"When I wanted to be old, I also studied hard for decades, but unfortunately I fell to Sun Mountain again and again, and finally became dishearten......ed" Xu Run couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the past. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lin Yizhe understood Xu Run's feelings, if it wasn't for the defeat in the field, the old man might not be a guest of honor, and even rely on teaching Tong Meng to make a living.

And Shen Baozhen was heartbroken after knowing that he was punished for ten years and could not participate in the scientific examination, which is understandable.

In this era of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", for readers, scientific research is life.

Even in the afterlife, this situation has not completely changed!

Thinking of this, Lin Yizhe inexplicably felt a little heavy.

There are so many things that China needs to change!

Let's do what we have at hand first! How far he can change, he still can't say.

This time the "fornication law chief" turmoil has made him more vigilant.

The main problem facing China now is not the backwardness of science and technology, but the strong domestic conservative and stubborn forces!

In order to realize our ideal of changing China's destiny and complete China's industrialization reform, we must remove all these stumbling blocks and the root causes that produced them!

"But my lord has returned the national treasure this time, and the queen mother will always remember the adult in her heart, this fame, maybe it will be rewarded one day, hehe, adults don't have to worry about it." Xu Run noticed the change in the expression on Lin Yizhe's face, thinking that he was still depressed that he could not participate in the scientific examination, so he said with relief.

"I hope so." Lin Yizhe smiled and retracted his thoughts.

Napoleon III, in order to thank himself for this incident, although he caused himself great trouble, but in the end the bad thing turned into a good thing. Moreover, Napoleon III took the initiative to return some of the national treasures plundered by the French from the Old Summer Palace this time, making himself a popular man in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi, which can be said to be his biggest windfall in this incident.

He is familiar with modern Chinese history, of course, knows that the Empress Dowager Cixi has always been obsessed with the birthplace of her youth, the Yuanmingyuan, "Heaven and Earth, One Spring".

If......

A spark flashed in Lin Yizhe's mind.

At this time, someone came to report that Riyige had come back and brought two French cargo ships, Lin Yizhe knew that these cargo ships might be transporting steel plates provided by the French Schneider Steel Company, so he temporarily suppressed this idea that seemed to be a little "not doing business", and went to the dock with Xu Run.

When Lin Yizhe came to the wharf, the two French cargo ships had already begun to unload, and Lin Yizhe was very excited to see a large number of steel plates lifted from the cargo ship and unloaded on the wharf.

Ironclad ships, finally no longer far from China!

"Dear Lin, look, who I brought to you." Riyige said with a smile on the side.

Lin Yizhe turned his head to look and saw a tall, large, broad-faced Frenchman next to Riyige walking towards him with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Lin Yizhe." The visitor extended his hand to Lin Yizhe in a friendly manner, "It is a great pleasure to meet you, the greatest fashion designer of the East. I'm Benjamin Burkeley Hatchkeys. ”

When Lin Yizhe heard the other party report to his home, he couldn't help but be shocked all over, and immediately stretched out his hands and held the other party's hands tightly.

"It is a pleasure to see you, Mr. Hatch Cash!" Lin Yizhe said happily, "Thank you for accepting my invitation. ”

"You may not know, Mr. Lin Yizhe, I had no intention of leaving France when Colonel Riyige extended the invitation to me, but when I heard that it was the founder of the popular 'Lin Oriental Beauty Clothing Company' and the greatest fashion designer in the East who invited me to China, I did not hesitate to come." Hatch Chase smiled and said, "I would love to work with you. ”

Born in Connecticut in 1826 (a full 14 years older than Maxim), Hatch Chase spent his early years working for the Colt Patent Firearms Company, developing and patenting the rifled rifle in 1856 and serving as director of the New York Arsenal around 1860. Hatch Chase improved the metal shell fixed gun cartridge, but this invention was not taken seriously in the United States, and was eventually adopted by France, so in 1867 he went to France to settle, at this time, he did not have time to establish the famous Hatch Chase Company in St. Denis, so he asked Lin Yizhe to send Riyige to China.

Lin Yizhe heard that Hatch Kais actually called himself "the greatest fashion designer in the East" twice, and his face couldn't help but feel a little feverish.

It seems that the power of underwear is far beyond my imagination!

Lin Yizhe and Hatch Kaisi were talking and walking, and he didn't notice that Xu Run, who was in the excitement, looked at him with praise and appreciation in his eyes.

Beijing, Forbidden City, Jianfu Palace.

The area around Jianfu Palace includes Jingyi Xuan, Yanshou Pavilion, Huiyao Building, Jiyun Building, Bilin Pavilion, Miao Lotus Pond, Jicui Pavilion, Guangsheng Building, Ninghui Building, Xiangyun Pavilion, etc., which is the main place for the Qing Palace to store treasures. These pavilions are very magnificent and magnificent, in addition to the Golden Buddha, the Golden Pagoda, all kinds of gold ritual utensils and Tibetan scriptures, there are also the portraits of the nine emperors of the Qing Dynasty and the music map, the calligraphy and painting of celebrities in the past dynasties, bronze, ancient porcelain and jade and other rare treasures. In addition, before the wedding of Emperor Tongzhi, in order to decorate the two palaces of Chuxiu and longevity, the treasures of these two palaces were also moved a lot. All the gifts given by officials from all over the world are also stored here. It can be said that this is the place where the Qing Palace stores the most treasures.

Now, in the storage of the Jianfu Palace, there are a large number of treasures that have been transported from France.

After Napoleon III transported 4,000 pieces of Qing imperial treasures that originally belonged to the Old Summer Palace to Tianjin, Zeng Guofan, the governor of Zhili, did not dare to slack off, and immediately arranged for special personnel to escort these treasures into Beijing by starry night. After the Ministry of Internal Affairs counted and inspected according to the book, these treasures were specially stored in a side hall of Jianfu Palace. The Empress Dowager Cixi was overjoyed when she learned the news, and immediately took the Tongzhi Emperor, together with Prince Gong and other important ministers, to appreciate the treasure.

"Sixth Master, look at it, what are these things?"

The Empress Dowager Cixi pointed to the twelve bronze animal statues placed in the center of the hall and said to Prince Gong.

"This is the bronze head ......of the 12 zodiac signs of the hydraulic clock in front of the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace" Prince Gong looked at these bronze statues that had gone through vicissitudes, and tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.

Haiyan Hall is one of the old scenery of the Yuan Ming Dynasty, built in the 24th year of Qianlong. The word "Haiyan" means "Heqing Haiyan, Guotai Min'an", which means that the water flow of the Yellow River is clear and the sea is calm. This phrase is used as a metaphor for the peace of the world, and has the auspicious meaning of praising world peace. The most famous facility of Haiyan Hall is the Zodiac Hydraulic Clock.

The bronze beast heads in front of you are part of the hydraulic clock of the year.

The portrait of the Twelve Lives was originally on the 12 stone platforms on the north and south banks of the fan-shaped pool fountain in front of the Haiyan Hall of the Western Building of the Old Summer Palace. The south shore is Zi Rat, Yin Hu, Chen Long, Wu Ma, Shen Monkey, and Xu Dog; On the north shore, they are ugly cows, rabbits, snakes, sheep, roosters, and pigs. These portraits are all animal heads and human bodies, about 5 meters high, with copper heads and stone bodies, with hollow water jets connected to them, and water is sprayed from their mouths every other hour to represent the portraits of that hour; At noon, the fountain gushes out of the mouth of the portrait of the twelve beings at the same time, which is a spectacle.

The bright sunlight shone in through the window, shining on these delicate animal heads, making them shine with a dark golden light, and they looked lifelike. Despite the vicissitudes of life, these bronze statues have not been corroded at all.

Originally, the body of these bronze statues of the zodiac was carved in stone and dressed in robes, the head was cast in copper, the casting was fine, and the subtleties such as folds and fluff on the head of the beast were carved clearly and realistically. The reason why there is no rust is because the material used to cast the animal head is the red copper refined by the Qing court at that time, which has a deep color on the outside and a fine light on the inside, which can be worn for a hundred years without rusting, which is a must.

At that time, these bronze animal heads were carefully made by the craftsmen of the manufacturing office, not only the casting is finely finished, but the surface is also carved with fine chisel work, such as the animal fluff and other subtleties are chiseled and chiseled, clear and realistic, the nose, eyes, ears and other key parts and the nose and neck folds are very delicate, without a trace of sloppiness, showing a very high level of craftsmanship. Moreover, unlike traditional Chinese freehand imagery, they are very realistic, with a strong realistic style, which can be said to have a strong sense of traditional Chinese beauty, but also integrate the characteristics of Western plastic arts.

"I remember that back then, these 12 zodiac signs were arranged in a figure-eight shape on both sides of a pool in front of Haiyan Hall. Every day, these 12 zodiac signs take turns to spray water, representing different times of the day, and at noon, the 12 images will be sprayed at the same time, which is very spectacular. The Empress Dowager Cixi remembered the time when she was celebrating the festival in Haiyan Hall, and said in a daze, "Do you remember the sixth master?" ”

Yi Xin looked at these bronze statues of beast heads, noticed that some of the bronze statues had traces of smashing, and remembered the past when the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace in the past, and his face looked a little gloomy.

That is, when the Old Summer Palace was on fire, in the face of the threat of foreigners' guns, he signed the humiliating "Beijing Treaty".

"I can't imagine that after so many years, I can see the remnants of the beautiful scenery of the past again......," the Empress Dowager Cixi choked up, "If Emperor Daxing can see the return of the national treasure, I don't know how to be happy ......."

"Taking copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly, and taking history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall." Prince Gong stroked the bronze beast's head, and his words were filled with indescribable grief and indignation, "Today's return of the national treasure can be a lesson for today. Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future.. If I don't work hard to improve myself, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no day when there will be no decline in the future. I hope that all the ministers will have insight into the true feelings of China and foreign countries in the world, and do not forget the reality of the fame, and forget the long-term plan if you are common, then the country will be very fortunate! All the people of the world are very fortunate! ”

Hearing Prince Gong's words, the important ministers who came to view the treasure fell to their knees one after another, and they all claimed to be.

Emperor Tongzhi, who had not said a word, looked at Prince Gong and then at his mother, although the displeasure in his mother's eyes flashed, but he was still caught by his son, and he couldn't help but secretly worry about Prince Gong.
