Chapter 462: A Talk

"Wouldn't the five ancient sealed lamps also participate in the theft and sale of the six horses of Zhaoling, right? Huang Zhenwu can be regarded as a traitor to seek wealth, and just selling things to the Tokyo Historical Museum may be able to hold a small exhibition! If it weren't for the Tang Boss to take over later, I'm afraid there would be more things going out! Tang Yi saw that Jiang Yingnian stopped his introduction, and couldn't help but ask.

"You guess a little bit of a score. At that time, Huang Zhenwu wanted to connect the Tokyo Historical Museum, but the Tokyo Historical Museum was not strong at that time, and the price was too low, and Lu Qinzhai was not satisfied! And the old Penn Museum happened to catch up with a big event at that time. Jiang Yingnian said slowly.

In 1916, a dome of the Penn Museum was completed. 110 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a building of more than 30 floors.

The director of the Penn Museum at the time was named Gordon, and he wanted to celebrate and hold a major exhibition of Chinese art as the opening exhibition. So, he sent invitations to the big antique dealers around the world.

Lu Qinzhai is also among them.

At the same time, Lu Qinzhai thought that since the market of Laomei has not yet opened up, it is better to open up the situation.

Subsequently, he transported the two horses to Lao Mei.

In 1918, Gordon finally saw the two horses, and when he saw them, he was very happy, and immediately wrote a letter to Lu Qinzhai, intending to buy them.

At this time, the Tokyo Historical Museum was also working hard, but Lu Qinzhai's price was too high. How much does he cost? One hundred and fifty thousand dollars!

That's $150,000 about a hundred years ago, which was a lot of money at the time. Gordon didn't have that much money, but he basically agreed and started raising money everywhere.

These two horses are no longer in China, and the price is quite high, so the Tokyo Historical Museum finally gave up.

In 1920, with the donation of a philanthropist, the Penn Museum finally bought the two horses for 125,000 dollars. The two horses entered the display case of the Penn Museum.

It was precisely because of the regret that I did not buy the two horses, and because of the inspiration of the Penn Museum's exhibition of Chinese art, the Tokyo Museum of Historical Materials later began to hold an international exhibition every five years. And in each exhibition, most of them are ancient Chinese artworks. Jiang Yingnian's expression was a little serious.

"I can't imagine that there is such a historical origin." Tang Yi tapped the plate with chopsticks.

"What about the rest of the four horses? Why is it not in Zhaoling, but it is also displayed in our museum in China? Zeng Shiyin asked again.

"It is said that after Gordon learned in 1916 that only two of the six horses of Zhaoling had been smashed, he also found someone to steal the other four horses in China." Jiang Yingnian introduced: "After smashing the four horses, on the way to the provincial capital, in order to facilitate packing, the four horses were broken into several pieces. But in the end, under the pressure of public opinion from all sides, the Shaanxi overseers at that time sent the broken four horses to the Shaanxi Library. ”

In 1949, Sijun was transported from the library to the Hakukokan. Until today.

"I see!" The crowd was almost unanimous. The matter of the six horses of Zhaoling is so settled.

"For the return of the two horses, many people have made efforts, but there has been no substantial progress." Jiang Yingnian sighed, "The name of this single room is Zhaoling Liujun, just to remind us that when we eat behind closed doors, we should not forget that there are still such important antiquities that have not been collected." Sort of, a kind of symbolism. ”

"The heavens will eradicate the chaos of Sui, and the emperor will send six dragons. Calm and stormy, sassy and creepyΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Tang Yi couldn't help but chant a hymn to the six horses of Zhaoling by Zhang Lei, a Song person.

"I said, Director Jiang, you have made the atmosphere too heavy." Wen Jia said, "This matter is too far, even if it is in front of you, you can't even find the Yellow Palace body of the Xuanhuang Divine Lamp!" ”

Tang Yi felt a little in his heart, this trip to the antiquities base, so that Jiang Yingnian had such a theory, and suddenly felt that the pressure had risen a lot, "It's a matter of people, Director Jiang's big plan to standardize the antique market, there are still many things to do, let's work together, don't be afraid that things won't happen." ”

"According to our investigation, Konoping has indeed not shipped the Ruyao Lotus Pen Wash out of Huaxia, my next focus is on this matter, Tang Yi, if you have something, please contact us at any time." Zeng Shiyin made a gesture.

Tang Wuxin pondered for a while before he spoke: "Director Jiang, how much do we know about the life of Master Tang here?" ”

Jiang Yingnian smiled, "Old Tang, don't say it, Wen Jia just said that the atmosphere is too heavy, don't look at your This question is very serious, but when I think of the same name as Master Tang and Tang Yi, I feel a little comfortable." At that time, the five ancient sealed lamps were scattered because of the Tang master's resistance to the outflow of treasures, but now we want to rebuild it in order to resist the bad wind! ”

Scattered bear is the meaning of scattered gang, it is the dialect of Shanzhou, Tang Yi heard it, and thought that Director Jiang is really from Shanzhou, and at this age, he can still bring out the dialect.

"As for the life of Master Tang, we don't know much, this person is so mysterious that we don't know if he has descendants." Director Jiang continued.

"Oh." Tang Wuxin nodded, but then the question came again, "How did the tortoiseshell bone ring and the Five Emperors compass get into Huang Zhenwu's hands?" ”

"I have never seen tortoise shells and bone rings, and they are said to be sacrificed to the heavens before and after the Shang Dynasty. The tortoiseshell is on the altar, the wizard wears a bone ring, and the psychic is enlightened. As for how Huang Zhenwu got it, I really don't know. It's been too long, and this sect is too mysterious after all. Before Jiang Yingnian finished speaking, Tang Yi handed the bone ring to him.

"The tortoise shell has turned to ashes, you can appreciate the bone ring, I just talked about a big thing, I forgot."

Jiang Yingnian picked up the bone ring, "You have been wearing it on your hand, I have seen it." Keep this thing well, and it's no problem for you to block ten or eight disasters. ”

Then, Jiang Yingnian looked at Tang Wuxin again, and said, "That compass is imitation of the 'Tianxingjian' made by Yuan Tiangang, which seems to be a craft in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and it has nothing in itself. But this big five emperors are the five emperors left a special pattern coin, after thousands of years, the spirituality is extraordinary, these two combined, it has become the supreme magic weapon of divination! ”

Wen Jia suddenly said, "The money of the five emperors of the back of the Wen Dynasty seems to have come from Huang Zhenwu from a tufuzi, as for the compass, since it was from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, it was easy to understand that there were strange people at that time." ”

"The inheritance of antiquities is the most difficult to investigate, and there is a mouth, and there are different opinions. Strange people are hidden among the people, and there are countless of them. However, the head of Tang is versatile, but unfortunately, there are no apprentices. Jiang Yingnian replied slowly.

The topic slowly opened, and everyone talked about it roughly. What Tang Yi has to do is to quickly increase his strength first, and at the same time keep in touch with the descendants of the Five Ancient Sealed Lamps, who have no small energy, and find opportunities to strengthen the foundation of cooperation.

After finishing the meal, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone took their leave, ready to leave the restaurant directly.

Walking out of the building where the restaurant was located, Zeng Ju suddenly seemed to remember something, and shouted, "Oh, I just talked to you, how did I forget about this!" ”
