The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 619 Chuan Guo Yuxi (addition)
"Ninth brother, I know you are unwilling, and I know the bitterness in your heart!" Zhao Yougong comforted Zhao Gou, and said anxiously: "But right now, it's not about entanglement and worrying about the past. If you can't complete the things the Supreme Emperor asked, We really failed to live up to our entrustment, so what should we do?"

Zhao Gou murmured: "I really don't want such a country!"

"If you don't want it, you have to!" Zhao Yougong said without a doubt, "This is what the Supreme Emperor has been looking forward to. If you really want to avenge the Supreme Emperor, or fulfill his wish, you must ascend to the throne of God. Become the honor of the Ninth Five-Year."

"This road is the road you must take. It has been doomed since you came back from the great victory. You can't escape even if you want to. This is your destiny and your responsibility. If you don't become the emperor, Whoever is the emperor, then you can guarantee that he will support you unconditionally and will not think wildly, will he become a fatuous and incompetent king again. "

"You can do it!" Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Yougong seriously, and said: "If the second elder brother becomes the emperor, he will unconditionally support me in resisting the golden soldiers, and he will not bow his head in front of the golden men, nor will he back down even a single point."

"Ninth brother!" Zhao Yougong yelled, "You are the son of the Supreme Emperor, and you have the qualifications to inherit the great line. I am just a collateral descendant, not qualified nor capable of deterring the court. Now that the second emperor has been captured, only Only by sitting in the town can you be safe and worry-free."

Zhao Gou didn't want to be the emperor from the bottom of his heart, and he wanted power just to protect himself.If there is no real power in his hands, his dream cannot be realized.If there is a war with the Jinbing, if such a thing happens again, how many soldiers will die in vain.

However, Zhao Gou knew in his heart that he held great power not to inherit the throne.If he really wanted to become emperor, he would have shown it as early as when Zhao Ji was the emperor, then nothing would have happened.There are many things in being an emperor, you can't just do whatever you want, you must consider the overall situation.

So what if you hold the power of life and death, and what is the point of being an emperor if you lose your freedom and happiness.Living in a cold and impersonal palace, and sitting on a high dragon chair, everyone is looking at you, and everyone must obey your will, but you can't be free, and you will lose if you gain.

If Zhao Gou agreed to become emperor, he would lose his former freedom. In the face of power and freedom, Zhao Gou really wanted to be free, but he couldn't help himself, so he could only choose to become emperor.After thinking about it, Zhao Hou sighed, and he nodded in agreement.

Zhao Yougong was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Ninth Brother, I have one more thing for you!"

"What?" Zhao Gou asked suspiciously.

Zhao Yougong smiled mysteriously: "If you want to ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, without this object, it would be injustice!"

"Chuan Guo Yuxi!" Zhao Gou was shocked.

Zhao Yougong nodded and said, "That's right, it's the Jade Seal of Chuanguo!"

"Isn't the Chuanguo Yuxi in the palace? Why is it here with you?" Zhao Gou couldn't understand even more. The Chuanguo Yuxi was clearly in the box in the imperial study, so why it was here with Zhao Yougong, he really didn't understand.

"Compared with this jade seal in the imperial palace, it is not of the same grade at all, it cannot be compared!"

Zhao Yougong laughed unceasingly, he quickly left the room, and after a while, there was a brocade box in his hand.When Zhao Gou opened the brocade box, he saw a piece of crystal-clear jade, four inches in diameter, with the seal of the Five Dragons in New York. In addition, one corner of this seal was patched with gold.

When he turned it over, what caught his eyes was the eight characters "Designed from Heaven, Longevity and Prosperity" engraved in small seal script, surrounded by patterns of double dragons playing with pearls, with three pointed wavy lines at the bottom, which are also double-sided, and the inner border is thicker. Thin, with thicker outer lines.

"This... this is..." Zhao Gou was stunned when he saw this thing.

Zhao Yougong smiled and said: "That's right, this is the jade seal handed down from the first emperor. It is not the same as the jade seal in the palace. The jade seal in the palace is two seals of the 'Emperor's Divine Treasure' handed down by the Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Fang, and later the Supreme Emperor himself engraved ten square seals."

"Even so, it is not as important as this seal. The imperial decree was also stamped with this seal, in order for you to be enthroned as emperor in a legitimate way."

Zhao Gou was dumbfounded, he was playing with the Chuanguo Yuxi in his hand, he couldn't believe it.

According to legend, when the first emperor got the Heshibi, he ordered Li Si to use it to carve the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, which later became a symbol of the orthodoxness of the emperors of all dynasties.According to records, Shi Jingtang, the emperor of the late Jin Dynasty, led the Khitan army to Luoyang, and Li Congke, the late emperor of the late Tang Dynasty, climbed the Xuanwu Tower with the Chuan Guoxie in his arms and set himself on fire, and the Chuanguo Yuxi disappeared.

"Second brother, how did the father get this imperial jade seal?"

Zhao Yougong frowned and said: "This matter is related to you. On the day you led the army to defeat the Liao army, my father was also in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. In fact, since the beginning of Emperor Taizu, my dynasty has not been interrupted. I went to search for the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, and heard rumors that it was in the Liao Dynasty, so my father led the people from the villa to search for it for several days in the Liao Dynasty, and finally found the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom in the imperial palace of the Liao Dynasty."

"My father said that when they found this jade seal, it was treated like a sundry item and thrown in the treasure house at will. There are many treasures there, and none of them are priceless. But compared with this one, those It doesn't matter, but Lord Liao doesn't know anything."

It is precisely because the emperor of the Liao Dynasty did not know the goods, and did not find that this object was the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, so it has been lying in the treasure house of the Liao Dynasty imperial palace.If they were discovered, they would have been snatched away long ago.

Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "In this way, the historical records are wrong!"

"I don't know the exact situation, it's been so many years, how can I know what it was like at that time." Zhao Yougong shook his head and said: "But my father guessed that Shi Jingtang should have obtained the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, but he didn't announce it to the public. Later, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were ceded to the Liao people, that is to say, when they raided the Houtang treasury, the Liao people also took it away."

"Of course, there is another guess. Even if the last emperor of the later Tang Dynasty set himself on fire, this object would not be burned. It was just smoked to a bad shape. When the father found it, it was pitch black, and he couldn't tell what it was. If it wasn’t for referring to historical records, I’m afraid I would have missed it.”

Zhao Gou didn't know how to talk about it, but in a word, holding the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in his hand is the most important weapon of the country, and he was "destined by heaven" for it.If it is lost, it is "exhausted".Although this seal is only a seal, it is of extraordinary significance and should not be underestimated.

Zhao Yougong also obeyed the emperor's last order and handed over the object intact to Zhao Gou.Even if there is no imperial edict, with Zhao Gou's power and methods, coupled with this seal, it is comparable to the imperial edict.Now, both of them are complete, which means that Zhao Gou is the real emperor of Song Dynasty and has been protected by God.
