C245 Xiao Wens Conspiracy (2/2)

Therefore, there was no need to talk about borrowing. In fact, Xiao Wen could have openly taken Dong Zhuo's belongings and never returned them.

Looking at Xiao Wen, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but ask, ”What do you want to borrow?”

Xiao Wen said, ”I need to borrow Sir Dong's official seal.”

Official seal?

The so-called official seal was actually the seal used by officials.

Official seals have their own characteristics and rich cultural connotation in different periods of history.

The feudal dynasty of China consisted of the central and local government. Official seals include the emperor's Imperial Jade Seal, imperial treasure, official seals at all levels of court, seals of local administration, seals of officials and officials of institutions at all levels, seals of officers and officials of military institutions, seals of lower level institutions, seals of the separation of dukedom, seals of the minority nationalities and of the peasant uprising.

In addition to the jade used by the Son of Heaven, the official seals of the Qin Dynasty were of copper quality and were mostly chiseled in white script.

This format, so that the small type box in the square box through the reduction, displacement, shift and other means processing, into a more strict ”imprinting”, changed the long face of the small seal, so with the form of the seal unified, it appears smooth, smooth, smooth, straight and powerful. This kind of Han ”imprint seal” in the early form, quite natural, quite ancient.

Like the ancient seals of the pre-Qin period, Han Dynasty was a seal worn on the body to identify the people.

Its content includes the official seal, private stamp and Ji-language motto and so on?

The contents of the official seal and the private seal are generally the official or personal name of the time, which acts as a token and proof in social intercourse.

The auspicious words are usually written in auspicious language. The content of the words is to pray that you will be able to rise to the rank of an official and make a fortune, or to pray that you will be able to live a long and healthy life.

There are also some inscriptions with motto and admonition.

In other words, if Xiao Wen borrowed Dong Zhuo's official seal and then printed the document, it would be tantamount to Dong Zhuo admitting that he released the document.

Many of the organizations in the Han Empire also did not care about who printed it.

After all, in a country where the strong were revered, if you couldn't even protect your own official seal, what right did you have to be an official?

Even if it was for his own reputation, Dong Zhuo had to admit that this was his seal.

Looking at Xiao Wen, Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and said, ”I was still thinking about how you would blackmail me.” He didn't expect it to be this way. It seems that I still underestimated you. ”Brat, good move!”

”My brain is better than yours. I only have the ability to play around with you idiots.” At the same time, the sword in his hand also pressed down on Dong Zhuo's neck.

A light wound appeared on Dong Zhuo's neck.

”Hiss!” A cold and painful feeling appeared on his neck, making Dong Zhuo suck in a breath of cold air.

He said, ”Don't be impulsive, I'll give it to you.”

With that, he took out his official seal.

Xiao Wen took the official stamp and passed it to Uncle Li and Sun Shangxiang for inspection.

After confirming that it was the real thing, Xiao Wen took out a few paper documents.

He handed the document to Zhuge Liang and said, ”Xiao Liang, help me seal the document.”

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang froze for a moment. However, he quickly ran to Xiao Wen's side.

He took Xiao Wen's document and read the contents.

These were standard referral applications, as long as the corresponding name was filled in the blank space at the end and the basic information about the person was written on the back.

After that, he would fill in the corresponding official position and seal it. That would be a complete letter of recommendation.

Zhuge Liang didn't know what Xiao Wen was planning to do with these letters.

”But no matter what, Teacher Xiao won this battle.” Zhuge Liang thought for a while, then he stamped Dong Zhuo's official seal on the document.
