Chapter 0378: The Emperor's Six Seals

What a Shunchang rebel. "The Empress Dowager trembled slightly with her hand and turned pale." This person seemed loyal, but he didn't want to be someone like Wang Mang. The mourning family is really blind

Wang Mang

Ye Qing chuckled secretly. At this moment, only he knew that Cao Cao had been loyal before, and the true transformation in history was when the alliance against Dong was at odds with their hearts and morals. It was only when Cao Cao failed to save Luoyang and secretly knew that the Han dynasty was hopeless that the seeds began to sprout. However, by this time, Cao Cao had unfortunately died prematurely, leaving only an empty shell.

How could the governor have any reverence or fear towards the Han dynasty?

Even Yu Fan from Jiangdong is thriving, reportedly infiltrating Changsha County in Jingnan, while only he has just established himself in Yuzhou

Starting from scratch is not easy, and it is only now in the second to last round that we are standing on the same starting line.

Where does this situation lead to a way out?

Xuande, I have made up my mind to appoint you as the governor of Yuzhou! "The empress dowager sneered with gritted teeth. She had carefully considered the surrounding lords and realized that there was no other way out. In other words, there was no better choice than the man in front of her. Choosing a foreign surname was impossible, and no family would respect her as empress dowager.

Only considering within our own clan, but who is more suitable than Liu Bei in the clan?

And since she brought it here, she has already lost the opportunity to choose. The only thing left is to strive for kindness. Thinking about this, without hesitation, she ordered the princess, "Bring the package back

The innocent princess remained silent at this moment, pursed her lips, and retrieved the package.

Reaching onto the package, the Empress Dowager glanced at Ye Qing before reaching out to open it.

Just as they opened it, everyone's eyes froze.

First was a stack of blank edicts, that's all, and there were six seals, all made of jade with dragon and tiger buttons, measuring one inch and five minutes in size and one inch in height.

The most peculiar thing is that all six jade seals have a hint of purple aura. At first glance, it appears faint, but in the blink of an eye, it condenses into a strong purple cloud, and then turns into six internal ultraviolet red dragons circling around. The air in the carriage is heavy.

The six imperial seals of the emperor? "Ye Qing's gaze narrowed, showing a solemn expression. When the young emperor passed away, the imperial seals must have been in the hands of the empress dowager, and they were all brought out.

The Empress Dowager held a red purple jade seal and saw a broken phoenix on top, slowly absorbing some and recovering some. Seeing this, Ye Qing couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager placed six seals on several tables and flipped them over one by one, revealing each character.

The difference between the six imperial seals of the emperor lies only in the inscriptions, which are:

Emperor's Seal - Used for conferring titles (on feudal lords, kings, and officials);

The Emperor's Seal - bestowed upon princes and kings for use in writing

Emperor's Seal - Used for Sending Troops

Emperor's Seal - Recruiting Ministers for Use

The Emperor's Seal - Used for Foreign Affairs

Emperor's Seal - Serving Heaven, Earth, Demons, and Gods

It's like this... A light flashed through Ye Qing's heart, if she had any understanding.

Emperors throughout history have attached great importance to the production and use of imperial seals, and historically, the number of imperial seals varies from dynasty to dynasty.

Wan Li Ye Huo Bian ": The Qin emperor had six imperial seals, which were inherited by the Han dynasty. During the Tang dynasty, there were eight treasures, which were followed by the Song dynasty. At the beginning of this dynasty, there were seventeen treasures, and at the beginning of the reign, Emperor Shizong added seven. Today, there are a total of twenty-four people in charge of the Fu Tai.

There were twenty-four imperial seals in the Ming Dynasty, which was much more than the previous dynasty.

But overall, Ye Qing thinks there are only two types, three seals are enough.

The emperor is the system, which corresponds to the internal of the empire, in other words, the head of state. Therefore, the three imperial seals of the emperor correspond to enfeoffment, vassals, and soldiers.

The emperor is a Taoist, corresponding to heaven and ghosts and gods - acting on behalf of heaven, recruiting system, feudal system, and enfeoffment system.

The system and the tradition are different, just like the difference between the imperial court and the heavenly court. In fact, if we narrow it down to the limit, one is the emperor's seal, representing the imperial court, and the other is the emperor's seal, representing divine power. With the imperial jade seal, the three seals are complete. "Ye Qing suddenly realized and narrowed his eyes no longer to look closely.

I have applied several times to the Empress Dowager for the position of Governor of Yuzhou. If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's obstruction, I would have achieved my goal long ago. He was not surprised by this appointment, nor did he humbly refuse. He just bowed and said, "I am willing to take on this important task

The Empress Dowager has actually been paying attention to Liu Bei all along... When she escaped from the palace, she carried something with her. She must have been exposed long ago, and no one has come to forcefully take the six imperial seals of the emperor. This is just a way of expressing her opinion.

I could understand the meaning myself, but I always felt a bit scared until I met Ye Qing face to face and just glanced at her, then closed my eyes and didn't look. My heart was filled with a chill, an indescribable emotion, and a hint of relief.

The emperor's six seals are all here, yet he can still be so calm. His human nature is truly terrifying, but for the Han dynasty and the world, I have not chosen the wrong person

Moreover, from this attitude, I still have some value

The empress dowager thought like this, and took out a seal from her bosom, which was exactly the same as the six seals of the emperor. The white jade dragon tiger button, turned over, was "the seal of the queen"

This is like the six imperial seals of the emperor, which have been passed down through generations and are not exclusive to any particular empress. This one was passed down from Empress Lv in the past.

Ye Qing glanced at it with some confusion in her heart - this one was originally in the hands of the new empress, who was the 'Tang Fei'. This woman was not killed, but was guarding the tomb of the young emperor. No matter how strange it is, the empress dowager's seal was carried by her side. It is estimated that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very bad

The Empress Dowager could not guess Ye Qing's thoughts, and only touched the imperial seal, her gaze somewhat dazed.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager muttered to herself, "Which one should the mourning family use to issue an edict

Everything is up to the Empress Dowager, I cannot speak recklessly, "Ye Qing said calmly.

The Empress Dowager stared at Ye Qing for a long time, made up her mind, and opened the blank edict to write.

She was familiar with this matter and immediately issued a new decree appointing the Governor of Yuzhou in front of Ye Qing.

Glancing at the Chixiao Sword on Ye Qing's waist, after careful consideration, he added another sentence and stamped it with the emperor's seal.

As soon as the seal fell off, Ye Qing was in a daze.

Originally, there was a turbulent flow of qi and fortune in Yuzhou. Although I controlled it myself, there was always a hint of exaggeration. At this moment, a dragon's roar passed by, and the entire qi and fortune in Yuzhou gradually unified and belonged to me.

At almost the same time, a torrent of qi and current came from Jingzhou in the south, only half of Yuzhou.

This is

The empress dowager turned the imperial edict over several tables and saw that the governor of Jingzhou was following closely behind the governor of Yuzhou

Leading two state pastors in succession!

Liu Shijun, how about it? "The Empress Dowager even changed her address.

Ye Qing immediately bowed and said, "I thank the Empress Dowager for her kindness

When thanking the emperor. "The empress dowager did not avoid this worship, but she still reminded him that this decree was a testament from the young emperor.

At this moment, Ye Qing looked northwest and bowed again, paying tribute to the late Young Emperor.

After saying thank you, there was another lingering dragon aura... Ye Qingming realized that this was a subtle reaction recognized by the Liu family's dragon veins

The Empress Dowager sighed slightly and said, "The mourning family originally wanted to worship the Grand General again

Empress Dowager is not allowed! "Ye Qing quickly declined and admitted," At this time, Yuzhou is already under the control of the officials. It is legitimate and no one dares to disobey this decree

There is no one in Jingzhou to the south. I have been ordered to send someone to occupy it

And the Grand General cannot be awarded unless he has made great achievements. How can I accept it in vain if I have not yet eliminated the rebellious generation

Having two states has already made the people of the world envious. If you lead the general again, wouldn't it be a siege from all sides?

Even if we don't consider this, the position of the general is still unknown!

The Grand General is the highest military position below the emperor, ranking higher than the Three Excellencies. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, he has been held by relatives, including Liang Ji, who was killed by Emperor Huan, Dou Wu, who committed suicide after being defeated, and He Jin, who had just died. Later, Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes, initially as the Grand General, and later gave the position of Grand General to Yuan Shao

Luoyang has not completely collapsed yet, and the Eastern Han royal family still uses a child whom Dong Zhuo found somewhere as a facade. The dragon energy has not dissipated, and the grievances of the people have not dissipated. Two hundred years of achievements and demerits are uncertain. At this time, ascending to the position of Grand General is like blocking disasters for the Eastern Han Dynasty?

Ye Qing has a certain understanding of luck and feels that she is not yet such an idiot.

At the end of the day, the sudden rise is not a good thing. Not only can we not get any luck, but we also need to fill it in, especially now that there is only one empty sign left in the Han dynasty.

Being able to immediately obtain a small fortune in Jingzhou is not only due to the legitimacy of the Han dynasty, but also due to the influence of the infiltration of Jingbei in the past two years.

Specially selecting this Jingzhou governor for appointment, the Empress Dowager showed her intelligence and noticed this infiltration. She was sad that she was just a woman, unable to truly control the system, and had no reliable power - her husband, brother, son, none of whom were reliable, so her life was almost at risk, and now she had to rely on herself.

Seeing Ye Qing's firm gaze, the Empress Dowager thought for a moment, put down the jade seal in her hand, and slowly pushed the table in front of Ye Qing. She hugged her daughter tightly in her arms and looked deeply at Ye Qing, saying, "You are a member of the Han royal family, and the mourning family is an unfortunate person. As an orphan daughter and mother, I will rely entirely on you from now on

Qianqian tasted this flavor and looked at her husband. After a moment of contemplation, she pushed back the jade seal and said, "In the future, I will ask the Empress Dowager to issue a decree to make decisions, just like today

The Empress Dowager felt a sense of relief in her heart when she saw his resolute expression, and then felt a cold sweat behind her back.

The mourning family is exhausted, and Liu Shijun is in charge of military and political affairs. Please go down! "Said the Empress Dowager in the end.

Ye Qing responded, "Yes

After speaking, he bowed again and slowly walked out.

The personal soldiers were stationed not far away, and when Ye Qing came out, they stepped forward to follow.

Ye Qing looked up at the gray sky, with the sun behind the dark clouds. Ye Qing walked steadily for a long time before sighing.

With this imperial decree, we can see that the Red Dragon has further transformed and taken on a dragon like appearance.

At this point, it was not yet time to declare himself king, but the Grand Tutor could prepare.

The legitimacy of the Han dynasty was undermined by Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian, and may not have much authority over the warlords, but it still had a great influence on the local people. In just two years, the county governors of the two states dared not resist.

The situation in Jingzhou is complicated now. Ye Qing in Jingbei has hidden hands, while Jingnan is involved in the game of Yu Xisun Jian's power, which is difficult to decide for the time being.

Yuzhou will soon come together.

Yuxi is an old base camp that cultivated the idea of "assisting the Han dynasty and pacifying chaotic times" for two years. At this time, when the Empress Dowager arrived, she was immediately as solid as gold soup

Perhaps welcoming the emperor is more solid, but what is solid is not oneself.

When the Empress Dowager arrived in Yuzhou, the ground people who had recently defected to Cao Cao were an exception, but the county governors and officials dared not refuse the Empress Dowager's escort - there were still large armies behind her.

After enduring for two years, it's time to turn the defense against Cao Cao into an attack, "Ye Qing thought to herself. She had never launched a large-scale counterattack on Yanzhou, just to maintain the legitimacy of the Han dynasty - now she had great righteousness in hand and was invincible.

Qianqian looked at Ye Qing, wanting to say something several times, but then fell silent.

Ye Qing looked back and asked, "Qianqian

Ah... nothing, I just want to, on the side of the Empress Dowager... Hmm, won't we publish a petition against Dong Congwen

Ye Qing didn't believe this, it was a bit funny, just smiled and said, "Are you talking about the jade seal? The six seals of the emperor are only legitimate in the hands of the emperor, or the empress dowager is also acceptable

The Empress Dowager's use of this seal is beyond doubt, even if it is a pretext. If I seize it, I will immediately become a traitor. Although the Governor General has no intention of being loyal to the Han Dynasty, he has been in power for more than ten years and will immediately seize this excuse to call for siege. Perhaps he will be attacking Liu Zhongwen

And the Empress Dowager knows that we cannot rush at this time. She will only integrate the two states... at least one and a half states. Jingbei and Southwest Henan are connected by the Jianghan Plain, and together they can stabilize the eastern part of Henan and then have no worries about attacking Dong Zhuo

Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little embarrassed. She became serious and asked, "Oh, is it still possible at the right time

This time point is almost up, half a month, at most half a month... Just when we sent troops to rescue Tao Qian in Xuzhou, we launched a campaign against Dong Congwen! Let's see if Cao Cao will withdraw his troops or not

Ye Qing transmitted the message and chuckled inwardly, "Didn't the Governor always collude with Dong Zhuo to create a dilemma for me? Now that I have great righteousness in hand, I am creating momentum and forcing him to either join us in attacking Dong or be taken advantage of by the warlords to attack Cao

Whether to stop or not, it's all ugly. There are traps waiting, exposing the face of this fake Cao in one fell swoop, disappointing the heavens, the masses, the heroes, and the people - the way to gather people will never be achieved again.

At the end of the day, the victory or defeat of the road depends on strength. There are only three thousand people on the ground, how do they compare to the 60 million Han people?

The people on earth are still a minority in these three kingdoms. Before creating the mandate of heaven, they must use the situation as a pretext. Dong Zhuo killed the young emperor and the governor assassinated the emperor, which indeed created a situation of the collapse of the Han dynasty.

Successfully rescuing the Empress Dowager broke through this situation, and the road opened up. The next step is to rely on strength for confrontation.
