Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 244
Chapter 244 Receive Orders from the Heavens
Qin Mubai understood Li Ke’s feelings. Most likely, he thought that this might be Emperor Yang’s tomb-that was the burial ground of his grandfather, so how could he allow others to tarnish it?
However, didn’t Yang Guang, the former Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, die in Jiangnan, Jiangdu?
Back then, Yu Culture and the mutiny forced Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to hang. As an emperor, Yang Guang didn’t even need a decent coffin after his death. His empress had to dismantle the bed to make a small coffin and secretly buried it under the Flowing Pearl Hall of Jiangdu Palace. It was not until the Great Tang calmed down Jiangnan that Yu Zhenguan reburied it in Leitang with the ceremony of imperialism in the fifth year of the reign of Zhenguan. This had happened a few years ago, and now it was almost known to everyone in the world!
Just as Qin Mubai was pondering and puzzled, Li Ke said softly, “Mubai, accompany this king into the hall.”
Qin Mubai was slightly stunned and nodded.
Li Ke had never called himself “This King” in front of Qin Mubai, and he called this tomb “Palace”. It could be seen that his mood was very serious, as if he had only appeared when he was in the Imperial Court.
Li Ke stood upright, adjusted his clothes, and walked into the hall with his head held high. Qin Mubai followed closely behind and followed.
The “hall” was very bright and silky. Everything was like the formal furnishings of the Golden Royal Palace. There was a red carpet beneath his feet, and there were soldiers guarding by his side. Of course, it was Shi Che’s puppet, and his armor was sharp and vivid.
There were also civil and military officials in the hall, all of whom were the same Shi Che dolls. Judging from their official robes, they were indeed from the former Sui Dynasty.
Qin Mubai now understood what Zhao Chong’s grandfather was using the Bright Light Armor for-he was a military attach é, wearing this set of military armor, and came to the Imperial Court to participate in the battle!
Li Ke’s footsteps were heavy, and he slowly walked forward. He looked at the golden throne hall in front of him without blinking.
However, there were only dragon chairs left in the Golden Royal Palace, and none of them were present. The civil and military officials were also completely silent. The sound of their footsteps was extremely abrupt in this empty palace, shocking many of the dust from the former Sui Dynasty.
Looking back, it was already a hundred years old. At this moment, Qin Mubai clearly felt this way. Decades had passed, and rivers and mountains had changed. The former emperor, Yang Guang, had already turned into dust. However, how could he not be associated with this situation?
Young commander-in-chief Wu Xun was outstanding. At the age of 20, he conquered the north to unify the world. In this respect, Yang Guang’s martial arts were not inferior to Li Shimin’s; Later, he ascended to the throne in roughly the same manner as Li Shimin-killing his brother and forcing his father to come and usurp the throne. After ascending to the throne, Yang Guang showed great ambition, defeated Khitan and exterminated Tuyuhun. He was worshipped by outsiders as “Sacred Khan”, and opened the Imperial Examination Canal. Although he had worked hard and lost money, he had benefited from the influence of a thousand years until now; He had great joy in conquering Korea, causing chaos in the world … His literary talent and temperament were the same, and he looked at Yang Guang’s entire life, both wonderful and tortuous, and also played the roles of a hero and a bear at the same time.
The historians of the Great Tang who had the right to speak were more likely to discredit Yang Guang. Since even Li Yuan had given him the posthumous title of “Yang”, it was difficult for these historians to do so.
Yu, good inner courtesy yu, go to the courtesy yu, heaven-defying abuse people yue yang, is almost the worst posthumous title, can be said to be a strong insult and demeaning nature of posthumous title.
With Li Yuan as the initiator, under the tireless efforts of the historians of the Great Tang Dynasty and the criticism of True Monarchs of Morality in the past thousand years, Yang Guang became a synonym for a tyrant, and he was useless.
It was true that he had once tyrannized this, but this could not obliterate his success and contribution.
History has always been written by victors, but this does not mean that the traces of historical truth can be destroyed. The Grand Canal, the Imperial Examination, and the unification of China, which had been in turmoil for more than three hundred years, could not be erased by anyone. However, there were always some people who held the right to speak, and they always liked to use foolish methods to confuse the people and distort history by covering their ears and stealing bells.
However, such a stupid method always worked. Everyone’s mouth twinkled with gold, and lying a thousand times would always turn out to be true. As a result, the real Yang Guang in history became blurry, tyrant Emperor Yang was magnified infinitely, tired of being whipped for a thousand years.
Actually, the gains and losses were mixed, which was probably the most pertinent evaluation of Yang Guang.
…
For a time, Qin Mubai and Li Ke fell into a tacit silence, as if they were listening to the song from the former Sui Dynasty and recalling that dusty history.
The scene in front of them made them feel as if they were in the Golden Royal Palace of the former Sui Dynasty. The officials under the hall stood in a dignified and dignified manner. On the dragon chair sat the young and ambitious Emperor Yang Guang, who had the crown of Yu Lian Gun. His imperial qi was fluttering with passion and his hair was thin. He was pointing at the rivers and mountains to promulgate policies and strategies …
After an unknown period of time, Li Ke coughed lightly and said, “Mubai, shouldn’t we look around?”
“That makes sense.” Qin Mubai smiled and calmed down the heavy atmosphere. “Originally, we were here to hunt for novelty and treasures.”
“Just don’t destroy these relics.” Li Ke said.
“Of course.” Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, “It’s just the two of us. Let’s just walk around and take a look. Let’s treat this as a sightseeing.”
“This is also good.”
Li Ke nodded his head and began to walk downstream. He first looked at the puppet stonemen, then at the jade pillar coiling dragon, but Qin Mubai discovered that his heart was still not wilting-wasn’t that the case with Qin Mubai?
At the heart of the hall was, of course, the empty dragon chair-if there was anything good, it would definitely be there!
Li Ke’s misgivings are understandable, because this may be Li Guang’s legacy palace, he is embarrassed to offend his grandfather, understandable. Moreover … he, a prince, was in such a hurry to get into the throne throne of the Golden Royal Palace, there would always be some suspicion of “Sima Zhao”.
“Your Highness, why don’t we go take a look at the throne of the Dragon Chair?” Hence, Qin Mubai suggested.
Li Ke’s eyes flashed with joy, but he only casually nodded his head, “Alright.”
As a result, the two of them split up into left and right dragon walks and walked onto the dragon throne.
The pure gold dragon chair was like a fake one; The ink stone brush stand made of silk brocade and ink jade, which had not decayed in the slightest for many years, was extremely precious!
Qin Mubai and Li Ke were dumbfounded by these artifact formats-they were definitely real people, and they weren’t fake and shoddy products made by ambitious people at all!
In other words, this place was really the legacy palace of the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty? !
A moment later, the two of them were completely attracted to something–
The agarwood box on the imperial table had nine coiling dragons carved on it.
Li Ke almost held his breath and whispered, “Mubai, what do you think it would be?”
“Don’t you know just by opening it?” Qin Mubai knitted his brows and said carefully.
He couldn’t be careless.
This was because according to common sense, there was only one thing in a box decorated with nine coils of dragons that was placed on the imperial table–
Imperial Seal!
“You … you go open it and take a look!” Li Ke gulped down a mouthful of saliva and said.
“Alright.” Qin Mubai nodded and reached out to hold the agarwood box. Try to feel it a little harder, sink!
Apparently not empty.
He looked at Li Ke in surprise. Li Ke also revealed a joyful expression, but there was a trace of panic mixed in!
At this moment, Qin Mubai had already opened the box.
A strange light burned his eyes, and a divine object appeared!
“Really!” The two of them couldn’t help but blurt out in unison!
Pure white jade, four inches in radius, five dragons in the New York Stock Exchange, imposing aura!
Li Ke’s hands trembled as he grabbed the jade seal and hurriedly flipped it over. He immediately widened his eyes and said in shock, “If you accept orders from the heavens, you will live forever!”
“This is Li Si’s calligraphy brush from the Prime Minister Kingdom of Da Qin. It can’t be wrong.” Li Ke’s face turned slightly pale as he muttered nervously, “It really is the Imperial Jade Seal!”
“If this is the true imperial jade seal, then what does His Majesty the Emperor use now?” The two of them cried out at the same time.
At the same time, they were silent. The two of them looked at each other in panic and were speechless.
After being stunned for a long time, Li Ke carefully put the jade seal into the box and took a deep breath to calm his emotions. He said, “It is said that after the death of the Sui Dynasty, Empress Xiao and Emperor Yang Sun Zheng escaped into the northern desert with the jade seal and attached themselves to the Turks. A few years ago, when Li Jingping annihilated the Turks, Empress Xiao came back with a seal. Her father, Emperor Long Yan, was delighted. Before this, because Father Emperor didn’t have the Imperial Jade Seal, he had carved several seals, such as’ Destiny Treasure ‘and’ Destiny Treasure ‘, to console himself. Right now, we are unable to identify the authenticity of this jade seal. “Unless we can find evidence that it is genuine here!”
Qin Mubai nodded and said, “It is said that the real jade seal broke a corner and was repaired with gold. I think I saw this just now. However, I have seen the jade seal in His Majesty’s hand before. It is almost exactly the same as the one we see now. It is hard to tell whether it is true or false.”
Actually, Qin Mubai really wanted to say that if he wanted to know the truth, wouldn’t he just ask Empress Xiao? Isn’t she currently in Li Shimin’s harem? !
However, such a thing was too taboo. Qin Mubai did not say anything.
It’s not just this little thing that’s taboo. The jade seal is at most an antique and a simple symbol to our people now. We don’t care at all about it in the modern age of fake goods.
But the ancients didn’t think so. In their eyes, the jade seal was a symbol of imperial power. Successive emperors are to get the seal as a talisman, if precious, the heavy weapon of the country. Gain symbolizes that it is “ordered by the heavens”, and loss indicates that it is “out of energy”. Whoever ascended to the throne without such a seal was ridiculed as the “White Emperor”, appearing to be lacking in confidence and being despised by the world. Even a wise monarch like Li Shimin, who had been on the throne for several years, would still be upset about not obtaining a true jade seal.
At this moment, the jade seal fell into Li Ke’s hands!
Qin Mubai could imagine how complicated Li Ke’s mood was. The thing he wanted to do most now was to confirm exactly whether this jade seal was real or not!
“Mubai, let’s look around and see if there are any other clues to prove the authenticity of this seal!” Li Ke said with a serious expression, “This matter is big, we must be serious and careful.”
“I understand,” Qin Mubai nodded lightly.
