461 The Emperor’s Gift
Chen Rui carefully used a hairdryer to blow the wet pages of the book from a distance.
These pages seem tough, but they are also fragile.
After all, it was something from hundreds of years ago, so he had to blow dry the pages as soon as possible.
Because this book is still a manuscript, if it is not blown dry as soon as possible.
The handwriting on the next few pages is likely to be blurred...
He held the hair dryer and blew it for about half an hour.
Finally, he blew the whole book thoroughly and put down the hair dryer. The first thing he did was to carefully check the contents on those pages.
Fortunately, those handwritten characters were not confused.
Even the illustrations on those few pages were very good, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Lao Yang, who had long been unable to hold back, snatched the book.
After reading it carefully, he had read this book before.
And in his opinion, this book does have some problems.
However, his initial judgment was that this book should be a book from the early Ming Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty.
But he did not expect that this book was actually the only book of the Liao Kingdom.
At this moment, he opened the page until the end. Looking at the words given by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Lao Yang fell into silence.
Wang Jiu next to him didn’t know much about such ancient books.
After watching for a while, I couldn't help asking.
"What? Is this book very precious?"
Lao Yang then came to his senses, glanced at him, and said.
"What do you think? This is not the ordinary "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", this is a book given to the Emperor of Liao by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."
"Oh? There's still this?"
When Wang Jiu heard this, he felt energetic.
"See, in the sixth year of Tiansheng, this is the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song, which should be 1028 AD."
"As for the Emperor of Liao at that time, it seemed that it was the time when Yelu Zongzhen of Liao Xingzong."
"This should be a batch of medical books given to Emperor Renzong of Liao Xingzong back then!"
Lao Yang loudly explained the history of that year to Wang Jiu.
"Well, since it is a gift given to each other by the emperors, it should naturally be precious."
Wang Jiu looked at the book in Lao Yang's hand and couldn't help swallowing.
Chen Rui laughed.
"It's not just precious? It's simply too precious."
Wang Jiu looked at him stupidly: "How do you say this?"
"First of all, I want to talk about the emperor Song Renzong."
"This emperor can be said to be the best-known emperor in the history of the Song Dynasty."
"This can be seen from his posthumous title."
"It is said that when he died, another emperor of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Hongji, even cried."
"A mourning ceremony was held specifically for him, and even a tomb of clothing was established for him."
Chen Rui said to Wang Jiu with a smile.
Since I got the Song Dynasty's "Rhymes of the Ministry of Rites" some days ago.
When Chen Rui came back, he really studied the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, especially about various ancient books, and he really read a lot.
This is the one that impressed him deeply.
In the past, because the Song Dynasty was a humiliating dynasty, Chen Rui was not willing to understand the history of this dynasty.
But after studying this time, he found that this dynasty seemed quite interesting.
These dynasties, including the Liao Kingdom that confronted him at that time, the Jin Kingdom that later rose, and even Mongolia, are all quite interesting.
Especially this section, the section where Emperor Daozong of Liao cried for Emperor Renzong of Song.
When he saw this historical record, he even wondered if he was dazzled.
Because in his memory, these two countries seem to have been fighting wars.
Why is there such a history of friendship and mutual love?
At that time, there was an ancient book called "Shaw Brothers' Experiences and Experiences" that recorded this passage.
Even the "Records of the Grand Historian" of the Liao Kingdom and the "Khitan Kingdom" have records of this history.
Emperor Daozong of Liao mourned for Emperor Zhenzong of Song, and ordered all concubines to mourn mourn...
"And the reason why this Liao emperor respects Song Renzong so much."
"There are two aspects. On the one hand, it is because the Liao Daozong is a literary youth and likes Han culture very much."
"I even made a collection of poems called "Qingling Collection", so he yearned for the culture of the Song Dynasty."
"Another reason is because of the medical skills that Song Renzong gave to the Liao Kingdom."
"According to the records of the Khitan Kingdom, not only did the three volumes of the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, but also 138 volumes of the Shennong Hundred Grass Classic."
"The 100 volumes of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", these books have greatly improved the medical level of the people of Liao Kingdom."
"So this Liao emperor respected Song Renzong in particular, so that he had records of his mourning."
"It's a pity that later, due to the war, most of the medical books sent out that year disappeared."
"Now we have found one in Japan. Do you think this book is particularly precious?"
Chen Rui explained the whole story of this book to Wang Jiu.
Wang Jiu was also happy to slap his face.
"It turned out to be a lonely book from the Liao Dynasty, and it was a gift from the emperors. That was really great."
"I am so happy to see such a national treasure and return to our Chinese people."
Wang Jiu is even happier than Chen Rui and Lao Yang at this moment.
This really made Chen Rui feel a little uncomfortable.
Wang Jiu also saw that he seemed to have some doubts about himself.
He simply laughed: "Brother, you don't know."
"I've been working undercover all these years in my little days."
"I have actually participated in many such antique private photos over the years."
"But whenever I look at our baby, I'm selling it all over and over again by these turtle calves, my heart is bleeding!"
"It's hard to say how much blood those babies have been stained with!"
"So every time I attend such a private photo shoot, I will take our antiques back as much as possible."
No matter whether Wang Jiu’s words are true or not, the emotions he has revealed at this moment are always correct.
Chen Rui smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Wang, it's really not easy for you to be in Cao's camp for so many years."
"Haha, you still understand me..."
Just a few words of commercial hype made Chen Rui quickly narrow the distance with Wang Jiu.
The two soon became familiar with each other.
"By the way, Lao Yang, how are you preparing those things?"
"Tomorrow, the Oedo Dashi will be opened. I'll prepare the antique stall for you."
After chatting for a while, Wang Jiu suddenly changed his mind and asked Lao Yang.
Old Yang laughed at him, and then patted the box beside him.
"Don't worry about this. I've prepared everything long ago. I'm just waiting for the antique market here to open!"
Chen Rui glanced at the box and found that it contained the blue and white porcelain fired by him and Lao Yang before.
Chapter completed!
