His Majesty once married me

What was displayed in front of everyone was a square piece of mutton fat jade, about the size of two fists of an adult man, except for the fact that it is crystal clear, it looks plain at first glance, but as long as you turn the direction of your eyes slightly, you will be able to see it. It was discovered that there was a lifelike Panlong hidden in the jade.

Gao Ming carefully turned the jade over, revealing the eight characters engraved on the bottom——

Blessed by heaven, life will last forever.

Seeing these eight characters, Gao Ming couldn't help but glanced at Qi Yunheng above, but found that there was no trace of joy on his face, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought with certainty: That idiot flattered the horse's leg .

After Qi Yunheng entered the capital, Chuanguo Yuxi disappeared together with Emperor Xinghe. Although this matter was not announced to the world, many ministers knew about it.

However, it is not a new thing to find the jade seals of the previous dynasty after the change of dynasty. It is also a common practice to replace the jade seals. Due to the influence of wars and other aspects, there were very few jade seals from the previous dynasty that could be passed on to the new dynasty intact.

Qi Yunheng's side also had a long-term response. Before ascension to the throne, the new imperial jade seal and daily seal were ready.

But regardless of whether the Chuan Guo Yuxi presented today is true or not, the process of its dedication is very wrong!

The correct order should be to first find a minister who has a personal relationship with His Majesty the Emperor and can be interviewed, and convey to him the fact that he has accidentally obtained the Jade Seal, and then, under his recommendation, quietly send the Jade Seal to the Imperial Palace and hand it over to His Majesty the Emperor himself , so that His Majesty the Emperor can distinguish the authenticity of the jade seal without alarming others, and then arrange the follow-up.

Only after that can a wonderful drama like today be staged.

"Show this thing to all the ministers." Qi Yunheng on the dragon chair was not in a hurry to examine the indistinguishable jade seal, and waved his hand, asking Gao Ming to hand over the jade seal to Eunuch Wei, who would then present it to the courtiers for inspection .

But all the courtiers are you looking at me, I look at you, no one dares to take over.

Eunuch Wei was at a loss immediately, but he didn't dare to act rashly. Holding the jade seal, he stood tremblingly in front of the courtiers.

Gao Ming also carefully guarded him, ready to protect Yuxi in his arms at any time.

Whether it's true or not, this thing can't tolerate any mistakes now.

Seeing the silence below, Qi Yunheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Among you, has anyone seen the Jade Seal of Chuanguo from the previous dynasty?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, even if I saw it, it was just a glimpse, and I really can't be sure." Wan Shan, the oldest official in the scarlet robe, stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, please allow this humble minister to presume, and to this bit..."

Wan Shan paused, apparently not knowing the name of this fourth-rank official.

"Master Cao Hong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry." Eunuch Wei immediately identified this person.

——It’s the Ministry of Industry again!

Many people unanimously uttered a slander in their hearts.

Wan Shan also glanced at a certain colleague beside him, and then continued: "Please allow me to ask Mr. Cao a few questions."

"Wan Shangshu, please." Qi Yunheng nodded in agreement, and at the same time glanced at the vermilion border beside Wan Shan, but saw that he looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth, with a calm appearance of staying out of the matter.

On the other hand, Wan Shan has already asked Cao Hong about the origin of Chuan Guo Yuxi.

Cao Hong didn't give unreliable answers such as "it fell from the sky" or "it was picked up". He only said that his wife was kind-hearted and often helped beggars at the door of the house, and there was no change after moving to the capital.A few days ago, a beggar who had been rescued by his wife suddenly came to his door and said that he would give Cao Hong a fortune. Then he took out this jade seal and wanted to sell it to Cao Hong by force.

Although Cao Hong has never seen the real Jade Seal of Chuanguo, he can tell from a cursory look that this thing is not trivial.I wanted to arrest the beggar for interrogation, but he is just a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, and there are only old servants and young servants in the family, and he is even more afraid that Yuxi will be damaged in the fight. After weighing it, he finally took out his family savings , made an exchange with the beggar.

The reason why Cao Hong chose to openly present the jade seal at the Great Court Meeting was also because he was born in a poor family. Even if he held an official position in the new dynasty, he still had no background, no backing, and no way to reach the sky, so he had to take the risk , hid the jade seal in the official hat, and secretly brought it to the court meeting.

After listening to him, all the courtiers once again looked at me and I at you, looking at each other.

There are believers, there are also unbelievers, and those who are half-believers are the worst.

"Your Majesty, why don't you order someone to fetch a few edicts from the previous court and compare them with this one." Ji Hong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, proposed a relatively reliable method.

This is the most intuitive way to distinguish, just like verifying handwriting, comparing the authentic handwriting with the thing that needs to be verified.Although the latter cannot be judged to be true on the spot even if they are exactly the same, but if there is a difference between the two, then the latter is undoubtedly a fake.

But before Qi Yunheng could answer, a chuckle came from the far left side of the front row of the hall, "Why bother?"

All the courtiers immediately turned their heads in unison, and then found that the one who disturbed the atmosphere in the palace was the imperial husband Ouyang who had just had a quarrel just before.

"What's the point of double eaves?" Qi Yunheng didn't want Ouyang to get involved in this matter, but he still had to ask a question, lest courtiers question Ouyang's frivolity and rashness, and then choke with him.

"Return to Your Majesty, no." Ouyang smiled, and continued without waiting for the people around him to change their faces further, "I just don't know if Your Majesty still remembers that ten years ago, after the wedding, my minister broke a piece of paper into pieces. Yusong playing with His Majesty?"

"Is this what Chongyan is talking about?" Qi Yunheng was slightly taken aback, then untied the purse from his waist, and took out a piece of broken jade with a very irregular shape.

Seeing that Qi Yunheng took out the broken jade he was talking about on the spot, and then saw that the broken jade was not carved, but the edges and corners were smoothed, obviously it was often held and played with by others, Ouyang couldn't help feeling complicated. After he settled down, he nodded and said, "It's exactly this thing."

Qi Yunheng looked at the broken jade in his hand, but still didn't understand why Ouyang suddenly mentioned it.

Just as Ouyang said, he just threw this piece of broken jade to Qi Yunheng to play with.Although the texture of jade can be regarded as the best of the best, it is almost impeccable, but the volume is too small, and it has obviously been broken, so its value becomes very limited.

It's just that there is a cloud word engraved on the bottom of this piece of jade, so that Qi Yunheng once thought that this jade was a seal engraved by Ouyang himself. It was only because of his limited perseverance that he had no patience to continue before it was completed, and he didn't want to waste his time, so he pretended not to be there. Throw it away to him willingly.

It was precisely because of such a beautiful expectation that Qi Yunheng carefully hid the broken jade by his side, and once used it as a private seal...

--signet? !

Qi Yunheng's eyes lit up suddenly, thinking of a certain possibility, he immediately said to Eunuch Wei: "Wei Qing, present the jade in your hand!"

Eunuch Wei didn't know why, but he still sent this indistinguishable real and fake Jade Seal to Qi Yunheng's case.

Qi Yunheng pulled a piece of white paper, picked up the jade seal presented by Cao Hong, stained it with some vermilion ink pad, and pressed it heavily on the paper, but then threw the jade seal aside, and picked up his broken piece again. The jade, stained with the same ink pad, was pressed next to the seal of the jade seal.

Then, Qi Yunheng held up the piece of paper.

Just as he guessed, the cloud character under the broken jade seal and the Yun character in the four characters "Fengtian Chengyun" on the jade seal are of the same size and exactly the same size!

Is it...

Qi Yunheng's mood suddenly became as complicated as Ouyang's.

At the same time, as the piece of paper was lifted up, many courtiers also saw the mark on the white paper.

The civil servants were still confused, but the generals' side quickly heard exclamations one after another, making the unsuspecting people more and more confused and confused.

"My mother, is this the real Jade Seal of Chuanguo?!"

Finally, Duke Yi's rough voice solved the mystery for everyone.

The broken jade in Qi Yunheng's hands will only be used as a private seal when secret orders are issued. There are very few civil servants who have seen such secret orders, and military generals like Duke Yi have dealt with them in battles.It's just that there are very few generals who can link the private seal and the jade seal in an instant, and the only one who realizes this and dares to say it is Duke Yi.

Zhu Bian, who was among the civil servants, also showed a surprised expression.

He has seen this piece of broken jade, but in recent years, his eyesight has become more and more troublesome, and he couldn't see clearly what was printed on the piece of paper that Qi Yunheng held up.

"Your Majesty, can you let me open your eyes?" Zhu Bian stepped forward resolutely, and asked Qi Yunheng for the white paper with the private seal and jade seal stamped at the same time.

Qi Yunheng smiled slightly, and handed this piece of paper to Eunuch Wei, who then handed it to Zhu Bian, and circulated it among the courtiers.

Seeing the comparison on the paper, and then thinking of Duke Yi's exclamation, the civil servants finally understood.

——The word cloud on the broken jade is the same size as the word cloud in the word fortune on the jade seal, exactly the same!

But the jade seal was presented by Cao Hong today, but the broken jade fell into Qi Yunheng's hands ten years ago, and it was given by the emperor's husband!

In an instant, the courtiers couldn't help thinking about it.

Zhu Bian even turned around directly, bowed solemnly to Ouyang, and then asked bluntly: "I have the courage to ask, I wonder where the cloud word jade presented by the emperor's husband comes from?"

——Give you a big-headed ghost, I just threw it out at that time!

Ouyang twitched the corners of his mouth, but still answered, "I picked it up."

"Pick it up?!"

The courtiers all stared wide-eyed, and the first reaction was that the emperor was talking nonsense.

"That's right, I picked it up." Ouyang nodded solemnly, "As for how to pick it up and the process, I'm sorry for not going into details."

The courtiers were speechless for a while, their hearts already filled with slander.

But Zhu Bian persisted and continued to ask: "Can I ask the emperor to give me some hints, at least let me understand, what is the broken jade and why?"

Ouyang didn't answer immediately, he raised his head and glanced at Qi Yunheng first, seeing him nod his head slightly, then he thought about his words, and said slowly: "In the seventh year of Xinghe, Guanglan County, which had been drought for three years, suddenly had heavy rains and floods , Emperor Xinghe ordered Wu Pinghou to go to Guanglan County for disaster relief. But after Wu Pinghou got the money and food for the disaster relief, he not only did not send it to the disaster area, but used the money and food to recruit a group of victims, brought them under his command, and assembled Cheng Jun, then proclaimed himself king, and raised the flag of rebellion. When this matter was reported back to the capital, Emperor Xinghe was furious, and angrily overturned the table in front of him, dropped the imperial pen, and smashed the jade seal."

Having said that, Ouyang shut his mouth and did not continue.
