Happy Tycoon

None of the five old men thought that Yang Jing would come up with such an earth-shattering thing.

That's right, if this volume of silk is finally identified as the authentic work of Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival, it will definitely be an earth-shattering thing. There are few paintings more precious than this one in the whole world.

Mr. Xiao measured it with a ruler just now. This roll of silk is much larger than the Along the River During the Qingming Festival collected in the Palace Museum. The painting Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival is much bigger.

Not to mention the issue of size, the seal on the scroll of silk alone is impossible to ignore. There are very few seals on this scroll, only the appraiser seals of Song Huizong Zhao Ji and Zhao Lingrang, but no one dares to underestimate this scroll.

If this painting was really hidden by Zhao Lingrang, then the few seals on it just proved the true identity of this painting.

The painting Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival collected in the Palace Museum can be described as full of disasters. Although no one knows exactly how the Along the River During the Qingming Festival was preserved, just looking at the seals on the painting is enough to prove how many hands the painting has experienced.

Some people may say that there are so many famous connoisseurs’ seals on that scroll, many of them are famous connoisseurs, can’t those top connoisseurs be able to identify the authenticity of this painting?

But what if the remnant volume of Along the River During the Qingming Festival collected by the Palace Museum was a high-quality imitation from the beginning?

Who can tell about this stuff?

Elder Xiao let out a long breath, and said to Yang Jing very seriously: Xiao Jing, the five of us will take this painting back to the Palace Museum, and then organize experts to appraise this painting together. The aspects involved in this painting It’s too wide, even the few of us can’t make the decision.”

Yang Jing hesitated for a moment and asked: Second Master, it's not that I don't believe you, you just said that this painting involves too many aspects, what if this painting is left in the courtyard? If the painting is identified as authentic, it is a first-class national treasure.

The old men were silent.

As the employees in the courtyard, they know best what kind of beatings they are in. Once the courtyard learns that a private person has collected a good thing, the courtyard will usually send experts to lobby for that good thing at a very low price, which is called Weiguo Contribution.

They used to do this kind of thing a lot, but now it's their apprentice's turn, they are really out of control.

According to relevant regulations, the ownership of national first-class, second-class and third-class cultural relics can belong to the state, collective or private ownership, and the ownership belongs to the state and cultural relics cannot be bought and sold, which is a crime. However, first-class cultural relics whose ownership belongs to private individuals can be circulated in China, as long as they are not taken out of the country, it will be fine.

In terms of ownership, this painting of Yang Jing belongs to Yang Jing himself, which is beyond doubt. Firstly, they did not steal it, secondly, they did not snatch it, and thirdly, they did not obtain it from tomb robbery. to the state.

But once this painting is identified as authentic, the impact will be too great, and the courtyard will definitely find a way to collect this painting.

But how much money can the courtyard pay for this painting? 100 million? Or 200 million?

Mr. Liu and the others are very clear that if the courtyard wants to collect such precious cultural relics, Zhou has always been the one who picks them up, and they wish they could collect them without spending a penny. But is this realistic? My apprentice is a serious local tyrant, with a net worth of several hundred million dollars, and two oil fields that are constantly generating huge profits behind him, so he is really not short of money. Once this painting is identified as Zhang Zeduan's authentic work, one or two hundred million yuan will definitely not be able to impress his disciple.

But Mr. Liu and the others also understood that once the painting was brought back to the courtyard, it would be impossible to get it out again.

Elder Xiao also immediately realized that his thinking was too simple, and he blushed a little and said, Xiao Jing, this matter is due to Master's inconsideration.

Second Master, it's okay, you don't have to blame yourself.

Mr. Liu and Yang Jing are in a master-student relationship, but Mr. Huang is not. He still wants to insist on bringing the painting back to the courtyard for appraisal.

In this matter, Mr. Liu and the four of them naturally turned to their apprentices. The four of them had searched for decades to find such a good apprentice. Today, they just worshiped as a teacher. As a master, he has to support his disciple no matter what.

Seeing that his four masters were about to quarrel with Mr. Huang, Yang Jing quickly said: Isn't there another scroll that hasn't been opened yet? Shall we open this scroll first and see what's inside. Maybe this scroll Is there any other information about the painting hidden in it?

After Yang Jing said this, the old men realized that there was still an important scroll that hadn't been opened, so they immediately stopped, and Mr. Guo once again opened another scroll by himself.

After this scroll was opened, there was indeed something hidden inside, but compared to the things hidden in the first scroll, there were much fewer things in this scroll.

It was also wrapped in a piece of faded silk, and Mr. Guo carefully opened the wrapping, revealing the contents inside.

It is a small seal and a roll of silk.

Mr. Guo first picked up the small square seal, and after just looking at it, he exclaimed in shock: God, this, isn't this the 'Yu Shu' gourd seal in Xuanhe Seven Seals?

When Mr. Guo yelled out, the other old men were also shocked.

Let everyone take a look, is it really the gourd seal of Zhao Ji's Xuanhe seven seals? Elder Liu asked anxiously.

Mr. Guo showed the square seal in his hand, and several old men joined together, even Yang Jing joined together.

The last time he used the perspective skill to look at this painting scroll, he only saw that there were not many things hidden in it, and he didn't take a closer look at what it was.

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty widely collected rare calligraphy and paintings from all over the world, expanded the Hanlin Painting Academy, and collected famous works of past dynasties in the inner palace, which reached an unprecedented abundance. Bogutu. Xuanhe Inner Palace not only gathers the treasures of the world, Song Qiaonian, Mi Fu, Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Cai Bian and others devote themselves to the protection and arrangement of calligraphy and painting collected in the Inner Palace, remounting and compiling them into volumes, and Song Huizong personally inscribes the labels and classifies them into the collection .

It is inevitable that Zhao Ji had to appraise and collect these famous relics of the past dynasties. With Zhao Ji and Qianlong's similar aggressiveness, it is essential to affix the seal of appraising and collecting on those famous relics of the past dynasties.

According to the seals on some calligraphy and paintings handed down from generation to generation, later generations summarized Zhao Ji's Jianzang seals. Among them, the most famous one is the Seven Seals of Xuanhe, also known as Seven Seals of Xuanhe.

Imperial Book gourd-shaped seal, Shuanglong round seal, Xuanhe lianzhu seal, Zhenghe rectangular seal, Xuanhe rectangular seal, Zhenghe lianzhu seal, Neifu Book Seal nine This is the so-called Seven Seals of Xuanhe.

It is widely rumored that the small seal of Shuanglong under the inscription and postscript of A Picture of Shanghe During the Qingming Festival is the second of the seven seals of Xuanhe. Of course, this Ssangyong small seal is round, and the other one is square, which is called Shuanglong square seal.

And this Yushu Gourd Seal is the first seal among the seven seals of Xuanhe. It is said that it is the favorite private seal of Song Huizong Zhao Ji.

Just now, from the suspected authentic painting Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival, I have clearly seen the circular seal of the two dragons, but I didn't expect to see another seal among the seven seals of Xuanhe in another scroll.

Mr. Guo brought the ink pad, took this square of ink and dipped it in the ink pad, and then pressed down hard from a piece of white paper. After taking it away, a clear gourd-shaped engraving of the word Yushu carved in small seal script appeared on the white paper.

Several old men looked at the white paper side by side, and finally nodded all the time, and Mr. Liu said directly: This seal cannot be faked, it is indeed the gourd seal of Song Huizong Zhao Ji's 'Royal Book'.

Xiao Lao also said: There is an imprint of this square seal hidden in the Taibei Palace Museum, and I have also seen the imprint of this square seal from some calligraphy and paintings handed down from ancient times. Yes, this square seal is real!

Huang Lao shook his head and said with an unbelievable expression: Unexpected, really unexpected! Zhao Ji's private collection can be preserved. If it is said, it will inevitably cause a sensation. I thought that Zhao Ji's private collection Because they all disappeared during the Jingkang Rebellion, I didn't expect that one of them could survive, it's amazing!

Cai Yi said: Now that painting has strong evidence. With Zhao Ji's seal on it, it is more powerful than any other evidence. Obviously, in terms of the relationship between Zhao Lingrang and Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji must have met Some unavoidable disasters made Zhao Ling Rang hide this A Picture of Rising the River during the Qingming Festival together with his Royal Book gourd seal. It is widely rumored in history books that Zhao Ji's favorite painting is this Qingming Riverside Picture is now.

Yang Jing took the opportunity to interject and asked: Fourth Master, Zhao Ji is the majestic Emperor of the Song Dynasty, what else can make him feel that there is a disaster that cannot be avoided?

Several old men looked at each other and said almost in unison: The Jingkang Rebellion!

Zhao Ji ascended the throne in 1100, abdicated in 1125, gave up the throne to his eldest son Zhao Huan, and became the Supreme Emperor himself. During his twenty-six years in office, he also witnessed the entire process of the Northern Song Dynasty from victory to decline, and was finally taken away by the Jin people.

But it is undeniable that when Zhao Ji first came to the throne, the strength of the Northern Song Dynasty was still very good. As the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji had nothing to fear. But the last Jingkang Rebellion was something he had to fear.

As several old men said, there is nothing else that can scare Zhao Ji, the Supreme Emperor, except the Jingkang Rebellion.
