Chapter 785: Three Artifacts and Lan Luxury

"Since the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom has decided to change his name to the King of the Wa Slaves, then it is useless for the three artifacts to stay in the Wa Kingdom, and these three things will be given to me as antiques. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info "How many treasures did the Wa Kingdom rob in China back then?" Now it's their turn to enjoy that treatment.

In calligraphy alone, there are calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi's handwritten "Funeral Post", "Two Thanks", and "Deshi Post" hidden in the palace of the Wa Kingdom, and there are countless copies of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface"; Wang Xianzhi's "Dihuang Soup Post", Chu Suiliang's "Master Meng's Tablet", "Emperor Wen's Book of Mourning", and Su Shi's "Cold Food Post" were first hidden in Tokyo and then returned to the Treasure Island Palace Museum; The oldest writing scripture in the world, "Bodhisattva Virgin Sutra" five stickers, in addition to Yan Zhenqing, Ouyang Xun, Zhu Yunming, Dong Qichang and other calligraphy masters of countless treasures.

The calligraphy and painting include Li Di's "Red and White Hibiscus", the Song Dynasty's "Portrait of a Quasi-Teacher", "Xiaoxiang Lying Tour", and Master Muxi's "Guanyin Ape and Crane"; porcelain has Yaobian, Tianmu tea bowl, etc.; Musical instruments include luodian, rosewood, five-stringed pipa, etc.; Bronze artifacts such as tiger cannibals, etc., these are national treasures that the Palace Museum does not have, except for a small number of envoys from the Tang Dynasty and monks who traveled east to Japan, most of the rest were snatched back to their homeland by the Japanese in the war after the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Every time he sees similar news on the Internet, Li You is heartbroken, now that he has the opportunity to finally take revenge, how can he miss it? So as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for the three most cherished treasures of the Wa Kingdom, these three artifacts are the Tiancong Cloud Sword, the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade and the eight-foot mirror, it is said that when the Heavenly Sun came, the Amaterasu God granted the Qiong Qiong Pestle and the treasure inherited by the Japanese Emperor from generation to generation, in terms of status and the Central Plains Jiuding, the jade seal of the country, is a symbol of the orthodox status of the Wa royal family, but now that they have removed the name of the emperor, then it is enough to have the gold seal of the Wa Nu King as a symbol of inheritance.

Of course, with the passage of history, the fate of these three artifacts is also extremely ill-fortunate, at the end of the Heian period, the source of the family general Gen Yoshitsune led the troops into Kyoto, and the Heike in Kyoto brought the three artifacts and the young Emperor Ander fled to the sea, after the source Yoshitsune and the Hei family fought the altar Pu, the Hei family was defeated, Taira Kiyomori's wife Usual son, that is, the grandmother of Emperor Ander with the three artifacts in her arms and committed suicide, the source Yoshitsune sent someone to salvage the three artifacts, and finally only got the mirror and the seal, and the whereabouts of the Tiancong Cloud Sword are unknown; Today, the mirrors and jade collected by the royal family of the Wa Kingdom may still be genuine, but the Tiancong Cloud Sword is probably a counterfeit.

However, Li You didn't care, the most important thing in plundering the three artifacts was to weaken the legitimacy of the emperor, and replacing it with the golden seal of the Japanese slave king was to confirm the fact that the Japanese kingdom had been a vassal of the Central Plains since ancient times, as long as these three things were not in the Japanese kingdom itself.

As soon as he heard that he wanted these three things, all the daimyo and ministers who were loyal to the emperor immediately turned pale, but the emperor today did not have the same lofty status as when militarism prevailed in later generations, so without much difficulty, Li You got these three things, and as for the price, each of them was worth a debt of 10,000 taels of silver.

"In addition, it is reported that Shusheng's "Funeral Post" is now also hidden in the Wa Kingdom, which is an inherent thing in my Central Plains, and you need to find it and return it to me Daming, but this thing is not worth the compensation." There are two theories about how the "Funeral Post" flowed into the Wa Kingdom, one is that it was brought back to the Wa Kingdom by sending Tang envoys, and the other is that it arrived in the Wa Kingdom with the ship when Jianzhen crossed to the east, which has a history of more than 800 years, and it is time for this national treasure to return to the Central Plains.

Tokugawa Hidetada and others had no objection to this, and then Li You began to ask for another national treasure of the Japanese Kingdom, "It is said that Lan is known as the world's first incense? These treasures are not something you can enjoy, and they should be offered to my Ming Emperor. ”

Tasting incense is also a long-standing culture in the Central Plains, among many spices, agarwood is the most valuable, and Lan luxury is a huge piece of agarwood, usually get a big nail cover agarwood is amazing, and Lan luxury is more than one meter long and weighs more than 20 catties.

With Li You's order, Lan Yu was also sent to him, and as soon as he put it on the table in front of Li You, he smelled a burst of fragrance, which made people feel refreshed; There are several notches on the cone-shaped spice, and two of them are accompanied by small notes, which read, "Ashikaga Yoshimasa, September of the second year of Kansho, about two inches of cut", "Oda Nobunaga, March of the second year of Tensho, one inch and eight minutes", which are the marks left by the great figures in the history of the Japanese kingdom.

Originally, there should have been three such notes, and one was "Tokugawa Ieyasu, June of the seventh year of Keichō, one inch and eight minutes", but unfortunately Tokugawa Ieyasu did not hang up until the seventh year of Keichō, and he had no chance to enjoy this strange fragrance; Come to think of it, even great figures in the history of the Japanese kingdom such as Ashikaga Yoshimasa and Oda Nobunaga can only intercept a small segment, which shows the preciousness of this Lan luxury, but now it was directly packed and taken away by Li You.

"Well, this thing is good, it's worth 20,000 taels of silver." Li You said lightly after tasting it, this price is also deliberately done by him, and the price of Lan's luxury is more expensive than any of the three artifacts, which is also the meaning of belittling the three artifacts.

After these most famous things were claimed, Li You began to ponder other things, and among the national treasures selected by the Wa Kingdom in later generations, about 20% were castles, Buddhist temples, shrines and other buildings, and the remaining 80% were paintings, scrolls, deed scriptures, calligraphy works, metal crafts, Japanese swords, textiles, wood, bronze, lacquer or stone sculptures, pottery, lacquerware and other handicrafts, as well as archaeological and historical relics.

Most of the artworks such as paintings and sculptures are the result of learning the Central Plains civilization, and there is no meaning to the Ming Dynasty, so Li You had to choose the Japanese knife that has been loved by the gentry of the Central Plains since ancient times, "Hey, you have nothing to do with the Japanese country, and there are still some means to build knives, so take all the famous knives of the Japanese country!" ”

"Where is the great canon?" The Taiben is the heirloom of the Ashikaga shogun, and due to the fall of the Ashikaga clan, it was owned by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he was the head of the five swords of the Wa Kingdom.

"Shuzhu Pill Hengji, Tongzi Che Angang, Three Days Moon Zongjin, and Onimaru Kunitsuna, so let's bring them too." The other four swords were also not spared.

"There are also Kikuichi Monomune, Aoi Moru Echizen Yasutsugi, Horikawa Kunihiro, Izumi Mamoru Kanedada, Nagaso Yatoru Toru, Raiche, Famous Thing Obanya Nagamitsu, Muramasa ......" Li You reported the names of a series of swords that he had an impression of when he first watched the anime, "pack them all and take them away." ”
