Chapter 263 Qianlong's Retribution
When the official archaeological excavation of the tomb of King Yingjing, he also found a Yuan blue and white plum vase with four open windows on the abdomen, which were respectively drawn by Wang Xizhi's love orchids, Tao Yuanming's love chrysanthemums, Zhou Dunyi's love lotus, and Lin Hejing's love plum crane, hence the name Four Love Pictures.
The glaze of plum vase is white and green, and the colors are green and gorgeous. It is a fine work among Yuan blue and white porcelain. It is now the treasure of the provincial museum.
Experts assert that there must be some Yuan blue and white porcelain beings passed down from generation to generation, but their whereabouts are unknown. Unexpectedly, they were found by themselves?
There are five pieces of Ming official kiln porcelain in the box, each of which is a royal fine product, and any of them are worth tens of millions of heavy objects. They are all packed and returned to the capital.
After putting down the baby, Wen Yiming took three golden men and looked for Ling Junsheng, and asked the old man to study what the twelve seal characters mean?
"Are these... nine place names?"
After all, Ling Junsheng was an authority, and he quickly concluded that the twelve were all Qin Dazhe, and translated into nine ancient place names.
"You also discovered the Zhongshan King Ding?" Ling Jun breathed a sigh of relief, looked at no one around, and whispered: "This time it was a huge discovery. You should have heard the legend of the Nine Dings, right?"
It was a big deal, but I was still worried. After standing up and locking the door, looking at Wen Yiming, he said extremely seriously: "My master once told me a secret, which is about Jiuding!"
"It is said that in order to stabilize the world, Qin Shihuang asked the national teacher Xu Fu to search for nine dragon caves in the world, and used secret techniques to forge the nine tripods. He wanted to use the nine tripods to stabilize the dragon caves and completely outline the dragon veins of the nine provinces!"
"Really or not?"
Wen Yiming was surprised. Looking at the old man's serious expression, it didn't seem like a joke. He said curiously: "The Nine Cauldrons are not rumored to be found in all dynasties and generations? It seems that they have all been cast from Dayu, Qin Shihuang, Wu Zetian, Song Huizong, and even Qianlong?"
"Well, you're right!" Ling Junsheng nodded, pointed to the twelve seal characters and said: "I originally thought it was a legend, but today I saw the information on the Jin people with my own eyes. It should be left by Lu Buwei. How do you explain it?"
"Are these nine ancient place names..."
Ling Junsheng waved his hand and lowered his voice: "It is very likely that it is the nine dragon caves that Qin Shihuang found back then!"
Wen Yiming took a deep breath and remembered the rumors that Liu Datong said about Feng Shui masters looking for dragon veins. He suddenly had an intuition that the Nine Dings and Dragon veins were probably not nonsense!
"This news is too important. Except for the two of us, we must keep it confidential!"
Ling Junsheng asked Wen Yiming to put away his seal characters and warned: "The three Jin people and the Zhongshan King Ding must be kept secret, and even museums cannot display it. Remember this about the Yanhuang Lifeline!"
Wen Yiming and Zheng agreed with the key point, "This cannot be careless, and it is definitely not a coincidence that we can get clues with the Zhongshan King Ding at the same time, but maybe it is God's will."
After returning, I explained to Liu Datong alone that everyone would keep their harvests in the past few days. I secretly collected clues about the Nine Tripods at the Treasure Hunting Association, and paid special attention to the dynamics of people in Feng Shui.
I searched the nine ancient place names online, with a large range, some even crossed provinces, and there were no specific clues at all. There were also the so-called Nine Cauldrons, the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring, Autumn, Warring States, Qin and Han dynasties, and countless bronze ware for thousands of years. Who knows which Nine Cauldrons are?
"Hey, no wonder thousands of years have only been legends, and it's too difficult, right?"
Wen Yiming sighed, lit the incense of meditation, and began to breathe. This kind of thing was too far away, and I was not so arrogant that I could be awesome to save the people. It was useless to think about it, so it would be better to relax.
The fragrance enters the body with repeated breathing, melts into the blood and qi and meridians, and soon forgets both of us and reaches the perfect state of practice.
I have to say that breathing is the best partner for the incense. When breathing, spitting out new things, taking the essence, removing the dross, strengthening blood and qi, nourishing the meridians, and the effect is excellent.
No wonder Taoist monks have to light incense since ancient times when practicing. Whether it is to calm the mind or eliminate distracting thoughts, they have achieved half the result with twice the effort. It really makes sense.
After sorting out these few harvests, most of them are national treasures and they are going to be displayed in the museum. Wang Yuanqi has three screens, Tianhuang seals, and eight Ming blue and white pieces. The others are scattered to Ling Tiancheng, and he asked him to prepare for the next Mingyuanzhai special session.
All the gold ingots and gold bars found are left to the greedy ghost Jinbao. The daily appetite is getting bigger and bigger, but the sensitivity is becoming more sensitive and the search range is larger. This investment is very cost-effective.
The Golden Horn has just evolved once, and I guess it will take a long time to wait next time. After all, it is the Gu King and has a lifespan of hundreds of years. This matter is unhurried.
The biggest changes are Xiao Jin and Xiao Bai. After Hexiang improves their physical fitness, they have grown to eighty or ninety centimeters in less than two months. In particular, Xiao Bai is gifted and not only has a large body, but also has high spirituality. Now he can understand human words, as smart as a two or three-year-old child.
With the best nutrition every day, coupled with Xiaoxue's careful care, the two little guys live happily. Wen Yiming plans to wait for the villa to be built and set up a training ground in the back mountain. Not only Heihu and others can practice martial arts, but Xiao Jin and Xiaobai also start training and become treasure hunters in the future.
After being idle, he continued to sort out clues and prepare for his next plan. Wen Yiming looked at the treasures of troubled times and could not help but sigh that he is worthy of being a civilization history for thousands of years, and there is no shortage of ancient tombs and tomb robbers.
In fact, to be honest, not only the foolish and common people participated in digging graves, but even the emperor, the Nine Five, had a special liking for tomb robbers, and everyone liked to get rich overnight.
For example, Emperor Qianlong, who is known as the old man of Shiquan, should be regarded as the most powerful and most noble tomb robber, and his motive is also amazing. It is said that he is just to steal the nanmu pillar in the tomb - to replace the pillar.
He pursues perfection in everything, and building a tomb is no exception. Yuling is large in scale, majestic in momentum, exquisite in design, and strives for perfection in every detail.
The choice of materials was the best. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was at its peak. The country was strong and the national treasury was full. Qianlong spared no expense to search for high-quality wood all over the world as the materials for the construction of his mausoleum. The wood came from all over the country and was sent to the capital from thousands of miles away. However, what he liked the most was the construction materials in the Ming Dynasty's Thirteen Tombs.
Emperor Qianlong set his sights on the Changling of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, the masterpiece of the large pillars is a fine gold-silk nanmu. It can be said that it is late to be produced, with a hard texture and a luster surface of the wood. It does not require lacquer. It has a pleasant smell and is not close to mosquitoes. It has been the best among building materials in all dynasties.
The Yoen Hall of Changling Ming Dynasty was the largest golden nanmu hall, which made Qianlong, who was eager for exquisite materials, very moved. After Liu Yong, Ji Xiaolan and others knew that Qianlong had fallen in love with the golden nanmu pillar on the Yoen Palace, they tried their best to dissuade him to protect Changling. However, Qianlong still did not give up, and the golden nanmu was not in hand for a day and was uneasy for a day.
Under the planning of the ministers, Emperor Qianlong finally found an excuse to repair the Ming Thirteen Tombs. On the ground of the fact that the golden nanmu wood was cut, he submitted a request to Changling. The ground buildings in Yongling were demolished and changed to smaller sizes. Some palace gates and halls of Yongling were demolished and the scale was reduced.
Not only did Yongling look refreshed, but it also had a lot of wood left. The remaining wood was naturally owned by Qianlong. There was no airtight wall in the world, and the scandal of Qianlong's stealing of wood was still exposed. The incident of the emperor's stealing of the tomb was horrifying. In the end, in order to block his mouth, he actually directed and acted a farce of exiling himself to Jiangnan. He had never seen such a shameless person!
