Chapter 1535: Crazy Napoleon
Ye Tian held the crown of the Holy Roman Empire with his left hand, holding a soft cloth in his right hand, and carefully wiped the dust off the cross on the crown.
In the next moment, a diamond-shaped white diamond inlaid in the center of the golden cross appeared in front of everyone.
Under the light, that huge, flawless white diamond was crystal clear, dazzling, radiating dazzling light, and it was dazzling!
It was quiet for a while before the live broadcast, and then it was completely boiled.
"Wow! It's a flawless white diamond. It's so big and beautiful, it's crazy!"
"That guy Steven is right. This is definitely a top-notch antique piece of art that is priceless. Not to mention, just this flawless white diamond is worth astronomical figures!"
Just as people exclaimed, Ye Tianqinglang's voice came again, and it instantly silenced all the voices.
"Before introducing this crown of the Holy Roman Empire, I think it is necessary to popularize some knowledge related to it, so that everyone can better appreciate this treasure.
The oldest surviving crown is the golden crown of the Holy Roman Empire. It was made in the tenth century during the time of Otto I or Conrad II and III and is recorded in relevant historical materials.
During the Holy Roman Empire, the golden crown, the imperial sword, the imperial spear and the imperial cross together constituted the symbol of the divine kingship, which was kept in Nuremberg from 1424 to 1796.
Nuremberg is the birthplace of the Frankish Kingdom. These royal treasures can only leave Nuremberg when the new king is crowned. Today, the golden crown is kept in Hofburg, Austria.
Hearing this, everyone should have already understood that the dazzling crown in front of you is not the golden crown of the Holy Roman Empire made in the tenth century, but another crown.
But the origin of this crown is not trivial. It is no less important than the golden crown of the Holy Roman Empire. From the 15th century to the beginning of the 19th century, it was the true symbol of imperial power.
In the early fifteenth century, after the Habsburg family occupied the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, this new crown was made in the style of the golden crown to symbolize the imperial power of the Habsburg family.
Like the gold crown, this crown also adopts the shape of an octahedral prism. The outside is surrounded by eight gold plates. The gold plates are inlaid with gems and pearls of various colors. The number is as high as several hundred!
In addition, the eight gold plates are decorated with many enamel patterns, with different contents. They are all religious stories from the "Old Testament" and "New Testament", symbolizing the power of the monarchy.
There is an arch at the top of the crown, and there is a cross above the arch. It is the cross you see now. It is not only inlaid with diamonds, but also jade and sapphire, etc...."
Next, while introducing the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, Ye Tian gently wiped the dust on the crown with very gentle movements.
With his actions, this crown, which symbolized the imperial power of the Holy Roman Empire and was made by the Habsburg family in the early fifteenth century, gradually revealed its true face and renewed its brilliance!
In front of countless live broadcasts, people listened to Ye Tian's explanation with gusto, staring at the dazzling crown on the live screen, with envy in their eyes.
Martinez had cleaned up the dust on "Napoleon's Into Vienna", turned his head and looked over here, admiring the crown drunkly, his eyes were so hot!
At this time, how much he wanted to take the crown as his own, and then bring it back to the Louvre Museum, display it in the Louvre exhibition hall, let everyone enjoy it!
That is where it should exist most, not sleeping in this dark underground secret room, let alone falling into the hands of that **** Steven!
While speaking, Ye Tian's explanation was drawing to a close.
"... In 1804, Franz II wore this crown in Vienna and declared himself Emperor of Austria, in response to Napoleon's proclaiming emperor and became the first emperor of the Austrian Empire.
It was also Napoleon who powerfully ended the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, and Franz II had to take off the crown of the Holy Roman Empire and become the last emperor in the history of the Holy Roman Empire.
Since then, this dazzling crown of the Holy Roman Empire has completely disappeared from the eyes of the world. In the next two hundred years, it has never appeared again. Who would have imagined that it was hidden here.
I have to say that it is a very lucky thing to be able to discover this crown today. In the next exploration, I believe I can find other things related to it, or literature! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Martinez immediately said:
"Obviously, after Franz II was forced to take off the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, he sent the crown to Paris and became the trophy of Emperor Napoleon.
After Napoleon's defeat, this crown did not appear in the list of items returned to Austria. No one knows where it went. It is only today that the truth is revealed! "
When he said this, Martinez's tone was sour, and his teeth fell straight.
Not only him, but the people watching this live treasure hunt, which one is not sour? Which one is not the envious eyes flushed? Without exception!
When the explanation was over, Ye Tian also wiped the dust off the crown of the Holy Roman Empire.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up this dazzling crown and slowly turned around in front of the high-definition camera he carried with him, showing it completely!
The countless live broadcasts are boiling again, and there are tuts and praises everywhere, one after another, endless!
After the display, Ye Tian reluctantly put the Holy Roman Empire crown back on the solid wood table and placed it in its original position.
Then he admired it for a while before he retracted his gaze and said with a smile:
"Guys, let's continue to explore. I believe that there will be even greater surprises and many valuable top antique artworks waiting for us. Today must be very beautiful!"
After speaking, he stepped out, bypassed the display wall in front, and walked deeper into the secret room.
Martinez and Walker immediately retracted their sights and followed them. Everyone was extremely excited, and their footsteps were brisk, like stepping on a cloud!
At the same time, as far away as Vienna, Austria, many people were staring blood-red eyes, staring at the crown of the Holy Roman Empire on the live screen, and they never looked away for a moment!
"We must take back the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, at any cost, more than two hundred years ago, Napoleon led an army to sack Austria and sack Vienna.
More than two hundred years have passed, and we must never be ransacked by the **** Steven again. This is a national treasure of Austria, and it is time to return to this land. We must not fall into the hands of others! "
"We have already started the action. The ambassador to France and the cultural counsellor rushed to the island of Citizen where the building is located long ago, but they were stopped by the Paris police and could not enter the building.
The ambassador to France then contacted Steven’s bastard’s lawyer and formally made a claim, hoping that Steven’s **** would return the crown of the Holy Roman Empire to Austria.
But the **** Steven was so greedy, he ignored our claims, and let us get ready for real money, talk to him about a deal, and redeem the crown! "
"What a bastard, I hate these **** Yankees, they are so disgusting!"
The furious curse suddenly sounded, revealing endless anger and a bit of helplessness.
Although he didn't witness these things happening in Vienna with his own eyes, all this was in Ye Tian's expectation, and he didn't care!
If you want this crown of the Holy Roman Empire, then you can trade it with real money, otherwise, it doesn’t matter if you are a god, it’s all the same!
In a few steps, Ye Tian and the others had already turned the display wall and came to the back of the wall.
Only then did they really enter the secret room where Napoleon’s treasure was hidden.
The moment they walked into this underground secret room, except for Ye Tian, Walker and Martinez were completely stunned by everything in front of them, and they were stunned in stunned place!
Everyone in front of the live broadcast was the same, each of them stared at the live broadcast with their eyes widened, and their eyes were almost flying out of their eye sockets.
Under the illumination of the two searchlights, the situation in the underground secret room was clearly presented before people's eyes.
This is not so much an underground secret room, as it is an underground palace.
The first thing Ye Tian and the others saw was a dome made of granite, extremely strong and magnificent!
Under the high dome, there is a spacious hall with a considerable area!
In the hall stood seven or eight marble columns with a diameter of about half a meter, firmly supporting the dome and supporting the ancient building in the early Renaissance style on the ground!
Looking at the location of this hall, it is just below the atrium garden of the ancient building on the ground. The pressure on the dome is not too great!
Through the searchlight, you can see that the dome of the hall, the four walls, and the marble pillars used for support are all carved with exquisite patterns and several murals!
Although separated by a certain distance, Ye Tian and Martinez can still see at a glance that those decorative patterns and murals are not only exquisite, but also have a certain artistic value. They are all neoclassical works!
It can be inferred from this that this underground chamber should be built in the early nineteenth century. It is very likely that Napoleon personally ordered the construction, and the specific person in charge was Jacques David.
In addition to the carved patterns and murals, there are many oil paintings hanging on the walls around the hall and on the marble columns. Each oil painting has a glass cover, which is very well protected!
On the floor of the hall, there are many boxes.
The boxes are of different sizes and specifications~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and they are stacked in a very large number. They are piled up like hills, covered with dust and moss!
Needless to say, those boxes must be full of top antique works of art, each of which is of great value, otherwise Napoleon would not hide them here!
But what exactly those antique artworks are, except for Ye Tian, nobody knows at all. Only by opening those boxes one by one, the answer will really be revealed!
"hiss--!"
Martinez and the others finally woke up, and then they took a breath of cold air, and they couldn't believe their eyes.
"Oh my God! How is this possible? How many treasures did Napoleon hide here? It's crazy!"
With Martinez's trembling emotion, everyone on the live broadcast was awakened.
In the next moment, many people jumped up from the sofa like an electric shock and rushed directly to the TV or computer screen, almost crazy! 8)
