At the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, there was a major rebellion.

Xia Weiming, a general who had conquered the Great Zhou Dynasty with Emperor Taizu, led an army of 100,000 to approach Kyoto after Emperor Taizu's death, in an attempt to overthrow Emperor Ming Xiao, who succeeded him, and establish himself as emperor.

The rebels fought with the 50,000 forbidden troops stationed in Kyoto for half a month, Xia Weiming finally entered the palace, killed Emperor Ming Xiao, who had only ascended the throne for less than three months, and announced the establishment of a new dynasty to the world on the second day.

It's a pity that Xia Weiming is just a martial artist after all, and he is good at fighting the country, but he doesn't know anything about political strategy. The new Xia dynasty lasted less than a hundred days, and Xia Weiming was inexplicably poisoned on the dragon bed.

After Xia Weiming's death, Li Min, the son of the Li clan, and several young generals took the opportunity to launch a palace rebellion, killed Xia Weiming's two sons and took control of the palace.

Because Emperor Taizu's lineage had been slaughtered by the Xia family, the hundred officials elected Li Min, the son of the sect, to succeed him as emperor and restore the name of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Li Min was the later Emperor Gaozu.

Although the Li royal family has always refused to admit the existence of the new dynasty established by the Xia clan in less than a hundred days, it is an ironclad fact that the Li clan has been raided and destroyed by someone who has destroyed the temple. So this matter is a shame for the Li royal family.

The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are more or less aware of the history of the Xia clan's seizure of the throne, but because the Li clan is unwilling to hear people mention this matter, many details have been deliberately forgotten.

Therefore, many people do not know that the day Xia Weiming launched the rebellion was the time of the Kyoto Chrysanthemum Festival in early September. At that time, Jingge's iron horse twisted the golden armor all over the ground, leaving only the bright red in the Yi River outside the city wall of Kyoto. Legend has it that the water level of the Yi River rose by six or seven feet in half a month, which was caused by the blood and corpses of 50,000 forbidden soldiers entering the river.

Ren Shimin's painting of this chrysanthemum may have only been painted by him in the evening when the sunset was full, so the river would be bright red, and there was no implication of the Xia rebellion that year.

But in the last life, after Ren Shimin's death, this painting became a handle for Zeng Yan to threaten the Ren family. It is said that the Ren family's "reverse painting" is to support the king of Yanbei to follow the Xia family and raise troops to rebel.

Ren Yaochi always thought that this "Qiu Ju picture" was fabricated by Zeng Yan, because she had never seen this in Ren Shimin's paintings.

Now it seems that Ren Shimin did paint such a picture. It's just that she painted it when she went to the capital, and it happened to be given to Han Yunqian on the way back to Yanbei, so she didn't see it.

It's just that how did this painting come into Zeng Yan's hands after the worst, and even became his handle to threaten the Ren family, what role did the Han family play in this?

Ren Yaochi thought about it, and his eyes staring at Han You couldn't help but be a little fluttering.

Han You was a little at a loss. I couldn't help but take a step back.

Ren Yaoting frowned and stood in front of Han You: "Fifth sister, what are you doing here?" ”

Ren Yaohua was also a little strange, and couldn't help but push her with her hand.

Ren Yaoqi came back to his senses, looked at everyone's surprised faces, and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay." A dream occurred to me. As she spoke, she turned her gaze back to Han You, who was standing behind Ren Yaoting, and only stayed for a moment before revealing a gentle smile again. I'm sorry, I just thought of something else and didn't scare you, did I? ”

Han You breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relieved smile: "It scared me, I thought I had offended you by saying something wrong, wasn't it." What dream did you just come up with? Do you want to say it? My mother said that she had nightmares, and it wouldn't be scary to say it. ”

Looking at Han You's pure eyes with slight worry, Ren Yaoqi's heart was complicated: "That dream...... I was standing on top of a high cliff with no one around. The only way is a steep staircase that leads to the bottomless bottom of a cliff, and if you don't pay attention, you will be crushed. ”

This dream was not made up by her, she often had it after she left the Ren family in her previous life. No matter how she climbed down the stairs. There is no end, and there is no way out in sight, and the ending always ends with a stumble and falling off a cliff to wake up.

Ren Yaoyu sneered and said, "What kind of terrible dream is this." I thought it was some kind of beast! ”

Ren Yaochi smiled slightly, and did not defend.

Children always think that these are the most terrible things, and they do not understand that the most terrifying thing in this world is despair and hopelessness.

"I've never had such a dream, but I think it's scary." Han You comforted kindly.

"If you don't think about it, you won't have these messy dreams!" Ren Yaohua said disapprerovingly.

Ren Yaochi exhaled softly, with a relaxed smile on his face: "Okay, where are we going next?" ”

Ren Yaoyu immediately preemptively said: "Let's go to the street behind the Guangong Temple, I heard that there is a long dragon dance and the 'Nine Songs Dragon Gate Lantern Array'." ”

Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua didn't care, Ren Yaoting looked at Han You, Han You smiled and nodded: "Okay, I have long heard that this year's town will set up the 'Nine Curved Dragon Gate Lantern Array', I heard that this kind of light array takes a lot of effort to break the line, and it needs a master who knows gossip and formation to make a map, so it is only placed once in five years." I just wanted to see it. ”

"Then let's go check it out." Ren Yaoting nodded in agreement.

"Shall we leave the carriage here and walk over there? Anyway, it's not far from here, and there are so many pedestrians on the road, how lively. Ren Yaoyu proposed.

As soon as these words came out, Han You's eyes lit up. She rarely had the opportunity to go out, let alone walk down the street with her friends so generously.

Looking at the teenagers and girls on the street who were strolling around the lantern festival in twos and threes, she couldn't help but be very envious. It's just that she's shy, and she won't say this kind of proposal.

Ren Yaoting observed the words and immediately agreed, and then asked Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua: "What about the third sister and the fifth sister?" Do you want to go with us? ”

She asked politely, but what she meant was that no matter whether Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua agreed or not, they had already decided to go.

Ren Yaohua glanced at the pedestrians on the street, and was also a little moved, so he glanced at Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaochi has always been indifferent to this kind of thing, so he nodded and said, "Then let's go, but don't lose the mother-in-law and maids around everyone." Although the security of Baihe Town is not bad, it is also full of people after all. ”

Ren Yaoyu interrupted happily and impatiently: "I still have to say this!" These people don't dare to follow us! ”

So a few people took a bunch of mothers-in-law and maids to the street behind Guan Gong Temple.

Ren Yaoting and Han You walked in front of each other, Ren Yaoyu took her maids and maids to walk around the roadside stalls, and bought more than a dozen lamps for the people behind to take back.

Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua walked together.

"Third sister, don't you want to buy lights?" Ren Yaochi asked.

"If you want it, you can buy it yourself, I don't want it. Where do you want to hang it when you bring it back? "Ren Yaohua is just looking at the excitement and is not interested in the lamp.

Ren Yaochi just asked casually, she was still thinking about the painting in her heart, thinking that no matter what the painting was, she had to find a way to get it back.

The two walked wordlessly all the way, and when they were about to reach the back street, they met a team of dancing dragons, and the crowd all rushed over to this side, and Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua stopped outside the crowd and watched for a while.

"Huh? What about the seven sisters? Ren Yaohua looked at it and asked suddenly.

Ren Yaoqi also looked around, his eyes were full of people, but there was no figure of those three people.

"I guess I squeezed to the front." Ren Yaochi said uncertainly.

Ren Yaohua looked for it again, but there were too many people in front of them, where could they see who was who.

"Forget it, they must go and see the Nine Curved Dragon Gate Lantern Array, let's go there and wait for them."

Ren Yaochi nodded, no opinion.

The two of them bypassed the lively crowd and went to the place where they were arranged.

The Jiuqu Longmen Lantern Array is placed on a flat ground behind the Guangong Temple, about two acres wide, and is poured into an ice wall of about seven feet with water, and there are 360 lamps in it. There is only one entrance and one exit for the entire light array. People who don't understand the formation go in, no matter how they go around, they will go around from the entrance and then come out, which is the peculiarity of the Jiuqu Longmen Lantern Array.

Putting up this kind of light array is time-consuming, laborious and costly.

When Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua walked to the entrance, they saw that there were already some people watching the excitement, but there were few people who really dared to go in and try, and everyone was afraid that they would not be able to get around.

"This light array is so beautiful!" The maids said happily.

The ice lantern array was reflected by the lights like crystal, and Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be stunned.

"Isn't that the son of the Han family?" Parsley suddenly pointed not far away.

"Huh? The third son is also there? Parsley added in hindsight.

Ren Yaochi looked up, and sure enough, he saw Han Yunqian and Ren Yijun standing outside the lamp array and talking. It's no wonder that Parsley only saw Han Yunqian at a glance, although he was not very old, he had a quiet temperament and outstanding demeanor. Ren Yijun's delicate appearance and gloomy temperament were naturally compared to him.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help frowning, didn't Ren Yijun mismatch with Han Yunqian? How did the two end up here together?

After thinking about it, Ren Yaoqi said to Ren Yaohua: "Since you have met Lu Lu, you should go and say hello." ”

Ren Yaohua did not object, and the two walked in front of Ren Yijun and Han Yunqian.

I happened to hear Ren Yijun say: "If you can come out within a quarter of an hour, I will believe you, how about it?" ”

Han Yunqian was about to speak, when he raised his eyes and saw the two sisters.

"Yao Qi, you're here too?" Ren Yijun turned a blind eye to Ren Yaohua, and only greeted Ren Yaoqi, and his attitude was very friendly.

Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua bowed down, and Han Yunqian returned the salute.

Ren Yaochi smiled and said to Ren Yijun: "I wanted to invite the third brother to come and see the lights before, but I heard that you have already gone out, so it turned out that you were with Han Gongzi?" ”

Ren Yijun rolled his eyes: "Who came with him?" It just happened to meet at a friend's party. I said that I wanted to come and see the Jiuqu Longmen Lantern Array, and he also wanted to come and see, so he came with him. ”
