Chapter 664 The dust falls to the ground and Lin Qingzhi’s purpose
The imperial seal of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty can be said to be a rare treasure that countless antique collectors dream of but cannot reach. Now it fell into his hands by chance. How could Shen Yu not feel excited and excited in his heart?
However, under this surprise, a heavy responsibility also weighed on Shen Yu's heart like a boulder. He knew that these treasures carrying historical and cultural value must be well protected in order to become a treasure in his own personal museum in the future. One of the treasures of the museum, it allows more people to appreciate the charm of the thousand-year imperial seal.
Just as he was about to bow deeply to Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang waved his hand and said, "The old man must have given this so-called imperial seal to you. But you also know that I have some small research on our Chinese history. In your opinion, where did Yang Guang go wrong?"
Shen Yu thought about his words and said, "Old Wang, from this junior's point of view, Yang Guang's mistake lies in his eagerness for success."
Mr. Wang's eyes lit up and he motioned for Shen Yu to continue.
Shen Yu gently turned the Chihu Button Emperor Seal in his hand and said loudly: "During his reign, Yang Guang showed an eagerness for success and a sweeping style of behavior, as if he was trying to control many undertakings of future generations under his own authority. Complete it all within one dynasty.
"He vigorously promoted the imperial examination system and established the Jinshi Branch, trying to completely break the long-term control of the officialdom by the gentry clan. This move was supposed to be a long-term project that was gradually improved and divided into three generations of emperors or four or five generations of emperors to do the final work. suitable.
"At least we have to wait patiently for those poor children who entered the imperial examination to grow up and have people of their own to command, and then we can take action on the noble families.
"In other words, if you first cultivate a group of confidants who are trustworthy and loyal, then when you touch upon the intertwined core interests of the gentry, you can at least be invincible!
“Advance to attack, retreat to defend!
"And he is pushing forward forcefully without even taking the throne, which is extremely unwise!
"You must know that the Wei and Jin Dynasties are the Wei and Jin Dynasties. From the prime ministers and assistants in the court to the county magistrates and minor officials, they are basically the disciples and former officials of the famous families.
"The interests of the nobles were touched, and the result was that he made a wedding dress for Li Tang.
"The construction of the Grand Canal was undoubtedly correct, but it also depended on the national strength and the people's strength at the time. It would be better to dig it slowly over three or four generations. After all, the Han Dynasty could still maintain its position without a canal.
"In terms of foreign campaigns, the three conquests of Goguryeo severely overdrawn the Sui Dynasty's national power. In the end, not only did they fail to lay a foundation for future generations, but they personally pushed the Sui Dynasty into the abyss of destruction, which became one of the most controversial and controversial events in history. A depressing figure.”
Mr. Wang really didn't expect that Shen Yu would have such profound and unique insights into the history of the Sui Dynasty. He couldn't help but sigh deeply and sincerely praised: "Xiao Shen, with your profound knowledge and thorough knowledge, After analysis, this thing should be yours!"
After saying that, he turned around, slowly returned to the official hat chair and sat down peacefully, without saying a word, as if he was silently recollecting the grandeur of this period of history in his heart.
He also seemed to be a little unmotivated.
Shen Yu originally wanted to continue bowing to thank Mr. Wang, but he wanted to bow just now but was interrupted by Mr. Wang.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qingzhi patted his shoulder gently, then raised his chin slightly, gesturing for him to come aside to talk.
Shen Yu understood what he was saying and followed Lin Qingzhi to a corner of the living room.
After Lin Qingzhi stood still, he didn't beat around the bush and asked straight to the point: "What are your plans for this Yang Guang's Chihu Button Emperor Seal, Xiao Shen?"
Shen Yu was slightly startled, as if he was a little surprised by this question. After thinking for a while, he said sincerely: "This junior really has no intention of accepting this seal.
"How can I accept such a valuable object just because of Mr. Wang's words and say it is a gift to me? After all, this originally belonged to Mr. Wang, and it should be handled by Mr. Wang due to emotions and reasons. "
After hearing this, Lin Qingzhi slowly shook his head and explained with a slightly serious expression: "Xiao Shen, that's not what I meant. In addition, you may not understand Lao Wang's temper very well.
"Lao Wang usually values his face and reputation the most. Since he has publicly stated that he does not want the imperial seal, he will never change his mind and ask for it again. Even if he is beaten to death, he will not do anything Such a self-defeating thing.
"The reason why I ask you this is because Lao Wang mentioned that this jade seal has evil aura, and it is a relic of Sui Yangzhi, which is somewhat unlucky. I am worried that if you take over, this imperial seal will do something to you. Adverse effects.
"You must know that you are the best and the most outstanding among the young people of our boss's collection association. From now on, you must be the president of the collection association. From my perspective, I don't want anything to happen to you at all."
Shen Yu felt warm in his heart, "President Lin, thank you for your concern. But don't worry, counting from my grandfather, this younger generation is actually from an authentic Taoist sect.
"There are ways to deal with any evil spirit in this world, so it is really nothing to be afraid of.
"Even if this Chihu Button Emperor Seal really contains evil energy, I still have enough ability and confidence to resolve it and bring it to peace. I will never let it cause any harm or trouble to me."
When he said these words, Shen Yu's posture was tall and straight, and his whole body exuded a calm and restrained aura, as if there was a kind of awe-inspiring righteousness derived from Taoism silently supporting him, making people involuntarily believe in his words.
When Lin Qingzhi saw this, he nodded slightly, but there was a look of hesitation on his face.
Shen Yu keenly captured this detail and asked softly: "President Lin, why are you here today?"
Lin Qingzhi grinned slightly, showing his snow-white teeth, and said with a slightly self-deprecating smile: "I came here just to find you."
Shen Yu didn't show any doubts when he heard this, but directly asked the reason, "Just tell me."
Lin Qingzhi sighed, "I just returned home yesterday, and before I could rest for a while, several antique dealers came to knock on the door.

"Initially, I wanted to send them away with a few words, because most of the people who took the initiative to sell antiques door-to-door were just fake goods, and the genuine ones can be said to be genuine.
It's rare.
"Unexpectedly, an ancient painting held by one of them made my eyes light up, and I even couldn't put it down.
"So, I was tempted and bought the painting. However, after buying it, I felt a little uneasy, not sure whether it was authentic or not!
"After thinking about it, I thought of you. Xiao Shen, your attainments and eyesight in antique appraisal have almost caught up with Mr. Shen, so I hope you can help me identify the authenticity of this painting.
value."
"Wait!" At this moment, Gu Zhengyan suddenly interrupted loudly, with a bit of dissatisfaction and eagerness on his face, "I say Lin Qingzhi, don't forget, I specially invited Xiao Shen to appraise antiques for me.
What's the matter with you interfering with me?"
Lin Qingzhi's face darkened, and he pretended to be serious: "Gu, don't even think about it. If Xiao Shen hadn't happened to be here this time, even if you had invited me in an eight-carriage sedan, I might not have come. I can't.
I still remember that last time you took away some unknown ancient paintings from me, I was afraid that you would make me take the paintings without paying for them again."
Gu Zhengyan was choked up by Lin Qingzhi's words of gun and stick. He suddenly lost his temper and said helplessly: "You guy, just because of what happened last time, you just grabbed my pigtails, that's all.
, let Xiao Shen show it to you first."
After saying that, he pretended to be angry and turned around to go to the tea table to pick up the tea cup. However, he began to count silently, one, two, three...
