I am Da Song

Chapter 602 The Lineage of the Jade Seal

Right Prime Minister Zhang Jun analyzed to everyone: "The time and place where the Chuan Guo Yuxi last appeared is very clear, and it was in the Luoyang Palace."

"After the son emperor Shi Jingtang invaded Luoyang, the jade seal disappeared."

"It is said by the people that the jade seal has spirituality, and the reluctance to fall into the hands of national thieves is just a folk beautification."

Zhao Huan nodded. The fact that Yuxi disappeared by herself is full of mythology.They are all beautiful fantasies entrusted by the common people.In the real situation, the most reasonable thing is that the jade seal fell into the hands of the son emperor Shi Jingtang.

Although the Song Dynasty was the final winner of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Shi Jingtang was not wiped out by the Song Dynasty.

Let me talk about cold knowledge about the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Suppose a person was born in 887, and he was a commoner in the Tang Dynasty. Until he was crowned at the age of 20, the emperor who sat on the dragon chair in 907 was still the grand lord of the Li family.

But in the next 53 years, he will experience one emperor after another like a horse watching flowers. From the Houliang, Houtang, Houjin, Houhan, and Houzhou, the position of the emperor is like beating drums to pass flowers.

It was not until 960 that the Song Dynasty was established.

You can say that he is from the Tang Dynasty, you can also say that he is from the Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou dynasties, and of course you can also say that he is from the Song Dynasty.

For example, Fu Yanqing, a well-known official of the Song Dynasty, was born in the Tang Dynasty. As a result, he fought in the Song Dynasty for many years and became a grand master. His three daughters Fu Jinzhan, Fu Jinhuan, and Fu Jinding all became queens.

A person has gone through seven dynasties and served as the father-in-law of three emperors. This life experience is simply wonderful and exciting.

Through Fu Yanqing, you can probably understand how chaotic the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are.

Zhang Jun sorted out the historical context for everyone, and said: "When Shi Jin fell, the emperor was Shi Chonggui, the son of Shi Jingtang."

"He sent envoys Fengbiao, National Treasure, and Jinyin to surrender to Khitan. He wanted to meet the Khitan army with the Queen Mother, but was rejected. The Khitan emperor ordered Shi Chonggui to be the doctor of Guanglu, the inspector Taiwei, and the Marquis of Yiyi. The fief is remote, in Huanglong Mansion on the border of Bohai Sea."

"When Shi Chonggui's family was traveling northward, sometimes they couldn't eat, so they had to kill animals to eat. The whole group ate and slept in the open, starved and humiliated, and finally arrived at Huanglong Mansion. The mother of the Liao Dynasty summoned them to Huaizhou. A thousand miles to the northwest of the mansion, Shi Chonggui had no choice but to go back on the road."

"In the second year of Liao Tianlu (948), when Yeluruan came to Liaoyang, Shi Chonggui wore a white gauze hat to worship her. Shi Chonggui had a daughter, and Yeluruan's wife and brother asked for her, but she refused because she was young. Within a few days, Yeluruan sent someone to seize her. Go, give it to my wife and brother."

"In the third year of Tianlu (949), Shi Chonggui's family was allowed to live in Jianzhou. Halfway through the journey, Shi Chonggui's biological mother An Fei died of illness. After arriving in Jianzhou, he acquired more than 50 hectares of land. Shi Chonggui ordered a group of people to build houses and divide the fields for farming. This year, Yelujing, the son of Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, forcibly married Shi Chonggui's favorite concubines, Zhao and Nie, and left. Shi Chonggui was filled with grief and indignation, but he had no choice."

"His wife and daughter are so humiliated. Let alone the national treasure. After suffering so much, it is very likely that Shi Chonggui has already lost the national treasure to the Khitan."

Zhao Huan felt that this made sense.Although the Later Jin was followed by the Later Han, the Later Jin was destroyed by the Khitans.After the Khitan was destroyed, the Jin Dynasty occupied the Central Plains, but because the Khitan soldiers burned, killed and looted the Central Plains, they lost the support of the people, so they had to withdraw to the north.

In February of that year, Liu Zhiyuan seized the opportunity, proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan, changed the name of the country to Han, and then conquered and settled in Bianzhou.

When Shi Chonggui begged Khitan to surrender, he presented national treasures and gold seals, which most likely included the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.Even if you don't sacrifice, you won't be able to keep it in the miserable journey ahead.

When Shi Jingtang invaded Luoyang, the Chuanguo Yuxi was definitely in the Xuanwu Tower in Luoyang.

The emperor, empress dowager, empress, and prince all died in this building. Shi Jingtang will definitely clean up the Xuanwu building.

Judging from this context, it is very likely that the Chuanguo Yuxi was passed on to the Khitan people.

Therefore, the later Han, Zhou, and Song dynasties never saw the Chuanguo Yuxi when they conquered Bianzhou.

Zhao Huan said: "As Qing said, if the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom had not been destroyed by the Xuanwu Tower, it must have been in the hands of the Liao Kingdom?"

Zhang Jun nodded and said, "I have recently checked the ancient books of the Liao Kingdom, and there is a jade seal in the history of the Liao Dynasty, which is called the Treasure of the Kingdom of the Great Wei Shou Han. This should be the Jade Seal of the Kingdom."

Su Chi asked curiously: "It shouldn't be. I once read history books. According to the "Book of Wei", Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to abdicate, so he ordered someone to engrave official characters on the shoulder of the Chuan Guoxie. To prove that it was not usurped by the Han Dynasty. Therefore, what is engraved on the jade seal is the seal of the great Wei Shou Han, not the treasure of the Wei Shou Han."

Zhang Jun said: "According to the "Book of Wei", this is indeed the case. If the history of the Liao Dynasty records that it is the seal of Wei Shou Han's inheritance, then the old man will doubt its authenticity."

"Why is this?" Many people in the hall were aroused interest.

Of course, Zuodu Censor refused to let go of this opportunity to show off his knowledge, and said first: "So that the officials will know that when Wu Zetian usurped the throne in the previous Tang Dynasty, the seal was changed to a treasure. Therefore, the inscription on the seal was changed from Cao Pi's original text. In the former Tang Dynasty, Yuxi was not called Chuanguo Yuxi, but was renamed Shoumingbao."

As we all know, the emperor without this jade seal is called the Baiban emperor.

When Yongjia traveled to the south, the Sima family emperor in the Eastern Jin Dynasty lost this jade seal, and the emperor was even ridiculed and despised by the Fa family.

It wasn't until the Jin Dynasty generals took back the jade seal from Ran Min that the Sima family's throne was considered secure.

Basically, if you have this national treasure, you can't help but promote it.

The Liao State once directly asked Jinshi to write an article with the topic of "The orthodox Fu who has passed down the national treasure" in the imperial examination.

Zhao Huan stroked the hilt of the sword in front of the table, and asked with a sharp demeanor, "Xiliao and Dongliao have the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in their hands, do you dare to offer it?"

We must know that if virtue does not match, there will be disasters.

If the imperial court knew that Yuxi was in the hands of a vassal state, what would happen was obvious.

Even if one hundred thousand royal masters are dispatched and the expedition is thousands of miles away, they must conquer the country and exterminate the species to get back the jade seal.

With the current strength of Xiliao and Dongliao, they would not dare to hide the jade seal even if they were crazy.

This kind of national treasure is not dedicated to the emperor, nor paid tribute to the suzerain, but is held by oneself.What are they going to do?Is it possible that you still want the virtuous in the world to live there?
Zhang Jun immediately explained to Zhao Huan: "The jade seal was not left in the hands of Dongliao and Xiliao. In the second year of Emperor Tianzuo's Baoda reign, the Jin soldiers approached day by day. Emperor Tianzuo went into exile, and the traditional national treasure was lost in Sanggan River."

The Sanggan River is near Yanjing, and the Song army never occupied it for a long time in history, so there is no way to know about Yuxi.

Zhao Huan happily asked: "So the jade seal was found on Hebei Road?"

Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "It's not on Hebei Road, but in the middle of the river."

Zhao Huan was surprised how the jade seal lost on Hebei Road had found its way to the middle of the river.

You must know that in the second year of Baoda, when Emperor Tianzuo was in power, Zhao Huan was already the emperor.

During this period, it is impossible for any major changes to occur.
