The Struggle History of Idols

Chapter 109 Guessing the Riddle

Director's group: "In order to take care of foreign friends, we will complete this round of tasks in a collaborative manner. The six guests will be divided into two groups for PK."

"To save time, we have already divided the teams. Group A Xiao Yue, Cai Zhiwen and Yin Tianyi, and Group B Jiang Yitong, Le Peng and Nick."

After hearing that, Nick breathed a sigh of relief, "Great. I thought I was going to die."

"Inside and outside the imperial city, our program team has arranged many Xuande furnaces, but only one is real. Whichever team finds the real one first wins."

The director team introduced the rules, "We have all the clues and materials that can help you find the real Xuande furnace. The way to get clues is to guess lantern riddles. Of course, these clues are not completely useful. Can you get the right one? Your useful clues are all down to luck."

I heard that the expressions of many guests were a little pessimistic. Is the program group trying to punish them?

The director team smiled, "The best way is to get as many clues as possible."

"Guests, please come forward and check the lantern riddles, and write down the correct answers one by one on the question board."

Hearing the words of the director team, a group of people swarmed up.

"Zhongni Riyue (named one of the ancients)."

Yin Tianyi felt confused after reading the first question.He just felt that the word "Zhongni" looked very familiar. He seemed to have learned it in Chinese class before. What is it?

Before he could figure it out, Xiao Yue was already writing the answer to the second question.

Yin Tianyi looked at the answer to the first question he wrote curiously. It turned out to be Kong Ming?

He thought for a while, isn't Zhongni the name of Confucius?Isn't the combination of the sun and the moon "bright"?

When he recalled, Xiao Yue had already filled in all the remaining answers.The speed made Yin Tianyi and Cai Zhiwen dumbfounded.

They originally wanted to try their best to guess the lantern riddles, but they didn't expect that Xiao Yue was too capable to give them this chance.

Xiao Yue handed over the answers to the director team, and the staff checked and finally confirmed: "All are correct."

After speaking, I handed him six kits, plus a purse containing silver, "All the clues are here, and the silver is also here. I wish you to find the Xuande stove as soon as possible."

The fast progress of group A made group B jealous, but no matter how anxious they were, they couldn't eat hot tofu, and they couldn't get the tips if they couldn't solve the lantern riddles, so they could only watch group A take the lead.

The members of group A who got the kit left the starting point of the mission and found a quiet place to check the kit to find clues.

Cai Zhiwen punched in one of the kits and carefully read out the words on the note with substandard Hong Kong general: "There is an inscription on the bottom of the outer furnace printed in the year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty". He font, the "heart" on the right side of the word "de" saves a horizontal line, which is called "saving one virtue", which is said to avoid Ming Xuanzong's taboo."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yue opened three kits one after another, and the contents inside were all a bunch of descriptions about the appearance of the Xuande stove.Similar to the words "open mouth, flat belly".

Yin Tianyi opened the fifth kit, "Xuande Furnace is a copper incense burner that was designed and supervised by Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty in the third year of Xuande. Yang Rong, who was an official at the time and also served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was ordered to be in charge of the casting, and Wu Bangzuo, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, specifically implemented it. A total of 3000 pieces were cast, and the furnace has been closed since then."

After reading it, he couldn't help but frown. The content of this kit is to introduce what the Xuande furnace is, and it feels useless to complete their mission.

Thinking about it, he opened the last tip, "Most of these copper incense burners are displayed in the palace, and a small part was rewarded by Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty to ministers, relatives of the emperor, and temples with strong incense."

While reading, Yin Tianyi suddenly realized: "We don't need to go to the market to waste our energy now. This thing was made by the royal family, and now it is the Ming Dynasty. How can ordinary people have the opportunity to see this thing?"

"That is to say, we only need to go to this palace to find the Xuande furnace?" Cai Zhiwen asked puzzled.

"No." Xiao Yue shook his head, "If we were only looking for the program group in the palace, we wouldn't have to spend so much time to let us play lantern riddles. Besides, the palace is too big, we can't find it in one day, There must be other clues."

"Could it be at the temple or where the royal relatives, princes and ministers are?"

When the two of them bowed their heads in thought, Yin Tianyi, who was playing with the kit bag, suddenly said in surprise: "Look, there is something in this kit!"

When they heard that, they turned their heads to check, and saw that Yin Tianyi had turned all the kit bags inside out, and saw a word embroidered on the inside of each kit bag.

"'Yang Dongsan', 'Auxiliary Government'... what the hell? I don't understand." Cai Zhiwen used her imagination, "Do we want us to find someone named Yang Dongsan? Then ask him to help the emperor assist the government ?”

"Impossible." Xiao Yue expressed his disapproval. "There must be other meanings. Is the order of the words wrong?"

I heard that Yin Tianyi seemed to have thought of something.He lowered his head to examine the colors of the kits carefully, and found that each of them was a different color.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue...

While thinking, Yin Tianyi arranged the kits in the order of the colors.So the six words that were originally unclear became-"Sanyang Fuzheng East".

Cai Zhiwen glanced at it, then shook her head, "I still don't understand."

At this moment, Xiao Yue couldn't help but widen his eyes and slapped his thigh, happily said: "I understand!"

Cai Zhiwen looked at him puzzled: "What do you understand?"

Xiao Yue didn't answer but gave Yin Tianyi a bear hug when he came up, and praised: "Xiao Yi, you really are a koi in the world!"

Yin Tianyi: "?"

"'Three Yang Fuzheng' refers to the three auxiliary cabinet ministers surnamed Yang in the early Ming Dynasty—Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and Yang Pu!"

Cai Zhiwen: "What?"

Yin Tianyi: "... have no culture, don't know."

Xiao Yue: "..."

The photographer following the photo almost collapsed with laughter. This is the first time I have seen such an idol who admits that he is uneducated.

Cai Zhiwen said: "I know 'Sanyang Fuzheng', but what about the last two words? What does 'Zhidong' mean?"

Xiao Yue smiled when he heard this, and explained: "These three Yangs did not come from the same place. According to their locations, people called them Xiyang, Dongyang and Nanyang respectively. And this Dongyang happened to refer to It’s Yang Rong whose hometown is Jian’an, Fujian.”

"So, the note in this kit is only used to confuse us, and the real Xuande furnace should be in Yang Rong's house?" Yin Tianyi understood the truth, pointing out the truth.

"Yes." Xiao Yue explained: "According to historical records, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty really liked to reward people with things, and often rewarded ministers with their own calligraphy and paintings."

"In addition to what was written in the note just now, the Xuande stove was supervised by Yang Rong, and a small part of the Xuande stove was indeed rewarded by Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty to the courtiers and royal relatives. So it is not uncommon for Yang Rong to have the Xuande stove. strangeness."

After figuring out the riddle, the three of them immediately went to find Yang Rong's mansion without wasting time.

As the capital city, Shuntian Mansion is naturally very lively.There is a lot of traffic, the roads are wide and extend in all directions, and there are people coming and going, some selling gadgets with poles, some selling food on the side of the street, and even government officials passing by on horseback.

After seeing this bustling scene, all the guests couldn't help thinking of what Le Peng complained about the lack of production funds for the program group.

How can this be insufficient funds?All the funds were used to hire group performers and rent props and venues, right?

"In such a big place, we don't know the way and don't have a map. How can we find it?" Cai Zhiwen couldn't help crying.

Yin Tianyi said: "We can ask for directions."

As he spoke, he walked up to a small stall selling fried cakes and asked with a smile, "Boss, how do you sell this fried cake?"

Everyone: "..."

Didn't you mean to ask for directions?What's the matter with you running to ask people how to sell fried cakes?

The stall owner was very enthusiastic. When he saw the visitor, he hurriedly greeted him: "Three pennies a piece."

As he said that, he began to sell melons to Wang Po and boasted, "Our fried cakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are famously delicious on this street, and many people buy them!"

The fried cakes are just out of the oven, the color is golden and fragrant, and they are delicious at first glance.

Yin Tianyi touched his empty stomach, just as he was about to take out the money, he suddenly remembered that the purse containing the taels of silver seemed to be at Xiao Yue's place.

So I saw him rubbing his stomach and looking at Xiao Yue anxiously, "Can I buy one and try it? Your human koi is hungry."

Seeing this, Xiao Yue couldn't help but sighed, and reluctantly stepped forward to pay the bill, "Take three. I happen to be hungry too, so we each have one."

The owner of the fried cakes who had made a business happily wrapped the fried cakes for them and handed them over, saying: "Guests, if you like it, come back next time. Mr. Yang just likes my fried cakes very much. Every now and then, it's just a matter of time." People come to buy."

I heard that a group of people stopped their movements.

"Master Yang?" Xiao Yue asked tentatively, "Who are you talking about, Master Yang?"

The stall owner said with a smile: "It is Mr. Yang Rongyang who is also a young master, minister of the Ministry of Industry, and a bachelor of the Jinshen Palace!"

Everyone: Surprised face jpg.

It's really hard to find a place to go through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it!What is this called?There are no useless NPCs in the world!

Luck couldn't stop it, and Yin Tianyi's koi brilliance once again blessed this group.

"Then do you know how to get to Lord Yang Rong's house?" Xiao Yue asked hastily.

"I know." The stall owner smiled and pointed to the front, "Go straight along this road, turn right when you see a big tree, and walk one street forward."

Hearing that, Xiao Yue nodded.Yin Tianyi finished the last bite of fried cake and asked, "How long will it take to walk from here to Mr. Yang's residence?"

The owner of the fried cake stall said: "It's not far away. If you walk from here, it will take about a stick of incense to get there."

Yin Tianyi wiped his mouth and asked casually: "... How long has it been for a stick of incense?"

Xiao Yue silently replied: "Almost half an hour."

Hearing this, Yin Tianyi couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Is this not far away?"

After finishing speaking, he said urgently: "Let's hurry up! What if Group B also knows the secret of the kit, and they get ahead of us?"

At this moment, the NPC who had been quietly acting as the owner of the fried cake stall laughed and said, "Do any of the guests need a carriage? The shop can provide rental cars and horses. The price is not expensive, and there is no deception."

Three people: black question mark face jpg.

Aren't you the owner of a fried cake shop?Changing careers so soon?
