"Mr. Wu, you are already a VIP customer of our Jiade, and you can get your hands on the auction in advance in the future, as well as various party ......"

50 million makes Wu Tianyuan a senior member of Jiade and enjoys a qiē benefit, and he is now also a person who can enter and exit Jiade Baoli's warehouse!

It is not in vain, even if it is the opponent of Chen Dongsheng, Wang Yuanqi's Ten Views of the West Lake is still collected, and it has officially become the fourth series of Ten Views of the West Lake in Wu Tianyuan's hands.

Two days later, Wu Tianyuan appeared on the stall on Mawang Road in Changsha, Zhongzheng and Tianyuan were on the right track, and he finally had the opportunity to come out to hunt for treasures. With everything in hand, you always have to prepare for the next sale.

"According to Niu Feng's data research, the treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom may be in Changsha!"

In 1853, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established its capital in Tianjing, now Nanjing. The Kingdom of Heaven promulgated the "Sacred Treasury" system. This system requires that no military or civilian property be allowed to hide property privately, and all personal or seized property must be handed over to the holy treasury, which is equivalent to the current state treasury. In order to ensure that this system could be implemented well, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established very strict discipline. Anyone who possesses more than five taels of silver in his possession will be punished and even sentenced to death.

So how much treasure is hidden in the Holy Treasury? Regarding its amount, Zhang Jigeng, a spy of the Qing army who had infiltrated Tianjing City, said in a letter to Xiang Rong, commander of the Jiangnan battalion of the Qing army, that when the Taiping army occupied Nanjing, it transported a large amount of silver and hid it in the "holy treasury", a total of more than 18 million taels, and the approximate location was in the Lantern Lane of Shuiximen.

In 1864, Tianjing, which had been besieged by the Hunan army for many years, finally fell, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom perished. Zeng Guoquan led the Hunan army to kill and loot the streets and alleys of Tianjing City like wolves and tigers, and the key targets of his search were the Tianwang Mansion and hundreds of royal palaces and other officials' residences scattered throughout the city.

Although the Hunan army used various methods to fish out all the floating wealth on the ground in Nanjing, they never found the so-called "holy treasury" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the treasures of the legendary Heavenly King's Mansion. The frenzied Hunan army demolished houses, dug holes, and dug ponds everywhere in the city, and did not hesitate to dig three feet into the ground to search for the "vault" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

In order to find out the exact location of the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zeng Guoquan once strictly interrogated Li Xiucheng, a loyal king who was familiar with the situation in the Heavenly Kingdom, but Li Xiucheng replied lightly, "There is no silver and rice in the treasury" and "There is no gold and silver in the house". In the end, Zeng Guofan had no choice but to report to the imperial court that in addition to the discovery of the "pseudo jade seal" of the two parties and the "golden seal" of the other party, Hong Xiu found nothing in the cellar of the king's mansion. The so-called hidden treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are just rumors.

However, it seems that things are not so simple. According to folklore, it is likely that this cunning Zeng Guoquan had already obtained a large amount of treasure from Hong Xiuquan's cellar when he was reporting, but he kept it secret and wanted to keep it for himself. For example, the "Shanghai Xinbao" at that time reported that when Zeng Guofan's wife returned to her hometown of Changsha in Hunan from Nanjing, she used more than 200 ships to transport luggage. This cannot but make one wonder if the gold and silver treasures that Brother Zeng had plundered from Tianjing were hidden in this batch of luggage.

"Back then, Emperor Tongzhi was afraid of the Zeng brothers, even if he was suspicious, he did not trace the whereabouts of the treasure again, according to Niu Feng's clues, Changsha is the old nest of Zeng Guofan, leaving at least a lot of clues."

Wu Tianyuan didn't go to Nanjing, he didn't find anything there for so many years, and it may not be useful to go. On the contrary, it is possible in Changsha, after all, the thief is not empty, not to mention that the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan has fought for a long time, can there be any benefit?

So as soon as he arrived in Changsha, he went straight to the most famous antique city and stalls, and listened to whether there were any clues left at that time, every time it was like this, as long as he could find one, it was a big string of melons.

Changsha is the place where Mawangdui was unearthed, and it is also an ancient city, but there are many shops and stalls here. Wu Tianyuan listened while turning, to see if he had any luck?

"This is Zeng Guofan's family letter?"

When passing by a used bookstall he was moved, he squatted down quietly, flipped through it for a while, and found several old letters, one of which turned out to be Zeng Guofan's family letter.

"A hundred yuan a book, choose whatever!"

The stall owner is also real, they are all old books and newspapers collected from the scrap station, and they can choose from a hundred. Wu Tianyuan paid the money, found a place to sit down, and began to interrogate.

"There is a treasure near the tomb of Zeng Guofan in Changsha?"

"Yes, when he wrote about me, there were many brothers, and one of them specially arranged for his henchmen to hide the treasure, which should be there."

Wu Tianyuan hurriedly rented a car, brought tools, and went treasure hunting. The tomb of Zeng Guofan is located 15 kilometers southwest of Changsha City, on the Fulong Mountain behind Tongxi Temple, Pingtang Street, Yuelu District. The treasure is not here, but under the more remote section of the ancient city wall, where no one around, began to work.

"Day, this is the rhythm of being an emperor?"

This time, he didn't dig a few times before he found the treasure chest, and as soon as he opened it, Wu Tianyuan was frightened and hurriedly left here first.

"You're the Tianzi No. 16 Proton Knife?"

"Dizi No. 6 Tiger Armor Knife?"

"Herringbone Nine Warrior?"

Back in the underground parking lot of the hotel, Wu Tianyuan first took out three Qianlong imperial treasure knives and chatted carefully.

Tianzi waist knife is the Qianlong Emperor in recognition of the respect of the ancestors, the waist knife cast by decree, during the reign of a total of 90 decrees, divided into heaven, earth, people, each series of 30, now most of the hidden in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

The knife is a white jade handle, the blade is engraved with an auspicious dragon flying pattern, the steel knife is near the handle with a wrong gold, silver, red copper wire pattern, one side is "Tianzi No. 17" and "Proton" knife name.

On the other side is the "Qianlong year" section, and the next paragraph is a dragon flying between the auspicious clouds, indicating the meaning of the "Proton" of the knife name. The scabbard is made of wood, covered with golden peach skin. In 2012, Tianzi No. 17 Proton waist knife was exhibited at the Nanjing Jiade Autumn Auction and finally sold for 48.3 million yuan.

"You're a dragon robe?"

"I am a Qianlong blue silk flat gold and silver embroidered cloud dragon pattern robe, which I usually wear in the Heart Cultivation Palace."

"I am Lord Shunzhi's embroidered colorful cloud gold dragon pattern robe, which was originally enshrined in the Yihe Palace, and was later taken out of the palace."

"And me, the Qianlong Imperial Twelve Chapters of Dragon Robe inlaid with pearl yellow satin is a formal dress worn by the court every day!"

Wu Tianyuan picked up the twelve chapters of the dragon robe, which he had the impression of, there were only six in total, four of which were overseas, and there was a similar one in the Forbidden City, this should be the second pearl-inlaid yellow satin dragon robe in China!

"Look at the freshwater pearls on my body, they are selected, they come from the Songhua River and Heilongjiang, and the crown and the east pearl are all used in this. There are also these four pairs of five-clawed dragons, how domineering they are. ”

Wu Tianyuan took a simple look and didn't dare to open it, if this was discovered in ancient times, it would be a great crime to exterminate the Nine Clans.

"There are a few of us, the imperial wrench, the fangzhai use, the red sandalwood box. It says Lianzhong Sanyuan, I am white jade, he is green jade, and topaz. ”

Wu Tianyuan hurriedly wrapped the treasure knife in the dragon robe and ran back to the room from the stairs, this is the emperor's suit? Dragon robe, treasure knife and wrench!

Except for the dragon robe, which is a little dirty, the other treasures are as bright as new, especially the Three Treasure Knife, which is cold and shiny, and extremely sharp.

"Go back and find someone to clean up the dragon robe, this time it didn't come in vain, it was directly the rhythm of ascending the throne to the court!

"When the museum is finished, I will also put on a dragon robe, bring a wrench, pick up the treasure knife, and experience the majesty of Lord Qianlong!"

Wu Tianyuan looks forward to playing as much as he wants in his own museum in the future, cool!
