Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

And a new sky appeared.

Maybe it’s because the video just now was about the imperial seal.

The new video footage is actually a rough gem!
NCM.

In the light of the He Shi Bi that is not dazzling but makes people feel extremely shining.

Tianmu began to formally narrate:

[If there was a hot search list in ancient times, He Shi Bi would definitely be the super top trend that dominated the screen for two thousand years. ]

[It was a stone used as a "fraud tool" and turned into a royal seal that symbolizes imperial power.]

[The Heshi Bi is not only a rare and beautiful jade. ]

[It also carries countless thrilling historical stories! ]

[From the power struggle during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the symbol of imperial power during the Qin and Han Dynasties. ]

[Its fate is closely linked to the rise and fall of Chinese civilization. ]

[It has also become one of the most legendary treasures in the long river of history. ]

[The story of the Heshi Bi began in the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period. ]

[According to ancient books such as Han Feizi, a Chu native named Bian He discovered an uncut jade in Jingshan (now in Nanzhang County, Hubei).]

[Bian He was convinced that this was a rare treasure, and presented the jade to King Li of Chu and King Wu of Chu.]

[King Chu Li's jade craftsman took a look and said calmly: "This is just an ordinary stone, you liar!"]

[King Li of Chu was furious and cut off Bian He's left foot for deceiving the king.]

[Bian He was not convinced, and after King Wu of Chu ascended the throne, he went to offer treasures again.]

[History repeated itself—the jade craftsman still identified it as a fake, and Bian He lost his right foot again.]

[Until King Wen of Chu came to power, Bian He held the jade and cried for three days and three nights at the foot of Jingshan Mountain, his tears and blood flowing like a river.]

【King Wen was moved by his sincerity and ordered his men to cut open the jade, and indeed they found a piece of unrivaled jade.】

【So it was named Heshi Bi. 】

[Directly ranked among the national treasures of the Chu State. 】

When the commentators saw this, they couldn't hold back any longer.

"How miserable! Bian He."

"The outside of jade is stone, and the mediocre jade craftsman couldn't identify it, so Bian He was hurt!"

"The earliest gambling on stones, right?"

"Modern instruments can do the job with just one scan, but we still suffer from the lack of technology."

"This King of Chu is really something. Even if you think it's a fake, there's no need to chop off its legs."

"It may be a warning to others to stop harassing them."

……

The sky continues.

[The Heshi Bi was regarded as a national treasure in the Chu State, but as the Chu State declined, its fate also took a turn.]

[The Heshi Bi passed into the hands of the State of Zhao.]

[As for how the Heshi Bi ended up in the State of Zhao? ]

[It is not recorded in history books, but it is likely that they were traded away after the decline of the Chu State.]

[During this period, the State of Zhao was at its peak, and the State of Qin was also eyeing this "treasure passed down throughout the world".]

[At that time, after Shang Yang's reforms, Qin State became increasingly powerful and gradually became the hegemon among the seven major powers in the Warring States Period. ]

[When King Zhaoxiang of Qin heard that the Heshi Bi was in Zhao State, he came up with an idea.]

[In 283 BC, King Zhaoxiang of Qin proposed to exchange cities for the Heshi Bi.]

【After receiving the request from the King of Qin, the King of Zhao was caught in a dilemma.】

[He knew very well that Qin was powerful. If he did not agree to the king's request, he would be afraid of angering the king and inviting an attack from Qin.]

[But if she agreed, she was worried that the King of Qin was just pretending to exchange the city, and she would end up with the Heshi Bi being cheated away and not getting the city.]

【Faced with this dilemma, King Huiwen of Zhao sent Lin Xiangru to Qin with the jade. 】

[After Lin Xiangru brought the Heshi Bi to the Qin State, he found that the King of Qin had no intention of giving him the city and just wanted to get it for free.]

【So, Lin Xiangru started his extreme operation. 】

[Lin Xiangru stepped forward and said to the King of Qin: "Although this Heshi Bi is exquisite, it still has a flaw. Let me point it out to the King."]

【The King of Qin believed it and handed the Heshi Bi to Lin Xiangru.】

【After Lin Xiangru took the Heshi Bi, he took a few steps back. 】

[Standing against the pillar, with eyes wide open, he said to the King of Qin:]

[“The king wants to obtain the Heshi Bi, so he sends someone to Zhao to deliver a letter to negotiate.”]

[“The King of Zhao summoned all his ministers to discuss the matter. Everyone believed that Qin was greedy and wanted to use empty words to cheat the Heshi Bi, relying on its own strength. It would never fulfill its promise of fifteen cities.”]

[“But I think that even among ordinary people, people will not deceive each other, let alone among great powers!”]

[“Out of respect for Qin, the King of Zhao fasted for five days before sending me with the Heshi Bi.”]

[“But you, my king, received me in an ordinary palace with an arrogant attitude. After you received the Heshi Bi, you passed it to your concubines to admire. This is disrespectful to the State of Zhao.”]

[“I don’t think the king is sincere enough to exchange the city for the He’s Jade, so I want the He’s Jade back.”]

[“If the king insists on forcing me, I will smash my head on this pillar along with the Heshi Bi!”]

[After saying this, Lin Xiangru pretended to hit the pillar. The King of Qin was worried that Lin Xiangru would really break the Heshi Bi.]

[He felt ashamed that he could not gain any benefit, so he apologized immediately and expressed his willingness to give 15 cities to Zhao.]

【Lin Xiangru knew that the King of Qin was just trying to please him, so he said to him:】

[“When the King of Zhao presented the Heshi Bi to me, he fasted for five days. Your Majesty should also fast for five days and hold a grand ceremony in the court before I dare to present the Heshi Bi to you.”]

【The King of Qin had no choice but to agree.】

[This is equivalent to creating a sense of ceremony, which increases the heat of the matter. ]

[Increased the cost of Qin Wang's robbery.]

[After Lin Xiangru returned to his residence, he immediately sent someone to disguise himself and secretly return to Zhao State with the Heshi Bi through a small road.]

【Five days later, the King of Qin held a grand ceremony in the court to prepare to accept the Heshi Bi.】

【Lin Xiangru came to the court empty-handed and said to the King of Qin:】

[“Since Duke Mu of Qin, there have been more than 20 monarchs, and not one of them kept his promise.”]

[“I am worried that I will be deceived by the king and betray the king of Zhao’s trust.”]

[“So I have sent someone to return the Heshi Bi to Zhao.”]

[“Qin is strong, Zhao is weak.”]

[“If you really want the Heshi Bi, please hand over the city and send an envoy to Zhao State. The King of Zhao will not dare to fail to send the Heshi Bi.”]

[“I know I have deceived the king. I deserve death. Please punish me.”]

【The King of Qin and his ministers were shocked and angry when they heard what Lin Xiangru said.】

【But the King of Qin thought that even if he killed Lin Xiangru, he would not be able to obtain the Heshi Bi.】

[On the contrary, it would damage the relationship between Qin and Zhao, and further reduce Qin's already low diplomatic credibility.]

[It's meaningless except for venting anger. ]

【So they had no choice but to let Lin Xiangru return home. 】

【This is the famous story of "Returning the Jade to Zhao" in history. 】【Lin Xiangru also became a god in one battle and became the top star of Zhao State. 】

【Thanks to this legendary diplomatic story, the Heshi Bi became even more famous. 】

Outside the sky.

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin played with the jade seal in his hand.

"Before we talked about Li Mu, now we are talking about Lin Xiangru."

"It must be said that the soldiers of Zhao fought bravely, the army was strong, and there were famous generals and good ministers. They had the potential to dominate the country."

"But in the later period of Zhao, the king was incompetent and listened to slander, which led to the death of Li Mu and the country gradually declined."

Yuchi Gong heard this and said in a rough voice.

"King Qian of Zhao was so stupid and incompetent that he believed in slander and killed Li Mu, thus destroying his own Great Wall! If he had a little courage and wisdom, why would he have been destroyed by Qin?"

Fang Xuanling is also a history expert.

I have the same feeling as Li Shimin.

"Zhao State had no shortage of good generals and wise ministers, but it repeatedly missed good opportunities due to its king's short-sightedness."

Li Shimin nodded slightly. "Yes, the monarch is the master of a country, and his decisions are related to the rise and fall of the country."

"The longer I am emperor, the more I feel the weight of my responsibility."

While Fang Xuanling was listening to Li Shimin's words, he also praised Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty cares about the country and is willing to accept advice. This is a blessing for all the people!"

……

Tianmu also continues to tell the final stage.

[At the end of the Warring States Period, the Qin State destroyed the Zhao State, and the Heshi Bi finally fell into the hands of Ying Zheng. ]

[After unifying the six kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang ordered craftsmen to carve the Heshi Bi into a "Imperial Seal".]

[The seal reads "Received the Mandate from Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper Eternally", which declares the legitimacy of the imperial power.]

[It became a symbol of imperial power! ]

[Since then, the Heshi Bi has been upgraded from a piece of precious jade that symbolizes the prestige of the princes to the supreme token of the empire. ]

[After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the imperial seal passed through the Han, Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, becoming the proof of the emperor's "mandate of heaven".]

[The Imperial Seal became the business license of successive emperors; without it, it was considered an unlicensed business.]

【This is the white board emperor who is ridiculed. 】

[However, during the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial seal mysteriously disappeared, and there has been no confirmed record since then.]

[Although there have been many reports of "reappearance" in later generations, none of them can be confirmed.]

[Even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, emperors still claimed that the imperial seal had been lost by the previous dynasty, while secretly replicating it to prove their legitimacy.]

【The emperors regretted not having the Heshi Bi. 】

[But for the Heshi Bi, its disappearance adds the final suspense to this legend. ]

[It has become a metaphor in Chinese culture that "if you get it, it is the destiny of heaven, but if you lose it, your luck is gone." ]

[According to the description in Records of Strange Things, the Heshi Bi is "green when viewed from the side and white when viewed from the front" and can shine brightly in the dark. ]

【Based on this description, experts speculate that its material may be rare labradorite. 】

【However, the academic community has not yet reached a conclusion. 】

【But the material is no longer important. 】

[From Bian He's tragic jade offering, to Lin Xiangru's witty maneuvers, to Qin Shihuang's imperial ambitions. ]

[The Heshi Bi has become a cultural symbol that transcends material things. ]

[It bears witness to the interweaving of loyalty and intrigue, art and politics.]

[Its legend is just like the jade itself - it has survived many hardships but its brilliance remains undimmed.]

……

The video ends here and comments start flying out.

"Zheng Ge: Future generations will have to rely on snatching my imperial seal to prove their legitimacy!"

"The Imperial Seal survived the chaos of the late Qin Dynasty, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but in the end it was taken away by the crazy people of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms."

"Jade is afraid of high temperatures. What a pity. It must have been burned by Li Congke."

"The so-called jade and stone are destroyed together."

"Maybe the ones in Dongting Lake haven't been fished out yet!"

"Ying Zheng threw the Heshi Bi into the lake for eight years, but it can still be found. It must be fake."

"According to records, there were seven or eight imperial seals in existence at the same time... The Eastern Jin Dynasty collected more than three of them."

"What a pity, I can't find it."

"The only thing comparable to the Imperial Seal is the Nine Cauldrons."

"Is it that exaggerated? When I watch treasure appraisal programs, I see a Heshi Bi almost every few episodes. "

"Yes, have you ever seen the imperial seal weighing more than 20 kilograms? It was on the show."

……

And outside the canopy.

Song.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the legendary story of passing the imperial seal on the sky curtain.

I also thought of my own Song Dynasty, which ended the chaos since the end of the Tang Dynasty.

However, when the Song Dynasty was founded, there was no imperial seal as a national treasure.

But his throne was usurped by bullying an orphan and a widow.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was thinking, how great it would be if he could possess the imperial seal and the Heshi Bi as the endorsement of his imperial power?

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were full of regret:
"This Heshi Bi has gone through several dynasties, carries countless legends, and symbolizes supreme power and glory."

"It's a pity that since the founding of the Song Dynasty, I have never had the chance to obtain this treasure."

Zhao Pu, who was standing by, saw this and said, "Your Majesty, are you envious of Qin Shi Huang?"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head: "I don't envy his tyranny, but..."

"Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has been lacking such a national treasure."

"If the Song Dynasty could possess it, it would not only demonstrate the prestige of our country, but also leave a good story for future generations."

Zhao Guangyi had the same idea.

"Although our dynasty has gained the most righteous rule in the world, if we could have this thing..."

"Those who are talking behind the scenes can shut up."

Zhao Kuangyin also smiled and continued:

"It's a pity that the jade seal has disappeared since the fall of the Later Tang Dynasty. I have sent people to investigate secretly for more than ten years, but I haven't found even a decent fake."

"But looking at the sky, I have an idea."

"Emperor Ying Zheng of Qin turned the Heshi Bi into a jade seal, which has been passed down for thousands of years and is the treasure of China."

"If I also go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the heavens, I will announce the engraving of the imperial seal of the Song Dynasty."

"When the world turns more than a thousand years from now, will the Imperial Seal of the Song Dynasty also become a national treasure that will be passed down for a thousand years?" (End of this chapter)
