Main Characters: Yu Yuanzheng, Shangguan Ziqi
Yu Yuanzheng transmigrated into the original host on her wedding night. Upon arriving, she was immediately forced to listen to her cousin and hus...
“This jade seal is indeed extraordinary. It is not only a treasure that symbolizes imperial power, but also carries thousands of years of history and heritage.
According to historical records, this jade seal can be traced back to the Tianqi period a thousand years ago. "The prince also came over and looked at the jade seal on the table.
It is indeed much more majestic than the imperial seal currently used by the Wei Dynasty.
The jade seal of the Wei Dynasty was probably carved by a craftsman whose skills were not as good as the one of the previous dynasty, or it was probably made in too much haste.
At that time, the establishment of the Great Wei was somewhat hasty. The world was divided into three parts, and wars for territory were constant every day.
After hearing what the prince said, the emperor nodded in agreement.
The Tianqi Dynasty was the first truly unified dynasty on this land. Although it was destroyed long ago, its influence was far-reaching and it is still praised by later generations.
"After Emperor Tianqi unified the country, he ordered skilled craftsmen to carve this jade seal using a rare piece of fine jade.
Legend has it that the person who discovered this jade saw a pool of jade essence underneath the jade, which shows how precious it is.
After Tianqi conquered the Tang Dynasty, the seal was obtained by the later Daliang. The founding emperor of Daliang believed that this was God's will, so he continued to use the seal to show his legitimacy in inheriting Tianqi's orthodoxy.
The emperor also added later history.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the patterns on the jade seal, feeling the thousand years of history flowing through his fingertips.
"Later, Daliang did not last long before chaos broke out and it was destroyed by the previous dynasty Dugu, who established the Great Jin.
The founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty also believed that this was the will of heaven and continued to use the jade seal.
It was not until the end of the Jin Dynasty that the world was in chaos and the imperial seal was smashed by the last emperor. Only then did they know that it was missing and the broken one was a fake. Unexpectedly, it was in the hands of the ancestor of the princess of the Rong Palace.
This jade seal has been passed down through three dynasties and has survived thousands of years of wind and rain, but it is still intact. It is truly God’s will! It has witnessed the rise and fall of three dynasties and carried the dreams and glory of countless emperors.”
The emperor continued to talk about history.
This is told to Yu Yuanzheng, who doesn't know history.
"Then the emperor wants to use this jade seal?" the prince asked. He saw the emperor staring at the jade seal for a long time without blinking, and he could tell at a glance that he couldn't let it go.
"This jade seal is indeed good, but it is from the previous dynasty after all. Our Great Wei has its own destiny and does not need the help of relics from the previous dynasty to prove anything. Let this jade seal continue to serve as a witness to history and preserve it carefully." The emperor pondered for a moment and said slowly.
After hearing this, the prince raised his eyes. Not tempted?
"Your Majesty is wise. In this case, after this jade seal has completed its final mission, it should be kept in the palace. It will serve as a witness to history, for the royal family's descendants to admire and remember."
The emperor nodded, his eyes fell on the jade seal again, and he put it back into the small box.
Only then did he look at the cold jade box.
Shangguan Ziqi took it out and opened it for the emperor to see.
Unfortunately, there was nothing to see, just a thin piece of parchment.
The prince then took out the drawing of the father and son on the tracing paper from his arms.
The emperor then remembered that it was written on the gold leaf that the parchment had to be placed in hot water to be visible.
When the drawing was unfolded, several people gathered around to look at it.
But I couldn't tell where it was.
At that time, the Three Kingdoms were established. In order to rule their own countries, each country changed the names of many cities and mountains in order to eliminate the memories of the previous dynasties.
Over the past decade or so, the changes have been even greater.
As a result, they couldn't tell exactly where the treasure was.
The prince and his son had seen it a long time ago, but they didn't realize it.
Yu Yuanzheng couldn’t see it even more.
As a result, several people looked at each other.
“Your Majesty, can’t you see where it is?” Yu Yuanzheng thought that the emperor was knowledgeable and talented and could see it.
Both my father and son are military generals, so they must be very different in terms of knowledge.
The emperor did not answer Yu Yuanzhen's question, but took out a folded map of the Wei Dynasty from the Duobao Pavilion and unfolded it.
Everyone gathered around the map and compared it with the treasure map that Shangguan Ziqi had copied down.
But after comparing for a long time, there was still no clue.
"Your Majesty, this treasure doesn't look like it's from the Great Wei." Yu Yuanzheng carefully compared every corner and found no similarities, so he came to this conclusion.
Several people looked up at her.
"What about you?" The emperor glanced at the prince and Shangguan Ziqi.
"I didn't see that either." The father and son answered at the same time.
The father and son looked at the map of Wei yesterday.
"Your Majesty, do you have a map of the previous dynasty?" Yu Yuanzheng asked.
"No, our Great Wei is located in the southeast, in the border of Canglan, the capital of the previous dynasty.
Generally, few families had maps, mainly the families of high-ranking officials and generals in the imperial palace and the capital.
It is impossible for ordinary people to have maps." The emperor explained.
The implication is that the Wei Dynasty failed to preserve a complete map of the previous dynasty.
"Then, are there any current maps of Nanshu and Canglan?" Yu Zheng asked again.
"Yes, we have this." The emperor then brought maps of two other countries.
It's too big to fit on the table.
Shangguan Ziqi spread all three tiles on the ground and arranged them according to the geographical locations of the Three Kingdoms.
The maps of this period were only approximate and inaccurate.
Compared with the latter, it is far inferior.
Moreover, it is a flat map, without depicting the high and low terrain with different colors.
Yu Yuanzheng was overwhelmed by this.
Although the place names were clearly marked, she was not familiar with them.
Shangguan Ziqi looked at it intently, and put his copy in different locations for comparison.
He actually discovered some clues.
"Your Majesty, the source of the dragon vein, the secret of heaven and earth, does this sentence indicate that the treasure is hidden in the place where the dragon vein is.
The dragon vein is exactly the place that the royal family likes most to build imperial tombs.
The imperial tomb of the previous dynasty is right here." Shangguan Ziqi pressed his index finger on a place near the Great Wei on the map of Canglan Kingdom.
Several people stared at the place where he pointed.
Comparing it with the treasure map in his hand, the locations of some mountains are really similar.
"Hey, isn't this the Fengrong City that Canglan assigned to me as a fiefdom?" Yu Yuanzheng said happily.
She saw the marked place name. In that year, this city was incorporated into the territory of Wei, but she didn't even have time to take a look.
It's just that the emperor sent a prefect and several county magistrates to take charge of the affairs, and up to now she has not received any tribute from her fiefdom.
"That's right. This is the location of the former dynasty's secondary capital. It's only about two miles away from the former dynasty's capital. It's also where the former dynasty's imperial tombs were located." Shangguan Ziqi explained.
"Oh, it turns out that Canglan has selected a Feng Shui treasure land for me. That's really great." Yu Yuanzheng smiled happily after hearing this.
"Haha, my Great Wei's lucky star, luck is like that." The emperor also laughed and said, "But Feng Shui is changing, the so-called Feng Shui turns around is the same principle.
At that time, the luck of the previous dynasty had been exhausted by the previous dynasty, so this place was no longer a Feng Shui treasure land, but now that so many years have passed, perhaps it has come back again."
"Your Majesty is right." Yu Yuanzheng liked to hear this.
After comparing them carefully for a while, they all felt that it was very likely to be Fengrong City.
But to know the exact location, you have to go to Fengrong City to see it for sure.
"Your Majesty, how do you plan to arrange this matter?" asked the prince.
