None of the five old men thought that Yang Jing had made such an earth shaking thing.

Yes, if this volume of silk is finally identified as the authentic work of the river map during the Qingming Festival, it is definitely an earth shaking thing. The world can't find a few more precious paintings than this one.

Xiao Laogang just measured it with a ruler. This volume of silk is much larger than the picture of the river during the Qingming Festival collected in the Palace Museum. It is 34.8 cm vertically and 746.4 cm horizontally. No matter which data, it is much larger than the picture of the river during the Qingming Festival collected in the Palace Museum.

The problem of size is not mentioned. The collection seal on this silk book alone cannot be ignored. There are few seals on this volume of silk book. Only Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Linghu have the seal for collection, but no one dares to underestimate this volume of silk book.

If the painting was really hidden by Zhao Lingqian, the lack of seals on it just proves the true identity of the painting.

The picture of the river during the Qingming Festival collected in the palace museum can be said to be full of disasters. Although no one knows how the picture of the river during the Qingming Festival was preserved, just looking at the seal on the picture is enough to prove how many people's hands the picture has experienced.

Some people may say that there are so many famous people's collection seals on the remnant, including famous collectors. Can't those top collectors identify the authenticity of the painting?

But what if the remnant of the picture of the river during the Qingming Festival collected by the Palace Museum was a high imitation from the beginning?

Who knows this?

Xiao took a breath and said to Yang Jing very seriously, "Xiao Jing, the five of us should take this painting back to the Palace Museum, and then organize experts to identify it. The painting involves too many aspects, and even we can't decide."

Yang Jing hesitated and asked, "second master, it's not that I don't believe you. As you said just now, this painting involves too many aspects. What if this painting is left in the yard? Once the painting is identified as authentic, it's a first-class national treasure..."

The old men were silent.

As employees, they know what kind of beating is in the hospital. Once the hospital knows which private person has collected a good thing, the hospital usually sends experts to lobby to win the good thing at a very low price, which is called Weiguo contribution

They used to do this kind of thing. Now it's their turn to their disciples. They really have no choice.

According to relevant regulations, the ownership of national first-class, second-class and third-class cultural relics can be owned by the state, collective or private. If the ownership belongs to the state and cultural relics can not be bought and sold, it is an offence. However, the first-class cultural relics with private ownership can be circulated in China, as long as they are not taken abroad.

There is no doubt that Yang Jing's painting belongs to Yang Jing personally in terms of ownership. First, they didn't steal it, second, they didn't rob it, and third, they didn't steal the tomb. They came through legal acquisition. Therefore, even the state has no right to force Yang Jing to hand over this volume of the river map of the Qingming Festival to the state.

But once the painting is identified as authentic, the impact will be too great. The courtyard will certainly find a way to collect it.

But how much can the yard pay for this painting? 100 million? Or 200 million?

Mr. Liu and his colleagues all know that if they want to collect such precious cultural relics in the yard, they have always been pickpockets. They want to collect them without spending a penny. But is this reality? His apprentice is a serious local tyrant with a fortune of several hundred million dollars. Behind him are two oil fields that continuously produce huge profits. He really doesn't need money. Once this painting is identified as the authentic work of Zhang Zeduan, one or two hundred million will never impress his disciple.

But they also understand that once the painting is really taken back to the yard, it is impossible to come out again.

Xiao Lao also immediately realized that what he thought was too simple. He blushed and said, "Xiaojing, this matter is not considered by master."

"Second master, it doesn't matter. You don't have to blame yourself."

Old Liu and Yang Jing are apprentices, but old Huang is not. He still wants to insist on taking the painting back to the yard for identification.

In this matter, the four of them, of course, turned to their disciples. The four of them have been searching for decades to find such a good disciple. Today, they have just worshipped the master. They have to support their disciples in everything they say.

Seeing that her four masters were going to quarrel with old Huang, Yang Jing quickly said, "isn't there another scroll that hasn't been opened? Let's open the scroll first and see what's inside. Maybe there's other information about the painting hidden in the scroll?"

When Yang Jing said this, several old men realized that there was another important scroll that had not been opened, so they immediately stopped. Old Guo personally operated the knife again and opened the other scroll.

After the scroll was opened, there was something hidden in it, but there was much less in it than in the first scroll.

It was also wrapped by a faded silk. Old Guo carefully opened the package and revealed what was inside.

It's a small seal and a roll of silk.

Old Guo first picked up the small seal. He just looked at it and cried out: "God, is this the gourd seal of the imperial book in the seven seals of Xuanhe?"

Old Guo shouted out in this voice, and several other old men were surprised.

"Let's have a look. Is it really Zhao Ji's Xuan and the gourd seal of the imperial book among the seven seals?" asked old Liu anxiously.

Old Guo lit up the seal in his hand, and several old men gathered together, even Yang Jing.

The last time he used the "perspective" skill to look at this scroll, he only saw that there were not many things hidden in it. He didn't look carefully at what it was. He didn't expect that there was also a collection seal of Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty.

Huizong of the Song Dynasty collected a wide range of calligraphy and painting treasures from all over the world, expanded the Imperial Academy of painting and calligraphy, collected famous works of previous dynasties in his house, and achieved unprecedented prosperity. He also ordered Wen Chen to compile Xuanhe Book Manual, Xuanhe picture manual and Xuanhe ancient painting. Xuanhe neifu not only gathered the treasures of the world, but also devoted themselves to the protection and sorting of calligraphy and paintings collected in the neifu, such as song qiaonian, Mi Fu, Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and Cai Bian. They were re framed and compiled into volumes. Song Huizong personally inscribed labels and classified them into collections.

Zhao Ji had to personally collect these famous historical works. With the similar beating nature of Zhao Ji and Qianlong, it was essential to stamp the seal of collection on those famous historical works.

According to the seals on some handed down calligraphy and paintings, later generations summarized Zhao Ji's jianzang seal, of which the most famous is "Xuanhe seven seals", also known as "Xuanhe seven seals".

"Royal book" gourd shaped seal, "double dragon" circular seal, "Xuanhe" Lianzhu seal, "Zhenghe" rectangular seal, "Xuanhe" rectangular seal, "Zhenghe" Lianzhu seal, "Neifu Book seal" nine fold generous seal, which is the so-called "Xuanhe seven seals".

It is said that the small double dragon seal under the inscription and postscript of the picture of the river on the Qingming Festival is the second of the seven seals of Xuanhe. Of course, this small double dragon seal is round, and another is square, which is called "double dragon square seal".

The "gourd seal of the imperial book" is the first seal among the seven seals of Xuanhe. It is said to be the favorite private seal of Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.

Just now, I clearly saw the double dragon round seal from the picture of the river during the Qingming Festival. Unexpectedly, I saw another seal of Xuanhe seven seals in another scroll.

Old Guo took the ink pad, dipped it in the ink pad, and then pressed it down from a piece of white paper. After taking it away, a clear gourd shaped carving with the word "imperial script" carved with small seal appeared on the white paper.

Several old men looked at the white paper next to each other, and finally nodded. Old Liu said directly, "this seal can't be fake. It's really the 'Imperial book' gourd seal of Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty."

Xiao Lao also said, "there is a seal of this square seal hidden in the Palace Museum in Tabei. I have also seen the seal of this square seal from some other handed down calligraphy and paintings. Yes, it is true!"

Huang Lao shook his head with an unbelievable expression and said, "I can't imagine. It's really unexpected! Zhao Ji's private collections can be preserved. If you say it, it's inevitable to cause a sensation. I thought Zhao Ji's private collections all disappeared in the Jingkang rebellion. I didn't expect that one side can be saved. It's amazing!"

Cai Yi said, "now the painting has strong evidence. With Zhao Ji's seal, it is more powerful than any evidence. Obviously, in terms of the relationship between Zhao Linghe and Zhao Ji, it must be that Zhao Ji encountered some disaster that can't be avoided, which made Zhao Linghe put this picture of the River during the Qingming Festival." In addition, the gourd seal of his "imperial book" is hidden. It is widely rumored in history books that Zhao Ji's favorite painting is the picture of the river during the Qingming Festival. "

Yang Jing took the opportunity to interrupt and asked, "fourth master, Zhao Ji is a great emperor of the Song Dynasty. What else can make him feel that he can't avoid the disaster?"

Several old men looked at each other and almost said in one voice: "Jingkang rebellion!"

Zhao Ji ascended the throne in 1100 and abdicated in 1125. He gave up the throne to his eldest son Zhao Huan and became the supreme Emperor himself. During his twenty-six years in office, he also witnessed the whole process of the Northern Song Dynasty from victory to decline, and was finally abducted 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. As the emperor of the great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji sits in the world. Naturally, there is nothing that can make him afraid. But the last Jingkang rebellion was something he had to fear.

As several old men said, there was nothing else that could make Zhao Ji, the supreme emperor, afraid except the Jingkang rebellion.
