Chapter 978
People speak Mandarin so well, they must know the above characters.

A quick glance at the history of the thing shows Chen Wenzhe that it is a real imperial decree, measuring 130 centimeters long and 65 centimeters wide.

Since he had done his homework a long time ago, Chen Wenzhe knew that this was an imperial edict.

The documents issued by the ancient emperors to issue orders to the world, grant officials, give orders to foreign vassals, and deal with military and state affairs are collectively referred to as imperial edicts, which are commonly known as imperial edicts among the people.

Since the institutions and functions of drafting and proclaiming the decree are different, there are many names, such as imperial edict, edict, edict, imperial edict, gold list, book, book, talisman, call to arms, etc.

Imperial edicts and edicts are extremely important imperial edict documents.

In the ancient times of South Vietnam, the internal emperor system was implemented, and this imperial decree system was also learned exactly the same.

This imperial decree of Nanyue inherited the form of Huaxia, all in Chinese, the difference is that the size is wider and shorter than the domestic ones, the texture is made of paper, and the double sides are painted with gold and silver powder to draw exquisite dragons, clouds and auspicious patterns.

On the back, there are China's Qinglong, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, but the white tiger is changed into a unicorn.

The national seal and jade seal on the imperial decree were all bestowed by the Chinese emperor as the "treasure of imperial command".

The introduction of Buddhism in South Vietnam is also reflected in the imperial edicts, and the respect for gods is revealed between the lines of each imperial edict.

In the ancient dynasties of South Vietnam, all important national events or grand ceremonies, such as the emperor's enthronement, wedding, pro-government, Bintian, acceptance of the great unification, reform, constitutional establishment, major catastrophe, etc., must be issued by the emperor and announced to the world.

The drafting of the imperial edict has a certain format. The first sentence must be "inheriting the heaven and prosperity, and the emperor made the day", the ending sentence is "announcing the world, and the salty envoys will hear about it", and the middle part describes the content of the edict to the world.

The materials of this imperial decree are very exquisite. They are all brocade fabrics made of high-quality silk, and the patterns are mostly auspicious clouds and magnificent.

There is also a flying silver dragon on the imperial decree as an anti-counterfeiting symbol.

As a document order issued by the emperors of the past dynasties, as well as an edict or edict issued by conferring meritorious officials or conferring titles, the richer the color of the edict, the higher the official rank of the official receiving the conferment.

The length of the imperial decree has not been strictly regulated in the past dynasties: the long one can reach 500 centimeters, the short one is about 200 centimeters, and the width is generally about 33 centimeters, with the emperor's seal printed on it.

Taking a closer look at the content, Chen Wenzhe found that it seemed to be an imperial edict used by the emperor of South Vietnam to confer concubines.

The beginning is the emperor Ruoyue, and the ending is also right. This is definitely not an ordinary thing.

It is a pity that this is not the imperial decree of the domestic emperor to bestow the puppet king of South Vietnam, otherwise it would be interesting.

"This one is indeed an imperial decree, I will give you [-] million!"

After seeing something, Chen Wenzhe directly bid, and he didn't play tricks, he directly bid [-] RMB!
This is the agreed upon price, as long as the item is right, no matter the size, it will cost [-] yuan per copy, otherwise it really wouldn't attract people to automatically deliver it to their door.

The value of imperial decree also depends on who issued it and the content recorded in it.

This is obviously not very important, after all, it is only an edict to confer the concubine, if it is conferred the concubine, the value is even higher.

The visitor also knew the value of the things he brought, and also knew that Chen Wenzhe would offer a high price, so after hearing that there were [-] ​​million dong, they were also full of surprises.

Both parties are happy, and the transaction will naturally go smoothly.

It's just that Chen Wenzhe's luck seems to have not run out this time.

After he paid [-] million South Vietnamese dong to the other party, the other party turned around and took a bag, and took out a lot of folders from it.

Seeing this situation, Chen Wenzhe was taken aback for a moment, could he also encounter the situation where treasures are gathered together?You know, this is not thirty years ago.

"My family's imperial decree was not sold back then, and we naturally won't sell it now. We received this imperial decree later, and we also received so many memorials along with it!"

Chen Wenzhe suddenly realized that it was so.

No wonder the Wanwan guy didn't buy it back then, but he asked a little bit and got a positive answer.

It turned out that the family didn't even think about selling the family heirloom, but later also did business in this line of business.

Now that you know that the imperial decree is valuable, it is normal for a local to buy this thing for a long time and gain something after the family conditions are better.

Besides, there seem to be quite a few of these things in this country.

Chen Wenzhe has not been idle for a while. Although he has not received many treasures, he has a thorough understanding of some relevant information.

On the other side, there was a tea farmer who did business in South Vietnam in the early days. By chance, he bought a batch of precious modern historical relics such as memorials and imperial edicts of the Ming and Qing emperors written in traditional Chinese characters that were left behind by the people.

After the tea farmer privately invited experts to identify it, he determined that it was a priceless "national treasure".

Recently, Nanyue Hannan Research Institute tried to buy back through channels, but failed to achieve its goal.

I have to say that it is really easy to gain a little bit when you are born at the right time.

Take this tea farmer for example. When he went to Nanyue to sell frozen top oolong tea more than ten years ago, he accidentally bought something at a second-hand book stand. How could he think that it was a national treasure of Nanyue?
Just once, he bought two Qing Dynasty "Memorials" in Chinese.

Later, with the help of his friends, he successively collected and bought more than [-] imperial edicts, edicts, edicts, edicts and other large and small edicts of the emperor, as well as fifty-four memorials.

All these things were brought back by him for collection.

Due to the busy recording of tea affairs, he only recently commissioned historical experts to appraise them, and the experts confirmed that these items are "authentic".

Before Nanyue was invaded by the French army, it was a subordinate state in the history of China. During this period, the imperial edicts issued by the thirteen emperors were all recorded in Chinese.

After the Vietnam War, they were exiled among the people, and the Vietnamese people were economically impoverished, and they had no knowledge or feeling for Chinese, so they didn't know how to cherish it and sold it off.

Chen Wenzhe paid [-] yuan for an imperial decree just now, which is the price he paid for the imperial decree back then.

That tea farmer spent about tens of millions of yuan to buy these ancient cultural relics.

The average cost is only [-] to [-] yuan. After all, [-] to [-] pieces cost tens of millions of yuan.

However, the [-] million in those days is incomparable to the present. If inflation is added, the price of these imperial edicts is definitely not high.

It's just that if everything is calculated at [-] yuan, the South Vietnamese will make a lot of money.

Looking at these folding pages, there is Zhu Zhu inside, this must be a memorial.

In addition to the imperial decree, the emperor is Zhu Zhu, and these Zhu Zhu are the opinions of the emperor in reply to the minister's memorial.

Memorial is a document for senior officials to report affairs to the emperor. Nanyue imitated the emperor system of Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the early days, it only gave certain ministers the right to secret memorial, and after approval by Emperor Zhu, it was returned to the memorial.

Later, the emperor expanded the scope of use of memorials and established a return system, that is, all memorials approved by the emperor were returned to the palace for storage, and ministers were not allowed to keep them privately.

After the establishment of the Confidential Academy, all memorials approved by Emperor Zhu must first be submitted to the Confidential Academy, and the copy will be kept for inspection, which is called "Memorial Record Vice".
