Chapter 438. Tongue wars of Confucianism
Seeing that Lin Yi stood up, he actually said that this ancient book was a rare treasure, and as Old Lady Chen said, it was priceless. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mike Lee and the others all laughed out loud, and said in their hearts, even if they shoot sycophants, they don't shoot like this. Is it worth a fortune? It's just the Qing Dynasty Kaihua paper engraved "Song Huizong Imperial Moral Scripture Interpretation", the highest price of 800,000 is already good, and the four words "priceless" have nothing to do with it.
Mike Lee, who had already decided that Lin Yi was bragging, lost no time in standing up and saying, "God, I almost forgot." I am honored to introduce to you this gentleman who stood up and determined that this ancient book is of great value, that is, --- Lin Yi, the appraisal consultant of the New Century Auction Company and a well-known collector of ancient books in the mainland, --- the ancient book collector. ”
"As the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains, presumably this Mr. Lin Yi's understanding of this ancient book is much higher than that of all of us, so we are likely to see all of them, but others have a discerning eye...... So let's hear what he has to say for a moment. Mike Lee's words were sneering and full of disdain for Lin Yi.
The manager Huang Kunhuang who went all the way with him was even more smacked and said: "It turns out that there is a master here, the New Century Company is really a talented --- niece, don't let us underestimate it!" The tone was also full of mockery.
Haitang reached out and shook Lin Yi's hand disapprovingly, gave him encouragement, and looked at him with his eyes, meaning to say, I believe in you.
The two employees of the New Century Company next to them were both red-faced, and they couldn't hear what people were saying. Besides, as long as you are discerning, you know how much an ancient book of the Qing Dynasty can be worth, and it is only a million to be killed. However, the appraiser of his own company said that it was invaluable, and if he couldn't produce evidence, wouldn't he be ashamed.
Why are these two staff members so unconfident in Lin Yi, to put it bluntly, Lin Yi still stays in Hong Kong for too little time, and he doesn't help the company handle business a lot, so this staff member doesn't know how much ability and strength he has at all.
……
In the face of everyone's ridicule and sarcasm, Lin Yi was still calm, looking at Haitang's concerned eyes, he smiled, then glanced around, and said to everyone: "Just now I listened carefully to everyone's appraisal and opinions on this "Interpretation of the Imperial Moral Scriptures of Song Huizong", and most of them I agree with, but there is one thing I want to add. ”
Seeing that Lin Yi spoke, as if he was about to say something, everyone looked at him to see how he explained.
"The previous excellent appraisers said that this "Interpretation of the Imperial Moral Scriptures of Song Huizong" is a civilized paper, a clear engraving book, and an Eryouzhai version, and I agree with these points. However, Mr. Mike Li said that Song Huizong's commentary on the scriptures was completely for fame and prestige, and there was no value worth studying in terms of content. I don't agree with that! ”
Mike Lee's face was ugly, he didn't expect Lin Yi to be so straightforward, saying that his opinion was wrong, so he laughed and said: "Why, dear Lin, do you think that the Tao Te Ching made by this Song Dynasty Dujun is still very valuable?" ”
Lin Yi did not directly respond to Mike Lee's question, but continued to say with a smile: "As we all know, the emperors of the Song Dynasty all admired Taoism, and this Emperor Huizong was the same, even more obsessed. He did an exposition of the Tao Te Ching, and it was true. But what everyone doesn't know is that he has done two commentaries for the Tao Te Ching, once when he was emperor, and once after he was captured by the Jin State. ”
As soon as Lin Yi's words came out, those appraisers were immediately stunned, and then Mike Lee carefully looked at the specific content of the Tao Te Ching interpretation.
Unfortunately, none of them are specialized connoisseurs of ancient books, but they can't tell when this commentary was written. even thought that Lin Yi was talking nonsense.
Lin Yi was not in a hurry, and continued: "The Tao Te Ching is the supreme treasure of Taoism, and since ancient times, there have been countless capable sages who have done scripture interpretations for it, such as Li Mi in the Tang Dynasty, Su Shi in the Song Dynasty, and Zhu Quan in the Ming Dynasty. When they were doing the commentary, because of the different environments and times, the content of the production was somewhat different. And the interpretation of the scriptures made by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty is also different from the two times. ”
Mike Lee's eyes moved, as if he had guessed something, so he interrupted Lin Yi's words and said first: "Listening to you say this, do you want to say that when Emperor Huizong was in power, he enjoyed the world with fine clothes and jade, and the interpretation of the Tao Te Ching made was different from the interpretation of the "Tao Te Ching" made by him after he was captured and tortured?" ”
I thought that expressing my opinion in this way would make Lin Yi's spirit a little frustrated, but I didn't expect Lin Yi to smile slightly and say, "If you say this, then it's wrong!" ”
Mike Lee sneered, "Oh, what's wrong? ”
Lin Yi smiled and said: "You are wrong, although Huizong was captured, he did not suffer all the humiliation and torture......
"Ah, what did you say?" This time, even the other appraisers frowned, as if they had heard some big joke.
Lin Yi explained slowly---
As the saying goes, it is better to believe in a book than to have no book at all.
Lin Yi likes to read and read, and prefers to collect books, so he also collects some special books. These books are different from those that claim to be true history, but give people a different side of history.
After all, history is written by the victors, and whether everything is true is debatable.
Lin Yi loves history, especially the Song Dynasty, which was the most prosperous cultural and economic development in China. Unfortunately, the Song Dynasty was divided into the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, especially at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, which was a sad "painful history" for many literati.
In the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, the shame of Jingkang is undoubtedly worthy of special mention, and the experience of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong's father and son has also aroused everyone's infinite sympathy.
In orthodox historical propaganda, the father and son suffered inhuman treatment in the Jin country, were imprisoned in a dry well, the wife was also insulted by the soldiers, and hundreds of family members were also divided, and they didn't even have to drink hot water, so they could only wash their faces with tears every day, how miserable it was.
But please note that history has always existed for propaganda, and the authorities want it to be what it is, and so this history has been completely alienated from generation to generation.
In fact, as long as you understand one fact, you will know, if the Second Emperor Huiqin is really so miserable, living in a dry well all the year round, and can't even eat hot food, then how many days can they live? But in fact, Huizong still lived for 8 years after being captured, and gave birth to 6 sons and 8 daughters; Qinzong lived for 28 years and gave birth to 4 children. So, don't believe the.
In fact, since the beginning of a generation of heroes, the Jin State has always been very lenient towards prisoners, and Wanyan Aguta once issued an edict to the officials and people of Yanjing: "Where the king goes, those who descend will forgive their sins, and the officials will still be there." "After the destruction of the Great Liao, the clans of the Liao State were also treated preferentially.
In the historical propaganda, Song Huizong was humiliated on the way to the north, dressed in tatters, and could only rely on himself to warm himself with a bonfire at night, and the queen was even insulted by a small leader, and Song Huizong could only watch and cry like a grandson. In fact, this is just people's imagination, and the more miserable Huizong is described, the more it can arouse everyone's sympathy and hatred for the country.
In fact, the person who escorted Song Huizong to the north was Wanyan Zongwang, the marshal of the Jin State, this person was "benevolent, benevolent, likes to read Buddhism, and is known as the 'Bodhisattva Prince' in the army", how could such a person be so humiliated by Song Huizong? Moreover, the person directly in charge of Song Huizong and his entourage is called A Jiti, who used to be from the Song Dynasty, he said: "I am a native of the Song Dynasty, and I feel his kindness in the Southern Dynasty, so I am not restrained in the road, but I am gentle and compassionate and abstain from guarding the left and right." ”
Therefore, on the way north, Song Huizong was not troubled, but lived a good life, "sending chickens, rabbits, fish, meat, wine and fruits every day", and was often invited by Wanyan Zongwang to watch the game together. When it was cold, Huizong also distributed "10,000 silk horses", and Huizong gave 150 horses to the clan to make winter clothes, as if it was still the emperor's style.
After arriving at the destination, Huizong was named "Duke of Dude" by Jin Taizong, and Qinzong was named "Marquis of Heavy Faint". Judging from these two titles, there is indeed a taste of insult, but what country is not like this when it comes to treating prisoners? That's the best treatment. Moreover, although the name is not good, the actual treatment is not bad at all.
According to the official system of the Jin State, the "Dude Gong" belongs to the second grade, and the level is equivalent to the left and right, the deputy marshal, and the Yu Lu is "one hundred and fifty stones for each of the Qian Su, twenty-two for each of the Qu Mi Mai, twenty-two for each of the Chunluo and Autumn Silk, eighty for each of the silk, and three hundred and fifty taels of cotton." "Heavy Dusk Hou" belongs to the third grade, the level is equivalent to that of a general, and the salary is not low.
Moreover, a few years later, the two were crowned as "King of Tianshui County" and "Duke of Tianshui County", and their level was promoted to the first and second grades.
But don't get excited, this is just the beginning, and the happier is yet to come!
Although the Jin State is a nomadic people, but in the interaction with the Great Song Dynasty, it was gradually attracted by the culture of the Han people, especially in the royal family of the Jin State, forming an upsurge of actively learning Han culture, which used to learn from the people of the Song Dynasty, and now the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty have come, and the learning momentum is even more sufficient. Although Huizong is not good at governing the country, he is absolutely first-class in culture, and he is naturally happy to be their teacher.
Moreover, Huizong is not only their teacher, but also their father-in-law, what's going on? Because Huizong's eldest daughter married Jin Taizong's son, the sixth daughter also married Jin Taizong's nephew, the ninth daughter married Jin Taizong's fourth son, that is, the Jin Wushu that we are very familiar with, and the thirteenth and sixteenth daughters also married the royal family of Jin, so Huizong's status in Jin is absolutely extremely respectful.
After Jin Xizong came to power, he even lifted Huizong to the sky and married his three daughters at once. What's even more incredible is that perhaps because of the effect of the pillow wind, in just a few years, Jin Xizong actually killed almost all the high-ranking generals who participated in the destruction of the Song Dynasty.
……
After saying this, Lin Yi took a look at everyone, and then said: "There are also those who think that Emperor Huizong is very humiliated and has suffered inhuman torture, please raise your hand?" ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, all staring at each other. Because of their knowledge, they don't know whether this "history" that Lin Yi said is true or false? It's really deliberately made up to fool everyone, but it's still true, and history is like that.
Just when everyone was silent, Mike Lee, who had always been unconvinced by Lin Yi, suddenly laughed and said, "Even if what you say is the truth, so what? Still can't change the value of this ancient book! ”
Others also chimed in: "Yes, a king of a dead country, is there a big difference in the interpretation of the Tao Te Ching written before and after?"
Don't talk about these people, even Old Lady Chen and others are very curious, Lin Yi said so much, can this "Interpretation of the Imperial Tao Te Ching of Song Huizong" still be able to conjure flowers? !
The old fox Huang Kun couldn't help but sneer: "I said so much nonsense!" Where is this ancient book so valuable? Give a reason first! ”
The voice was very loud, which made people blush, but Lin Yi still had that calm expression, glanced at Huang Kun and Mike Li and others with a smile, and then said, "Everyone is drunk and I am sober!" Since you want to know the true value of this ancient book, I will do what you wish! (To be continued.) )
