Chapter 778: Reaching the Peak
Song Siyuan couldn't help it, and wanted to climb Yueyang Tower, but when everyone walked to the door, they were immediately stopped.
"Who are you?" The leader was the gold-rimmed glasses literati they saw just now, dressed in gray and black civilization and very serious, similar to the clerks in the political court.
"This place is Yueyang's archives, and you can't trespass on anything."
The man with glasses showed no mercy, and the meaning was already very clear, and idle people like them were probably not allowed to enter.
"Official, this is not right, three years ago, Yueyang Tower could still enter casually, why don't you let it in now?"
Zhu Fushun became curious, and asked with a smile, I don't know what the official position is, and I use the official lord to honorifially call him.
"That was before, three years ago, Jin Daochang and Master Hua repaired the inscription here, and most of the documents in it have been flooded and are no longer on display, so please go back."
The man with the eyes said very resolutely, but the reason was not unreasonable, it is estimated that the flood three years ago did wash away a lot of literature.
"Or, no matter how accommodating we are, we are from other places, so we want to take a look at Yueyang Tower, and we will go downstairs and let us go back."
Song Siyuan just wanted to stuff it into the silver yuan, but was immediately blocked back by the man with glasses, and his honest face was flushed: "If you don't let in, you won't let in, and it's not that I deliberately embarrass you, Yueyang Building has to repair a lot of literature every month, and people have long been stopped from coming here casually." ”
While they were arguing, the second-floor window creaked open, and a familiar figure stepped out of it, standing against the railing facing the sun, and this person was Jin Daochang.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, call them in~"
"Good!"
After Song Siyuan took them to cross the threshold, it can be seen that the mahogany screen is written in gold lacquer "The Story of Yueyang Tower", and then there are countless literati tables inside, which are full of books that have been opened and sunburned, and the morning sun spills into the room from the flower window, and the dust floats in the room, shining golden and brilliant.
A few of them went upstairs, and the second floor was a bookshelf warehouse, where Jin Daochang and Monk Hua were there, each wearing glasses, and was looking through ancient books.
"Chief Jin, why are you here?"
Song Siyuan was really curious, and after the previous few things, she was even more sure that this Jin Dao Chief was quite psychic.
Jin Daochang said unhurriedly and slowly: "Three years ago, Yueyang Tower flooded the city, Yueyang Tower was also destroyed, and the books on the first floor were flooded a lot. ”
He paused, picked up a book and opened the sticky plates: "Ancient books are mostly brewed with water, and some of the handwriting is no longer legible. ”
"Speaking of which, Yueyanglou has preserved many local chronicles and historical ancient books since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it can be said that the volumes are huge, and they are all ancient texts, and it is not so easy to repair, we have both been here for three years, and these cultural relics scholars are busy together, and barely repair less than half."
"You guys are here? What do you want to do? ”
Jin Daochang's eyes are gentle and do not allow people to lie.
"We are looking for Yueyang Fangzhi about the friendship between the two Song Dynasty."
Before Song Siyuan's words fell, a strange look flashed in Jin Daochang's eyes, and he quickly returned to normal: "In this way, fortunately, the two Song Dynasty belong to the Middle Ages, and most of the ancient books are on the second floor, and they have not been destroyed by water, so ask Master Hua to take you to find it." ”
The flower monk on the side took them over countless pavilions, counted the shelves and bookshelves, came to one of the prescription grids, pointed to them and said: "This is the ancient books and calligraphy and paintings of the Southern Song and Northern Song dynasties, you can take a look, I don't know what you are looking for." ”
After speaking, Monk Hua withdrew from the compartment, leaving only Song Siyuan and them looking for calligraphy and paintings. 33
"According to the records of the inscription, this ship was not only escorted to the north of the Taifu Cang treasures in the north, but it was probably not long after the imperial city of the Northern Song Dynasty began to be breached, and according to historical records, it was the first year of Jingkang to the second year of Jingkang."
Song Siyuan spoke, constantly looking for the chronicles, these chronicles did not mark the year in order to save the book material, but were divided into books every fifty years, and only marked the recorded year number on the spine of the book.
This Fang Zhi is about the size of a pot lid, the square Zhou Zhengruo is half an arm long, the surface is framed with a hard shell to make silk and satin, and the regular script text of "Yueyang Fang Zhi" is written, and there is a specific year name after it.
For convenience, she simply took out all the five or six Fang Zhi books from the two Song Dynasty and three hundred years, took them to the literati table by the window on the second floor, and carefully searched for the information in them.
From early morning to noon, Song Siyuan was engrossed in the book, and when she was sure that she had eyebrows, she finally saw joy in her eyes.
"The treasure ships of the Southern Song Dynasty are indeed recorded."
Song Siyuan coughed a few times and introduced the information she had found.
In the same year that the imperial city of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty was broken, the Jin State successively occupied the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin people came from the northeast, and were a branch of the Sushen people, both a foreign race and an enemy country, because the degree of civilization was too low, and they had not even entered the feudal era, just a barbarian who stayed in the tribal era, and was evaluated by the Song people as the most lowly person in Yidi.
Such an unbearable country, once occupied the Northern Song Dynasty, it was completely a disaster of the Song Dynasty, wherever the Jin soldiers went, burned, killed and looted all kinds of evil, every place must go straight to the local treasury, looting the silver hidden in the official mansion into the air, if it is not enough to be greedy, then search the house one by one, if you do not pay the gold and silver, you will kill, and even, force the people to exchange their wives and children for money.
In this way, it was almost achieved to enter the country and break the country, enter the city and break the city, and break the family, and the poor people of the Northern Song Dynasty regressed directly from the civilized society to the barbaric era where the safety of their lives could not be guaranteed.
The most persecuted by the Jin State was the imperial city of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty and its affiliated people.
As early as before Bianjing was breached, the Jin State had several times under the city, to ask the Northern Song Dynasty Imperial City to ask for gold and silver, if not to give, the city will be broken into the burning, killing and looting, Song Huizong was timid and afraid, did not dare to take responsibility, and quickly gave the throne to Qinzong, after that, Qinzong was even more incompetent, and even had to go to Jinying to negotiate in person, and the final result was nothing more than cutting land and losing money.
It can be said that after the Jin soldiers squeezed the imperial city of the Northern Song Dynasty dry, they took advantage of the difficulty of the imperial city to break into the city, and looted gold and silver in the city, until they could no longer find a drop of oil and water, and then escorted Huizong, Empress Zheng, princes, imperial grandsons, concubines, princesses, concubines, etc. all the way north along Huazhou.
At the same time, the soldiers escorted 100,000 people, including Qinzong, Empress Zhu, the crown prince, the clan, the musicians, the craftsmen and the common people, from Zhengcheng to continue northward, during which they almost all the treasures, books, maps, treasures and artifacts in the royal treasury were looted.
So far, the city that has evolved into the pinnacle of Chinese culture for thousands of years has been completely destroyed by the Jin soldiers.
Some people died, but not completely......
