Chapter 449: Ming Dynasty Traitor
Only Ye Mei felt a pity, since she knew that it was a treasure, regardless of whether it had just been unearthed or not, it would be a lot of money to resell it! Anyway, it wasn't dug up by herself, what are you afraid of?
However, since Brother Hu and the others did this, she naturally didn't dare to say anything else, so as not to arouse Brother Hu's disgust.
Hu Yang and his entourage, such a fuss, in this antique market has also made many people know, full of injustice! They like this kind of rich and coercive people.
As a result, every time I pass a small stall, the stall owners are very enthusiastic and recommend the treasures on their stalls, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the recent Qing Dynasty objects.
Only she has to read almost all of them, and she is obsessed with Chinese culture, especially calligraphy and painting.
"Brother Hu, what do you think of this one?" She picked up an old looking ancient book, opened it and looked at it, and the calligraphy on it made her like it very much.
Hu Yang glanced at it a few times, and the content of the book talked about some principles and policies for governing the country. He also accidentally saw the word "Wencheng" in the name of the author of the book.
He didn't have the desire to look at it anymore, handed it back to the persimmon, and said, "It's okay, it's a bit historical, and you can buy it if it's not expensive." ”
The audience in the live broadcast room is actually not very happy that the cultural relics of their country are taken away by the Japanese, even if this is a beautiful girl who is close to China.
Many of China's national treasures and cultural relics were lost to Japan, and they tried to get them back. It's okay now, just continue to take it away.
She didn't think much about anything else, she just liked the calligraphy on it.
After some bargaining, the stall owner still bit 1,200 yuan to death. People are not stupid, when you see that you young people are not very short of money, and you don't kill them when you meet them, then you can't bear to be sorry for yourself, right?
There was no way, so I had to buy it for 1,200 yuan, and it was rare to meet one I liked, so it didn't matter if I spent a little more money.
In addition, she doesn't think that she is losing, after all, she has liked calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she still has a little appreciation for them, and she doesn't think she is at a loss. 1,200 yuan to buy, the calligraphy alone is worth it.
After leaving the stall, Ye Mei asked curiously: "What is the origin of this book?
"It's not a loss, the book written by Fan Wencheng is a little valuable!" Hu Yang said.
"I don't know Fan Wencheng, I've only heard of Fan Zhongyan, it seems to be from the Song Dynasty. Ye Mei thought about it, she couldn't remember such a historical figure.
Qi Hongye said uncertainly: "It seems that he is an official of the Qing Dynasty! Many people say that he is a traitor." ”
Hu Yang nodded: "He has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, and he is indeed an out-and-out traitor to the Ming Dynasty and even to the Han people." When he was in the Ming Dynasty, he was a showman, and he was cultivated in the Ming Dynasty. But he took refuge in Nurhachi, and then helped the Qing Dynasty to establish the country, attacked the Ming Dynasty, and became one of the founding fathers of the Qing Dynasty. ”
He explained that although there was a last resort for defecting to the Qing Dynasty, he was loyal to the Qing Dynasty and was definitely a dog of the Qing Dynasty.
Hu Yang did not have much opinion on him serving the Qing Dynasty, after all, there were many Han people who served the Manchus, and there was nothing to say about the change of imperial regime.
To always say that the Qing Dynasty did not contribute to the Chinese nation is not objective.
But Hu Yang feels that Fan Wencheng is a person who sometimes really can't be said to be a person, such as the one mentioned above, watching his wife being humiliated, and being a licking dog, is this considered a person?
In order to help the Qing Dynasty, he made a lot of sacrifices. It doesn't matter if he is a traitor or not, anyway, Hu Yang doesn't like this person, and naturally he can't appreciate his calligraphy and the like.
In the live broadcast room, a heated discussion was immediately sparked, discussing whether Fan Wencheng was a traitor.
Fan Wencheng was very important in the Qing Dynasty, and he participated in the decision-making of all the national systems, discussing the strategy of attacking the Ming Dynasty, and plotting against officials.
In the eyes of some fans of the Ming Dynasty, this is naturally an incomprehensible traitor, how can he not gnash his teeth at this person?
However, those who really know this person know that his contribution is also great.
When the Qing Dynasty attacked the Ming Dynasty, Fan Wencheng repeatedly dissuaded the Qing army from carrying out the strategy of slaughtering the city, which was a manifestation of benevolence. So even though he is a traitor, Fan Wencheng is still a traitor with a clear conscience. Fan Wencheng had a high status in the Qing Dynasty, so he was still a traitor with a high status and great achievements.
"Even so, it can't hide the fact that he turned his back on his homeland, what is this not a traitor?"
"That's right! This kind of calligraphy is not needed! Since the Japanese like it, then take it away, it's not a big deal." ”
"I still remember that someone boasted about Wang Jingwei's talent. To be honest, no matter how talented a traitor is, I can't appreciate it, that's my attitude. ”
......
Among some fans of the Qing Dynasty, Fan Wencheng is undoubtedly a hero, and naturally speaks for him.
If it weren't for Fan Wencheng, the Ming people died more and more miserably at that time. If it weren't for Fan Wencheng's political talent, there would not have been a happy life for the Han people in the Qing Dynasty.
In view of the Qing Dynasty's misadministration of emphasizing the Manchus over the Han nationality and engaging in sectarian cronyism, he suggested that all ministries and ministers of the imperial court should recommend talents to "regardless of whether the Manchus or the Han are old or new, regardless of qualifications, do not avoid grievances, and take people who are truly capable of guarding them" to serve as officials at all levels.
"If it weren't for Fan Wencheng, who was an official in the Qing Dynasty, what would happen to the Han people? You still hate others, it's really unreasonable, your kindness was struck by lightning, that's what you said, right?"
"Therefore, Fan Wencheng really can't be considered a traitor. Besides, now that the Manchus and Hans are all one family, helping the Manchus to do things, how can they be considered traitors?"
"That's it! Yue Fei has been removed from the title of national hero! For the sake of national unity, so don't talk about whether a traitor is a traitor or not!"
......
Speaking of the fact that Yue Fei even lost the title of national hero, many people scolded the expert for not being human.
The education that everyone has been exposed to since childhood, that is, Yue Fei is a national hero and an idol of many people, and suddenly, you say that Yue Fei is not a national hero, which is equivalent to breaking the faith of many people, is this acceptable?
Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, it is not very good in their eyes. The darkness of the late Ming Dynasty is unimaginable to many people, although the Qing Dynasty is not Han orthodox, but at least it brought a new atmosphere.
However, the Qing Dynasty signed almost the most humiliating regulations in the entire history of the Chinese nation, and lost the pride of the Chinese nation, which is also the reason why everyone does not like this dynasty.
As for Fan Wencheng, whether he is a traitor or not, it doesn't matter much to everyone.
For a while, there was not much interest in discussing the book.
In general, people who don't like the Qing Dynasty still account for the majority, even Brother Hu is not much interested in that book, and when it comes to Fan Wencheng, he doesn't introduce it directly, which can also show Brother Hu's attitude.
And the persimmon has no ill feelings towards Fan Wencheng. Besides, she simply appreciates the calligraphy, and there is nothing like a fish in her throat.
In Ye Mei's opinion, she thinks it's worth it, regardless of whether it's a traitor or not? As long as an egg is not bad, do you still ask whether the chicken that gave birth to this egg is a good chicken?
"Brother Hu, how much is this worth?" Ye Mei couldn't help but ask.
Hu Yang thought for a while: "Fan Wencheng is an unpleasant person in later generations, so his calligraphy is rarely collected, and the value will not be very high." But it's hard to say, after all, no matter how bad a person is, there will always be people who like it, and even their descendants may buy it back at a high price and use it as an heirloom!
If you have to say a price, thirty or fifty thousand!"
I only bought it for more than 1,000 yuan, and sold it for 350,000 yuan, and I made too much money! Ye Mei was envious.
Seeing Ye Mei's envy, Hu Yang smiled and said: "Do you see that horn cup over there?" rhinoceros horn is made, although the quality is average, and the carving is not excellent, but the market price is more than 10,000 yuan, you can go and talk about it." ”
Hearing Brother Hu's words, Ye Mei's eyes lit up and she hurriedly walked over.
This woman is really good at bargaining, and she even negotiated dozens of yuan, but the stall owner's face was a little dark.
"So the rhinoceros horn is like this!" Ye Mei looked at the cup she had bought.
I haven't seen much of it, but I've at least heard that rhino horn is valuable. It is said that some rhinos in Africa are on the verge of extinction. This thing, like ivory, is a valuable thing, and both creatures often lose their lives because of their teeth and horns.
Hu Yang took his hand, looked at it for a while, and said: "This is Yajiao, but I don't know if it was native to China before." ”
"What is it?" Ye Mei couldn't understand these professional terms.
Populus euphratica explained to him: "Rhino horns are generally divided into Asian and African, and some people refer to them as subhorns and non-horns. In the past, we also had rhinoceros in China, which were probably extinct during the Ming and Qing dynasties. ”
Rhino horn attribute cold, in ancient times when medical conditions were not very developed, it was a good medicine for treating fever. Coupled with the fact that it can be sculpted as a plaything and become a symbol of the status of the powerful due to its rarity, and a large number of hunting and horning are taken, the Asian rhinoceros in China became extinct in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
"Then how do I sell it?" Recovering the funds is what Ye Mei wants to do the most now.
Before Hu Yang could speak, Andy spoke: "I'll give you 10,000 yuan, can you make a move?" ”
Anyway, he followed Brother Hu and came into contact with many buyers, so he was not afraid that he would be smashed in his hands in the future. Since Brother Hu said that this cup is more than 10,000 yuan, then he must have made money by buying it for 10,000 yuan.
Ye Mei didn't care about those, and the most important thing was to quickly convert it into capital, so she didn't bargain with Andy, and changed hands for 10,000 yuan, and she was very excited.
Hu Yang laughed: "You let this kid take advantage of you, this cup can be sold for at least fifteen thousand." ”
Ye Mei rolled her eyes: I didn't say it earlier, but I will say it now.
