The whole house is filled with all kinds of books. It is indeed a common study room in ancient times.
Scholars at that time advocated frugality, imitating the style of the ancients, studying hard in cold windows, drinking clear soup and tea, and many lived in wooden thatched houses like this!!
This room looks very simple from the outside, but it has a very strict wooden structure inside.
Chen Zhi saw that there were many wooden bookshelves with very exquisite workmanship. They could be said to be made by Lu Ban~~
Those wooden shelves are divided into two layers, which can be swung left and right. It is very convenient to store books inside, and it is more exquisite than the current library.
Moreover, those bookshelves are made of high-quality anti-rot wood, and every wood and board has been carefully considered. You can imagine that it took a lot of effort to build this place.
And in terms of value, there are all kinds of books in it, which looks very spectacular!!!
Most of those books are paper editions, but many are in the shape of bamboo slips.
Going further inside, there are scrolls hidden in boxes, one after another, carefully tied with gold and silver threads, which are very precious.
These books filled the entire room, filled with the scent of ancient books.
But this place is very strange. In this dark room, modern lighting equipment has no effect. Only small oil lamps like this can illuminate.
They walked forward with a small oil lamp in their hands...
Perhaps due to his intuition about these ancient books, Chen Zhi smelled a very strong political flavor in these scrolls.
He knew that those carefully packaged scrolls might contain political factors.
He took a few steps forward and found some scrolls held by golden ropes in the deepest part of the bookshelves.
Those scrolls are different from the ones just now. They are basically sealed inside the box and sealed with a piece of crisp white jade on the outside.
If you want to open a scroll, you have to crush a piece of white jade, and you can't restore it afterwards.
This is a very expensive preservation method, which proves that the things inside are not only priceless knowledge, but more importantly, secrets.
Chen Zhi picked up a scroll, crushed the white jade on it, and then opened the scroll inside to look at it.
I saw a very beautiful calligraphy inside. Although it was written in classical Chinese, the things recorded on it were very clear.
This is a record of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It records that a king at that time entrusted his child to an old scholar of the Confucius family.
Quite a bit like taking off the hoops...
The emperor's words in the text were very humble. As a father, he had high expectations for his son.
Judging from this record, this father did many helpless things when he was a king, and also did many absurd behaviors when he was young and frivolous.
He was afraid that his son would know about it, be ashamed of it, and most importantly, that his son would make the same mistake again.
Therefore, he asked the head of the Kong family at that time to teach his son well, uphold Confucianism, govern the world with benevolence and virtue, and be a model for the world.
This paragraph of Tuogu’s words is very impressive...
However, in Chen Zhi's memory, in history, when this king was bedridden in his later years, he was poisoned to death by his son.
In other words, this old king thought too much of his son and forgot that the temptation of authority is far greater than family affection!!
It is estimated that these touching records were not shown to the king's son in the end, but were hidden by the Kong family.
They then briefly searched this room and then started walking to the next house.
The next hut leads to a very narrow wooden bridge corridor.
The wooden bridge was suspended in the air, a bit like the current chain bridge. After so many years, it still has not collapsed.
However, when your feet walk on it, it will make a "crunching~~crunching~~" sound, which always makes people feel worried.
The next hut is slightly smaller than this one, but the difference is that there are no bookshelves here.
There wasn't a single book in the room, just big wooden boxes.
These boxes are very carefully preserved. They are inlaid with gold sheets on the outside and hot tin on the inside. All the gaps are sealed to achieve complete anti-corrosion.
Entering such a place, a strong smell of property rises from everywhere!!
It is impossible to say that you are not interested in these things at all.
At that time, Fat Wei touched a box with his hand and pulled the lock in the middle hard.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly delicate little golden lock turned out to be so strong that Fat Wei didn't even pull it for a few moments.
Finally, Ji Ying went over and pulled it gently. With a "click", the lock immediately shattered into pieces and the box was opened.
After they opened the box, there was a flash of light inside, and then their eyes were filled with golden, precious light.
This box actually contained a pair of dragon robes, clothes, and a jade box.
The dragon robe has pearl tassels on it, which is obviously the style of the Northern Song Dynasty.
After opening the jade box, I discovered that inside was an imperial edict that had been kept for a long time. Under the edict was a personal seal.
Judging from the signature, the author of this imperial edict was actually the author of the Jingkang scandal in the Northern Song Dynasty, a Confucian disciple and a minister of the country at that time.
The Shame of Jingkang is a shameful history that makes everyone angry when talking about it in Chinese history. Even now, thinking about it makes people very angry!!
During the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers marched straight into the Central Plains, captured Yanjing, and crossed the Yellow River.
Seeing that the situation was in danger, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty immediately ceded his throne to Prince Zhao Huan, who became the Qinzong of the Song Dynasty.
In the first month of the first year of Jingkang, Wanyan Zonghan led the Jin army to the east of Bianjing City, forcing the Song Dynasty to withdraw after negotiating peace.
However, this peace negotiation comes at a price...
The Jin people demanded five million taels of gold and fifty million taels of silver coins, and ceded the three towns of Zhongshan, Hejian, and Taiyuan.
Such a large sum of money was an astronomical figure at the time. How could the Northern Song Dynasty pay it all?
Song Qinzong personally went to the Jin army camp to discuss peace, but was detained by the Jin people.
At that time, the Jin people laughed and said, if you don't have money, just use your women to pay off the debt. The higher the status, the higher the value!
The emperor's mother and daughter can be sold at a very high price, followed by princesses and noble women, and folk women can be sold based on their appearance...
This is a very insulting insult!!
However, the royal family of the Song Dynasty at that time made an appalling decision.
He really sent women from the Song Dynasty to pay off debts!!
He recruited a large number of women among the people, and gathered more than 3,000 royal princesses, concubines, and concubines in the palace to go north to the Jin Kingdom and send them to the Jin people for slavery.
One can imagine what happened to those women later.
Every flower-like golden branch and jade leaf, every noble princess and princess, have all become the playthings of the golden man.
Even the empress dowager and empress of the dynasty were finally sent there.
The famous laundry house is the place where the bloody and shameful transaction took place, filled with the stories of these sad women!!
Later, Yue Fei, the general of the Southern Song Dynasty, mentioned in "Man Jiang Hong": "The shame of Jingkang has not yet been resolved, and the hatred of the ministers, when will it be destroyed!".
It can be seen that the people of Song Dynasty were ashamed, angry and humiliated about this incident...
But now, judging from this secret meeting, it can be seen that this unethical and bad idea at that time was actually agreed upon by a group of ministers who were unwilling to support each other.
This is indeed an indelible shame!
But for the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, it was the only feasible medicine!!!
