There is no such thing as the Kangxi and Qianlong eras

Chapter 2 High-quality Imitation Imperial Seal
Rebellion is not a dinner party!

Two stainless steel kitchen knives and pots and pans certainly couldn't help Nie Yu turn the situation around.

But he already had an idea. He simply put on his clothes and patted the bulge on his waist. This was the key to his confidence for the next step.

"Someone is coming!"

"Master!"

A little maid came in immediately.

"Where's my dad? Take me to see him right now!"

Nie Yu quickly got into the role, put on his usual domineering attitude, and gave orders with a wave of his hand.

Upon hearing this, the maid hurriedly led the way.

Nie Yu followed the other party and quickly walked towards the main courtyard of the Nie family's old house.

It is called a house, but it is not very big. After all, he is a rich landlord in the countryside. Although he is known as the richest man in the village, he is still far behind those real powerful and wealthy families.

After turning a few corridors, Nie Yu arrived at a lobby that looked very familiar to him. It seemed that his father, Nie Jieren, had just returned from entertaining guests.

"Huh? Yu'er, why are you here?"

Nie Jieren noticed that his beloved son, who had come over at some point, had a slightly relaxed expression on his face, but he also seemed to have a headache.

Although he doted on his only son, it was still a real headache. It would have been fine if he just didn't like studying, but he often caused trouble for him on a daily basis. So when he saw his son coming over on his own initiative this time, Nie Jieren subconsciously thought that he had gotten into trouble again.

"All of you go out first. Yu'er, come with your father to the study."

Nie Jieren didn't listen to what Nie Yu said. He simply waved his hand to disperse the maids and servants, and went to the study in the inner house with only Butler Liu.

Nie Yu was also very frank and walked in with his head held high.

Enter the study.

The father and son stared at each other for a long time before Nie Jieren couldn't help but speak with a little hesitation.

"Yu'er, do you know why your father asked you to come to the study this time?"

Huh? Why didn't you ask yourself what trouble you got into first?

Nie Yu was a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down and spoke very directly.

"If you have something to say, just say it! There's no need to keep me in suspense."

Nie Jieren was choked and decided to give up, and then asked the next question.

"Yu'er, do you know what the White Lotus Sect is?"

"Yeah, I know. It's a folk cult that keeps rebelling while shouting 'Vacuum Homeland, Birthless Mother'!"

When Nie Jieren heard his son directly label the White Lotus Sect as a cult, he did not react much, because according to the Qing court's propaganda, the White Lotus Sect was a cult organization that deliberately instigated civil unrest and rebellion.

Just last year, the Qing government captured Liu Zhixie, the nominal leader of the White Lotus Sect, but I heard that he managed to escape not long ago.

Of course, these are not important.

Nie Jieren said with a serious face, looking at Nie Yu who was a little nonchalant.

"You are right. Now I will tell you that I have converted to the White Lotus Sect along with your uncle Zhang."

"Oh!"

"Oh?"

Nie Jieren was stunned. What's your reaction?
It would be fine if Nie Yu was surprised, but why is his reaction so calm?

This is the famous White Lotus Sect, whose mission is to rebel!

Well! It wasn't completely dull, because soon Nie Yu asked, "Dad, when are you and Uncle Zhang planning to rebel?"

"On the tenth day of March next year..."

"That means there's still more than half a year left... No, according to the timeline, it should be exposed earlier, so it won't be half a year, it'll be just a few months..."

Nie Yu muttered softly, but Nie Jieren reacted quickly. Looking at his son who suddenly seemed a little strange, he scolded him for some unknown reason.

"You daring monster! I am Nie Jieren, the leader of the White Lotus Holy Sect. Get off my son immediately!"

"???"

Lao Deng, why are you giving out such magical money? Do you really think you are a charlatan?

Although he thought so, Nie Yu did not explain much, but quickly took out a box from his arms.

To be precise, it was a "brocade box". Its exquisite and gorgeous appearance, especially the golden dragon pattern engraved on the surface, instantly attracted Nie Jieren's attention.

"This is……"

"Open it and see for yourself."

Nie Yu held the box in both hands and handed it over solemnly.

Nie Jieren didn't understand why, but he subconsciously took the box with both hands. He felt that it was heavy, and it must be quite heavy. He didn't know what was inside.

Open the box...

next second.

Nie Yu, who had been watching for a long time, reached out in time, caught the box, and took out the "thing" in the box.

No, that is not a "thing", but a "jade seal"!
Nie Jieren was completely confused. Not only him, but even the housekeeper Liu, who had been listening to the conversation between the father and son silently, was so shocked that he almost wanted to pop his eyes out.

Nie Yu then said slowly, "I have been given the mandate by Heaven, and I wish you a long and prosperous life!"

Nie Jieren didn't know how he took over the "Jade Seal". Anyway, when he came to his senses, he had this thing in his hand. It was heavy and the craftsmanship was obviously real. It was incredibly exquisite.

Isn’t it exquisite!
This is a 100% modern product, a high-quality imitation of the "Imperial Seal" prop, which cost Nie Yuxiao more than 2,000 yuan to get.

In order to make it realistic enough, real jade is used, and the quality is quite good among ordinary jades.

Originally, this thing was an antique. It was when Nie Yu had just graduated and started working and had no pressure that he was bored, so he spent a huge amount of money to buy a simulated "jade seal" to play with and show off.

I didn’t expect it would come in handy now!
It is true that the "Jade Seal" is fake, but it has been imitated with modern technology and has almost no flaws, and the material is real jade.

It even fills in the missing corners of the "Jade Seal" with gold and jade inlays, and uses the Han seal font for the inscriptions. With such attention to details, even if this high-imitation "Jade Seal" is placed in front of Emperor Qianlong, it would probably be difficult to tell the difference between the real and the fake.

Not to mention Nie Jieren, who had never seen the real "Imperial Seal", and the White Lotus Sect members who were also deceived and brainwashed and were penniless.

If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life!
This is something no man can refuse.

A long time passed...

Nie Jieren came back to his senses and felt the heaviness on his hand. He seemed to be still in a dream. He had not completely lost his mind yet and asked with a trembling voice.

"Yu'er, this thing... this imperial seal, where did you get it from? Is it the same as the one in the emperor's hands... or is it a fake?"

"I don't know. I just had a dream last night. I dreamed of an old man in flowing white clothes. He insisted that our Nie family would produce an emperor. He forced me to look at a brocade box. Then when I woke up, I saw the jade seal lying inside..."

Nie Yu was just talking nonsense. It didn't matter whether people believed it or not. He just wanted to scare his own father.

Nie Jieren was really frightened. Since he had converted to the White Lotus Sect, it was naturally impossible for him to say that he did not believe in gods.

What's more, this "Jade Seal" feels heavy in my hand and it must be real!

"Is it true that my Nie family is going to produce an emperor?"
