Chapter 712 Nine Dragons Seize the Tea Set 2
In the fifteenth year of Kangxi (1675), Kangxi established the second elder brother Yinren as the crown prince (2 years old), and the crown prince became arrogant and arrogant in the future. In the forty-second year of Kangxi (1703), Kangxi killed Suo Etu, and the relationship between father and son tended to be tense. In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi (1708), in the Bur Hasu Palace in the Mulan Enclosure, Emperor Kangxi announced the abolition of the crown prince on the grounds that the crown prince Yinren "did not obey the ancestors, did not follow the precepts, but wantonly abused the crowd and was violent". After that, many elder brothers began to covet the throne.
The eldest brother Yinren is the eldest son, he has never been liked by Kangxi, and he knows that he is hopeless, so he proposed to Kangxi that the eighth elder brother Yinren will be very expensive because "the warlock Zhang Mingde will be very expensive if he tastes Yinren", and said that he would kill Yinren for his father, which made Kangxi extremely chilled and severely reprimanded, and at the same time strictly guarded against Yinren. Yinxi was raised by the eldest brother's mother, Concubine Hui, when he was a child, so the eldest brother had a good relationship with him. At this time, the third elder brother Yinzhi exposed the matter of the eldest brother engaging in the town of Weizhen and harming Yinren, and Kangxi imprisoned the eldest brother. Kangxi was disgusted with Yinxi's collusion with Yinxi, and also imprisoned him, and later released him. In March of the forty-eighth year of Kangxi (1709), the status of Prince Yinren was restored. At the end of the 50th year of Kangxi's reign, the defendant formed a party with Qi Shiwu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Tuo Heqi, the commander of the infantry army, and Geng E, the secretary of the Ministry of War. In September of the 51st year of Kangxi (1712), he issued an edict again to abolish the crown prince. Since then, the abolished prince has been imprisoned until death. Seeing this chaos, the third elder brother Yinzhi took the initiative to withdraw from the competition.
After Yinren was abolished again, the eighth elder brother Yinyu turned to support the fourteenth elder brother Yinyu (the fourth elder brother has the same maternal brother), the ninth elder brother Yinyu, the tenth elder brother Yinyu, and the vassal eighth elder brother Yinyu. Thirteen elder brother Yinxiang vassals and four elder brother Yinzhen. After the prince was deposed for the first time, Yinzhen dared to say good things for Yinren, which was ******. After Yinren was abolished for the second time, Yinzhen saw that Yinren had no possibility of re-establishment, and began to form a party for personal gain, peeking at the storage position. At this time, two major forces were formed: the Four Masters Party headed by Yinzhen and the Eight Masters Party headed by Yinci.
In the sixty-first year of Kangxi (1722), Emperor Kangxi died of illness in Changchun Garden, when the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen supported by the Eight Masters Party was far away in the northwest, and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen stayed in Beijing. Kangxi's close minister infantry commander Long Keduo (Yinzhen's uncle) announced that Kangxi would declare Yinzhen to inherit the throne as Emperor Yongzheng. In the future, the Eight Masters were persecuted. The nine sons won the heir, and Yongzheng won.
In order to prevent the tragedy of fighting for the throne between brothers, Yongzheng implemented the secret reserve system from then on, and no longer openly set up the crown prince, and the emperor wrote an edict and placed it in the Qianqing Palace after the bright plaque, until the emperor died and the descendants could open and announce the heir.
This is the legendary "Nine Dragons Seize the Heir"! Hehe, it seems that this kung fu tea set has not been said, but two stories have been told to you. You two, it's addictive to listening to stories!" Xu Yang said with a smile.
"Husband, you want to talk about it yourself, by the way, now you can tell me about the origin of this tea set, but this tea set is really beautiful and domineering after going to the outer layer!" Su Xiaoxiao said with a teacup.
"Actually, the story is very simple, you all know that there was a person who was even more famous than Qianlong during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the famous corrupt official He Shen in history! He won Qianlong's favor in his life, and it can be said that he is the real one person above ten million people. Just when Lord Qianlong was about to give way, how could Qianlong, as Qianlong's most favored courtier, not contribute, and this was also related to whether their family could hold each other for generations. It can be said that all the elder brothers in the entire prince expressed the idea of killing Heshen. This is actually the exam question Qianlong left for his son.
He Shen must die, he is actually the biggest inheritance that Qianlong left to his children and grandchildren. At that time, the fifteenth prince Hao Yan really didn't think so, he saw some in the examination questions of Lord Qianlong, so his fold said that He Shen was not guilty! Of course, this matter was known to He Shen. One of the so many princes likes his own, of course, he has to stammer. Later, as everyone knows, Hao Yan really became the emperor, that is, Jiaqing. The monk thought he was at ease. In "The Banquet of a Thousand Suo", He Shen is of course the protagonist. And in order to highlight the martial arts of Qianlong's life. At the "Qiansuo Banquet", after the banquet, He Shen presented a set of tea sets for Qianlong's special treatment, and it is well known that Qianlong loves tea. And he likes to collect cultural relics, which is also a matter of eternal importance, so in his collection, there are famous porcelains in history.
Therefore, there is no record in history of who He Shen found, but it is said that he is a porcelain master, and he is a hidden master. It took tens of millions of taels to collect the world's strange soil and make this set of Nine Dragons to win the heir.
It is said that at that time, he Shen offered a tea set, which was deeply liked by Lord Qianlong. However, Qianlong died later, and this set of tea sets was also buried with him. Later, Qianlongye's mausoleum was forcibly broken open by warlords, and all the cultural relics inside were taken away. And this set of tea sets has become a perfect sound! It's just a flash in the pan in the Qing Dynasty. I didn't expect to reappear in the world today!"
"Really, but I don't think there's anything peculiar about this tea set, it's all cracks. If you want to say that it is strange, at most, it is the dragon that makes it vivid. "Su Xiaoxiao still didn't see where this tea set was good!
"Hehe, good things can't be seen like this, and if that's the case, the good things won't be left in my hands. Xu Yang said with a smile. At this time, the work in the hands also stopped, and all the nine tea sets were cleaned up, and after they were placed there at this time, they could see the extraordinary nature of the tea sets.
Dragons have nine sons, and the nine sons do not become dragons, each with its own advantages. The eldest prisoner of the ox, likes music, squatting on the head of the piano; the second is yazi, thirsty for killing and fighting, carved on the knife ring, the hilt of the sword swallows the mouth; the third laughs at the wind, his life is dangerous, and the horned beast of the temple is his posthumous image; the fourth son Pu Prison roars loudly when he is hit, and acts as the beast button of the Hong Zhong Liang, helping it to sound far and wide; the fifth son is suanni, shaped like a lion, likes smoke and sits well, leans on the foot of the incense burner, and then swallows smoke and spits smoke; the sixth son of Baxia (there is also another name, the box is regarded as a word, [worm eight] [worm summer]), also known as the sting(bixi), like a turtle with teeth, like to bear weight, the turtle under the stele is also; seven sons of the relentless (bi'an), shaped like a tiger good lawsuit, there are its images on both sides of the prison door or the main hall of the official office; eight sons of the negative 屃 (fuxi), the body is like a dragon, Ya Hao Siwen, coiled on the top of the head of the stone tablet; the old nine mantis kiss (chien), also known as the owl tail or the owl (chi) kiss, the mouth is moist and the throat is thick and easy to swallow, then become the swallowing beast at both ends of the temple ridge, take it to extinguish the fire and eliminate the disaster. !
The reason for introducing the nine sons of the dragon is, firstly, about the name of this set of tea sets, and secondly, that this set of tea sets is indeed a dragon on top of each tea set! This is the meaning of the Nine Dragons.
The tea set is porcelain, and the ice cracked porcelain in the kiln among the porcelain. This type of porcelain is characterized by a natural cracking of the glaze. There are two reasons for cracking: one is that the blank mud extends in a certain direction during molding, which affects the arrangement of molecules. Second, the expansion coefficient of billet and glaze is different, and the shrinkage rate of the glaze layer is large when cooling after roasting. It was originally a shortcoming in porcelain firing, but people deliberately used the law of cracking to make open glaze as a special decoration of porcelain. It is most famous for the products of the Song Dynasty kiln. The open glaze can be divided into two categories in the production: one is the filling type, which fills the fired glaze cracks with soot and so on, and the texture is black, and the cracks can also be filled with colorants such as copper sulfate, showing brown-green lines. The other type is the covering type, which is covered with a layer of color glaze on the bottom glaze after roasting, and then roasted again, showing cracks, revealing the color of the bottom glaze. According to the sparse cracks and different graphics, the opening pieces are called ice cracks, caviar patterns, garbage crushes, crab claw patterns, cow hair patterns and eel blood patterns. Counting nine cold winters, freezing three feet, holding a mallet or stone on it, the ice surface will rattle, and many white lines will appear, which people call ice cracks.
This criss-cross pattern was first applied to traditional art, and it is Chinese porcelain that is famous all over the world. Among them, the opening piece on the kiln is an excellent example. The so-called "open piece", that is, ice cracks, the expansion coefficient of the tire glaze is different, resulting in cracks on the glaze, which is actually a defect, but it is cleverly used as a decorative pattern by porcelain craftsmen, and the effect is exquisite, with a sense of natural and ingenious workmanship. The ancients said: "The character of the official kiln is the same as that of the brother kiln, and the color is pink and blue, followed by light white." Oil gray, color also underneath. The pattern is taken as the ice crack, the plum blossom piece ink is second, the fine broken lines, and the lines are also under the lines. It can be seen that its unique beauty has long won the love of the ancients, and regarded it as a rare treasure!
Xu Yang's acquisition is the best of the best, the ice crack vein, just like the dragon lin, vivid, making the opening of the linlin more vivid. In this way, this thing is already the best of the best, but Xu Yang always thinks that this level alone is not enough for Qianlong to love. Xu Yang also doesn't think that the master who makes porcelain is just a master, at least at the level of a grandmaster, but the performance of all aspects of this tea set has reached the master's work, especially in some places that are better, but there are some missing, as for what is missing? Xu Yang really can't figure it out. That's right! The aura flashed, but it lacked aura!
This tea set is divided into nine pieces. Teapot, bowl, sea of tea, smell fragrant, tea washing, tea filter, tea tray, tea can, tea cup!
It seems to be incomplete, for example, there is no teaspoon or needle, but in the world, there is no perfect, and sometimes the more incomplete the better. In addition, if these things are put in it, it will not be able to make a Kowloon tea set.
Nine tea sets with the nine sons of the dragon, it is indeed a little shocking, the most important thing is that this set of tea sets and other tea has one of the biggest differences, he is different from other tea sets, other kung fu tea sets are all fun with the public, such as smelling cups, tasting cups must have at least a few sets, and here is only one set, that is to say, only for one person!
If you think about it, you can understand what kind of person Qianlong is, no matter what he does, he will not share such a set of tea sets with others!
