Chapter Eleven: "The Secret Record of Xuanhe"

"Look." Dong Tianyue opened a blank space at the beginning of the book, with a seal of Sanxitang printed on it. "Sanxitang is Qianlong's study, and the seal of Sanxitang is stamped with it, indicating that the book was printed by the Qing Dynasty's Office of Internal Affairs."

Seeing that Dong Tianyue was right, Dong Qingshan smiled with a gratitude and nodded at the same time with Gao Yide at the table. It was not in vain that he had been careful in Dong Tianyue for many years.

Gao Lingfeng looked admiring, staring at the ancient book on the table with his eyes blankly. "Uncle Master is knowledgeable!" Gao Lingfeng praised, gently moved the book on the table half an inch down from the table, and continued to ask: "But I only heard of "Xuanhe Painting Book", but I have never heard of "Xuanhe Secret Record"?"

"Good question!" Dong Tianyue looked at Gao Lingfeng's tiger eyes with a very appreciative look and said with a smile: "The "Xuanhe Secret Record" was lost, so not many people know it. During the reign of Emperor Qinzong of Song, the Jin soldiers went south and the city of Bianjing was destroyed. In the second year of Jingkang, the Jin emperors general Hui and Qin, together with concubines, royal families, thousands of officials, as well as musicians in the workshop, craftsmen, rituals, ceremonial guards, crowns and uniforms, ritual instruments, treasures and antiques, royal books, maps of the world prefectures, etc., and escorted the north to the north. The public and private savings in Bianjing were captured and plundered, and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, which was known in history as the "Jingkang Incident". The six volumes of the "Xuanhe Secret Record" were scattered and lost at this time."

"What? This is actually the case? This emperor is so cowardly!" Gao Lingfeng said in surprise.

"Yes, Mr. Jin Yong's inspiration for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" came from the "Jingkang Incident", so the male protagonist was named Guo Jing, and the villain number one was named Yang Kang, and the connection was "Jingkang". If you have read the original version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", you will know that at that time, the three forces in Song, Jin and Mongolia fought each other, and the war was raging. It was normal for many antiques and secret books to be lost in the war. Not only "Xuanhe Secret Record", but even the "Wu Mu Suicide" of Prince Yue Feiyue was missing."

"Oh, so that's it! It's just that the uncle of the junior teacher just said that there are six volumes in total?" Gao Lingfeng asked.

"Yes." Dong Tianyue nodded.

"It's really six volumes in total? Which six volumes are there?" Gao Lingfeng continued to ask.

"Haha, when it comes to this, I have to mention Song Huizong." Dong Tianyue smiled and said, "Let's sit down and talk in detail. Grandpa's legs are not very good, so it's not advisable to sit for a long time."

As he said that, Dong Tianyue helped Dong Qingshan sit on the soft sofa beside him. Gao Yide praised the filial child and sat on the other two sofas with Gao Lingfeng.

After sitting on the sofa, several people gathered in a circle. Gao Lingfeng handed cigarettes to everyone. After lighting the cigarette, he took a sip and said to Dong Tianyue sitting opposite him: "Song Huizong? Is it the queen, the palace beauty, Song Huizong, who is still lingering in brothels? I heard that he had a scandal with the peerless prostitute Li Shishi?"

Gao Yide glared at his son, blushed slightly and said, "Don't mention Li Shishi to me, and don't mention scandals! When talking about Song Huizong, you remember Li Shishi. Don't you remember the thin gold body? What kind of taste?"

"Yes, my father taught me that my son is superficial!" Gao Lingfeng immediately shut up. He was the eldest brother outside, but he respected his father very much at home. Gao Lingfeng was generous by nature, and recently had an affair with a first-line beauty star, which made Gao Yide very angry. The beautiful star debuted as a porn star. Gao Yide was very disgusted and felt that she was not much different from the ancient geisha Li Shishi, so he opposed his son's contact with that woman.

"Haha, my junior brother continues, I will make you laugh." Gao Yide looked at the master and his junior brother in shame and said.

"Haha, it's okay." Seeing Gao Lingfeng's mighty fear of Gao Yide, Dong Tianyue felt very interesting. He was just a little curious about why Gao Yide suddenly got angry.

"Well, Ling Feng was right just now. Song Huizong was indeed a lustful emperor, but since ancient times, there were a few emperors who were not lustful? If they were not lustful, why did they still have the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards?

Song Huizong was indeed not a good emperor, but he was definitely a competent artist emperor. Huizong loved art and was famous among all the emperors in China. Not only did he create a thin gold body that was unique in the world, but he was also good at poetry, calligraphy, painting and seals." Dong Tianyue said with a thumbs up.

Hearing that Dong Tianyue was quite appreciating Song Huizong, Gao Lingfeng felt that he had found a soulmate, and his favor for Dong Tianyue increased a little. He quickly smiled at his father and said, "That's right, don't you think so too! Old man, you are just an old mind."

"Shut up." Gao Yide glanced at his son, then looked at Dong Tianyue and said, "Hehe, the younger brother's words are of course right. It is said that Song Huizong is very versatile, calligraphy, painting, antiques, stone seals, architecture, religion, and beauties. I wonder what the younger brother thinks?"

Dong Tianyue drank a sip of tea and felt that his senior brother was taking the exam for his homework. He smiled and said, "What the senior brother said is that Huizong was an artistic talent! This also laid the foundation for the compilation of "Xuanhe Secret Records". When Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty reigned, he mentioned the status of a painter to the highest position in Chinese history and established the Hanlin Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, that is, the court painting academy at that time. He used painting as an examination method for the imperial examination and promotion.

He also collected antiques and calligraphy and paintings, expanded the Hanlin Academy of Paintings, and asked civil officials to edit the "Xuanhe Calligraphy Book" and "Xuanhe Painting Book", and also compiled the epigraphy and stone work "Xuanhe Bo Gu Tu", which recorded 839 bronze ware collected by the royal family in the Xuanhe Hall in the Song Dynasty. These three books are the first three volumes of "Xuanhe Secret Record". Because they have many passed down, they are famous in the art world and the antique industry."

Gao Yide gave a thumbs up, "You remember the number 839 so clearly, it's rare!" Dong Qingshan waved his hand and said, "What's the matter? From childhood to adulthood, Yue'er's secret books involved in antiques, celebrities' eras, antique weight, size and other numbers are more than tens of millions? How can we convince people if we are not rigorous in our career?"

"What the master said is." Gao Yidedao.

Gao Lingfeng also suddenly realized that he had realized the truth. He seemed to have vaguely heard from his father that he could not remember it. However, Dong Tianyue said that "Xuanhe Secret Record" has a total of six volumes, and there are three volumes?

"Uncle Master, what's going on in the last three volumes?" Gao Lingfeng intended to pretend to be shameless in front of his father to make him happy. Who told him to be reluctant to leave the female star? After coaxing the old man, he can go and hang out with the female star.

Dong Tianyue looked at his grandfather and senior brother, and they were all waiting for his answer. Dong Tianyue continued: "The Book of Xuanhe Calligraphy talks about calligraphy, the Book of Xuanhe Paintings talks about painting, and the Book of Xuanhe Bo Gu Tu talks about bronze ware. These three books show that Song Huizong's artistic cultivation was so high. However, don't forget that Song Huizong is also good at antiques, and he also collects everyone! But antiques not only include calligraphy, painting and bronze ware, but also include other categories.

Gao Qiu, one of the four treacherous ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty, was a man who was good at flattering and flattering. In order to match the taste, he made suggestions to Cai Jing. Since the emperor spent a lot of manpower and financial resources every year to transport the "Flower and Stone Gang", why not compile a book on seals and flowers and birds to dedicate it to the emperor? Cai Jing thought it was wonderful.

What is the "Flower Stone Gang"? It is a special transportation transportation specially transported to meet the emperor's preferences. During the Northern Song Dynasty Huizong, "Gang" means a transportation team, often with ten ships called "Gang". This matter was mentioned in the episode "Smart Birthday Gang" in "Water Margin".

Cai Jing is not a simple person! He was originally a master of the Four Schools of Song Dynasty, and was famous for his calligraphy and painting, and his seals were not inferior to Huang Tingjian, and his calligraphy skills were not even worse than Su Shi. However, his reputation was not very good, so the title of the Four Schools of Song Dynasty was snatched away by Cai Xiang.

This person took the lead in editing the book, so it was naturally smooth sailing.

Sure enough, Cai Jing was very powerful, so he quickly formed a team and began to compile the "Xuanhe Extinguishing Stone Creation". Halfway through the compilation of the book, he found an opportunity to ask Song Huizong to review it. Huizong read it and immediately approved the matter, and personally participated in the supervision until the completion of the "Xuanhe Extinguishing Stone Creation".

This story and historical materials are not recorded. Gao Lingfeng was fascinated by it. Even Gao Yide heard it for the first time. He sighed that there are so many secret books in the Dong family.

"Uncle Master" said Gao Lingfeng.

"Where, these are all trivial knowledge. Hey, the master is here!" Dong Tianyue's eyes turned to the door.
