Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 92 Seal and Sword

The catalog introduces the past and present of this jade seal.

In March of the 14th year of Daye of the former Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was killed in Jiangdu, and the Sui Dynasty perished.Empress Xiao fled to Mobei Turkic with Sui Yang Emperor Sun Yang Zhengdao and Chuan Guoxi.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty comforted himself by engraving several jade seals such as "Shouming Bao" and "Dingming Bao" because he had no jade seals handed down to his country.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing led an army to crusade against the Turks. In the same year, Empress Xiao and Sun Yang Zhengdao, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, returned to the Central Plains with their backs.

And this national seal is one of the "Designed Seals" engraved by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.

After the death of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, these "fake" "Jade Seals of Chuanguo" became one of the funeral objects in Zhaoling Mausoleum. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, they were stolen from Emperor Taizong's tomb by Wen Tao, the Jiedu envoy of Yaozhou, and thus became exiled among the people.

In the Later Zhou Dynasty, this object was dedicated to Li Min, the founding monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty who proclaimed himself emperor. Because Li Congke, the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, set himself on fire in Xuanwu Tower, the jade seal that had been handed down for thousands of years was lost. His identity as the Li Tang royal family, claiming to be orthodox in the Tang Dynasty.

During the period of Song Taizong, Song soldiers attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty, and this jade seal was presented to Song Taizong together with the Longquan Sword by Li Yujin, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

This Taizong Yuxi was also one of the few treasures that were not looted by the Jin soldiers when Jingkang was ashamed.

Li Qingwei picked up the dusty Tang Taizong Yuxi from the shelf.He tore off a piece of night clothes, wrapped it up, and hung it around his waist.This jade seal will be of great use to him in the future, and it would be a waste to store dust here.

How can treasure be covered with dust?Li Qingwei decided to "take" it away.

Afterwards, Li Qingwei came to the last shelf according to the guidance of the catalogue. He carefully looked at the words on it, and it was impressively written with the Seven Star Longyuan Sword.

"Wow! It's really the Longquan sword!" Li Qingwei couldn't restrain the joy in his heart.

This Longyuan sword, also known as Longquan sword, was worn by Li Yuan, the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty. Because the name of Li Yuan, the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, was taboo, it was renamed Longquan sword.It is rumored that this sword was forged by Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang, two master swordsmiths in the Spring and Autumn Period.

According to legend, Ou Yezi and Gan will forge this sword, chisel open Mount Ci, release the stream in the mountain, and lead it to the seven pools surrounded by the seven big dippers beside the sword casting furnace, which are called "Seven Stars".After the sword is completed, looking down at the sword body is like climbing a high mountain and looking down into the abyss, ethereal and deep as if there is a giant dragon lying on it.It is called "Longyuan".

This sword used to be the sword of Wu Zixu, and later it was acquired by Li Yuan and became Li Yuan's sword.

Later, because of Li Shimin's military achievements, Li Yuan passed this sword on to Li Shimin.Li Shimin held this sword and fought against Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass, and defeated the [-] Dou King's coalition army with three thousand cavalry.In one fell swoop, the Central Plains will be determined.

At the time of the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin used this sword to kill Prince Li Jiancheng and successfully ascended to the throne of the Tang Dynasty.

In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong Li Shimin died.This sword was also buried in Zhaoling.

If the buried jade seal represents Tang Taizong's martial arts, then this Longquan sword represents his martial arts.

This sword was also stolen by Wen Tao during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and Wen Tao dedicated the sword to Li Siyuan, then emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty.

After the fall of the Later Tang Dynasty, the whereabouts of this sword is unknown. During the Later Southern Tang Dynasty, this sword was presented to Li Jing, the second emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

After reading the records in the catalogue, Li Qingwei took a deep breath.

It's no wonder that so many treasures in this treasury were stolen by the rats of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but these two things were not lost.

That's because although these two treasures are precious, they are both relics from the previous dynasty. One is the emperor's special seal, and the other is the Emperor's Sword of the Tang Dynasty.

Whoever takes it is tantamount to rebellion.

However, Li Qingwei did not have any obstacles in this regard. He did not expect that this time he not only got the Ziyun Dragon King Ginseng, but also got these two treasures representing the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty.

It's not just a worthwhile trip, it's a worthwhile trip.

After packing up the last "stolen item", Li Qingwei hurriedly prepared to leave the palace.

Before leaving, Li Qingwei put the key, the catalog of the warehouse, and the lantern back on the body of the dead deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In this way, the only person to be held accountable is the deputy chief who entered the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at night. Who asked him to hold the key to open the door for the thieves?

Li Qingwei also gave the officials who punished these officials an excuse to close the case. In this case, he was sentenced to colluding with outsiders to guard himself and steal, and then he was silenced for uneven distribution of spoils.

He carried the sword case of the Longquan sword behind his back, Taizong Yuxi was tied around his waist, and Ziyun Dragon King Ginseng was clamped on his arm.Exercising the Golden Goose Kung Fu and galloping on the roof of the palace.

When he came to the periphery of the imperial city, Li Qingwei hid himself. He was waiting for the opportunity, the moment before dawn, when the sky was darkest.

That was his only chance to escape the palace.

If this opportunity is lost, then he can only let the guards try to see if his Longquan sword is sharp.

But these Imperial Forest Army were lucky. When the night was at its darkest, Li Qingwei used the Golden Goose Kungfu to step out of the sky and successfully flew out of the imperial city.

Has he been found?Of course it was discovered.

It's just that the team of forbidden soldiers responsible for guarding the imperial city didn't make any noise. Although these people's martial arts skills are not very high, they are definitely not stupid.

It can be seen from the lightness kung fu of stepping through the air that the one who broke into the palace at night is a master. will lose their lives.

And the most crucial point, if they send out the signal at this time, then Li Qingwei will be hunted down by the imperial guards who rushed over.

But at that time Li Qingwei had already flown out of the range of the palace, even if they wanted to chase, it was too late.

Besides, Li Qingwei slipped away from where they were guarding. It must be a great achievement to catch Li Qingwei, but what if he can't catch him?
Then it proved that there was an omission in their defense, and then only their team was punished.

It's too difficult to catch, and you may lose your life, and you will escape from your own defense zone, which means that there is an omission on your side, and you will also be punished.

Instead of doing this, it's better to just pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretend that nothing happened, and not report it.In this way, even if something was lost in the palace and someone died, it has nothing to do with them.

No one can prove that the assassins entered from their defense zone, and no one can prove that the assassins slipped through their defense zone.

In this way, even if the responsibility is pursued, all the Imperial Guards will share the responsibility equally, and it is also the commanders who deal with the Imperial Guards, and it has nothing to do with them patrolling officers.

Of course they won't be so serious.Anyway, it was not me who was punished and lost my job, but the people above were also responsible.

When investigating later, as long as they refuse to admit it, no one can prove that the assassin escaped from them.Because they are all grasshoppers on the same rope, this team of imperial guards must be tight-lipped.

In the end, there is no proof of death, and they cannot be held accountable.
