Zhang Fan nodded slightly: "You are right, these eunuchs who caused chaos in the court were killed in the palace turmoil, and no one would like their things, so it should be difficult to preserve them now!
More importantly, these eunuchs were watching the memorials every day, thinking about how to report the good news to the emperor all the time!
So they should be familiar with pen and ink and have a good understanding of calligraphy!
But look at these fonts. Although they are very domineering, they appear childish where the corners are converged!
This doesn't look like a handwritten memorial from an adult senior official!"
Hearing what Zhang Fan said!
Academician Lin also looked carefully at this handwritten memorial!
Indeed, Academician Lin is also a master of calligraphy and he immediately noticed some clues.
"Mr. Zhang Fan is right. This calligraphy is indeed a little immature. If it were a normal handwriting, it would probably be hard to tell. But this cursive script is the most challenging for a person's calligraphy, so it shows some immature parts."
Academician Lin frowned even more: "But, this has been authenticated by high technology, and it is indeed something that has been passed down for thousands of years. Could it be a fake? This is absolutely impossible!"
Indeed, anything that can enter the museum must have undergone many inspections, and the identification process alone will last for several hours.
There are several expert professors, archaeologists and treasure appraisers who have done several comparisons and collected evidence!
After that, high-tech means will be used to identify and confirm its age, which can be said to be foolproof!
But today, something is missing.
Even Academician Lin has seen this thing, but he didn't see any problems with it. Could it be that Mr. Zhang Fan was mistaken?
In other words, Mr. Zhang Fan was right, but dozens of experts and professors were wrong!
The museum director was under a lot of pressure as the entire process was being live-broadcasted.
He was very anxious because of this: "Mr. Zhang Fan, we are indeed far behind you in your ability to appraise treasures, but this treasure has been examined by dozens of experts and professors! It is absolutely genuine."
"Moreover, this collection was bought at an international auction. The owner of the collection paid a high price of 100 million yuan, and it was not donated to the museum until a few years ago."
"It can be said that there should be nothing wrong with this thing. I don't know how many people have seen it. So Mr. Zhang Fan, it is not right to judge that this thing is fake just because the calligraphy is too immature."
Zhang Fan: "I just made some inferences, but after hearing what you said, I feel that this thing is even more fake."
"Because as far as I know, the dynasty where this item came from should be the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was a time of turmoil in the imperial palace!"
"After several years, when the young emperor came to power, the eunuchs trusted by Emperor Jing caused chaos in the palace and killed General He Jin, which led to Dong Zhuo being killed during this period!
Then, everything they have will most likely be wiped out by the angry princes!
At such a critical juncture, think about it, they should report to the emperor every day, not for their own interests, but for the sake of world peace. Isn't this a bit wrong?"
In my opinion, it is very likely that someone imitated the notes of these eunuchs and copied some memorials submitted to Emperor Jing in order to cover up the truth. "
As soon as Zhang Fan said this, a picture appeared in everyone's mind!
The Ten Eunuchs at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty disrupted the imperial order, and every report they made to the emperor was an informant on the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty.
At this critical juncture, a memorial proclaiming peace and prosperity for the whole country suddenly popped up, which did seem a bit out of place.
More importantly, these eunuchs were killed after a period of time!
The young emperor was also replaced by Dong Zhuo, and most of the previous memorials would be destroyed.
In this case, the fact that this memorial has been preserved until now makes people feel that something is wrong.
Zhang Fan: "I speculate that someone deliberately used the contents of this memorial to cover up the true meaning of this memorial! It is very likely that there is something else hidden in this letter!"
Zhang Fan pointed at the original painting!
"If the curator believes me, please open the display cabinet and take out the painting. I have a way to make this original painting appear again in the world!"
Academician Lin did not hesitate at all!
He has great trust in Zhang Fan!
So he looked directly at the curator!
"Director Wang, this matter is extremely important and concerns the reputation of our museum. What do you think about it?"
Master Wang frowned, he is a responsible person.
"Mr. Zhang Fan, you are just making an inference. I just hope you can give me an accurate answer. Let's just talk about this calligraphy now. Is it a fake or was it forged by someone?"
Zhang Fan did not hesitate at all: "It is indeed a forgery, not the authentic one that is often seen!"
Upon hearing this!
Pavilion Master Wang sighed deeply. He never expected that he would be pecked in the eye by a goose after hunting geese all day!
He was very embarrassed when this matter became known.
But now that the problem has arisen, the priority should be to solve it. Reputation is never given by others, but earned through one's own efforts.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since Mr. Zhang Fan is so sure, we will immediately have someone take the item out for re-examination. I hope Mr. Zhang Fan will not let us down."
Zhang Fan smiled when he heard that!
This is a letter for help written by a dignified emperor to the princes, and it is the extremely famous Yidaizhao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty!
At that time, whoever had the emperor's secret edict could use it as capital to recruit soldiers and call on the princes to come to the capital to serve the king!
That is a merit that can be immediately conferred the title of Marquis!
Therefore, many people wanted to get this Secret Decree at that time. After Cao Cao got the Secret Decree, he started recruiting soldiers and horses and called on the princes to fight against Dong.
If there had not been the secret decree as a prerequisite, Cao Cao would have been immediately suppressed by the local governor, or even the princes, when he tried to recruit soldiers!
After all, the Xiahou family was considered a large clan at that time!
They are being watched by local power holders at all times!
If they were to recruit troops and horses right under the noses of these rulers, they might even go to the capital to support the king with great fanfare!
In the absence of sufficient evidence, it is possible to characterize it as treason. In this way, Cao Cao would be accused of treason and would no longer be one of the eighteen princes.
Therefore, the value of the little emperor's secret decree can be regarded in a certain way as a trigger for the chaos of the Three Kingdoms!
Compared to Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital, he can better represent the time when the Three Kingdoms era began!
Therefore, the value of this thing is extraordinary!
Once it appears, it is estimated that it will cause a sensation, and the historical records of the turbulent Three Kingdoms period will become facts because of this cultural relic.
