Chapter 63 Night Pearl 3
Yu Yan was familiar with history books and was a little impressed by the famous Huang Yanjing in history. After reading these words, he was shocked.
The orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not an ordinary person. He was the sixth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, with the temple name "Yingzong". This Zhu Qizhen is very famous in history. He appointed the eunuch Wang Zhen to take power, the government [***], and the eunuchs were in power. He was in charge of the southern assassins. Unexpectedly, he was personally conscripted by Wang Zhen's support. He used troops improperly, which led to the "civil engineering change". He was captured by the Mongols Waji Department, lost the throne, and was later released.
Of course, this Emperor Yingzong was not a simple person. Eight years later, he regained the throne through the "change of seizing the door", with the year name "Tianshun". He died at the age of 38, and the temple was called "Yingzong". Being an emperor was pulled off the horse, but he was able to get back on the horse, which can also be said to be unique in history. He is really a famous master.
The seal on this night pearl turned out to be the jade seal of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, which really surprised Yu Yan. Yu Zitong was also shocked when she learned of the name of the Emperor Yingzong. Is this the seal of the Yingzong who was captured by Wak? Isn't that really more than 500 years old?
Yu Zitong took a long breath and said, "This night pearl is so easy to break and smooth. How did they engrave this seal? It doesn't make people feel a little puncture?"
Fang Lao said, "This is not engraved. If it is carving, no matter how superb the craftsmanship is, it will also leave edges and corners, destroying the overall beauty of the night pearl. This seal seems to be watermarked, but more than 500 years ago, who could have such a superb craftsmanship to shrink this seal so small and then photocopy it to the night pearl, and after 500 years, it is still bright and lifelike. Even the current micro-carvings dare not say that it is so amazing.
Mr. Fang sighed, "What kind of craft is this? It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a strange trick. The wisdom of our ancestors is incredible. We latecomers don't know how they did it. I'm really ashamed, ashamed!"
Yu Yan and Yu Zitong also sighed that although our era has progressed, our predecessors still created one miracle after another that amazed and sighed us modern people. A deep sense of national pride permeated in the hearts of several people.
Yu Yan came up with a question and said, "Mr. Fang, are you sure that it is the seal of Emperor Yingzong?" Mr. Fang nodded and said, "In our industry, the identification of the seals of emperors of various dynasties is the most basic. I can confirm that it is indeed the seal of Emperor Yingzong."
Confirmed from the master's mouth, Yu Yan was immediately relieved. It seems that the origin of the ancestor of the demon gate is really not simple, and even this kind of royal thing can be used. According to Yu Yan's estimation, there must be few such big night pearls, and they must be used to be illuminated in the emperor's bedroom.
Sure enough, Mr. Fang continued: "From the material and seal, this night pearl must be used in the Yingzong's bedroom, and the number is extremely rare. I didn't expect to see it from Mr. Yu today. The old man is inexplicably grateful."
Yu Yan smiled and said, "This is also passed down from one of my elders. It is said that there were ancestors who worked in the Ming Palace, and I don't know why a few of them came to me." Yu Zitong smiled in her heart. Who else could be a job in the palace? This boy couldn't talk nonsense.
Mr. Fang naturally won't ask about the source of the night pearl. He just listened to what he said, and there were still a few in his hand. It's a great blessing for others to have one, and it's really amazing that the young man in front of him will have a few.
Yu Yan said, "After saying so much, can you ask Mr. Fang to evaluate the price and see how much it is worth?"
Fang Lao said, "In terms of material and specifications, this night pearl is pure and transparent without any impurities and has a very large body shape. In terms of age, it has a history of more than 500 years. You must know that even a piece of papyrus 500 years ago will be more valuable than gold now. Although this metaphor is vulgar, it is also very reasonable. Yu Yan and Yu Zitong smiled and didn't say anything.
"In addition, it has the emperor's jade seal on it, not to mention anything else, but this process can double its value, not to mention that it is a royal thing, or a famous emperor like Ming Yingzong, it is not too much to describe it as a priceless treasure. The old conservative estimate that the market price should be at least about 10 million." Mr. Fang said seriously.
Although Yu Yan and Yu Zitong were psychologically prepared, they didn't expect that a night pearl was worth the price, and they were stunned.
Mr. Fang looked at their look and thought that he thought his valuation was too low. He hurriedly said, "The market of the jewelry market is changing very fast, and this 10 million is only the most conservative estimate. In all dynasties, the imperial supplies of the first emperors and last emperors and especially well-known emperors were relatively easy to buy at a good price. This night pearl can be said to be jewelry, but it is more appropriate to say that it is a cultural relic, and it is extremely precious and rare. If it is auctioned, I think it should be able to be auctioned for at least 15 million yuan. Of course, this is also the most conservative estimate.
Yu Yan and Yu Zitong looked at each other and saw a strong joy in each other's eyes. There were too many surprises today, and both of them suspected that they were in a dream.
Yu Yan is more adaptable and said with a smile, "Well, Mr. Fang, because we are eager to use money, we want to use this night pearl as collateral and turn out a sum of money."
Mr. Fang has been doing such a business all his life. Of course, he understood what he meant. He hurriedly said, "This is no problem. For other customers, we usually pay 80% of the evaluation price in advance, except for both of you. Although this rare treasure is too tacky to estimate with money, it is also the most practical and effective method. If you need it, the 10 million can be put into your account immediately and the final payment will be settled after the auction.
Yu Yan nodded with a smile, took out a baby's fist-sized night pearl from his bag and said, "Please take a look at this one."
Mr. Fang was stunned. The young man in front of him took out two rare night pearls in one breath, which was so surprising. However, he has been engaged in this industry all his life and has seen a lot of ups and downs. Although he was surprised for a while, he quickly replied. After a while, the pearl looked at it carefully. After a while, he raised his head and sighed, "Mr. Yu, you are really a master. This one is almost exactly the same as the other one. The material, specifications and Yingzong seal are really priceless.
Yu Yanxin said that I still have more than a dozen of these things. It seems that the ancestors of the Demon Sect have looted the bedroom of Yingzong.
Yu Yan smiled and said, "Well, Mr. Fang, Bao Qingxiang's strength should be very strong. We trust him very much. Can we pay the price of these two in advance?"
Mr. Fang said proudly, "Our Baoqingxiang has an auction every month, and we can loan 50 million yuan alone. This 20 million yuan is not a problem for us at all. However, rare things are precious. In order to discover the maximum value of jewelry, I suggest that you auction two gems separately, one this month and another next month, so that you can have a better price.
Yu Yan nodded and said, "This is up to you. The price is higher. I'm also happy. You can also get more commissions." Mr. Fang nodded and was about to speak when he saw Yu Yan take out another one from his bag. The shining brilliance made his eyes a little unable to open. This one was nearly twice as big as the first two, the size of a goose egg.
Mr. Fang only felt that his heart was about to jump out. Where did this god come from? He casually took out these three peerless treasures.
Mr. Fang trembled and picked up the pearl for the night. He only felt that his eyes were almost flashed. He calmed down, explored carefully, picked up the magnifying glass and found the red seal in it. Looking at the familiar small words, he was immediately stunned like a puppet. Guanyin, Buddha, come and save me. The seal is engraved with a few small words: "The seal of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty."
Yu Zitong heard Mr. Fang muttering in his mouth "Emperor Hongwu", and then he also leaned over. Looking at these words, he was also stunned. Who was Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty? Isn't it Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
Yu Yan understood it and was also a little clear in his heart. It seemed that the elders of these demons were specially looted the Ming Palace. Even the Taizu Emperor Yanjing looted, and the ten big ones seemed to be the looted Taizong's bedroom.
Does this demon gate have a grudge against the emperors of the Ming Dynasty? How can they be selected to rob their ancestors and their descendants?
It suddenly occurred to me that it was rumored that Zhu Yuanzhang was from the Ming religion, and many of his generals were from the Ming religion, so he established the name of the country as Ming, and the Ming religion is the rumored magic religion? ( Note: In the history books, the Ming religion (Mani religion) is true, and it is not compiled by himself or Jin Daxia.) It seems that after the division of the Ming religion, some people did hate Zhu Yuanzhang, and the looting of the palace is a clear proof.
