etc?

Hearing this, Wu Liang's heart was filled with panic. Could it be that the copper seal the witch called was the "Tai Gong Seal" in his arms?

Many details fit perfectly.

For example, it is the same treasure that Jiang Taigong left to the successive kings of Qi, but it was secretly hidden in Qi Aigong's mausoleum in advance by Qi Aigong's family scrolls. It can also resist some evil spells that harm people's lives, and the words engraved on it are

There is only a three-character difference from the words on the cover of this genealogy.

Having such doubts, Wu Liang asked calmly: "Miss Hu, are there any records about the appearance details of this copper seal in the biographies of your ancestors?"

"I can't tell you the specific appearance details."

Miko Hu shook her head at first, and then added as if she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I remember it was written in the ancestor's ship collection that the words on the copper seal were somewhat different from the words on the cover of this genealogy.

The cover of the genealogy says, "Tai Gong Jiang is here, there are no taboos", and there are only eight words on the copper seal, which seems to be written... "Tai Gong's blessing, there are no taboos." Although I didn't specifically remember this, but I should

Can’t be wrong.”

"..."

This time, not only Wu Liang, but also the backbone of the Hu army next to him looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

You can’t go wrong!

The bronze seal in Wu Liang's arms was exactly what the witch called the bronze seal. At first, through the few words in "History of Qi" and "The Biography of Duke Mu", Wu Liang and others regarded it as a bronze seal that could ward off evil spirits. Now, after the witch called it,

With this explanation, another more powerful function of "Tai Gong Seal" finally emerged.

have to say.

This copper seal can indeed be the greatest guarantee of royal power.

Owning the "Tai Gong Seal" is equivalent to owning the "Life and Death Talisman" in a martial arts in later generations. As long as you use it to make a "Tai Gong Seal" with the courtiers around you, although it does not necessarily guarantee the loyalty of the courtiers, it is enough to make them loyal.

They obeyed and did not dare to have any rebellious intentions, otherwise those rebellious officials and traitors would not end well without taking action themselves.

the most important is.

The "Tai Gong Seal" is actually just a valid official seal, but the content of the "Tai Gong Oath" can be freely formulated according to the owner's wishes, and can be used in all aspects of life.

"I didn't expect Jiang Taigong to leave behind such a powerful magic weapon, and I don't know which lucky person this magic weapon will eventually fall into."

Wu Liang looked at his nose and heart with his eyes, and sighed with a normal expression.

At this moment, he has decided to hide the "Tai Gong Seal". Now he will not talk about the backbone of the Hu army who already know the "Tai Gong Seal". These are the people Wu Liang absolutely trusts, and he is not worried about them leaking the "Tai Gong Seal".

go out.

As for the soldiers of the Hu army and the witch Hu who did not know the existence of the "Tai Gong Seal", naturally there was no need to know.

Because he can completely imagine that once the news spreads that this thing can make a "Thai oath", especially if it reaches the ears of those ambitious people, they will definitely try their best to take it as their own and use it to

It has rapidly expanded its power and is still the most stable power in the world.

At this moment, Wu Liang suddenly understood why the witches called "The Oath of Tai" the key to King Wu of Zhou's success in defeating Zhou.

Just imagine that when King Wu of Zhou issued the "Thai Oath", there were more than 800 uninvited princes on the scene. If all these princes made the "Thai Oath" with King Wu of Zhou, it would be equivalent to overthrowing the power of these more than 800 princes.

He has them all under his command, and he never has to worry about these forces defecting in the face of battle.

The combat effectiveness and loyalty of the army thus formed to defeat Zhou were naturally far superior to those of King Zhou of Shang, which were mainly composed of slaves.

According to historical records, at that time, King Zhou of Shang's army was far ahead of the army that defeated Zhou. The reason for the final defeat was related to the fact that the enemy troops in front of King Zhou of Shang's army defected on the battlefield.

According to common sense, the real mob should actually be the army of King Wu of Zhou who defeated Zhou.

After all, many of his soldiers and horses come from various princes, and they also come from hundreds or thousands of princes from different forces and places. Under normal circumstances, such an alliance army is often like a piece of scattered sand due to the selfishness of various princes, and its combat effectiveness is reduced.

It’s really hard to compliment, let alone share the same goal... Yuan Shao’s Kwantung Allied Forces are a good example. When they attacked Dong Zhuo, they had their own agendas. Dong Zhuo had just been driven to Chang’an, and the Kwantung Allied Forces were already there.

Internal strife began and soon fell apart.

Then when Dong Zhuo was assassinated by Lu Bu, the remaining party members Guo Si, Li Jue and others launched a counterattack and once again took control of the government.

After the news reached Guandong, people were excited, and some local officials, including Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou at the time, had the idea of ​​forming the Guandong Allied Forces again, sending troops to attack Li Jue and Guo Si, and reviving the Han Dynasty.

As a result, "Poison Master" Jia Xu only used a small plan, and this alliance ended before it even started.

This is the biggest problem with the alliance army. People are selfish. One hundred princes will have one hundred selfish motives, and one thousand princes will have one thousand selfish motives. Therefore, there must be many speculators and careerists among them.

, they just hope to fish in troubled waters in the name of coalition forces and crusade, and take the opportunity to strengthen their own power.

And the existence of "Thai Oath".

It can easily cut off the escape route of these speculators and careerists, forcing them to obey the control and orders of the alliance leader and abide by the covenant, so that the alliance can achieve "one heart and one mind" in the true sense.

Therefore, the function of "Tai Gong Seal" must not be publicized.

Leaving aside others, when Boss Cao learns about this, he will shamelessly come to Wu Liang and ask for it. If Wu Liang refuses to give it, Boss Cao may even fall out.

After all, for a person like Boss Cao who is suspicious by nature.

If he can make a "Taiwan Oath" with his subordinates or allies, he will be less suspicious of things and can sleep peacefully at night, not to mention how helpful this thing will be in expanding his power...

"If this bronze seal is still in the hands of some reclusive descendants of the Lu family, it would indeed be an extremely powerful oath."

The witch Hu didn't know what Wu Liang was thinking, so she just expressed her opinion, "But if it falls into the hands of someone who knows nothing about it, this thing will be just an ordinary seal made of copper, or even

Some poor people got this thing, and they might have melted it and used it to make coins to make a living."

It's not impossible.

When Dong Zhuo controlled the government, didn't he melt the twelve-gold figures cast by Qin Shihuang into copper to refine the small Wu Wen coins he issued in order to make money?

Dong Zhuo is an elder who doesn't have to worry about food and drink. He can do such a wasteful and crazy thing, let alone some ordinary people.

What's more, this kind of copper seal is not only of little value in the hands of ordinary people, but also very likely to cause trouble. It is undoubtedly the wisest choice to melt it and make it into circulated coins. In the early Han Dynasty and before,

Coins are allowed to be minted privately by the people. If people get copperware, they can find a blacksmith to melt it and cast it into coins.

"It makes sense."

Wu Liang had a ghost in his heart, so he decided not to dwell on the matter anymore, and instead asked, "So, girl, do you still have the idea of ​​filling in the names of your ancestors in the Lu family tree?"

"there is none left."

The witch shook her head and said, "Thanks to Wu Taishi for reminding me, I already understand the reasons why my ancestors and Jiang Taigong made such a decision at that time. How can I dare to make decisions privately against their wishes now?"

"In this case, I will accept this genealogy."

Wu Liang smiled and saw that the witch Hu seemed to be a little bit dissatisfied with his decision, so he explained, "Putting this thing here has only two consequences, either it will be buried in the ground and gradually corroded by the soil and moisture, turning it into a pile of nothing.

The usefulness of the patina may be discovered by someone unknown when, and its future is uncertain.”

"This is not the result I want to see, and it should not be the result you want to see."

"It's better to teach me how to take it back. If it can be stored in the treasury and properly preserved, it can be regarded as preserving the roots of the descendants of the Lu family who live in seclusion in the world, and maybe it can be kept for a longer time."

"What do you think?"

"..."

After hearing Wu Liang's words, the witch Hu immediately fell into silence. After thinking for a long time, she proposed another idea to Wu Liang, "I am also a descendant of the Lu family. Can Wu Taishi teach me how to bring it back to Japan for collection?"

"no."

Wu Liang simply refused, and then said seriously, "Jiang Taigong is from our country, Jiang's surname Lu is also a bloodline of our country, and Qi State is the territory of our country, so this Lu family genealogy should belong to our country... Hu

Girl, your idea is very dangerous."

The witch Hu knew that Wu Liang was not negotiating with her anymore, so she did not dare to argue with him, so she had to settle for the next best thing and said: "Then Wu Taishi, can you allow me to use cloth to rub the genealogy down, so that my ancestors and I can live in Japan?"

There are also verifiable roots.”

"Well..."

Wu Liang rubbed his chin, looking at the witch Hu with a pair of eyes, and then a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Then we have to see how Miss Hu performs."

"?"

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Hu army suddenly felt ashamed.

Wu Taishi, can you restrain yourself a little? So many people are watching here. Aren't you a little bit ashamed of making such a request so blatantly?

Even if you don't care about us, it doesn't matter.

But Miss Bai and Miss Zhen are not dead either. Okay, can you try to estimate their feelings?

What's more, to put it bluntly, the beauty of Miss Bai and Miss Zhen is not superior to that of the Japanese witch, and which one does not treat you wholeheartedly. Are you so hungry that you would make such a request when you see a young woman?

"..."

Bai Jingjing and Zhen Mi also looked cold. They were affected by the marriage customs of this era, and they were not unable to accept Wu Liang's concubinage.

Especially Zhen Mi, she even hoped that Wu Liang would adopt a few beautiful and virtuous women, so that he could leave more high-quality descendants, so that Wu Liang could have successors and carry forward his legacy.

But in Zhen Mi's eyes, the witch Hu still falls far short of the standard of "beautiful and virtuous".

Especially the bloodline of the witch Hu. She is always the descendant of Lu Yin, and the blood of the Lu family flows in her body. However, it is impossible for Lu Yin to carry on the family line. When Jiang Taigong was exiled from the Japanese country, he must not have brought any women with him, so he must only have

Can reproduce with local women of Japan.

Now it has lasted for more than a thousand years, and the descendants have continued to intermarry with the Japanese people. By the time of Miko Hu's generation, I don't know how many generations it is, and the Lu family blood in her body has naturally become infinitely thin. Instead, the blood of the Japanese people has taken the lead.
