Chapter 343

The king and his ministers walked and said that they soon arrived at Zhu Youjian's treasury.

The people guarding the treasury were not ordinary people, they were all from the East and West Factory. When they saw the arrival of the emperor and Wang Chengen, they hurriedly bowed and bowed:

"See Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian waved:

"No gifts, open the warehouse door."

"Abide by the order"

The guard captain immediately took out a key, walked to the trunk gate and inserted the key into the key hole. Wang Chengen also took out a key, and the two keys twisted at the same time to open the trunk gate.

It’s not that the emperor doesn’t believe them, it’s also for safety reasons. If either of them is not there, the treasury gate will not be opened.

The emperor and the queen also have a key to the treasury. If they want to enter the treasury privately, they can directly open the treasury door without the help of others.

After the treasury gate opened, Zhu Youjian stepped into the warehouse, and there were mountains of gold and silver in front of him, which made Zhu Youjian a little dizzy and felt very happy.

Lao Wang was also happy and could not calm down for a long time. He was worried that the emperor would not know who the gold and silver were, so he began to introduce Zhu Youjian:

"Your Majesty, this pile of silver is the income of the Royal Chamber of Commerce. It has not yet been fully in place. It has paid nearly one million taels of taxes to the Ministry of Revenue.

The princess was kind-hearted and worried about the country and the people. She told the Royal Chamber of Commerce to sell all items below the market price of 20%, otherwise the income would have exceeded 10 million taels long ago.

Here are gold, silver and jewelry drawn from the Mongol Yuan, with a quantity of about six million, and here are gold, silver and jewelry drawn from the Eastern Kid, with a quantity of about ten million taels."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for discovering the baby."

Before Wang Chengen finished speaking, a system prompt sound suddenly rang in Zhu Youjian's mind, and Zhu Youjian was stunned at the time:

"Discover babies? What a joke, there are all treasures here, can you find them with them?"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for discovering the imperial seal."

"What? Where is the imperial seal? Tell me quickly!"

When Zhu Youjian heard that the treasure he found was the imperial seal, he was immediately overjoyed. Since he was a time traveler, Zhu Youjian never considered whether he had the jade seal.

The emperor had never considered the jade seal, and of course Qi Jiguang and others did not expect that the jade seal in Dongkai's hands would be the real imperial seal, and they didn't care.

In ancient times, jade seals were symbols of emperors. If you want to sit firmly in the world, you must obtain the imperial seal, otherwise the throne would be considered illegal.

The jade seal in history was a seal passed down by emperors from all dynasties after the Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang, the first emperor in Chinese history, ordered the engraving of an emperor's jade seal after unifying China, which was called the "Secret of Emperors". It is said that it was cast by Heshi Bi.

According to historical records, this seal is four inches in a radius, with a dragon, fish, phoenix, and birds. Some people say that it is a dragon, fish, phoenix, and birds.

The front of the jade seal is engraved with the eight words "Accepted by heaven, and will live forever" written by Prime Minister Li Si in large seal script, as a token of "the divine imperial power is granted, orthodox and legal".

From then on, all emperors of all dynasties regarded the imperial seal as an important symbol of power and as a symbol of unification of the world.

Those who obtain the jade seal interpret the jade seal as a manifestation of "being obliged by heaven"; and once they lose the jade seal, they regard it as a manifestation of "exhausted energy" of the dynasty.

If any emperor ascended the throne without holding the imperial seal in his hand, he would be ridiculed as a "white emperor".

It means that you, the emperor, were sealed by yourself, and there was no way to prove it. The edicts they issued without jade seals are naturally not so convincing.

In October 206 BC, Liu Bang led the peasant uprising army to the Xianyang Ba. Qin Prince Ziying surrendered and presented the imperial seal to Liu Bang.

Liu Bang carefully cared for the jade seal, and after the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, he used it as the imperial seal of the new dynasty.

Liu Bang also hoped that the jade seal could be passed down from generation to generation in the Liu family, and called it the "Han Dynasty Seal" or "Han Dynasty National Treasure". The national jade seal was treasured in Changle Palace.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped power. A corner of the jade seal was thrown off and it was incomplete. Wang Mang and others used gold to make up for the missing corners. The jade seal still left flaw marks.

Later, the dynasty's jade seal was not preserved and was obtained by invading the Yuan Dynasty of the alien race. Zhu Yuanzhang had been searching for the jade seal but failed. It is said that he was taken away from the capital by the Mongol Yuan.

Later, Huang Taiji attacked the Mongol Yuan and eventually destroyed Lin Danhan and obtained the real imperial seal from Lin Danhan.

In November 1924, when Feng Yuxiang and others expelled the last emperor Boyi from the Forbidden City, police chief Zhang Bi, Lu Zhongzhen and others had searched for the imperial seal inlaid with gold in the palace, but they were not found.

At this point, people really want to believe that the true imperial seal has long been obscured by the historical yellow sand.

Some people also say that the imperial seal was passed down to the Republic of China and is now in the Palace Museum in Taipei. I wonder what the real situation is?

Although it does not say that it is like a symbol of the Chinese dragon vein, it is the emperor who is so evil, but at least it is a symbol that affects hundreds of millions of Chinese people.

As for how valuable is the imperial seal? It is no exaggeration to say that the imperial seal, which witnessed the feudal history of China for two thousand years, is definitely a priceless treasure.

When Zhu Youjian heard this news, how could he not be surprised? This is a treasure that even Emperor Taizu did not get.

Looking at the pile of gold, silver and jewelry, it was difficult to find jade seals mixed in, he immediately said to Wang Chengen:

"Hurry up, let all the guards outside the door come in."

"Abide by the order"

Lao Wang didn't understand why the emperor said that, but he didn't ask, and immediately called more than a dozen people outside the warehouse in.

"Your Majesty, we have never come in. Are there any precious treasures missing?"

The Dongchang men fell to their knees when they came in. They thought the emperor had found something missing and wanted to be punished.

"I didn't blame you. Please help me find the imperial seal. The real seal may be in the pile of gold, silver and jewelry in the east."

"God, this is a heart-wrenching problem for all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. If you really find the jade seal of the kingdom, the late emperors can rest in peace, look for it quickly..."

Others didn't know about this, but as Chongzhen's confidant eunuch, Wang Chengen certainly knew what the imperial seal meant to the Ming Dynasty, and tears flowed from excitement.

More than a dozen people started looking for the jade seal, and even Zhu Youjian took it on his own. There were too many treasures inside, so it was not that easy to find. After most of the day, nothing was found.

Lao Wang didn't know where the emperor came from, so he almost flipped through the gold and silver, but still couldn't find it. He started sweating on his head and felt lost.

But Zhu Youjian was not panicked at all. He knew that the system would not lie to him. The imperial seal must be inside:

"Don't rush to find it slowly. The thing must be here. Zhu Youjian said that, and picked up a cloth bag beside him and threw it aside.

Suddenly a piece of silk underwear was exposed from the inside. The underwear was embroidered with a phoenix. Most people couldn't afford it. They should be the clothes of the palace maid.

Zhu Youjian suddenly felt his eyes lit up:

"Da Yu'er's underwear?"

Out of the instinct of a normal man, Zhu Youjian picked up the cloth bag again, and felt that it was not light. He looked around and found that everyone else was focusing on searching for the jade seal, but no one paid attention to him.

So Zhu Youjian's hand reached into the cloth bag, but he touched a hard thing. He hurriedly took out the thing and saw it, and shouted:

"Damn..."
