Chapter 174: Napoleon's suit

"Right here, go down and salvage, it should be nearby."

At this time, Wu Tianyuan realized the convenience of the dragon group, and in half an hour, Wang Jun found a speedboat and three divers, drove to the middle of the remote lake, and began to salvage.

"Got a treasure chest?"

Wang Hong is a girl after all, she is curious, and she secretly looks at Wu Tianyuan's confident appearance, she really doesn't understand how he determines the location of the treasure chest?

After a while, a large treasure chest was discovered, and several people quickly left the scene and drove back to the Red Mansion.

"Napoleon's Hundred Days Crown!"

"This is the Conqueror's Scepter, and I had to swear with it every time I went into battle!"

"And the queen's jewelry, how big is this ruby, I got it from Italy!"

A box of jewelry shocked the audience, Wu Tianyuan counted all the loot, more than 20 pieces of jewelry, all of which belonged to the queen. The most important thing is the Napoleonic crown and scepter, the symbol of French royalty.

Napoleon, also known as Napoleon I, was a great French military strategist and politician in the nineteenth century, and the founder of the First French Empire. He served as the First Consul of the First French Republic and the First Emperor of the French Empire.

During his reign in France, he expanded many times, launched the Napoleonic Wars, and became the king of Italy, the protector of the Rhine Confederation, the arbiter of the Swiss Confederation, and the colonial lord of the French Empire.

At its most glorious period, all the countries of Europe, with the exception of Great Britain, submitted to Napoleon or formed alliances. A huge Napoleonic empire was formed, creating a series of military and political miracles and short-lived brilliant achievements.

"One Napoleon, one Hitler, both are big fierce men, and they take a country to fight all over the world!"

Wu Tianyuan was very satisfied with this harvest, especially the Ring of Conquest, which was a steady stream of treasures after wearing it, and it was the most suitable to negotiate with the French.

"Help me contact the Louvre and say there's a deal to talk about!"

Wu Tianyuan was fortunate to have bought the Red Mansion in advance, and it was very famous here, so he said that it was a treasure found here, and he paid a huge amount of property protection tax, just waiting for today.

Wang Jun immediately contacted the Louvre through the embassy, and soon received a response, inviting Wu Tianyuan to the museum for an interview.

"This is Napoleon's crown, and some jewelry, you can identify it!"

Wu Tianyuan looked at the excited appearance of the deputy curator Henry in his sixties, even his hands trembled, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's golden, and it won't be broken!" ”

"Dear Wu, this is really a huge discovery, the Hundred Days Crown and the Conqueror's Scepter have been lost for more than two hundred years, but I didn't expect it to finally appear today!"

The old man Henry hugged Wu Tianyuan excitedly, and he didn't know what to say excitedly? It seems that these things are really precious to them.

"Don't worry, they don't belong to you yet!"

Wu Tianyuan waved his hand and said, "Now you can talk about the conditions, right?" ”

Henry finally calmed down, looked at the mysterious Oriental man curiously, and sighed: "Last time, we heard about your transaction with the National Museum of Art of Japan, the katana for the ancient books of the Ming Dynasty. Don't worry, we can exchange with you on the same terms, I will immediately ask people to sort out the Ming and Qing collections for you, and you can exchange them immediately! ”

Wu Tianyuan nodded with satisfaction, it seems that the matter of Little Japan has spread in the museum circle, and the price will be clearly marked in the future, and Tong Su will not be bullied!

Wu Tianyuan suddenly remembered something and asked Henry, "The sheep head of the Western Zhou Dynasty is here with you, right?" ”

Henry was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Of course, that is the treasure of our China Pavilion!" This can't be changed! ”

Wu Tianyuan smiled, you said that if you don't change it, you won't change it? One will make you slap yourself in the face!

"What else is the list for? Just take me to the storeroom to have a look. ”

Wu Tianyuan looked at the busy appearance of the staff, and said dissatisfied, Lao Tzu still wants to take the opportunity to absorb some energy.

"No, no one has been allowed to enter the storeroom except for our museum people, I'm sorry!"

Henry immediately rejected Wu Tianyuan's rude request, the Louvre Treasury, one of the world's five major museums, is absolutely impossible to open to an outsider!

"Well, you French people are still more authentic than little devils!"

Wu Tianyuan finally got the thick catalog, all of which were fine products of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and he was very excited when he looked at the long list.

"Let's have a Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup first!"

Wu Tianyuan looked at this baby at first sight, Doucai Chicken Cup, there are 19 in the world, only three are in private hands, Liu Yiqian just took one back for 300 million.

Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup is a rare treasure in ceramics, belonging to the imperial wine cup of the Chenghua Emperor in the Ming Dynasty. On the outer wall of the skimming bowl with a diameter of about eight centimeters, the outline line of the decoration is first lightly traced with a fine blue and white line, and the glaze is fired into the kiln at a high temperature of about 1300 degrees to form the carcass, and then the red, green, yellow and other colors are filled with the reserved blue and white decoration in the kiln for a second time and roasted at low temperature.

The outer wall is divided into two groups with peony lake stones and bluegrass lake stones, one group of painted roosters holding their heads proud, a hen and a chick pecking a centipede, and two chicks playing with each other. The other group paints a rooster crowing in the neck, a hen and three chicks pecking a centipede, the picture is vivid, full of interest, and there are many imitations in later generations.

Emperor Chenghua was keen on calligraphy and painting, once he admired the Song Dynasty painting of the "Son and Hen", saw the warm scene of the hen with a few chicks foraging, very touched, and inscribed a seven-word poem on this painting, expressing the hen's care for the chickens. There are two purposes for painting chickens: first, the first year of Chenghua is the year of the rooster; Another is the homonym of "auspicious" of "chicken" and "auspicious".

The earliest Ming Dynasty Wanli "Shenzong Record" that contains the value of the Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup wrote: "Shenzong is fashionable food, and there is a pair of Chenghua Colorful Chicken Bowl Cups in front of the Emperor, which is worth 100,000 yuan. ”

In addition, according to the Ming Dynasty Wanli Shen Defu's "Wild Harvest Edition", it is said: "Into a kiln wine glass, each pair to Bo silver 100 gold." Among them, the value of 100,000 is similar to that of silver and 100,000 gold, and "worth 100,000" should mean that the value of the chicken bowl cup is equal to the copper 100,000 coins used in circulation at that time, and the chicken bowl cup was sky-high at that time, not to mention today hundreds of years later.

In April 1999, at the auction of Chinese cultural relics and artworks held in Sufuby, Hong Kong, a well-preserved Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup was auctioned for a sky-high price of 29.17 million Hong Kong dollars, which became the highest transaction record of ancient Chinese porcelain in the auction market at that time.

On April 8, 2014, Mei Yin Tang Collection Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup was sold for HK$281.24 million at Sotheby's Hong Kong Important Chinese Porcelain and Crafts Spring Auction on the 8th, and the buyer was Shanghai collector Liu Yiqian

"That's it! A few days ago, Liu Yiqian was still in the circle of friends, drinking tea with a chicken cup? In the future, Lao Tzu will make a set, not only drink it himself, but let the people of Tianyuan Club drink it together! ”

Wu Tianyuan was the first to choose the Doucai Chicken Cup, the same as the Xuande furnace, the famous is too great, and even the emperors of the past dynasties like high imitation. The Kangxi Dynasty imitation is slightly higher than the genuine product, the bottom diameter is slightly smaller than the genuine product, and the unglazed part of the foot is wider than the genuine product; The bottom of the six-character square box regular script will be full of the bottom, the line is thick and heavy, and the text decoration is relatively sluggish.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there are imitations with high-handled lying feet, with Qianlong imperial inscription poems on the outside, and there are "Qianlong antique in the Qing Dynasty" seal on the bottom foot. During the Republic of China, the imitation glaze was blue, the blue and white color was floating, the color was light, and the decoration was sluggish.
