The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Sun Ce cried bitterly and punched the bed. Seeing Sun Ce like this, the house slave standing by also burst into tears.

The society is too sinister, we don’t want people to play tricks on people like this!

At this time, a gust of wind blew over and knocked down the lampstand that was placed aside. Sun Ce turned around in horror and saw that his generals Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi, and Sun He were already standing behind him.

Seeing that Sun Ce was so decadent, Huang Gai said: "Your Majesty, you have used me many times in your life. If you have something undecided, why don't you ask us? I am feeling sad here alone."

Zhu Zhi also said: "If you want to achieve great things, why don't you borrow troops from Yuan Shu and go to Jiangdong? It's called rescuing my uncle, but it's actually to achieve great things."

"Borrowing troops? Then Yuan Shu is very suspicious, how can he be willing to borrow troops?"

Sun He was puzzled. Yuan Shu was such a scoundrel. Isn't asking him to borrow troops like a meat bun to beat a dog and never come back? The last time I borrowed troops, I borrowed them, but the Sun family lost all their wealth. If I borrow troops again this time, the Sun family will probably lose it all!

The situation was so grim and difficult to advance and retreat. Huang Gai sighed: "Huh? Is it just... that I have been trapped under people for so long?"

Sun Ce stood up and sat on the bed, thinking. I have to admit that Sun has one advantage, that is, no matter what he does, he will never regret it!

"I have the imperial seal left by my late father. Yuan Shu has wanted to get this treasure for a long time. What if I use this as a pledge to borrow troops from him?"

Huang Gai and Sun He hurriedly stopped him and said, "No!"

The First Master paid for this with his life, how could he just give it to him? That's a jade seal!

"Yuan Shu wanted to get this jade seal. However, my respected father, General Sun Jian, developed grudges with the princes because of the jade seal, and was killed by Liu Biao's soldiers in random arrows."

"How can I hand over the jade seal that was exchanged for the old general's life to Yuan Shu?"

Sun Ce listened to their words, thought for a moment, and said firmly: "The two generals are right. The jade seal is indeed a national treasure. But if you don't have soldiers, you will lose it sooner or later. Hey! I want to use this to take away my treasure." The jade seal of my father’s destiny is exchanged for the country that my late father dreamed of.”

The jade seal is a dead object, and it is also a very dangerous dead object. If Yuan Shu learns that he has hidden the jade seal, it will definitely arouse his suspicion and even lead to death. It is worse than a piece of scrap metal. It is better to just give it to him and get some. army.

Sun Ce was very ambitious and wanted to give it a try. He was betting that Yuan Shu had the ambition to become emperor.

Although Sun Ce failed all the time, Huang Gai was still willing to believe in him again: "If Bo Fu has the courage to do great things, he will succeed."

Seeing that everyone agreed with his idea, Sun Ce stood up and said, "Bring me some wine!"

"Yes!"

The servant poured a bowl of wine and handed the wine to Sun Ce. Sun Ce took the wine bowl and wiped his finger on the sword stuck on the bed, and blood flowed down. He dripped blood into the wine bowl...

The next day, Sun Ce cried bitterly and came to Yuan Shu's house and knelt down to worship Yuan Shu.

"Ming Gong! Wuwuwu..."

Yuan Shu was shocked, and he was also confused. This kid has dropped a golden bean! First time seeing you!

"Oh! Bo Fu has something to say, and I will make the decision for you."

Sun Ce cried and complained: "Alas! Ce often thinks that his father's revenge has not been avenged, but now his mother, brothers and sisters are all in Qu'a, in danger. Therefore, I... wu wu wu..."

"Avenge your father and save your mother from danger. This is the way of a benevolent son."

"I dare to borrow thousands of troops from Ming Gong to cross the river to rescue the enemy."

Yuan Shu knew the purpose of this boy's visit, he wanted to escape!

Yuan Shu prevaricated and said: "Huh? Oh! Haha! Don't rush this matter! When I free up my troops, I will naturally make the decision for you. However, this borrowing of troops...hey..."

Although the Sun family's wealth was gone, Yuan Shu had to admit that the Sun family was indeed a good fighter. If he wanted to run away, he would definitely not be able to keep him, but he couldn't even think of taking away a single soldier.

Sun Ce naturally knew that Yuan Shu would not let him go so easily, so he stood up and gave his bargaining chip: "Ming Gong! Now I have the imperial seal left by my late father..."

Yuan Shu was shocked. He didn't expect Sun Ce to have this thing in his hands! The jade seal of the country!

The emperor died, and the world was left without a master for many years, with the heroes fighting among themselves.

If the Imperial Seal is in my hands, relying on the reputation of the Yuan family in Runan, I can just raise my arms and call him Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or even Liu Han...

"Hey?"

Excited heart, trembling hands, Yuan Shu's eyes were full of greed.

Sun Ce saw the naked look in Yuan Shu's eyes and knew that he had fallen into the trap, "Big things can happen!"

"If Ming Gong is willing to lend me troops, I am willing to keep this as a pledge."

"Really?"

Yuan Shu almost blurted out, but he held it back, forced himself to calm down, and asked: "Bo Fu! Is this a joke?"

Sun Ce was not shy, took out the jade seal wrapped in yellow silk from his arms, held it in his hand and opened it. When Yuan Shu saw it, he greedily went to get it, but Sun Ce quickly took a step back.

The emperor's seal is called "Xi", and it is also called "Jade Seal" if it is made of jade.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the regulations on seals were slightly relaxed. The seals of queens and kings were also called seals, but basically they still followed the old system without changing it. The Emperor's Seal has six directions, namely "Emperor's Seal", "Emperor's Travel Seal", "Emperor's Letter Seal", "Emperor's Seal", "Emperor's Travel Seal" and "Emperor's Letter Seal".

Among the emperor's seals, there is one jade seal that is not among the six directions. This is the "Jade Seal of the Kingdom". It was a seal passed down from generation to generation by emperors after Qin Dynasty, and was engraved on the order of Qin Shihuang. It is four inches in diameter and has five dragons on it. The front is engraved with eight seal characters written by Li Si, "Ordered by heaven, you will live forever" as a token of "imperial power is divinely authorized, orthodox and legal".

Afterwards, emperors of all dynasties regarded the seal as a symbol of talisman and regarded it as a rare treasure and an important weapon of the country. Gaining it symbolizes his "order from heaven", while losing it indicates his "exhaustion of energy".

During the war at the end of Qin Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu led his troops into Xianyang first. The king of Qin, Ziying, dedicated the "Emperor's Seal" to Emperor Gaozu. When Emperor Gaozu established the Han Dynasty and ascended the throne, he wore this jade seal passed down to the country, known as the "Jade Seal passed down from the Han Dynasty". Since then, the jade seal has been kept in Changle Palace and became a symbol of imperial power.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, when Wang Mang took over the throne, Emperor Liu Ying was only two years old, and the imperial seal was in charge of the Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan. Wang Mang ordered Wang Shun, the Marquis of Anyang, to force the Queen Mother to hand over the jade seal, but the Queen Mother angrily rebuked him. When the Queen Mother threw the jade seal to the ground in anger, a corner of the jade seal was thrown off. Later, it was repaired with gold, leaving a flaw from then on.

After Wang Mang's defeat, the jade seal changed hands several times, and finally fell into the hands of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu, and was passed on to the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shi Changshi made a rebellion, and the young emperor fled in panic. He had no time to take away the jade seal. When he returned to the palace, he found that the jade seal was missing.

Unexpectedly, the imperial seal was stolen by Sun Jian, and now it has returned to Yuan Shu!

This is the will of God!

"I, Yuan Shu, have the spirit of an emperor!"

"Ming Gong!"

Yuan Shu was currently wandering in the dream of ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, but it was Sun Ce who dragged him back to reality.

"Oh! Ah! Haha...Hey! Okay! I'll lend you three thousand troops and five hundred horses."

Yuan Shu just wants to send Sun Ce away now. If the soldiers and horses are gone, they will be replaced. There is only one imperial seal. If it is gone, it will be gone!

Sun Ce did not express his position, but looked at Yuan Shu with his eyes, and Yuan Shu understood.

"Haha... Hey! Your position is humble and it is difficult for you to hold great power. Okay! I will declare you Captain Zhe Chong and General Xie Kou. Huh?"

Sun Ce still didn't respond after hearing this.

Yuan Shu was heartbroken. He knew that Sun Ce knew very well that he had no intention of taking back the jade seal he had given away today, so he made a deal: "Okay! We will send troops to Jiangdong tomorrow, how about it?"

Sun Ce finally spoke: "Thank you very much, Duke Ming!"

After saying this, Sun Ce knelt down and presented the jade seal to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu happily took the jade seal and looked at it carefully. (End of chapter)
