The huge fire dragon roared unscrupulously between the pavilions and halls, and the huge Forbidden City was illuminated by the dazzling firelight.

Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen never thought that a moment ago he was still sitting in Kyushu and looking down on the world's Ninety-Five Emperor, but in the next second he was about to become a sad and lamentable king of the dead country.

He didn't understand why his fourth uncle could be so resolute, although he advocated cutting the domain, but he never thought of taking the lives of these imperial uncles, as long as they could keep their own peace, they and their descendants would be able to enjoy glory and wealth forever, even if they learned the news of Zhu Di's rebellion, he also ordered his subordinates not to hurt their lives. However, King Yan has become even more violent, and today he is pointing directly at the palace gate.

Historical experience tells Zhu Yunwen that in today's situation, either you die or I die between him and Zhu Di, and they will inevitably not be able to coexist. What is the magic of that throne? Can a person become so frustrated that he can draw a knife against his blood relatives?

He regretted it. When the three brothers Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochu, and Zhu Gaosui came to Beijing to worship Emperor Taizu on behalf of their father, they had the opportunity to detain them in Beijing. But he listened to Huang Zicheng's opinion and released the three brothers back to Beiping.

He regretted why he had the kindness of a woman, and said to Geng Bingwen, who led the army, "Please don't let me be charged with killing my uncle." "On the battlefield, mercy to the enemy will undoubtedly lead to a catastrophe from which you will never recover.

He regretted why he didn't kill this shameless person after the defeat of Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo. Otherwise, Zhu Di would not be like a no-man's land when he crossed the Jinchuan Gate today. You may have a chance to fight back.

He hated. He hated his uncle for forcing him to such a field regardless of blood and kinship.

He hated that his subordinates were all people who tended to be inflammatory, and they usually looked righteous and awe-inspiring, swearing to die, but when it came to a critical moment, they had already disappeared without a trace.

He hated his grandfather, why did he kill all those generals who protected the country and the country, so that when he faced King Yan, he had no generals.

He hated this thief God, why did he choose to ascend to this supreme position himself, but sent another person to deprive him of all this. If he had known that it was the end of today, he would rather have given up this throne in the first place.

But all this remorse and unwillingness will eventually be burned in the raging fire, the big pillars in the hall hissed under the erosion of the flames, Queen Ma held the right hand of Emperor Jianwen in one hand, and hugged her six-year-old son Zhu Wenkui in the other hand. She is not afraid of death, and when she first met the man in front of her, she had already decided that this man would be her everything.

When he was brilliant, she once accompanied him to reign in the world, and now he is about to fail, although it is impossible to make a comeback with him, but to go to Huangquan together, flying with wings may not be a beautiful thing in the world.

Therefore, when Zhu Yunwen set the palace on fire, she didn't say a word, just silently walked to the man's side and gently held his hand. It's just that he has pity on his child, and he has not yet tried the beauty of the world, so he will die like this. I hope that in the next life I will not grow up in the emperor's house again. "Ahem, ahem......" She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed softly. Then he didn't say a word, but quietly clenched the handkerchief that had left a touch of red.

"Queen, I'm sorry for you!" Zhu Yunwen turned his head and said softly to the queen. "The concubine is not bitter, and meeting the emperor in this life is the greatest happiness of the concubine." Memories are like a floodgate, and once opened, thoughts are like a rolling flood, out of control.

As the imperial capital, Ying Tianfu has always been prosperous in commerce and trade, and the people are full of voices. "Boss, how much is this Zhang Zeduan's "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival"?" "Childe, you really have a vision, at a glance you took a fancy to the treasure of the store, this "Qingming Riverside Map" is my ancestor from the Song Dynasty Palace people spent a lot of money to buy, this is a priceless treasure. But today I have a fate with Childe, so I will sell it to Childe for 100,000 taels. The boss of Zhenbao Zhai said with a smile to the young man in front of him, he was afraid that the young man would not believe it, and specially compiled the origin of this painting.

In fact, he spent 50,000 taels to buy this painting from an antique dealer in Bianjing, and he had asked many calligraphy and painting masters to appraise it, although one of them had raised doubts, but the others came to the same conclusion: this painting is the authentic work of Zhang Zeduan, a master of painting and calligraphy in the Northern Song Dynasty. That's why he kept the painting in the most prominent position in the store.

However, the merchant was profit-seeking, and he always believed that if the painting had been purchased directly from the court, its authenticity would be more doubtful and the price would be higher. That's why I got the previous rhetoric. Jumbo Zhai is the most famous antique shop in the capital, there are countless rare treasures in it, and many dignitaries are frequent customers of this store. However, this young man in front of him was the first time he had seen it, but judging from his clothes and demeanor, this person must be either rich or expensive. Therefore, the boss was very polite to Zhu Yunwen, who visited Weifu.

Zhu Yunwen nodded to his entourage, and the entourage took out a large stack of silver tickets from his arms. Looking at the pile of silver tickets, the eyes of the boss of Zhenbaozhai suddenly lit up.

"Wait." Just as the two sides were about to make a deal, a slender hand pressed against the pile of silver tickets. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the direction of the sound.

The person who said this was a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, skin like congealed cream, and a faint fragrance exuding from the light veil. There was a woman who looked like a maid next to her, and it seemed that she should be a small official family. I don't know why, when Zhu Yunwen saw this young lady for the first time, he couldn't help but think of "green eyebrows, delicate and far-reaching, green sideburns, and thick spring smoke." Such verses.

"This ...... What do you mean, this young lady? The boss of Zhenbao Zhai, who was disturbed by the good things, wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw the woman in front of him wearing clothes, he had to suppress the anger in his heart and asked wistfully.

"Your picture is fake." The woman said.

"Miss, you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense. My ancestor bought this painting from the Song Dynasty palace people, how can you say that it is fake? The boss's face became even more ugly.

"I don't know where you got this painting, but I know that the real "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" is hidden in the palace. If this painting is genuine, then your painting should be stolen from the palace. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, those who steal the finances of the palace will be executed by Ling Chi and exterminate the three clans. Even if you didn't steal this painting, if you dare to take out the things in the palace and sell them, you can't guarantee that you won't end up with your head on the ground. I advise you to pack up this ominous thing as soon as possible. The woman's words were sonorous and powerful, as if she had seen the real thing.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but increase his interest in the woman in front of him. As the lord of the East Palace, of course, he knew that at this time, the real "Qingming Riverside Map" was still stored in the palace. So why did he spend so much money on a fake?

The reason lies in the North Korean envoy who will arrive in Beijing three days later. After the establishment of the Korean regime, the Goryeo general Yi Sung-gye continued to implement a policy of great affairs against the Ming, although the Hongwu Emperor believed that Li Sung-gye had not been properly appointed to the throne, and his personal opinion of Yi Sung-gye was not high. However, in view of his pro-Ming attitude, he still passively recognized the legitimacy of Li Chenggui's regime. Since then, the Joseon Dynasty has replaced the Goryeo Dynasty as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, paying tribute every year. In order to show the prestige of the Celestial Empire, Zhu Yuanzhang also rewarded a lot of gifts every time.

However, in recent years, because Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Li Chenggui had sent people to pretend to be Japanese robbers to plunder the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Chenggui's gratitude table contained insulting words, the relationship between the two countries fell into a tense situation. This time, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an ultimatum to North Korea, asking Li Chenggui to send his son to escort the thieves who had invaded the Ming Dynasty coast confessed by the pirate Hu De into Beijing. Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself that if Li Chenggui did what he ordered, then the relationship between the two countries would be restored, and if Li Chenggui disobeyed, then the Ming Iron Cavalry would set foot on the Korean Peninsula within a few days.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect Li Chenggui to respond so quickly, in the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Li Chenggui sent his fifth son Li Fang's distant relatives to lead an envoy to the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, who learned the news, found Zhu Yunwen and asked him to prepare this tribute return. This is the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang has asked him to deal with foreign affairs since Zhu Yunwen became the emperor's grandson, but what happened before may still make Zhu Yuanzhang feel like a fish in his throat, Zhu Yuanzhang put forward a request to Zhu Yunwen: rise and descend secretly, and do not lose the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

"The light rises and the darkness falls, and it does not lose the prestige of the Ming Dynasty?" This is a bit embarrassing for Zhu Yunwen. That said, you can't give you some gold, silver, jewelry, and silk as usual. Otherwise, once the number is wrong, a discerning person will see it at a glance. Since we can't do anything about "quantity", we can only focus on "quality".

There were many eunuchs in the palace who were from North Korea, and Zhu Yunwen learned from them that Li Fangyuan loved calligraphy and painting as much as he did. Do you love calligraphy and painting? Then send one to him, but of course the calligraphy and painting in the palace is not feasible, otherwise it will run counter to Zhu Yuanzhang's vision, since the palace is not good, then simply go around the palace to see if you can find something suitable.

Zhu Yunwen took a fancy to Zhen Bao Zhai's "Qingming Riverside Picture" at first sight, and the painting of this painting is superb, not inferior to the real work in the palace. It can be said that if the two paintings are put together, even treasure connoisseurs can hardly tell who is real and who is fake. Although the price of this painting is not very cheap, the 100,000 taels of silver is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket compared to the money previously awarded to the Korean mission. So without hesitation, he ordered his men to buy the painting. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a little girl.

But why did she know about the palace? Looking at her appearance, she is definitely not a palace maid. Also, who is she?
