I called the princess and learned that the girl was having fun, so I gave a few instructions and hung up the phone, and then I immersed myself in the storage space.

The seven-piece large iron boxes were neatly placed in the space, which made Yang Jing feel inexplicably happy.

Since I came to the Philippines more than 20 days ago, I have traveled to eight places. As a result, except for finding less than two tons of gold and two boxes of gems at the second and fourth places, I have no other gains at all. Although there are a large number of treasures buried underground in the Catholic church in San Fernando, hasn't that been dug out yet?

The seven-mouth iron box in front of me can be said to be the first big gain of this trip to the Philippines, but I don’t know what good things are inside.

If there were no good things, Yang Jing would be very unhappy. This trip to the Philippines not only did not have any big gains, but also encountered earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and super typhoons, which almost left his life here. If there were no good gains this time, Yang Jing thought that God was so sorry for his diligent self...

Rubbing his hands, Yang Jing opened the first box with consciousness. As a result, it was not the imagined gold or other precious metals, but a thick layer of tart cloth wrapped something. This layer of tart cloth also made Yang Jing happy.

Obviously, this thick layer of tart cloth must be wrapped in something good, otherwise the Japanese would not have been so careful back then.

Not bad, the tart cloth is stored in the iron box quite well, at least no damage was found.

After gently uncovering the oil cloth, the things inside the oil cloth immediately made Yang Jing's eyes straight.

There are more than ten gilded Buddha statues with exquisite workmanship, about 40 centimeters high and different shapes in the box, or simply these Buddha statues are pure gold Buddha statues.

Yang Jing used his consciousness to take out these ten Buddha statues out of space. Sure enough, this heavy feeling can prove that these ten Buddha statues were not gilded, but were made of real pure gold.

These Buddha statues include Buddha statues, Bodhisattva statues, and more are Guanyin statues, with different shapes. However, the shapes of these Buddha statues Yang Jing seemed to be somewhat different from those in Chinese history, so he used the identification skills without hesitation, and the answer given actually confirmed Yang Jing's guess.

These Buddha statues are all pure gold bronze statues from the Angkor Dynasty, and their production history ranged from 1190 to 1432 AD. Judging from the production years of these Buddha statues, it also proves that that era was the beginning and heyday of the Angkor Dynasty's belief in Buddhism.

You should know that in the early Angkor dynasty, most of the Angkor people believed in Shiva, but when Suliyavarman II was reigned, that is, in the early twelfth century, this great king converted to Vishnu and during his reign of the Angkor dynasty, he replaced the original Shiva statue in the temple with the statue of Vishnu.

However, thirty years after the death of Suliyavarman II, another greater king of the Angkor Dynasty, Jayavarman VII, succeeded to the throne.

During the reign of the great king of the Angkor Dynasty, the Angkor Dynasty pushed the Angkor Dynasty to its heyday and became the most prestigious ancient monarch in Cambodia. However, this king believed in Buddhism and regarded Guanyin as the protector of the Khmer people. He believed that he could guide people to rebirth in the Pure Land of Bliss and build statues of Guanyin on all sides everywhere in the country. Most of these Guanyin statues had half-open eyes, lower eyes, and a calm and mysterious smile on their mouths, and were called "Khmer smile". During this period, Buddhist temples such as Prasha Prasak, Tarong, Pagan, and Barong were built, showing the unique colors of Angkor Buddhism.

Obviously, these Buddha statues were robbed from that country when the Japanese occupied the Khmer. These Buddha statues that the Japanese regarded as treasures were naturally the best among them.

These pure gold statues of Guanyin are indeed treasures. If you take out one, they can be called Khmer national treasure-level existence. Even in China, these pure gold statues and Guanyin statues are of great value.

And so many national treasure-level Buddha statues and Guanyin statues are enough to support an exhibition hall!

After Yang Jing admired these precious pure gold Buddha statues one by one, he took them back into the space again and began to focus on the lower floor of the box.

Most of these pure gold Buddha statues and Guanyin statues are less than half a meter tall, so they are placed in two layers in this one meter square box, and there is also a partition in the middle of the box.

After pulling out the partition, there were still more than ten Buddha statues and Guanyin statues under the partition, as well as some other Buddha statues with strange shapes. Yang Jing identified that the Buddha statues with strange shapes were the pure gold bodies of Lord Shiva and Vishnu.

This large iron box is full of pure gold Buddha statues of different shapes. The lightest one is about 40 kilograms. These twenty Buddha statues weigh nearly one ton! Even if they are pure gold Buddha statues of the Angkor Dynasty, these Buddha statues have a history of at least seven hundred years, and the earlier ones have a history of more than nine hundred years, let alone such exquisite shapes. Therefore, the value of this box of pure gold Buddha statues far exceeds that of the same weight of gold, and the real value is difficult to estimate!

Good stuff! What a good stuff!

Yang Jing was very satisfied with this good start. Just this box of Buddha statues would be worth running around so many places in the Philippines.

After putting these pure gold Buddha statues in the space one by one, Yang Jing opened the second iron box with anticipation.

After opening it, there was still a thick layer of oil cloth in the second iron box. After removing the oil cloth, there was a layer of silk inside. However, because the iron box outside and the oil cloth were protected, this layer of silk was well protected. The most important thing is that the color of this layer of silk was actually bright yellow!

This discovery made Yang Jing even more excited, and then carefully uncovered the silk layer, and the first thing that caught his eye shocked Yang Jing.

This turned out to be an imperial edict, and it was also an imperial edict from Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

The imperial edict begins with eight big words "Emperor Chengtian, the imperial edict says", followed by dense content, and finally the emperor's seal and signature. After Yang Jing read it, he understood what the imperial edict meant.

It turned out that in the 25th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, six years before Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the Angkor Dynasty sent envoys to meet the famous Hongwu Emperor and presented many rare treasures. Emperor Hongwu was very happy and rewarded the Angkor Dynasty envoys.

This situation was in ancient China, especially in the prosperous dynasties in the early Ming Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty, many vassal states would come to pay tribute to China, and many countries around China were vassal states of the Chinese dynasty.

It is said that the Ming Dynasty was the most upright dynasty since Qin Shihuang unified China, and this is beyond doubt. In detail, the twenty dynasties in China's history, except for the ancient Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, whether it was the Qin Dynasty that unified the world, the Han Dynasty that "those who dared to offend our great Han will be punished even if they were far away", or the Tang Dynasty that conquered the "Tian Khan", and the Song Dynasty that was rich in the world, their methods of obtaining dynasties were not considered authentic.

Although Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, it can only be considered an internal struggle; Liu Bang's Han Dynasty was the same; as for Li Tang, it was almost the same; and Zhao Kuangyin simply came up with a "yellow robe", and the means of the court could not be mentioned.

Since Qin Shihuang, the Ming Dynasty has gained the world by "expelling the Tartars and restoring our Han Dynasty". Although Zhu Yuanzhang was not well-known and looked more distinctive than Guo Degang, it has to be said that this Hongwu Emperor was indeed an amazing emperor!

The Emperor Hongwu and the power of thunder brought disaster to the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years to drive out the land of China and established the Ming Dynasty, making the prestige of the Han people unrealized. Therefore, many small countries around the Ming Dynasty consciously surrendered, and the Angkor Dynasty was no exception.

The Angkor Dynasty, which was thousands of miles away, came to pay tribute. As an emperor of a generation, Emperor Hongwu would naturally not be stingy with rewards. Therefore, an imperial edict rewarded many treasures of the Angkor dynasty envoys. This imperial edict must have been regarded as a holy treasure by the king of the Angkor dynasty at that time, and it was preserved in one piece. Unfortunately, it was brought to the Japanese in one pot.

The value of this imperial edict is difficult to estimate. So far, two imperial edicts from the Ming Dynasty have been discovered all over the world. One was issued by Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty to Guo Shixian, the father of Guo Shixian, the then head of the Yunnan Qingli Department of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, 568 years ago. This imperial edict is also the only imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty discovered in China.

As for the other one, it was discovered from a Chinese collector in the United States. This Chinese collector has an imperial edict written by Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, and its value is difficult to estimate.

But whether it is Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty or Zhu Houzhao, they are all the grandchildren of Zhu Yuanzhang. How can the imperial edicts issued by these grandchildren and even the grandchildren of Hui grandchildren be compared with the imperial edicts issued by Zhu Yuanzhang, a real ancestor?

Moreover, whether it is the imperial edict issued by Emperor Yingzong of Ming or the imperial edict issued by Emperor Zhengde, they are all "decrees". However, the imperial edict issued by Zhu Yuanzhang is a serious "decrees". The first two are far inferior to the latter in terms of standards!

Since Qin Shihuang dominated the world and joined the six kingdoms, he was no longer satisfied with the title of king. So he named himself the emperor, called himself "I", ordered it as a commander, and ordered it as an edict. Therefore, "edict" was first used by Qin Shihuang.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and gradually established a complete set of emperor systems. The two words "Zhuo" were first used in the imperial documents of the Han Dynasty. They have been used by emperors of all dynasties since then. However, the words "Fengtian Chengyun" had never appeared in history before the Ming Dynasty.

The earliest inventor of the name "Fengtian" was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, the words "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor" were included in the imperial edicts of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is "Edict" or "Character" or "Character" afterwards, they all represent different standards of imperial edicts.

The imperial edict uses different words based on the specific content, mainly three types: "edict says, "rule says, "rule says, "rule says, "rule says".

The "Edict" means to inform the world that all major political affairs must be informed to the people of the world, and the "Emperor Chengyun in Heaven" is used.

"Character" is used by the emperor when he expresses the emperor's grace and declares all officials. Whenever the emperor's grace is expressed in the imperial edict, it starts with "relying on the heavens and carrying on the emperor, and conducting on the word ". "Character" is only for the purpose of declaring the use of all officials, and is not issued to ordinary people."

The imperial edict said, "It means warning. When the emperor promoted officials to apology and impetuousness, he warned officials to be cautious, continue to work hard, and not be complacent and arrogant, rely on favoritism.

In other words, the "edict" is the true imperial edict to the world; the "edict" is a little short, just a notice in the officialdom; and the "edict" is even worse, just a matter of issuance to a certain official.

This imperial edict uses the "expression". Although the Angkor Dynasty is only a vassal state, it is a major event for the country to pay tribute. The emperor must order the world so that the people of the world can know the mighty achievements of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it is not surprising that Emperor Hongwu issued this "expression" imperial edict!

If Zhu Chongba’s imperial edict was taken out, its value would be incomprehensible!
