Qiang Qin

"Why is the emperor so happy since he came back from the tomb of the former emperor?" Xiaotao asked, looking at Fusu's smiling face in puzzlement.This time at the mausoleum, because Xiaotao did not have a public identity until now, Fusu did not take her there.Now seeing Fusu sitting there touching a black brocade box after returning to the palace, Xiaotao's nature of gossip as a woman is revealed.

Hearing the sound, Fusu pulled out his eyes from the brocade box, walked to Xiaotao and his son, touched his son's tender face with his hand, and said with a smile: "My son is really my lucky star, since he came Afterwards, my luck is always so good. Today's sacrifice to the mausoleum actually allowed me to get this rare treasure."

Xiaotao looked at the brocade box for a long time but couldn't see why it was so rare, so she asked, "What is this thing, Your Majesty? How could you call him a rare treasure?"

Fusu walked over and took the brocade box over, unconsciously thinking of the surprised expression on his face when he knew what it was.It was a seal about a square foot long, and the whole body was carved from jade. Because it was placed in a brocade box, Fusu could only see the back of it at the time. Dragons, they extend from the four corners of the seal, the heads of the four dragons meet in the middle, and the four dragons all open their mouths, and above their mouths is a round bead carved.The carvings of the four dragons fighting for the pearl are so realistic that even the scales on the four dragons are clearly visible under the illumination of the night pearl.

But this is not the reason that surprised Fusu, because firstly, Fusu never thinks that these treasures are valuable, and secondly, he has no ability to appreciate antiques at all. Although he can see that this thing is indeed extraordinary, but I don't know what's so good about it.But when Fusu lifted the square seal out of the brocade box and looked at the side with the engraved characters on it, he was completely stunned.It's just because there are eight seal characters engraved on it - "Ordered by the sky, you will live forever". "Couldn't this be the oldest and most widely circulated treasure in our country, Heshibi?" Fusu's heart began to beat fast, just because this thing is so famous, and the people who died because of it in history There are really too many of them, and I never imagined that I would get them so easily.

But then Fusu hesitated again. According to his limited knowledge, he remembered that the missing corner of He's Bi was inlaid with gold, so the word "gold inlaid jade" appeared.But when he thought about it, Fusu laughed at himself. He was obviously stunned by the scene of discovering He Shibi, and actually forgot the age.The Heshibi was damaged because Wang Mang usurped the Han, and the Queen Mother threw it at him, and the corner was missing. But now it is still the world of the Great Qin Dynasty, and there are still hundreds of years before the end of the Western Han Dynasty. This Heshibi is naturally complete.And judging from the current situation, history has undergone major distortions, and there may not even be a Han Dynasty, let alone Wang Mang usurping the Han Dynasty. "It seems that this Heshibi might be able to preserve its perfection and be handed down to future generations." Fusu thought, and please put it back into the brocade box.Different from the action when he brought it out just now, when he put it back, Fusu's hand was much gentler, for fear that he might break this real national treasure with force.Then Fusu didn't delay in the mausoleum, and immediately took people back to the palace, which puzzled many ministers.

Now Fusu placed the brocade box on the dragon couch covered with brocade quilts, opened it in front of Xiaotao, and took out the Fang He's Bi.Seeing Fusu's seriousness, Xiaotao felt a little nervous in her heart, but when she saw that it was only a seal, she let out a disappointed sigh.Fusu gave her a puzzled look, turned He's Bi and showed her: "This is He's Bi, the Seal of Chuanguo, why do you seem so disappointed?"

"What is He's Bi? I've never heard of it." Xiao Tao was still at a loss.

Only then did Fusu realize that there are not many books to read in this era, and people's knowledge is naturally very limited, especially those who have become other people's maids like Xiaotao since they were young, and they can't even read a word. Their only request is Live well, so it's normal not to know He's Bi.There are only a few people in the world who can recognize He's Bilai, and they are all prominent people.So Fusu decided to tell Xiao Tao about the origin of He's Bi and its preciousness.

Fusu held the jade seal in his hand and kept playing with it, and said: "200 years ago, a jade craftsman from the state of Chu found a stone on the mountain that he thought was a peerless jade, and dedicated it to his own jade seal. Your Majesty, but because the jade was still a rough stone, and the jade craftsman in the palace of Chu State didn't know what it was, he threw it back to the man, and the king of Chu chopped off one of his legs because he blamed him for cheating himself. Come down." When she said this, Xiaotao let out an ah, and hurriedly covered the ears of her son who was staring at Fusu on the couch with her hands.Fusu smiled, and continued: "Although the jade craftsman had his leg cut off, his heart is still alive. After the death of the Chu king, the new king ascended the throne, and he went to meet the new Chu king with the jade. The king of Chu also ordered people to examine the jade carefully, but the result was still the same as last time, and everyone said it was just an ordinary stone. So the jade craftsman's second leg was also chopped off."

"This man is too pitiful, but the King of Chu is too cruel. He just has good intentions. Even if the jade is fake, he doesn't need to chop off his legs." Xiao Tao said sympathetically.

Fusu said: "Perhaps this is the majesty of the king. But the jade craftsman insisted on dedicating it to the king of Chu in order not to be buried. He waited and waited, and finally the new king of Chu also died. , but when he wanted to hold the jade to meet the third king of Chu, he could not enter the palace again because his legs were broken. So he hugged the jade and cried bitterly on the mountain, but unexpectedly, someone asked him, the jade craftsman So he told the man everything. The man was moved by what happened to the jade craftsman, so he agreed to take the jade into the palace for him. But the third King of Chu was more sensible, so he ordered someone to cut the stone open. It turned out that there was a piece of rare jade among them, so the king of Chu ordered a master craftsman to carve it into a seal. And because the jade craftsman who discovered this jade was named Bian He, in memory of him, the king of Chu took care of this jade seal. It’s called He’s Bi. And this is the He’s Bi that can only be found with one person’s two legs.”

Xiaotao suddenly said: "So it came like this, no wonder the emperor said it is very precious." She also reached out to touch the jade seal.Then she asked again: "Since this jade seal belongs to the state of Chu, why did it come to Daqin again?"

"This is another story." Fusu continued to tell the story, "After more than 100 years of war, this Heshibi fell into the hands of the Zhao people. As time went by, monarchs all over the Central Plains also began to know Knowing that there was such a treasure, they all started to think about Heshibi. Among them, some sent troops to seize it, and some exchanged it with the city. At that time, the national power of Zhao State was at its peak, and it was not the one who could defeat it in one fell swoop in terms of force. There are not many, and there are other countries watching, so in the end everyone used the method of exchanging cities for Heshibi. And my ancestors of Daqin even offered a big price, exchanging fifteen cities for a jade seal. This is finally It made Zhao Wang tempted, and at that time, my Da Qin was already the leader of the princes in the world, so the Zhao Wang had to condemn a man named Lin Xiangru to bring the jade seal to Xianyang. Unexpectedly, Qin Wang only wanted to reconcile his clan, and sincerely sent ten jade seals to Xianyang. The five cities were given to the State of Zhao. So Lin Xiangru threatened the King of Qin with the jade in his hand, saying that if he dared to take it by force, he would smash the jade into pieces. The King of Qin could not bear to see the treasure destroyed and did not want to give the city to the Zhao people, so in the end he had to Let Lin Xiangru and Yu go back. This is the story of returning to Zhao."

Xiaotao listened with gusto at first, but then looked at Fusu with some puzzlement, because the King Qin he mentioned was his ancestor, but he didn't take it seriously at all.In fact, Fusu only regards the King of Qin here as a character in the story and history, and never has any connection with him.Xiaotao didn't point it out, but asked strangely: "Since the emperor's seal is still in Zhao, why did the ancestors come here?"

Fu Su smiled and said: "Did you forget that the first emperor destroyed the six kingdoms in Shandong, and this Zhao was among them. How could the people of Zhao, who couldn't even keep their land, be able to keep this jade seal?" Xiaotao finally understood nodded.But Fusu's words were not finished yet: "After the first emperor got this object, he decided to use it as a treasure handed down from the Qin Dynasty, so he ordered Li Si to carve the eight characters on it. It will also become my Great Qin's Imperial Seal."

"The emperor has already obtained it, which means that the emperor is indeed the real successor appointed by the first emperor. Otherwise, why didn't Hu Hai and Ziying get it?" Xiao Tao also said happily.

Fusu chuckled, put the jade seal back into the brocade box, and said, "Maybe this is me who was protected by the spirit of the first emperor in heaven." Xiaotao only thought that he was referring to the fact that he got the jade seal, but Fusu was referring to himself because Only after reading Qin Shihuang's diary did he think of going to the Qinhuangling Mausoleum to worship him, which made him get this Heshibi.

After He Shibi got his hands, Fusu felt that he was blessed by the heavens and could end this troubled world, so he stepped up the training of soldiers and was ready to start the battle with the Chu people at any time.

Unexpectedly, the war with Xiang Yu did not start, but news came from the north that the Huns appeared on the border again and harassed some small towns.This made Fusu very annoyed, and immediately ordered Meng Yi, who was in Beidi County, to lead troops to pacify them, and asked him to deal a heavy blow to these Huns, to let them know how powerful Daqin is now.
