Chapter 245 Ordered to Heaven
Qin Mubai understands Li Ke's mood. Probably, he thought that this might be the mausoleum of Emperor Yang - that was the burial place of his grandfather. How could he allow others to defile him?
However, didn't Yang Guang, the former emperor of the Sui Dynasty, die in Jiangnan Jiangdu?
In those years, Yu Wenhua launched a mutiny to force Emperor Yang of Sui. As an emperor, Yang Guang didn't even use a decent coffin after his death. His queen took apart the bed board and made a small coffin, which was secretly buried under the Liuzhu Hall of Jiangdu Palace. It was not until the Tang Dynasty pacified the south of the Yangtze River that Yu Zhenguan was buried in Leitang with the imperial ceremony in the fifth year. This happened a few years ago, and now it is almost known all over the world!
Just as Qin Mubai was puzzled, Li Ke whispered, "Mubai, accompany me into the hall."
Qin Mubai was slightly stunned and nodded.
Li Ke has never called himself "the king" in front of Qin Mubai, and he called the tomb here "the hall". It can be seen that his mood is very solemn, as if he only appeared when he was in the upper court.
Li Ke stood up straight, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the hall with his head held high. Qin Mubai followed closely and also followed in.
The "Den" is very bright and silky. Everything is like the official decoration of the Jinluan Hall. There is a red carpet under his feet, and there are soldiers and guards on the side. Of course, it is a doll of Shi Che, who wears armor and is vivid.
There are also civil and military officials under the hall, all of which are the same Shi Che dolls. Looking at their official robes, it is indeed the thing of the former Sui.
Qin Mubai now understands what Zhao Chong's grandfather's set of bright light armor is used for - he is a military officer, wearing this suit of military armor and coming to the emperor!
Li Ke's footsteps were relatively heavy. He walked forward slowly, looking at the Jinluan Hall in front of him without blinking.
But there is only a dragon chair in the Jinluan Hall, and there is no one. The "civilian and military officials" were also silent, and the footsteps of the two of them sounded abruptly in this empty palace, shocking a lot of dust from the former Sui.
At the beginning, it has been a hundred years. At this moment, Qin Mubai clearly feels like this. Decades have passed, the country is easy to change the big waves, and the former emperor Yang Guang has turned into dust. But how can this scene not remind people of him?
The young man was in charge of Wu Xun. At the age of 20, he marched south and north to unify the world. In this regard, Yang Guang's martial arts were not inferior to Li Shimin's. Later, the form of his accession to the throne was roughly the same as that of Li Shimin - he killed his brother and forced his father to usurp the throne. After ascending the throne, Yang Guang showed great ambition. He defeated the Khitan and destroyed Tuyuhun. He was worshipped by others and called the "Holy Khan". He opened an imperial examination and dug the canal. Although he worked hard and hurt money, he has benefited from the influence of thousands of years. He was so happy that he made an expedition to Goryeo in the east, which led to chaos in the world... His literary talent and temperament are as flying and horizontal as his temperament. Throughout Yang Guang's life, it was a wonderful song. He also played the two roles of a hero and a bear at the same time.
The historians of the Tang Dynasty who have the right to speak are more smearing Yang Guang. Since even Li Yuan has given him a nickname of "Yang", it is difficult for these historians to have to do so.
Yang, a good inner and far salute is called Yang, to go to the distant people is called Yang, and to abuse the people against the sky is called Yang, which is almost the worst nickname. It can be said to be a strong humiliating and demeaning.
With Li Yuan, the initiator, under the tireless efforts of the historians of the Tang Dynasty, coupled with the verbal criticism of the moral kings for more than a thousand years, Yang Guang has become synonymous with tyrants and is useless.
It's good that he used to be tyrannical, but it can't erase his success and contribution.
History has always been written by the victors, but this does not mean that the traces of historical truth can be destroyed. The Grand Canal, the imperial examination, and the unification of China that has been turbulent for more than 300 years, no one can erase these. However, there are always some masters of the right to speak, who always like to confuse the audience with the means of fooling the people, and whitewash and distort history by covering their ears and stealing bells.
However, such a stupid method always works. The public is full of money, and it will become a reality after lying a thousand times. Therefore, the real Yang Guang in history became blurred, and the tyrant Emperor Yang was infinitely magnified and was whipped for thousands of years.
- In fact, the gains and losses are mixed, which is probably the most pertinent evaluation of Yang Guang.
......
For a moment, Qin Mubai and Li Ke fell into a tacit silence, as if they were listening to the songs from the former Sui Dynasty and recalling the dusty history.
The scene in front of them made them appear to be in the Jinluan Hall of the former Sui imperial palace. Hundreds of officials in the hall stood up with the majesty of Jiashi. On the dragon chair sat the rich and ambitious emperor Yang Guang, who was crowned with a curtain. ** He was flying with an emperor's spirit and was guiding the country to issue political strategies...
I don't know how long it took. Li Ke coughed gently and said, "Mu Bai, should we look around?"
"It makes sense." Qin Mubai smiled and said in a solemn atmosphere, "Originally, we came to hunt for treasure."
"Just don't destroy these relics." Li Ke said.
"Of course." Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, "It's just the two of us. Just walk around and have a look. Just think of it as sightseeing."
"That's good."
Li Ke nodded and began to look around. First, he looked at the earth puppet stone people for a while, and then watched the jade pillar Panlong for a while, but Qin Mubai found that he had always been a little heartless - in fact, Qin Mubai was not like this?
The core area of the whole hall is, of course, the empty dragon chair - if there is something good, it must be there!
It is understandable that Li Ke has scruples, because this may be Li Guang's posthumous palace. He is embarrassed to offend his grandfather, which is understandable. Moreover... If a prince is so eager to go to the dragon chair of Jinluan Hall, he will always have a little suspicion of "Sima Zhao".
"Your Highness, why don't we go to the throne of the dragon chair?" Therefore, Qin Mubai proposed.
A touch of joy flashed in Li Ke's eyes, but he just nodded casually: "Okay."
So the two of them divided into the dragon path and went to the dragon position.
The pure gold dragon chair is like a fake replacement; after many years, there has been no rotten imperial brocade, and the inkstone pen holder made of ink jade are all extremely precious!
These objects and utensils make Qin Mubai and Li Ke a little stunned - because these are absolutely real guys, not the kind of shoddy products made by ambitious people at all!
That is to say, this is really the posthumous palace of the former Emperor Yang of Sui?!
After a moment, all the attention of the two was completely attracted by one thing -
The incense wood box placed on the imperial case is carved with nine dragons.
Li Ke almost held his breath and whispered, "Mu Bai, what do you think...what would that be?"
"Open it and you will know?" Qin Mubai frowned heavily and said carefully.
He can't be careless.
Because according to common sense, the box placed in this position on the imperial case, decorated with this kind of Jiupanlong, will only contain one thing--
The imperial seal of the country!
"You... go and open it!" Li Ke swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.
"Good." Qin Mubai nodded and stretched out his hands to hold the incense wood box. Try to feel it a little harder, sink!
Obviously, it is not empty.
On one side of his surprise, Li Ke also showed a happy look, but there was a trace of panic in the middle!
At this moment, Qin Mubai had opened the box.
The strange light burns the eyes, and the divine object appears!
"Realally! ..." The two couldn't help blurted out in unison!
Pure white jade, four inches square, five dragons, noble spirit!
Li Ke grabbed the jade seal with trembling hands and hurriedly turned over the bottom surface. He immediately widened his eyes and said, "I was ordered by heaven to live forever!"
"This is the seal pen of Li Si, the prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. It won't be wrong." Li Ke's face turned a little white and muttered nervously, "It's really... Chuanguo Yuxi!"
The two of them were shocked at the same time: "If this is the real jade seal, what does the emperor use now?"
At the same time, they were silent, and the two looked at each other in panic and speechless.
After being stunned for a long time, Li Ke carefully put the jade seal into the box, took a deep breath to calm down, and said, "It is said that after the death of the former Sui Dynasty, Empress Xiao, with the emperor Yang Sun Zhengdao, fled to the northern desert with the jade seal and attached to the Turks. A few years ago, Li Jingping destroyed the Turks. Empress Xiao came back with the seal, and her father was very happy. Before that, because there was no national jade seal, the father engraved several seals such as 'the order treasure' and 'the fate treasure' to comfort himself. Now, we can't identify the authenticity of this jade seal. Unless we can find it here as proof of authenticity!"
Qin Mubai nodded and said, "It is said that the real jade seal once broke a corner and decorated it with gold. I seemed to see this place just now. However, I have also seen the jade seal in the emperor's hand, which is almost the same as what we see now. It is difficult to distinguish whether it is true or false.
In fact, Qin Mubai wants to say that if you want to know the truth of the matter, don't you know if you ask Empress Xiao? - Isn't she in Li Shimin's harem now?!
But such a thing is really too taboo. Qin Mubai didn't say anything.
It's not just such a small thing to avoid. Yuxi is at most an antique for our people, a simple symbol. In the modern era of rampant counterfeiting, we don't care about these at all.
But the ancients didn't think so. Yuxi, in their view, is a symbol of imperial power. The emperors of all dynasties have taken this seal as a symbol, which is like a treasure and an important weapon of the country. If you get it, it symbolizes that it is "underly ordered by heaven", and if it is lost, it shows that it is "exhausted". Anyone who ascends to the throne without this seal is ridiculed as the "white emperor", which seems to be lack of confidence and despised by the world. Even a wise man like Li Shimin has ascended the throne for several years and will be worried about not getting the real jade seal.
But at this moment, Yuxi fell into the hands of Li Ke by mistake!
Qin Mubai can imagine how complicated Li Ke's mood is at this time. What he wants to do most now is probably to accurately confirm that this jade seal is true or false!
"Mu Bai, let's look around and see if there are any other clues to prove the authenticity of this seal!" Li Ke said solemnly, "It's a big deal. We must be careful."
Qin Mubai nodded gently: "I understand."
