Three Kingdoms

Holiday Festival, also known as Zhijie.

"This is probably how I developed into a Jiedushi envoy in the future..."

Fei Qian looked at the scepter delivered to Yulin Camp, feeling somewhat emotional in his heart. Although there was no promotion, it was equivalent to adding the title of Honorary Ninth Minister, and then adding the holiday. Basically, the actual job remained the same, but the level was half a level higher than all the county governors.

But what do you say about this scepter from the Han Dynasty...

Fei Qian held the staff in his hand and turned it upside down, then waved it gently in the air a few times. He felt that such a staff was made of extremely ordinary yellow bamboo.

Although the texture of this yellow bamboo seems to be good, the outer wall is full and round, and the knots made of triple yak tails are also a bit heavy, but such a bamboo is probably less than 1.8 meters, and with this dyed There are three colors of blue, red and black tails...

Fei Qian touched the staff up and down, and even pulled open the yak's tail and looked at it carefully. He found that he didn't know whether the people in the Han Dynasty had the awareness to imitate the thing, or whether it was of no use to imitate it. This so-called symbol represents the emperor. The scepter that is part of the power has such a simple structure and does not even have any anti-counterfeiting settings.

After all, the Jiaozi issued in my jurisdiction also have three thin lines of different colors in the middle of the paper to prevent counterfeiting. In fact, it is very simple to say, that is, when the paper is made, it is precipitated once, and then the thin threads are glued on, and then it is sunk into the fiber pool of the paper for a second sedimentation, and when it is picked up again, it is added The three-color thin line is sandwiched in the middle of the paper.

Of course, it is claimed that it is sewn in, hahaha. Those who want to fake it must not be able to figure out how thin the needle and thread must be used to achieve such an effect.

Therefore, this imperial scepter...

If I could find some bamboo and tie some ox tails on it, could I use it as a role?

There is no engraving on the scepter, saying who the scepter is for. If it is stolen along the way, who knows who it belongs to. This really has no technical content at all...

Originally, in the Han Dynasty, there was not much difference between the four grades of Jiejie, Zhijie, Jijie, and Jiejie Yue. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to capture the prince, because the prince also owned Jie, he deliberately changed the color of the staff to show that he had Jie. the difference.

Perhaps because there have been many such situations, it gradually changed into two levels, one is the false festival, and the other is the false festival. The current positions of Jijie, Chijie, and Shichijie are not much different, but Jijie and Shichijie are much more formal than Jijie, a bit like the relationship between the principal position and the deputy position in charge of work in later generations. The difference is that although the job responsibilities, salary and benefits are basically the same, and they are also called bosses, there is a slight difference in the establishment.

The Jiejie Yue is relatively at the highest level. After all, the Jiejie Yue or the Jijie Yue only has one staff, while the Jiejie Yue has an additional yellow axe. Therefore, the Jiejie Yue is generally only awarded to important ministers. .

Of course, things like this festival axe seem to be very glorious and have great majesty, but in fact, well, how should I put it, they actually don’t have much effect anymore...

Slightly better than nothing.

That's pretty much it.

Because whether it is a festival or a yue, the source of its power is not the festival or yue itself, but the imperial power. People holding festivals or yue represent the emperor doing something, but if they meet someone who does not agree with the emperor's power, it will have no effect.

Just like Su Wu back then, all the yak hair on his staff was bald, and he didn't get much compliance from the Chanyu at that time. For those who originally respect the imperial power very much, those who hold a yue or a yue are often important officials of the court. Even if there is no scepter and a yellow yue, they will still be respected. Therefore, this scepter is the same as the yellow yue. Yue is more of a kind of honor, and it is not very helpful to the actual situation...

After thinking about this clearly, Fei Qian naturally lost his initial excitement about getting this scepter, and instead started to look at the silver turtle button seal of "Zhijinwu".

Fei Qian took out the silver seal of his original Protector of the Hungarian Zhonglang. Although the style was the same, both were silver-seal turtle buttons, the seal of Zhijinwu was obviously larger...

Zhi Jinwu was originally a lieutenant in the Western Han Dynasty. He had great power and was responsible for patrolling, prohibiting riots, and inspections in the capital. He controlled the northern army and the guards who guarded the palace in charge of the southern army. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established eight captains, all of whom were lieutenants. Moreover, the earliest military leader of the third auxiliary was also a lieutenant. Later, a lieutenant who could be a lieutenant was added to divide some of the powers of the lieutenant.

Later, because his authority was too heavy, the capital was divided again, and he was renamed Zhijinwu. He was no longer assigned any subordinate officials and became an honorary title.

It seems that Lu Bu also has such a seal of Jinwu?

This Zhijinwu is really... rampant...

Well, after all, it’s an extra piece of silver.

But why did these people in the Han Dynasty like to carve a turtle on the gold and silver seals?

this……

There really isn't a clear explanation.

Anyway, it has been used in this way since Liu Bang's time. Maybe Liu Bang thought that the long life of the turtle was quite auspicious?

It has been in use ever since, and only seal ribbons of more than a thousand stones can use turtle buttons. Otherwise, there is only a nose button, which is half a ring inlaid on the seal ribbon, like half a large bull nose ring.

While Fei Qian was thinking wildly, an orderly soldier ran over from outside the tent and reported loudly: "Report to the Master! The two captains, Ma and Zhao, have arrived fifty miles away. They are here to report!"

oh?

Ma Yue and Zhao Yun are back?

Does this mean that things are going quite smoothly for Humphrey?

That's good.

Fei Qian smiled and placed the seal ribbon on the table. Now that Yuvluo has arrived at the royal court, he can start his next plan here...

"Blow the drums, order the troops, and march five miles out of the camp to meet us!"

Fei Qian stood up and ordered.

Of course, Fei Qian could also choose to do nothing and let Ma Yue and Zhao Yun come to pay homage after they arrive.

Even though they have walked an extra five miles now, it will give Ma Yue, Zhao Yun and others a completely different feeling than sitting and waiting in the tent.

In terms of etiquette, Fei Qian is never ambiguous. Otherwise, if you want others to work hard for you, and your nostrils are raised to the sky, will this make people feel comfortable? Will anyone give sincerely?

Just a few steps out of the big tent, Fei Qian saw the tricolor flags flying above his camp. He suddenly felt something weird. He couldn't help but stop and think about it, and suddenly looked back at the flags placed in the big tent. The inner scepter...

this……

This color is really just a coincidence...

It's really just a coincidence... There are so many things going on recently... Damn it, I don't even have time to sit down and write... The author is going crazy...
