Chapter 744 Zhu Chongba's Imperial Decree
I made a phone call to Ge Ge and learned that the girl was having a good time, so I gave some instructions and hung up the phone, and then I immersed my mind in the storage space.

The seven large iron boxes were neatly placed in the space, which made Yang Jing feel inexplicably happy when he saw it.

Since I came to the Philippines more than 20 days ago, I have traveled to eight places. As a result, I found less than two tons of gold and two boxes of gems in the second and fourth places. There are still a lot of treasures buried under the Catholic Church in San Fernando, but hasn't it been dug up?

The seven big iron boxes in front of me can be said to be the first big harvest of this trip to the Philippines, but I don't know what good things are inside.

If there are no good things, Yang Jing will be very unhappy.This trip to the Philippines, not only did not have any big gains before, but also encountered earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and super typhoons, and almost lost my life here.If there is no good harvest this time, Yang Jing thinks that God is really sorry for such a diligent self.
Rubbing his hands together, Yang Jing consciously opened the first box, and it turned out that it wasn't the imagined gold or other precious metals, but something wrapped in a thick layer of oilcloth, which made Yang Jing instantly happy.

Obviously, there must be good things wrapped in this thick oilcloth, otherwise the little devil wouldn't be so careful back then.

Not bad, the oilcloth was well preserved in the iron box, at least no damage was found.

Gently uncovering this layer of oilcloth, the things inside the oilcloth immediately made Yang Jing's eyes straight.

Neatly placed in the box are a dozen exquisitely crafted gilded Buddha statues with a height of about forty centimeters and various shapes, or simply put, these Buddha statues are pure gold Buddha statues.

Yang Jing took these ten Buddha statues out of the space with his consciousness, and sure enough, the heavy feeling proved that these ten Buddha statues were not made of gilt gold, but were made of real pure gold.

These Buddha statues include Buddha statues, Bodhisattva statues, and more Guanyin statues, all of which have different shapes.However, the shape of these Buddha statues Yang Jing seemed to be somewhat different from the Buddha statues in Chinese history, so he used his identification skills without hesitation, and the answer he gave really confirmed Yang Jing's guess.

These Buddha statues are all pure gold bronze statues from the Angkor Dynasty, and their production history ranges from 1190 to 1432 AD.Judging from the production years of these Buddha statues, it also proves that that era was the beginning and heyday of the Angkor Dynasty's belief in Buddhism.

You know, in the early days of the Angkor dynasty, most people in Angkor believed in Shiva, but when Suryavarman II reigned, that is, in the early twelfth century, this great king converted to Vishnu. , and during his reign of the Angkor Dynasty, the original statue of Shiva in the temple was replaced with the statue of Vishnu.

However, 30 years after the death of Suryavarman II, another greater king of the Angkor dynasty, Jayavarman VII, succeeded to the throne.

During the reign of the greatest king in the Angkor dynasty, he pushed the Angkor dynasty to its heyday and became the most prestigious ancient monarch in Cambodia.However, the king believed in Buddhism and regarded Avalokitesvara as the patron saint of the Khmer people. He believed that he could guide people to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and built four-sided Avalokitesvara statues everywhere in the country.Most of these Avalokitesvara statues have half-opened eyes, lowered eyes, and a calm and mysterious smile on their mouths, known as "Khmer smiles".During this period, Buddhist temples such as Prasa Pulan Kedi, Tarong, Pagan and Bayon were built, showing the unique color of Angkor Buddhism.

Obviously, these Buddha statues were looted from that country when the little devils occupied Khmer.And these Buddha statues that can be cherished by little devils as treasures are naturally the best among them.

And these pure gold Avalokitesvara statues are indeed treasures, and any one taken out can be called a Khmer national treasure.Even in China, the value of these pure gold Buddha statues and Guanyin statues is very high.

And so many national treasure Buddha statues and Guanyin statues are enough to support an exhibition hall!

After Yang Jing admired these precious pure gold Buddha statues one by one, he took them back into the space again, and began to focus on the lower layer of the box.

Most of these pure gold Buddha statues and Guanyin statues are less than half a meter high, so they are placed in two layers in this one-meter-square box, and there is a partition in the middle of the box.

After pulling out the partition, sure enough, there are still more than a dozen Buddha statues and Guanyin statues under the partition, as well as some other Buddha statues with strange shapes.Yang Jing appraised it, and those strangely shaped Buddha statues were the pure gold bodies of Lord Shiva and Vishnu.

This big iron box is full of pure gold Buddha statues of different shapes. The lightest weight of a Buddha statue is about forty kilograms. These twenty or so Buddha statues weigh nearly one ton!Even if they are all pure gold Buddha statues from the Angkor Dynasty, they are at least 700 years old if they can't stand them, and the earliest ones have a history of more than 900 years, let alone such exquisite shapes, so the value of this box of pure gold Buddha statues Far more than the same weight of gold, the real value is hard to estimate!
nice one!What a good thing!

Yang Jing is very satisfied with this good start. Just this box of Buddha statues is worth traveling so many places in the Philippines.

After arranging these pure gold Buddha statues in the space one by one, Yang Jing opened the second iron box with anticipation.

After opening it, there was still a thick layer of oilcloth in the second iron box. After the oilcloth was uncovered, there was still a layer of silk inside, but because of the relationship between the outer iron box and the oilcloth, the protection of this layer of silk Very good, the most important thing is that the color of this layer of silk is actually bright yellow!
This discovery made Yang Jing look forward to it even more, and then he carefully uncovered the layer of silk, and the first thing that came into view made Yang Jing's heart tremble.

This turned out to be an imperial decree, and it was also the imperial decree of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
At the beginning of the imperial decree are the eight characters of "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said", followed by dense content, and finally the emperor's seal and inscription.After Yang Jing read it again, he finally figured out what the imperial decree meant.

It turned out that in the 25th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1392 AD, six years before Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the Angkor Dynasty sent envoys to meet the famous Emperor Hongwu and presented many rare treasures. Emperor Hongwu was very happy and rewarded the Angkor Dynasty Envoys are many things.

This situation was in ancient China, especially in the heyday of the heyday of the Ming and Tang Dynasties, many vassal countries would come to pay tribute to China, and many countries around China were vassal states of the Huaxia Dynasty.

It is said that the Ming Dynasty was the most upright dynasty since Qin Shihuang unified China. This is beyond doubt.A detailed count of the twenty dynasties in Chinese history, excluding the three dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou in ancient times, whether it is the Qin Dynasty that ruled the world, or the Han Dynasty that "those who dare to offend my Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away", or lay down The Tang Dynasty, which became famous as the "Heavenly Khan", and the Song Dynasty, which was rich and powerful in the world, are actually not authentic in their methods of obtaining the dynasty.

Although Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, it can only be regarded as internal fighting; the same is true of Liu Bang's Han Dynasty; as for Li Tang, the same is true;

From the time of Qin Shihuang down in China, only the Ming Dynasty really won the world by means of "expelling the Tartars and restoring our Han".Although Zhu Yuanzhang's background is not good, and his looks are even more distinctive than Guo Degang, but I have to say that this Emperor Hongwu is indeed a great emperor!
Back then, Emperor Hongwu drove the Tartars of the Yuan Dynasty, who had plagued the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years, out of the land of China with the power of thunder. Consciously claiming to be a vassal, among them, the Angkor Dynasty is no exception.

The Angkor Dynasty, thousands of miles away, came to pay tribute. As a generation of emperors, Hongwu Emperor naturally would not be stingy with rewards, so a piece of imperial decree rewarded the envoys of the Angkor Dynasty with many treasures, and this imperial decree must have been recognized by the Angkor Dynasty at that time. The king of the dynasty is regarded as a holy treasure, and even a piece of paper has been preserved.But it's a pity that it was taken by the little devil.

The value of this imperial edict is hard to estimate. So far, only two imperial edicts of the Ming Dynasty have been discovered in the world. One was issued by Ming Yingzong in the 12th year of Zhengtong (1447) to the then Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing, Yunnan. It was 568 years ago that Guo Shixian, the father of Guo Zhen, was in charge.This imperial decree is also the only Ming Dynasty imperial decree found in China.

As for the other one, it was found in the hands of a Chinese collector in the United States. This Chinese collector had an imperial edict written in the handwriting of Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, and its value is difficult to estimate.

However, whether it is Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen or Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, they are all the gray grandsons of Zhu Yuanzhang. How can the imperial edicts issued by these gray grandsons or even the gray grandsons of the gray grandsons be compared with the imperial edicts issued by Zhu Yuanzhang, the real ancestor? compared to?

Moreover, whether it is the imperial edict issued by Ming Yingzong or the imperial edict issued by Emperor Zhengde, they are all "edicts", while the imperial edict issued by Zhu Yuanzhang is the "edict" of the eight classics. It is far inferior to the latter!
Since Qin Shihuang ruled the world and joined the six kingdoms together, he was no longer satisfied with the title of king, so he named himself emperor and called himself "Zhen". .

The Han inherited the Qin system and gradually established a complete emperor system. The word "zhaoyue" was first used in the imperial documents of the Han Dynasty.Since then, it has been used by successive emperors.However, the words "Fengtian Chengyun" never appeared in history before the Ming Dynasty.

The earliest inventor of the name "Fengtian" was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Since Zhu Yuanzhang, the words "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor" will appear in the imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty. "Or "Zhiyue" or "Chiyue", all represent different systems of imperial decree.

The imperial decree adopts different wordings depending on the specific content, and there are mainly three types: "Zhaoyue, Zhiyue, and Chiyue".

"Zhaoyue" is an edict to the world, and whenever major political events must be announced to the subjects of the world, use "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, Zhaoyue".

"Zhiyue" is used by the emperor when expressing the emperor's favor and announcing the hundred officials. When expressing the greatness of the emperor's grace in the imperial decree, it starts with "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, Zhiyue". "Zhiyue" is only for the purpose of proclaiming to all officials, and it is not issued to ordinary people. "

The imperial edict "has the meaning of admonition. When the emperor added officials to the ranks, he warned the officials to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, make persistent efforts, and not be complacent and arrogant.

In other words, "Zhaoyue" is the imperial decree that truly spreads orders to the world; issued by officials.

And this imperial decree uses the "Zhaoyue".Although the Angkor dynasty is only a vassal state, it is a major event for the state to proclaim its ministers and pay tribute. The emperor must order the world to let the people all over the world know the mighty achievements of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Emperor Hongwu issued this "edict" No wonder the decree!

If Zhu Chongba's imperial decree is taken out, its value is also inestimable!
