The two brothers Xiang Yuanbian and Xiang Dushou followed the female official into the Forbidden City, keeping their eyes on their noses and their hearts on the way, not daring to look around.
Instead of passing through the three main halls, it went around to the Royal Library on the east side of Qianqing Palace.
The hall where they face saints is not big. The emperor is resting today and is sitting there reading a collection of books shipped from Beijing some time ago.
Seeing a man sitting in the hall, Xiang Yuanbian felt extremely majestic, and bowed his head before he could see his face clearly.
"Little citizen Xiang Yuanbian, I greet Your Majesty!" The two bowed side by side.
Zhao Han raised his head and smiled, "Sit down."
Two female officers moved the chairs, and the two brothers said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Han asked: "I heard that you have the authentic works of Shixian?"
Xiang Yuanbian immediately stood up again and untied the long bag behind his back. The bag was checked by the guard, and after confirming that it was a scroll, he asked him to bring it in
Li Xiangjun walked over, took it carefully, and slowly unfolded it in front of Zhao Han's case.
Zhao Han's first reaction was not to appreciate Li Bai's calligraphy, but to look at the surrounding seals and inscriptions.
Densely packed, everywhere.
Fortunately, Qianlong's inscription and seal are not there, and it looks much cleaner.
Historically, Qianlong built a pile by himself, and two of the emperor's seals were particularly large. The area of ??one of his seals was equivalent to several others. He built one when he was the emperor, and another when he was the emperor, and they were neatly arranged, crowded there for fear that others would not see them.
At this moment, admiring Song Huizong's thin gold body and seal, Zhao Han suddenly had an urge to put his own big seal on Li Bai's authentic work.
"Are you going to dedicate this painting to me?" Zhao Han raised his head and asked.
Xiang Yuanbian stood up again, and cupped his hands: "Such rare treasures, ordinary people dare not covet them, only the Holy Son of Heaven can get them."
Zhao Han said with a smile: "I am not a person who steals by chance, and I can't set this precedent for my descendants. If the people have treasures, they will take them for themselves. Isn't that a broken rule? Compared with Jiangshan Sheji, the authentic works of poets are nothing. "
"Your Majesty is holy!"
While Xiang Yuanbian was in doubt, he also admired the emperor.
He obtained the "Shangyang Tie" a few years ago. At that time, there was a severe drought in Zhejiang, and a broken family sold it to him. When Xiang Yuanbian saw this post for the first time, greed was born in his heart, and he decided to keep it for himself no matter what. If the negotiation with the other party fails, you will have to take it down if you seek money and kill yourself!
Thinking of his original thoughts, and comparing the indifference of the emperor in front of him, Xiang Yuanbian was deeply moved.
It's no wonder that others can be emperors, but I can only rely on my family wealth to collect.
Xiang Yuanbian continued: "Your Majesty, this is not a plunder by chance, but a sincere contribution from the common people. The thieves caused disasters in the Northwest, the Tartars ravaged Liaodong, and the whole country was plagued by famine and plague. , Sweeping away the turbidity, the universe is fixed, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Every time I think about this place, the people will admire inexplicably, and want to offer treasures and talk about respect.¡±
"You're a conversationalist," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Your family has a large collection of books. As a local rich family, you have been given away a lot of land, right?"
Xiang Yuanbian was startled, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the common people also read the "Datong Collection" day and night, knowing that the division of land is the national policy of our new dynasty in Datong. Aristocratic and powerful families have accumulated countless lands, while poor people have no place to stand. The source of disaster and chaos in the world. Your Majesty's division of land is for the sake of the people and for the great clan. If the land is not divided, no matter how much the rich clan has, if there is a rebellion by the bandits, it will be nothing but the death of the family. Even though the small people are separated Tens of thousands of acres of land, but I don't hate His Majesty, but think that His Majesty is the savior of Xiaomin!"
Zhao Han laughed loudly: "What a sharp tooth."
Xiang Yuanbian said: "It's not just eloquence, it's sincerity."
Zhao Han thought this person was very interesting, and said with a smile: "I know your intentions, but this precedent must not be set. Firstly, the descendants may follow suit and plunder private property; secondly, there may be many lucky ones in the world. They all want to offer treasures in exchange for wealth."
Xiang Yuanbian couldn't guess what Zhao Han was thinking, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's words are true. The Holy Son of Heaven has a far-sighted vision beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Zhao Han thought about it carefully: "Let's do this, this year the imperial treasury has quite a surplus, so I'll accept this authentic work of the Immortal Poem for 10,000 taels. This priceless treasure, even 10,000 taels is not enough, so you can make another request. Note To live, you can¡¯t ask for an official, you can¡¯t ask for a title, and you can¡¯t ask for a field.¡±

Xiang Yuanbian looked carefully at the emperor's expression and felt that he was not lying to himself, so hebsp; Fei Rulan copied the painting while holding her sleeve, without raising her head: "It's next door."
Zhao Han walked over to watch the two girls painting, laughed and went to the next door to find Liu Rushi.
Liu Rushi was reading, and when she saw Zhao Han coming in, she smiled and said, "Husband, the Wenyuan Pavilion in the Ming Dynasty still has the "Old Tang Book". I have always wanted to read this book, but unfortunately I don't know who to borrow it from."
Sometimes, it cannot be blamed that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were ignorant and ignorant. Many books that can be seen everywhere in later generations will never be seen by scholars in the Ming Dynasty.
For example, "Old Tang Book", which is not official history at this time, has not been circulated since the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty.
It was not until the Jiajing period that Wang Yangming, a well-known writer, accidentally discovered "Old Tang Book" while borrowing books in Suzhou. This history book was rediscovered after hundreds of years.
Zhao Han asked: "What do you think after reading it?"
Liu Rushi: "After reading the "Old Book of Tang", I feel that the "New Book of Tang" is making up stories, and it is extremely crude and absurd. But, "Old Book of Tang" is a little too detailed. In some places, it seems that the The Records of Emperors of the Tang Dynasty were transcribed intact."
Zhao Han sighed: "The history of Tang Dynasty also needs to be surveyed."
These historiographical works belong to the responsibility of a newly established dynasty, and Chinese civilization has continued in this way.
