Chen Annie is a smart and empathetic woman, she knows that the other party is the emperor, this relationship may not last long, abandon and stay, all in the other party's thoughts.

In order to show her intentions, Chen Annie knitted a poem with red silk thread on the brocade hand: "The bright moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time, the lover complains about the night, and the night is lovesick; The candle is full of mercy, the clothes are dewed, the hands are unbearable, and the dream is good. ”

After all, Zhu Cihong is also an old driver, and he can still see through the hints of this kindergarten level at a glance.

And this kind of neat and delicate craftsmanship of weaving poems on a small brocade is rare and valuable, Zhu Cihong did not have the habit of letting people work in vain, so he habitually ordered people to take treasures and give them away.

According to the rules, the emperor gave a treasure, and the eunuch in front of the emperor needed to go to the main hall where the royal treasure house in the palace was located to pick one piece.

But when you go out, there are more than a thousand miles away from Jingshi, how can there be any treasures to give?

None of the eunuchs who can go to the imperial front are waste, and if the conditions are not sufficient, then create conditions.

Soon, Gonggong Shen came to the palace with a few brocade boxes, including jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and ancient books, and asked the emperor to pick one and give it to him.

Zhu Cihong looked at these things suspiciously, and then remembered that he was on patrol, so he asked, "Where did so many things come from?" ”

Shen Mao approached and said in a low voice: "Emperor, this is copied from the Ma Jixiang family of the Xijing Garrison Mansion, the slave maid thinks that the eunuchs are all royal servants, and these things should belong to the emperor, and they should be transported back to the inner ......."

Zhu Cihong was just about to reprimand him, when suddenly he caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar object in the box.

"Unfold the thickest painting and show it to me!"

Because the Mt. Fuji residence is seven meters long, it is much longer than ordinary calligraphy and painting, and the volume of the roll is also the largest, so it is very conspicuous.

The two eunuchs immediately stepped forward, holding a long scroll in one hand and slowly unfolding it.

In just a moment, the landscape paintings in it can be seen at a glance, and sure enough, it is the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" that Zhu Cihong thought of!

Not only did Zhu Cihong look strange, but even Xu Sheng beside him was full of surprise, he was the one who accompanied the emperor and queen in love to go to the Golden Jade Pavilion to buy this painting, and he also beat the little cub of Ning Jinbo's family.

He was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this painting in the main hall of the palace?" How did you end up here? ”

Zhu Cihong's face remained unchanged, and he approached the long scroll to carefully identify it, because there were too many fakes in these years, and he was not allowed to appear among the people.

But after a few moments, his face changed, this thing is the real thing!

Because the collections in the palace are all marked!

In the Forbidden City, the Tai controlled the tributes presented to the Ming imperial family by the envoys of the following provinces and foreign countries, and was responsible for the collection and care of these tributes.

The royal collection has always been like a gift shop for the royal family, and each emperor can dispose of these treasures at his disposal, take whatever he likes, and give them to whomever he wants, in order to buy people's hearts and strengthen the rule of the dynasty.

However, in the midst of the royal treasures, it was easy for the eunuchs to steal some to bribe or bribe their cronies for personal gain.

In response to this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to realize that the eunuchs were involved in tribute and royal collections, so in the fifth year of Hongwu, he ordered a comprehensive inventory of the royal collections and registered them, and also specially stamped the ancient books, calligraphy and paintings as a mark as a mark, and then formed a customization.

These seals are usually stamped on the left half of the collection, on the edge of the painting, and on the right half in the repatriation document where the painting was registered.

This mark is not large, still half, and does not affect the edges of the work, so it is difficult for the uninformed to know that it is a palace object.

The petty official of the river yamen, although he loves to collect, he doesn't know this secret at all.

And Ma Jixiang himself, although he is a eunuch in the palace, is from the imperial horse eunuch, and he knows nothing about collecting, and he is an amateur fake collector.

Zhu Cihong frowned and said, "These things were really copied from Ma Jixiang's mansion?" ”

Seeing this scene, and listening to Xu Sheng's words just now, Shen Mao probably vaguely guessed what was going on, and he immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, it was really copied from Ma Jixiang's mansion, and it was personally supervised by the slave maid. ”

Zhu Cihong wondered, why did this painting appear in Shaanxi? Could it be that Ma Jixiang stole it from the palace?

Eunuchs and palace maids steal items in the palace and pour them out, which has happened in all dynasties, but most of the thefts are small objects, such as porcelain and other common items.

Royal supplies, even the night pot are extremely precious works of art, and they are very valuable outside the palace.

In particular, the night pot used by the emperor is a high-end gadget, such as Zhu Cihong and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di used a model, which is golden.

It is worth mentioning that when the emperor used the night pot, he did not urinate himself, and needed someone to serve him, not a eunuch, nor a palace maid, but a concubine who served that night. (Isn't it a sense of picture?) ）

Don't underestimate this short period of more than ten seconds, urinating is a kung fu job, and the concubines must go through strict training, otherwise it will be difficult to pee.

For example, in winter, the night pot should be wrapped in a quilt, and the emperor must not use a cold night pot when he uses it.

This is nothing, you can't lift the quilt when you pee in winter, because you regret freezing the emperor when you open it, so you have to put it in the quilt, and help the emperor to pee by the feel, and you can't drip urine on the bedding, you have to wipe it clean with a soft towel, and you have to use your mouth if necessary......

The important thing is that the concubine can't let her body cool when she urinate, so that entering the quilt will freeze the emperor and affect the mood of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, if you want to become an imperial concubine and roll sheets with the emperor, you must go through strict training in urine, otherwise you will not be qualified to sleep with the emperor!

In disguise, being a princess also needs to master a "handiwork".

Of course, the emperor of the Taqing Dynasty could not enjoy this kind of treatment, and the concubine carried it away after sleeping, and if she did not stay overnight, she could only let the eunuchs do the work of urinating......

Having said that, even if it is a night pot, as long as it is stolen outside the palace by a eunuch or a palace maid in the palace and sold, it will still be executed, let alone such a precious calligraphy and painting.

Looking at the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" in his hand, Zhu Cihong's face became more and more gloomy, and now that Ma Jixiang and a group of eunuchs were executed, they couldn't ask, so they could only check it from the palace.

He said to Xu Sheng: "Send someone to send a decree to Qiu Zhizhong, let him go to the main hall and check all the collections in the palace!" ”

The royal collection is very rich, including calligraphy and painting seal carving, jade jewelry, furniture and strange stones, cultural relics of the past dynasties, etc., but the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" is hidden in the main hall.

The main hall is located on the east side of the Zuoshun Gate of the Forbidden City, the south side of the Wenhua Palace, it is a place to treasure ancient and modern books, as well as the place where the crown prince, the kings, the children of meritorious heroes, and the children of princes and uncles study, and it was built by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu.

Lao Zhu feels that these imperial flowers not only need to learn to govern the world, but also need cultural edification!

Because of this matter, Zhu Cihong decided to return to Beijing ahead of schedule and go south by the Grand Canal, and by the way, he also took Chen Annie on the shore of Daming Lake.
