Chapter 209 The Emperor Is Dead, a New Emperor Should Be Established
King of Jin, Chen Huaian, finally held up the imperial seal he had always dreamed of. He carefully examined every detail of the imperial seal, as if he was appreciating a fine work of art.
The jade seal was square in shape, with a side length of about four or five inches. It was thick and solid, as if it carried the ambitions and vicissitudes of emperors for thousands of years.
In the world before Chen Huaian traveled through time, the imperial seal had long been lost during the change of dynasties. The jade seal used by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to ascend the throne was recast by craftsmen in later generations, which was a great pity.
At this time, what King of Jin, Chen Huaian, held in his hand was the imperial seal that had been cast since the first emperor Ying Zheng unified the six kingdoms;
The jade seal was carved from the peerless treasure He Shi Bi, with a soft luster, like the brightest star in the night sky, shining with mysterious and charming brilliance.
On the seal face, there is a mighty dragon carved. The dragon has a strong body, distinct scales, and bright eyes, as if ready to soar into the sky at any time;
The dragon's body hovers on the seal face, forming a beautiful arc, dividing the seal face into two parts;
The dragon's head is high, with a bright pearl in its mouth, symbolizing the supremacy of imperial power and the prosperity of the country.
On the other part of the seal face, eight vigorous and powerful seal characters are carved on it with extremely fine carving techniques-"Received the mandate from heaven, long life and prosperity!"
Chen Huaian stared at these eight characters intently, and inexplicably felt that the blood in his body began to boil.
Throughout the ages, how many heroes and heroes have spent their entire lives, but have not been able to escape the temptation of these eight characters?
He, King Jin Chen Huaian, is no exception.
Look, look.
Chen Huaian seemed to see the eight characters "Received the mandate from heaven, long life and eternal prosperity", as if endowed with vitality, revealing a solemn, sacred, and inviolable temperament.
At this moment, even without the yellow robe, Chen Huaian still felt the heroic spirit of "All under heaven is the king's land, and all the people are the king's subjects".
After a long time, he calmed down his excitement that was difficult to conceal and re-examined the last details of the imperial seal.
It was at the bottom of the jade seal, on that relatively flat surface, there were intricate and exquisite cloud patterns carved, as if they were really clouds floating in the sky, light and elegant, giving people a sense of lofty and mysterious;
Between the cloud patterns, some small gems were cleverly inlaid, shining in the sunlight, adding a bit of luxury and splendor to the imperial seal.
It is hard to imagine that such an exquisite thing was made by Qin craftsmen thousands of years ago.
Finally, Chen Huaian's evaluation of the imperial seal is that it is not only an exquisite work of art, but also a symbol of imperial power and a witness to history for thousands of years.
Every detail of the imperial seal embodies the efforts and wisdom of ancient craftsmen, and every subtle carving silently tells the majesty and solemnity of imperial power.
Chen Huaian held the imperial seal and looked at it for at least an incense stick of time, while Xiao Po, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, knelt on one knee with his head buried, waiting for an incense stick of time.
It was not until His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin came to his senses that he slowly said to Xiao Po: "Xiao Po, go and bring Emperor Lingwu and Empress Dowager Su up, I want to meet the emperor and the empress dowager in person!"
"I have received your order!"
Xiao Po immediately accepted the order, stood up and dragged his legs that were numb from kneeling, and hurriedly retreated.
Chen Huaian raised the imperial seal in his hand again, and with the sunlight shining in through the cabin window, he looked at it and said to himself: "Now that I have the imperial seal in my hand, how far will it be for me to achieve the goal of unifying the world?"
"I have been walking on thin ice all my life, but I will eventually ascend to the throne of the emperor!"
"At the beginning of the new dynasty, should we call the country Jin or Ming?"
Haha!
Chen Huaian smiled and said, "This is really a happy trouble!"
"Report--"
"Your Highness, the King of Jin, the Empress Dowager Su of the Emperor Lingwu has arrived!"
Just when Chen Huaian was thinking about whether the new dynasty should be called Jin or Ming after unifying the world, Xiao Po's announcement suddenly sounded outside the cabin.
It was he who brought the captured Emperor Lingwu and the Empress Dowager Su up!
Hearing this, Chen Huaian carefully put away the imperial seal and loudly ordered: "Xiao Po, please invite Emperor Lingwu and Queen Mother Su to come in and talk!"
Soon, the distraught Queen Mother Su Wan'er appeared in Chen Huaian's cabin, holding the young Emperor Lingwu Zhao Lingwu in her arms.
This was the first meeting between Chen Huaian and the current Queen Mother Su Wan'er.
At this time, Su Wan'er had long lost the aura of being the Crown Princess, the Queen of the current dynasty, and the Queen Mother. She was just an ordinary mother who wanted to save her child's life.
As soon as the two entered the door, Chen Huaian took the initiative to greet them and said hello: "Your Highness, I am Chen Huaian, the King of Jin. I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Queen Mother!"
Of course, Chen Huaian only bowed to Queen Mother Su Wan'er and did not kneel down like ordinary ministers when meeting the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
He originally inherited the title of the One Word King, and not bowing when entering the court was also one of the privileges of the One Word King, which was reasonable.
Queen Mother Su Wan'er, this was also the first time she met Chen Huaian, the enemy who had caused her family to be "destroyed".
She thought that when she saw the traitor Chen Huaian, she would not be able to control her emotions, and she would kill Chen Huaian as soon as possible.
But when Su Wan'er really met Chen Huaian, she found that she suddenly didn't hate Chen Huaian so much.
In her heart, she felt a little grateful.
Grateful to Chen Huaian for letting her end this life of wandering and being manipulated by others.
The engagement between Su Wan'er and Zhao Gan, the second emperor of Daxin, was originally the product of a political marriage.
As the daughter of a wealthy merchant family in a wealthy place in Jiangnan, Su Wan'er had no scheming and political skills. Even if she ascended to the throne of queen as the crown princess, she was just Zhao Gan's mascot in the court most of the time.
Even after Zhao Gan's death, Su Wan'er became the empress dowager of the Daxin Dynasty because of her son's status, and had the qualifications to rule behind the curtain, but she still could not get rid of her puppet status at the mercy of others.
How could she, a little white in the court, be the opponent of Qin Ruhui, the treacherous prime minister who had been in power for more than 30 years?
Until she was driven out of the capital and lived a life of wandering with Emperor Lingwu, Su Wan'er was still a mascot at the mercy of Fang Tianyao, the king of the four seas.
During the time when she was taken to the treasure ship "Miewohao" by Xiao Po and controlled, Su Wan'er also figured it out.
Even if she returned to Jinling with General Wu Sanjia last night, she still couldn't get rid of the life of being manipulated by others, but the person who manipulated her changed from Qin Ruhui in the past to Fang Tianyao in the later period, and then to Wu Sanjia!
Therefore, being captured by Jin Wang Chen Huaian may be the best ending for her and her son Zhao Lingwu.
When she thought of this, Su Wan'er smiled sadly: "Your Highness Jin Wang, tell me, how are you going to deal with the emperor and I?"
Hmm?
Hearing this, Chen Huaian frowned slightly and said with a puzzled look: "Aren't Emperor Lingwu and Empress Dowager Su dead?"
"Died on the day when the Longcheng Jingnan Army broke through the Daxin Navy Camp, they committed suicide by jumping into the river!"
