Blue and white porcelain is the pinnacle of Chinese porcelain art. It is full of simple, elegant and noble beauty and is recognized as a top art work in the world.
What was placed in front of Wu Yi at this moment was a fine piece of blue and white porcelain.
However, in Wu Yi's eyes, it is not only a piece of blue and white porcelain, but also a record of a period of history, and evidence of the thousands of years of struggle between witchcraftmen and medical practitioners.
The Hongwan Case, one of the three major cases of the Ming Dynasty, is also known as the Sixth Tribulation of the Wumen.
During the Ming Dynasty, the Wumen suffered two major calamities. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Yu and Yao Guangxiao, the two founding heroes, were both elders of the Wumen. They could have taken the opportunity to rise up and lead the Wumen to compete with the doctors. Unfortunately, they
They didn't like each other, so they actually competed for the position of the great witch of the witch sect, causing a huge quarrel.
As a result, there were constant internal strife within the witch sect, with members of the sect in complete opposition and killing each other. In the end, Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, took advantage of him. He first killed Lan Yu and then demoted Yao Guangxiao. He also burned the witch sect's books when compiling the Yongle Ceremony. This was the three destructions of the witch sect.
The second and fifth destruction in the tribulation!
In the next two hundred years, the Wumen disappeared for a long time, and was suppressed by the sudden appearance of Li Shizhen in the middle. It was impossible to hold its head up.
It was not until the Wanli Period that the Wumen took a breath of relief and once again penetrated into the center of power of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to win back the city by relying on imperial power.
As a result, the red pill case happened. Li Kezhuo offered red pills, and Emperor Taichang died suddenly after taking the medicine. The Wumen was hit again and was in ruins!
This was the sixth calamity of the Wumen. From then on, the Wumen withdrew from the court and could only wander around in the world.
Recalling the past of the Sixth Tribulation of Wumen, Wu Yi couldn't help but sigh. It is said that history is written by people. In fact, history is full of luck and accident. Many things are not as good as God's. That's why it is said that people write history.
, is just a ridiculous compliment to people. The real history is beyond the control of anyone. If we don’t get to that point, no one knows what will happen next.
Taking a deep breath and looking at Xue Zhen and Liu Yan who were sitting opposite and looking a little nervous, Wu Yi smiled and comforted: "Don't be nervous!"
"Are you not nervous?" Liu Yan said coquettishly, stroking her chest, "That's a plate that has been filled with red pills!"
Xue Zhen also nodded frequently and said: "Yes! I have heard from the master since I was a child that I must find this plate if I have the opportunity in the future to wash away the grievances of the witch clan. I never thought that one day I would see this plate with my own eyes! Great witch, you are really capable.
ah!"
Seeing Xue Zhen's thumbs up, Wu Yi smiled, and his expression gradually became serious. He stretched out his hands and put them on the plate, and said lightly: "I'm going to perform a spell, and Xue Zhen will protect me.
Liu Yan helped me wipe my sweat."
"Yes!" The two of them took action immediately. Xue Zhen was guarding the door. Without him, even hundreds of strong men holding submachine guns couldn't even think of rushing into the room.
Liu Yan prepared several towels and placed them all at hand.
Everything was ready, and both of them nodded to Wu Yi.
Wu Yi's hands slowly pressed against the surface of the plate, feeling the unique and delicate texture of the blue and white porcelain. The magic power in his body boiled instantly, and poured into the plate in one go!
At this moment, Wu Yi's soul seemed to have left his body and turned into a wisp of energy floating between heaven and earth. Get into the plate and feel its hundreds of years of memories!
Witchcraft? Traceability! It was originally used in some special cases, but it can be used in Wu Yi's hands, and it can even trace the memory of an item!
He wants to use this magical method to see what really happened back then!
Is there really something wrong with Hongwan, or is there someone who has tampered with Hongwan and is not clearing up the matter? How can we stand up to the persevering seniors of the Wumen who have repeatedly failed and failed!
"Shua..."
Wu Yi seemed to have entered a wonderful world, just like lying on the bottom of a quiet water, sparkling and strange. He could see aquatic plants growing around him, fish swimming in front of his eyes, and
Every particle of dust, every bubble, arises and dies, in an endless cycle.
Then he saw Ning Xiaotian, stroking the blue and white plate, chatting and laughing with a big-nosed foreigner.
Ning Xiaotian's image just flashed away, and the next second the blue and white platter appeared in a safe. After more than ten years of darkness, only occasionally did a foreigner with blue eyes and golden hair open the cabinet and take it out.
Come out and check and wipe it down.
Wu Yi knew that this must be the time when the blue and white plate was in the Pierre family, like a prison, isolating the world.
Then, the story of the blue and white platter goes back further. It appeared on a street stall in the 1980s. The old man setting up the stall obviously did not know the preciousness of the blue and white platter, so he put it with a bunch of messy pots and pans.
Together, for just a few bucks, you can take it away.
It was put on the street stall for several months, until one day, a foreigner came over to bargain, and finally bought it for a "high price" of six yuan. The old man counted the change one by one, looking smug as the blue and white market matched.
His last memory, who could have known that more than 20 years later, the value of this plate would reach 47 million?
Going back further, the blue and white platter appeared in the home of an intellectual-looking middle-aged man. As one of the most important kitchen utensils, its function was to hold vegetables. Stewed sauerkraut, roasted beans, vermicelli soup, and occasionally a fragrant beef meal.
, until one day, the intellectual was moving and sold it and a lot of old kitchen utensils to an old man who collected scraps.
We have to go forward, time flies by without stopping for a moment. Wu Yi saw the era of turmoil, the era of peace, the era of leap forward, the era of burning passion, and the era of war.
.
Many owners have experienced the joys and sorrows of life, love and hate, separation and separation, some have died, some have lived, some have been homeless, and some have become rich and powerful, but no matter what the fate of these people, the blue and white market remains silent.
Endure it all.
No one knows that it once changed the history of China. Now it is like a Qinhuai oiran whose beauty has been washed away, silently doing needlework. Only occasionally when his back aches, he looks out the window.
Thinking of those glorious days...
Activating the witchcraft and continuing to trace, Wu Yi's body began to shake slightly, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Liu Yan hurriedly leaned over and wiped away the sweat with a towel. In the blink of an eye, three or four towels became dripping with water.
Wu Yi didn't care about the losses caused by witchcraft. The scene of the Qing Dynasty had already appeared in his eyes. The blue and white plate fell into an official's family. Following the rise and fall of this wealthy compound for generations, he watched his building rise and his building grew taller.
, and watched his building collapse again.
Further forward, there was blood and fire, war and famine, and the blue and white disk was passed through the hands of many people, including high-ranking officials, dignitaries, eunuchs, and concubines. Suddenly, Wu Yi's eyes froze, and he tightened his gaze.
Keeping an eye on one person.
At this moment, Wu Yi is already living in 1620, four hundred years ago. This day is the first day of September, which is the day when Emperor Taichang died after taking red pills!
All the answers are right in front of you!
“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooocan wailing could be heard from the palace. The concubines, eunuchs, and palace maidens were in a mess. Some people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, some scurried around like ants on a hot pot, and some were dumbfounded.
.Some people are like mourning for their heirs, while others are sneaking around.
This was a eunuch, and judging from his clothing, he should be of high rank. When everyone was panicking because of the death of Emperor Taichang, he maintained a rare calmness.
I saw him walking towards a quiet corner, where there was only a large blue and white plate. Just an hour ago, the second red pill was placed on this plate and presented to Emperor Taichang.
The eunuch looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He grabbed the plate and took advantage of the chaos and walked out of the palace.
As soon as he left the palace, several people who looked like ministers came over in a hurry. The leading minister seemed to have left in such a hurry that even the official hat he was wearing on his head fell off. He couldn't wait to see the eunuch.
asked: "Wei Zhongxian, what is going on! Your Majesty was fine yesterday, why...how..."
Halfway through, his voice became hoarse, and he was obviously panicking.
Wei Zhongxian coughed dryly and said: "We don't know what's going on. Li Xuanshi and many concubines are inside. Sir, please go and take a look!"
Several ministers ignored Wei Zhongxian and all rushed into the palace. Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief, held the big plate and walked quickly, and soon came to a secluded corner.
At this time, the attention of everyone in the palace was attracted by the death of Emperor Taichang. There was not even a ghost here, but Wei Zhongxian looked around, as if he was waiting for someone.
Soon, a figure flashed at the door, and someone jumped in.
Wei Zhongxian raised his eyes and whispered: "My Lord Cui, you are here!"
Mr. Cui came to Wei Zhongxian, smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Wei!" After saying that, he reached for the blue and white plate.
Wei Zhongxian snorted coldly, hid the plate behind him and said, "Master Cui, I can't give you this!"
"Eunuch Wei, what do you mean?" Master Cui laughed dryly.
Wei Zhongxian said: "Cui Wensheng, I risked the annihilation of the Lingchi clan to do this terrible thing for you, but now I have gained nothing. You agreed at the beginning, if I had done this
, When the new king comes to the throne in the future, I will be the eunuch Bingbi of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. When I sit in that position, this thing will be useless. Otherwise, I don’t mind fighting to the death with you!"
Cui Wensheng's expression changed slightly and he said, "Eunuch Wei, it's too dangerous to leave this thing behind!"
"No!" Wei Zhongxian took a step back, "Master Cui, please don't force me. If things get serious, tens of thousands of your doctors will bleed into rivers, leaving no chickens or dogs behind! I'm a bachelor, but I'm not afraid of death!"
Cui Wensheng hurriedly retracted his hand and said sarcastically: "Eunuch Wei, you have misunderstood. You can rest assured that the position of Eunuch Bingbi, the Chief of Ceremonies, is definitely yours!"
"As long as you say this, I will keep this thing in my hands first. When you fulfill your promise, everything will be easy to talk about!"
"Cui Wensheng...Wei Zhongxian...that's it!" Using witchcraft to trace back this scene that happened four hundred years ago, the truth of the Hongwan case was finally revealed!
The doctor bribed Wei Zhongxian and tampered with the blue and white porcelain dish, so that Emperor Taichang died after taking the medicine.
From then on, the Wumen were expelled from the court, the doctors got rid of a serious problem, and Wei Zhongxian also took the opportunity to rise through the ranks and became the biggest traitor in the Ming Dynasty!
"In order to destroy our witch sect, you really dare to use any means! With this evidence, I want to see what else you have to say!"
Wu Yi was exhausted and the traceback came to an abrupt end, but the evidence he was looking for had been found! (To be continued...)
ps: I don’t know if you like these two chapters, but I had a lot of fun writing them, and I got the feeling I wanted...
