Chapter 747: Zhu Chongba's Divine Decree


I made a phone call to Gege, and learned that the girl was having fun, so I hung up the phone after a few words, and then immersed my mind in the storage space.The seven large iron boxes were neatly placed in the space, which made Yang Jing feel inexplicably happy in his heart.Since I came to the Philippines more than 20 days ago, I have visited eight places, and I have found nothing at all except for less than two tons of gold and two boxes of precious stones in the second and fourth places.The seven big iron boxes in front of me can be said to be the first big harvest of this trip to the Philippines, but I don't know what good things are inside.If there are no good things, Yang Jing will be very unhappy.This trip to the Philippines not only did not have any big gains before, but also encountered earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and super typhoons, and almost lost my life here.If there is nothing good to gain this time, Yang Jing thinks that it is really God who is sorry for being so diligent and rubbing his hands, Yang Jing opened the first box with his consciousness, and it turned out that it was not imaginary gold or other precious metals, but a layer of heavy oilcloth wrapped in something, and this layer of oilcloth also made Yang Jing happy immediately.Obviously, this heavy layer of oilcloth must be wrapped in good things, otherwise the little devil would not have been so careful back then.Not bad, the tarpaulin is well preserved in the iron box, at least no damage has been found.Gently uncovered this layer of oilcloth, and the contents of the oilcloth immediately made Yang Jing's eyes straight.In the box, there are more than a dozen gilded Buddha statues with exquisite workmanship, about 40 centimeters high, and different shapes, or simply these Buddha statues are pure gold Buddha statues.Yang Jing used his consciousness to take out the space of these dozen Buddha statues, and sure enough, this heavy feeling can prove that these ten or so Buddha statues are not gilded, but made of real pure gold.These Buddha statues have Buddha statues, Bodhisattva statues, and more Guanyin statues, with different shapes.However, the shape of these Buddha statues Yang Jing seems to be somewhat different from the Buddha statues in Chinese history, so he did not hesitate to use his identification skills, and the answer given by the result really confirmed Yang Jing's guess.These statues are all pure gold bronze statues from the Angkor Dynasty and were made from 1190 to 1432 AD.Judging from the production age of these Buddha statues, it also proves that that era was the beginning and heyday of Buddhism in the Angkor Dynasty.You know, in the early days of the Angkor Dynasty, most of the people of Angkor worshipped Lord Shiva, but during the reign of Suryavarman II, that is, in the early 12th century, this great king converted to Vishnu and replaced the original statue of Shiva in the temple with a statue of Vishnu during his reign of the Angkor Dynasty.However, thirty years after the death of Suryavarman II, another greater king of the Angkor dynasty, Jayavarman VII, succeeded to the throne.During his reign, the greatest king of the Angkor dynasty propelled the Angkor dynasty to its heyday, becoming Cambodia's most prestigious ancient monarch.However, the king embraced Buddhism and regarded Avalokiteshvara as the protector of the Khmer people, believing that he could guide people to the Pure Land of Bliss, and built statues of Guanyin all over the country.Most of these statues are half-opened, their eyes are lowered, and their mouths have a calm and mysterious smile, which is known as the "Khmer smile".Buddhist temples such as Prasaprankdi, Tarong, Phakan and Pa Rong were built during this period, showing the unique colors of Angkor Buddhism.Obviously, these Buddha statues were looted from that country when the little devils occupied the Khmer.And these Buddha statues that can be treasured by the little devils are naturally the best among them.And these pure gold Guanyin statues are indeed treasures, and any one can be called a Khmer national treasure.Even in China, the value of these pure gold Buddha statues and Guanyin statues is very high.And so many national treasure-level Buddha statues and Guanyin statues are enough to hold up an exhibition hall!

After admiring these precious pure gold Buddha statues one by one, Yang Jing withdrew them into the space again and began to pay attention to the lower layer of this box.Most of these pure gold Buddha statues and Guanyin statues are less than half a meter high, so they are placed in two layers in this one-meter square box, and there is a partition in the middle of the box.After pulling out the partition, sure enough, there were still more than a dozen Buddha statues and Guanyin statues under the partition, and there were some other Buddha statues with strange shapes.Yang Jing identified that those strangely shaped Buddha statues were the pure gold bodies of Lord Shiva and Vishnu.This big iron box is full of pure gold Buddha statues of different shapes, and the lightest weight of a Buddha statue is about 40 kilograms, and these 20 or so Buddha statues weigh nearly a ton!

Even if they are all pure gold Buddha statues of the Angkor Dynasty, but these Buddha statues have a history of at least 700 years, and the early ones have a history of more than 900 years, not to mention that the shape is so exquisite, so the value of this box of pure gold Buddha statues far exceeds the same weight of gold, and the real value is difficult to estimate!

Great stuff!

What a good thing!

Yang Jing is very satisfied with this good start, just this box of Buddha statues, it is not in vain that he has run so many places in the Philippines.After placing these pure gold Buddha statues in the space one by one, Yang Jing opened the second iron box with anticipation.After opening, the second iron box is still a layer of heavy tarpaulin, after uncovering the tarpaulin, there is a layer of silk inside, but because of the relationship between the outside iron box and the tarpaulin protection, this layer of silk is well protected, and the most important thing is that the color of this layer of silk is bright yellow!

This discovery made Yang Jing look forward to it even more, and then carefully uncovered this layer of silk, and the first thing that caught his eye made Yang Jing's heart shock.This turned out to be a holy decree, and it was also the holy decree of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

The beginning of the holy decree is "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says" eight big characters, followed by dense content, and finally the emperor's seal and inscription.After Yang Jing read it, he figured out what this holy decree meant.It turned out that in the 25th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1392 AD, six years before Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the Angkor Dynasty sent envoys to meet the Daimyo Hongwu Emperor, and offered a lot of rare treasures, Hongwu the Great was very happy, and rewarded the envoys of the Angkor Dynasty with a lot of things.In ancient China, especially in the heyday of the heyday of the Ming Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, many subject countries would come to pay tribute to Huaxia, and many countries around China were subject countries of the Chinese Dynasty.It is said that the Ming Dynasty was the most upright dynasty since Qin Shi Huang unified China, and there is no doubt about this.Counting the 20 dynasties in Chinese history, excluding the three dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou in ancient times, whether it is the Qin Dynasty that ruled the world, or the Han Dynasty that "those who dare to offend my Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away", or the Tang Dynasty that laid the prestige of "Heavenly Khan", and the Song Dynasty that was rich in the world, in fact, its means of winning the dynasty are not authentic.Although Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, it could only be regarded as infighting; The same was true of Liu Bang's Han Dynasty; As for Li Tang, it's pretty much the same; And Zhao Kuangyin simply came to a "yellow robe", let alone the means of the court.Since the first dynasty of Qin Shi Huang in China, only the Ming Dynasty has really won the world by means of "driving out the Tartars and restoring our Han Dynasty".Don't look at Zhu Yuanzhang's background, he looks even more distinctive than Guo Degang, but I have to say that this Hongwu Emperor is indeed a great emperor!

At that time, the Hongwu Emperor drove the Yuan Dynasty Tartars, who had plagued the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years, out of the land of China, and single-handedly established the Ming Dynasty, so that the prestige of the Han people could not be restored, so many small countries around the Ming Dynasty were very consciously called vassals, among them, the Angkor Dynasty was naturally no exception.The Angkor Dynasty, which was thousands of miles away, came to pay tribute, and the Hongwu Emperor, as a generation of emperors, naturally would not be stingy with rewards, so a holy decree rewarded the envoys of the Angkor Dynasty with a lot of treasures, and this holy decree must have been regarded as a holy treasure by the king of the Angkor Dynasty at that time, and it was preserved.But it's a pity that it was served by the little devils.The value of this decree is difficult to estimate, so far, the world has only found a total of two Ming Dynasty decrees, one was issued by Ming Yingzong in the twelfth year of orthodoxy (1447) to Guo Shixian, the father of Guo Pu, then the head of the Yunnan Qing Officials Division of Nanjing, 568 years ago.This decree is also the only Ming Dynasty decree found in China.As for the other one, it was found from a Chinese collector in the United States, who had a holy decree from the handwritten hand of Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, and its value is difficult to estimate.But whether it is Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen or Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, they are all Zhu Yuanzhang's gray grandchildren, these gray grandsons are even the holy decrees issued by the gray grandsons of the gray grandsons, how can they be compared with the holy decrees issued by Zhu Yuanzhang, the real ancestor?

And whether it is the holy decree issued by Ming Yingzong or the holy decree issued by Emperor Zhengde, they are all "edicts", and the holy decree issued by Zhu Yuanzhang is the "edict" of the Eight Classics, and the first two are far inferior to the latter in terms of system!

Since Qin Shi Huang dominated the world and joined the six countries, he was no longer satisfied with the title of king, so he named himself the emperor, called himself "I", ordered the system, and ordered the edict, so the "edict" was the earliest used by Qin Shi Huang.The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and gradually established a complete emperor system.The two characters "edict" were first used in the imperial documents of the Han Dynasty.Since then, it has been used by successive emperors.However, the words "Fengtian carrier" have never appeared in history before the Ming Dynasty.The earliest inventor of the name "Fengtian" is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, the holy decree of the Ming Dynasty will have the words "Fengtian carrying the emperor", whether it is "edict" or "system" or "edict", all represent the different systems of the holy decree.Depending on the specific content, the holy decree adopts different wordings, and there are mainly three types of "edicts, systems, and edicts"."

Edict" is an edict to the world, and all major political affairs must be announced to the subjects of the world, using "Fengtian to carry the emperor, edict said"."

System said" is used by the emperor to express the emperor's grace and declare the hundred officials, and all the holy decrees express the emperor's grace when they start with "Fengtian carries the emperor and makes the system say"."

The system is only for the purpose of announcing the officials, and is not issued to the ordinary people."

Edict" has the meaning of admonishment.When the emperor added officials to knighthood, he warned officials to guard against arrogance and rashness, make persistent efforts, and not be arrogant and complacent, pampered and arrogant.In other words, the "edict" is the real holy decree that decrees the world; "Making" is a little worse, just a report in the officialdom; And the "edict" is even worse, it is only issued against a certain official.And this holy decree is used as "edict".Although the Angkor Dynasty is only a subject country, but the subject country to call the ministers to pay tribute, this is a major event of the country, the emperor must edict the world, so that the people of the whole world know the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, so it is not surprising that the Hongwu Emperor issued this kind of "edict" holy decree!

If Zhu Chongba's holy decree is taken out, its value is also incalculable!
