Chapter 764: The Carpenter Emperor

Mitsui Guihe is also a half-baked expert in Sinology, so of course he can see the meaning of boasting in the ancient poem just now.

And this poem, to be honest, is just a mediocre kind of rhyming poem, and there is nothing special about it in terms of the artistry of language.

So these few words of Yoshihiko Noda can be regarded as speaking in his heart, this poem is indeed very vulgar, and there is nothing surprising.

But now Yoshihiko Noda said that the creator of this poem has a great background, and he was immediately interested.

Not only him, but Mitsui Mitsui and Kobayashi Kyosuke also pricked up their ears at this time, this Noda is really good at selling off, and they all want to know who this amazing person he is talking about.

"In fact, the person who wrote this poem is the famous and ridiculous carpenter emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty in China, Zhu Youxiao!"

"Oh? Influenced by Switzerland? ”

Takazu Mitsui has grown up with a mouth, not only him, but Mitsui Mitsui and Kyosuke Kobayashi have also grown up with their mouths.

However, Mitsui Takazu reacted the fastest, and soon his eyes refocused back on the chair.

If that's the case, then the significance of this chair is extraordinary, this is a special rare treasure, if you really want to talk about preciousness and scarcity, it is not worse than the two Yao Chang Tianmu bowls he bought before, and it can even be said to be a treasure that is even better.

At the same time, Mitsui Mitsui and Kobayashi Kyosuke also reacted, and the eyes looking at this chair also changed, ecstatic. A feeding frenzy. The eyes of the two of them seemed to be eager to melt the chair in front of them. It's like swallowing it in your stomach.

Is it really the work of some carpenter emperor? Then this thing is so valuable!

That carpenter emperor is a well-known faint monarch in Chinese history, a mediocre and incompetent guy, of course, this is just to say that he was evaluated in the position of emperor.

But if we talk about his other field of work, carpenter's work, history has a very high opinion of him.

This emperor, if he comes now, is definitely a top furniture designer. And people can not only design their own, but the most important thing is to make their own furniture, and the furniture they make is very good.

The court chronicle of the Ming Dynasty "Xian Diao Zhi" recorded the emperor in this way: "The genus of the axe is all self-controlled." Although skillful, you can't be overdone. ”

Roughly speaking, as long as there is a place in the palace where carpenter work is needed, the emperor will definitely roll up his arms, roll up his sleeves, and go into battle himself.

And they're not the kind of blind commands. The kind of person who messes around, people can also make good things when they go into battle. And the good things he makes, even if he is a master carpenter used by the palace, he can only sigh to himself.

Moreover, the emperor's obsession with carpenter's work can be said to have reached the point of going crazy, and every time he made a work, if he was not satisfied, he would immediately destroy it, and start from the new production until he was satisfied.

Therefore, this emperor, in terms of carpentry work, has the kind of literary and youthful temperament of some artists, and pursues perfection.

There was also an emperor of his kind in the history of China before, that is, the famous Song Huizong in history.

That emperor, as an artist who can only write poems and paint, is very qualified, but as an emperor, this guy is not even worthy of carrying shoes for his ancestors.

There are also historical documents of the Ming Dynasty that recorded that this emperor was "built day and night", "every time you create a proud one, that is, you can forget the food and drink, and you will not be aware of the cold and summer".

The general meaning of this is that the emperor, when he treats carpentry work, is not only a perfectionist, but also an impatient.

But if you want to find something, you have to get up early in the morning and finish it at night, and if you make the kind of work that makes him feel perfect, he will get carried away and be so happy that he can even forget to eat, and he doesn't care about the hot or cold weather.

Probably speaking, this carpenter emperor's obsession with carpentry work has reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, and he has simply gone mad.

The account that can reflect the profound skills of this buddy in the furniture making process is far more than that.

There are also many historical records of the Ming Dynasty, which can better reflect the creativity of this carpenter emperor.

It is said that when he first became the emperor, he lived in the palace, but he was very dissatisfied with the bed in the palace, because the dragon bed was very stupid, not to mention, and it was very uncomfortable to sleep.

This buddy was angry, so he simply made a new dragon bed for himself, and this new dragon bed is meticulously carved, Micron is not generous, and the practicality is very strong.

It can be folded up and easily taken anywhere you want, which was a very brilliant idea at the time, and it can be regarded as the first recorded folding bed in Chinese history.

And he is not only good at making furniture, but also very talented in carving.

He was able to carve a lot of wooden dolls, and he could do them vividly, men, women, and children, and he also had the form of a god.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with his love for shadow puppetry, and it is said that when this guy watches the shadow puppet show, the dolls used by the shadow puppet technician are all made by him.

This shows this guy's talent in art even more.

The most ridiculous thing is that this guy himself is very satisfied with his works, but he still wants to be recognized by others, so he often takes out the small wooden figures he makes and asks the little eunuchs around him to sell them in the outside market to see how recognized his works are in the market.

And the puppets he made are indeed very beautiful, so they are often sold out quickly as soon as they are put on the market, and this emperor actually feels great satisfaction here.

Being an emperor can't satisfy him, but as a successful craftsman, he can feel that sense of achievement, it seems that this guy is really in the wrong place.

And this guy is not only very talented in carpenter's work, but in terms of architecture, this guy is also a self-taught architect, and he is also an elite architect.

Not long after he first became the emperor, he probably felt that it was not interesting to deal with government affairs, so this guy found himself to have fun.

Then in the courtyard where he lived, according to the ratio of forty to one, he made a beautiful model of the Qianqing Palace, and it was exactly the same, and the height was only four feet high, and many people who had seen it were greatly amazed by the emperor's dexterity.

It is said that the load-bearing design of the three halls in the Forbidden City, the Taihe Palace, the Zhonghe Palace, and the Baohe Palace, are all from the hands of this emperor.

You must know that this buddy, according to the historical records, is an out-and-out illiterate person who has not received any professional royal education at all.

A guy who doesn't even know big characters, actually relied on his own talent to become an excellent carpenter, and an architect, which has been put aside until now, it is definitely an inspirational book comparable to that of a domineering president.

And the most important thing is that this carpenter emperor's artistic talent is not limited to carpentry and architectural designer, he is also an excellent jade craftsman.

He once personally made and polished ten jade lampshades, with screens, and was very proud of his work.

Even he often carves seals by himself and gives them to the eunuchs around him and the ministers he trusts, so this guy is definitely a genius with outstanding talent in terms of hands-on ability.

It's a pity that this guy is indeed a genius in carpentry and construction, as well as jade, but in the profession of being an emperor, he is not very good.

In the entire historical history of the Ming Dynasty, the evaluation of this emperor is not high, and there are even many derogatory descriptions, in the eyes of those historical historians, this is completely an incompetent emperor.

An emperor who likes strange and obscene skills and doesn't care about political affairs, even his younger brother who was stubborn and self-serving, and finally buried the Ming Dynasty with his own hands, Emperor Chongzhen, has a higher evaluation than him in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

And this Zhu Youxiao, the title after his death is Ming Xizong, and the word Xi in the middle is actually mocking him, ignoring the government and politics, and only knowing how to have fun, so he will give him such a title.

And his status among the many emperors of the Ming Dynasty is just a shame compared to Emperor Zhengde, who likes the 'leopard room', and Ming Shizong, who worships Yan Song, and Ming Guangzong, who was killed in the red pill case.

However, no matter how well this carpenter emperor did his job as an emperor, at least he was very successful in carpentry and construction, as well as jade.

Although there are not many works that have survived to this day, his talents in these fields have indeed been recorded in those historical books.

And now Mitsui Gui and them actually saw one, the jade dragon chair made by the carpenter emperor himself, and the mood of these people can be imagined.

The dragon chair is a chair that only the emperor can sit on in the past.

Until now, there are only a few dragon chairs in the world, but they are all in the Forbidden City of China, and none of them have been circulated outside.

And the jade dragon chair in front of them is very different from those dragon chairs in the Forbidden City, first of all, this dragon chair is different from those made of wood in terms of material, this one is carved and spliced out of all jade.

And the most important point is that this dragon chair is not made by ordinary people, this is the work of the famous absurd emperor Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty, this is very special!

The emperor made it himself, just such a gimmick, it has already made this dragon chair infinite halo! (To be continued.) )
