Qing Yan

Inside the Hall of Fong Xian.

Two beautiful people, one big and one small.

This is the first time Yunrui has come to this place——

There is an entire wall in the main hall, and several secondary shrines are placed in the order of Zhao Mu.There are portraits in each niche.In front of the shrine is a red sandalwood confession case, on which there are various incense burners, clean bottles, sacrifices, and ritual vessels.

Yun Rui sniffed and smelled, there seemed to be a faint sandalwood fragrance in the air.

It must have been offering incense just now, right?she thinks.

This 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, were heroic or stingy, kind or harsh, and their souls stayed here forever for future generations to remember and admire.

Bold and mischievous as Yun Rui, in this solemn place, especially when he glanced at the portraits with a sense of different ages, he couldn't help restraining himself.

Jing Yan led Yun Rui, saluted, offered incense, and prayed again in front of the shrine of Yuwen's ancestor in the middle.

complete.She waved away her followers, leaving only Bingbi and Shimo to serve.

The temple door was closed.

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

At this time, in this hall, there are only them and the spirits of their ancestors as companions.This made Yun Rui feel a sense of sacredness.From the moment she stepped into the Forbidden Palace until now, she truly felt that she was a "descendant of the Yuwen family".

Jing Yan took a deep look at her increasingly serious little face, his heart widened, and he led her to a god.

Jing Yan took a deep breath, took three sticks of incense from Bingbi, lit them, and held them high above his head with a dignified expression.

Inserting three sticks of incense into the censer in front of the god, Jing Yan bowed his knees on the futon in front of the shrine.After kneeling three times and knocking nine times, he stood up solemnly and stood aside.

Yun Rui watched A-sao's actions for a moment, she was even more respectful than in front of Yuwen's ancestral altar, she was very curious.

Staring wide-eyed, Yun Rui stared at the ornate and intricately carved tablet in front of the shrine——

What a long list of titles!

Hetian Hongyun Wenwu Ruigong...

Yun Rui impatiently looked at the long list of posthumous titles, and went straight to the end.

So it became clear——

It turned out that this was the niche for the God of Emperor Gaozu.

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

"A Rui!" Jing Yan finished his salute and called her softly.

Yun Rui shivered, and turned his attention back to the tablet.

"Kneel down!" Jing Yan said concisely.

These two simple words reminded Yun Rui that in Kuntai Palace, the sister-in-law ordered the "little crazy girl" Jing Jiayue in the same way.

In Kuntai Palace before, sister-in-law really stood out for herself.This gave Yunrui a sense of accomplishment for the first time that "I am the future emperor".Thinking that he was about to be bowed down by the people of the whole Dazhou, thinking of the extremely domineering Jing Jiayue, and the guards of honor of the dignitaries and dignitaries he saw when he was watching the excitement in the village... They all had to respect him, the vanity of a child The heart was greatly satisfied, and even the little head was smoky.

At this moment, Yun Rui suddenly felt frustrated when she heard that sister-in-law asked him to "kneel down", as if there was a hint of hesitation in her tone.

She pursed her thin lips and hesitated for a moment.But after thinking about it, it was not someone else who bowed down to him, but Emperor Gaozu, a wise and wise heroine, and he felt a little relieved.

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

However, she has not forgotten her "stance", her small body is still upright.

Seeing that she paused and knelt down, Jing Yan looked neither humble nor overbearing, and he understood what she was thinking in her heart. She was helpless and funny, but her face remained solemn.

"A Rui, do you know who you are kneeling at the moment?"

"I know. It's Emperor Gaozu." The clear child's voice echoed in the spacious hall.

Jing Yan nodded: "From today, Ah Rui must remember: for the king, kneel to the sky, kneel to the ground, and kneel to ancestors and parents in the middle. However, except for solemn occasions, in the past, Ah Rui didn't have to pay respects to the Queen Mother and her elders." Kneel down. However, for Emperor Gaozu, Ah Rui must respect and value him, always keep the teachings of Gaozu in his heart, learn from them, practice them, and be a great emperor like Gaozu."

Yun Rui heard Jing Yan's solemn words in his ears, and couldn't help but look up at the portrait in the alcove——

The woman in the painting is heroic, with a red robe and silver Kai, holding a silver gun in her plain hand, and a long sword behind her back, only the hilt of which is exposed on her shoulder.She has a slender body like bamboo, a face like a jade crown, and piercing eyes. A bright red headband is tied on her full forehead, and her blue hair is flying.Its appearance is like a fairy, and its nature is just like the god of war coming to the world. It is exciting to watch, but it is heartbreaking.

Is this what Gao Zu looked like?

Yun Rui choked for breath, a heart was beating wildly in her left chest cavity, and the turmoil from the depths of her blood was shaking her mind and soul.

Gaozu!Gaozu!What a style!

That demeanor is different from the masculinity of a man, and also different from the femininity of a woman.How to describe it?Yun Rui really couldn't think of it.She couldn't even think about it.At this moment, she was impressed by her!I am even more proud of being a descendant of Gaozu!

"A Rui?"

Jing Yan's call brought back 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 said just now?"

Yun Rui nodded habitually, and then asked dissatisfied: "Gaozu...does Gaozu really look like this?"

Jing Yan paused, and looked up at the portrait: "It is said that this portrait was painted by the painter according to Gao Zu's appearance when he was young in battle. Gao Zu has always been unconstrained by the world, and it was her old man who asked him to hang this portrait in the future It is in Fengxian Hall. It is said that even after a hundred years, future generations should remember the hardships of their ancestors in the battle, and firmly remember that "it is difficult to conquer the country, and it is even more difficult to sit on the country."

Yun Rui recalled all the portraits that he had browsed just now, all of them were dragon robes, crowns, awe-inspiring, sitting upright, it was boring to look at, where is the portrait of Gaozu so refreshing?

"Gaozu is really kind!" She fixed her eyes with longing.

Jing Yan felt relieved.If A Rui respected Gao Zu so much, he would follow Gao Zu's teachings, which was far more deeply rooted in her heart than pure preaching.

After all, Yun Rui was a child at heart, so he couldn't help but said again: "Gao Zu is much prettier than these male emperors!"

Jing Yan secretly laughed that it was unseemly for her to say "male emperor", but the childish admiration was obvious.

With a relaxed mind, Jing Yan said with a faint smile: "Women are inherently more delicate than men. What's more, Emperor Gaozu's appearance is outstanding."

Yun Rui blinked, and suddenly remembered the story of Ziyang Zhenren in "Shanchuan Luezhi" that he hadn't finished the day before yesterday, and couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law, what does Ziyang Zhenren look like?"

When Jing Yan heard this, he shivered, "Why do you ask this?"

Seeing her complexion changed slightly, Yun Rui turned to her face when she didn't understand, and said, "Ziyang Zhenren is Gaozu's niece, didn't he say 'an adopted daughter is like a family aunt'?"

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

Yun Rui had a longing look on his face.

Jing Yan suddenly remembered the "Shanchuan Luezhi" that he saw on the desk at Yun's house and hadn't closed it in time, and his expression turned cold.

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

Yun Rui was still lingering in Ziyang's real story, he was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "Sister-in-law said she offended the crown prince."

"That's right," Jing Yan nodded, "but she wasn't the only one who made a mistake."

Yun Rui was stunned, only to find out that after he paid homage to Gaozu, Auntie didn't let him get up.so--

The one who is wrong is yourself, right?

"A Rui, do you know what's wrong with you?" Jing Yan asked seriously.

What's wrong?

Yun Rui was confused.

If in the past at home, I had a fight with other children and my elder sister taught me, it was because I shouldn't fight.But right now, I am the crown prince, the future emperor!That little crazy girl Jing Jiayue was lashing at her after seeing her clothes, so she was wrong first.I...what's wrong with me?

Jing Yan looked at her ignorant look, and simply went straight to the point: "A Rui's mistake is that he lost his sense of proportion."

Seeing Yun Rui's faint expression, Yun Rui was secretly startled, knowing that Sister-in-law was serious, so she repeated politely: "Proper measure..."

"Exactly. A ruler has his own sense of propriety, how can he be like a rascal in the market and fight with the daughter of his courtier?" Jing Yan said solemnly.

"But..." Yun Rui defended himself unwillingly, "But... she hit me first!"

"Even so, as a respected person, you can't easily be as knowledgeable as her."

"Then, then...then I can't let her beat me?" Yun Rui frowned, stuck her neck, not convinced.

Jing Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "A Rui, you are a king, she is a minister, you are respected, she is humble, if you seriously care about her, how will the ministers and workers see it? How will the people in the world see it?"

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

"As a king, every move is related to the world. 'Under the world, is it the king's land', since you are the emperor, you are always an example for the people of the world, and the entire Great Zhou Empire is watching you!"

Yun Rui remained silent.She never thought that to be an emperor would have to care so much about other people's opinions.

Jing Yan continued earnestly and continued: "Since you are a king, there are naturally people around you to serve you and obey your orders. For example, when you encounter Yueer's rudeness, you can ask your servants and followers to deal with it, and you can bring out the monarch. Even, someone called the courtiers and ordered them to deal with it. This is their duty, and it is also your pride."

Attendants, courtiers, responsibilities, pride...

The more Yun Rui listened, the more anxious he became, his small fists were clenched tightly, and he said out of nowhere: "Being an emperor is troublesome! If I had known this, I should have left to find my master that day!"

Jing Yan was startled, who would have expected her to say these words suddenly.

Her delicate body shook, and she stared at the small figure in front of her in disbelief, angry and bitter in her heart: "A Rui...you actually said such words in front of Gaozu's throne! Is it troublesome to be an emperor? How did you agree to me? You are so... so... Can you live up to your brother's expectations? Can you live up to Gaozu's legacy?"

As soon as Yun Rui said that, he regretted it.She was usually a "character" among the children, but now she is "the crown prince", with golden words, how can she take back what she said?

She was ashamed of this, so she could only tighten her lips and watch Jing Yan's color change.

Bing Bi and Shi Mo looked at each other, and both sensed that the atmosphere was not right.

Jing Yan felt sad at this moment, and his eyes fell on the side of the hall——

There, a new niche will be erected in a short time, and her philosopher will become the "first emperor" forever and ever...

Gritting his teeth, suppressing the tears welling up, Jing Yan lowered his head and looked at Yun Rui's immature face. There used to be such a small face, staring at him so intently...

She was a child, a child...

Jing Yan gasped, and then gasped again, the anger and grief hitting his forehead subsided slightly.

This kid is out-of-the-box, unreasonable, and smart and thoughtful.This should be a good thing for the emperor.

However, jade cannot be cut, and it cannot be used——

Jing Yan made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "At such a young age, he speaks disrespectfully, acts and speaks disrespectfully, and deserves to be punished! So he knelt before the God-Lord Gaozu! When will I know my mistakes, and when will I get up again!"

After all, as soon as he turned around, he was about to leave.

Bing Bi and Shi Mo looked at each other: Master, is this really going to punish His Highness Rui?

The author has something to say: Ah Rui is still a child and needs time to grow up, so it will inevitably make Auntie angry.
