Chapter 374: Yushu Gourd Seal

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

   That's right, if this scroll is really identified as authentic in the end, it is definitely a earth-shattering thing. The world cannot find a few more precious paintings than this one.

Xiao Lao just measured it with a ruler. This volume of silk is much larger than the one in the Palace Museum. It measures 34.8 cm in length and 746.4 cm in width. No matter which data it is, it is much larger than the one in the Palace Museum. few.

   The question of size will not be mentioned, the appreciating seal on this volume of silk alone cannot be ignored. There are very few seals on this scroll, only the appraising seals of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong and Zhao Lingrong, but no one dares to look down upon this scroll.

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

   The one treasured in the Palace Museum can be described as plagued by disasters. Although no one can figure out how the painting was preserved, just looking at the seals on the painting is enough to prove how many hands the painting has been through.

   Someone might say that there are so many celebrity appraisal seals on that fragment, and many of them are famous connoisseurs. Isn’t it true that the top connoisseurs can’t tell the authenticity of this painting?

   But what if the fragment of the volume in the Palace Museum's collection is a high imitation from the beginning?

   Who can say this thing clearly?

Elder Xiao let out a sigh of relief and said to Yang Jing very seriously: "Xiao Jing, the five of us are going to bring this painting back to the Palace Museum, and then we will organize experts to appraise this painting. What is involved in this painting? It's too broad, even a few of us can't be the master."

Yang Jing hesitated 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.

   What kind of horrible things are in the courtyard? They, as the employees in it, know it best. Once the courtyard knows which private collection of a good thing, the courtyard usually sends experts to lobby, and strive to win the good thing at a very low price. It is called the contribution of the country...

   A few of them did this kind of thing before, but now it's their turn to be their apprentices, and they are really a bit lost.

  According to relevant regulations, the ownership of cultural relics at the first, second, and third levels of the country can be owned by the state, collective or private. If the ownership belongs to the state, and cultural relics cannot be bought or sold, that is an illegal act. However, first-class cultural relics whose ownership belongs to private individuals can be circulated in China, as long as they are not taken abroad.

   There is no doubt that Yang Jing’s painting belongs to Yang Jing in terms of ownership. One was not stolen, second was not stolen, and third was not obtained by robbery. They were obtained through legal purchase, so even the state has no right to force Yang Jing to hand over the volume 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 accept this painting.

   How much can the courtyard pay for this painting? 100 million? Or two hundred million?

   Mr. Liu and the others know very well that if the courtyard wants to collect such precious cultural relics, it has always belonged to Zhou Peking. Can this be realistic? My apprentice is a serious local tyrant, with a net worth of several hundred million U.S. dollars, and behind his back there are two oil fields that continuously generate huge profits. Once this painting was identified as the authentic work of Zhang Zeduan, one or two hundred million would definitely not be able to impress his disciple.

   But Lao Liu and the others also understand that once this painting is really brought back to the courtyard, it is simply impossible to get it out again.

   Elder Xiao also immediately realized that he was thinking too simple, and the old blushed and said, "Xiao Jing, Master has not considered this matter well."

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

   Lao Liu and Yang Jing have a mentor-apprentice relationship, but Lao Huang is not. He still wants to insist on bringing this painting back to the hospital for appraisal.

   In this matter, Lao Liu and the four of them, of course, turned to their apprentices. The four of them had been searching for decades before they found such a good apprentice. They had just worshipped a teacher today, and those who were masters had to support their own disciples.

Seeing that his four masters were about to quarrel with Huang Lao, Yang Jing quickly said, "Isn't there another scroll that hasn't been opened? Let's open this scroll first and see what's inside. Maybe this scroll scroll Is there any other information about this painting hidden inside?"

   When Yang Jing said that, the old men realized that there was still an important scroll that hadn't been opened, so they immediately died down, and Mr. Guo once again performed the sword himself and opened the other scroll.

   After the scroll was opened, there really was something hidden inside, but compared to the first scroll, there was much less in this scroll.

   was also wrapped in a piece of faded silk. After Guo Lao carefully uncovered this layer of wrapping, the contents were exposed.

   is a small seal and a roll of silk.

   Mr. Guo first picked up the Fang Xiaoyin, only after taking a look, he exclaimed: "God, this, is this the ‘yushu’ gourd seal in the Xuanhe Seven Seals?"

  Guo yelled out with this voice, and the other old men were also shocked.

   "Let everyone see, is it really Zhao Ji's Xuan and the imperial gourd seal in the Seven Seals?" Liu Lao asked anxiously.

   Old Guo revealed the square seal in his hand, and several old men leaned forward, and even Yang Jing also leaned forward.

   The last time he used the "perspective" skill to look at this scroll, he saw that there were not many things hidden inside, and he didn't expect to see the seal of Zhao Ji from Song Huizong.

   Song Huizong collected the world's paintings and calligraphy treasures, expanded the Hanlin Painting Academy, and Neifuxang's famous relics in the past dynasties, and achieved unprecedented abundance, and was compiled and contracted by the ministers. Xuanhe Inner Mansion not only gathers treasures from all over the world, Song Qiaonian, Mi Fu, Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Cai Bian, etc. devoted themselves to the protection and arrangement of the paintings and calligraphy in the Inner Mansion, re-mounting them into volumes, Song Huizong personally inscribed the labels, and classified them into the collection. .

   It is inevitable that Zhao Ji has to personally appraise these famous relics of past dynasties. It is indispensable to affix the seal of appraisal to those famous relics of past dynasties with Zhao Ji's and Qianlong's similar beating.

   Later generations summarized Zhao Ji's appreciating seal based on the seals on some handed down calligraphy and paintings. The most famous one is the "Xuanhe Seven Seals", also known as the "Xuanhe Seven Seals".

"Yushu" gourd-shaped seal, "Double Dragon" circular seal, "Xuanhe" continuous pearl seal, "Zhenghe" rectangular seal, "Xuanhe" rectangular seal, "Zhenghe" continuous pearl seal, "Internal Government Book Seal" Nine Duplicate texts and generous seals, this is the so-called "Xuanhe Seven Seals".

   The Ssangyong Xiaoyin at the bottom of the Sheng Chuan's epilogue is the second seal of the Xuanhe Seven Seals. Of course, this Ssangyong small seal is round, and the other is square, called the "Ssangyong square seal."

   And this "Yushu Gourd Seal" is the number one seal among the Xuanhe Seven Seals. It is said that it is the favorite private appraisal seal of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong.

   I have clearly seen the square Shuanglong round seal from the suspected authentic piece just now, but I did not expect to see another seal from the Xuanhe Seven Seals on another scroll.

   Guo Lao took the ink pad, took the square and dipped it on the ink pad, and then pressed it down **** a piece of white paper. After removing it, a clear gourd-shaped engraved with the word "Royal Book" carved with a small seal appeared on the white paper.

Several elders held this white paper and looked at it one after another, and finally nodded. Old Liu said directly: "This seal can't be faked, it is indeed the'yushu' gourd seal of Song Huizong Zhao Ji. "

   Xiao Lao also said: "There is a mark of this square seal hidden in the Taibei Palace Museum, and I have also seen the mark of this square seal from some other handwritten calligraphy and paintings. Yes, this square seal is real!"

Huang Lao shook his head and said with an unbelievable expression: "I can't think of ~www.readwn.com~! The reason for Zhao Ji's private possession can be preserved. If this is said, it is inevitable that it will cause a sensation. I still I thought that all of Zhao Ji’s private possessions disappeared during the Jingkang Rebellion, but I didn’t expect to be able to save a party. It’s amazing!"

Cai Yi said: "Now that painting has strong evidence. With Zhao Ji's printing, it is more powerful than any evidence. Obviously, in terms of the relationship between Zhao Lingrong and Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji must have encountered it. What was the disaster that couldn't be avoided, this led Zhao Lingrong to hide this picture plus his'Yushu' gourd seal. It is all rumored in history books, and this is one of Zhao Ji's favorite paintings."

   Yang Jing took the opportunity to intervene and asked: "Four Master, Zhao Ji is a dignified Emperor of Song Dynasty, what else can he think is a disaster that he cannot escape?"

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

   Zhao Ji ascended the throne in 1100, abdicated in 1125, and gave up the throne to the eldest son Zhao Huan, and became the emperor himself. He reigned for twenty-six years, and also witnessed the entire process from victory to decline in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was eventually taken away by the Jinren.

   But it is undeniable that when Zhao Ji first ascended the throne, the strength of the Northern Song Dynasty was still very good. As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji was sitting on the world, naturally there was nothing to scare him. But the last Jingkang chaos was one thing he had to fear.

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