"The original of Yongle grand ceremony, 1403-1408, Xie Jin."

Several times in a row, the holy ring gave such an answer, which made Yang Jing happy and almost died!

The position of Yongle Dadian in the inheritance of Chinese culture is definitely one of the few books at the peak, and there are absolutely few books comparable to it.

Yang Jing once saw the appearance of Jiajing copies of Yongle grand ceremony in the National Library, but the appearance of these copies of Yongle grand ceremony is slightly different from those Yang Jing had seen.

The size of these "Yongle ceremony" is a little larger than the Jiajing version. Yang Jing measured it with her palm. It is about 30 cm wide and about half a meter long.

As for the color and pattern of the cover, it is similar to the copy of Jiajing edition.

Yang Jing opened the cover of one of the books with trembling hands to reveal the contents. Yang Jing dared to swear with her head that the contents were definitely not printed, but a serious handwritten book written one by one!

In fact, the 370 million words of Yongle Dadian were all copied by the calligraphers with the pavilion style of the Ming Dynasty. All the mountain and river artifacts painted in Dadian are also drawn in line drawing, which is exquisite and exquisite. The number of courtiers, scholars and old scholars involved in copying reached 21600.

Zhu Di, the emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, ordered the compilation of Yongle Dadian in July 1403, the year he ascended the throne. He said to Xie Jin, Hu Guang and other ministers, "all ancient and modern things in the world are recorded in various classics. The volume is huge and difficult to retrieve. I want to widely collect the things contained in various books and use rhyme to control them for research. In this way, retrieving things is as easy as retrieving things. In the past, Yunfu Qun Yu and Huixi historical rhyme Although these books are also controlled by rhyme, they are not widely collected and the records are brief. I hope you can collect the books of a hundred classics and histories of all dynasties since the writing, as well as the materials of astronomy, geography, yin and Yang, medical calculation, monks and Taoism and skills in one book. Don't be too numerous. "

As soon as the emperor spoke, the lower courtiers naturally had to break their legs. After six years of adhering to the above intention, Xie Jin and others finally compiled this book, with a total of 22937 volumes, divided into 11095 volumes, and a collection of seven or eight thousand kinds of ancient and modern books.

At the beginning of the book's completion, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty once considered publishing it, that is, engraving and printing, but gave up because of the huge cost of work. Only one copy of the letter of appointment was copied by hand, which is called "Yongle original".

Among the five boxes in front of us, needless to say, it is the original of Yongle Dadian manually transcribed by boss Zhu Di, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty!

In 1449, the 14th year of orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, the Wenyuan Pavilion in Jinling burned, and the original manuscript of Yongle Dadian was burned. Fortunately, all the originals have been moved to Yanjing without this robbery.

In the 36th year of Jiajing, that is, in April 1557, a fire broke out in the palace, the Fengtian gate and the three main halls were burned, and the original of Yongle ceremony was almost destroyed. By this false alarm, Emperor Jiajing decided to organize manpower to copy a copy.

At the beginning of the re recording, Minister Xu Jie thought that copying tens of thousands of great ceremonies was a huge project, so there was no need to stick to the original style and calligraphy. However, after an in-depth review of the Da Dian, it was found that if the layout changed, the large and small characters and graphics on it would change. It was better to copy them as they were. Finally, it was decided to re record the original copy of Yongle without any change.

So in 1562, the 41st year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing summoned 109 writing and painting students to copy and draw officially. It took six years and was completed in April of the first year of Longqing. It was called "Jiajing copy".

The original disappeared later. Some people said that the original of Yongle Dadian was destroyed by a fire during the Wanli period, while others said that the original of Yongle Dadian was buried with the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Shenzong. As a result, after the Dingling mausoleum was opened in the 1960s, there was no trace of the original of Yongle Dadian.

Obviously, the original of Yongle Dadian was not buried with Emperor Wanli.

But the original did disappear without a trace.

Even the Jiajing copy was not valued at the beginning when it spread to the Qing Dynasty. It was not until the Yongle and Qianlong years that the Jiajing copy of Yongle Dadian was valued. The Siku Quan Shu compiled during the Qianlong years drew lessons from many copies of Yongle Dadian.

But at that time, even the copies lost a lot.

Later, in the late Qing Dynasty, the foreign powers invaded China, and the Jiajing copy was looted by the foreign powers. Until modern times, even the Jiajing copy only has more than 800 volumes in the world.

Even the Jiajing copy is a rare treasure all over the world, not to mention the originals that have disappeared for hundreds of years!

If these originals are taken back to the original time and space, they can definitely trigger a storm!

It was a pity for Yang Jing that only 6000 volumes, totaling 14688 volumes, were contained in the five large boxes. It accounts for a little more than half of the original of Yongle grand ceremony.

However, although there are some regrets that the Yongle grand ceremony here is incomplete, it is an eye opener for God to get so many Yongle grand ceremonies, which are still the original of the eight classics!

It is not clear why the original of Yongle Dadian, which had disappeared in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, appeared here. Was it brought by Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang?

This is the only reason to explain why most of the original of Yongle Dadian appeared here. There is no way to explain this for other reasons, and there are many gold, silver, jewelry, precious calligraphy and paintings to prove this. In the turbulent era of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the royal family had the ability to gather so many precious things together.

Although the holy ring is magical, it can only simply identify the detailed origin of something. As for how this thing came here, the holy ring also has no such function.

Looking at the five big boxes, Yang Jing was stunned for a while. Finally, he laughed twice. His left hand touched the boxes. In an instant, the five big boxes disappeared in place and entered the upgraded storage space.

As a result, when Yang Jing put all the boxes into the storage space, she found that there was a small purple black wooden box on the ground.

Intuition made Yang Jing happy when she saw the small wooden box. She hurried forward a few steps and picked up the small box as soon as she saw it.

The box is very heavy. It is also made of small leaf red sandalwood. Although it is small, it is heavy in my arms.

There was also a small copper lock on the small box, but the small copper lock had long been rusted. Yang Jing easily opened the small box.

There is also oil paper as a package inside. After uncovering the oil paper, you can see a silver straight button seal. Judging from its size, it is obviously the three highest level official seals in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the straight button seal that can only be used by first-class officials.

Yang Jing picked up the square straight new seal and looked at the seal at the bottom. She was surprised and suddenly enlightened. Because the seal of this square seal is impressively "the public seal of Guizhou".

Needless to say, this must have been left by Mu Tianbo, the last Duke of Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty.

Think about Mu Tianbo's first fight against sun Xiwang with Li Dingguo, and finally escorted him into Myanmar. Finally, he died in Wa City, Myanmar, an absolute generation of loyal officials. Looking at the treasures in these twenty large boxes, it is not difficult for Yang Jing to guess who put these treasures here.

In addition to bathing Tianbo, others may not have such ability and courage.

If others hide these treasures here, maybe Yang Jing will doubt that person's purpose. But it is absolutely impossible for mu Tianbo and Li Dingguo to do such a thing.

Mu Tianbo finally died in Myanmar in order to protect Zhu Youlang and fought with Burmese soldiers to death. After learning that emperor Yongli was finally killed by Wu Sangui, Li Dingguo was also depressed. He followed emperor Yongli for only one year and died at the age of 42.

These two generals can be said to be the last loyal ministers of Nanming Dynasty, and their loyalty is undoubtedly. If Mu Tianbo hid these treasures here, they must have his purpose.

Sure enough, under the seal, Yang Jing found a letter. After carefully opening it, Yang Jing was moved by the contents again.

Ning Yu, my brother:

If you see this letter, you must have received a letter from brother Wei. Brother, in awazhu City, I wish you can use this military capital to show your strength again, defeat the Tartars in yundian, return the heaven and earth of yundian, and your majesty can also return to yundian.

This military fund was raised for my brother in many ways. The original of Yongle Dadian was owned by his majesty LiZong, the former Emperor, and was given by his majesty Shenzong. Later, his majesty gonglizong died of illness in Wuzhou. His majesty Zhaozong has been collecting these books.

There are also those famous calligraphy and paintings of this and previous dynasties, which were also given to the former Emperor by his majesty Shenzong. Later, they have been brought here by his majesty Zhaozong together with the Yongle ceremony.

Gold, silver and jewelry were raised by my brother after his majesty Zhaozong arrived in Kunming. In the ninth year of Yongli, after my brother escorted me to Kunming, I felt that the Tartars were powerful, so I tried my best to raise military funds in three years. These 200000 taels of gold and 1 million taels of silver were all the military funds raised for my brother in three years.

In the 13th year of Yongli, he escorted his brother into Myanmar and arrived in manmo on the 29th of the first lunar month. He felt deeply that the Lord of Myanmar was wary of his majesty, so he begged his majesty to divide troops for safety. His majesty also agreed with his brother's proposal, but the Empress Dowager Wang did not agree, so this method had to be shelved.

However, he persuaded his majesty to leave you the military funds raised over the years in order to make a comeback. His majesty promised and handed over the Yongle ceremony and many calligraphy, painting and jewelry collected for many years to his brother.

Brother Wei learned from the local natives that there was a lonely mountain near manmo, and there was a cave in the mountain, which was very suitable for treasure collection, when he was waiting for the Burmese leader to meet him in manmo. Therefore, after accompanying Dajia to the Burmese capital city of AVA, brother Wei asked his confidants to hide all the military assets hidden in the suburbs of manmo into the cave, completely seal the original entrance of the cave and reopen a new entrance. You must have known it in the letter given to you for your brother.

Over the past three years, your majesty has had a hard time in AVA city. I look forward to you making good use of this military fund to fight against Tartars and strive to welcome your Majesty's return as soon as possible!

I wish you a great victory on the battlefield and repel the Tartars!

Brother: Mu Tianbo

In the first month of the 15th year of Yongli, it was in awazhu city

This letter, more than 400 years late, explains the true source of these treasures
