Chapter 935: The Reproduction of Famous Paintings

Anni Chen is a smart and understanding woman. She knows very well that the other party is the emperor, and this relationship may not last long. Abandonment and retention are all in the other party’s thoughts.

To show his feelings, Chen Anni weaves a poem with red silk thread on the brocade handkerchief: "The bright moon grows on the sea, and the world shares this time. My lover complains about the distant night, and I miss you all over the night; I feel the light full of my clothes, and I feel the dew that I can't bear to give it to you, and I'll sleep and dream of a good time."

After all, Zhu Cilang is also an experienced driver, and he can see through the hints of this kindergarten level at a glance.

Moreover, this kind of neat and delicate craftsmanship on a small brocade craft is rare and precious. Zhu Cilang did not have the habit of working in vain, so he habitually ordered people to get treasures and give them to them.

According to the rules, the emperor gave treasures, and the eunuch in front of the imperial court must pick one from the main hall where the royal treasure house is located.

But when I was away, it was more than a thousand miles away from the capital, so how could there be any treasures to give me?

None of the eunuchs who can serve as the emperor are waste. If the conditions are not sufficient, then the conditions will be created.

Soon, Eunuch Chen came to the imperial palace with a few brocade boxes, including jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and ancient books, and asked the emperor to choose one to give it to him.

Zhu Cixuan looked at these things in confusion, and then he remembered that he was on a tour, so he asked: "Where do you get so many things?"

Chen Mao approached and whispered: "Emperor, this was confiscated from Ma Jixiang's house in the Xijing Governor's Palace. I think the eunuchs are all servants of the royal family. These things should belong to the emperor and be transported back to the Da Nei..."

Just as Zhu Cixuan was about to speak to scold him, he suddenly caught a familiar object in the box.

"Expand the thickest painting to me!"

Because the Fuji Mountain House is seven meters long, much longer than ordinary calligraphy and paintings, and the largest volume rolled up, it is very conspicuous.

The two eunuchs immediately stepped forward, holding the long scroll in one hand and slowly unfolded it.

In just a moment, the landscape paintings inside were clearly visible, and it was indeed the "Fuchun Mountain Residence" that Zhu Cilang thought of!

Not only did Zhu Cilang look strange, but Xu Sheng next to him was also full of surprise. He was the one who accompanied the emperor and empress in love to buy this painting at Jinyu Pavilion, and he also beat the little boy from the Ning Jinbo family.

He said blankly: "Your Majesty, isn't this painting in the palace? Why does it appear here?"

Zhu Cilang's expression remained unchanged. He approached the long scroll and carefully identified it. Because there are too many fakes these days, one of them is not allowed to appear among the people.

But after a moment, his face changed. This thing is the real thing!

Because the collections in the palace are marked!

In the Forbidden City, eunuchs controlled the tributes presented to the Ming Dynasty royal family by the provinces and foreign envoys below, and were responsible for the collection and supervision of these tributes.

Royal collections have always been like royal gift shops. Every emperor can control these treasures at will, taking whatever he likes and giving them to whom he wants to, so as to win people's hearts and strengthen dynasty rule.

However, among the royal treasures, eunuchs can easily steal some to bribe or bribe the trustees in order to gain personal gain.

In response to this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to realize that eunuchs were involved in tributes and royal collections, so he issued an order to comprehensively count the royal collections and register them in the fifth year of Hongwu. He also specially stamped the ancient books he had found, and used half a seal as a mark on the calligraphy and paintings, and then customized them.

These seals are usually stamped on the left half of the collection, on the edge of the painting, and the right half is stamped on the book document that registers the painting.

This kind of mark is not big, it is still half, and it does not affect the edge of the work, so it is difficult for people who don’t know that this is a thing in the palace.

Although the little official in the river yamen loves to collect, he doesn't know the secret at all.

Although Ma Jixiang himself is a eunuch in the palace, he comes from the Imperial Horse Bureau and knows nothing about collection. He is an amateur fake collector.

Zhu Cixuan frowned and said, "Did these things really come from Ma Jixiang's mansion?"

Seeing this scene, and listening to Xu Sheng's words just now, Chen Mao probably guessed what happened. He immediately replied: "Report to the emperor, the one who really copied it from Ma Jixiang's mansion was supervised by the servants himself."

Zhu Ciyang wondered why this painting appeared in Shaanxi? Could it be that Ma Jixiang stole it from the palace?

Eunuchs and palace maids steal palace items out of the palace. This has happened throughout the dynasties, but most of them steal small objects, such as porcelain or other common items.

Royal supplies, even chamber pots, are extremely precious works of art and are very valuable outside the palace.

Especially the chamber pots used by the emperor are even more high-end things. For example, Zhu Cilang and Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty, used the same model, which is golden.

It is worth mentioning that when the emperor used a chamber pot, he did not hold his urine himself, but needed someone to serve him, not a eunuch or a palace maid, but a concubine who served the carriage that night. (Does he feel the picture?)

Don’t underestimate this short ten seconds. Urinating is a kung fu job. All concubines must undergo rigorous training, otherwise they will be unable to pee.

For example, in winter, the chamber pot should be wrapped with a quilt. The emperor must not use a cold chamber pot when using it. If the emperor's little brother is placed on the edge of the chamber pot and cools the emperor's little brother, it is not a joke, and the consequences are very serious!

This is not a big deal. You can't lift the quilt when you urinate in winter. Because you regret freezing the emperor, you must put it in the quilt and help the emperor urinate with the feel of your hand. You can't drip the urine on the quilt. You must wipe it clean with a soft towel, and if necessary, you must use your mouth...

The important thing is that the concubine cannot let her body cool down when she urinates. In this way, she will ice the emperor and affect the emperor's emotions.

Therefore, if you want to become an imperial concubine and roll the bed sheets with the emperor, you must undergo strict urine training, otherwise you will not be qualified to sleep with the emperor!

In disguise, being an imperial concubine also requires mastering a "craftsmanship".

Of course, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty could not enjoy such treatment, and the concubines took it away after sleeping. But at night, they could only let the eunuchs do the urination work...

Having said that, even if it is a chamber pot, as long as it is stolen by eunuchs or palace maids in the palace and sold outside the palace, it will still be executed if it is caught, let alone such precious calligraphy and paintings.

Looking at the "Fuchun Mountain Residence" in his hand, Zhu Cilang's face became more and more gloomy. Now Ma Jixiang and a group of eunuchs have been executed and cannot be asked, so he can only check it out from the palace.

He said to Xu Sheng: "Send someone to send an order to Qiu Zhizhong, and ask him to check the main hall and locate all the collections in the palace!"

The royal collection is very rich, including calligraphy, painting, seal carving, jade and jewelry, furniture and stones, cultural relics from all dynasties, etc., but the "Fuchun Mountain Residence" is hidden in the main hall.

The main hall is located on the east side of Zuoshun Gate of the Forbidden City and the south side of Wenhua Hall. It is a place where ancient and modern books are collected, as well as the study of the crown prince, kings, heroes, and dukes and marquises. It was built by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lao Zhu felt that these empire flowers not only need to learn to govern the world, but also need cultural influence!
