It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

When Yang Xianrong opened the door of the utility room, he was a little shocked. Before, she asked Cuixi to pile some unnecessary furniture and broken things here. But at this moment, the place was turned into an extremely exquisite small study room, with white walls and two huge bookcases standing against the wall, already filled with scrolls and letters. There is a large solid wooden table placed near the window of the house. The four treasures of the study on it look very noble. A pearwood back chair is placed behind the desk, with soft cotton cushions with exquisite patterns on it, which makes it feel very comfortable.

"You..." Yang Xianrong looked at Sima Ying, who smiled at him.

Yang Xianrong walked in quickly, touched the desk, touched the bookcase, and then looked through the scrolls on the bookcase. They were all works by famous people. In addition to historical classics and celebrity calligraphy, there were also ghosts and ghosts. After reading the novel, Yang Xianrong couldn't help but shout out, "How did you get it? I've been looking for this book for a long time!"

"I am very powerful." Sima Ying also walked in.

"Yes, it's really amazing." Yang Xianrong finally smiled.

"These are some from my study. I thought you might like to see them, so I brought them here." Sima Ying had quietly taken Yang Xianrong's hand and touched it gently. She was so frightened that Yang Xianrong immediately He looked back at the door. Cui Xihuizhu and Zhao Zhuo were standing outside, and no one followed them.

"Don't do this." Yang Xianrong wanted to withdraw his hand, but Sima Ying laughed, "This is your home, why are you still afraid?"

"It's always bad." Yang Xianrong wanted to keep a straight face, but when he saw some precious Buddhist scriptures from the Western Regions, he couldn't help but laugh, "You actually have such a book?"

"Oh, I don't want to read it anyway, so I just keep it in the study as a decoration. Since you like to read it, I will naturally bring it to you." Sima Ying held her hand and did not let go, "Yang Bie Bah. , I will show you something, I guarantee you have never seen it before."

Sima Ying found a small painting from those scrolls, a very exquisite picture of a kingfisher. "Look carefully, what's so precious about this painting?"

Yang Xianrong touched the paper and knew that this was no ordinary painting, but a painting on silk. Just this silk should be worth a hundred taels of gold.

"Previous work?" she asked.

"Look again." Sima Ying was not in a hurry and slowly approached her. The masculine aura made Yang Xianrong blush a little and she couldn't help but hide quietly. But Sima Ying came over again and chuckled: "Yang Bie, what's going on?"

"You always want me to see it clearly, right?" Yang Xianrong still pushed him, placed the small painting on the long desk, and looked at it carefully. Some of the kingfishers in the picture are soaring, some are singing on the branches, and some are preening their feathers. The shape is vivid and very interesting. But it was signed with only one seal, and the eight words written on it were "Ordered by God, and you will live forever." Yang Xianrong's thoughts moved slightly, and he turned to look at Sima Ying: "This is it? Is this it? Is it true?"

"Really." Sima Ying nodded.

These eight characters come from the jade seal passed down from the country, which is the object of competition for everyone. Legend has it that after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he ordered someone to carve a jade seal, which he called the "Emperor's Seal". According to historical records, this jade seal is carved from white jade from Lantian, Shaanxi Province. It is four inches in diameter and has a chi-tiger button, which is said to be a dragon-fish-phoenix-bird button. On the front of the jade seal are engraved the words "Ordered by Heaven, you will live long and prosperous". They were written in large seal script by Prime Minister Li Si as a token of "the divine power of the emperor, orthodoxy and legality". Since then, emperors of all dynasties have regarded the jade seal passed down as an important symbol of power. It has not only become a coveted target for careerists, but also an important weapon for the central government to trust the country.

Those who obtain the jade seal can "take orders from heaven". Once they lose it, they are regarded as "exhausted." Even if they have a lot of troops and power, they will not dare to order the world for the emperor, otherwise they will be attacked by the people of the world.

At that time, Liu Bang led the peasant army to Xianyang and obtained the imperial seal, which he kept in Changle Palace. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped power and needed a jade seal to prove his legitimacy. At that time, the jade seal was in charge of his aunt, Wang Zhengjun, the Queen Mother of Xiaoyuan of Han Dynasty. In order to show his loyalty to Liu Hanbao, he would rather die than hand over the jade seal. In the end, Wang Zhengjun was forced to throw the jade seal to the ground while crying and cursing. Since then, the jade seal has lost a corner. Later, Wang Mang ordered people to fill up the missing corners with gold, but the jade seal still left flaws.

Wang Mang's new regime soon collapsed, and Wang Mang was executed. The rebels found the imperial seal from Wang Mang's body and proclaimed Liu Xuan the emperor. Liu Xuan was later defeated in a confrontation with the Red Eyebrow Army, so the Red Eyebrow Army supported the young emperor Liu Penzi on the throne with the help of the jade seal. Liu Penzi later also encountered failure, surrendered to Liu Xiu, who established the Eastern Han Dynasty, and presented the imperial seal to the state. The imperial seal returned to the Han Dynasty and was circulated among the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. He Jin and Yuan Shao entered the palace to serve the king, and the ten permanent attendants and eunuchs took the young emperor of Han and fled in a hurry. After a bloody suppression, Shi Changshi was killed and the jade seal disappeared! More than ten years later, eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was defeated and fled westward, setting fire to the Luoyang palace. Sun Jian, who was the first to invade Luoyang, salvaged the body of a palace maid from the Zhen Palace Well in the south of Luoyang City while putting out the fire, with a jade seal hanging from her neck. After seeing this, Sun Jian was overjoyed and wanted to take the jade seal as his own. Unexpectedly, Sun Jian's subordinates spread the news. The princes, led by the leader Yuan Shao, all wanted to get this jade seal, so they all had their own agendas and staged a jade seal dispute... …

Later, Sun Jian returned to Changsha with the jade seal. On the way, he was intercepted by Yuan Shao and Liu Biao and died of injuries. The jade seal fell into the hands of Yuan Shu. In short, both Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were defeated by Cao Cao, who held the emperor hostage to order the princes. The imperial seal once again returned to the hands of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

The Chuan Guo Jade Seal naturally became the symbol of imperial power of Cao Wei. Cao Pi also sent someone to carve the official Chinese characters "Da Wei receives the Han Chuan Guo Xi" on the shoulder of the Chuan Guo Jade Seal. After the Three Kingdoms were unified under the Jin Dynasty, the jade seal naturally also returned to the Jin Dynasty. Now, this jade seal should be in Sima Zhong's hands, but he has been unwilling to take it out. Many people even quietly went to his palace to search for the imperial seal, but there was still no trace.

Sima Zhong said that this was the decree passed down by the late emperor - this jade seal can only be used when the emperor ascends the throne or dies. Therefore, in other words, unless he dies, he will not show the imperial seal to everyone.

Yang Xianrong was naturally very curious and wanted to see this mysterious jade seal. However, she never saw it. But today it was Sima Ying who showed her the seal, which was also very good.

"This seal is real. Take a closer look. If you can get the imperial seal, you will know its authenticity." Sima Ying chuckled, but Yang Xianrong trembled in his heart.
