Inside the temple of Bongseon.

Two beautiful people, one big and one small.

It's the first time Yun Rui has come to this place.

The entire wall of the main hall is filled with a number of shrines in the order of Zhaomu. Each niche has a portrait. In front of the shrine is placed a red sandalwood offering table, on which there are incense burners, net bottles, sacrifices, ritual utensils, and so on.

Yun Rui sniffed, and there seemed to be a faint scent of sandalwood wafting in the air.

I guess I've just paid homage to incense, right? She thought.

Here, it is the most solemn place of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The emperors of all dynasties, including the ancestors of the Yuwen family who went back several generations, whether heroic or stingy, kind or strict, their souls have remained here forever and forever for future generations to remember and admire.

Bold and naughty, in this solemn place, especially when the wind sweeps over the portraits with a sense of different ages, they can't help but converge.

Jing Yan led Yun Rui to salute, offer incense, and pray in front of the ancestral shrine of the Yuwen clan in the middle.

Complete. She waved away her entourage and others, leaving only Bingbi and Shimo to serve.

The doors of the temple were shut.

The sound of "rumbling" seemed to crush Yun Rui's heart.

At this time, in this hall, there are only them, and the souls of the ancestors and ancestors are companions. This made Yun Rui can't help but have a sense of sacredness. From the moment she stepped into the Forbidden Palace, until now, she really felt that she was "the descendant of the Yuwen family".

Jing Yan stared deeply at her increasingly neat little face, and her heart was a little wider, so she led her to a god.

Jing Yan took a deep breath, took three sticks of incense from Bingbi's hand, lit it, and held it high above his head, with a solemn expression.

Insert the three incense sticks into the incense burner in front of the god, and kneel down on the futon in front of the shrine. After kneeling three times and knocking nine times, he got up solemnly and stood sideways.

Yun Rui watched her sister-in-law's actions for a moment, she was even more respectful than in front of the ancestor shrine of the Yuwen clan, she was very curious.

With wide eyes, Yun Rui stared at the ornate and intricate tablet in front of the shrine and took a closer look.

What a long list of names!

Hetian Hongyun Wenwu Rui Gong ......

Yun Rui didn't have the patience to look at this long list of stalks, and went straight to the end.

So it became clear -

It turned out that this was the shrine of Emperor Gaozu.

No wonder my sister-in-law is so respectful!

"Arrow!" Jing Yan finished saluting and called her softly.

Yun Rui froze, and moved his gaze back to focus on the tablet.

"Get on your knees!" Jing Yan is concise and to the point.

These two simple words reminded Yun Rui of Kuntai Palace, and his sister-in-law also drank the "little crazy girl" Jing Jiayue like this.

In Kuntai Palace before, my sister-in-law stood up for herself. This gave Yun Rui a sense of accomplishment of "I am the future son of heaven". Thinking that he was about to be bowed down by the people of the whole Great Zhou, thinking of the very domineering Jing Jiayue, and the honor guards of the dignitaries and nobles that he saw when watching the excitement in the Lu room in previous years...... They all have to be respectful to themselves, and the vanity of the little children is greatly satisfied, and even the little heads are smoked.

At this moment, when he heard his sister-in-law let herself "kneel", there seemed to be a trace of uncertainty in her tone, and Yun Rui suddenly felt frustrated.

She pursed her thin lips and hesitated for a moment. But when I thought about it, it was no one else who knelt down to worship, but Emperor Gaozu, a wise and wise heroine, and I felt a little relieved.

So, Yun Rui put on the futon, lifted the front of the small purple robe, and knelt down.

However, she has not forgotten her "position", and her small body is still standing tall.

Jing Yan saw that she was stunned, and after kneeling, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and she already knew what she was thinking, helpless and funny, but her face was still solemn.

"Arrow, do you know who you're prostrating at the moment?"

"Yes. It was Emperor Gaozu. The clear voice of the child echoed in the empty hall.

Jing Yan nodded: "From today on, Ah Rui must remember: as a monarch, kneel to the sky, kneel to the ground, and kneel to the ancestors and parents in the middle." However, except for solemn occasions, in the past, when she asked the Queen Mother and her old man to say goodbye, Rui didn't have to kneel down. However, for Emperor Gaozu, Ah Rui should respect and respect him, always keep the teachings of Gaozu in his heart, learn them, practice them, and be a son of heaven who has made great achievements like Gaozu. ”

Yun Rui listened to Jing Yan's solemn words in his ears, and couldn't help but look up at the portrait in the shrine-

The woman in the painting is heroic, in a red robe and silver, holding a silver spear in her hand, and carrying a long sword behind her back, only the hilt of the sword is exposed on her shoulder. The body is slender like bamboo, the face is like a crown of jade, the eyes are bright, and a bright red hairband is tied on the full forehead, and the green silk is flying. Its appearance is like a fairy shooting an immortal, and its quality is just like the god of war coming to the world, which is heart-warming to watch, but heartbreaking.

This is what Gaozu looks like?

Yun Rui's breath was suffocated, and a heart beat wildly in her left chest, and the stirring from the depths of her blood made her soul vibrate.

Gaozu! Gaozu! What a style!

That bearing is different from the masculinity of men, and it is also different from the femininity of women. How to describe it? Yun Rui really can't think of it. She didn't have the time to think about it. At this moment, she was impressed by her! I am even more proud of being a descendant of my ancestors!

"Arrow?"

Jing Yan's call recalled Yun Rui's mind.

She suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Jing Yan in a daze.

Jing Yan frowned secretly, "Do you remember what I just said?" ”

Yun Rui nodded habitually, and then asked dissatisfiedly, "Gao Zu...... Did Gaozu really look like this? ”

Jing Yan paused and glanced up at the portrait: "This portrait is said to have been painted by the painter according to the appearance of Gaozu when he was young in battle. Gaozu has always been unconventional, and it was her old man who let this portrait be hung in the Fengxian Hall in the future. Yes, even after a hundred years, we must let future generations remember the hardships of our ancestors' conquests, and firmly remember that 'it is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to sit on the country'. ”

Yun Rui recalled the portraits that he had just browsed, all of them were dragon robes, crowns, solemn, sitting upright, which made people look boring, where is the portrait of Gao Zu so refreshing?

"Gao Zu is really good!" She stared at her eyes with a look of yearning.

Jing Yan was quite pleased. If Arrow had such reverence for Gao Zu, she would have followed Gao Zu's teachings, which would have entered her heart far more than pure preaching.

After all, Yun Rui has a child's heart, and he couldn't help but say again: "Gao Zu is much better looking than these male emperors!" ”

Jing Yan secretly laughed at what she said about the "male emperor", which was inevitably unseemly, but the admiration of the childish child was obvious.

Relieved, Jing Yan smiled lightly: "Women are already more delicate than men. What's more, Emperor Gaozu is outstanding in appearance. ”

Yun Rui blinked, and suddenly remembered the story of Li Ziyang Zhenren who hadn't finished reading the day before yesterday, and couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law, what does Ziyang Zhenren look like?" ”

When Jing Yan heard this, he said: "Why do you ask this?" ”

Yun Rui saw that her face changed slightly, and she didn't know what to do, but she still said head-on: "Ziyang Zhenren is the niece of Gao Zuyan, doesn't it say that 'the adopted daughter is like an aunt'?" ”

Jing Yanxiu frowned secretly: "It is said that Ziyang Zhenren's appearance is very similar to Gaozu ......"

Yun Rui's face yearned.

Jing Yan suddenly remembered that he had not had time to close the bookcase he saw when he was in the Yun family, and his expression returned to coldness.

"Arrow, do you know why I punished Jing Jiayue today?"

Yun Rui was still wandering in the story of Ziyang Zhenren, stunned for a moment, and replied: "Sister-in-law said that she offended the crown prince. ”

"Yes," Jing Yan nodded, "but she wasn't the only one who made the mistake. ”

Yun Rui was stunned, only to find out that after he had worshiped Gao Zu, his sister-in-law did not let herself get up. So—

It's yourself who is wrong, right?

"Arrow, do you know what you're doing wrong?" Jing Yan asked.

What's wrong?

Yun Rui was confused.

If you say that in the past, at home, you fought with other children, and Sister taught herself a lesson, it was naturally because she shouldn't fight. But right now, I am the prince, the future son of heaven! That little crazy girl Jing Jiayue actually saw her clothes and whipped herself, then she was wrong first. Myself...... What's wrong?

Jing Yan looked at her ignorant appearance, and simply went straight to the point: "Ah Rui's mistake is a mistake in losing proportion." ”

With her faint expression, Yun Rui was secretly frightened, and she knew that her sister-in-law was serious, so she repeated repeated: "Measure ......"

"Exactly. A monarch has his own proportions as a monarch, how can he be like a scoundrel in the market and fight with the daughter of a courtier? Jing Yan said solemnly.

"But......" Yun Rui was unwilling to argue for himself, "but...... She hit me first! ”

"Even so, as a venerable, you should not take her as knowledgeable as you are."

"That, that...... Am I not allowed to be whipped by her? Yun Rui wrung his brows, stalked his neck, and was not convinced.

Jing Yan breathed a long sigh of relief: "Rui, you are the king, she is the minister, you are respected, she is humble, if you are serious about her, how will the ministers think?" How do the people of the world think? ”

"What does it have to do with the people of the world?" Yun Rui snorted.

"As a monarch, every move is related to the world." Under the whole world, it is not the king's land', since you are the son of heaven, you are an example for the people of the world all the time, and the entire Great Zhou Empire is watching you! ”

Yun Rui was silent. She never thought that being an emperor would care so much about other people's opinions.

Jing Yan said bitterly: "Since you are a king, naturally there are people around you to serve you and listen to your call." For example, when you encounter Yue'er's rudeness, you can ask the attendants, entourage, etc. to deal with it, and you can put on the posture of a monarch; Even, they called their courtiers and ordered them to dispose of them. This is their duty, and it is your self-preference. ”

Retinue, courtier, duty, self-discipline......

The more Yun Rui listened, the more anxious he became, his small fists clenched violently, and he jumped out of a sentence without a head: "Being an emperor is trouble!" If I knew this, I should have gone to find Master that day! ”

Jing Yan was shocked, who would have expected her to say these words out of nowhere.

Her delicate body was shocked, she stared at the small figure in front of her in disbelief, and her heart was angry and bitter: "Arrow...... In front of the throne of the Divine Ancestor, you actually said such a thing! Trouble being an emperor? Scold! How did you promise me that day? You're so ...... So...... Can you live up to your royal brother's expectations? Can you be worthy of the legacy of Gaozu? ”

As soon as Yun Rui's words came out, he regretted it. She is a "character" among the children on weekdays, and now she is "the prince of the prince", Chrysostom or something, how can she be embarrassed to take back the words that she spit out?

She was ashamed to do this, so she could only purse her lips and watch Jing Yan change color.

Bingbi and Shimo glanced at each other, and they both felt that the atmosphere was wrong.

Jing Yan was sad at the moment, and his eyes fell on the side of the hall-

There, a new niche will soon be erected, and her philosopher will forever become the "first emperor......

Gritting his teeth and forcibly suppressing the tears that welled up, Jing Yan lowered his head and looked at Yun Rui's immature face, there used to be such a small face, staring at himself so intently......

She's still a child, still a child......

Jing Yan gasped, and then gasped, and the anger and grief that hit his head decreased slightly.

This child is out-of-the-box, unconventional, and intelligent. This should be a good thing for the emperor.

However, if the jade is not cut, it will not be made.

Jing Yan had made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "At a young age, he is disrespectful, and his actions and words are even more disproportionate, so he really deserves to be punished!" He knelt before the Divine Lord of the Great Ancestors! When to know what you are wrong and when to get up again! ”

After that, as soon as the body turned, he was about to leave.

Bingbi and Shimo looked at each other: Master, is this really going to punish His Royal Highness Rui?
