Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 395: The weapon of the country
Credentials, surrender?
Chanyuan Alliance, Jingkang Change?
Lu Benzhi suddenly grabbed the walkie-talkie: "Ding'an, who wrote the credential?"

"Prime Minister Kou Zhun!"

No need to guess, it must have been forced.

Then he pinched his nose, probably still holding back his nausea, and helped Zhenzong write a 200-meter-long Huiluan stele in praise of his virtues...

"Where's the letter of surrender?"

"Still the Prime Minister, Zhang Bangchang!"

This 10,000% is voluntary, maybe he took the initiative to propose it to the Jin Dynasty...

"How many seals are there on the letter of surrender?"

"Two parties: the emperor's treasure of destiny, the emperor's divine treasure!"

This is the imperial seal of the Song Dynasty: it was carved by Zhou Taizu Guo Wei when he ascended the throne and passed to Chai Rong. After Chai Rong died, only the orphans and widows were left... After many twists and turns, they finally fell into the hands of Zhao Kuangyin... and the world of Da Zhou!

Maybe Li Ding'an thought that it could be covered anywhere, even on toilet paper, so why did it have to be covered here?
Lu Benzhi's expression was stiff, his eyes were like two knives, staring at the box.

He has seen many national treasures, even more than He Anbang has ever seen.

Because the Forbidden City has more treasure-level cultural relics than the National Museum.

Not only because of the quantity, category, and grade, but also because of the historical origin and the imperial city.

But I have never seen the certificate of credence and surrender.

The only "Four Imperial Edicts of Xunqing" that had any relevance was snatched away by the National Museum of China.

But when was that?

Republic of China, Puyi.

When are these two letters from, the Song Dynasty!

Even when compared in terms of national development, historical changes, etc., the influence of the two is one in the sky and the other underground.

The Alliance of Chanyuan, the shame of Jingkang... If the Song Dynasty was a little stronger, national history would be rewritten.

Of course, there are no what-ifs in history, let alone assumptions. Lu Benzhi just imagined it for comfort.

But he couldn't figure out how such a thing could appear in such a place?
After being stunned for a long time, he sighed again: He understood why Li Ding'an looked like that.

Once, everyone talked about Chongzhen because of a piece of blue and white porcelain. Li Dingan said this: Just because he did not surrender his power and humiliate the country, did not make a petition to surrender, but resolutely hanged himself on Meishan, he should He was praised for his "national integrity" and admired by future generations.

Otherwise, a similar surrender list will survive in the Forbidden City: the Ming Dynasty surrender list.

But no, so from Qin to Qing, this is the only surrender list of the Central Plains dynasty dedicated to foreigners.

Therefore, when Li Dingan saw this thing, he felt very aggrieved...

At a young age, you are still an angry young man?

Lu Benzhi shook his head with emotion...

A group of technicians were stunned, like statues.

Like wooden stakes, they stood around Li Ding'an.

I am shocked and surprised, and I may feel the same way, but from afar, my heart is like a wave, and I can't control my excitement.

I have always said that the significance of cultural relics is to witness history and remember history, but to be honest, I have never felt very deeply about it.

But this time, they felt it...

Zuo Peng was dumbfounded, moving his steps mechanically, walking forward step by step.

It's like the glass doesn't exist, just stretch out your feet.

Wang Yongqian quickly pulled him with his eyes and hands, and his head hit him just two centimeters away.

He stared blankly at the silk book: "Certificate of credence, surrender... Chanyuan Alliance, Jingkang Incident?"

Li Ding'an shouted so loudly, how could he not hear it?
Of course he heard it, he just felt incredible.

If it is just one of them, it may not be easy to compare. What if there are two letters?

The ax in Qinglong Mountain is a token passed down from generation to generation by the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, but compared with the two items inside, it is really not that interesting.

The remaining two pieces may not be half as big as the statue of Queen Mother Xiao...

Not to mention the remaining bronze plows, let alone the formation heart: the one that may be the most valuable and meaningful has not been dug yet?

The more he thought about it, the worse his mood became, and Zuo Peng also knew that his mentality was wrong.

As Li Ding'an said: only by win-win cooperation can we become bigger and stronger...

But just can’t control it?
Look, which one is not a national treasure, which one is not a precious cultural relic that witnesses history and remembers history, but almost missed it and was buried underground forever.

Yes, the Ximeng Cultural Relics Department and even the Forbidden City will definitely gradually restore the ancient city, but no matter how much it is restored, it will not be possible to restore it below four meters above the surface, because the deepest foundation is only two meters deep.

So, thank you, Teacher Li...

Seeing him in despair, Wang Yongqian also sighed.

I still remember that when I first met Li Ding'an, I was young, ignorant, a little confused, and a little naive.

He has almost all the qualities that young people should have.

But gradually, or perhaps unconsciously or subtly, my perception has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Now look at it again: where is the youthfulness and where is the simplicity?
Fight when you should fight for it, be slippery when you should be slippery, give in when you want to give in, and when you should persevere, never take a step back or waver.

Everyone said that he was stubborn. He said it himself, Lao He said it, Director Cheng said it, and Ministry of Lin also said it.

But what about this time?

I had advised him that the so-called Feng Shui site might only be the one in Qinglong Mountain, and if he couldn't find it, forget it.

He Anbang and Ma Xianming also called him to persuade him: It doesn't matter if you get into trouble, but you can't make something out of nothing?

Both Yu Yu and Director Su advised him, and Dean Lu also advised him after he came: The Yuan Dynasty existed for such a short period of time, and the Yuan Dynasty might have perished before the warlocks who led the dragon had time to set up a large formation...

As well as Deputy Director Yan and the three leaders of Ximeng, they even held several meetings together in Tongliao, and the two district leaders who had dinner at the same table several times also called:
If you can't find the Feng Shui ruins, you can't find them, let alone the ancient city. We are very, very grateful to Teacher Li.

The implication is: Teacher Li, don’t embarrass yourself...

But he didn't listen to anyone's advice.

The results of it?
Come on, are you going to say that he is stubborn?

Could it be said that he created something out of nothing?
So, how can there be anything unconscious, and how can there be anything subtle?
This kid has always been like this, even before the two of them knew each other. It was all his own illusion.

It's as good as ever...no, getting better and better.

Suddenly, Wang Yongqian saw that Li Ding'an asked the technician to put the credentials, surrender form, and photos of Shijuan on the screen outside.

The reflected light was very strong, and Li Ding'an's face was particularly bright...

……

When they saw the pictures on the screen, the leaders were also stunned.

credentials?

There are many records about this thing in history books: the establishment of diplomatic relations, envoys, disputes, protests, denunciations, conquests, and even peace negotiations.

But it only stops at the records. For the rest, let alone the actual objects, future generations will not even know what is written in the general content of the credential.

Because the people who wrote the history books have never seen it.

How many letters have been circulated?

The answer is zero.

Now, the first letter of credence in history, dictated by the emperor, written by the prime minister, and stamped with the national treasure seal by the emperor himself, appeared.

And it is extremely clear and unmistakable in front of everyone's eyes.

Records were broken.

But compared with it, rarity and rarity have become secondary.

The Alliance of Chanyuan, from the Qin to the Qing Dynasty, how many major events in history have this kind of influence on the course of the times and the direction of history?

Just a hypothesis, not easy to compare, but definitely not much. The problem is that there are no records of other events and no cultural relics that have been witnessed?

Then this one is extremely precious.

Of course, if it was just a letter of credence, the leaders would be excited and could still control themselves, but when they saw the delegation lowered, they could no longer remain calm and collected.

There are only twenty-four dynasties in China's recorded history. To put it bluntly, there are only twenty-four dynasties at most that are qualified to be called the surrender of the country.

How many are there actually?
There were only two letters before: Soochow and Shuhan.

Now there is one more.

If the Three Kingdoms period was based on Cao and Wei, then Soochow and Shu Han cannot be counted. Then there is only this letter...

The reason why cultural relics are precious is that they are the carrier of history, carrying the process of civilization development, the continuation of the national spirit, and important witnesses of historical changes.

But what is more important than the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, and the destruction of the mountains and rivers?

should not.

At least there is no incident more criticized than the Jingkang Incident.

"Yongle Dadian": The changes in Jingkang were extremely shameful.

……

When they saw the photo on the screen, there was an uproar from the people behind.

They thought it was three imperial edicts.

Then, the photo gradually enlarged, and the handwriting gradually became clearer, and you could even see that because of the passage of time, the ink became lighter and the strokes were slightly out of shape.

Then, the sound became smaller and smaller...

In the past, every time cultural relics were unearthed, it was like entering a vegetable market, buzzing and noisy.

But this time, it fell into silence inexplicably and strangely.

I was stunned, speechless, and felt numbness in my back.

The certificate of credence, the surrender, written by the prime minister, and sealed by the emperor.

Anyone who has graduated from junior high school does not know about the Chanyuan Alliance and the shame of Jingkang?
Are you making a big fuss?

Then there was another thrill, and I felt like my hair was standing on end.

Yes, most of them are laymen, they are just transferred from various departments and take turns to come to the scene to observe and learn.

But it does not prevent them from knowing how to compare:

Although Dean Lu was also surprised by the three items before, he was definitely not staring at them like this, motionless and lost in thought.

When the statue of Empress Dowager Xiao was unearthed, Director Zuo Pengzuo was still relatively calm, because there was one in Qinglong Mountain of the same level. After the bronze plow was unearthed, although he was excited, it only lasted a few seconds.

But what about this time?

He was lying on the glass like an oversized gecko, and he had been lying there for ten full minutes.

Don't move, he didn't even blink.

And the researchers and technicians in the laboratory: What kind of cultural relics and national treasures have they not seen?

But all of them looked shocked...

Therefore, even if they understand it based on the antique knowledge they think they lack: these two pieces are countless times more valuable than the emperor's imperial edict.

There are many imperial edicts, and they have been issued in every dynasty and every generation.

Letter of credence and surrender, just these two things...

The intercom rang again at an inappropriate time: "Teacher Li, Mr. Li, the pillars in the nave have been moved. The box this time is the largest and also particularly heavy!"

Li Ding'an woke up from a dream.

Yes, one more thing?
It's also ridiculous. Are you feeling miserable here?
"Dig directly, lift it over, pay attention to safety!"

Li Ding'an didn't even bother to ask how big the box was. He took off his gloves and left the anaerobic chamber.

There was silence in the hall, and dozens of eyes followed him slowly, as if they were real.

Li Ding'an has long been used to it.

The two official officers and Director Yan rushed to greet him: "Teacher Li, thank you for your hard work..."

He shook his hands vigorously and kept saying thank you. Li Ding'an nodded his head every now and then...

After being polite for a while, he let go of Li Ding'an's hand.

Wang Yongqian wanted to laugh when he saw him: "Aren't you feeling aggrieved?"

"What's the use of holding back?" Li Ding'an gritted his teeth, "Anyway, don't let me touch the tomb of that thief monk, otherwise all the bones and dregs will be burned to ashes..."

"Who is it, Yang Lian Zhenjia? No...he recruited you?"

"No move!"

Otherwise, what else can be done?
I can only vent my anger on this thief monk...

Wang Yongqian held back his laughter: "Guess, what will it be this time?"

"do not know!"

"Just letting you guess... Director Cheng said it is very large and heavy. Could it be a heavy weapon?"

Li Ding'an said "ha".

Who told you that the bigger and heavier it is, the more valuable it is?

Han Xi is only as big as a pigeon egg. How much do you think it weighs?
"The center belongs to the earth, and it is controlled by objects... Maybe Yang Lianzhenjia will get a confession table (offering table) in the emperor's mausoleum, or a tomb-suppressing beast... Don't doubt it, as a feng shui instrument for the main town, Both of these are more than enough!”

In an instant, Wang Yongqian couldn't laugh anymore.

How old is the tomb beast?
There are ones weighing more than ten tons...don't they mean they are big and heavy?
He was stunned for a long time: "Can't it be Yuan (the emperor's desk) and a piece of gentian (the emperor's gavel)?"

"It's not impossible!" Li Ding'an nodded, "But no emperor can guarantee it!"

Wang Yongqian was immediately discouraged.

In normal times, no matter which dynasty it is from, as long as one of these two items comes out, it will definitely shock everyone.

But when placed here, it’s really not that impressive, maybe not even as good as Song Huizong’s belt.

It’s not just Wang Yongqian. Looking back: I was so excited just now that I wanted to shout twice, but now my expression is like eating a rope...

Girl, it took a lot of effort to eat two meals of meat, but then I was given another meal of steamed buns?
Would you say it’s uncomfortable or not?
Suspiciously, the mound was hoisted in. It was indeed quite big: more than five meters high and about three meters in diameter.

It's really heavy too.

When the statue of Empress Dowager Xiao was hoisted in, it was also a large mound, but the crane's big arm never swayed so much, and the wooden boards on the exterior did not make a "crack" sound from being strangled.

A group of people watched Dun being hoisted into the inner warehouse without blinking.

The technician quickly removed the burial and revealed a wooden box nearly three meters high and about two meters in diameter.

Is this too big?

Wang Yongqian was very disappointed: "Is it really the tomb beast?"

Li Ding'an said nothing, looked at it a few times with his chin raised, and sighed.

I really can’t say for sure.

But there is at least one thing: the bigger and heavier the cultural relics are, the more valuable they are.

After a second thought, he picked up the mask again.

"I'll go in and take a look!"

"I am coming too……"

As soon as Lu Benzhi raised his buttocks, he was pushed back by Li Ding'an: "When the basic treatment is completed and the cabin can reach normal temperature and normal oxygen, you can come in again!"

I'm getting older and it's an anaerobic chamber, so it's better to be cautious...

Immediately, Li Dingan entered the inner cabin.

This time the wooden boxes were nailed very thickly, as if they were stacked several layers high, so they had to put up scaffolding.

It took a while...

With the last layer left, a board was pried open, revealing a hole in the box.

Li Dingan squinted and took a look:
No...what the hell...

It's not an exaggeration at all, just taking a glance at it, he was so shocked that he almost hit his head on the wooden box.

Look again...what kind of stone is it?
There is absolutely no way the stone is black!

It’s also impossible to reflect light!

This thing is made of copper!
The key is... are there words on it?

To be honest, it’s not like he hasn’t thought about it: there are utensils used to worship heaven in the founding ceremony of the country, there are wood carvings of the original statue of Empress Dowager Chengtian, there are also Chanyuan’s alliance letters, Jingkang’s surrender table...the magic weapon that serves as the heart of the formation, It's certainly not much different.

Have you even imagined what kind of seal it might be?

Later, Cheng Ming reported that it was very big and heavy, and he knew that he was overthinking it.

Later, the mound was hoisted in. After cleaning the soil, he was actually a little disappointed: it was too heavy, so it was not a wood carving, and it could not be an imperial case.

It could only be stone, or maybe a statue.

But even if it is the stone sculpture of which emperor, so what?
A stone is just a stone, how can it be carved as delicately as Xiao Chuoben's portrait?
But looking at it now, it's really like seeing a ghost: it's really not delicate, but a little heavy. But the statue of Xiao Chuo is incomparable to this one...

At the same time, I am also a little confused: What kind of national treasure cannot be obtained by Yang Lian Zhenjia?
That's not right, it should be said like this: What kind of treasure place can't he find?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this thief monk found this ancient city just to find this thing...

After thinking for a long time, Li Ding'an raised his head: "Well, why don't you pry?"

Do we dare to pry?
It's no exaggeration. When they saw what was in the box, they were a little doubtful: Did I see it wrong?
Peeking into the box: Yes, it's copper, and it's shining?
Look carefully: it is indeed those words.

Zaiqi looked up: Yes, nearly three meters high and two meters in diameter...

How fucking big does this have to be?
One thousand percent, that's the legendary bite... What should I do if it breaks?
"If it breaks, it's mine..."

Li Ding'an gritted his teeth, paused for a moment, and then lost his temper, "Of course, try to be careful..."

Several technicians also gritted their teeth and could only pry hard, and their movements became more and more gentle.

The crowbar was so thick and heavy that it felt like weighing needles for embroidery...

Zuo Peng finally came to his senses and tilted his head: "Didn't Teacher Li say that nine out of ten of them are tomb beasts? Why are they so careful?"

Wang Yongqian was also very puzzled: "Could it be another bottle of statue, for example, made of stone?"

"not sure!"

While he was making random guesses, Li Ding'an jumped onto the support with a crowbar.

The technician was really too slow and he didn't have the patience to wait.

Then: "Crackling...clicking..."

Three times five divided by two, the box was dismantled in every possible way.

The moment they could see the whole thing clearly, everyone was stunned: What is this?
It's two and a half meters tall...

At least one meter sixty-seven meters in diameter...

Huge clock!

It seems... or copper?
It's rusty and dull, but it's like a broken goblet and a carving, thick and mulberry.

Someone from behind whispered: "Yongle Bell?"

"Don't talk nonsense... This is the Feng Shui formation of the Yuan Dynasty. Where did the Yongle Bell come from?"

"Of course I know, it's just a metaphor...but why is it so big?"

"do not know……"

"Director Wang, could it be a tomb bell?" Zuo Peng looked hard, "But I have never heard of such a thing being unearthed from any emperor's tomb?"

Don't talk about being unearthed, I've never heard of it...

Wang Yongqian looked at it carefully: "Lvyuan, could it be the morning bell of some royal temple or Taoist temple?"

"It is possible that most of the big bells in the Big Bell Temple come from the temple, including the Yongle Bell... but it is only possible..."

Halfway through, Lu Benzhi paused again: Li Ding'an threw down the crowbar, held a magnifying glass against the wall of the clock, and turned it around and around, as if he was studying something.

Four national treasures, is this the first time I’ve seen him look at them so carefully?

His heart skipped a beat, and Lu Benzhi held the walkie-talkie: "Ding'an, is there an inscription on it?"

"right……"

"What is it?"

Li Ding'an straightened up and took a deep breath: "Lv Yuan, it's not quite complete. Let me read it to you:
Looking up to the bright spirit... admiring the sincerity...

Work hard day and night...not to mention leisure time

Wufu Guoan... universal admiration...

The crops are harvested at the end of the year...Benevolence is around the world...

Every time he read a sentence, the flesh on Lu Benzhi's face twitched. When he heard the sentence "Benevolence Zhou Huanyu", a mouthful of old phlegm rushed into his throat.

He had anticipated everything, even thought about the dragon throne, the palace beast of the Golden Palace, and even the plaque at the main entrance of the imperial city, but he just didn't think of this thing.

Suddenly, he even had the same illusion as Li Ding'an: What kind of national treasure cannot appear here?
In an instant, he turned back sharply and looked at the altar of sacrifice and the Ancestral Temple outside the city:
The city of the Tang Dynasty, the clock of the Tang Dynasty?
So that’s it?
"Dean Lu...Dean Lu?"

Lu Benzhi came back to his senses: "Oh, Director Wang, you said..."

"Dean Lu, does this bell have a lot of history?"

More than just an origin?

Lu Benzhi's expression was indescribably melancholy:
"In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong (Li Shimin) had a dream at night, and said to his courtiers: Every time I sit in silence, I will reflect on myself, always afraid that I will not obey the heart of heaven, and that I will be resented by the people. But I think of the righteous man's advice, and I want to make my ears and eyes better. External communication, no resentment and stagnation... This is the "Taizong Self-examination" that has been passed down through the ages...

The next day, Taizong ordered the Ministry of Industry to cast a bell and hang it outside the end gate of the Daming Palace... You know the bell, it is not an ordinary bell... "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the First Emperor of Qin": Collected the troops from all over the world, gathered them in Xianyang, and sold them as bells To show the imperial power... Duanmen also knows, right? "

Lu Benzhi pointed to the ancient city, "Beyond the Meridian Gate, between the Imperial Ancestral Temple and the Altar of Sheji... When the bell rings, the people of Chang'an City can hear it, all officials can hear it, Taizong can hear it, and the ancestors of the Li family can also hear it. If you can hear it, God can hear it even more..."

Isn't this what Li Shimin wanted the people, subjects, Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty, the ancestors, and God to see: I am right...

But no, the focus now is not this, but this bell...

Wang Yongqian stared at the inner cabin, his eyelids twitching constantly: The most important weapon of the country!

Others were the same, as if the clock came alive, their ears were buzzing, and there were many ants crawling on their scalps, making them feel numb:

The bell of the Tang Dynasty is the weapon of the country!
Not referring to now, but from the moment it was hung outside the end gate of Daming Palace...

From this moment on, every time this important weapon of the country is exhibited, every time it appears in front of the world, a line of specially marked fonts will inevitably appear:
Excavated location: The remaining capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Discoverer: Li Ding'an...

　Tomorrow's update may be a little later, but I'll try to be as early as possible!
