Chapter 42 Imperial Seal



"This dress is also a creation, and it doesn't conform to any historical facts. There are many people in Wangchuan who don't dress properly, and some have different hair colors. In short, don't be surprised if you see anything different from you. This is just something we made for fun, and the purpose is to make us relax. Don't take it seriously."

[Liu Bang: (angry and embarrassed) You are a defeated general. If the real jade seal was placed in front of you, you would probably just throw it away as if it were a stone.

Xiang Yu: You... (raises fist)

Liu Bang rushed behind Cao Pi, and Qilin Envoy came to stop them. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu complained to the Envoy, and the Envoy tried to mediate. The two said that there was a reason for the quarrel, and the Envoy asked the reason.

Cao Pi: Where did you get this imperial seal?

Qilin: Of course it was reproduced by the owner from the Qin Dynasty.

Cao Pi: Liu Bang and I suspect that this imperial seal is a fake.

Shijun Qilin was surprised. This thing was a replica from Ying Zheng, so it shouldn't be fake. But Xiang Yu insisted that the one in Liu Bang's hand was fake.

Liu Bang: The imperial seal of the Han Dynasty was received by me personally from King Ziying of Qin. How could it be fake?

The envoy asked them the reason, and Liu Bang and others continued to explain.

Cao Pi: (Shaking his head) My suspicions don't stem from these stains. Our Wei imperial seal, controlled by the Han dynasty, matches Liu Bang's description in shape and color; it's undoubtedly the same piece. Your seal, while identical in appearance, is richer in color, less translucent, and its surface is harder.

The envoy still didn't believe it.

Xiang Yu: It seems the imperial seal Liu Bang obtained was a fake. (Thinking) Perhaps Ziying never wanted to give you the imperial seal, or perhaps that scoundrel Zhao Gao had already stolen it and replaced it with something else.

Liu Bang: (anxious) Could it be that the jade seal, which has been snatched away by later generations and passed down for thousands of years, is a fake?

Qin Jia: Stop arguing. Ying Zheng is in Wangchuan. Let's go ask him and we'll understand, right?

Cao Pi: Good. Whether the jade seal is real or fake, it will definitely not escape Ying Zheng's eyes.

Chinese

Liu Bang looked at the image on the screen, then at his own image. "What do you think of this image compared to Nai Gong?"

The ministers looked at each other in silence, but they all thought the same thing.

Exactly the same!

Especially that gangster-like aura!

Qin

Ying Zheng also felt that this image was very suitable for Liu Bang himself.

But when they saw what happened later, all the emperors were shocked, and they all looked at their imperial seals.

No way, no way, could it be that their imperial seal is really fake?

So what are they doing?

joke?

"Impossible, impossible! Ziying gave it to me personally, it can't be fake!"

Liu Bang didn't believe it. At that time, there was no need for Ziying to deceive him.

Zhou Jia could imagine how panicked the emperors were just by listening. He put down his phone and said with a smile, "Are you feeling panicked, emperors?"

Emperors: We are indeed panicking. If this thing is true or false, wouldn’t they be ridiculous?

Fighting over a fake thing and getting bloody.

Qin Shi Huangdi: [You want the throne, the imperial seal, and the title, yet you're still fighting over a tiny imperial seal?]

When Ying Zheng made this comment, many emperors fell silent.

Ying Zheng himself was also silent. It was understandable that they wanted the throne, but he couldn't understand why they were fighting endlessly over a small imperial seal. This thing was useless except for stamping and issuing edicts, so what was the point of fighting for it?

Just for that orthodoxy?

The more he looked at the jade seal in his hand, the more confused he became.

Zhou Jia smiled, "Yes, Your Majesty. They have been fighting over the Imperial Seal. To them, whoever possesses the Imperial Seal is the legitimate emperor."

Many emperors lowered their heads guiltily.

[Qin Jia: His Majesty the First Emperor.]

Ying Zheng: (sweeping everyone with a cold gaze) My Lord, why are you looking for me, and why are you mobilizing such a large force?

Qilin: (Nervously) Your Majesty, we are here to ask you a question.

Ying Zheng: Say.

The envoy took out the jade seal and asked Ying Zheng to look at it.

Ying Zheng: (Looking at the jade seal) "Mandate from Heaven, long life and everlasting prosperity." These eight characters were written by Prime Minister Li Si himself. I ordered them to be engraved on the Heshi Bi, creating this jade seal. Your Excellency, do you have any questions?

Ying Zheng is quite accepting of the current Ying Zheng. He really doesn't like being disturbed.

Zhou Jia paused again. "Emperors use and see the eight characters 'Mandate from Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper' every day. Do you understand what this means?"

King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa: [The Son of Heaven receives his mandate from Heaven and exercises power to protect the prosperity and stability of the country.]

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: [Not bad.]

"Wow." Zhou Jia couldn't help but sigh. "What a rare guest! People in the Ming Dynasty and later may have heard of the story of Investiture of the Gods. King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, is one of the protagonists in the book. In the eyes of many, he represents justice and peacefully overthrew the tyrannical Shang Dynasty. "

【People in fairy tales! 】

After Jifa's comment was published, many people thought he was a real god and knelt down on their knees.

"It's not a god. The Investiture of the Gods is also a fictional story. It should be viewed separately from real history. Let's talk about the events in The Investiture of the Gods later.

Now let’s get back to the topic. What our ancestor Ji Fa said was right. This is basically what he meant.

For these eight words, dynasties throughout history fought madly, fighting to the death, all for the highest position. It wasn't the position of the Son of Heaven of Zhou, but the position of the emperor. Everyone wanted to be the emperor, and too many people died on the road to imperial power.
