I am Da Song

In the 21st year of Jianye (1150 A.D.), Zhao Huan received the news on the third day of the sixth lunar month in the summer. On the seventh day of the seventh day, Zhao Huan returned to Tokyo from Yanjing very quickly.

It has to be said that the current road repairs in the Song Dynasty are indeed extending in all directions.

Especially on the main roads, the roads are wide and flat, and the roads are smooth and smooth.

Back in the palace, Zhao Huan went directly into the Chuigong Hall without a break, and called all the prime ministers to discuss matters.

All the prime ministers were in a hurry, and rushed to the Chuigong Hall to face the saint as soon as they heard that the holy car was returning to the palace.

Zhao Huan sat on the soft couch, and Shang Gong Tang Yi, the chief officer of the Shang Palace Bureau, took the place of Tang Wan to serve on the side, and handed Zhao Huan a cup of tea.

Zhao Huan took a sip to quench his thirst, and immediately asked, "What's the matter with Chuan Guo Yuxi?"

Tang Yi said immediately: "The official's family is a gift from the people of the vassal state to the court. Its source comes from Li Congke, the late emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The envoy Niu has repeatedly studied the details, and Feige sent a letter to report. The jade seal is already being sent back. on the way."

From Li Congke, it should be the first national treasure of Zhuxia.

Regarding the Chuanguo Yuxi, there are several pieces in the Song Dynasty...

That's right, several bucks.

The piece that Zhao Huan is currently using was made by Song Renzong in Jihai, the winter and November of the eighth year of Qingli, and it is named "The Treasure Admired by the Emperor".

Although this emperor's jade seal is not made of Qin Shihuang's Heshibi, it represents the imperial power of Zhao Song.

The whole world also admits that at least in the change of Zhao and Song royal families, the status of this jade seal is equivalent to that of the emperor's seal.

Which Zhao surnamed child wants to ascend the throne, at least get this jade seal to be regarded as the official emperor.

In the official edict issued by the Shangshu Bureau on behalf of Zhao Huan, this jade seal was also covered.

However, this piece was not used by the Shang Palace Bureau to approve the memorial. It was one of Zhao Huan's emperor Liu Xi.

There are already several emperor jade seals. During the Zhezong Dynasty, a farmer named Duan Yi discovered the Chuan Guoxie while plowing the fields and sent it to the imperial court.After thirteen academicians based on the records of previous dynasties, it was determined that it was the imperial seal made by the first emperor.But people of insight in the ruling and opposition parties are suspicious of its hypocrisy.

When the Taishang succeeded to the throne, the Taishang paid special attention to the etiquette of ruling status, so he engraved ten seals, which was ridiculed by people at that time.

Zhang Dun said: "King Duan is frivolous and cannot rule the world" is really not a false statement.

After the Taishang's operation, any statement in the Song Dynasty about the jade seal handed down by the first emperor became absurd.

So Zhao Huan can only use Song Renzong's piece, no matter whether other dynasties recognize it or not, at least they recognize his status at the moment.

But now, the piece obtained by the imperial court is different. It is very likely that it is the real jade seal handed down by the first emperor.

When all the ministers arrived, Zhao Huan immediately opened his mouth and said, "It's a big matter to pass on the jade seal of the country. I don't want to make an oolong in the end. You are so solemn. If it is finally proved to be false, it may shake the prestige of the court."

Before the appearance of this Jade Seal, the people of the Song Dynasty were in the midst of the country's prosperity. The country's territory was vast, far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and its economy was prosperous like never before.The culture of Zhuxia is even more perfect in this world.

With or without the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, no one in the world would doubt the orthodox legitimacy of the imperial court.

After all, the common people have food, clothing, and affluent life, which is much more real than that illusory jade seal.

However, following the news of the Chuanguo Yuxi, people all over the world focused their attention on this aspect.

The newspapers have been discussing popular science at length, and the Jade Seal of Chuanguo has been passed on miraculously.

Especially at present, there are still very strong myths and religious traditions, which are full of legends in the story of Chuanguo Yuxi.

Zhao Huan had only read the newspaper today, and one of the stories about the disappearance of the Chuanguo Yuxi was very magical.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and heroes rose everywhere.In the fourth year of Tang Tianyou (907 A.D.), Zhu Quanzhong abolished Emperor Ai of Tang Dynasty, seized the Imperial Seal, and built Houliang.

16 years later, Li Cunxu destroyed the Later Liang, established the Later Tang, and the Chuan Guoxi was transferred to the Later Tang.

Li Congke, the last emperor of the later Tang Dynasty, faced a great enemy since he ascended the throne, Shi Jingtang, the Jiedu envoy of Hedong.

Shi Jingtang was widely criticized by later generations for his traitorous behavior, and his reputation was especially foul in Song Dynasty.

Because he sold the Sixteen States of Yanyun to Khitan, Da Song had no danger to defend, and had to confront Khitan cavalry for a long time on the Qianli Plain in Hebei, so the whole world of Da Song hated him in various ways.

He took Khitan into Luoyang, the capital at that time, and Li Congke, the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, saw that he took Chuanguo Yuxi, Empress Dowager Cao, Empress Liu, and his son Li Chongmei to the Xuanwu Tower, and died by self-immolation
So the major newspapers in the Song Dynasty said that Yuxi had a spirit and refused to fall into the hands of such national thieves, so the spirit disappeared.

The right chancellor, Zhang Jun, said: "Chuan Guo Yuxi involves the orthodoxy of Guozuo, and it has a clear context from Qin to Tang. Every time the dynasty changes, the jade seal will fall into the hands of the new dynasty, and it has been followed before our dynasty. After the Jin Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, it should be passed down. The national jade seal, but the national treasure has disappeared since then, so that I have no seal. Therefore, I have been worried for a hundred years before the dynasty that I will repeat the mistakes of the five generations."

"Now that the jade seal has reappeared, we should pay attention to it no matter what, so as to calm people's hearts."

Zhao Huan nodded, there is no doubt about Yuxi's role.

In fact, as Zhang Jun said.If you put it into the perspective of the Song Dynasty, Yuxi is actually determined to win.

At present, no one thinks that Yuxi will never be found again and will disappear for thousands of years.

Li Congke set himself on fire in 936, while the Song Dynasty was founded in 960.In fact, it was only 24 years between the disappearance of Yuxi and the founding of the Song Dynasty.

24 years, this is really not a very long time for Yuxi.

Not to mention the frequent change of dynasties in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, even at the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was still the territory of the Han Dynasty in name.Liu Hong died in 189, Yuan Shao launched a mutiny, the jade seal disappeared in the palace, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty lost the jade seal for a long time.

Yuan Shu learned that Yuxi was in Sun Jian's hands, and immediately detained Sun Jian's wife after Sun Jian's death, and took Yuxi away.

This is not like what was said in the Romance. A few years later, Sun Ce took the jade seal and exchanged thousands of soldiers and horses with Yuan Shu.

So for nearly ten years, before Yuan Shu died, Yuxi was in Yuan Shu's hands.

This was the case when the country was still nominally unified, and the five generations with frequent dynasties, more than 20 years is really not long.

We must know that when the Song Dynasty replaced the Hou Zhou, people all over the world were still accustomed to the troubled times of the Five Dynasties.

Even Zhao Kuangyin himself was trembling, and no one would have thought that the Song Dynasty could survive for more than 300 years.

At that time, everyone was afraid that the Great Song Dynasty would be the continuation of the five generations and become the sixth generation.

Therefore, from the standpoint of the people of the Song Dynasty, there is no way to accuse Zhao Kuangyin of releasing his military power with a glass of wine. If the Emperor Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty does not lift the military power of the generals, it may really lead to the continuation of the troubled times, and the sixth and seventh generations will repeat themselves.

But having personally experienced the dark scene of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the common people were really scared.

In the tragedy of the Five Dynasties, cannibalism is only one of the most inconspicuous manifestations.
