Chapter 158 Section 7 Qin Wang Yingzheng No. 1 Order

Nowadays, Chuan Guo Yuxi has become a household name, but when she first appeared in Yongcheng and displayed in front of the world, it was full of mystery and strangeness.Those who watched the ceremony, even though they were well-informed, couldn't help wondering, where did this jade seal come from?At that time, besides Ying Zheng, Li Si was the only one who knew the details of Yuxi. On that day, Ying Zheng found Li Si, showed him a piece of jade, and asked triumphantly, "Do you know what this is?" Li Si looked at it for a while, and then said: "If what I expected is not bad, this is He's Bi." He's Bi is a rare treasure known to the world, and two famous stories that happened to He's Bi - Presenting Pu and Returning Complete Bi to Zhao added a mythical and legendary color to He's Bi.Before that, Li Si only heard about He's Bi by name, but not in person.Unexpectedly, such a treasure, not only seeing it with his own eyes, but also stroking it with his own hands, felt her coldness and luxury, and Li Si felt a burst of excitement in his heart.

Ying Zheng said casually: "I want to destroy it, what do you think, Your Honor?" Li Si was shocked.Back then, King Qin Zhao, the old master of Yingzheng, was willing to exchange fifteen cities for Heshibi.Now that Ying Zheng said it was ruined, it was ruined?Could it be that Ying Zheng is a lover of tragedy, who likes to destroy beautiful things for others to see?You know, the value of He's Bi lies in its perfection.The slightest blemish will greatly reduce its value.If she is really destroyed, it is like smashing the precious porcelain produced in the official kiln, leaving only a pile of worthless rubbish.Li Sidao: "Heshibi is the most precious treasure in the world. Once it is destroyed, it cannot be recovered. My king, please think twice."

Yingzheng laughed and said: "He's Bi is called the most precious treasure. It can only be used for entertainment. It is of no great use. The widow destroys it and uses his jade as a jade seal. If there is a name, it will be fulfilled and orders will be carried out. Wouldn't it be nice! Jade has a spirit, and it should be returned to thank the widow.” "My Great Qin has its own royal seal, the treasure of the country, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Why make a new seal?" "Conquer the six kingdoms and unify the world. This is what Ke Qing taught, and it is the ambition of the few. The king's seal is no longer useful, and the emperor's seal should be used. The seal text needs to be written by Ke Qing."

Li Si's calligraphy is the best in the world, and he is naturally the one who writes seal characters.If Li Si refuses to do it, there will be no second person in the world who would dare to take over the job.Naturally, Li Si would not refuse, and he also knew that this matter must be done by him.What's more, if you want to leave your name on the posterity, what place is more prominent and longer than the emperor's jade seal? Therefore, a jade seal production team was secretly established, and the most outstanding jade craftsmen in Qin State were called together, with Li Si as the team leader himself.The French sculptor Rodin said: The secret of sculpture is to remove the superfluous things in the stone.However, He's Bi is a finished product that has been meticulously considered, and it can be described as perfect without any excess.But the king's order is hard to disobey, so he can only be cruel, and he will not break or stand.For those jade craftsmen, carving jade seals is undoubtedly the biggest challenge in their life.Dare to use a knife on He Shibi's body, even more so than breaking ground on Tai Sui's head. It requires not only technology, courage, but also a kind of sacred awe.

Yingzheng and Li Si repeatedly discussed the Xiwen, and finally determined it to be the eight characters of "Ordered by Heaven, Longevity and Eternal Prosperity".And it took Li Si more than a month to write these eight short characters before it was completed. After more than a year, Yuxi was finally completed.But seeing the quality of jade, the exquisite workmanship, the excellence of the seal, and the three beauties, Yingzheng was very happy. Yuxi, which embodies Li Si's painstaking efforts, is sitting on the case silently and majestically at this moment, looking down at everyone.Kui Zhuang respectfully asked: "Since my king has received the great treasure, I am waiting for my king's imperial edict."

As a symbol, after receiving the jade seal, it will be activated on the spot, and a certain edict will be promulgated, that is, the first decree after the new king takes office, marking that the power of the country has been transferred.The content of this kind of edict is generally based on celebrations and rewards, such as amnesty for the world, promotion of officials and ranks, etc., to show the benevolence and virtue of the new king.And this kind of edict is usually drawn up in advance, and it only needs the new king to go through the motions and stamp the seal. The edict waiting for Yingzheng to seal the seal has also been written and placed next to the jade seal.The content is nothing more than the same joy with the people's surnames, amnesty, rewarding ministers and ministers with gold and silk, and the world's big drink for a few days, etc.

Ying Zheng broke the previous practice.He glanced at the edict and said coldly: "Re-draft the edict." Who dares to protest?Who dares to say no?So Yingzheng dictated, and Shangshu ordered the transcript.Yingzheng said: "Lao Ai failed in rebellion, and fled in fear of crime. That is to say, in the middle of the country: whoever is born with Lai Ai will be given a million dollars; whoever kills Ai Ai will be given 500,000 yuan. Those who fight Lai Ai in Xianyang, no matter what, all worship The first rank of nobleman. This order." Ying Zheng spoke eloquently, but it had the power to shock people's hearts.What is king and what is king's prestige? Yingzheng let the ministers appreciate it on his first day in power.His calmness in the face of Lai Ai's rebellion, his calmness in predicting that "when the ceremony is complete, Lai Ai will surely be defeated", and his decisiveness in rejecting established rules and dictating edicts all made all the officials fearful and amazed.

After the edict was completed, Yingzheng sealed it with a jade seal, and it spread throughout the country.And this edict is what later generations call Qin Wang Yingzheng No. 1 Order. Yingzheng established his prestige in the first battle, and the crowd was overwhelmed, and they all knelt down on the ground, shouting long live.
