After telling a small story, Chu Chen continued: "Shang Fang, in fact, is the official office in charge of manufacturing and supplying imperial utensils, which has been stored in the Qin Dynasty and was the most prestigious in the Han Dynasty. And the Shang Fang sword refers to the sword used by the emperor. ”

And in this story, the so-called invitation to Shang Fang's sword is just a comparison of the sword to the emperor, hoping that the emperor will pay attention to the prime minister's corruption. In fact, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. The Biography of Cai Lun records that the Eastern Han Dynasty and Emperor Liu Zhao once ordered 'Cai Lun, a regular servant in the middle, to add Shang Fang Ling, and to supervise the sword, that is, Shang Fang's sword. The royal vessels shall not be used by the ministers for private use'. Therefore, it was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that the emperor's imperial sword was explicitly called the Shangfang sword. ”

"The horse sword in my hand, judging from the shape of the instrument and other characteristics, should be made in the Western Han Dynasty, although the ornament has the characteristics of the emperor's sword, but according to the records of the historical books, it is not a real Shang Fang sword."

Hearing the end, everyone felt a little disappointed, and after a long time, it turned out that this was not Shang Fang's sword!

What is Shang Fang's Sword? Isn't it the emperor's royal sword? Does it have anything to do with Shang Fang's sword? Besides, Shang Fangjian is really not a big deal, and the role in reality is not as exaggerated as it appears on TV. ”

"Huh? No way! When everyone heard this, they all looked surprised.

Chu Chen explained with a smile: "It is true, it is recorded in the almanac that in the Han Dynasty, there was an example of the emperor giving the imperial Shangfang sword to his subordinates. For example, when Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the emperor gave the sword to the minister Wei Juan, and Wei Juan said, 'The first emperor gave the minister the sword Fan Liu. Don't dare to give an edict. ’”

"Shang Fang swords that can give away six swords in one breath, how precious can they be? And. If the emperor sends it again, no one wants it. Visible. In the beginning, Shang Fang's sword was not a particularly rare object. ”

When Liu Sizhe heard this, he said: "Maybe the Shang Fang Sword of the Han Dynasty is just something that the emperor usually uses to reward, and it does not have the meaning of giving special powers." ”

Chu Chen nodded and said: "You are right, according to the analysis of historians, in the Tang Dynasty, the officials who were awarded the 'Shang Fang Sword' by the emperor did not have the power to 'kill', and the so-called monopoly killing refers to the meaning of killing people without listening to the emperor's orders. ”

In the Song Dynasty, the situation was different. The Song people's "Wujing Beiyao" recorded: "The system of this dynasty. Every time the general asks for it, he will give it to Edgeworth, and if there is a violator, he will be killed. That is to say, in the military of the Song Dynasty, Shang Fangjian's power to 'come in person and kill in violation of the law' began to be realized. At the same time, in the same period, the Liao and Jin, as well as the later Yuan and Ming, there were examples of sword-giving and killing. ”

"However, at this time, Shang Fangjian has the right to kill. Most of them are used in the military field, mainly to solve the problem of the general 'going to the imperial court far away, and every time he performs, he is afraid of losing the opportunity' in the course of the war. In the judicial field, it does not apply to 'Shang Fangjian'. In other words, Bao Qingtian did not have Shang Fang's sword. ”

Hearing this, Chu Yulan asked in surprise, "That is to say." Our previous understanding is all wrong, right? ”

"It's not all wrong."

Chu Chen said with a smile: "At least in the military field, Shang Fangjian can still play a role. But at the same time, there were restrictions, such as in the Song Dynasty. It's 'below the adjutant general, those who don't obey orders can be killed'. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor gave Shang Fang the sword, which could only kill officials below the general army, and limited the scope of use of the right to kill. And it can only be within the jurisdiction, otherwise it is ultra vires, and the consequences will not be better. ”

"Therefore, the sword of Shang Fang in reality is not as beautiful as it is said in the opera novel, and it is absolutely not allowed to have any system bugs such as 'beheading the king at the top and beheading the ministers at the bottom'."

"Hey!" Dong Fatzi said speechlessly: "In this way, this Shang Fang Sword is just chicken ribs, compared with the gold medal for avoiding death, it is simply weak!" ”

"Don't mention any death-free gold medal, this thing is not as good as Shang Fang's sword, it's completely a pit daddy."

Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "The gold medal in history, the real name is 'Danshu Iron Coupon', this thing was invented by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, mainly to praise those heroes who helped him fight the world, and each hero was given a thing of this, indicating that the hereditary replacement, children and grandchildren can use it, and then it was also very strictly put into a gold box to keep the zài ancestral temple inside, representing that the oath was not violated from generation to generation." ”

As a result, it didn't take long for the great hero Han Xin to be tricked into the palace by Empress Lu and killed, and he also killed Han Xin's three clans in a row. Although this is related to Han Xin's lack of knowing how to be a man and being too arrogant, Xiao He's guy almost died in prison......"

"Speaking of the Han Dynasty, let's talk about the Ming Dynasty that is relatively close to us, the great hero Li Shanchang everyone should have heard of it, this guy came to help when Zhu Yuanzhang just got up to rebel, and made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty."

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang also sent him Danshu iron coupons. Li Shanchang has read books, knows the affairs of the Han Dynasty, and thinks to himself, now this emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is more hooligan than Liu Bang, he compares me to Xiao He, and sends me this thing, this is the rhythm of wanting me to die. So he quickly resigned and went home. ”

"Those who are familiar with Li Shanchang should know that he didn't hide in the end, because Hu Weiyong rebelled, Zhu Yuanzhang insisted that Li Shanchang was the mastermind behind the scenes, and the whole family was wiped out."

After saying such a big deal, Liu Sizhe's saliva was almost dry, he took a sip of tea, and then said: "Look at it, this is the end of the person who won the gold medal for avoiding death, at least Shang Fang Baojian is not so cheating." ”

Dong Fatzi smashed his mouth and said, "It seems that this death-free gold medal is the same as Shang Fang's sword, and its effects are blown out of dramas and novels." ”

Su Jinning said: "Of course, otherwise it would not be a novel, but a history book." ”

Everyone laughed, and then, Chu Chen said, "I'll go get some tools and clean up this sword a little, otherwise it will be inconvenient to identify." ”

With that, he walked out the door again, and in a few moments he walked in with a toolbox.

Opening the box, Chu Chen took out a special rag from it and a small bottle of solution, this bottle of solution was prepared by Chu Chen himself, specially used to clean the rust on the ironware.

Next, Chu Chen dipped a rag in the solution and gently wiped it above the iron sword. After a while, the rust on the surface of the iron sword subsided somewhat. The ornamentation underneath can also be distinguished.

"Huh!"

At this time, Chu Chen's mouth suddenly let out a soft "huh" sound.

"What's wrong?" Wu Ke hurriedly asked.

"Wait." Chu Chen waved his hand. Then he hurriedly took out a magnifying glass, looked carefully, and found that there were indeed some special marks on the iron sword. He pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "This thought, this iron sword is actually wrong. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all quite surprised, especially those who were familiar with the sword of the Han Dynasty, and felt that this sword was very precious.

This is because, judging by the unearthed things. The iron swords used by the nobles of the Central Plains in the Han Dynasty were less likely to have gold and silver on the body and tools, and those with pure gold and silver were even rarer. The former is mostly the daily sword of princely dignitaries, which is a sign of status and rank; The latter are mostly short swords or daggers, which can be enjoyed at any time and can be used to defend the body. But no matter what kind of form and function, it is extremely gorgeous and dazzling.

Chu Chen said: "Let's not talk about who used this sword, the gold and silver swords of the Han Dynasty are rare, and it is the first time I have seen the wrong gold on the sword of the horse sword." Both the research value and the economic value are very high! Fifth brother, what kind of reward do you want? ”

Lao Wu smiled and waved his hand: "What reward do you want, I took your salary, this is what should be done." ”

Chu Chen smiled. Although Lao Wu said so, the reward that should be given must be given, if there is no reward or punishment. How can an employee work for him with peace of mind?

Liu Sizhe opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Chen, is this sword the imperial sword of the emperor of the Han Dynasty?" ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "I can only say that it is possible. As for the exact result, we can only wait until the rust is cleaned up. ”

Answer. Everyone is a little disappointed, but the antique appraisal must not be sloppy, and the results will not be available for a while, which is a normal thing.

Next, we talked about antiques for a while, and when the time was almost up, some of them took their leave.

Before the fifth child left, he said to Chu Chen: "Boss, the person who sold this iron sword told me that he still has some collections, do you want him to take a look?" ”

"That's for sure." Chu Chen nodded.

"Then when he comes, I'll give you a call, I'm afraid that I won't be able to tell the truth like this sword."

Lao Wu didn't get fluttering because he picked up a big leak, what to do or how to do it, this is what Chu Chen admires most about him.

"Yes, but you also know that I've been busy lately, so you'd better let him wait until I get married."

"Okay, I see."

…………

Soon, three days passed, and Chu Chen had been busy with the preparations for the wedding and the affairs of the courtyard in the past few days, and finally vacated and prepared to go to the museum to deal with affairs, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked out of the door, the fifth child called and said that the person who sold the iron sword had just called him, saying that he wanted to sell some of his collections, and the time was very urgent.

There was no way, Chu Chen could only change today's itinerary and drive to the antique shop.

I haven't been to the antique shop for a long time, Chu Chen also felt very cordial, and after saying hello to everyone, he went to his office to deal with some antique shop affairs first.

In fact, if Chu Chen couldn't come to the antique shop, Zhou Wenping would take financial statements and other things every day and go to Chu Chen's place to check him. Therefore, Chu Chen is quite at ease with the antique shop.

After a while, the fifth child informed Chu Chen that the seller had arrived.

Lao Wu walked into the reception room with Chu Chen and Uncle Wu, and saw that the seller was a middle-aged man in his forties, sitting there in a daze with a slight frown, as if he had something on his mind.

Chu Chen's footsteps brought the man back to his senses, and then the fifth child gave an introduction to both sides.

The man's surname is Shiluo, and he has the same name and surname as the famous officials of Wei during the Three Kingdoms in history, Chu Chen guessed that it would be that some of the man's elders liked to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so he gave this name.

After a few pleasantries, Shuangshiluo couldn't wait to take out all the things he was going to sell this time, and while putting the things on the table, he smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for something happened this time, I really wouldn't want to sell these collections of mine." Trouble Teacher Chu is too bothered. ”

Because he still had to go to the museum to deal with things, Chu Chen said a few polite words, and then picked up the things in front of him and looked at them.

Probably because Shuangshiluo prefers the cultural relics of the Han Dynasty. This time, I brought it all jade, bronze and pottery from the Han Dynasty. Although there are many things, but judging by the appearance of these things. It is estimated that there are few or no comparisons with the iron sword of the Han Dynasty.

Just as Chu Chen and Uncle Wu were appraising there, Lao Wu asked with some curiosity: "Mr. Shuang, I take the liberty of asking, why are you suddenly in such a hurry to sell something?" ”

In fact, after returning that day, Lao Wu contacted Shuangshiluo by phone, and Shuangshiluo also told him at that time that his collection had no plans to sell for the time being. But in just a few days, Shuangshiluo suddenly became so urgent. It's no wonder that the fifth child finds it strange.

"Hey! Count me unlucky......" It is estimated that he felt too aggrieved in his heart, so Shuangshiluo babbled about his bad things.

It turns out that in addition to sometimes setting up stalls, Shuangshiluo is also a senior collector, because he is particularly fond of the culture of the Han Dynasty, he mainly collects jade and bronze objects from the Han Dynasty. In the past few years, in the field of his research, not to mention how proficient he is, at least there are very few fakes to deceive him.

Because Shuangshiluo has good eyesight. So some of his relatives and friends, if there are any corresponding antiques, will be given to him for identification. He didn't say no, and it turned out to be a mistake very often.

Some time ago, Shuangshiluo's relatives brought a piece of jade from the Han Dynasty for him to identify. The jade carving is good, and the jade quality is also very good, which is very rare among the jade of the Han Dynasty. At that time, he estimated that the value of jade was about five or six hundred thousand.

Shuangshiluo's relatives were very excited to hear the news. entrusted him to sell the jade as much as possible, and Shuangshiluo happily agreed.

In order to maximize the price of jade. Shuangshiluo took the jade to an auction company to auction, but unexpectedly, the auction company actually made a mistake in appraising the jade, and in the end it was only sold for less than 50,000 yuan.

Shuangshiluo was a little surprised by this result, but he thought that the experts invited by the auction company should be more authoritative, and he should not be wrong.

Because there was a formal contract and other information, and he was quite satisfied with the price, Shuangshiluo's relatives did not blame Shuangshiluo, and invited Shuangshiluo to dinner to show their gratitude.

Unexpectedly, the buyer was actually an expert who studied jade in the Han Dynasty, and he published the results of his research in a magazine, and happened to be seen by Shuangshiluo's relatives, which was equivalent to poking a hornet's nest.

So, the day after Lao Wu finished calling Shuangshiluo, his relatives came to his house and made a big fuss.

Speaking of this, Shuangshiluo's expression was both sad and a little angry, and said: "In the past few days, my legs have almost run away, and the auction company just doesn't admit that they are at fault, even if I finally get the certificate issued by the expert, the attitude of the auction company is still like this, there is no way, I can only solve it through the court." ”

In fact, it is not uncommon for "genuine products to be auctioned as fakes" at auctions like this, for example, Chu Chen picked up a leak at the auction, and the well-known Sotheby's auction company has published news that the collector's genuine works are auctioned at a low price as fakes and are sued by the seller.

This happens even to a large company like Sotheby's, let alone an auction house that is not yet first-class?

At this time, Chu Chen raised his head and asked with some doubts: "Mr. Shuang, in that case, why do you still want to sell the collection?" ”

Shuang Shiluo sighed: "Hey, it's not my relatives, their family doesn't believe me, they want me to pay back the money, my money is used to buy the collection, where can I get five or six hundred thousand at a time?" I had no choice but to sell the collection for money. Hey, I can't do a good thing! ”

For what Shuangshiluo said, everyone doesn't know how to judge, for a righteous gentleman, Shuangshiluo's relatives are very difficult to accept, but what if the other party is someone who doesn't even have bank deposits? Will he be cranky, will he feel that Shuangshiluo has deceived him?

What's more, there are wins and losses in lawsuits, and Shuangshiluo's relatives also have to think about what to do if they lose the lawsuit. Therefore, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong in this kind of thing.

After appraising all the things, Chu Chen said, "Mr. Shuang, these things of yours are genuine, but the value is not very high. ”

Shuangshiluo was quite happy at first, but when he heard the words "not very valuable", his expression became sad again. Hurriedly asked, "Teacher Chu, how much are these things of mine worth in total?" ”

Chu Chen replied: "I think a total of 150,000 of these things is about the same. ”

A mere 150,000 is obviously not enough to meet the requirements of Shuangshiluo. He shook his head and sighed, then took another box out of his bag and opened it. I saw a few figurines inside.

Chu Chen looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't expect that these figurines were actually made of unwaxed glaze.

Dewaxed glass, also known as ancient glaze, using ancient bronze wax casting technology pure manual processing, after more than 10 manual manufacturing processes of fine grinding, in the high temperature of more than 1000C on the furnace will be crystal glazed mother stone melted and naturally flow to condense into noble gorgeous, natural and self-clumsy glaze. Its colors are colorful and beautiful; Its quality is crystal clear and dazzling.

There are a total of five figurines of Shuangshiluo, which are divided into dance, qin, seer and beat, etc., and the table xiàn is a song and dance scene. The portrayal is detailed. The lines are smooth and natural. Although the craftsmanship is clumsy, from the simple lines and shapes, you can feel the artistic appeal brought by music and dance to people, and the expression is rich.

The clothes of the five figurines are all green at the bottom of the wine bottle, the color similar to that of a beer bottle, but even darker. The color is more in line with the characteristics of the Han Dynasty glaze.

In addition, we know that there are three categories of antique vessels, ritual utensils and living utensils, and glass is nothing more than one of these three categories. With the exception of dragonfly eyes and glazed vessels, most glazed products (especially jewelry) are substitutes or imitations of other materials. Therefore, the corresponding objects of other materials can be found functionally.

Therefore, judging by Chu Chen's experience and the shape of these figurines, this should be the glazed figurines of the Han Dynasty. In addition, the leather shell on the surface of the figurines and the pulp. It can basically be identified as the authenticity of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing that it was such a group of exquisite glazed figurines from the Han Dynasty, Chu Chen and others were amazed, knowing that the dewaxing glaze needs to go through dozens of manual and meticulous operations to complete. The slightest negligence can cause failure or flaws, and these glazes were still made in the Han Dynasty, when the glaze technology was not developed. Needless to say, it's precious.

Carefully putting the last figurine back on the table, Uncle Wu said with some regret: "It's a pity." This set of figurines should be less than a set, if it can be a set, it will be perfect. ”

"Old Wu, to tell you the truth, it is not easy to buy these five figurines, if I can gather a set, then I will not be willing to sell them at all."

Shuang Shiluo smiled very calmly, and then asked: "Teacher Chu, I think it is still very possible to collect this set of figurines, I don't know how much these figurines can be worth in this case?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen felt a little puzzled: "Mr. Shuang, take the liberty of asking a question, since it is possible to get together this set of figurines, why don't you buy them all?" ”

"This ......" Shuangshiluo seemed a little hesitant at first, and after pondering for a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Teacher Chu, let me tell you the truth, I bought these figurines is equivalent to jumping into a pit, these figurines were actually received by me at a farmer's house, and his family only found three at that time, and the price I bought was relatively cheap." ”

"What we didn't expect was that the farmer demolished the old house and rebuilt it, and picked up six more pieces, but fortunately, it was seen by a shovel who received the goods, so the six figurines were bought by him, and the farmer also told him that I also have three pieces in my hand."

"When the guy heard that I had three in my hand, he came to me and wanted to buy something back from me. Such a good thing, of course I disagree. Later, he came to me several times, and when he saw that I had not agreed, he wanted to sell me something when he had no choice......"

Hearing this, Chu Chen understood why he jumped into the pit, there is a good chance that the shovel sat on the ground and started to buy it, although Shuang Shiluo disagreed, but he was unwilling not to buy it, so he suffered a loss. And since I bought five pieces, the following four pieces must be more in the bag, in this case, the other party can sit on the ground and raise the price.

As for why Shuangshiluo was a little hesitant just now, it was easy to understand, he was afraid that he would not buy these figurines if he knew, or choose to lower the price. But he finally chose to tell himself about this matter, which shows that his character is still quite downright.

Since you respect me, then I will respect you, as long as the price given by Shuangshiluo is reasonable, Chu Chen will definitely buy the thing, so he said: "Mr. Shuang, please ask for a price." ”

Shuangshiluo pondered for a while and said, "Even if it's 300,000, what do you think?" ”

Chu Chen thought about it and felt that the price was relatively reasonable, so he agreed, and then asked, "What about your collections?" ”

Shuangshiluo said reluctantly: "It's all sold, 300,000 is not enough to compensate." ”

Next, the two sides signed an agreement to complete the deal, and Shuang Shiluo also sued Chu Chen for the shovel that owned the other four figurines.

Seeing that his years of hard work were sold like this, Shuang Shiluo couldn't help but feel sad, he sighed, and said goodbye to Chu Chen and them.

However, when he walked to the door, he came back and asked, "Teacher Chu, is it possible for me to win this lawsuit?" ”。

Chu Chen thought for a while and said: "I think it should be on the condition that 'the auction house has no complete obligation to authenticate the real for the seller', if the agreement you signed at the beginning stipulates that there is such an obligation, you should win, if not, it is difficult to say." However, I am not too familiar with the law, so you should listen to the lawyer's opinion on this aspect. ”

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Chu......"

Seeing Shuangshiluo walking through the door, Lao Wu said: "In the end, he is not good at this matter, he obviously thinks that his judgment is right, why didn't he raise an objection at that time?" Besides, the thing is not his own, so it should be more serious, and now he has made him unlucky......" (To be continued......
