The most famous jade-rich place in history is Hotan, Xinjiang, located in Furuwada, which is a real "Jade City". This kingdom of Khotan lasted for 1200 years, which outlived many Central Plains dynasties, and it was considered a big force in the western regions. Since Zhang Qian opened up its territory, Khotan began to pay tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty.
Even when the Anshi Rebellion broke out in the Tang Dynasty, a king of Khotan Kingdom personally led troops to help the mainland from the western regions not far from Wan Li. He is Wei Chisheng mentioned above. The glory of the king's new hero, as the eldest prince of Yucheng, should succeed to the throne as king, but he doesn't covet the throne himself, and he is a degenerate all day to hide his eyes and ears and protect his younger brother Sheng.
As the eldest son in history, Wei Chisheng inherited the throne very early, and he also has a younger brother named Wei Chiyao. In the Central Plains Rebellion, Wei Chisheng personally led the troops in the Central Plains, and Wei Chiyao was ordered to represent the National Government. Later, Wei Chisheng took the initiative to stay in Chang 'an and passed the throne to his younger brother. The younger brother personally wrote a letter requesting to give way to his nephew, leaving a story of two brothers giving up the throne to each other.
In contrast, the eldest prince, who was also born in Yucheng, has no nostalgia for the throne. The historical prototype of the new hero is Wei Chi's victory.
Role background
Legend has it that there have been many different city-states in the vast sea of clouds and deserts in history, but few people have survived numerous chaos and disputes. Yucheng is one of them, and it is prosperous because of the prosperity of jade trade. The eldest son of Yucheng is a household name in this splendid city-state.
First, because of his extravagance and the status of the big prince, and second, because of his "inaction". Being a king and a hero is not his wish, but only one thing is certain, that is, his "rich and idle people" approach and his love for jade.
Pursuing beautiful jade is the consensus of Yucheng people. It is no exception for Yucheng's eldest prince, who has been called "the son of Lingyu" since childhood and has the ability to control the breath of Lingyu. He often sends jade artisans to collect jade everywhere, carving out various "masterpieces" with exquisite jade, or giving them to others as gifts, and enjoys it.
In the mouth of Yucheng people, he is a handsome son who spends money like water and is charming; In the eyes of ministers, he is a carefree prince; In his younger brother's heart, why his brother, who grew up together and has outstanding ability, has become such an idle figure today, which has always puzzled him. For sheng, his brother is the one who makes him love and hate.
