The crown prince called himself the Son of Heaven, the supreme ruler under the feudal system, and they often used things that ordinary people could not look up to, such as dragon robes, dragon crowns, and so on. As a symbol and display of the rights of ancient emperors, only the emperor can use it, and there are three aspects of grade differentiation, one is a jade shaft, the second is a black rhino horn shaft, the third product is a gold shaft, and the fourth or fifth product is a black bull horn shaft.
In the television, we can often see the falsification of the Holy Will, and in history, Zhao Gao and Li Si only pushed Hu Hai to the throne by forging the Holy Will. So has the Holy Will really been forged in history?
Before talking about this matter, let's first look at why Zhao Gao and Li Si were able to forge the Holy Will. Li Si and Zhao Gao did not fake the Holy Will, because at that time, because the Holy Will they used was originally true, but the content inside was forged, so li Si and Zhao Gao's statement that forged the Holy Will was wrong to a certain extent. So in ancient times, was there really no one who forged the Holy Will in order to achieve his own ends? The answer is yes, because even in modern times, the Holy Will is not so easy to forge.
First of all, unlike the holy will in tv, the ancient holy will is divided into various grades, each grade knows the material is different, and these silk cloth satins are all royal tributes, ordinary people can't get it, as for those jade shafts, black rhino horn shafts are used by the emperor.
Secondly, the promulgation procedures of the ancient holy will were complicated, and the promulgation of a holy will required more than a dozen process reviews before it could be announced. Moreover, in the process of review, they all need to be stamped, so it is difficult to collect these seals alone, unless they are in the case of Li Si and Zhao Gao who hold great power.
The third and most important point is the unique anti-counterfeiting mark of the Holy Will, there are two flying silver dragons at both ends of the Holy Will as anti-counterfeiting marks, and the silk cloth satin is full of auspicious clouds, which are faintly visible, and few people can imitate this alone.
After the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang improved the two words "Fengtian" in the original anti-counterfeiting process of the Holy Will. These two words change according to the pattern of Xiangyun, the position is not fixed, and the details inside can only be known by the embroidery workers, so each holy will is different. To sum up, the reason why the ancients did not forge the Holy Will is not that they did not want to, but that it was impossible to forge it at all.
