Chapter 259: Plotting to Rebel
"When I looked at the knife that my grandson brought back, it hurt in my heart, and I was so angry that I really wanted to beat him, but looking at his tearful little face, I had to coax him." Feng Qingshan sighed, "Originally, I wanted to find a professional to pull out the iron nail and then find a way to repair it, but the little guy had to let me pull it out and show him." β
Feng Qingshan shook his head, "I'll pull it out for him with pliers." β
Tang Yi suppressed his heart that was about to beat wildly, and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything in it?" β
"Hey, how do you know there's something?" Feng Qingshan asked suddenly.
"Uhγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» didn't you say hollow?" Tang Yi scratched his head.
"Did I say that?" Feng Qingshan turned his head to look at Tang Zhongfeng, thinking to himself that I only said to pull out the iron nails, where did I say that it was hollow!
Tang Zhongfeng saw that Tang Yi had a different expression, and thought to himself, although you didn't say it, if it wasn't hollow, how could the nail be pierced into it? Then he lied and said: "Lao Feng, you did say it!" β
"Oh!" Feng Qingshan no longer dwelled on this detail, "There is indeed something, it is a small roll of sheepskin!" β
"Maps?" Tang Yi didn't hold back again.
Tang Zhongfeng frowned, "You've read too many novels, haven't you?" β
"It's really not a map, it's just four words written in cinnabar." Feng Qingshan said: "Plotting to rebel." β
Tang Yi didn't say anything this time.
These four words are also too strange! Could it be that this pair of Zichen twin knives is used for rebellion? But rebellion can only be used in codes, how can you hide a volume of sheepskin with rebellion written with your eyes open? Besides, Chongzhen personally supervised the copper incense burner of the guilty self, and when it came to the copper furnace, he was originally the emperor, what kind of rebellion?
"It's a bit outrageous." Tang Yi asked again: "Only these four words?" Nothing else? "Well, I've watched it several times. If it weren't for a piece of sheepskin, but a piece of paper, I would have the heart to bubble in water! Feng Qingshan said.
"Lao Feng, your curiosity is quite strong!" Tang Zhongfeng said with a smile.
Feng Qingshan shook his head, "This knife is from the court of the Ming Dynasty, whoever puts it in his hand and makes a roll of sheepskin will also have curiosity, but the result is only these four inexplicable words!" β
After a little analysis, Tang Yi knew that Feng Qingshan was definitely not lying, if there really was something like a map or treasure, he wouldn't say it.
When you say it, it's basically true. Moreover, Feng Qingshan didn't know that he had the other of Zichen's twin knives in his hand.
Tang Yi really loves to ponder, and at this time he began to think blindly: In another embroidered spring knife, wouldn't it also be a piece of sheepskin with four words written on it? These four words are "plotting to rebel", and those four words are "great rebellionγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»", seeing that Tang Yi was distracted, Feng Qingshan smiled and said: "Xiao Tang, if you are really interested, when you finish eating, I will take you to see, that piece of sheepskin is in my store." β
Tang Yi nodded, "Then take a look, and send the flower pot to you by the way!" β
"You kid!" Feng Qingshan pointed at Tang Yi and laughed.
After eating, the three of them walked back to the antique street, and after transferring the money, Tang Yi and Feng Qingshan came to Lang Runxuan.
Feng Qingshan opened the drawer and took out a small roll of sheepskin, the sheepskin was not big, it was slightly larger than a cigarette case when unfolded, and it was handled very thinly, and it could be seen that there was no sandwich inside.
It may be because it has been sealed in the gauntlet of the knife, and the cinnabar on it is still bright red and dazzling, and it is indeed written from right to left in four traditional Chinese lines: plotting rebellion.
Holding this small sheepskin in his hand, Tang Yi was immediately attracted, although these four words are written on the sheepskin with cinnabar, not on rice paper with ink, but it can still be seen that the pen is good, just thin and hard, and the rhyme is solemn and wonderful, which is by no means the handwriting of ordinary people.
Chongzhen Royal Pen! The intuition in Tang Yi's mind suddenly rose!
In the ancient history of China, there were three emperors who could get a combined nickname. This nickname is insulting to the ancestors, but it can greatly affirm their artistic achievements.
Three masters of calligraphy in the dead country.
Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Zhao Ji of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhu Youzhen, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. The three of them can be regarded as the kings of the dead country, Li Yu surrendered, Zhao Ji was captured, and Emperor Chongzhen was a little bit of a scene and hanged himself.
However, their becoming emperors was a failure of failures, but in terms of calligraphy, they were all quite accomplished.
Li Yu's words are more famous than calligraphy, but calligraphy can still enter the ranks of first-class calligraphers. Song Huizong Zhao Ji's thin gold body was red and purple, and he created his own one, which went down in history.
The calligraphy of Emperor Chongzhen has been handed down very little, although there are occasional ink treasures that reward the common people in cloth clothes, but they can only be seen in the palace palace. What's more worth mentioning is that when Chongzhen ascended the throne, Da Ming's qi was exhausted, and he was as busy as a spinning top, and he basically had no time to practice calligraphy.
In other words, his calligraphy achievements basically relied on amateur practice before he became an emperor. He relied on talent.
Art, which is made by hard work and shown by talent, is often not the same taste. Chongzhen learned Dong Sibai at the beginning, and the cursive script also has the style of Huaisu. So much so that when the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty saw Chongzhen's calligraphy works, he was ashamed to say to himself: "What is the γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» of the word?"
Seeing that Tang Yi was holding a piece of sheepskin, Feng Qingshan said on the side: "Is there any mystery in these four words?" β
"There's no mystery." Tang Yi froze, "However, when I look at these four words, they look like Emperor Chongzhen's imperial pen." β
Feng Qingshan was taken aback, and immediately found a copy of "Collection of Calligraphy of Emperors of the Past Dynasties" from the store, turned out Chongzhen's calligraphy, and compared it with the words on the sheepskin.
"If you don't say it, I really haven't looked carefully, the dragon is in a tiger's position, and it's really unique! You say that Chongzhen is a king of a dead country, why is his calligraphy so imposing? Feng Qingshan muttered.
Tang Yi smiled, "The level of art has nothing to do with political talent. Emperor Chongzhen was indeed a calligrapher. β
Feng Qingshan naturally didn't know that the copper incense burner of the guilty self had anything to do with these two knives, and he didn't know the statement of "two knives and gods", so he guessed: "You say, could this be that Chongzhen found out who was suspected of rebellion and used this knife to send a signal to his cronies?" Does this matter have anything to do with the killing of Yuan Chonghuan? β
If Tang Yi hadn't seen the copper furnace and the god box, and didn't know that this was one of Zichen's two knives, he might agree with this speculation. However, since you have seen it and know the details, you can obviously deduce that Emperor Chongzhen definitely did not mean this.
However, he still admired Feng Qingshan's historical skills and imagination, "Jiang is still old and spicy, old man, you have a lot of insight!" β
Feng Qingshan said again: "It's really a lost horse, this sheepskin is quite valuable!" β
Tang Yi secretly thought, since the iron nails can be pierced into it, it means that the outside is only a very thin layer of iron sheet, should I go back and open the bottom of the handle of the embroidered spring knife?
