When the laughter subsided, Ye Tian returned to the previous topic.
"Following this sequence, I can make a bold guess that the access code for the third section of this arched corridor is hidden in another top oil painting by Leonardo da Vinci, that is the famous "The Baptist" St. John"
"Saint John the Baptist" is believed to be the last work created by Leonardo da Vinci. It was created between 1513 and 1516. The oil painting is also collected in the Louvre. As I mentioned before The two oil paintings are the same.
In "St. John the Baptist", there are also some mysterious characters and Fibonacci numbers hidden with unknown meanings, but they are hidden deeper. When I went to the Louvre Museum in Paris before, I also found it by chance. found.
There is of course a reason why the third passage code of this arched corridor is hidden in "Saint John the Baptist" rather than in other works of Leonardo da Vinci. There may be a very important secret hidden in it. "Secret"
Hearing this, Peter and Derek suddenly became more excited, and their eyes shone.
"Wow! This is really a suspenseful story, so exciting!"
"Steven, what secret is hidden here? Tell us quickly"
Ye Tian looked at the two excited guys and then continued his performance.
"Like "The Virgin and Child with Saint Anna" and "Mona Lisa", "Saint John the Baptist" was also a work created by Leonardo da Vinci after he left Milan, and these three oil paintings are his most cherished Keep your work with you
Until his death in France, these three oil paintings never left him! It now appears that the reason why Leonardo da Vinci cherished these three oil paintings so much, in addition to being top-notch works of art, is probably related to the secrets hidden in them!
This historical building on the ground was built at the end of the 15th century, before 1499, as was this secret underground space. Leonardo da Vinci designed and built it, and Ludovic, the Archduke of Milan, financed its construction.
In addition to being the Grand Duke of Milan, Ludovic was also one of the most important and famous patrons of art during the Renaissance. His contribution to the Renaissance movement was not much worse than that of the Medici family in Florence.
For Leonardo da Vinci, Ludovic was even more grateful, and they had a very deep friendship. It was precisely because of Ludovic's generous funding that Da Vinci was able to devote himself to the study of art and other fields. kind of knowledge.
Da Vinci's rise to fame, becoming one of the three masters of Renaissance art, and even becoming the greatest artist in Western history is inseparable from his extraordinary genius and the strong support of Ludovic! ”
Peter and Derek nodded together, obviously very much in agreement.
They are now considered industry insiders. They have a certain understanding of the most important Renaissance movement in the history of Western art and the life and works of Leonardo da Vinci. They know that Ye Tian is right!
After laying the groundwork, Ye Tian came to the most critical point.
“In 1498, King Charles VIII of France died. The successor to the French throne was Louis XII. He also had another identity, that is, he was a descendant of Gian Galeazzo, the first Duke of Milan.
After Louis XII came to power, he immediately made a request to Ludovic to take back the title of Duke of Milan. Naturally, Ludovic could not agree to this request, and war broke out immediately.
In 1499, with the support of the Republic of Venice and the people of Milan, Louis XII easily conquered Milan. Ludovic could only flee in panic and took refuge in the Holy Roman Empire.
After Ludovic escaped, Leonardo da Vinci, his best friend, could only flee Milan in a hurry and began a wandering journey, eventually returning to his hometown, Florence!
During the escape, Leonardo da Vinci successively created sketches of "The Virgin and Child and Saint Anna" and "Mona Lisa", as well as sketches of "St. John the Baptist", which may have been created at this time. !
It can be seen from the sketches of "The Virgin and Child and Saint Anna" collected by the National Gallery in London that Leonardo da Vinci began to hide the password when he created the sketches of these three top oil paintings."
Peter and Derek nodded together, the facts were right in front of them and could not be denied at all!
At the same time, these two guys also became more excited. Such a wonderful story, how could it not make people excited!
Ye Tian looked at these two guys and continued his performance.
“Let’s talk about the dispute between Louis XII and Ludovic. After conquering Milan, Louis XII did not find a large number of top-notch artworks and gold and silver treasures collected by the Sforza family, so he worked in vain!
Soon after, with the help of German mercenaries and Swiss mercenaries, Ludovic made a comeback, drove away the French, and reoccupied Milan. However, the good times did not last long, and he soon failed again!
This failure led to him becoming a prisoner of the French and being taken to Paris. He died in depression and failed to return to Milan! However, he did not give up the title of Duke of Milan even until his death!
Now it seems that the reason why Louis XII imprisoned Ludovic until his death was probably not just for the title of Duke of Milan. You must know that he is already the king of France, and the Duke of Milan is nothing but a useless person!
The more important purpose of Louis XII is probably to find the top-notch artworks and large amounts of gold and silver treasures collected by the Sforza family, and the treasures of the Sforza family may be hidden here."
As he said that, Ye Tian pointed his hand deeper into the secret passage!
Following the direction of his finger, Peter and Derek both looked over there!
After a pause, Ye Tian's voice sounded again, echoing in this ancient underground secret passage.
"It may be speculated that before fleeing Milan for the first time, Ludovic hid all the large amounts of top-notch art and gold and silver treasures accumulated by his family here to avoid being looted by Louis XII.
After Ludovic made a comeback and re-captured Milan, the French immediately launched a counterattack. He did not even have the time or dare to bring out these family treasures that had been hidden with great difficulty!
In that case, this staggering amount of treasure is likely to be advantageous to the French. Perhaps it was because he was too cautious that he had no money, which in turn led to the betrayal of the Swiss mercenaries!
Because the Swiss mercenaries refused to work for him, Ludovic soon failed. While escaping in disguise, he was captured by the French at the border and became a prisoner, completely ruining himself!
After he was taken to Paris, Louis XII should have asked about the whereabouts of the Sforza family treasures. Fortunately, Ludovic had a tough bone and did not reveal the whereabouts of the Sforza family treasures until his death!
Judging from this point of view, Ludovic's death may not have ended in depression, but he may have died under the torture of Louis XII. The French kings can do this kind of thing, they have this tradition! ”
Before he finished speaking, a burst of laughter immediately erupted from the scene.
"Hahaha, yes, Philip IV crazily strangled the Knights Templar, wasn't he just for the treasure of the Knights Templar!"
"It's true, the French kings really have this tradition. There was Philip IV who strangled the Knights Templar, and Louis XV who said "even if there is a flood after my death", they are all the same!"

Hearing their complaints, Ye Tian also chuckled softly.
After a few jokes, we got back to the topic.
"In 1512, Ludovic's son Maximilian returned to Milan, which led to an attack by the French. Why did the French pursue the Sforza family relentlessly? Maybe it was because of the treasure!
After Maximilian became the Grand Duke of Milan, he seemed to have failed to find his family’s treasure. The fact that he attracted attacks from the French so quickly may have something to do with the mysterious disappearance of the Sforza family treasure!
Similar to what happened to his father, Maximilian was also taken to Paris by the French, imprisoned, and eventually died in Paris. The French eventually failed to find the mysteriously missing Sforza family treasure.
From this point of view, the only people who know the location of the Sforza family treasure are probably Ludovic and Leonardo da Vinci. Even Ludovic’s two sons do not know where this shocking treasure is buried. where!
Da Vinci, who was responsible for burying the treasure, cleverly hid the location of the treasure and the passwords for passing each level in the many works of art he created, deceiving everyone until now!
This explains why he always keeps "The Virgin and Child with Saint Anna", "Mona Lisa" and "Saint John the Baptist" with him, because these three oil paintings hide the most important Three passwords!
Even Leonardo da Vinci’s trip to France was related to this incident! Why did Francois I, the successor of Louis XII, invite the elderly Leonardo da Vinci to France? I’m afraid the purpose is not just because I love art!
Francois I invited Leonardo da Vinci to France, and even forced Leonardo to go to France. The more important purpose may be related to the mysterious disappearance of the Sforza family treasure, so he visited Leonardo frequently. !
Unfortunately, until Leonardo da Vinci died in France in 1519, Francois I did not get the Sforza family treasure he wanted, but he got the most cherished treasure that Da Vinci had always carried with him. Three oil paintings!
But where could he have imagined that the Sforza family treasure he wanted to find and the three most important passwords to enter the treasure were hidden in these three oil paintings. Even if Leonardo da Vinci died, he would not forget to fight with the French. What a joke!
This is exactly what the saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest place! Leonardo da Vinci fulfilled this sentence perfectly, maintained his friendship and loyalty to Ludovic, and never told the whereabouts of the treasure until his death! ”
Hearing this, Peter and Derek were completely dumbfounded and stared at Ye Tian in stunned silence.
They know very well that if the words they just heard are spread and verified to be true, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Western world and rewrite part of Western history and art history!
The French King’s greed for treasures, the brutal pursuit of the Sforza family, the deep friendship between Leonardo da Vinci and Ludovic, the rock-solid loyalty, and other insidious and even **** events The **** fight!
Coupled with this shocking treasure that is sure to shock the world, all of these combined together will definitely be an extremely exciting drama!
