Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 524: Jiao Zhao seals the king

The treasure in the arms of Eunuch Ma of Shang Baojian is the second jade seal of Emperor Yongli. The first jade seal was used when Zhaoqing was enthroned, but it was lost when he fled Guilin, and his whereabouts are unknown now. Now this jade seal was made by Sun Kewang during the Anlong period for Yongli. In order to distinguish it from the lost jade seal and avoid being taken advantage of by the Qing army, this jade seal is slightly smaller than the lost one, so that it can be The authenticity can be seen from the size of the seal on the imperial edict.

This jade seal was damaged, and a small piece was obviously missing from the corner. After questioning Eunuch Ma, Xu Yingyuan learned that yesterday the holy car was out of the city in a hurry. , and Shang Baojian, who has always been in charge of the imperial seal, has become the first choice for those people.

In the chaos, Eunuch Ma didn't care about anything else, and only took two cronies and guards to escape from the Guogong's mansion, but then found that the whole city was in chaos, and the holy car had also left the city. The three of them had no choice but to go to Wuhua Mountain to wait for the city to settle down before leaving the city. Never thought that in the middle of the night, many robbers came to the unfinished Wuhua Mountain Palace, looting and destroying the palace. Eunuch Ma was worried that Dabao would be snatched by those strong men, so he had to go out of the city with his subordinates in the dark. When going down the mountain, due to the panic and rush to walk, Eunuch Ma fell on the stone steps, rolled a dozen steps, and kowtowed his head to the point of bleeding.

After the three of them left the city at night, they were also lucky. On the way, they used the money they brought with them to exchange for an ox cart with a family of people. Only then did they have a means of transportation. But I never thought that the jade seal that was preserved after all the hard work was actually robbed by the soldiers of the King of Jin. The two little inner prisoners were also so frightened that they squatted on the ground and trembled, thinking that their lives would be lost this time.

"The emperor has run away, what do you want this broken seal to do?"

Liang Shuanghu thought that the Fang Mound was a good thing, but after hearing that Guo Shao said it was the emperor's jade seal, he lost interest. Xu Yingyuan had already said that his commander didn't want this emperor, and wanted to replace Daming with another emperor. In this case, isn't the emperor's jade seal a waste? Could it be that the new emperor still uses the jade seal of the old emperor? This **** is really unlucky, can the new emperor be happy?

Guo Shao didn't have time to explain anything to the rough man Liang Shuanghu, but although he knew that the emperor's jade seal was a good thing, the best thing in the world, but he couldn't think of what the jade seal could be used for for a while. To support the king of Tang, this Yongli jade seal is a tasteless piece, it is useless to take it, and it is a pity to abandon it.

However, Xu Yingyuan was emotionally mulling over this great treasure of eternal calendar in his hand. At this moment, I only felt that the hero was finally useful, and Xu Yingyuan could finally be promoted to the ranks of senior officials of the Taiping Army with this jade seal. Well, as long as he can maximize the benefits of this jade seal.

After careful planning in his mind for a long time, Xu Yingyuan calmed down the excitement in his heart, took a long breath, and then turned his head and said to Guo Shao calmly, "Brother Guo, I have to trouble you to draw up the imperial edict."

"Let me draw up the imperial decree?" Guo Shao was taken aback, and at that moment he didn't understand what Xu Yingyuan meant.

Xu Yingyuan's face was serious: "The jade seal falls into our hands, of course we have to draw up a decree, otherwise this jade seal will be used for bullshit."

"Can this be done?"

Guo Shaozhen was frightened by Xu Yingyuan's boldness, and the matter of robbing the princess was also audacious, but compared with what Xu Yingyuan said now, it was really nothing. This is a fake decree!

However, Xu Yingyuan didn't have Guo Shao's consciousness at all, he just smiled there, and then asked Guo Shao, "Brother Guo, do you know what the commander wants to do most now?"

"King Qin? Embracing a new king?" Guo Shao was a little unsure.

"No," Xu Yingyuan shook his head slightly, and said with certainty, "The thing that the commander wants to do most is to be a prince."

Guo Shao was silent. Zhou Shixiang's desire to be a prince is no longer a secret in the Taiping Army, nor is it a secret in the Yongli court, because after the scholar Guo Zhiqi came back from Guangdong, he was dedicated to asking him to be crowned king for a long time. . On the Guangdong side, the Governor Lianchengbi also hinted faintly in his memorial to the imperial court that Zhou Shi had unreasonable thoughts about the king.

Guo Shao and Xu Yingyuan were both demoted, and they were able to cooperate with each other in Kunming. In essence, both of them wanted Zhou Shixiang's status to become higher and higher, and the Taiping Army to become stronger and stronger, because this meant that they were the earliest The surrendered officials can have a better future, at least, their lives are safe. Therefore, Guo Shao was very happy to see that Zhou Shixiang could get the title of prince, so he finally understood what Xu Yingyuan wanted to do.

"Brother Xu, do you mean to use this jade seal to make a copy of the imperial edict?"

Guo Shao's voice trembled a little. He was just a small salt inspector, but now he was going to participate in the conferring of the king, how could he not panic.

"Back then, the Duke of Qing, Chen Bangfu, and others used Dabao to make a copy of the King of Qin's book for Sun Kewang. Now that Dabao is in our hands, why can't we make a copy of the book for the commander?"

Xu Yingyuan raised his brows with a proud look on his face, feeling proud of his whimsical idea. Just imagine, if he can do what Zhou Xiucai dreamed of, how can Zhou Xiucai not miss him?

Guo Shao was a little worried: "The court doesn't know about the matter of conferring the king. Can we make it useful?"

This makes sense. The Yongli court knew that the emperor did not want to make Zhou Shixiang a king. Guo Zhiqi had fought for so long, but he had only fought for Zhou Shixiang, who was a princess of the Yue Kingdom. Now the emperor suddenly ordered Zhou Shixiang to be the prince. And the whole court knew nothing about it, and anyone who thought about it would understand that it must be false.

Xu Yingyuan thought for a while, then smiled softly: "The decree of uprightness and justice will definitely not work, let's change our clothes and take an edict."

"A belt edict?!"

Guo Shao was stunned again, how could he not know what to wear. When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao moved the capital to Xu County to welcome the Son of Heaven, and he had a conflict with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xian of Han wrote an edict with blood, sewed it in his belt, and passed it on to Dong Cheng in secret. Dong Cheng claimed to have accepted the secret edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and murdered Cao Cao with Chong Ji, Wu Shuo, Wang Zifu, Liu Bei, etc. As a result, Jian'an was defeated and executed.

"Brother Xu won't let the commander murder King Jin, right?"

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued an imperial edict to punish Cao Cao, and now the emperor's side can be compared with Cao Cao's power, who else besides the King of Jin?

Guo Shao didn't dare to think that Xu Yingyuan really wanted to come up with an edict that the emperor asked Zhou Xiucai to kill the King of Jin, and this already turbulent and fragmented Ming Dynasty could be saved.

"Brother Guo thinks too much."

Xu Yingyuan laughed twice, and with a "squeak", he tore off a piece of white clothes from the cuff, and then said to him: "The Qing army has entered Yunnan in a big way to chase the holy car, and the emperor urgently issued an edict to invite my commander to come to King Qin. , to reward the King of Qin for the merits of the prince, no matter how you look at it, there is no point. After all, everyone in the court knows that the emperor has a prejudice against the general, so the emperor is good at face, so it is inconvenient to issue a decree to ask my general to come to the king and change his clothes. Isn't it very reasonable to bring an edict." After speaking, he pointed to Eunuch Ma who was being held aside: "Eunuch Shangbao brought a **** with a belt to find us, why is it unreasonable?"

Guo Shao was speechless by Xu Yingyuan's words, so he could only say, "How can you call it an imperial edict without the blood of the emperor?"

"What kind of emperor's blood is taken, use his."

Xu Yingyuan waved his hand, and his eyes fell on the confused and panic-stricken Eunuch Ma, with an unpredictable smile on his face.

......

Just as Eunuch Ma was about to question him when he was pulled over, his palm hurt, and before he could shout, someone brought a bowl to wait for his blood.

"oops!"

Eunuch Ma was so frightened that he fainted.

Guo Shao is also from a family background, so it is not a problem to write an edict, but he stopped writing at the key point and asked Xu Yingyuan with an embarrassed face: "What kind of king is the commander named?"

"King Qin can't do it. Sun Kewang has used it. Let's use King Qi."

Xu Yingyuan said casually, the clothes and belts were all fake, so it didn't matter what the king's name was. But he really didn't dare to get a king name at will, thinking that the king of Qin called Sun Kewang to use it, then he could only choose the second-ranked king of Qi, and really wanted to choose an unattractive king name, such as King Wei, King Chen, etc. , I'm afraid the commander isn't happy either. He didn't want to screw up the big credit.

The King of Qi is the King of Qi, and Guo Shao is now at the mercy of Xu Yingyuan, whatever he says. After a while, the belt edict was freshly released, with only a hundred words before and after.

"Brother Xu, use the seal."

Xu Yingyuan took the belt edict in his hand, looked it over carefully, confirmed that there was no problem, blew it again and again, and then placed it on the ground respectfully, and covered it with the jade seal of the eternal calendar.

Eunuch Ma woke up, and he saw how the emperor's treasure was covered on the belt edict written in his blood.

"You?... You are not soldiers of the King of Jin, you are soldiers of Guangdong... Do you know that you are treasonous, treasonous, deceived, or..."

Gong Gong's speech was incoherent, and the scene he saw in front of him was the most absurd and the most daring thing he had ever seen in his life.

Guo Shao glanced at Eunuch Ma and said nothing. Xu Yingyuan squatted in front of the other party, stared at his face, and said very peacefully: "Death and life are in the mind of the father-in-law, I don't need to say more."

"Our house..."

Eunuch Ma felt ashamed, his chubby face flushed red, and he was about to grit his teeth and scold him~www.NovelMTL.com~ but when he saw a big man draw a knife next to him, he shivered and changed his tone tremblingly.

"The emperor is in danger, our family risked our lives to send an edict for the emperor to invite the king of Qi to come to rescue..."

Eunuch Ma is very interesting, and completely according to the version arranged for him by Xu Yingyuan, he interprets the loyal and good deeds of how a loyal minister and old slave risked his death to send an edict to the emperor.

Xu Yingyuan was very satisfied, but Guo Shao was very nervous, because there was one thing he had to remind Xu Yingyuan, that is, this edict was made, but if Yongli didn't admit it, then they made this edict. But it's like asking the handsome to eat a fly. Under the anger of the commander, the two of them were afraid that nothing would end well.

"Brother Guo, don't worry, if the emperor really wants to go to western Yunnan, he will never come back, so this edict will always be true."

A mysterious and unpredictable expression appeared on Xu Yingyuan's face again, as if he had calculated everything like an expert.
