One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 119 Tang Ji's Entrustment

Inside the wooden box, lay a square of pure white jade quietly.

The jade seal is made of materials that look very moist, like ointment, glass, or opaque crystal.On the top of the jade seal, there are five abstract dragons carved.The dragon tails are placed in five directions, the dragon heads are gathered in the middle, and the dragon whiskers are intertwined with each other.

"Captain Qin, please show me the jade seal," Tang Ji said.Although her tone was very flat, Qin Yi could tell that at this moment, she was trying her best to suppress her anxiety.

Qin Yi carefully took out the jade seal with both hands, and took a closer look at it himself.

The jade seal is all in one color, without any blemishes.Only the four corners of the lower plane are inlaid with gold, and the inlaid gold is carved into hollow patterns, which is very artistic.

It really is gold inlaid with jade!Qin Yi secretly sighed.Qin Yi knew about the allusion that the four corners of the Chuan Guo Yuxi were inlaid with gold.

According to legend, after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he ordered people to carve the jade seal out of He's jade obtained from Zhao.After the Han Dynasty destroyed the Qin Dynasty, this jade seal fell into the hands of Liu Bang, who passed it down from generation to generation as a national jade seal for twelve generations.At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the two-year-old Ru Ziying came to the throne and hid the jade seal in Changle Palace.

When Wang Mang usurped power, Wang Mang wanted to coerce Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan to hand over the jade seal.The queen mother refused, and in a rage took out the jade seal and threw it on the ground, dropping a corner of it.Seeing that the jade seal was damaged, Wang Mang sighed repeatedly, and hurriedly recruited a skilled craftsman to repair it. The craftsman was also clever, and came up with a strange trick of inlaying missing corners with gold. ".

Now, Qin Yi is holding this imperial jade seal, and he is extremely excited.Turn the jade seal over again, and see eight big characters in seal script underneath.

Although Qin Yi didn't know seal characters, he also knew that the eight characters engraved on the jade seal must be "Ordered by the heavens, life will last forever."

After taking a quick look at the imperial seal, Qin Yi handed it over to Princess Tang.

Tang Ji took the jade seal with both hands, looked at it over and over, nodded and said, "That's right, this is it."

After finishing speaking, she put the jade seal back into the wooden box, and locked the wooden box with her own hands.

Qin Yi watched Yuxi being locked up, feeling a little disappointed.I haven't had a good look yet, it's locked!
"Captain Qin, please return the key to me." Tang Ji said.

"Oh!" Qin Yi returned the key to Tang Ji.

Tang Ji put away the key and suddenly said: "Colonel Qin, how about you keep this thing for now?"

What?Did I hear you right?
Qin Yi was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, then he asked Tang Ji: "What does the concubine mean by this? This is the imperial jade seal, why did you entrust it to me for safekeeping? It doesn't make sense because of emotion and reason." ah!"

Tang Ji hesitated for a while before saying: "Captain Qin, do you know where Yuan Shao is at the moment?"

"Yuan Shao? Didn't he come to Luoyang?" Qin Yi was even more confused, talking about Yuxi, why did he suddenly refer to Yuan Shao?

"Yes, Yuan Shao has already come to Luoyang." Tang Ji nodded, "But at the moment, he is at Cai Zhonglang's house to visit His Highness."

"Oh, it turns out that the princess and His Royal Highness have been living in Cai Zhonglang's residence!"

"Yes, the palace was severely damaged, so I and Your Highness had to temporarily stay at Cai Zhonglang's residence." Tang Ji explained briefly, and then continued to follow her train of thought: "Yuan Shao called on His Highness today, and proposed to support His Highness to restore..."

Just as Qin Yi wanted to interrupt, Tang Ji waved her hand and said, "Lieutenant Qin, don't interrupt, just listen to me."

"Oh!" Qin Yi smiled awkwardly.

Tang Ji continued: "Yuan Shao wants to support His Highness to restore the throne, and His Highness is naturally happy, but Yuan Shao also has a proposal. He said that Luoyang is no longer inhabited, and he proposed to move the capital to Yecheng, Hebei."

"Move the capital?" Qin Yi frowned, "It seems that Yecheng is under Han Fu's rule now?"

"Yes, Yecheng belongs to Jizhou, and the current Jizhou shepherd is Han Fu." Tang Ji nodded and said, "Han Fu is cowardly by nature. Although he is the state shepherd, he obeys Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao wants His Highness moved the capital to Yecheng, and His Highness has no foundation in Yecheng, Yuan Shao's move probably has a lot of meaning!"

Qin Yi pondered: Originally, in history, Yuan Shao forced Han Fu to give up the position of Jizhou Shepherd to him.Now, he wants Liu Bian to move his capital to Yecheng, obviously he has no good intentions.

"Princess, are you worried that Yuan Shao learned from Dong Zhuo and made His Highness empty?" Qin Yi asked tentatively.

Tang Ji lowered her voice, and said: "Yuan Shao was born in the Yuan family in Runan, the fourth generation and the third son of the Yuan family, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. The power is so powerful that even Dong Zhuo is afraid of it. Yuan Shao is also the leader of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and now supports His Highness." After the Restoration, he settled in the position of Chief Assistant Minister. Your Highness is young and has no assertiveness. If Yuan Shao has ambitions, he will inevitably learn from Dong Zhuo."

"So, the princess wants Qin to continue to keep the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. If one day, Yuan Shao really becomes the second Dong Zhuo, the princess wants Qin to use the jade seal to ascend the heights and gather all heroes to attack Yuan Shao?"

At this moment, Qin Yi's heart was pounding.He not only admired Tang Ji's foresight, but also could not bear Tang Ji's great trust, and was a little worried that history was out of control.

Tang Ji was silent for a while, and then said coyly: "Captain Qin, maybe I'm overthinking. However, my concubine and His Highness have suffered a series of misfortunes, and I have to think of the bad first when things happen. Now, the only person I can trust People, and only you, Captain Qin."

After a short pause, she continued: "I overheard the conversation between Yuan Shao and His Highness, and after thinking about it, I always felt that Yuan Shao's intentions were sinister, so I secretly ran out to see you. I hope you can agree to my request!"

Qin Yi thought for a while, and asked: "Princess, Qin is very grateful that you can trust Qin so much. However, the Jade Seal of Chuanguo is not an ordinary thing after all, and it may be inappropriate for Qin to carry this thing with him."

Tang Ji smiled slightly: "Lieutenant Qin, don't worry, the whereabouts of Chuanguo Yuxi are only known to you, me and Chan'er. If Yuan Shao can treat His Highness loyally in the future, Captain Qin can return the jade seal. But if Yuan Shao really has bad intentions, when the time comes, I hope Captain Qin can save His Highness from the fire and water."

Qin Yi continued to hesitate.Tang Ji came to him suddenly, revealed such important information to him, and entrusted him with such an important matter. In a short period of time, he couldn't digest so much information at all. How could he make a decision?

At this moment, Diao Chan outside the carriage said: "Captain Qin, you are a big man, why are you so indecisive? What the princess gave you is a treasure. In today's world, there are countless people who covet this thing but cannot get it. You Fortunately, I don’t want the things delivered to my door!”

Hearing Diao Chan's words, Qin Yi couldn't laugh or cry.Chuan Guo Yuxi is indeed a treasure, but it is also the source of trouble, how do you, a little girl, know this!

But I thought about it again, anyway, the tasks issued by the system to me are all propositions. If you have too much debt, you don’t have to worry about it. Isn’t it just a jade seal? I just take it.

"Okay, I agree." Qin Yi finally nodded.
