Chapter 374: The Imperial Book Gourd Seal


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

That's right, if this silk copy is really authenticated as the authentic work of "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", it is definitely an earth-shattering thing.

There are few paintings in the world that are more precious than this one.

Xiao Lao just measured it with a ruler, this silk volume is much larger than the size of the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" in the Palace Museum, 348 centimeters in length and 7464 centimeters in width, no matter which data, it is much larger than the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" in the Palace Museum.

The size of the book is not to be mentioned, and the seal on this silk book alone is impossible to ignore.

There are very few seals on this silk book, only the collection seals of Zhao Ji and Zhao Lingsui of Song Huizong, but no one dares to underestimate this silk book.

If this painting was really hidden by Zhao Lingsui, then such a small number of seals on it just proves the true identity of this painting.

The "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" in the collection of the Palace Museum can be described as a disaster and many difficulties.

Although no one can figure out how the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" has been preserved, just looking at the seals on that painting is enough to prove how many people's hands that the painting has experienced.

Some people may say that there are so many connoisseurs on that fragment, many of whom are famous connoisseurs, can't those top connoisseurs identify the authenticity of this painting?

But what if the fragment of the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" in the collection of the Palace Museum was a high imitation from the beginning?

Who can tell what this thing is?

Elder Xiao let out a sigh of relief, 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."

This painting involves so many aspects that even a few of us can't be the master. ” 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?"

Once this painting is authentic, it will be a first-class national treasure."

Several old men were silent.

What kind of beating is in the hospital, they know best as the employees in it.

Once the institute learns which private person has collected a good thing, the institute usually sends experts to lobby for that good thing at a very low price, which is called a patriotic contribution This kind of thing was done a lot of them before, but now it's their apprentice's turn, and they are really a little out of line.

According to the relevant provisions, the ownership of the first, second and third class cultural relics of the state can be owned by the state, collectives or private individuals, and the ownership rights belong to the state and the cultural relics cannot be bought or sold, which is a criminal act.

However, the 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, they will be fine.

There is no doubt that Yang Jing's painting belongs to Yang Jing personally in terms of ownership.

The first person was not stolen, the second was not robbed, and the third was not obtained by robbing the tomb, and the person obtained it through legal acquisition, so even the state has no right to forcibly ask Yang Jing to hand over this volume of "Qingming Riverside Map" to the state.

But once this painting is identified as genuine, then 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?

One hundred million?

Or 200 million?

Liu Lao and the others are very clear that if the courtyard wants to collect this kind of precious cultural relics, it has always been a Zhou peel, and they can't wait to collect it without spending a penny.

But is this realistic?

This apprentice of mine is a local tyrant who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and he has two oil fields that continue to generate huge profits behind his back, and he is really not bad for money.

Once this painting is identified as Zhang Zeduan's authentic handiwork, one or two hundred million will definitely not be able to impress his disciple.

But Liu Lao and the others also understood that once this painting was really brought back to the courtyard, it would be impossible to come out again.

Xiao Lao also immediately realized that what he was thinking was too simple, and the old man blushed and said, "Xiao Jing, this matter is not considered by the master. ” "Second Master, it's okay, you don't have to blame yourself."

Liu Lao and Yang Jing have a master-apprentice relationship, but Huang Lao is not, he still wants to insist on taking this painting back to the courtyard to organize appraisal.

In this matter, Liu Lao and the four of them are of course towards their apprentices.

The four of them have been looking for decades to find such a good apprentice, and today they have just worshipped the master, and they have to support their own disciples as a master.

Seeing that his four masters were about to quarrel with Huang Lao, Yang Jing hurriedly said, "Isn't there still a painting scroll that hasn't been opened?"

Let's open this scroll first and see what's inside.

Maybe there is other information about the painting hidden in this scroll?

” As soon as Yang Jing said this, several old men realized that there was an important painting scroll that had not been opened, so they immediately died down, and Guo Lao personally worked on it again and opened the other painting scroll.

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

It was also wrapped in a faded silk, and after Guo Lao carefully uncovered this package, he revealed the contents inside.

It is a small seal and a scroll of silk.

Guo Lao first picked up the small seal, but after looking at it, he exclaimed in surprise: "God, this, isn't this the 'imperial book' gourd seal in the seven seals of Xuanhe?"

” Guo Lao shouted out in his voice, and several other old men were also shocked.

"Let's take a look, is it really Zhao Ji's Xuanhe Seven Seals in the Imperial Book Gourd Seal?"

Liu Lao asked anxiously.

Guo Lao showed the square seal in his hand, and several old men came up, even Yang Jing also came up.

The last time he used the "perspective" skill to look at this painting scroll, he didn't see much hidden in it, and he didn't look carefully at what it was, and he didn't expect that there was a collection seal of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong hidden in it.

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty collected the world's calligraphy and painting treasures, expanded the Hanlin Painting Institute, and collected the famous relics of the past dynasties in the inner mansion, reaching an unprecedented abundance, and Zhao Wenchen compiled the "Xuanhe Book Spectrum", "Xuanhe Painting Spectrum" and "Xuanhe Bogu Tu".

Xuanhe Inner Mansion not only gathers the treasures of the world, Song Qiaonian, Mi Fu, Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Cai Bian, etc. devote themselves to the protection and sorting of the calligraphy and painting in the Inner Palace, re-framed and compiled into volumes, Song Huizong personally inscribed the label, graded into the collection.

These famous relics of the past dynasties Zhao Ji inevitably have to be personally appraised, with Zhao Ji and Qianlong's similar beating nature, it is indispensable to stamp the seal on those famous monuments of the past dynasties.

Later generations summed up the Tibetan seals owned by Zhao Ji according to some hand-me-down calligraphy and paintings, the most famous of which is the "Xuanhe Seven Seals", also known as the "Xuanhe Seven Seals".

"Yushu" gourd-shaped seal, "Shuanglong" round seal, "Xuanhe" bead seal, "Zhenghe" rectangular seal, "Xuanhe" rectangular seal, "Zhengyi" bead seal, "Inner House Book Seal" Nine Stacks of Text Seal, this is the so-called "Xuanhe Seven Seals".

It is rumored that the small seal of the double dragon under the inscription of the "Qingming Riverside Map" is the second seal of the seven seals of Xuanhe.

Of course, this double dragon small seal is round, and there is also a square one, which is called the "double dragon square seal".

And this "imperial book gourd seal" is the first seal in the seven seals of Xuanhe, and it is said to be the favorite private collection seal of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong.

Just now, I have clearly seen the double dragon round seal from the suspected authentic "Qingming Riverside Map", but I didn't expect to see another seal in the seven seals of Xuanhe in another painting scroll.

Guo Lao brought the ink, took this seal and dipped it in the ink, and then pressed it vigorously from a piece of white paper.

After taking it away, a clear gourd-shaped engraving of the word "Imperial Book" carved with a small seal appeared on the white paper.

Several old men took the blank paper one by one and looked at it, and finally nodded all the time, and Liu Lao said directly: "This seal can't be faked, it is indeed the 'imperial book' gourd seal of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong." ” Xiao Lao also said: "There is an imprint of this square seal in the Moss North Palace Museum, and I have also seen the imprint of this square seal from some other calligraphy and paintings that have been handed down.

Yes, this seal is real!

” Huang Lao shook his head and said with an incredulous expression: "Unexpected, really unexpected!"

Zhao Ji's private collection can be preserved, if this is said, it will inevitably cause a sensation.

I thought that all of Zhao Ji's private collections disappeared in the Jingkang Rebellion, but I didn't expect that one side could still be saved, it's really amazing!

” Cai Yi said: "Now the painting has strong proof.

With Zhao Ji's seal, it is more powerful than any evidence.

Obviously, in terms of the relationship between Zhao Lingsui and Zhao Ji, it must have been Zhao Ji who encountered something that could not be avoided, which made Zhao Lingsui hide this "Qingming Riverside Map" plus his "Imperial Book" gourd seal.

The history books are full of legends, and Zhao Ji's favorite painting is this "Qingming Riverside Picture". ” Yang Jing took the opportunity to interject and asked, "Fourth Master, Zhao Ji is a dignified Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, what else can make him feel that it is a disaster that cannot be avoided?"

” Several old men glanced at each other, and said almost in unison: "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 emperor himself.

He reigned for twenty-six years, and also witnessed the whole process of the Northern Song Dynasty from victory to decline, and was finally taken captive by the Jin people.

But it is undeniable that when Zhao Ji first ascended the throne, the strength of the Northern Song Dynasty was still very good, and Zhao Ji, as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, sat on the world, so naturally there was nothing to make him feel afraid.

But the final Jingkang Rebellion was one thing he had to be afraid of.

As several old men said, the things that can make Zhao Ji, the emperor, feel afraid, there is nothing else except the Jingkang Rebellion. ps: Bow and thank "a little monkey" for the tip of 500.
