Chapter 218 Certification
After everyone knelt down and worshiped, everyone gradually calmed down, but they were skeptical about the sudden appearance of the Chuanguo Yuxi. After all, this treasure has been lost for many years and has long been considered damaged.
After the Qin Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties took this seal as a symbol of auspiciousness. It is like a rare treasure, and it is also the most important weapon of the country. If it is obtained, it symbolizes that it is "destined by heaven", and if it is lost, it means that it is "exhausted".
Those who ascended to great positions without this seal were ridiculed as "white emperors" and were despised by the world for their lack of confidence.
During Song Zhezong, a farmer named Duan Yi found the Chuan Guoxie while plowing the fields and sent it to the imperial court. After thirteen academics verified it based on the records of the previous dynasty, it was determined that it was the Chuan Guoxie made by the first emperor.
But people of insight in the ruling and opposition parties are suspicious of its hypocrisy. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Huizong was so elegant that he engraved ten additional seals. People at that time thought it was superfluous. In fact, Huizong seemed to have the deep meaning of downplaying the status of the national seal.
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, when Kublai Khan, the great ancestor, passed away, the "Jade Seal of the Kingdom" suddenly appeared in Dadu and was sold in the market. It is said that Boyan, the Prime Minister of Power, ordered someone to buy it. Grind it flat and distribute it to princes and ministers to engrave private seals. This is the last news of Chuanguo Yuxi.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao also thought that Beiyuan was the most likely place where the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom existed, but after Zhu Biao personally destroyed Beiyuan, he ordered people to search for it, but found nothing. State Jade Seal.
By now everyone had given up long ago, Zhu Biao stood up, picked up the Chuanguo Jade Seal, turned around and walked towards them, if he secretly sent the Chuanguo Jade Seal back to Beijing without being appraised by the people below, that would be too much. It seems to be a guilty conscience.
In the end, not only did it fail to achieve the desired effect, but it would also become the laughing stock of the world, just like those emperors in the Song Dynasty, or even deeper. This move is really ridiculous.
The people below all have some doubts, and more of them are entangled and anxious. The crown prince has made this move. As long as they want to live, they can't tear it down, but what about their reputation that they have managed for a lifetime?
If Chuan Guo Yuxi is a fake, they risk their conscience to advocate that it is true, and if they reveal their secrets in the future, their lives will be ruined. No one can do anything to the emperor and prince. No one will be polite to them.
Zhu Biao didn't have any dissatisfaction when he saw some people who flinched. It's natural to seek benefits and avoid harm, but naturally it is impossible to let them go. Zhu Biao said with a smile: "You are all learned and respected elders, please be a Witness, this is the best way to report this auspiciousness to the imperial court."
Everyone surrounded Zhu Biao, but they didn't dare to approach him. A gray-haired old man stood up and said, "This is my Chinese artifact, a treasure passed down by the kings of all ages. How can grass people be qualified to be witnesses? Please invite your highness to Celebrities."
Zhu Biao glanced at him, his figure was shaking, he specially sent the pro-military captain's mansion to invite you over, how could you let it go like this, the prefect of Fengyang hurriedly brought over a table covered with yellow cloth, Zhu Biao gently Put the jade seal on it.
The rest of the people knew at a glance that they would not be able to run away today, so they could only pray in their hearts that the jade seal was true. Zhu Biao took a step back, and those people couldn't care less about being polite, and they all stared at the jade seal, but no one Dare to touch.
Those people became more excited as they watched, and after a few low-pitched exchanges, they checked more carefully, and then asked Zhu Biao to hold it up to observe the seal characters. The characters carved by that guy Cao Pi finally came in handy, which undoubtedly deepened the seal of Chuanguo. authenticity.
Among them, a great Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River carefully stared at the right side of the jade seal and said excitedly: "After Zhao Shi strangled the former Zhao, he was able to pass on the jade seal of the country. He once engraved the destiny Shi on the right side, and waited for the seal to be returned to Sima of the Jin Dynasty. At that time, these four characters were worn away, which is where there are slight wear marks."
The eyes of the rest of the people are even brighter. There are many records of the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, so they also know the story of this seal. Now all the details are correct, and that is enough.
At this point, they can pretend that the fake is real, not to mention that they all feel that this seal is probably a jade seal handed down from the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Zhu Xi was relieved to see this situation when he came back. They were skeptical when they heard the news last night. After all, they had lost it for so many years, and they were also worried that it was a fake. It would be everyone in the Zhu family who would be ashamed.
It took more than two hours before Zhu Biao returned to Daying with the wooden box in his hands. This incident would immediately cause huge waves in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Biao also wrote a memorial himself and sent it to the capital urgently.
Then he had to leave too. Since the Chuanguo Yuxi is now in the world, it is impossible for the courtiers to carry it. Zhu Biao must personally deliver this artifact of destiny to Zhu Yuanzhang.
He has summoned everyone to the camp. He has to arrange some affairs. This time he will stay in Beijing for a few more days. After all, he has been away from Beijing for several months, but he can't stop here. It will be difficult to do anything in winter. .
After a while, the camp was full of people, and everyone was staring eagerly at the box behind Zhu Biao, including those honored children and new scholars. Only then did Zhu Biao realize that his father and son had underestimated this treasure.
Although their eyes were full of eagerness, and they all wanted to see the Chuanguo Yuxi, but Zhu Biao pretended not to see it, and ordered everything in detail, and asked the person in charge to issue a military order, and must do a good job before Zhu Biao came back. .
Then Zhu Biao led Wan Qi and set off. He seemed eager but actually walked very slowly. You have to give them time to spread the news, otherwise there is no point in doing it. It's a pity that Nanjing is too close in Fengyang. Zhu Biao No matter how long it took, it would take two or three days longer.
However, this kind of news spread very quickly, and with the help of the pro-military Duwei’s Mansion, at least the capital and Jiangnan already knew about it. People on Zhu Biao Road asked people to inquire about it. , the purple air comes from the east, and the sun and the moon appear together.
Zhu Biao also deliberately ordered the movement to be quieter. Unexpectedly, it still ended up in this situation, but the facts are often so far from the truth, and most people don’t care about the truth. It’s just extra talk when drinking and bragging.
Moreover, many people think that the jade seal is a fake, but it is a trick learned from the Song Dynasty. It is so easy to get out of the Chuanguo Yuxi.
Zhu Biao took time to arrive outside the capital. Zhu Yuanzhang sent civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty to welcome the prince and Chuanguo Yuxi back to Beijing at the gate of the city. Li Shanchang greeted him with his sick body.
