"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our year-end auction of Jinhe Auction House, this time, we have prepared a lot of rare products on the market, I am sure, will not disappoint you!"

The auction soon began in earnest, and the auctioneer Tao Jinshen presided over the auction, who has rich auction experience, and also has good attainments in appraisal, and many things have been appraised by him in the past. In terms of explanation, it will also be much more vivid and in-depth, and convincing.

He is also a pillar of the auction house, holding 5% of the auction house's shares. For a second-rate auction house, this is the only way to retain talents to the greatest extent.

"Without further ado, the first work is a blue and white dragon pattern melon ridge bottle in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, with a height of 30.5 cm and a diameter of 18 cm, with three pairs of double dragons spitting beads.

The shape of the vessel is regular and delicate, the tire is fine and white and firm, the painting is neat, the blue and white hair color is strong, the glaze is tight and smooth, and it is well preserved. The bottom is engraved with the six-character three-line blue and white seal book of "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty". The reserve price is two million, and the price increase is not less than 100,000 each time, if you have friends who like it, you can bid as much as you like!"

The first work, as a good start, is a porcelain that is very popular with the audience, and there is almost no possibility of unsuccessful auctions. At the same time, they set the tone and draw a threshold to indicate the level of their auction items.

Of course, just in case, there will still be some people to wait underneath, and if it is cold, someone will take it back, so as not to encounter Waterloo.

Insurance is to be bought, but normal auctions, they will not drive up prices.

"The blue and white dragon pattern melon prism bottle in the Qianlong period? And the vessel is so high, dignified and atmospheric, as soon as it comes up, there are a lot of good things in this Jinhe auction house?"

"I have always wanted to buy a typical collection, last time I was slow, this time I happened to meet, you are welcome. Two and two hundred thousand!"

"Two and three hundred thousand!"

"Two and a half million!"

"Three million!"

……

The blue and white craft is a very mature and typical craft in the Qing Dynasty, and the melon bottle is also unique, as the first work to be auctioned, the price was already low, and it soon ran towards four million.

This also made Tao Jinshen breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that his worries are unnecessary, in this kind of place, there has always been no shortage of rich people.

"4 million!"

Everyone's enthusiasm was not deterred by the price, and the next buyer raised a sign and shouted the price of four million.

"This gentleman is out of 4 million, is there anything higher?"

"4.1 million!"

"4.2 million!"

This time it turned into a tug-of-war, and everyone weighed it in their hearts, and no one opened up too much of a price difference.

In the end, the price stayed at 4.8 million, and it was won by an old gentleman, and it was almost 5 million.

Tao Jinshen felt a little regretful, and saw that no one was bidding, so he made the final decision and completed the transaction. Then the auction of the second piece begins.

The second work is a bloodstone seal by Li Hongzao. This bloodstone is of high quality, the stone is huge, the shape is regular, and the blood color is fresh, bright and moving, as if flowing, it is a rare top grade. The reserve price is one million, and each increase is not less than 50,000. ”

Tao Jinshen took out the second work and introduced it.

"Li Hongzao? I've only heard of Li Hongzhang, it can't be that this auctioneer has misreported his name, right?"

Many ordinary people, who had never even heard of this name, exchanged their heads with each other, and the scene was a little commotionous.

"People are professional auctioneers, how can this kind of big scene go wrong? In history, there is really such a person as Li Hongzao, a great official of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Some people who knew something shook their heads.

"Then what is the relationship between him and Li Hongzhang? Is it a brother?"

"The two are not related in the slightest, it's just a coincidence. If you want to say that there is a relationship, it is that they are officials in the same dynasty, they are all from Jinshi, and they are all second-generation officials!

What is even more interesting is that one of them is the leader of the Westernist faction, who advocates emulating the West, and is also the main peace faction, and the other is the Qing school, which advocates the preservation of Confucian traditions, and is the main battle faction. The two are politically opposed, incompatible, and are hostile political enemies. ”

"I've never heard of a name, and the reserve price is one million, too expensive, right?"

"This price is not expensive at all, on the contrary, it is very cheap, in fact, the Jinhe auction may have taken into account the issue of fame, so the low price was marked. If you meet someone who knows the goods, it is not a problem to sell it at a good price.

Not to mention that this bloodstone is a rare top grade, Li Hongzao himself, but one of the three generations of emperors, one of the eight people in the Qing Dynasty who received the nickname of 'Wenzheng' after his death, this is a nickname that Li Hongzhang did not get. ”

As long as you have a little understanding of history, you will know the status of the two words "Wenzheng", it can be said that these two words are the highest glory that the civil officials of all dynasties dreamed of!

The nickname is a title given to the deceased emperors, ministers, and nobles according to their life events, and then given either praise or depreciation or sympathy, which began in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Zhou Gongdan and Jiang Ziya made great contributions to the Zhou room, and they were reprimanded after their deaths, which was the beginning of the law.

There are two main points in the legal system, one is that the name should be in line with the deceased's personality, and the other is that the name is assessed and awarded by others after death. The title of the monarch is determined by the official of ceremonies, announced by the enthroned emperor, and the title of the minister is given by the imperial court.

The nickname is judgmental, which is equivalent to the conclusion of the coffin.

The civil official nickname is "Wenzheng" as the highest, which originated from Sima Guang in the Song Dynasty.

The Northern Song Dynasty inherited the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, with Wenzhen as the highest. By the time of Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, in order to avoid secrecy, Wen Zhen was changed to Wen Zheng.

Sima Guang proposed: "Wen is the extreme beauty of the text, which cannot be added", and believes that "Wen" is the moral knowledge, and "Zheng" is the position of the Jing Gong, which is the extreme morality of the literati.

After his preaching, "Wenzheng" was regarded as a very beautiful nickname for people and ministers from then on.

Nicknames are usually formulated by civil officials, so the nicknames of military generals are usually not as outstanding as those of civilian officials, and those with special contributions are usually given to the prefix of loyalty.

The name of the ultimatum is the highest in Zhongwu, which originated from Zhuge Liang's nickname Zhongwuhou.

Because Zhuge Liang can be regarded as the highest ideal of ancient Chinese courtiers, his nickname has become the highest evaluation of courtiers in later generations.

Guo Ziyi, who has made a contribution to the reinvention of the Tang Dynasty and was crowned a king with a different surname, can live a long and good life in his life, so he is loyal to the martial arts.

Yue Fei was originally unjustly killed, and Zhao Gou was later rehabilitated, originally called Wu Mu, and was already the third best among the generals, but after the next generation, he was rehabilitated and changed to loyal to Wu, which is considered a god.

However, the people are still used to calling him Yue Wumu.

According to the history books, the Shu Han regime gave Guan Yu the nickname of Zhuang Miaohou.

"Zhuang" means that Guan Yu is brave and strong, and he is brave and brave, but "Miao" means that the name and reality are cool and called "Miao", that is, it is difficult to match the meaning of fame.

Later, Guan Yu was constantly respected by all generations, and the nickname of "Zhuang Miao" was a little ugly, and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty changed Guan Yu's nickname to Zhongyi for the sake of rule.

What about Zhao Yun? This nickname says that Zhao Yunping is close to people and works smoothly, that is, he is just a good person. The meaning of the word "ping" is "Hui Wu Neide is flat".

This one is more powerful, it simply makes it clear that Zhao Yun is not qualified to pursue him.

It is estimated that Zhao Yun's pursuit is due to the master's personal gratitude to him, Jiang Wei and others disagreed, but they couldn't resist the leader, so they had to play some small tricks to fool people.
