At the same time, Yang Min himself also reached the position of Shangshu Zuopushe, and was also the minister of Gu Ming. His status in the Northern Dynasties at that time was much higher than Xu Ling's status in Nanchen now. It is a pity that Yang Min was loyal to the Young Emperor.
Gao Yin was killed when he failed in his plan to eradicate Gao Yan, the king of Changshan who was trying to rebel. After his death, he was given a posthumous gift to Sikong.
Although Yang Min died in the end, he was still one of the most capable and virtuous ministers in the Northern Dynasty. He was also a thorn in the flesh of the Southern Dynasty. Even Gao Yan respected this political opponent very much and would not kill him even if he was not allowed to do so.
Yang Min regretted it again and again, which shows Yang Min's ambition, character, and ability.
The Southern and Northern Dynasties spanned three hundred years. Whether it was the Southern Dynasties or the Northern Dynasties, in the changing times and changing times, heroes emerged in large numbers and lords were everywhere. However, ministers like Yang Min who single-handedly supported a family and a dynasty could not
It's very few.
At least now, no one in Nanchen, including Xu Ling, has the confidence to compare with Yang Min. Even if he is a rival and enemy, he is worthy of respect.
Therefore, everyone, including Shen Jungao, was somewhat excited when they saw Yang Min's seal. If the seal was authentic, it would mean that the painting was more authentic - it could catch Yang Min's discernment.
The possibility of it being a fake is even lower. Secondly, although Yang Min died, the Hongnong Yang family is still there, so not many of his own collections have been handed down to the world. This painting is stamped with Yang Min's seal.
It makes this painting have a value beyond its own value.
"This seal should be authentic," Shen Jun said in a deep voice. "Yang Zunyan's seal was specially used for collection. He did not use the character 'Zunyan', but used the small character 'King of Qin'. At the same time, the writing method of the characters on this seal is different from the character 'Qin'."
There are two hidden edges in one stroke and one stroke to indicate that the 'King of Qin' is not the real 'King of Qin'. This is Yang Min's way of avoiding suspicion. The writing is skillful and smooth. Only those who are accustomed to this writing method can write it easily."
"Mr. Shen is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable that I admire him." The shopkeeper of Jubaozhai hurriedly held his hand.
Shen Jungao nodded slightly, acknowledging the compliment. At the same time, he pointed at the scroll and said: "I have seen this scroll. It should have been left by the court painter of the Han Dynasty. It also has Yang Zunyen's seal on it. Even if I saw it and took it away,
Even if you miss him, Yang Zunyan will not miss you."
Compared with his previous words, Shen Jungao's words are more striking, and he has come to a conclusion: "I just dare to ask Jubaozhai, how did this scroll end up in Liang County? Yang Zunyan was a Han from the Northern Dynasties, and served as an official in the Northern Dynasties barbarians all his life. He collected it
The paintings should mainly remain in Hongnong..."
The shopkeeper had obviously expected that Shen Jungao would ask such a question: "They were also curious about this at the time. Only then did they know that although the barbarians of the Northern Dynasty pardoned Yang Min's family, the women and children in the family were still afraid that the barbarians of the Northern Dynasty would turn against them and take revenge. After all, Hongnong
The Yang family had learned from the previous Erzhurong Rebellion, so the women and children at home packed up their belongings, selected loyal servants, and prepared to cross south."
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that there was such an unknown thing.
But it makes sense to think about it. There was basically no normal emperor in the entire Northern Dynasty under the rule of the Gao family of the Northern Qi Dynasty. If we really want to count, maybe Gao Yan, who killed Yang Min, was already the Ming Jun Holy Lord. It is a pity that Gao Yan has been in power for a long time.
He passed away at the age of 18.
Therefore, the beastly nature of the emperor and the chaos and rapidity of the throne change made it understandable that the Yang family had no confidence in Gao Yan, the former sinner and Gao Yan's accomplice in usurping the throne, and his successor Gao Zhan.
For the Yang family, taking the opportunity to go south while the court relaxed its vigilance and murderous intentions towards them at that time should be considered the best choice. After all, the Yang family of Hongnong could not withstand the second disaster of annihilation. For a family,
If the foundation is gone, you can still rely on generations of people to accumulate it, but if there are no descendants, it is really over.
Shen Jungao frowned: "It has been twenty years since Yang Min was killed."
"Yes," the shopkeeper also lamented, "but there was a war going south at that time, and the originally large team was separated because of this. Those who wanted to sell the paintings were the servants who were responsible for transporting the luggage at the back.
They lost contact with the women and children who were walking in front of them, and finally escaped with difficulty, settled in Liang County, and started a small business. Over the years, their family fortunes had declined, so they had to take out this scroll and many furniture in the house in order to sell it."
"That's it..." Shen Jungao almost subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the scroll. After all, this scroll was not only a scroll carrying the memory of the Han Dynasty court, but also witnessed a family or a family.
The rise and fall have also witnessed the joys and sorrows of this era.
However, when he was about to touch the scroll, Shen Jungao stopped and just sighed: "I wonder where those women and children have gone. Yang Min is a generation of capable ministers. I am really curious about what kind of characters their descendants will grow into."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jungao shook his head in frustration.
In these troubled times, a few women and children were in the chaos of war. They didn't even have servants to protect them, and they didn't have much gold and silver on them. How could they go? Perhaps it was also for this reason that the Northern Dynasty did not do much to stop these women and children -
—They wanted to seek their own death, so why didn’t the then-emperor Gao Yan do it?
I'm afraid that even if Yang Min's child was really brought out, it would have been lost in the chaos of war. In the past twenty years, I'm afraid it has been turned into a handful of loess.
Thinking of this, Shen Jungao couldn't help but laugh at himself. When did he become so compassionate? Now he turned his attention to this painting again:
"Since Jubaozhai said he didn't want to keep this painting privately, he was planning to sell it to someone else. I wonder how much it would cost to buy it for?"
The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up. He had tried so hard to explain the whole story before, but he just wanted the person in front of him and all the dignitaries in the darkness to be moved. Now that Shen Jungao spoke like this, the shopkeeper was unhurried.
said:
"Mr. Shen is a famous literary figure in the world. How much does Mr. Shen think this scroll should be worth?"
Raising his eyebrows, Shen Jungao didn't expect that he would ask such a question, so he considered it and said, "In terms of value alone, it should be a priceless treasure."
The shopkeeper applauded: "What a priceless treasure! It is precisely because this is a priceless treasure that Jubaozhai does not dare to advise on its valuation. Moreover, when viewing this painting, there must be many people present who are moved. If not, I would like to invite you all."
Those who like this scroll will bid their own bids, and the one with the highest final bid will be the owner of the scroll. What do you think?"
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, there were echoes in the darkness.
And Li Xingchen couldn't help but frown slightly. Even if these sounds were not "entrusted" by Jubaozhai, the way of selling things in front of him still made Li Xingchen sigh. Jubaozhai is still very smart.
