"Holy Lord, no! Such a rash appointment of a flat-headed boy as an earl, I am afraid that the world will criticize it! The old minister and the saint took back his fate! Wang Lan shouted.

"I beg the Holy One to take back his ordination!"

Sure enough, Yang Fan was knighted. As soon as Zhu Youzhen mentioned it in the court, the voices of opposition were overwhelming. This time, it was not only those officials who made trouble, but even Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, who held opposing views.

"Holy Lord, the old minister thinks that it is really inappropriate to crown Yang Fan as Ling Hebo. Although he has his credit for this victory in Linghe City, this military merit is not as good as Cheng Dù, who is knighted. Zhou Yanru came out and said. How can a twenty-year-old officialdom be stunned and knighted? Something you don't have to think about is absolutely not allowed. These civil officials have been conscientious all their lives, and they have dominated the court, and they can only be knighted on the title until they die, but at that time, it was false, to put it bluntly, it was to praise your merits, and they could not be ignored by the world.

However, those who can be knighted when they are alive, except at the beginning of the founding of the country, unless they have great merits, there are few examples of knights with different surnames when they are alive.

Xu Guangqi was even more surprised and speechless. He didn't expect that the saint's hand would be so big this time. The left and right attendants of his subordinates spoke one after another, asking Zhu Youzhen to take back his life, but he was still standing in place, silent.

"I, named Yang Fan as Ling Hebo, in recognition of his outstanding command skills and strategies in these two battles. Don't persuade the Qing family anymore. Immediately summoned the holy decree, announced that Yang Fan would enter the palace early tomorrow morning and be knighted. Retreat! ”

"Holy! Never! Holy! Wang Lan's forehead was already bleeding, but he still couldn't stop Zhu Youzhen. Now that the war in the Northeast has been settled, Zhu Youzhen has acted more decisively. After walking out of the Imperial Palace, Zhu Youzhen could still vaguely hear the shouts in the Imperial Palace. I couldn't help but shake my head and muttered, "This time, I won't compromise again." ”

The sky was gray and cloudy. has added a layer of visual coldness to the already cool weather. After Zhu Youjian was over, several eunuchs hurriedly followed.

"The Holy One is angry. The ministers, say...... Said......" The chief eunuch was speechless and did not dare to speak out.

"That's it. These stubborn rotten, I want to see what tricks they have to go! Zhu Youzhen stood in front of the railing, looking at the somewhat gloomy sky.

He ...... They said that if the Holy One did not take back his ordination, they would kneel and die in the Emperor's Palace. The chief eunuch stammered.

"It's the trick of that group of officials again. One cried, two made trouble, and three hanged, just like a woman. Zhu Youzhen shook his head and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

……

……

No matter how ups and downs the court is, life must go on. It is inseparable from firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and inseparable from the broken words of the neighbors in the street. The most lively place in the capital is the Fang Market on this West Street. With the fifty taels of silver in his arms, Yang Fan took out the only ten cents left on his body and bought two large meat buns. It is said to be a big meat bun, but in fact, there is very little meat inside, mostly some dried fragrant vegetables and cabbage.

It's not a problem if you don't have any money. No, let's take a look. He didn't expect that there were so many lovers of collecting antiques in the Ming Dynasty. The market did not open for long, and some antique shops were doing brisk business and the flow of customers continued.

Poor people, even in prosperous times, have nothing to eat and starve to death, and those who are so rich that they can still spend extravagantly all day long in such a last days. This is society, which is very simple and yet very complex. Yang Fan, who was chewing meat buns, squatted in front of the antique stall on the side, glancing east and west. He knew that if he took all these things on the ground and brought them to the 21st century, they could all be exchanged for money. As for now, it's just imitations.

He also has a certain research on antiques. The study of history and antiques is actually next to each other. If you want to understand the porcelain, calligraphy and painting, miscellaneous, and bronze of a dynasty, you must have a certain understanding of the history of that dynasty. Otherwise, the chicken head is placed on the spout of the night pot, and you still think it is a baby, so you stupidly accept it. Then you can only pay the kindergarten tuition in full.

Connoisseurs naturally have connoisseurs' doorways. Although the university that Yang Fan studied was not well-known, the old man of the history department had a well-known reputation in the antique world of Yangzhou City. As a proud protégé, Yang Fan naturally learned a few hands. This is what the old man taught him on the first day.

Fakes and imitations are not products of the 21st century, but have been prevalent since ancient times. The Ming imitated the Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty imitated the Ming, all for personal gain. To put it bluntly, what is an antique. It is the leftover gadgets used by the ancients, the jade that they have played with, the porcelain that they have used, and even the carved toilets that they have used......

In these days under the fence, there is always a lack of some freedom. If you want to make money for fifty taels and gamble, Yang Fan thinks that he doesn't have this ability. Nine out of ten bets are lost, which naturally will not be considered. It's a small business or something, and the money comes too slowly, so I have to pick up the leaks, in case I find something good. Not to mention that it can be exchanged for tens of thousands of taels, there are still hundreds of taels.

The utensils of the Ming Dynasty were naturally not worth a few dollars to the people of the Ming Dynasty. Like the most famous Yongle blue and white plate, it is estimated that in modern auction houses, at least two million. If you put it at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it would have killed dozens of taels of silver. But there is one exception, that is, calligraphy and painting, some calligraphy and painting can be described as a difficult to find, a thousand words.

For example, Dong Qichang, who is still in Nanjing as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is really competing for procurement at home and abroad. Therefore, it is also a beautiful thing to be able to get a picture of Dong Lao among the nobles in the capital. Yang Fan just looked at it, he had also visited the large and small antique streets in Yangzhou City with the old man before. At that time, it was almost impossible to pick up a leak. Ten stalls, eleven of which sell fakes. Once, Yang Fan valued a piece of jade carving. As soon as he picked it up, the stall owner said that it would cost eight hundred.

Yang Fan just squinted his eyes and knocked for a moment, and several stall owners on the side couldn't sit still. They came over one after another and took out a few identical ones, one saying four hundred and one saying two hundred. makes people know that the layman is tired of the cat inside. As a result, no business was done.

"Hey, little brother, the bun oil is dripping on the antique!" The stall owner clasped his hands and looked at Yang Fan's stunned look, probably a punch, "How is it, have you fancied which one?" Sue you, I took these things out of a few old houses. Look at it, look at which one sues me. ”

"Definitely, definitely." Yang Fan replied with a smile. This is an antique, and the most important thing for an expert is the eye. At a glance, those contrived wonders were directly ignored. You don't need to look at it at all, for example, if the age does not match the payment, it is considered a low-end fake. There are also some high-end ones, which are really too much to imitate and you can't see them, so that's another matter. However, Yang Fan also knows that the ancient counterfeiting process is estimated to be not as good as the modern one, and it should be able to be seen from some small details.
