One day in 1982, in a peasant family surnamed Li in Soluntun, Solun Town, Ulanhot City, the elderly man, Lao Li, was nearing the end of his life.
Mysterious heirlooms
Before old Li died, he took out a golden metal medal from the cellar of his home and gave it to his son Li Xiangong, asking him to pass on this brand as an heirloom.
Li Xiangong was very surprised, and he had lived with his parents day and night for decades, but he had never known that there was such a thing in the family.
It turned out that thirty years ago, when the old Li couple was working, they accidentally found a yellowish metal sign.
There is also an indistinguishable ancient script on this plate, which is suspected to be Mongolian.
Old Mr. and Mrs. Li couldn't understand it, so they invited the most respected old intellectuals in the village to come.
But the old man could not see the origin of the sign, but he recalled that there was a similar text on a portrait of Genghis Khan that had been treasured at home for many years.
The old man speculated that the metal plate was most likely Genghis Khan's personal belongings.
If this were the case, the metal medal they were holding would be a priceless treasure that could be exchanged for a lot of money.
So the old Li couple hid this sign in the cellar of the family, and kept it all the time, no one told them, and when someone asked, they said they gave it away, and even their own son didn't know.
Thirty years have passed, and Old Li has also moved from his prime to the end of his life.
This sign, which had been quietly in the dark and damp cellar for thirty years, was still golden and shiny, without a trace of rust.
However, not long after inheriting this metal plate, Li Xiangong, the son of old Li, owed a large debt because of the failure of business.
Desperate, Li Xiangong had no way, so he remembered this metal plate handed down by his father and wondered if he could sell it to pay off his debts.
After all, this brand has not rusted for decades, and it is likely to be a valuable gold medal.
Almost melted for sale
Li Xiangong first went to the bank, and after identification, determined that this was indeed a gold medal with a gold content of 58.44% and the rest of the ingredients were silver.
Two collectors saw Li Xiangong's gold medal.
Although I couldn't understand the weird text on it, I knew that this thing must be extraordinary, so I wanted to buy it for 12,000 yuan.
But later, the owner of a local gold and silver jewelry processing shop was willing to buy the entire gold medal at the market price of gold.
The price was 5,000 yuan higher than the previous 12,000 yuan, and Li Xiangong happily agreed.
He was ready to melt the gold medal and sell it to the shopkeeper.
But this shopkeeper is not authentic, and has moved some hands and feet when doing sample testing, wanting to pit Li to make a contribution and reduce the price.
The owner's hands and feet were recognized by Li Xiangong's friends, so the transaction was cancelled, and the precious gold medal was fortunately saved temporarily.
Holding gold medals in hand, he has repeatedly hit a wall
Back home, Li Xiangong stumbled upon a treasure hunting program on Liaoning Television.
His heart moved, and he felt that this gold medal might be much more precious than he thought.
So he rushed to Liaoning with the gold medal.
Li Xiangong finally paid the appraisal fee of 100 yuan after arduous work and found several experts in the column group.
Li Xiangong, full of hope, thought that several old experts would be able to tell themselves the true origin of this brand.
Who knew that several experts had looked over and over for a long time, but finally they shook their heads helplessly.
"The appraisal fee of 100 yuan will pay you back, and the appraisal will not be able to be obtained."
Li Xiangong did not give up, and having been forced by debt to be cornered, he could only take the train in Hohhot and find a historical research institute in Xing'an League after several twists and turns.
Unexpectedly, he was directly turned away, and could only secretly put gold medal photos and text rubbings on their desks.
Holding a valuable gold medal in hand, there is no way to sell it.
Li Xiangong, who had already spent all his savings, felt extremely depressed and desperate, and drank drunkenly at night in the inn.
Carelessly lost
When he woke up the next day, he went straight to the station and stepped on the train home, but forgot the gold medal that was still pressed under the mattress of the hotel.
Dramatic things happened.
At this time, someone soon came to the door and found Li Xiangong at home.
The man told him that an expert had seen a photograph of his gold medal and a rubbing of the text on it, confirming that it was a Gold Medal of the Yuan Dynasty Sacred Will.
At present, there are only more than a dozen Yuan Dynasty Sacred Will Tablets found in the world, almost all of which are made of silver and iron.
And the gold sacred will plate has not yet been discovered, and the value of this gold medal is unimaginable.
At this time, Li Xiangong had left the hotel for 24 hours.
Hearing this, he wanted to cry without tears, and rushed back to the inn within two hours like a madman.
After opening the mattress, I was surprised to find that the gold medal was still there.
Li Xiangong was very fortunate.
Yuan Dynasty Gold Medal Holy Will!
The expert who recognized this gold medal of the Holy Will was Professor Bao Xiang, who was then vice president of Inner Mongolia University.
After accidentally seeing the photos and text rubbings of this gold medal, Professor Bao Xiang was very surprised.
The above text was all too familiar to him, wasn't this the Basi Ba Wen of the Yuan Dynasty?
Professor Bao Xiang, who was proficient in The Eight Si Ba, read the words on the gold medal in passing——
In the name of the most sovereign God
The Emperor's orders were irresistible
Whoever does not ask for the guilt is put to death
This is not an item of Genghis Khan, but it is a gold medal holy will of the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and its value has even reached the level of a national first-class cultural relic.
Professor Bao Immediately decided to buy the gold medal and finally took it from Li Xiangong for $6300.
$6,300 was definitely a huge amount of money at the time, but it wasn't worth mentioning compared to this gold medal.
Now some of the fabric holy wills of the Ming and Qing dynasties can be auctioned for tens of millions of yuan, and the value of this gold medal holy will of the Yuan Dynasty is absolutely only high.
The treasure of the town hall
Someone advised Professor Bao to sell it at a high price.
Professor Bao Shu shook his head firmly:
"Even if the gold medal comes to me, even if it is a place, no matter how high the price, it cannot be sold."
Subsequently, Professor Bao Xiang donated the gold medal to the Museum of Ethnology of Inner Mongolia University!
At this time, the head of the historical research institute of the Xing'an League before found the photo and recognized it at a glance.
The person in charge was well aware of the discovery of the Sacred Will Gold Medal, which was the first time in the world.
Its cultural and academic value cannot be measured by money.
Impatient, he hurriedly held an emergency meeting and demanded that it be acquired at all costs.
And mobilized staff to conduct a carpet search in the antique and old cultural relics market in the whole district.
The institute also reported the matter to the Public Security Department of the Autonomous Region.
The leaders of the Public Security Department of the autonomous region attach great importance to it.
Send a special person to be responsible for cooperating in the recovery of this sacred gold medal.
Finally, after learning that the gold medal fell, the Xing'an League Administration sent a letter to Inner Mongolia University to negotiate the return of the gold medal.
"The gold medal is the treasure of the Museum of Ethnology of Inner Mongolia University!"
In this regard, the director of the Museum of Nationalities of Inner Mongolia University responded with a proud smile.
