Chapter 798: Taking Stock of the Family (Final)
The treasure of the Pirate King also reminded Yang Jing of the simple big white, I don't know if that big guy has found a daughter-in-law in Siberia now, and whether he likes to be a father......
Shaking his head, Yang Jing expelled Dabai from his mind and continued to look at the treasure below.
The next treasure that occupies a large area is the treasure that Yang Jing harvested the most during his trip to the North Pole last year, the treasure of the last Tsar Nicholas II.
On March 8, 1917, the second month of the Russian calendar, the Bolshevik Party led the February Revolution in Petrograd and finally ended more than 300 years of Romanov rule in Russia.
Even before the February Revolution, Nicholas II felt that the situation was very wrong, and began to secretly send some of the precious antiques and works of art stored in the Winter Palace, as well as up to 1,600 tons of gold in the state treasury. It is possible that the wealth accumulated by the Romanov dynasty for more than three hundred years will eventually fall into the hands of Nicholas II's diehard General Kolchak.
However, in the face of the powerful offensive of the Red Army, even Kolchak could not resist it, and finally had to brave the bitter cold to advance into Eastern Siberia. In Krasnoyarsk, Kolchak realized that he might not be able to escape, so he arranged for his top henchman, Kuvaevich Antonov, to carry the precious antiques from the Hermitage all the way north, and eventually buried them in a cave on the Taimel Peninsula.
Among the treasures of the last tsar, there are a large number of rare treasures, and any one of them can cause a huge sensation in the Western world.
The bronze sculpture "David" made by Michelangelo, one of the three masters of the European Renaissance!
The original bronze sculpture of "The Discus Thrower" made by the ancient Greek sculptor Milon himself!
The bronze sculpture of the child holding a goose created by the famous sculptor Boedos of Halcidon in ancient Greece in the third century BC!
Any one of these three bronze sculptures could cause an eight-magnitude earthquake in the Western art world! And in the treasure of Nicholas II, there are far more good things than these three bronze sculptures.
Leonardo da Vinci's favorite painting of Lida and the Swan!
There is also an oil painting that is also an authentic work of Leonardo da Vinci, this oil painting is called "Portrait of a Sculptor"!
Raphael Sanzio's original works "Madonna Under the Tree" and "Madonna of the Smile"!
Two original paintings by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres!
Two original paintings by Paul Cézanne!
There are also authentic works by famous European painters such as Rubens, Monet, Repin, Alexei Safrasov, Ivan Shishkin, Mikhail Vrubel, Ivan Aivazovsky and many others!
......
In addition to oil paintings, there are many precious manuscripts.
Original manuscripts of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace and The Forces of Darkness!
Manuscript of Shakespeare's Hamlet!
The manuscript of Notre-Dame de Paris, written by Victor Hugo, contains about 80,000 words, as well as two other manuscripts by Hugo!
......
In addition, there are a large number of black-and-white photographs and hand-painted portraits in this treasure, such as those of Alexander III and Nicholas II on the throne and their wedding, as well as numerous photographs of the Tsar conversing with members of the royal families of other European countries. As for the hand-painted portraits, they include the entire Tsar and Empress of the Romanov Dynasty......
There are also some precious jewelry, including those worn by Catherine the Great when she ascended the throne, as well as jewelry from the weddings of several tsars and empresses. Among them, the scepter held by Catherine II when she ascended the throne was particularly precious!
As for those superb diamonds, ruby sapphires, emeralds and even jadeite and other gemstones, there are countless of them, and any one of them is the best. After all, these gems were carefully selected by the Romanov dynasty, so how could they be ordinary for the Tsar and Empress?
These gems can only be described in one sentence – they are hard to come by!
In modern times, you don't have the money to buy such a superb gem!
Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned treasures, Yang Jing also found as many as sixteen Fabergé Easter eggs in this treasure, and there was a set of twelve, but never announced to the outside world!
There are a total of 61 Fabergé eggs that are recognized as being lost, and 9 are missing. Among the sixteen Fabergé Easter eggs found by Yang Jing, in addition to four of the nine Fabergé Easter eggs that were missing, the most precious thing is the set of zodiac easter eggs that have never been known to the outside world. This is also the only set of Fabergé Easter eggs, and the value is difficult to measure!
This treasure contains three bronze sculptures that are the only one in the world, as well as paintings by a large number of famous European painters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, as well as manuscripts of Shakespeare, Hugo and Tolstoy, as well as a complete set of 12 zodiac eggs that are rare in that world......
If you count those jewels and those superb gems, even Yang Jing can't judge the value of this treasure! You say that this treasure is worth $10 billion, but if someone wants to give $10 billion, Yang Jing will never sell it......
This treasure is a treasure that Yang Jing is very satisfied with, but in the same way, this treasure also reminds Yang Jing of a person who makes him very sad and disappointed - Lin Dan......
Last year's trip to the North Pole made Yang Jing, Dabai and Lin Dan strangers from now on, and Yang Jing also felt a little sad when he thought about it.
Next to the treasure of the last tsar, there is the treasure that Yang Jing has harvested so far after obtaining the holy ring-Wu Zetian's treasure.
In the Wu Zetian Mausoleum, which was hidden more than 100 meters below the surface of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir, Yang Jing found a large number of extremely precious treasures, one of which was the only super item that Yang Jing had obtained so far, and it was also the most valued treasure by everyone in China - the Seal of the Kingdom!
The heirloom jade seal made by Qin Shi Huang has not been heard from since the disappearance of the late Tang Dynasty, but he was brought to the Wu Zetian Mausoleum by Yue Chengzi, and finally this heirloom jade seal also made a great change in the holy ring, and directly recognized Yang Jing as the master.
In that treasure, Yang Jing got the most precious heirloom jade seal! It's just that the heirloom seal was burned to the point that Yang Jing has not yet begun to repair. Yang Jing planned to wait for a while longer, and wait for a good opportunity to completely restore this heirloom jade seal.
In addition to the national seal, Yang Jing also found a large number of inscriptions in a burial chamber containing burial goods.
Chu Suiliang, one of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, is engraved with the masterpiece "Master Meng's Tablet"!
An inscription by Ouyang Xun, the head of the four families of the early Tang Dynasty!
Liu Gongquan copied the inscription of the book saint Wang Xizhi's "Changfeng Post"!
Zhong Xuan's Xiaokai "Hedong Theory" inscription!
The famous calligrapher Xue Daoheng of the Sui Dynasty "Erzhu Chang Monument"!
The inscription of Wang Kuang's "Good Deeds" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!
Wang Xizhi's fifth son Wang Huizhi's "Crescent Post" inscription!
Eastern Jin Dynasty famous Xie An's "Wei Zhi Zhou Funeral Discussion" inscription!
The Eastern Jin Dynasty powerful minister Huan Wen's "Hu Wen" inscription!
The famous seal script master Li Yangbing in the Tang Xuanzong era engraved the seal script inscription "Three Graves"!
There is also Wang Xizhi's grass stele engraved "Funeral Post"!
......
There are more than 20 inscriptions, all of which are priceless treasures!
Of course, as a devout Buddhist believer, how could Wu Zetian not bury himself with some Buddhist items?
So Yang Jing found one hundred and eight gilded bronze Buddha statues of different shapes in another burial chamber!
A large number of Buddhist scriptures copied by many Sui and Tang calligraphers have also been found. Among these Buddhist scriptures, there is a complete set of "Great Prajna Sutras" compiled by Ouyang Xun, the head of the four great masters of the early Tang Dynasty! There are also other manuscripts of calligraphy masters in the early Tang Dynasty and even in the Sui Dynasty, such as the authentic writings of Chu Suiliang, Yu Shinan, and Xue Ji.
In another burial chamber, Yang Jing also found a room of gold and silver jewelry, jade coral, and more than a dozen Tang Sancai!
Among all the calligraphy and paintings, Buddhist scriptures and funeral goods, the most valuable is Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" authentic!
In addition to the authentic works of the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface", Yang Jing also found a large number of calligraphy and painting funerary goods.
Yan Liben's "Dongshi Rice Shop Opening Map" is a true work!
Yan Liben's own brother Yan Lide painted two portraits of people!
There are also paintings by famous painters such as Zheng Fashi in the early Sui Dynasty, Lu Tanwei in the Southern Dynasty, and Zhanziqian in the Sui Dynasty!
......
Among Wu Zetian's treasures, the highest value found by Yang Jin was the jade seal of the country. But under the jade seal of the country, in terms of the most valuable funeral goods, Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" will definitely not be ranked second, or even ranked third, because there are two sets of national heavy weapons on top of it.
Wu Zetian's imitation of Dayu Jiuding and Qin Twelve Golden People!
Although it is an imitation, its value is definitely not comparable to the original work of "Lanting Collection Preface". Although the status of "Lanting Collection Preface" in the art world is incomparable, it is really far from being compared with Yu Jiuding and Qin Twelve Jinren, who can suppress the national fortune of China for 5,000 years.
If the authenticity of Dayu Jiuding is in the world, its value is even higher than the jade seal of the country!
Although the twelve golden figures of Qin imitated by Wu Zetian are not as big as the twelve golden figures created by Qin Shi Huang, these twelve golden figures are actually forged from gold......
The jade seal of the country, Wu Zetian's imitation of Yu Jiuding and Qin Twelve Golden People are the three sets of treasures with the highest value in this treasure. As for the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" and those inscriptions, hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, and calligraphy and paintings of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the value is no better than those three sets of high-flying treasures.
Those three sets of treasures are the real and true weapons of the country, on the five thousand years of China, in addition to the long-lost Dayu Jiuding genuine and Qin twelve gold people genuine, I am afraid that these three sets of national weapons are the most!
And Yang Jing also knows very well that these three sets of national weapons are not something that he can keep. Keeping this thing here is no different from holding three mushroom bombs with their fuses turned on!
Therefore, when the time is right, Yang Jing will hand over these three sets of national weapons in exchange for his ownership of the other treasures, which is a decision made by Yang Jing after careful consideration......
PS: I suddenly found that Yang Jing's family background is too much, and I haven't finished writing four chapters......
