established Liu Penzi. The imperial seal changed hands to Liu Penzi.

Later, Liu Penzi defeated Yiyang and handed over the imperial seal to Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs had exclusive power. In the sixth year of Zhongping reign of Emperor Ling, He entered the palace to kill the eunuchs, Duan Gui fled with the emperor, and the jade seal disappeared.

During the reign of Emperor Xian, Dong Zhuo caused chaos. Sun Jian led his army into Luoyang. One day at midnight, the soldiers saw colorful clouds in a well in Zhen Palace in the south of the city, so they ordered people to enter the well. They saw a small box tied around the neck of the palace maid who had committed suicide in the well. The box contained the jade seal passed down from the country. As if Sun Jian had found a treasure, he hid it secretly with his wife Wu.

Later Yuan Shu detained the Wu family and seized the seal.

After Yuan Shu died, Jingzhou governor Xu Xu brought the seal to Xuchang. At that time, Cao Cao took Xiandi to order the princes. At this point, the imperial seal returned to the Han Dynasty.

In the first year of Yankang (AD 220), Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was forced to abdicate. Cao Pi established the Wei Dynasty and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Huangchu. He ordered someone to engrave the official Chinese characters "The Great Wei received the Imperial Seal of the Han Dynasty" on the shoulder of the Chuanguo Seal to prove that he was not "usurping the Han Dynasty".

In the history of Liu Zheng's previous life.

The jade seal passed down from the country was lost during the Yuan Dynasty.

But in this world, the Long Yan Dynasty's imperial seal was lost nearly a thousand years ago.

According to historical records: "The Rebellion of the Eight Kings of Longyan, the Central Plains was full of smoke, the government was sluggish, the ancestral temple was in danger, and the poison queen monopolized power. The king of Qi deposed the emperor and usurped the throne. The kings were furious and besieged the capital. The king of Qi ordered his confidant Li Han, the captain of the Yi Military Academy, to Yuxi escaped from Jinghua, hoping to make a comeback. Later, the city of Jinghua was destroyed, and the King of Qi was imprisoned until his death. Li Han wanted to take Yuxi to defect to King Pingcheng, but was killed by the Qiang people on the way. So far, the Jade Seal of Chuanguo has disappeared."

Later, King Long Yan of the Tang Dynasty successfully ascended the throne and offered a large reward, hoping to find the jade seal passed down to him to prove his "natural imperial power", but he only got a few fakes.

Because the king of Tang Dynasty did not have a jade seal to pass down the country, he ordered people to carve several jade seals such as "acceptance treasure" and "destiny treasure" to comfort himself.

thereafter.

In the Longyan Dynasty, there was no jade seal to pass down the country.

This is why every time the imperial power changes, it will cause a bloody storm and a cruel battle for the right to inherit the throne.

Because the jade seal passed down to the country is evidence of imperial power.

Without this thing, anyone can get involved in the throne!

This is a supreme existence, a symbol of power!

Successive emperors Long Yan regarded it as their dream to recover the jade seal inherited from the country. Including Xie Tianyao, however, there has been no news about the imperial seal for more than a thousand years!

But today...

Who could not be surprised when he suddenly heard the news about the imperial seal?

Prince Xie Fang and others were stunned and excited.

Xie Tianyao couldn't hold back his excitement. He just stared at Tiemucheng with a cold voice: "Tiemucheng, this matter is not trivial. Do you know that those who lied several times about finding the jade seal passed down to the country have already been executed by the nine tribes!"

Tiemucheng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not say that I am absolutely certain, but I am seventy percent certain!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience still exclaimed.

A seven-point certainty is no small feat.

Xie Tianyao grabbed the railing: "Say!"

Tiemucheng continued: "Your Majesty, Tiemucheng occasionally obtained this map in recent days. It is the tomb of our Qiang tribe, the Great Khan Tuolei! From the map, this tomb is huge in scale, which coincides with the secrets of heaven and earth. With the skill of Longyan Feng Shui, Tiemu City believes that there is a 70% chance that the jade seal passed down to the country will be in this tomb!"

As soon as this guess came out.

The whole place was restless again.

If this matter is true, then Ironwood City’s gift is indeed sincere enough!

Hua Hua Hua.

All eyes looked at Liu Zheng again.
