Chapter 50: Autumn Chrysanthemum Illustration

At the beginning of the founding of the kingdom, there was a major rebellion.
Xia Weiming, the general who had defeated the great Zhou Jiangshan with the Taizu Emperor, led an army of 100,000 to approach Kyoto after the Taizu Emperor's death, in an attempt to overthrow the succeeding Emperor Xiao and set himself as emperor.
The rebels fought against the fifty thousand imperial troops stationed in Kyoto for half a month. Xia Weiming finally entered the palace and killed Emperor Xiao Ming, who had only been enthroned for less than three months, and announced the establishment of a new dynasty the next day.
It's a pity that Xia Weiming is only a martial artist, who is good at fighting, but knows nothing about political tactics. Xia's new dynasty lasted for less than a hundred days, and Xia Weiming was inexplicably poisoned on the dragon bed.
After Xia Weiming's death, Li Min, the third member of the Li family's clan, and several young generals took the opportunity to initiate the palace change, killing Xia Weiming's two sons and controlling the palace.
Because the Taizu emperor's line had been slaughtered by the Xia family, the hundred officials elected Li Min, the clan clan, as the emperor and restored the title of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Li Min was the later Emperor Gaozu.
Although the Li family has always refused to recognize the existence of the new dynasty established by the Xia family, which was less than a hundred days old, it is an ironclad fact that the Li family was copied from the old nest and destroyed the ancestral temple. So this incident is a shame to the Li family.
People in the Great Zhou Dynasty knew more or less about the history of Xia's seizure, but because Li's reluctance to hear people mention it, many details were deliberately forgotten.
Therefore, many people do not know that the day Xia Weiming launched the rebellion was the time of the huāhuā meeting in Kyoto in early September. The Jing Ge iron horse shattered the golden armor all over the ground, leaving only the bright red in the Yi River outside the Kyoto city wall. According to legend, the water level of the Yihe River rose by six or seven feet in half a month, which was caused by the blood and bodies of fifty thousand imperial soldiers entering the river.
Ren Shimin's painting of this chrysanthemum huā may only be painted by him when the sky was full in the evening, so the river will be bright red, and it does not imply the Xia family's rebellion.
However, in the previous life, after Ren Shimin's death, this painting became Zeng Tong's threat to Ren's family. To say that Ren Jia's "anti-painting" is to support the Yanbei king to follow the example of the Xia family and to rebel against him.
Ren Yaoqi always thought that this "Autumn Chrysanthemum" was fabricated by Zeng Tan, because she had never seen it in Ren Shimin's paintings.
Now it seems that Ren Shimin did paint such a painting, but he painted it when he went to the capital, and happened to give it to Han Yunqian on the way back to Yanbei, so she had never seen it.
It's just that how did this painting finally reach Zeng Tong's hands, and even become his handle for threatening Ren's family? What role did the Han family play in this?
Ren Yaoqi thought about it, his eyes staring at Han You couldn't help being a little erratic.
Han You was seen a little at a loss, and couldn't help taking a step back.
Ren Yaoting frowned and stood in front of Han You: "Fifth sister, what are you doing?"
Ren Yaohua was also a little strange, and couldn't help pushing her with her hand.
Ren Yaoqi came back to his senses, looked at the surprised faces of everyone, and grinned reluctantly: "It's okay, I suddenly thought of a dream." Then she turned her gaze to Han You who was standing behind Ren Yaoting again. After only staying for a moment, a gentle smile appeared again. "Sorry, I just thought of something else. Didn't you scare you?"
Han You heaved a sigh of relief and showed a relieved smile: "It scared me. I thought I had said something wrong and offended you. It would be fine. What dream did you just think of? Would you like to say it? My mother said It’s not scary to say it if you have a nightmare."
Facing Han You’s pure and worried eyes, Ren Yaoqi’s heart was complicated: "That dream... I stand on the top of a high cliff with no one around me. The only way is to The steep steps at the bottom of the cliff that are not bottomed will be broken if you don't pay attention."
This dream was not made up by her. She often had that dream after leaving Ren's family in the previous life. No matter how she climbed down the mountain steps, there was no end and no way out. The ending always ended with a complete fall off the cliff and wake up.
Ren Yaoyu sneered, "What a terrible dream, I thought it was a monster!"
Ren Yaoqi smiled slightly and did not excuse.
Children always think that these are the most terrifying things. They still don't understand that the most terrifying thing in this world is despair and hopelessness.
"Although I haven't had this kind of dream, I still find it terrible." Han You comforted.
"If you don't think about it, you won't have these messy dreams!" Ren Yaohua disapproved.
Ren Yaoqi let out a breath, with a relaxed smile on his face: "Well, where are we going next?"
Ren Yaoyu immediately said, "Let's go to the street behind Guan Gong Temple. I heard that there are Wu Changlong and the'Nine Music Longmen Lantern Array'."
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua don’t care, Ren Yaoting looked at Han You, and Han You nodded with a smile:
Okay, I’ve heard that this year there will be a'Nine Qu Longmen Light Array' in the town. I heard that this kind of light array takes a lot of effort. , And need a master who understands gossip and formations to make maps, so I only do this once in five years. I just want to come and see."
"Then go take a look." Ren Yaoting nodded in agreement.
"Let's leave the carriage here and walk over? It's not far away anyway, and there are so many pedestrians on the road, how lively it is." Ren Yaoyu suggested.
At this point, Han You also winked. She rarely has the opportunity to go out, let alone walk in the street with her friend so generous. Seeing those young girls waiting in twos and threes on the street, she couldn't help being very envious. It's just that she is shy, she won't say such a proposal.
However, Ren Yaoting was observant of his words, and immediately agreed, and then asked Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua: "Where are the third and fifth sisters? Do you want to go with us?"
She asked this politely, meaning that regardless of whether Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua agreed, they had already decided to go.
Ren Yaohua glanced at the pedestrians on the street, and was a little moved, so he glanced at Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi has always been indifferent to such things, so he nodded and said, "Then just walk, but don't lose sight of everyone who is a maid. It's not bad to say that Baihe Town's public security is not bad, but After all, people come and go."
Ren Yaoyu interrupted happily and impatiently: "You have to tell me! These people dare not lose us!"
So a few people took a bunch of maids to the street behind Guan Gong Temple.
Ren Yaoting and Han Youxiang walked in front, and Ren Yaoyu took her maidservants and strolled through the roadside stalls. [Excited] I bought more than a dozen lights for the people behind to carry them. go back.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua walked together.
"Don't you want Sanjie to buy lights?" Ren Yaoqi asked.
"You can buy it yourself if you want it, I don't want it. Where do you want to hang it?" Ren Yaohua just watched the excitement, not interested in the lights.
Ren Yaoqi just asked casually. She was still thinking about the painting. No matter what, the painting must be taken back.
The two of them walked silently all the way. When they were approaching the backstreet, they ran into a team of Wu Changlong. The crowd rushed over here. Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua stopped and looked outside the crowd for a while.
"Huh? Where are the Seventh Sisters?" Ren Yaohua looked around and asked suddenly.
Ren Yaoqi also looked around. There were people everywhere, but there were no three people.
"It must have been squeezed to the front." Ren Yaoqi said uncertainly.
Ren Yaohua looked for it again, but there were too many people in front of them, so where can I see who is who.
"Forget it, they must go to see the Jiuqu Longmen Light Array, let's go there and wait for them."
Ren Yaoqi nodded without comment.
The two of them bypassed the lively crowd and went to the place where they were set up.
The Jiuqu Longmen Lantern Array is placed on a flat ground behind Guan Gong Temple. It is about two acres wide. It is poured with water to form an ice wall of about seven feet. There are three hundred and sixty lights inside. The entire light array has only one entrance and one exit. Those who don't understand the formation method go in no matter how they go around, and finally go around the entrance again. This is the peculiarity of the Jiuqu Longmen Light Array.
It is time-consuming, laborious and expensive to set up this kind of lamp array.
When Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua walked to the entrance, they saw that there were already some people watching the excitement, but there were not many people who really dared to go in for a try, and everyone was afraid that they could not get out.
"This light array is really beautiful!" The maids said joyfully.
The ice lamp array was beautifully illuminated by the lights, and Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be stunned.
"Isn't that Young Master Han?" Xiangqin pointed to a distance.
"Huh? The third son is also here?" Xiangqin added with afterthought.
When Ren Yaoqi looked up, he saw Han Yunqian and Ren Yijun standing outside the lamp array talking. It is no wonder that Xiangqin only saw Han Yunqian first. Although he was not very old, he was calm and graceful. Ren Yijun's delicate appearance and gloomy temperament were naturally compared to him.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but frown. Isn't Ren Yijun Yu Han Yunqian wrong? How could the two appear here together?
After thinking about it, Ren Yaoqi said to Ren Yaohua: "Since I met, I should say hello."
Ren Yaohua did not object, and the two went to Ren Yijun and Han Yunqian.
I just heard Ren Yijun say: "If you can come out in a quarter of an hour, I will believe you, how?"
Han Yunqian was about to speak when he raised his eyes and saw the two sisters.
"Yaoqi, are you here too?" Ren Yijun ignored Ren Yaohua and only greeted Ren Yaoqi with a very friendly attitude.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua bowed to salute, and Han Yunqian bowed his hands in return.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said with Ren Yijun: "I wanted to invite my third brother to see the lamp together before, but I heard that you have already gone out, so you were with Young Master Han?"
Ren Yijun rolled his eyes: "Who came with him? But I happened to meet him at a gathering of friends. I said I was going to see the Jiuqu Longmen Lantern Array, and he wanted to see it, so he came on the same road."
I'll catch insects later~^^
