Chapter 1144: Imperial Seal
In Luoyang City, after the banquet, Huangfu Chaobo ordered Yuan Yao and others to be sent back to the post house to rest. However, he did not return to the backyard to rest immediately. Instead, he called all the important officials and generals of the Tang Army and came to the hall where he was discussing matters. , appreciate it, yes, just praise this national jade seal that everyone can't wait for.
Chuanguo Jade Seal: referred to as "Chuanguo Seal", it was engraved with He's jade by the Prime Minister Li Si of the Qin Dynasty on the order of the First Emperor. It is the certificate of the orthodox emperors 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, "Ordered by heaven, you will live forever" as a token of "the 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.
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 a 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 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.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs had exclusive power. In the sixth year of Emperor Ling's Xiping reign, Yuan Shao 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 coming from a well in Zhen Palace in the south of the city, so they sent people into the well. They saw a small box tied around the neck of the palace maid who had committed suicide by throwing herself into the well. What was hidden in the box was the jade seal handed down from the country. As if Sun Jian had found a treasure, he hid it secretly with his wife Wu.
Later, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor because he obtained the Yuxi. Unfortunately, the Zhong dynasty only existed for more than a year and was destroyed by the joint attack of Huangfu Chaobo, Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others. Later, Ji Ling was captured by Yuxi. He took it out and gave it to Yuan Yao, and now Yuan Yao dedicated it to Huangfu Chaobo.
In the hall, the lights were bright. After Huangfu Chaobo gathered everyone, he asked people to take the jade seal and put it on the table specially placed in the middle of the hall. He carefully opened the yellow silk wrapped outside, and then put it on a piece of paper. The white jade seal appeared in everyone's eyes. Huangfu Chaobo carefully picked it up and looked at the bottom. Sure enough, there were eight seal characters written on it, "Ordered by heaven, you will live forever."
At first glance, the jade seal was emitting an intoxicating light. The moment he grabbed the jade seal, Huangfu Chaobo had a feeling that he couldn't put it down. It made people feel that if they hold this seal, they have control over the world.
"Congratulations to the player, you have obtained the Jade Seal of the Kingdom. Because the conditions are not met, the function of the Jade Seal of the Kingdom cannot be activated. Please continue to explore the conditions for activating the Jade Seal of the Kingdom!"
Huangfu Chaobo was stunned. A system prompt suddenly appeared in his ears. Can players of this Imperial Seal also use it? What is that for, proclaiming himself emperor?
However, if you think about it on the other hand, it is indeed possible. Since you can be a marquis and a duke, why can't the player be an emperor? However, this matter of becoming an emperor does not seem to be simple. Huangfu Chaobo estimates that this jade seal should be one of the conditions. But what are the remaining conditions? Huangfu Chaobo was puzzled. When he looked at the jade seal again, the strange light he saw at first was no longer there.
When Huangfu Chaobo looked at other people, he saw that even Tian Feng, who was usually the most indifferent, was staring at the jade seal with bright eyes. Both eyes were motionless, as if he closed the jade seal. It will generally disappear. When they looked at the others, Pang Tong and Guo Jia, the second loanees, looked at Yuxi with drooling eyes, as if this Yuxi was better than the fine wine they usually kept in their hands.
"Uh-huh!" After a long time, Huangfu Chaobo cleared his throat, and then everyone looked away from the jade seal, "Masters,
If you want to see it, please take another look. In a few days, we will send this thing to Chang'an and present it to the little emperor. From now on, I don't know if I will be able to see this thing again. "
Everyone was awakened by Huangfu Chaobo's voice, and they all looked away from the jade seal. Tian Feng said: "My lord, this thing should really be given away as soon as possible, otherwise it will definitely attract the prying eyes of the heroes, so it is better to send it away as soon as possible!"
Everyone here is a determined person. Now they have woken up from Yuxi's surprise and have fully recovered their usual shrewdness.
Xun You said: "Yes, since it has been determined that this thing will be dedicated to the emperor, it is better for the lord to arrange it as soon as possible. First of all, we must send people to publicize that although the lord has obtained the jade seal, he does not dare to covet it, but will use it as a gift." Send it to Chang'an to present it to the emperor, which can also divert the attention of the princes. "
"Yes, the lord must first send someone to Chang'an to report the matter to the emperor, and then send a large army to escort him all the way until it is handed over to the emperor. In this way, others can also cut off their delusions." Guo Jia also added on the side;
"That's very good. In your opinion, who should be the best envoy for this mission to Chang'an?" Huangfu Chaobo asked everyone;
"If the lord agrees, you are willing to make a trip for the lord. However, the number of troops sent should not be too many, no more than five thousand troops and horses at most." Xun You asked himself at the side;
Huangfu Chaobo thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Gongda. I will send 5,000 guards to escort Gongda! Also, before Gongda leaves, we need to send someone to Chang'an to present a memorial and inform the emperor that I will send the imperial seal. This matter will be handled by Gongda."
"Don't worry, my lord, I will arrange it properly." Xun You stepped forward and bowed to accept the order;
Huangfu Chaobo nodded, turned to look at Xu Shu and said, "Yuanzhi, is the defense of the three counties in Huainan ready?"
"Reporting to the lord, all the troops were ready five days ago. All the troops have arrived, and the troops in all the cities of Yanzhou are ready for battle. If Cao Cao's army does not send troops, it will be fine. If they dare to send troops, they will be hit head-on! "
"Well, pass the order down, and the troops in all places are ready to defend against the surrounding princes who are trying to fish in troubled waters. Fight back resolutely, don't worry about anything. Alas, I thought I would have a good rest this year, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and the jade seal has to be sent out. If it weren't for the participation of Ji Ling and other generals and 20,000 imperial guards, I might have suffered a loss! "
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and laughed!
