When Concubine Zhuang escaped, she originally planned to take the jade seal with her, but Queen Zhezhe was cautious.

She believed that the Ming army might not pay too much attention to the disappearance of orphans and widowed mothers. After all, the Qing Dynasty was already dead.

But the situation of taking away the jade seal was completely different. In order to find the jade seal, the Ming army must have turned Shengjing upside down.

This will greatly increase the difficulty for them to escape, and it is very unsafe to bring the jade seal with them. Even if they escape from Shengjing, the jade seal will bring disaster to them in the future.

So while escaping in a hurry, Zhezhe deliberately left out the package containing the jade seal. Concubine Zhuang Bumubutai didn't know about this. She still thinks that the jade seal was snatched away by the Ming army.

When he saw the jade seal, Zhu Cixi was also surprised. He hurriedly took the jade seal and looked through it twice. He saw that it was made of a complete piece of jade, with the emperor's seal engraved on it.

He sneered, raised his hand and threw the so-called imperial seal to the floor:

"Snapped……"

Zhu Cixiang's arm strength was extremely strong, a loud noise was heard, and Yuxi was thrown to pieces by Zhu Cixiang...

Although jade is of high quality and very precious, it cannot be bought or sold, and the Ming Dynasty did not collect the Jiannu Jade Seal.

Zhu Cixiang would not allow Jiannu's jade seal to be kept in the Daming Palace, and would only break it.

Others didn't know it was a fake jade seal. They were all shocked when they saw Emperor Shenwu smashing the jade seal into pieces. Emperor Chongzhen also cast a dissatisfied look and said hurriedly:

"Your Majesty..."

Zhu Cihong knew what the Supreme Emperor meant. He shook his head and said:

"Father, this jade seal is fake. The words engraved on it are the emperor's seal, not the words Li Si carved. Moreover, there is not a corner missing, and there is no gold or jade inlay!"

Of course Chongzhen knew that the Ming Dynasty had not obtained the imperial seal. At first he thought the imperial seal was genuine, so he felt very unhappy when he saw Zhu Cixiang throwing the imperial seal.

Hearing Zhu Cixiang say it was a fake jade seal, Chongzhen said nothing. He stepped forward to pick up the broken jade seal and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, he did not see the eight characters engraved by Li Si.

Chongzhen was relieved, but he still felt a pity in his heart. Although it was a fake jade seal, it was a priceless piece of jade after all!

It is said that when the Yuan Dynasty fell, Emperor Yuan Shun took away the jade seal, but Emperor Hongwu did not get the jade seal. Where the Yuan Dynasty's traditional jade seal came from, perhaps only Kublai Khan knows...

Later, after Huang Taiji destroyed Lin Danhan, he obtained the imperial seal from Lin Danhan, which is the jade seal Zhu Cixi saw today.

When Zhu Cixiang saw Jiannu's jade seal, he already knew that Huang Taiji had not obtained the real jade seal!

Because this jade seal is not the real jade seal handed down from history, but a fake!

The predecessor of the Chuan Guo Jade Seal was the famous Heshi Bi.

In 689 BC, a Chu man named Bian He got a precious jade stone from Jingshan Mountain. Knowing that it was a priceless treasure, he dedicated it to King Li of Chu.

Unexpectedly, King Li of Chu thought it was just an ordinary mountain stone, and without even looking at it, he chopped off his left foot for the crime of deceiving the king.

After King Wu ascended the throne, Bian He came again with the piece of jade as a tribute. King Wu was furious and brought the old broken stone to deceive the king, and without saying a word, he chopped off his right foot.

After King Wen came to the throne, he came again. King Wen felt strange and secretly sighed that this man was so persistent, maybe he was really a treasure.

So I ordered to cut it open and take a look. As soon as I cut a corner, I saw a strange light shining inside. It was indeed a rare treasure.

King Wen named it "He's Bi", which became a legend through the ages. He's Bi also became "a common treasure in the world" and has been collected in the palace of Chu State.

Three hundred years later, He's Bi inexplicably flowed into the State of Zhao and fell into the hands of King Zhao Huiwen, arousing the covetousness of King Qin Zhaoxiang.

He expressed his willingness to exchange fifteen cities. When Lin Xiangru sent the Heshi Bi to the Qin Palace, King Qin Zhaoxiang broke his promise, so there was an allusion of returning the Bi to Zhao intact!

Later, Qin Shihuang swept across the world and unified Liuhe, and He's Bi naturally returned to the Qin Palace.

After Qin Shihuang ascended the throne, in order to show his imperial power and unprecedented achievements, he ordered Prime Minister Li Si to forge the Heshi Bi into a jade seal, with the eight characters "Ordered by Heaven, Live Long and Prosperous" engraved on it.

It means that he is appointed by heaven to be the emperor, and the jade seal is also a symbol of the emperor and will be passed down from generation to generation!

After the death of Qin Shihuang, the Dazexiang Uprising broke out in the Qin Dynasty. Liu Bang took the lead in entering Guanzhong, Ziying surrendered, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, and the imperial seal was passed to the Han Dynasty.

When Wang Mang persuaded the Han Dynasty and asked the Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan of the Han Dynasty for it, the Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan of the Han Dynasty angrily threw the national jade seal on the ground, and a corner of the national treasure was missing. Wang Mang later repaired it with gold, but it has left traces since then.

Later, in the well-known Three Kingdoms, when Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, was conquering Dong Zhuo, he found this national seal in the Zhen Palace in the south of Luoyang City.

Finally, this piece of jade seal fell into the hands of Cao Cao. Cao's Wei Kingdom declined and returned to Jin. From then on, the imperial seal continued to change owners.

It was not until the Tang Dynasty that Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, received the imperial seal and renamed it Bao.

It is said that the imperial seal finally disappeared in history in the fifth generation.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Zhu Quanzhong deposed Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty, seized the imperial seal, and established the Later Liang Dynasty.

In 923 AD, Li Cunxu destroyed the Later Liang Dynasty and established the Later Tang Dynasty. The imperial seal also came to the Later Tang Dynasty.

The last emperor to hold the Imperial Seal was Li Congke. When Li Congke and his concubine climbed to the Xuanwu Tower to accumulate salary and self-immolated, the mysterious Imperial Seal disappeared into the long river of history!

From then on, no matter whether it was the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty, they never gave up the search for the national jade seal.

As a symbol of the supremacy of imperial power, the Imperial Seal has also become the target of countless people's search. It can be called China's first national treasure.

After breaking the jade seal, Zhu Cixiang's eyes were immediately attracted by several letters in his hand.

Without any hesitation, he immediately took out the letter from the envelope and read it. When he saw the content of the letter, Zhu Cihong immediately felt like he had found a treasure and put the letter away with a smile.

These letters will not be seen by the second person for the time being, and Zhu Cixiang believes that they will definitely be used one day in the future.

These letters were between Huang Taiji and the current Yanshenggong Kong Yinzhi. Zhu Cixiang was worried that he didn't know how to take care of the Kong family. When he was dozing off, Jiannu sent him a pillow.

In order to prevent the Kong family from getting wind of it, Zhu Cixi could only put away the letters for the time being, and planned to clean up the Kong family before taking them out.

Without evidence, the Kong family cannot act casually. Even if he is as fierce as Zhu Cixiang, he would not dare to act rashly. At least he would not be able to get over the hurdle of Chongzhen.

…

The house raiding operation continued until dark. For the money, the soldiers lit torches and continued to hug the money. Looking at the yellow and white things in front of them, they didn't feel hungry...

Zhu Cixiang was originally planning to celebrate the success of the soldiers, but when he saw that it was getting late, he decided to raid his home first and hold a celebration banquet for the soldiers in two days.

Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan, Cao Bianjiao, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu, Jin Guofeng and other generals conducted raids smoothly. Occasionally they encountered some resistance and were immediately killed.

Carloads of gold, silver, and silk were transported to the Jiannu Palace. The Jiannu nobles confiscated the total amount calculated in silver, which amounted to more than 20 million taels of silver.

In addition to the more than 50 million taels of the previous Jiannu treasury, more than 70 million taels of silver were obtained this time. Adding gold, jewelry, cloth, etc., the value is definitely more than 90 million taels of silver.

The only thing that Zhu Cixi regretted was that the slaves did not have much food, only a total of more than 50,000 shi. This was related to the Ming Dynasty's sanctions and the damage to crops in southern Liaoning.

In order to minimize the food aid for the Jiannu slaves, the Ming Dynasty destroyed eight major Shanxi merchants, which dealt a huge blow to the Jiannu slaves. In addition, the Ming army continued to destroy the farmland of the Jiannu slaves in southern Liaoning, resulting in a sharp decline in the food harvest of the Jiannu slaves.

The lack of food is not a big problem. The Ming Dynasty is still transporting food to Liaodong through waterways and dry roads. Some Ming troops will soon return to their original base.

…

Seeing the cartloads of silver arriving, Emperor Chongzhen lost all sleep. Accompanied by Lao Wang, he had been watching the soldiers unloading the silver...

Zhu Cixiang has returned to the palace to rest. Hu Bao and Yue Yang, with a bodyguard of General Qian, are responsible for the safety of Emperor Shenwu.

"Tap tap tap..."

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and Qiu Mingyang, the governor of Liaodong, arrived in a hurry. He said to the imperial guard at the door:

"Is Your Majesty resting in peace?"

Yue Yang heard someone talking loudly outside. He immediately came over to check and found that it was Qiu Mingyang, the governor of Liaodong.

Without waiting for Yue Yang to ask, Qiu Mingyang, the governor of Liaodong, hurriedly said to Yue Yang:

"Master Yue, Gao Jie is besieged by slave-building civilians. Please give me a report, Master Yue."

"Sir, please wait a moment, I will report to Your Majesty."

As soon as Zhu Cixiang lay down on the dragon bed, he saw Yue Yang arriving. Seeing that Yue Yang's face was not very good-looking, Zhu Cixiang frowned:

"What happened?"

Yue Yang hurriedly handed over his hands and reported:

"Your Majesty, Gao Jie is in trouble. When he searched the slave-building civilians, he encountered fierce resistance. Mr. Qiu asked how to deal with it..."

Zhu Cixiang was furious when he heard this:

"Isn't it the same as establishing slaves who are fighting to the death? You still need to ask me about this kind of thing. I can directly send troops to kill them all..."

"According to the order!"

Yue Yang accepted the order and hurriedly exited.

Seeing Yue Yang coming out, Qiu Mingyang asked hurriedly:

"Master Yue, what did your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty is very unhappy. He said that civilians who established slaves are not slaves. Anyone who dares to attack the Ming army will be killed..."

"Kill them all?"

After all, they were civil servants. When Qiu Mingyang heard the word "kill everyone", he was a little uncomfortable, but they did not stop and immediately turned around to find Lu Xiangsheng.

It turned out that the first person Gao Jie sent to report the news was Qiu Mingyang, the governor of Liaodong. He knew that Qiu Mingyang was a high official, so he reported the situation to Qiu Mingyang.

When Qiu Mingyang heard about the conflict between Jiannu civilians and Gaojie's tribe, for the sake of safety, he first thought of reporting it to Emperor Shenwu.

If the person who reported the news was looking for He Renlong or the general of the National Defense Army, they would have led their army to kill him.

Because of the house confiscation, the Lu Xiangsheng brothers had just started to have dinner and were about to have a drink when they suddenly saw Qiu Mingyang, the governor of Liaodong, arriving.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled slightly, and was about to ask Qiu Mingyang to sit down and have a drink, but saw Qiu Mingyang bowing and saying:
To be continued...
