Chapter 0742: The Emperor's Skull

"The important thing is the mind, whose money is not important, it's vulgar to talk about money, right?" Liu Qingming smiled at Li Jiatu and said. Bayi?Chinese Network =≤≤.≠8≤1≠Z≠≤.ā‰ˆCā‰ˆOā‰ˆM

Zhou Yiru frowned slightly, she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Li Jiatu would reveal her true form again, and she began to squeeze Liu Qingming again, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"It's vulgar to talk about money, but, Liu, I think what Li said is very right, if you want to give Zhou a gift, how can you spend Zhou's money"

John Deutsch said to Liu Qingming. Although he knew in his heart that Liu Qingming might have some background. However, he is more aware of the urine nature of the second generation of officials in China, whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation, or eating, drinking and having fun, he will never spend his own money. Even if you go abroad, play sports cars, live in luxury houses, and buy all kinds of pickled girls, there are people who pay for them. Liu Qingming came here and spent Zhou Yiru's money. It's like the deposit for tonight's auction, which is the money on Tiancheng Ventures' account. John Deutsch was in charge of the company's finances, and he personally paid the deposit, so he knew it all.

"Teacher, ...... you" Zhou Yiru couldn't help but get anxious when she saw John Deutsch say the same.

"Am I wrong, how can it cost someone money to give a gift?" said John Deutsch, shrugging his shoulders.

"Yiru likes me to spend her money, is there anything wrong with that?"

Liu Qingming said in a joking tone at John Deutsch.

After all, John Deutsch is Zhou Yiru's teacher, so Liu Qingming still respects him. He didn't want to be there too much to dwell on John Deutsch. His attention at this time was also mainly focused on Basil on the auction table.

Li Jiatu sneered, he had never seen shameless, but he had never seen this kind of hob meat, and he could say that eating soft rice and spending women's money was so reasonable, as if it was a matter of course.

There is always a thin line between a genius and a mentally ill, and this is not a joke. "Iris" was spent by Van Gogh in a mental hospital. In fact, many of Van Gogh's works were created in this psychiatric hospital, and what is even more nonsense is that many of the works are quite inexplicable, such as "Starry Night", at first glance, it is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that it is a graffiti of a mentally ill person. In fact, it is indeed the graffiti of the mentally ill.

"Iris" came out like a belated girl, and many people were able to come here tonight, not because they wanted to shoot anything, but more importantly, because they wanted to see the true face of this hand-me-down.

When "Iris" was taken out, the auction site also reached **, and many people's eyes were focused on this painting, which was less than a meter long and wide.

The starting price of "Iris" was $100 million, and in the 80s of the last century, the painting sold for a whopping $50 million. The starting price of $100 million is obviously not high. In the end, the painting sold for 180 million. Of course, the buyer is still the owner of the painting. This painting is just a gimmick, and everyone knows it in their hearts, just to go through the motions, and the price of this painting is possible by the way, but people may not really want to sell it.

"After making everyone wait for so long, the final mystery is about to be revealed......"

After a few more auctions, Basil's face on the auction table became solemn.

The eyes of everyone in the audience were also focused on the auction table. I saw the deceased bring up a box wrapped in red cloth, Basile opened the red cloth, inside was a large box of unknown materials, after opening the box, it was a transparent box. It's not glass, it's like crystal, and it's unknown what kind of crystal it is. At least not the crystals that are commonly found on the market.

Inside the crystal is a small bowl with a silver lining and a silver lid with moire, ruyi and eight treasure patterns on it. It looks quite delicate and cute.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what this wine vessel is? Now let me tell you about this wine vessel made of the skull of the Chinese emperor. He was a great emperor. His empire was once the most economically powerful country in the world, and its global economic status at that time was even greater than that of the United States today. Many people believe that his empire is a weak country, but his empire can hold off the most powerful cavalry of the old big 6. In my opinion, his empire is a military power. At the same time, he was a very great monarch. However, his fate is sad......" Basil said with a sigh.

When Liu Qingming saw this small bowl, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Which emperor's skull was made into a wine vessel?"

Zhou Yiru asked Liu Qingming in surprise, in her impression, she had never heard of such a thing.

"Zhao Yun," Liu Qingming said to Zhou Yiru.

"What the hell is going on? How did his skull end up to be made into a wine bowl?"

Zhou Yiru asked at Liu Qingming. It turned out that Xu Fang said that it was Zhibo's skull, and she had heard of it. However, at this time, it became the skull of the emperor again, and she was unheard of. Even, she is not familiar with the name mentioned by Liu Qingming.

"Yang Lian Zhenjia, the head of Jiangnan Buddhism, studied under the Tibetan monk Ba Sipa. He dug up the Southern Song Dynasty imperial tombs in Shaoxing and Qiantang, and Zhao Yun of Song Lizong was skinned and stripped of his body by him," Liu Qingming said.

Two years after the imperial tomb was excavated, the Southern Song Dynasty perished.

The Northern Song Dynasty was one of the most glorious eras of Chinese civilization. However, it only took ten years for the Han people who fled south to rebuild that strong civilization and reach the top of the world economically. At that time, Lin'an became a city that never sleeped as much as Bianliang back then. The prosperous era came to China again. An institution once gave a set of economic data in the eighties of the last century, and the per capita GDP of Chinese during the Southern Song Dynasty was equivalent to 26oo US dollars, even if inflation was excluded, this data was not broken until 2oo6.

In ancient times, the emperor and the ancestral tomb were the two most important beliefs of the Chinese. Even now, no matter whose ancestral grave is dug up, it is a sea of blood feud. The imperial tomb was excavated, the emperor was stripped of his skin and thrown away, and the skull was made into a wine vessel for others to play with. This is basically an unprecedented blow to the faith and spirit of the Chinese. After this incident, the faith of all the people in the entire empire collapsed, and the unprecedented civilization collapsed.

Since then, for thousands of years, Chinese civilization has never been able to reach this point again. The center of civilization in the old Big 6 and even the world has also shifted.
