Literature records: In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, traitorous ministers were in power, the government was chaotic, the people were suffering, and the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty gradually declined. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In August of the 21st year of Zhenyuan, Li Chun of Tang Xianzong ascended the throne and began to make great efforts, reuse virtuous and virtuous, reform maladministration, revitalize the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and create another prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty of "Yuan and Zhongxing".

This Emperor Li Chun, diligent in political affairs, tried to prosper, only devoted to national affairs, and did not have much interest in other pleasures, but only had a slight preference for the tea ceremony.

According to records, when the celadon lotus leaf bowl first appeared, just as Emperor Li Chun was forty-three years old, Lu Zhong, the deputy supervisor of the Liupin Middle Pastor, presented a set of four celadon lotus leaf bowls in the palace as a birthday tribute.

In the Tang Dynasty, the official position of the central animal husbandry supervisor was mainly to manage the development of animal husbandry in the city-state, similar to the current position of the director of the municipal animal husbandry bureau. The deputy supervisor is naturally an official in charge of animal husbandry at the level of deputy director.

According to common sense, a petty official with such a position, even if he pays a birthday gift, is unlikely to be favored by the emperor, but things in the world are often so unexpected. Emperor Li Chun saw a set of four celadon lotus leaf bowls, Longyan was very happy, couldn't put it down, and immediately issued an edict to promote Lu Zhongguan to the third grade, and was named the third grade of the Chinese book order, and took office the next month.

The post of Zhongshu Ling, in the Tang Dynasty, was the third grade of the Great Yuan, the highest governor of Zhongshu Province, responsible for drafting the edict, and helping the emperor to deal with government affairs in the court.

After a deputy director of the Animal Husbandry Bureau gave four tea bowls, he inexplicably became the prime minister of the country. In the eyes of all the ministers of the DPRK and China, this is undoubtedly a perfect counterattack, and its repercussions can be imagined.

In fact, if you change those mediocre emperors who give officials and lands according to their personal preferences, this matter is not a big deal. However, this Tang Xianzong Li Chun is not only not a mediocre person, but also known as the "third son" who can be compared with Taizong Li Shimin and Xuanzong Li Longji.

So for a while, the government and the opposition were really shocked, the ministers were in an uproar, and everyone began to speculate about the mystery. At the same time, the ministers of the court and the central government also began to secretly investigate the origin of this set of four celadon lotus leaf bowls.

Although the celadon lotus leaf bowl is produced by Yue kiln, whether it is the design drawing, the material, or even the production process, it is completed by Lu Zhong alone. In the kiln, there is no record of this matter.

The historical record of what happened next is a little bit unbelievable. After the birthday banquet, less than a month later, Tang Xianzong Li Chun died, according to the literature, Emperor Li Chun was killed by the eunuch Chen Hongzhi in the palace.

Originally, the killing of the king and the assassination of the driver have also happened in all dynasties, and it is indeed not too unusual. But the problem is that the benevolent brother who killed Emperor Li Chun was a favored eunuch by the emperor's side.

Eunuchs, that is, eunuchs, have also seen it in costume dramas or movies, as eunuchs around the emperor, all of them are people who put their hearts into their hearts.

And on the day of the emperor's death, these henchmen and eunuchs were either martyred for the lord, or they lost power and died of old age in the palace. The eunuch killed his master? Isn't this tantamount to ruining one's future and life? Therefore, the statement that the eunuch killed the lord is difficult to convince.

The day after Li Chun's death, Lu Zhong was also found and died tragically at home, and his death was also strange and inexplicable. It is rumored that Lu Zhong's body was found kneeling in his room supported by two iron bars. The iron bar supported the ground at one end, and pierced Lu Zhong's shoulder blades on both sides to prevent the body from falling.

What's even more penetrating is that the head of the corpse was pierced by dense steel needles, and the death was extremely miserable, which was simply terrifying. Pity this Lu Zhong, he tried his best to offer treasures, but before he touched the three-grade big ingot seal, he died inexplicably, and he still died so miserably.

Lu Zhong died tragically, and the refining method of the celadon lotus leaf bowl naturally became a mystery for the ages like Li Chun was killed, and there was no way to find it......

At the end of the document, it is said that this set of four celadon lotus leaf bowls was buried in Jingling with Emperor Li Chun, and he was buried in the underground forever.

But what is quite strange is that when the country explored Jingling later, it did not find the whereabouts of the celadon lotus leaf cup in the burial items. Because there were obvious traces of tomb robbers in Jingling at that time, it is inferred that this object should have been stolen by tomb robbers and disappeared.

Because the cause of Emperor Li Chun's death is a mystery full of speculation, there are not many narratives about this story in history, and there are even fewer specific records about celadon lotus leaf bowls.

It was only out of curiosity that I consulted some simple descriptions of this pot in some ancient books, which only roughly marked the shape and size of the celadon lotus leaf bowl and the design diagram.

As for what is different about the celadon lotus leaf bowl, it is really unknown that it can be so favored by Tang Xianzong......

I stared at the two tea cups with tea on the table, so I hung my jaw and dropped my chin, and the horror in my heart was indescribable, could it be that what was in front of me was really the legendary celadon lotus leaf cup? No way! Can't you? If this thing is genuine, it is absolutely priceless, and it is really used to hold tea?

"Boy, what are you doing? The eyeballs are almost falling out of the bowl. Jin Buchang pushed me with a little confusion: "What? Haven't seen tea yet? ”

I came back to my senses, and hurriedly pretended to be calm and coughed twice, and there was a hoarse and piercing laugh from Master Mu's ears: "Giggles, the old man's family doesn't have anything to entertain the two, this is the first-class big red robe just shipped from Wuyi Mountain in Fujian yesterday, I hope the two of you don't dislike it." ”

Master Mu's words were still not hurried or impatient, his voice was hoarse and low, although it was extremely polite, but the more I listened to it, the more it was not a taste. Rich man! That's all about to take off, big red robe? It's still newly shipped from Wuyi Mountain. I rely on this kind of high-end atmospheric and high-grade tea, I also drank it once during the Chinese New Year, and it was brought to my father when my uncle came.

Of course, it's not a taste, it's not a taste, I still picked up the teacup, put it in front of my nose and smelled it gently, sure enough, it was a high-end tea, and a faint refreshing aroma came to my nose. I took a deep breath out of my nose, and the faint aroma was even better, and there was a bit of peach aroma. Take a sip slightly, the entrance of this tea is not bitter, the tea in the mouth is extremely viscous, the texture is strong, after swallowing, the mouth is still sweet and fragrant, full of aftertaste.

This one...... I savored the aroma of tea in my mouth, and I always felt that compared to the previous drink of Da Hong Pao, the taste was obviously stronger. I can't help but feel a little strange in my heart, could it be that the gap between the newly picked and transported ones and the ones that I drank before is really so big?

Jin Buchang didn't seem to be very interested in tea, so he grabbed the teacup directly, poured it all into his mouth, and then shook Erlang's legs, and kept turning the teacup over and over in his hand and playing with it.

I frowned slightly, it seems that this product really didn't recognize the value of the tea cup in his hand, so he would play with the treasure in his hand so unscrupulously.

"What do you two think?" When Mr. Mu saw the two of us drinking tea, he continued to ask.

I hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't bear the curiosity in my heart, and raised the teacup in my hand: "Master Mu is really polite, this tea is indeed a first-class tea, but this teacup is probably a real treasure." I pretended to smile mysteriously before continuing: "It is rumored that before Tang Xianzong died, he was happy to get four celadon lotus leaf cups, which seemed to be treasures, I wonder if this is the thing?" ”

"It's really a hero out of a teenager." Master Mu smiled with a little appreciation: "Nowadays, there are probably not many people who still recognize this celadon lotus leaf cup, young man, promising, giggle......"
