Play treasure master

Chapter 322

"There are two kinds, yellow jade is for the vassal king, and white jade is for the provincial court!" Cai Pengxi replied, "The topaz is made of river mill jade, and the white jade is made of Hetian jade."

The so-called Provincial Yuantai refers to the three central institutions of the Yuan Dynasty: Zhongshu Province, Privy Council, and Yushitai.

"How come I haven't seen any historical materials for such an important thing?" Yu Yao was a little surprised.

"Because of these two imperial decrees, the imperial decree issued is not an order to deploy troops, but a major event for the crown prince! The Yuan Dynasty was a very special dynasty, such as the secrecy of the imperial mausoleum, the lack of some historical materials; and the chaos of succession to the throne. !"

Cai Pengxi went on to explain, "This imperial decree jade tablet should only be used by a few emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, and they all passed the decree in secret, so this happened. It is also because of this that it is particularly rare, and it is not only in the Antique value!"

Yu Yao thought to himself that the chaotic succession of the throne in the Yuan Dynasty was indeed a historical fact, especially after Kublai Khan.The political, economic and cultural system of the Yuan Dynasty lagged behind that of the Han dynasty, and was even worse than that of the feudal dynasty of the last Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In the inheritance of the throne in the Yuan Dynasty, there was neither the term "the eldest son", nor the Eight Banners Conference and the secret decree of the former emperor like the Qing Dynasty; the qualifications of the crown prince can be extended to all direct descendants of Genghis Khan.

The competition for the throne within the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty and among the four major Khanates has been fierce. There was a period in the Yuan Dynasty when eight "emperors" were changed in less than 30 years.

Therefore, as Cai Pengxi said, only a few emperors used it, which is also complementary to historical facts; if this thing can be customized, it will not be so messy.

"Then how did you verify it?" Yu Yao continued to ask.

Cai Pengxi waved his hand, "I also picked up the tooth wisdom of Master Lang."

"Mr. Lang told me that in the early years, he once had the opportunity to obtain a white jade plaque from the imperial decree. Unfortunately, he was preempted by Xie Liuzhai. Therefore, Mr. Lang deduced this conclusion after checking a large number of cultural relics and various historical materials; and some The so-called historical materials may actually be just a few words or inscriptions on cultural relics. Therefore, it is normal that even experts in the antique circle have never heard of imperial jade tablets."

"No wonder." Yu Yao involuntarily picked up the jade tablet that Cai Pengxi put down, rubbed it between his fingers at this moment, and suddenly had a different feeling - this is a natural sublimation reaction of understanding the source.

This is the charm of antiques.Why are paintings and calligraphy most likely to command high prices?Because it can often leave the imprint of the author and collectors of past dynasties, it is easier to have a sense of substitution of "dialogue with the ancients".

"Then where did this imperial decree white jade plaque end up? It seems that it never showed up." Yu Yao asked again.

"I don't know! Maybe it was sold, and the collector kept it secret, maybe it has been kept in secret." Cai Pengxi shook his head, and then said solemnly, "You can already make a lot of money from this pigeon blood red; this piece The Imperial Decree Topaz Plaque can no longer be used!"

"Old man, even if I don't have pigeon blood red, I won't sell this jade token." Yu Yao replied.

At this moment, Cai Chihuang suddenly sighed, "Grandpa, you never told me about this, but hearing it today, I really feel ignorant."

"I didn't have a phone before, so I didn't mention it." Cai Pengxi glanced at him and said, "Not only you, but even Mr. Lang back then would feel ignorant at times! Antiques have a lot of connections, and what you need The knowledge is as vast as the ocean, and the ocean of learning is boundless!"

Cai Chihuang seemed to be touched and fell into deep thought.

······
After Yu Yao and Cai Chihuang discussed some matters about Pigeon's Blood Red, they left.

Yu Yao contacted Shangguan Yu again, and went to pick up the patch together.In the evening, Yu Yao, Shangguan Yu, Yang Rui and Lin Fengcao met, and after dinner, they came to Lin Fengcao's residence.

Lin Fengcao's residence is not far from the school. It is an ordinary closed community with two bedrooms and one living room, and the furniture is also very ordinary.However, there are still a few antiques in the study.

Yu Yao didn't take a closer look, because a pair of lamp stands had already been placed in the middle of the study.

Because the size of Shangguanyu’s patch is quite different, so I installed it first and tried it out. The comb teeth on the top and bottom of the lampshade were originally stuck on the patch, but Shangguanyu’s patch can only be stuck on the bottom, and the top is enough. It's not there, and it's still short, leaving a gap of about two centimeters on the lampshade.

Try Yu Yao's patch again, it is just right after wrapping it around a circle, there is no gap, and the upper and lower comb teeth can also be stuck; but it is still a little too short, it is completely stuck on the bottom, and the top is just barely stuck.

In fact, if there were a pair of Moon Shadow Lanterns, the stickers should also be a pair to complement each other; but in the current situation, we can only try one first.

Naturally, try the more suitable Yuyao patch first.

Lin Fengcao had already prepared smokeless candles, lit them, and closed the lampshade.The thick two-layer curtains have been pulled to death, and even the door of the study room has been sealed by Lin Fengcao.In the whole room, there is only candlelight in the lampshade.

There was no response for ten seconds.

But these four people can also calm down.

Candles are getting brighter...
"Turn it!" Yang Rui couldn't help shouting suddenly.

At this time, the lampshade did shake slightly, but it didn't rotate obviously.

"Maybe it's been too long and needs a warm-up process." Shangguan Yu replied.

After another minute or so, the lampshade finally began to rotate slowly, and the speed was relatively slow, and there were occasional stutters.

There were no images around.

The lampshade turned faster and faster.Of course, this speed is only relative to the beginning, and the actual speed is still relatively slow.Finally, a constant speed is reached, which is also a relatively slow rhythm.

After the lampshade rotated at a constant speed for about half a minute, light and shadow really began to appear around it!

It was mottled at first, then gradually expanded, gradually merged, and gradually cleared!

Kind of like a slideshow.

The four of them seem to be surrounded by a landscape of rivers and mountains. The mountains are steep and stretching, and the dense forest rises and falls with the mountains.

The red sun is rising, and its way is bright.The river flows out and flows into the ocean.

Because the patch rotates with the lampshade, if you only look at one place in a fixed frame, the picture is moving; if you look at the speed and frequency of the lampshade rotation, it seems to have a three-dimensional feeling.

Such things, in the face of modern technology, are actually worthless.But this is something hundreds of years ago, relying on only one lamp, one paper and one candle!

"It's amazing!" Yu Yao couldn't help sighing.

And at this moment, Yu Yao discovered that there were scenes on the screen that couldn't be seen on the patch!
The big river has a distant view into the sea on the patch, but on the small patch, this part of the view is not very clear, and it is at the end of the two sides of the patch, which is "separated".

Now that the patch is closed on the lampshade, this part of the scene is magnified, and I can see four characters carved vertically on a tall and relatively smooth cliff by the sea.

The words are not very big in the light and shadow; moreover, the light and shadow are flickering, and they are not very clear; but if you look closely, you can still recognize them:
Give me back my rivers and mountains!
