"If you don't agree to cooperate, it's true that you can only see the two of you. Wen Jia was the disciple of Yao Guangsheng, the elder of the Xuanmen Sect, and he will be your right-hand man in the future, and he can see him now. Jiang Yingnian didn't reply, and opened the door with his hand.

When the two came to the reception room, Director Zeng and Tang Zhanyun were stunned, thinking why did Director Jiang come to the reception room?

Director Zeng got up and introduced Wen Jia, "Mr. Wen, this is Director Jiang." ”

"Hello Director Jiang!" Wen Jia quickly raised her head and lowered her head, her gaze still resting on the "Jia Dun True Secret Collection".

"Huh?" Suddenly, Wen Jia seemed to react, and couldn't help but stand up, "Director Jiang? Aren't there only two people? ”

Tang Yi smiled, stepped forward and patted Wen Jia on the shoulder, "Let's go, talk while eating." ”

The canteen of the collection office is on the first floor of the five-story building next to the main building, and the canteen hall is roughly divided into three areas, including a special snack area, a buffet area, and a single room area.

Director Jiang led everyone to a single room door by the small door in the corridor. Tang Yi looked up, and the name of the single room was written on the door frame: Xia Ding.

"It's kind of interesting." Tang Yi didn't enter the door, but looked at the names of the other single rooms, and sure enough, since there is Xia Ding, there is Shang Yi, Xia Ding Shang Yi.

Tang Yi continued to read with interest, there were actually Sui Zhu, Hebi, Qin bricks, and Han tiles, all of which were more elegant and general names, but on the innermost single room, there were four-word names written on them.

Zhaoling Six Horses.

At this time, everyone also followed Tang Yi to this single room.

"Director Jiang, is this Zhaoling Six Horses also the task you want to complete? But now there are two pieces in the Penn Museum in the old United States, and I am afraid that this historical legacy problem cannot be solved. Tang Yi asked.

"You can be quite observant, and you can see the innermost single room. Let's go, talk while eating. Jiang Yingnian smiled and led everyone back to the "Xia Ding" room.

The meals are already set on the table, and they are all home-cooked.

"We grow a lot of our own food here, and we have a vegetable patch in the backyard, which is absolutely green. Pork and chicken are also bought from nearby villages. Come on, eat some first, there is a beer in the refrigerator. Jiang Yingnian greeted.

The crowd was indeed hungry, so they started to eat with chopsticks, but no one drank.

"These Zhaoling Six Horses, if they are put now, they will definitely not be smuggled out!" Zeng Shiyin actually provoked the conversation first. No wonder, he did this, thinking that two of the six horses were transported out of China in the early years of the Republic of China, he was a little breathless.

Zhaoling is the mausoleum of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. The six horses of Zhaoling are the six bluestone horse reliefs on the east and west sides of the altar in the north of Zhaoling. The six horses are about the same size as real horses, about one meter seven tall and two meters wide.

"Haha, Zeng Ju first think about how to stop the Ruyao Lotus Brush Wash from flowing out!" Tang Yi said. He didn't mean to stimulate Zeng Shiyin, but he was really concerned about this treasure of the Shanhai Provincial Museum. With that, Tang Yi nodded heavily at Zeng Shiyin.

Zeng Shiyin is not a person with a small belly, and when he saw Tang Yi's expression, he also understood the meaning and nodded.

Tang Yi continued: "I haven't seen the real thing of the six horses of Zhaoling, but I have seen the pictures, high relief, simple lines, vivid shapes, just looking at the pictures have a sense of substitution, as if they are in the field, thrilling!" ”

"I've seen it in museums, and the painters and knives are superb." Jiang Yingnian shook his head, "It's a pity that the two pieces that are missing, Fist Mao (gua) and Sa Lu Zi are replicas." ”

The reason why there are six stone carvings in Zhaoling is because these six horses are all war horses, and they were all ridden and fought by Li Shimin. In addition to Jiang Yingnian's boxing and sa Luzi, the other four are: Shivachi, Baihuwu, Tellebi, and Qinghu.

Although it contains the Turkic language of the time, it is a little difficult to read, but it still feels very exciting! Is there wood?

As for the artistic level of the six horses of Zhaoling, needless to say, it was completed by Yan Lide and Yan Liben brothers. Yan Lide is a master craftsman, Yan Liben is a master of painting, even at that time, it is a rare art treasure.

In addition to the artistic level, it has to be mentioned that the six horses of Zhaoling are rare realistic works in the stone carvings of the Tang Dynasty. You can imagine what kind of impact such a war horse guarding the imperial tomb will bring you, with an arrow on your body and fire in your eyes?

In the mausoleums of the Han Dynasty, there were many stone beasts, but they were all tigers and sheep, and they were not divine beasts such as Tianlu and evil spirits. The Terracotta Warriors of the Qin Emperor have a large number of horses, but which one has a name?

From the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the six horses of Zhaoling have been preserved in Zhaoling, but in the early years of the Republic of China, something happened.

"By the way, Director Jiang, there are many versions of the six horses of Zhaoling being smashed and shipped out of the country, and there are all kinds of things to say, it's too messy. You're a veteran, tell us what you know, and you have to have a topic if you don't drink, right? Zeng Shiyin said with a smile.

"Today's theme was originally to talk about the big plan to regulate the antique market, and Tang Yi has promised me, so they are not outsiders. Since you mentioned it, let's take it as an episode. Jiang Yingnian responded.

When Tang Wuxin and Wen Jia heard this, they thought to themselves, it turned out that Director Jiang was looking for Tang Yilai, this was the biggest purpose! They are not averse to this matter, not to mention that the relationship between them and Tang Yi is extraordinary.

However, they also want to hear about the past of the six horses of Zhaoling now. They also knew that in the early years of the Republic of China, a large number of foreigners were active in China, and there were many people who stole and sold cultural relics. Back then, there were definitely more than enough people who were eyeing the six horses of Zhaoling.

"This stone carving is no better than anything else, and you have to smash it down if you want to carry it away." Jiang Ying's introduction began.

In May 1913, the six horses of Zhaoling, which had been preserved in Zhaoling for more than 1,000 years, were finally smashed down by a group of thieves hired by foreigners.

In the process of transporting them down the mountain, they were surrounded by local villagers who heard the wind, and as a result, the two horses were pushed off the cliff. Later, it was taken away by the authorities.

The one who got the two horses was Lu Jianzhang, the overseer of Shaanxi at that time. Coincidentally, at this time, Yuan Shikai, who had just become the president, was building a private garden, and Lu Jianzhang wanted to offer two horses, which was really an authentic sycophant. As a result, after being transported to the capital for a long time, Yuan Shikai died with a whimper! Yuan Shikai's second son Yuan Kewen didn't want it because it was broken.

These two horses were sold to an antique dealer named Lu Qinzhai.

Jiang Yingnian mentioned Lu Qinzhai, Tang Yi remembered, this Lu Qinzhai, in some Western materials, said that he was the messenger of spreading Eastern culture, and in some writings of the Chinese people, he was naturally scolded as a dealer in cultural relics who betrayed the country and sought wealth.

"Lu Qinzhai is a person who is notorious, but he has a wide range of channels. It is said that Huang Zhenwu, the first head of the Wugu Sealed Lamp, also had contact with him. Jiang Yingnian took a bite of food and paused slightly.
