There is something in the world called the "National Jade Seal", which is the "Secret of the Emperor" ordered by Emperor Qin Shihuang to engrave after unifying China. It is a seal passed down by emperors of all dynasties after the Qin Dynasty.

In the late Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang led his army to Bashang, Xianyang. Prince Ziying surrendered and presented the imperial seal to Liu Bang.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped power and ordered his younger brother Wang Shun, the Marquis of Anyang, to force Wang Zhengjun to hand over the jade seal. Wang Zhengjun cried and scolded and threw the jade seal to the ground, and threw a corner of it. Later, Wang Mang ordered people to use gold to make up for the missing corner, which is the famous gold-inlaid jade.

When the regime established by Wang Mang collapsed, the imperial seal was on Wang Mang's body. The rioters grabbed the imperial seal and presented it to Liu Xuan, the Emperor Gengshi supported by the Green Forest Uprising Army.

Liu Xuan was later defeated by the Red Eyebrow Army, and the imperial seal became the jade seal of Liu Benzi, the little emperor supported by the Red Eyebrow Army.

Liu Penzi later failed and surrendered to Liu Xiu, who established the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Since then, the imperial seal has become the jade seal of the Han Dynasty again.

Since Liu Xiu, the imperial seal has been circulated in the hands of emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. When He Jin, Yuan Shao and others armed and killed the Ten Generals, the eunuchs fled in a hurry with the Han Shao Emperor, and had no time to take away the jade seal. After the bloody suppression and pacification, they checked the treasures in the palace and found that the jade seal was missing!

More than ten years later, the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and Luoyang was once again caused a bloody disaster. Dong Zhuo was defeated and fled westward and set fire to the Luoyang palace. When Sun Jian's troops, who first broke into Luoyang, were fighting fire, salvaged a palace maid's body from Zhengongjing, south of Luoyang City. Under the neck of the palace maid, the jade seal of the country was hanging.

The official history says that Yuan Shao ordered someone to rob Sun Jian's wife and force Sun Jian to hand over the jade seal; Romance of the Three Kingdoms says that Sun Jian returned to Changsha with the jade seal, and was intercepted and killed by Liu Biao with Yuan Shao on the road. Later, the jade seal fell into Yuan Shu's hands. No matter what, whether it was Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, they were eventually defeated by Cao Cao, who was under the banner of the Han Dynasty, and the imperial seal returned to Emperor Xian of Han.

In 220 AD, Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate himself and established Cao Wei. The imperial seal was naturally extended to become a symbol of imperial power of Cao Wei. Cao Pi added to his paintings and sent someone to carve the official characters "The Great Wei received the imperial seal of Han" on the shoulders of the imperial seal.

The Three Kingdoms were unified in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the jade seal was passed on to the Jin Dynasty.

During the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, dynasties changed frequently and were in turmoil. The imperial seal began the most violent displaced. In short, after a long circle, the imperial seal returned to the hands of the Jin Dynasty.

However, during this period, in the fourth year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Shi Le destroyed the Former Zhao and seized the jade seal. He also added a few steps to the right to engrave the "Shi Shi Family of Destiny" on the right, which means that being an emperor is the destiny of destiny.

The jade seal of the kingdom was passed down from generation to generation by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Southern Song Dynasty, Southern Qi and Southern Liang Dynasty.

When we arrived in Nanliang, the Hou Jing Rebellion broke out. Hou Jing raised an army in Shouyang to rebel against Liang, and finally captured the capital and obtained the imperial seal.

After many twists and turns, the Sui and Tang dynasties were firmly in the hands of the royal family and were named the country's treasure, without any legend.

After Zhu Wen usurped the throne at the end of the Tang Dynasty, history entered the chaotic period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The jade seal of the kingdom encountered troubled times again and misfortunes arose.

By the end of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Congke climbed to Xuanwu Tower with his imperial seal in his arms and set himself on fire.

Since then, the whereabouts of the imperial seal have been unknown.

Until the third year of Shaosheng in the Song Zhezong, there was a man named Duan Yi in Xianyang. He claimed that when he was repairing the house, he dug out from the ground "green as blue, warm and lush", and the jade seal with "the five plates of dragons and buttons on the back" was the long-lost jade seal, dedicated to the court.

The court attached great importance to it and sent thirteen officials including Hanlin scholar Cai Jing and other 13 officials to carefully examine it and determined that this was a "true Qin Dynasty seal".

The whole thing was very grand and sensational. But no one knows whether this jade seal of the country was really the number one treasure made by Qin Shihuang with Heshi Bi.

Now, this unknown imperial seal is in Li Yan's hands.

Take out the imperial seal from the pastry box and look at it for a while. Li Yan swallowed his saliva and asked Chen Liqing: "Is this what you took out of the palace?"

While inserting the long sword into his waist, Chen Liqing said, "Is there something next to him?"

Li Yan said: "Do you know what this is?"

Chen Liqing stroked the long sword around her waist and said, "If I don't know, can I bring it out without bringing it, and hide it with a pastry box?"

Li Yan couldn't help but say, "Since you know what it is, why do you give it to me?"

Chen Liqing turned her head aside and said, "I want it to be useless, I just use it to repay you with favors."

Li Yan said speechlessly: "Can a sword compare with it?"

Chen Liqing said: "In my eyes, you can... do you know what kind of sword this is?"

Li Yan asked: "What sword?"

Chen Liqing replied: "Mo Xie."

Li Yan said in surprise: "What did you say?"

Chen Liqing said: "I said the sword in my hand is Mo Ye, and the sword in your waist is likely to be Gan Jiang."

Li Yan disbelief: "How is that possible!"

Chen Liqing pointed to the two ancient seal characters on the hilt of the long sword on her waist and said, "Look, it says, Mo Xie."

Li Yan doesn’t know ancient seal characters, so how could he know if these two words are “Mo Ye”?

Li Yan untied the long sword on his waist, then pointed to the two ancient seal characters on the hilt of the sword and asked Chen Liqing: "Are these two words 'Gan Jiang'?"

Chen Liqing leaned over and looked at it for a while, and said, "Yes."

Li Yan looked at the Mo Ye sword on Chen Liqing's waist for a while, then looked at the Gan Jiang sword in his hand, and said, "Are these two really the Gan Jiang sword and the Mo Ye sword created by Gan Jiang?"

Chen Liqing was not sure, "It may also be imitated by later generations."

Li Yan felt that this was possible. After all, people have been doing imitating famous swords from ancient times to the present.

But then again, even if these two swords are imitated, they are definitely the best swords. Otherwise, Zhao Ji, a king of a country who likes literature and hates martial arts, would not have kept them in the study.

Li Yan stroked Gan Jiangjian and said intimately: "It's a pity that I can't let you show your might in a short period of time!" - Once outsiders know the details of these two swords, the fact that the imperial seal fell into Li Yan's hands may be leaked. If this matter is leaked, then Li Yan will not think about developing with peace of mind.

Li Yan discussed with Chen Liqing: "Liqing... Can you avoid using your Moye Sword?"

Chen Liqing said: "Why not?"

Li Yan explained in truth: "Once someone recognizes it as the Moye Sword thrown by the palace, others will know that you took the imperial seal. In that case, we will face the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army and are about to be destroyed."

Chen Liqing thought for a while and said, "I wrap the hilt of the sword around me, who knew that the sword in my hand was the Mo Xie sword lost by the Zhao Guan family?"

After hearing what Chen Liqing said, Li Yan felt that it was, "There are so many swords in the world. I can't see the ancient seal characters on the hilt of the sword. Who can associate these two swords with the Gan Jiang sword and the Mo Ye sword? At most, I will try not to use the Gan Jiang sword. Then there will be only one Mo Ye female sword. Who knows what kind of sword it is?"
