639. Precious turquoise

However, the stone properties of turquoise and Burmese jade are different. Even though they are both precious varieties, firstly, they are rare, and secondly, they are rarely mined in blocks, especially green stones that are one meter square like this one.

Turquoise, what kind of luck is this? To be able to get such a big piece with just one cut is like buying a lottery ticket and winning a jackpot worth over 100 million yuan. This is not over yet. Turquoise is also called turquoise, or Turkic jade.

King, only because the emperor and nobles in the previous dynasty were very fond of its dark green color, they gave it the name of a plant outside the customs, turquoise.

Turquoise is also divided into grades. The more common ones are transported from Turkey and cut by craftsmen. Most of them are pale or sky blue, which are real turquoise. The ones with better luck are light blue, which are

It’s top grade. If it’s rarer, it’s green inlaid with blue, which is called Turkey’s two-color magic jade. If you can cut a piece of dark green from a large number of rough stones, it’s a blessing from God. You can do it right now.

Pay tribute to the emperor, this is the real turquoise, it belongs to the Turkic king. Think about it, it must be big, and it must be the quality of the Turkic king. Is this turquoise epitaph rare in the world? It's

Value has far exceeded people's understanding of what money can exchange for.

"It's so fucking extravagant! I didn't expect Hulatun to have this treasure. My dear heroine, quickly show me what is written on this epitaph? Whose fucking royal family is this? It's so big.

What a handiwork! Fortunately, you didn't let Brother Mouse see it. When this kid got excited, he had to hire an excavator to dig it out by the roots and take it away."

Although Meihui is a girl, she has never been fond of these gold, silver and jade articles. She has no concept of the word "luxury" and does not care about it. She told me that the epitaph is very simple. It only tells the name of the owner of the tomb and when he was born.

, when did he die, and who wrote the epitaph... words...

There was obvious surprise in her tone when she saw the inscription on the side of the epitaph.

"What's wrong? Who is this person from? Who mentioned it?"

"Xuan...Xuan Ye! Oh my god! It's the Holy Ancestor Kangxi!" She cried out excitedly.

It’s not her fault. When I heard her say that it was the inscription on the epitaph of Emperor Kangxi, I couldn’t help but feel a little excited. Needless to say, Emperor Kangxi’s calligraphy is so precious, and it has never been written by Emperor Kangxi himself.

What a precedent for setting epitaphs for ministers! How distinguished was this person? Moreover, generally the emperor’s inscription must be stamped with his own name. Kangxi’s name stamp must have read: Royal Treasure of the Holy Ancestor Emperor. But the inscription turned out to be

His real name is Xuan Ye, which shows that the owner of the tomb is of higher seniority than Emperor Kangxi and is also a relative of the emperor.

"Name! Who is the name of the owner of the tomb?" I couldn't wait to ask Meihui.

"Yes...it's Aisin Gioro Dolbo!"

"What? Dolbo?" I repeated to myself, fearing that I heard wrongly.

"Ah, Dorbo was born in the eighth year of Chongde and died in the eleventh year of Kangxi." Meihui translated the remaining Manchu text for me.

Dorbo (1643-1672), Aixinjueluo family, was the fifth son of Duduo. He was first born as Prince Rui after Dorgon. In the seventh year of Shunzhi (1650), Dorgon died. In the spring of the eighth year of Shunzhi (1650), Dorgon passed away and was granted the title of

Prince Rui. The next year, because he was implicated by Dorgon, he was demoted. Later, Emperor Shunzhi ordered Dorbo to return to his clan, and he was granted the title of Dorobele in the 14th year of Shunzhi (1657). He died in the 11th year of Kangxi (1672).
