When the plaque was delivered, the seller's psychological price was 800,000. For any price exceeding this price, the auction house could receive an additional 20% as remuneration.
Jiang Zhihao gave 4 million, which means that the auction house can get an additional 1.6 million in handling fees! They are eager to get more of such a scapegoat.
"Mr. Jiang, congratulations, this plaque is really good. You must have a good sense when buying it!" said the owner of the auction house.
Gu Jianbo was already in a bad mood, and now that he saw the owner of the auction house being so flattering to Jiang Zhihao, he felt even more unhappy.
Not long after, the pearl necklace and plaque were delivered. Gu Jianbo didn't want the one hundred thousand yuan, so he directly thrust the necklace into Jiang Zhihao's hand and said in a strange tone: "It seems that you are really lucky, and you are very suitable for picking up leaks. But it's just that you are very lucky."
What you rely on is not luck, but the prudence of others."
It was obvious that he was very unconvinced.
Jiang Zhihao liked people who did not believe in evil. He asked with a smile: "Mr. Gu, do you think this plaque of mine is not worth buying?"
Gu Jianbo sneered and said, "You don't know if it's worth it? Just a broken piece of wood, even if it has a history of hundreds of years, it is still just a piece of wood after all."
Jiang Zhihao smiled, turned to the auction house owner and asked, "Do you have a hammer?"
The owner of the auction house didn't know what he was going to do, so he quickly said: "Yes, do you want to use it now? I will have someone bring it to you right away."
After getting the hammer in his hand, Jiang Zhihao asked someone to place the plaque on the ground, and while everyone watched in astonishment, he smashed it against the plaque.
Li Yujie was stunned when she saw it. She couldn't help but pull Li Tianle down and said: "Third uncle, Mr. Jiang is so angry. Although this thing is not worth four million, it is too wasteful to smash it like this."
Li Tianle shrugged and said: "Young and energetic, you have money and nowhere to throw it, so let him be."
At this time, with a click sound, the plaque split into two halves.
The owner of the auction house stood nearby and exclaimed: "There is something in here!"
Jiang Zhihao bent down, opened the cracked plaque, and then took out something from it.
The yellow silk cloth has scrolls made of precious agarwood on both sides. Because it has been sealed for a long time, a faint fragrance emanates from the inside of the plaque.
"This is..." The owner of the auction house widened his eyes, recognizing the origin of this thing, and immediately exclaimed: "Is this an imperial edict?"
Jiang Zhihao smiled and said: "That's right, this is indeed an imperial edict, and it is a handwritten edict written by Zhu Houzhao, the Zhengde Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
At this time, many people heard the movement and gathered around. Jiang Zhihao's words surprised some knowledgeable people.
As the emperor's exclusive document, imperial edicts have been one of the most precious collections in the world throughout the ages. However, due to the passage of time, wars, and dynasty changes, most of the imperial edicts have been destroyed, and very few authentic ones have survived in the world.
Zhu Houzhao, the Zhengde Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a dim emperor in historical records. He seldom interfered with the affairs of the court, and he left even fewer imperial edicts.
Most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were lazy. When giving orders, the cabinet ministers would give their opinions first, and then the emperor would use a red pen to comment. Later, they became specialized eunuchs who held pens to write for the emperor. Authentic writings by emperors are rare.
Such handwritten edicts are really rare.
Jiang Zhihao spread out the imperial edict and saw that it read: "As an official, you must fulfill your duties and put the people first at all times. You cannot endanger the interests of the people just because of your own selfishness. No matter what decision you make, you must take the interests of the people and
From the perspective of Jiangshan Sheji’s development.”
Someone exclaimed and said: "Historical records of the Ming Dynasty show that Emperor Zhengde not only built a leopard house to keep beauties in captivity, but also expropriated private property on a large scale, making the people miserable during the Zhengde period. If this imperial edict is true, then Zhu Houzhao may not be as mediocre as described in the history books.
, on the contrary, he was a king who loved the people and was diligent in his administration. This is simply a masterpiece that has subverted history!"
