Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 397 Regret

An ordinary buffet with average ingredients, but the taste is very good.

Unknowingly, he had eaten too much. Chengjie waved his hands and ate in the yard.

Not long after leaving, the secretary hurried over: "Secretary, the director invites you to his room to discuss something with you!"

"Why didn't you call?"

The secretary said nothing, and Cheng Jie touched it: the two pockets were empty.

I forgot my cell phone...

He nodded, quickened his pace, and entered the hotel.

The secretary made tea and closed the door, leaving them alone in the room.

The curator turned around his notebook: "Look at this!"

What, that ancient city in the Hunshan Desert?
It has been three weeks since I discovered that Cheng Jie knew something about it, but he had been organizing meetings and had not bothered to learn more.

It looks like the initial cleanup has been completed...

Chengjie suddenly became interested and clicked the mouse.

Hey, not small?

They are also well preserved: the Ancestral Temple and the altar of sacrifice are on the left and right, and the Meridian Gate, Arrow Tower, and the main body of the main hall are intact...

Isn't this like the small broken city that Li Ding'an said?

"It's well-built and well-preserved... Hmm, does it look familiar?"

"Does it look familiar? It's exactly the same as the layout of the Forbidden City!"

What... the Forbidden City?
The curator smiled softly, meaning to let him take a closer look.

Chengjie clicked the mouse fiercely, and a bird's-eye view of the ancient city appeared on the screen.

The city gate no longer exists, but the ruins remain. If compared to the Forbidden City, this should be Tiananmen.

Further north, Zuo Zuo She, the middle Duanmen...

Stepping through the gate is the Meridian Gate, and the Meridian Road paved with bluestone goes straight to the north: the front hall is the largest, the middle is the smallest, and the back hall is the second, located on the meridian in order...

Look at both sides: Although it is made of rammed earth, the walls are tilted here and there, and most of the roofs have collapsed, the overall layout is the same as that of the Forbidden City.

Chengjie suddenly raised his head: "When was it built?"

"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest son of Zhaozong Li Ye, the crown prince and King of De, Li Yu..." the curator pointed to the photo, "when Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, he fled here and proclaimed himself emperor around 902, named Emperor Xude...

In addition to buildings, many relics were discovered: Li's temple stele, Li Yu's memorial tablet, a jade book offering sacrifices to heaven, and a golden seal: the destiny treasure of the Queen..."

Chengjie was stunned again.

This square seal was originally created by Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty: at that time, his condition was getting worse and he wanted Wu Zetian to be regent, but he gave up because of the opposition of the officials.

I don't know who gave them the trick later, but Li Zhi and Wu Zetian actually made up a prophecy: Tianfu.

This is the origin of "when the heavenly talisman comes out, the emperor's industry will be prosperous," and "the Holy Mother's presence will make the emperor's industry prosper forever." Then Li Zhi worshiped heaven in the temple, called himself "Emperor", named Wu Zetian "Queen of Heaven", and cast the "Treasure of Destiny of the Queen of Heaven", allowing Wu Zetian to officially act as regent on his behalf.

By a combination of circumstances, Emperor Gaozong's cunning maneuvers could be regarded as laying a good foundation for Wu Zetian to "usurp the Tang Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty".

Therefore, with this square seal, as well as the Ancestral Temple, jade album, and tablets, there is no doubt about the origin of this city: the Tang Dynasty’s legacy capital!
The point is: Li Yu ascended the throne here and built the Sheji Altar and the Imperial Ancestral Temple, so the time of the fall of the Tang Dynasty must be re-examined.

From a historical perspective, it is significant.

Think again about what Li Ding'an said when he called him a few weeks ago: Secretary, it's just a small broken city...

You call this a small broken city?
After being stunned for a long time, Cheng Jie smiled and shook his head: "How long has it been since the end of the Tang Dynasty? It has been buried for thousands of years, and it is still in the deserted desert area, but Li Ding'an just dug it out? He is really powerful..."

"There's something even more powerful!"

The curator slid the mouse and said, "Look!"

what?
With a quick glance, Chengjie's eyes suddenly narrowed:
Statue of Xiao Chuo, Queen Mother of Liao Chengtian...

Chanyuan's Letter of Credence...Jingkang's Rebellion...

The Founding of the Jin Dynasty and the Bronze Plow of the Heaven Sacrifice...

Tang Dynasty Bell...

Also: a gold-encrusted skull...

"Isn't it... Wanyan Aguda?" Chengjie's eyes widened, "Director, where do these... come from?"

"It's Li Ding'an. He found the Feng Shui ruins, which are underground in this ancient city..."

The curator smiled sadly: "These cultural relics are what he said before: magical tools for arranging Feng Shui magic circles!"

Cheng Jie was speechless.

He only organized a few weeks of meetings, but Li Ding'an made such a big noise?
Chao Zhong, copper plow?
These two pieces are undoubtedly the most important weapons of the country, whether in ancient times or now.

Even if it is placed in the National Museum, which has so many national treasures, it is definitely qualified to enter the main exhibition hall.

Credentials, surrender?
The Chanyuan Alliance and the Jingkang Incident... Even junior high school students in their teens know these two historical events. From this, we can know the significance and value of these two cultural relics?
The most important thing is the last one: the gold-inlaid skull, Wanyan Aguda?
Chengjie doesn’t even know how to evaluate it?
The last time he went to Naiman, Li Ding'an told him: the dragon bone in the hand of the Buddha was most likely the remains of that emperor.

I also said to him: He said it casually without proof or evidence.

What about this time?

"How did he find out?"

"The process is a bit tortuous..."

The curator went on step by step, from the time Li Ding'an left Naiman, to Huolin's discovery of Jin Zhong's tomb, then to Ximeng, and then to the discovery of the ancient city, as well as the inspection and cleanup process... and finally found the ruins...

Cheng Jie looked straight at the curator: "You mean, Li Ding'an has the temper of a donkey again, insists on getting into trouble, and won't listen to anyone's advice?"

"almost!"

"In the end, he was forced to poke a hole in the bull's horn?"

The curator immediately laughed: Don't tell me, this metaphor is quite vivid?

It also fits Li Ding'an's character very well: If I say yes, then there must be, and if there is no, then there will be...

"There is a certain stubbornness!"

"More than just one? In Lao He's words: His whole body is full of stubborn bones... But the strange thing is that he can hit the right place every time? Otherwise, where would the ancient city, magic circle, and cultural relics come from?"

Chengjie sighed helplessly, "If there are more like this, let's get a few more!"

The curator laughed again: That’s true.

Li Ding'an is not stubborn every time. When he shouldn't be stubborn, he is smarter than anyone else...

"Director, who is in charge of the scene, Li Ding'an?"

"It's Lao Lu. When he discovered the ancient city, Li Ding'an contacted the Forbidden City. Lao Lu led two teams: Xiao Jianzhi and Cheng Ming, which are basically enough!"

"Oh, it's enough, but why can I agree? No matter how you calculate it, Li Ding'an is considered a member of the National Museum of China!"

"Yes, of course they are from the National Museum." The curator nodded.
"So please come over, let's discuss it first, and then communicate with the Supervision Committee: the site is too big, its nature is quite special, and we don't have enough manpower... So after the New Year, Li Ding'an can be temporarily seconded to them, But when necessary, he has to come back to help..."

Borrow, or temporarily?

Chengjie looked strange: Leader, how do I remember, didn't you say that at the beginning?
He kind of knew what the curator meant when he asked him to come over: he regretted it.

I definitely regret it...

　I had a hard time last night. I finished the revision at six in the morning. I was obviously very sleepy, but I just couldn't fall asleep. As a result, I didn't fall asleep until almost nine o'clock.

　　I had some food at noon, but couldn't sleep again, so I didn't sleep for a while until five o'clock.

　　But my mind is groggy, so I don’t dare to stay up today. I have to adjust it. There are only two short chapters, sorry.
