Mandated by Heaven, enjoying eternal prosperity?

These eight characters?O

Where did they come from?

Of course, they were from the Annals of Qin Shi Huang in the Records of the Grand Historian.

In the specific annals about Qin Shi Huang, Sima Qian mentioned the Imperial Jade Seal that had existed back then, which featured eight characters that were proposed by Li Si.

Of course, he did not carve them himself.

Instead, he came up with these characters and had skilled craftsmen engrave them.

The seal’s inscription was evidently the eight characters Li Si had proposed.

“Is… Is this the Imperial Jade Seal?”

Su Meiji’s beautiful, large eyes blinked in bewilderment at that moment.

It was simply unbelievable.

She was well aware of the significance of the Imperial Jade Seal; it was truly extraordinary.

“The Imperial… Jade Seal…’

Li Shishi had already grabbed Luo Feng’s arm.

At that moment, she was speechless. No, she was completely dumbfounded.

“Holy crap! Holy crap!”

“This is the Imperial Jade Seal made from the He Bi!”

“This is Qin Shi Huang’s seal, so it must be his tomb!”

“My goodness! To think that I would actually witness Qin Shi Huang’s Imperial

Jaue Deal vvltn my very own eyes trus nreume’.

“Host, hold the seal steady, please. Don’t let it drop. It’s made of jade; what if a corner breaks off?”

“No problem. Just imitate Wang Mang from back in the day and mend it with gold!”

“Mend a corner? What’s the story behind that?”

“It’s not just a story; it’s a historical event.”

“Speaking of that event, it goes back to when Wang Mang usurped the Han dynasty. In the late Western Han dynasty, Wang Mang, a relative of the Han imperial family, successfully seized control of the empire. To consolidate his power, he had to acquire the Imperial Jade Seal first. Since the deposed

Emperor Liu Ying was young, the seal was kept by his mother, who was also Wang Mang’s aunt. Wang Mang, ashamed of his usurpation, sent someone to retrieve the seal. Furious, the empress dowager threw the seal on the ground, chipping off a corner. Wang Mang then used gold to repair the seal’s damaged area, which led to the term ‘gold-inlaid jade’.”

“Wow! I never knew about that! What a learning experience!”

“Awesome, take a closer look and see if there’s any gold inlay on the seal’s corner!”

“What’s the point of looking? The seal that Han dynasty’s Emperor Liu Bang obtained might not even be Qin Shi Huang’s! Besides, during the 200 years of the Western Han dynasty, it is possible that the seal was stolen, lost, and then the Han emperors crafted their own.”

“Let’s put it this way: the likelihood of the Han dynasty having that particular Imperial Jade Seal is the highest! As for the later dynasties, almost all their emperors crafted their own seals! Do you think that such a treasure would be continuously handed down among emperors of different dynasties? Heh… During times of unrest, it would disappear without a trace. Emperor Qianlong himself once pointed out that the Song dynasty’s Imperial Jade Seal was not Qin Shi Huang’s but one they had crafted themselves.”

“Heh, even the Qing dynasty probably didn’t have Qin Shi Huang’s seal. They were all just deceiving people!”

“Of course they had to deceive! After all, everyone believed that Qin Shi Huang’s seal represented the mandate of heaven and eternal prosperity. It was a symbol of legitimacy, and without the seal, they were considered illegitimate.”

“This item has been elusive for thousands of years, passed through the hands of countless rulers in the land of China. No one has seen it, and no one can tell its authenticity! Whether there really is such a thing only depends on what Sima Qian wrote!”

“Hahaha! Are you all just denying the existence of the Imperial Jade Seal?”

“Of course it exists, but only in a symbolic form. Every founding emperor crafted their own, and that became the Imperial Jade Seal!”

At that moment,

The viewers in the livestream went wild.

Even the experts in the field of archaeology were going crazy.

So much so that even the Forbidden City was affected.

At that moment, in a courtyard of a royal villa in the capital, several old men were waiting outside, hoping to meet an elderly gentleman.

They had come late at night, aiming to inform the old gentleman about the discovery of the Imperial Jade Seal as soon as possible.

Of course, not just within the country, but also globally, everyone was shocked.

Various newspapers were receiving calls to report on the matter.

“President Zhang, you must know about Luo Feng, our Douyin platform’s current hottest streamer, right?”

“What happened to him? Didn’t he go tomb raiding?”

“He has found the Imperial Jade Seal! I think we should heavily promote this event as a traffic-driving medium!”

“The Imperial Jade Seal? It’s really the Imperial Jade Seal? Is it a real or fake one?”

“Regardless of its authenticity the traffic from this event will he enormous!”

“Alright, act quickly and promote Luo Feng extensively. Strive to attract more traffic, and bring more people to our Douyin platform. Encourage them to download our product and watch Luo Feng’s live stream!”

President Zhang was, of course, the president of the livestreaming platform.

At that moment, he made several phone calls in quick succession. They were all to personnel from the publicity department and technical department.

An overwhelming wave of promotion immediately spread through their group’s various channels.

Very soon, the number of people watching Luo Feng’s stream soared.

35 million!

36 million!

40 million!

The online viewership was basically increasing by a million people every few seconds.

It was truly ruthless.

There was no sign of stopping.

The platform had already strengthened its servers, fearing that Luo Feng’s live broadcast would lag the entire platform.

“Mandated by Heaven, enjoying eternal prosperity!”

“Little Luo… Indeed, it’s these eight characters!”

Gu Santong looked at the inscription on the bottom of the seal.

At that moment, the corner of his mouth trembled slightly.

If it had been an ordinary tomb, and an Imperial Jade Seal with these eight characters engraved on it were discovered, Gu Santong would have scoffed and deemed it a fake.
