Chapter 712 Have you seen Lanting Preface?
As expected by Zhao Huan, Zhao Ying's investigation was gone when he reached the Ministry of Revenue.
The reason was that the Ministry of Revenue bought the repair of the palace to the people.
However, the people who built palace walls gathered together when they were alive, and when they were not alive, they made their own living. Naturally, they were a bad debt and could not be found out at all.
Cheng Chu is a person who likes to dig in the bottom line. After careful investigation, he did not find anything. Few people knew the craftsman who painted the paint, and the person he introduced also said he met by chance outside the city.
There is no way to investigate this matter.
"I am incompetent." Cheng Chu said with apologizing. He did not do any of the things the official gave him. The fight between these people living in heaven was too terrible.
Zhao Huan smiled and shook his head and said, "You are not blamed for this."
"Kong Duanyou was doing a very careful job in Bianjing's tabloids. In the end, you found out that it was found out? As long as this person still needs to move, he will definitely make arrangements, and if there are actions, there will be flaws."
"When hunting, hunters and prey compete with each other is patience."
"Don't be impatient."
Cheng Chu tasted it carefully, and it was true. Last time Kong Duanyou was also a god-like start. Cheng Chu didn't know where to start the tabloid. In the end, he found the tail and caught it all out?
He thought for a while and said, "The official family is indeed the official family. It is clear that things are seen. That's right, I will pay attention to it."
"You go to handle Zhao Mingcheng's case first, remember to act smaller." Zhao Huan asked Cheng Chu to go down to investigate Zhao Mingcheng. Since the haunted matter has not made any progress, we will start investigating the Jinshi Society led by Zhao Mingcheng.
Zhao Mingcheng liked epigraphy very much, which was the archaeology of the Song Dynasty.
Last time, Zhao Mingcheng, who made a lot of money by taking advantage of Zhao Huan's construction of Yanjing, founded a Jinshi Academy in order to satisfy his interests and hobbies.
Society is a unique social culture of the Song Dynasty. It is a bit like the learning clubs, news clubs, dance clubs, basketball clubs and other interest clubs on campuses in later universities.
For example, most of the archers of Yue Fei's Hejian Army came from the archery club.
Gathering the social culture of the charity culture because of interests and hobbies was a very interesting social phenomenon in the Song Dynasty, and this social phenomenon first originated from Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin was in Chenqiao Post and was wearing a yellow robe by his brothers from the charity club.
Then he released the military power with a glass of wine. Zhao Kuangyin's military power was also the brothers of these charity clubs. He was also the nobles who mobilized eight gates to Beijing after Zhao Huan personally left Bianjing last time.
Yue Fei's current central military commander, confidential secretary, Wang Gui, is Yue Fei's elder brother of the charity club.
This kind of social culture is a symbol of social vitality and the source of social instability.
Zhao Mingcheng's Jinshi Academy is very large.
Zhao Ying put a note on the imperial case and said in confusion: "Officials, Zhao Mingcheng made a small fortune because of the note criticized by Taizai Li, but I think this small fortune cannot support such a large stall of the Jinshi Academy. I specially sent someone to check it. There are more than 1,300 members of the Jinshi Academy called Yatang. The rich antiques, calligraphy and paintings are comparable to Guanlan Pavilion."
Where is Guanlan Pavilion?
During the process of Yue Fei's suppression of bandits and Li Gang's business reform, he dug up thousands of borers from Hedong, Hebei and countless auction houses were dug up.
That was the wealth of the Song Dynasty for more than 160 years.
Zhao Huan opened the letter and found that although the number of antique calligraphy and paintings in this Jinshi Academy is far inferior to that of Guanlan Pavilion, its quality is surprisingly high. Every month, a batch of top-quality calligraphy and paintings that come from unknown sources are bought in this Jinshi Academy.
Zhao Huan even saw the original work of Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection"!
"It's true or false. Wasn't Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection" taken to Zhaoling by Emperor Taizong of Tang?" Zhao Huan asked in a horror at this list of praising the list.
Could these guys have dug up all the tombs of Emperor Taizong of Tang?
Zhao Ying glanced at him and said, "The official said this "Lanting Xiuhua".
"When Emperor Wen of Tang Li Shimin fought against Wang Shichong in Luoyang City, he defeated him step by step. Then Dou Jiande came to support him. Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass. Seeing that Wang Shichong had no chance of winning, he chose to offer "Preface to the Lanting Collection" as a money to buy life and chose to surrender."
"Then Li Yuan spared Wang Shichong's life. Then Li Shimin became the emperor and liked the "Preface to the Lanting Collection", so he ordered Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, Feng Chengsu and other scholars from Hongwenguan to copy several copies and give them to ministers."
"After Emperor Wen of Tang, the original works of "Preface to the Lanting Collection" were gone without a trace. Later, the original works of "Lanting Xiushu" were used as the original works. Because it was a seal by Li Xian, the Zhongzong of the Dragon Year, stamped it on it, so this is also called "Dragon-based Xiushu".
Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ying with surprise. He was not usually visible and leaking, but now he actually knows the prefaces of the Lanting Collection and the Xiushu.
Moreover, the posthumous title of Emperor Wen by Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin is also too much!
Zhao Huan frowned slightly, and stamped the famous pictures, calligraphy and paintings. Is it the emperor's common hobby? Zhongzong also likes to post his own seal, and the more famous he is, the more he likes to post it.
"I didn't see it, you know a lot." Zhao Huan nodded and said to Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying replied with a smile: "I know what is valuable. This thing is always valuable. I just don't know the origin. I am still investigating it."
"According to rumors, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and the family has to be sold. However, according to my guess, it is probably something that the people who fought back fell from the ground."
Zhao Huan couldn't help but think of the imperial tomb of the Song Dynasty, which is still a wasteland now.
In 160 years, more than a thousand scholars and generals who left their marks in history were still trampling their bodies.
Except for Zhao Kuangyin's tomb, no one else could even throw out anything.
Before his death, Zhao Kuangyin was still repairing the sealed tents. The Liao Kingdom was in a strong momentum at that time. In order to redeem the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Zhao Kuangyin did not hold a major funeral when he died, and there were few things to be buried with him.
Zhao Huan was quite understandable about Tong Guan’s behavior of buying Yanyun’s Sixteen Prefectures. After all, it was Zhao Kuangyin’s ancestral teachings. Moreover, Zhao Huan once discussed with Zhong Shidao which is more lethal, plague or smallpox. For Zhao Huan, the result is the most important, but the process is not important.
No matter what means the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are brought back, it will be a great achievement.
Unfortunately, Tong Guan bought it for a long time. Datong Mansion, Yuguan, Beigukou, and Juyong Pass in the Eight Paths of Taihang were all in the hands of the Jin people, which meant that they didn’t buy it.
"Have you seen this Lanting Cultivation Tour?" Zhao Huan suddenly asked with a smile.
