"Song Zhenzong!"

For a moment, Wang Guan thought about it, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, forgot it. The manuscript can't be related to him, but Song Zhenzong is very reliable. After all, the silk paper of the manuscript is from the Song Dynasty, and in addition to the life and deeds of Confucius, there is also an "irrelevant" person called Song Zhenzong, who may have some connection.

No, not for sure, but for sure there is some connection.

At the right time, Wang Guan asked directly: "Old Qian, do you mean to say that the painting in the Holy Miracle Temple, at the beginning, began with Song Zhenzong?" ”

If you think about it, it's not impossible. After all, during the reign of Song Zhenzong, Daxing Xiangrui, sealing Mount Tai in the east, worshipping Fenyang in the west, whitewashing the Taiping, and building Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, and holding a ceremony to seal Zen.

The so-called Feng Chan refers to the large-scale ceremony of sacrificing heaven and earth by ancient Chinese emperors in the peaceful and prosperous times or when the heavens descended auspiciously. It is generally held in Mount Tai, because in the minds of the ancients, Mount Tai is the highest among the mountains, and it is the first mountain in the world, so the emperor of the world should go to the highest Mount Tai to worship the emperor of heaven, and then he is ordered by the sky.

Of course, it should also be noted that the ceremony of enclosing Zen is not something that can be held by just anyone. China has a history of thousands of years, and aside from the cases that are not easy to study before the pre-Qin period, there are only a handful of people who have really enshrined Zen in Mount Tai.

Qin Shi Han Wu, this is inevitable, and then in the Tang Dynasty, even Tang Taizong Li Shimin, known as the Heavenly Khan, wanted to go to Zen with his merits, but was opposed by the ministers of the court, and finally failed. Li Shimin did not seal Zen, but his son Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, these two held a ceremony in Mount Tai.

After that, there was Song Zhenzong, who directed a farce in which the book of heaven fell from the sky.

It stands to reason that Song Zhenzong is not qualified to be a Zen canon, after all, in the concept of the ancients. There are conditions for the emperor to seal Zen. That is, the peaceful and prosperous era or the auspicious rain from the sky, the emperor during the reign, as long as he has either of the two conditions, he can be enshrined in Zen.

The two conditions are very vague and difficult to assess. Li Shimin is the tragedy here, because at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the moment of recuperation, the court officials felt that it did not meet the standards of the peaceful and prosperous times, and it was not suitable to hold a Zen sealing ceremony, so they competed against each other. There are many people who oppose it, and Li Shimin has no choice. I had to give up this opportunity to publicize my merits.

Even Li Shimin did not seal Zen, so Song Zhenzong must not be qualified enough. After all, even Song Taizu and Song Taizong, who were still wise, didn't dare to go to Feng Zen, but Song Zhenzong dared to go, what a thick skin it should take.

Speaking of Song Zhenzong, he is the third son of Song Taizong, neither the eldest son, nor the queen, and was originally not qualified to inherit the throne. But because Taizong's eldest son went crazy and the second son died violently, it was his turn to succeed to the throne. In this case, it should be regarded as being hit by a pie falling from the sky. It's a very fortunate thing.

However, the ancients said that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, which is not unreasonable.

Song Zhenzong is like this, even if he becomes a prince. After the death of Song Taizong, he was extremely happy and sad, and immediately encountered a palace coup d'état jointly planned by the eunuch Wang Jien and the empress dowager. Fortunately, the ministers of the DPRK and China rescued him, and he successfully ascended the throne.

However, what is even more tragic is that at that time, the Liao and Song states were not peaceful, and wars often broke out. Within a few years of Song Zhenzong's accession to the throne, he encountered the Liao State invaded the south with the strength of the whole country, and the bank of the Yellow River was drunk, and the blade approached Bianjing.

When the people were panicking, fortunately, Kou Zhun turned the tide and persuaded Song Zhenzong to drive the expedition in person, and after the morale was great, he severely frustrated the spirit of the Liao army. However, he signed the alliance of the Yuanyuan, creating a bad example of seeking peace by losing coins.

Perhaps, also realizing that this is a shame, Song Zhenzong simply did not want to face the facts with an ostrich mentality, and even wanted to deceive himself and others, but also wanted to deceive even the people of the world, creating a false impression that the world was peaceful and the country was peaceful and the people were safe. Anyway, under his instructions, many auspicious times have appeared in various parts of the country to show the peaceful and prosperous times.

In the end, he simply ignored the opposition of many courtiers and went directly to Mount Tai to seal Zen.

It was these absurd moves that made the treasury, which was originally financially healthy, suddenly empty, leaving a mess for Song Renzong, and then there were things such as the Qingli New Deal and Wang Anshi's law change.

It may be that Song Zhenzong tossed around like this, so that after him, no emperor in the Song Dynasty also went to seal Zen, and he did not have this kind of cheekiness to seal Zen. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang simply canceled the ceremony of sealing Mount Tai and changed it to a sacrifice.

In other words, Song Zhenzong was the last emperor to seal Mount Tai, so Wang Guan also had some impressions. And Mount Tai is in Tai'an, Lu Province, not far from Qufu, since you have come to Mount Tai, you must not care about more than one trip to Qufu, to pay homage to the Confucian saint, in order to show respect for the reader.

Song Zhenzong really did this, after sacrificing Confucius in Qufu, he not only rewarded many things, but also improved the standard treatment of the Confucian family, and maybe expanded the Confucian temple......

"Of course, those are trivialities."

At this time, Wang Guan was curious: "Old Qian, looking at your appearance, it seems that you know whose handwriting the holy miracle map comes from?" ”

"It feels like you're alone."

Qian Lao said with a smile: "As far as I know, in the period of Song Zhenzong, there was a painter who studied under Wu Daozi, and his style was full of the charm of Wu Daozi, which was very similar to Wu Daozi. ”

"When this person was seventeen years old, he painted the wall of the Laozi Temple in Beibi Mountain, which is exquisite. Later, he painted the thirty-six heavenly emperors in the Shangqing Palace in Luoyang, among which Chiming and Yangtian Emperor painted the appearance of Song Taizong, Zhenzong saw it, and sighed the god of his brush. ”

Qian Lao smiled and said: "During the Jingde period of Song Zhenzong, the imperial court built the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, summoned 3,000 painters from all over the world, and only 100 people were selected, divided into two parts, and this person was appointed as the head of the left department......"

"Old Qian, you're talking about Wu Zongyuan!"

Wang Guan's mind became active, and he instantly thought of a person: "The author of the Chaoyuan Immortal Scepter Diagram, the follower of Wu Daozi's painting style, and the person whose painting method is closest to Wu Daozi." ”

"That's right, it's him." Qian Lao smiled: "Apart from him, I really can't think of anyone in the Song Dynasty who can depict this kind of character with flying spirits, fluttering clothes, sparse and dense lines, and strong and smooth white drawings." ”

"Yes, that's right."

Wang Guan thought about it and said deeply: "Wu Zongyuan was active in the Song Zhenzong period, the period must be right, and the best thing is murals, according to historical records, he painted many murals in Luoyang and Kaifeng. For example, the statue of the 36 emperors of the Shangqing Palace in Luoyang, the picture of the Holy Emperor of Zhongyue Tianfengguan, the emperor of Xuchang Longxing Temple, the statue of Zhan Tanrui painted by the Tibetan Academy and so on. ”

"But it's a pity that those are all murals, or natural disasters, or man-made disasters, and they have not been handed down. There is only one picture of the Chaoyuan immortal scepter, which is the powder of the mural, which was framed into a painting, and has been handed down to this day. ”

While speaking, Wang Guan sighed lightly: "But things are ...... in the United States."

"The world is changing bizarrely, and this is also a helpless thing, you can't force it, don't care too much." Qian Lao persuaded a few words, and then said with a smile: "Besides, your luck is not bad, this long scroll of Confucius's holy miracles should be a sample of the painting and engraving of the Holy Miracle Temple, but let the Confucian family carefully preserve it." I have to say, it's a great blessing. ”

"That's right, it's not just my luck, it's everyone's luck." Wang Guan smiled cheekily.

"Huh."

Qian Lao smiled and suddenly asked, "The next stop of the treasure tour should be Hefei, right?" ”

"Yes."

Wang nodded and said: "It should have been arranged in Nanjing, but considering that the two cities are relatively close, and the next stop in Hefei is Shanghai, people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang can go to see it, so I will not arrange Nanjing." Now the main thing is to let everyone have a rough enjoyment, and when this wave of craze comes down, it will be carefully arranged in each first-tier city......"

"Hmm."

Qian Lao agreed, and then muttered: "In this case, you go to Shanghai, replace the Holy Grail before the tour, and take the opportunity to launch this long scroll of Confucius's holy miracles." ”

“…… Money old. ”

When Wang Guan heard this, he immediately thought for a moment and said, "Is there already someone who has begun to notice the Holy Grail?" ”

"Almost." Qian Lao nodded slightly: "These days, there have been many people who have been listening to me. In this case, simply let them be anxious, not afraid that they will be indifferent. ”

"No problem......"

Wang Guan agreed with great interest, rested in the capital for two days, and came directly to Shanghai. Not long after getting off the plane, he received a call from Yu Feibai.

On the phone, Yu Feibai inevitably complained about it. Speaking of which, it has been more than a month since Yu Feibai went home to celebrate his grandmother's birthday, and the birthday banquet must have passed. However, because his grandmother is a little comfortable, his parents are busy with business, and his eldest brother has to take care of his wife and newborn child, he definitely has no time to accompany him.

But by the old man's side, there must always be someone to accompany him, so this errand naturally fell on Yu Feibai, so that he missed a lot of excitement, which naturally made him sigh.

"Okay, it's better not to be you, so you don't have to worry about the world not being chaotic, but messing things up." Wang Guan smiled: "Say, what's the matter with me?" You can't just complain, right? ”

"It's not that I have something to look for you, it's Lu Chongming." Yu Feibai said casually: "This guy works behind closed doors, and he doesn't listen to what is going on outside the window, and the news naturally becomes closed." A few days ago, I learned about the treasure tour, and knowing that there were these rare treasures, he couldn't sit still, and ran to Hefei to visit, but found that there was no ticket for a long time, so he had to stare outside the exhibition hall. ”

"No, it's coming to me. If I'm not careful, I'll sell you. ”

Yu Feibai was very calm: "This is the situation, he is also in Shanghai now, although he has also got tickets, but he wants to go through the back door and enjoy it up close......"

"Little things." Wang Guan said briskly: "I'll contact him directly later." ”

"Okay, that's right!"

At this moment, Yu Feibai hesitated: "Listening to what he meant, it seems that there is something else besides viewing the treasures, and I want your help......

"What's the matter?" Wang Guan was naturally a little surprised.

"I don't know, you can ask him yourself." (To be continued......)
