The pagoda is a kind of Buddhist building with strong religious characteristics. It was created to enshrine holy objects from the day it was born!
Relics, scriptures, Buddha statues...all kinds of precious holy objects can be placed in the pagoda for worship. This religious custom has gradually been accepted by the secular world.
As we all know, the Manchus highly respected Buddhism, especially Tibetan Buddhism, and they also highly respected Confucianism. Emperor Qianlong specially took the hair of his biological mother and built a pagoda to worship her in order to fulfill his filial piety!
This seven-layer red sandalwood pagoda with precious eaves was built by Qianlong for his biological mother. It is not one tower, but a pair!
Everyone quickly opened another wooden box of the same size. After taking it apart, it turned out that it was exactly a pair!
The person on the left couldn't hold back his excitement, "Rose sandalwood! Every inch of red sandalwood is worth an inch of gold! The Qing Palace Construction Office has long received the emperor's decree, and the use of all red sandalwood in the palace must have an imperial decree..."
"This kind of wood is almost extinct in Nanyang. I haven't seen any imported wood in recent years. I heard from the disciples in the palace that many palaces now have damaged red sandalwood cabinets and they are reluctant to use the warehouse to repair them!"
"Good guy, there are two six-and-a-half-foot-tall red sandalwood towers. The craftsmanship is so exquisite...priceless treasures!"
People also made worried voices when they praised, "This thing is really good, it couldn't be better...but...but this is the prayer tower built by Emperor Qianlong for his biological mother! I heard that there is also a hair tower made of gold in the palace." As for offerings, this is all a series..."
"The head of state has taken action on these treasures. I don't think it's possible to return them to Long Live Lord... If the secret is revealed, will the entire imperial court collapse?"
The worries of everyone are really justified. This treasure has a different meaning from other treasures. Although other gold, jewels and jade treasures are valuable, they are only valuable. The head of state hid it secretly, and the court had to pinch its nose to recognize it!
But this tower was a filial pagoda of Emperor Qianlong. If the head of state also kept it secretly, once the court knew about it, it would not be able to control it, and there would definitely be a conflict!
The ghost on the left turned his eyes and whispered, "If you don't tell, I won't tell, and everyone doesn't tell, who will know? Do you expect the French to tell? Their emperor has stepped down..."
"We are just here to identify the treasure. Worry about what you should worry about, and don't worry about what you shouldn't! If the sky falls, do we need to hold it up?"
"How can we get involved in the affairs of the big shots who use guns to push cannons? This time when we come to Europa, we will work hard and bring back more of our ancestors' treasures to save future generations from being scolded. Isn't that enough?"
"To put it bluntly, let's build up more virtue for ourselves and don't care what happens to them? Let's go to work and make a list!"
In the dry cave, the Chinese military officer corps guarded the Chinese national treasure. Thousands of Bedouin warriors were scattered in the mountains. In the cave, six cultural and play masters from the capital were registering.
The news that the lamp was successfully pulled was sent to the Port of Suez one day later. This top-secret news was mixed with ordinary commercial telegrams and flew to Ryukyu and Europe. Xiao Letian, who was repairing in Munich, soon got the good news.
At this moment, Xiao Letian has already waited for the special train arranged for him by Prussia. He is about to set off north to Kassel. He wants to meet his mortal enemy Napoleon III and bring him good news.
"Okay, okay... live up to expectations, live up to expectations, Bedouin's idle move has yielded results so quickly, these desert natives are really tough..."
"Send a telegram to Lantern and ask them to protect these treasures with their lives and wait for the CIA to dispatch ships to transport them...wait...it's too dangerous and we can't let these treasures take risks on the sea..."
"Send a telegram to Zuo Dachaofeng and ask him to arrange the cave and seal up all the treasures... Then they will come directly to Europe, and these treasures must be transported by warships!"
Xiao Letian will never let so many top Chinese national treasures encounter mishaps. These days, the high seas are full of bandits, and even the navies of many European countries are also part-time bandits.
For example, a British warship encountered a merchant ship from a certain country on the vast sea. It became really greedy, killed all the people on the ship, took away all the goods, and then blew up and sank the merchant ship... Can such a tragedy be solved?
There are no satellites in space, and there are no witnesses visible on the surface of the sea. Sharks and currents in the sea can easily destroy the scene... Such undetectable tragedies, no one knows how many of them will happen every year!
Not to mention traditional maritime powers like the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, even emerging forces like the Chinese would not be able to succeed if they were determined to rob a merchant ship!
Absolutely not taking such a risk, Xiao Letian decided to temporarily seal these treasures and wait until he returns home with the battleship before transporting them back!
There are battleships, politicians, envoys... Fleet sailing that truly attracts global attention is always safe!
Wang Ju nodded and turned around to arrange for people to do it. At this time, Xiao Lecai took a deep breath and kissed Princess Sissi goodbye. Prince Liutpod, who was seeing her off in the distance, looked at her blankly as if she was blind. Pretend you didn't see anything.
Xiao Letian has thoroughly understood the chaos in the relationship between men and women in European courts. Both men and women are proud to be lovers!
Don't think that they are all doing it secretly, they are doing it blatantly and they are proud of it!
Xiao Letian once asked Princess Sissi if her husband Joseph had a lover. Princess Sissi's answer made Xiao Letian, a man who had traveled through time in the 21st century, blush a little.
Franz Joseph I, the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, not only had multiple lovers, but the most favored one among them was introduced to him by Princess Sissi!
The princess said it very easily. Anyway, I am obsessed with mountains and rivers and am willing to travel in this world. If I am not with my husband all year round, his desires must be solved!
Rather than letting him search randomly to find someone who is a threat to me, I might as well go find someone who is not a threat myself!
Now that he has a woman by his side, I can go sightseeing freely... Can I go to Asia next year? Let me see how beautiful your world is!
Xiao Letian was completely defeated. He had a deep understanding of the corruption of European court life... After that heart-to-heart talk, Xiao Letian stopped hiding things. Even the court of Ludwig II yesterday Xiao Letian took Princess Sissi to the banquet.
The two were holding hands, as if they were a pair of intimate lovers, and no one in the Kingdom of Bavaria, from the king to the important ministers, dared to raise an opinion!
Today, Xiao Letian's reputation is at its peak in Europe. Before, many people thought that Xiao Letian's participation in the Franco-Prussian War was purely a matter of taking advantage of the situation.
But after several bloody battles, military experts all over Europe were dumbfounded. The combat effectiveness of Chinese officers and soldiers and their new strategies and tactics completely convinced all military experts. Xiao Letian was like an emerging Asian god of war!
When he passed through Bavaria this time, Ludwig II almost treated him to the highest standards!
