Chapter 58 Chapter Fifty-Eighth: Jade Seal of Chuanguo

During the time when Mr. Dong got up, my head was spinning non-stop. Although Mr. Dong said it easily, he wanted to hear our opinions, but with his qualifications and knowledge, he couldn't understand things. It was obvious that Da Ya and I couldn't tell the same thing.Knowing this is the case, why do you still have to let us see it?For a moment, I really couldn't figure out what kind of brain Dong Sanye was using. Seeing that Mr. Dong had laid out the things, I also leaned forward, and saw a piece of old parchment with a square foot and a yellowish color on the coffee table, with eight big characters written in the center: I also If you are worried, you dare not follow suit.

A square seal was stamped on the lower left corner of the paper. The printed text should be insect and bird seal script. It was crooked. I read it for a long time, but I could only see eight characters, but I couldn’t recognize any of them. I felt a chill in my heart. .It seems that today's embarrassment is considered a big embarrassment, and I don't even know a word, so what's the point of talking! I sneaked a peek at Da Ya, and saw that Da Ya's face was also clenched tightly together, almost turning into an eggplant skin color, his eyes were staring, his cheeks were bulging, and he was muttering without knowing it. What are you talking about, I guess it's a swollen face to pretend to be fat, and it's stiff there.

Dong Sanye took a sip of water after paving the paper, turned his head to look at Da Ya and me, didn't say anything, just smiled. Da Ya saw that Mr. Dong was staring at him, so he couldn't keep silent. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said to me: "Come on, this is not simple. Look at these eight big characters, which can be said to have profound meanings. It’s intriguing! For a while, I didn’t dare to talk nonsense and talk nonsense. Even the seal is quite exquisite, don’t you think?” When I heard it, I was almost annoyed by him.Talking a lot of nonsense is not equivalent to not talking, there is no way, I can only bite the bullet and comment: "Although this square seal is carved with a Yin knife, but this knife technique is stable and flexible, and the white space is laid out elegantly. Xiuyi, there is only one thing in heaven and earth, and it can be called a treasure in the hall, but I am very bad at writing in the study, so I dare not speak out."

After saying these words, my calf was twisted, and I braced myself and started talking. Anyway, I think it doesn’t matter if you carve the seal well or badly. There will definitely not be any seals that are exactly the same in the world. I say that, no one can choose. Nothing wrong with it.Without real talent and learning, you have to say ambiguous things. Dong Sanye has been listening to us very seriously, and he can't stop nodding.There was a wry smile in my heart, even I didn't know what I was talking nonsense, could it be that Mr. Dong understood it?There are so many wonders in this world!

Dong Sanye waited for us to finish talking, and told us with a smile that this was passed down from his family's ancestors, and it is not easy to keep it to this day. Speaking of this, Dong Sanye showed a wry smile: "You also know that my grandfather's generation was full of wars and chaos. Many things disappeared quietly during that time. If this thing hadn't been sewn on the In my father's clothes, I'm afraid it would have been wiped out long ago." As he spoke, Third Master Dong stared at the piece of parchment and remained motionless.His eyes were deep, his expression was solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking.It took a long time before I came back to my senses, smiled at us apologetically, laughed at myself as an elderly person, and lost my mind while talking, shook my head again, pointed to this piece of parchment and continued. He said that when he saw this thing for the first time, he was also very surprised, and he couldn't believe it.Later, he deliberately searched for some historical rubbings and compared them, only to find that the inscription on this stamp with the inscription "Ordered by the heavens, long life and eternal prosperity" was completely consistent with the historical rubbings.

It turned out that the printed text turned out to be "Ordered by the heavens, and longevity will last forever", and I suddenly realized it. I just read it silently in my heart, and suddenly I realized that something was wrong, and I almost cried out.Aren't these two sentences exactly the seal of "Chuan Guo Yuxi"!Regarding the "Jade Seal of Chuanguo", I have heard it more than once in movies and novels. The value of this treasure is simply incalculable, and it is a veritable priceless treasure. It is said that it was made by Qin Shihuang with the "Heshibi" of that year, and it is respected as the "Tianzi Seal".It is four inches in size and square, with dragon, fish, phoenix and bird buttons, and the inscription on the front is the eight characters "Ordered by the sky, long life and eternal prosperity" written by Prime Minister Li Si in big seal script.Thinking that these eight characters look like this when written in seal script, I looked at them carefully again, and still felt that they didn't look alike.

Regarding the Chuanguo Yuxi, since the Qin Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties have taken this seal as a token of approval and enshrined it as a rare treasure.Obtaining this Jade Seal of Chuanguo symbolizes that one is "destined by heaven", which is the destiny of heaven; while losing it means that one is "exhausted" and the general trend is gone.Therefore, the emperor who has always sat on the throne but does not have this jade seal is ridiculed as the "white emperor" and ridiculed by others. It is precisely because of this that the war has almost never stopped for the final ownership of this jade seal, and this handed down jade seal has naturally changed its owner many times, and it has been passed down for more than two thousand years. , This "Jade Seal of Chuanguo" also disappeared without a trace, and it has completely disappeared without a trace.

As Dong Sanye's ancestor Dorgon, it is not impossible to have the seal of the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, but why did he let us see it?What shall we see?I was a little puzzled, looked at Sanye Dong, and said, "Master Dong, to be honest, we have heard of this 'Chuan Guo Yuxi', and the two sentences on the paper, I am afraid we can only You can watch the excitement, but if you expect us to be ugly, I think you will be disappointed. Our two brothers don’t have that literate brain at all. What do these two sentences mean? It's opaque." Dong Sanye chuckled, telling me not to be so polite, just chatting and chatting, it doesn't matter.Speaking of this, he smiled selfishly, then picked up the cup, took a sip of water, pointed to the parchment and told us that this thing was handed over to Dorgon shortly before his death by Nurhachi, and it said It's not just us, he also can't figure out what the word means.What is the significance of this piece of paper, I am afraid that no one can guess except Nurhachi and Dorgon himself.

Speaking of this, Dong Sanye smiled helplessly, pointed to the printed text on it and said: "I don't know how much effort has been put into it. I have read these two sentences for decades, and I haven't heard anything. I can see the deep meaning of these words. But this seal leaves me a little surprised. Among other things, this jade seal has been ups and downs several times, and it itself is very legendary and intriguing." When Da Ya and I heard this, we were also quite interested, so we asked Mr. Dong to explain it in detail, and we should also learn from it. Dong Sanye chuckled and said that it was a lot of fun to listen to Quan as a story.It is said that when the Yuan army broke through Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, in the last decisive sea battle between the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Song army was defeated, and Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with the little emperor on his back and committed suicide.A man who claimed to be the great-grandson of the founding hero held a jade seal and asked to buy it in the street market. Boyan, the founding hero of the Yuan Dynasty, ordered Cui Yu, the imperial censor, to buy the jade seal. Later, he discovered that it was the legendary Chuanguo Imperial jade seal.Since then, the Jade Seal has become a national treasure of the Yuan Dynasty.

After the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Yuan Shun retreated to Mobei, and at the same time took away the Chuanguo Yuxi.Zhu Yuanzhang once sent his general Xu Da deep into Mobei to pursue the fleeing Mongolian court, hoping to get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, but the Ming army finally returned empty-handed. Therefore, in the entire Ming Dynasty, for more than two hundred years, among the sixteen emperors, none of the emperors had ever owned the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.It is said that Emperor Yuan Shun, who retired to Mobei, once took this jade seal to hunt, but lost the jade seal. In the end, even the Mongols did not know the whereabouts of the jade seal.This time, Chuan Guo Yuxi was lost again.

Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that when a shepherd on the grassland was herding sheep, he found that one of his sheep did not eat grass for three days and three nights, and kept digging the ground with his hooves.The shepherd was curious, so he dug three feet into the ground, and found the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, which had been lost for many years.Therefore, he dedicated the jade seal to Boshuo Ketuhan, a descendant of the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty.Later, this jade seal was passed down from generation to generation and came into the hands of Lin Danhan.When Huang Taiji defeated Mongolia, he defeated Lin Danhan, who died in Dacaotan, Qinghai.In this battle, the Chuanguo Yuxi was obtained by Dorgon and dedicated to Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji believed that this was the destiny, so he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor the next year, and changed the name of the country to Qing Dynasty. So far, the Jade Seal of Chuanguo belongs to Manqing. Hearing this, I suddenly had some doubts in my heart, how could Dorgon dedicate it to Huang Taiji after getting it?It is impossible for Dorgon not to know the meaning of this jade seal, how could he give it up to others so easily?If you think about it carefully, this is really suspicious.Suddenly I realized a problem, if this piece of parchment was written by Nurhachi himself, and the seal was also affixed by him himself, but from the Ming Dynasty until Huang Taiji ascended the throne, during this period of history, this jade seal passed on to the country But it has been living among the people. Where did Nurhachi get the jade seal of the country? Dong Sanye stared at my face, and after noticing the change in my expression, he clapped his hands and smiled: "My little brother is really smart!" Da Ya was confused, he didn't understand what kind of riddle Dong Sanye and I were playing. I hurriedly told Da Ya concisely that the timing of the appearance of this jade seal was a bit strange.In the era of Nurhachi, this jade seal should still be hidden deep in the ground, but where did this jade seal come from?If the one in Nurhachi's hand is true, then what about the "Jade Seal of the Nation" dug out from the ground by the shepherd in the grassland recorded in history?Of these two jade seals handed down to the country, one must be real and the other fake.
