Huang Zhen Huang Yushi was touring the temple with two followers.
This Taoist temple was built by Zhu Bai, King of Xiang. Zhu Bai believed in Taoism and gave himself a Taoist name "Zixuzi". This Taoist temple built with money from Zhu Bai has five main halls, side halls, and left and right halls.
, the scale is magnificent, the palace is tall. The carved beams and painted buildings in the palace are shining, and the locals call it "Little Golden Dome" and "Sai Wudang", it is very spectacular.
Huang Zhen stood in front of a white wall with a poem on it, chanting sentence by sentence: "Zhang Xuanxuan, the love god. In the morning, I drink the clear stream of Jiudu, and in the evening, I stay in the purple smoke of Nanyan. I don't know how many years have passed since the good mountain calamity, but it doesn't match the scenery."
I moved with them. I looked up to the empty mountain and couldn't find it. It was so sad!"
This poem "Poetry in Praise of Zhang Zhenxian" was written by Zhu Bai. He believed in Taoism and once went to Wudang Mountain to look for Zhang Sanfeng. Unfortunately, he did not see the real person. He wrote this poem in melancholy because Taihui Temple was funded by Zhu Bai, King of Hunan.
The owner of the temple carved the great protector's poem on the wall.
Huang Zhen chanted it several times, but couldn't find anything to criticize, so he went around to the main hall. There was a row of dragon pillars in the main hall. Huang Zhen started thinking again and thought to himself: "In the Taoist temple, there are dragon pillars built in the temple."
Dragon's Pillar, I don't know if this is overstepping the rules. Hmm... I'll write it down first and then go back and consult my colleagues in the Ministry of Rites."
Huang Zhen was thinking about it, and a postman hurried in. When he saw Huang Zhen, he said: "Oh, Mr. Huang, you are really here. The villain has been looking for you for a long time."
Huang Zhen asked: "What's the matter?"
The postman came closer and said in a low voice: "Someone is coming from the capital. It's Mr. Yuan Tai, Yuan Tai, Yuan Yuan, the Imperial Envoy of the Zuodu Procuratorate. He ordered me to fetch Mr. Huang back immediately. We have something important to discuss with you."
Huang Zhen was surprised and hurriedly followed the postman outside.
When Huang Zhen came, he was promoted and promoted by the imperial court, and his ambition for an official career became enthusiastic again. This time, Zhu Yunwen sent twenty-four angels to patrol the world. On the surface, they were to inspect and punish corrupt officials, but secretly they were punished.
Secret instructions were given to them, asking them to search for evidence of the crimes of the vassal kings in various places to provide moral evidence for the reduction of the vassal. This time Huang Zhen was very different from the previous time when he visited Jinan to be a puppet. He immediately rushed to Jingzhou, hoping to make the first contribution.
, gained the emperor's favor.
Huang Zhen came well prepared, and he really got some clues about King Xiang. When he arrived in Jingzhou, he first had to visit King Xiang. When he arrived at Prince Xiang's Mansion, he unexpectedly found that in the main hall of Prince Xiang's Mansion, there were corner doors on both sides of the gate.
, there were originally seven main gates, and if you include the corner gate, there would be nine gates. Nine is the ultimate number, the system of the emperor. As if Huang Zhen had found a treasure, he immediately wrote down this crime and rushed it to the capital.
However, he estimated that the Palace of Prince Xiang only opened two more doors, which might not be enough to punish Prince Xiang, so he has been wandering around Jingzhou these days, hoping to find more powerful evidence about Prince Xiang. However, Prince Xiang is very popular in Jingzhou.
Well, there was nothing illegal. Huang Zhen had no other choice but to work hard on institutional arrogance.
He thought that since the King of Xiang did not pay attention to these institutional rules when building the gate, there might be problems with other buildings. However, he realized that it was not possible for him to enter the Prince of Xiang's Mansion whenever he wanted, so he had to find some buildings funded by the King of Xiang.
Work was being done on the city's buildings, but the capital sent people here at this time. Could it be that the charges listed in the last memorial were enough to convict King Xiang?
Huang Zhen thought about it all the way and hurried back to the post house to meet Yuan Tai, the imperial envoy.
When the servants served tea, Yuan Tai withdrew, leaving only Huang Zhen alone. He said with a genuine smile: "Sir Huang, you have done a good job in Jingzhou. You were recommended by me to serve as the supervisory envoy of Hubei Province.
This time you have made a great contribution, and I am very proud of myself in front of the emperor."
Huang Zhen said in surprise: "It depends on the cultivation of your Majesty. Could it be that... the memorial submitted by the lower official has been adopted by Your Majesty?"
Yuan Tai twisted his beard and smiled and said: "Of course, if this were not the case, how could I appear here?"
He leaned forward slightly and said to Huang Zhen: "Nine Five, it symbolizes the dignity of the emperor. According to the regulations, non-emperors are not allowed to build a main house with a width of nine rooms. King Bai expanded the mansion and included nine concierges. This is the official office with the door in the middle.
The shape, the main building also has nine rooms, this is an overstep of the emperor's 'Nine Five' status, and this is a crime of 'great disrespect'! Scholars Fang and Huang unanimously agreed that this is enough to question the King of Xiang!"
The emperor called the palace, the feudal prince called the mansion, the officials called the house, and the common people called the home. The houses were built according to the hierarchy. This is the way of distinguishing the superior and the inferior. When King Bai opened two corner doors when expanding the palace, this was indeed an overstep.
However, whether it is considered a rebellion or not depends on the emperor's words. If it had been left to the Hongwu Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably have issued an order to reprimand his son, but Jianwen seemed to be justified in asking him about the crime of disrespect.
Yuan Tai added: "The King of Xiang is good at using force and has led troops. He has a good relationship with King Zhu Di of Yan. If the imperial court attacks Yan and the King of Xiang raises troops to respond, it will indeed be a serious problem for the imperial court. The imperial court has decided to use this as a basis to capture Xiang.
King. However, you also know that the last time the court punished the King of Zhou without teaching him, and rashly reduced the rank of King Qi and King Dai and imprisoned him, which caused a lot of criticism from both the government and the public, so this time the court decided to change its strategy."
Huang Zhen said nervously: "Sir, what does the court plan to do?"
Yuan Tai said confidently: "According to the imperial edict, he openly cross-examined and forced the King of Xiang to bow his head and confess his crime. In this way, it can show that the court is fair and the law is strict."
Huang Zhen twirled his beard and thought for a while, then said worriedly: "I have heard that King Xiang has a strong temper and is very brave. If he refuses to surrender, what should we do?"
Yuan Tai smiled sinisterly and said: "This encounter is a game of light and darkness. The imperial court has secretly sent warriors to Jingzhou disguised as traders and pawns, with weapons and armor hidden in trucks. When the time comes, they will suddenly surround
Prince Xiang's Mansion cut off all connections between Prince Xiang's Mansion and the outside world, and the three guards of Prince Xiang who lived outside the city also had no news.
Then, you and I will hold an imperial edict and go to the palace to interrogate the guilt and order the King of Xiang to hand in a confession. As long as the King of Xiang admits his guilt and writes it down in black and white, no matter what the court wants to do, he will be fair and aboveboard. If he dares to openly resist, hey, then he
The originally innocent person has become guilty. Wouldn't it be more righteous for the court to question him?"
"How damn insidious! No wonder I haven't been able to climb up. It turns out that my heart is not as dark as yours!"
Huang Zhen cursed secretly, and praised with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a great idea, it's really great!"

Zhu Bai is the twelfth son of Zhu Yuanzhang. He is twenty-eight years old this year. He is tall and handsome. He is a man of both civil and martial arts. He is very proficient in poetry, poetry and poetry, and is especially extraordinary in military strategy. Zhu Bai likes to read and often reads late into the night.
, he also built a Jingyuan Pavilion to recruit talents, collect ancient and original copies, proofread them, organize them, and re-copy them to prevent them from being extinct in the world.
At the same time, Zhu Bo had extraordinary physical strength, was good at bows, arrows, and swords, and was able to gallop as fast as a horse. He often had unexpected views on ancient military systems, past successes and failures. He had been ordered to lead troops to suppress rebellions three times. The first time was when an army surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
The Yuan soldiers of the DPRK attacked and planned to return to the outside of the Great Wall. Zhu Bai led his army to suppress the rebellion and defeated the Yuan army; the second time was the Wukai Barbarian rebellion. Zhu Bai cleverly used the differences within the barbarian army to divide and disintegrate without killing anyone.
, and successfully quelled the rebellion, subduing the enemy without fighting, which can be called the highest level of military use. The third time was to put down the rebellion of the Guzhou barbarians.
At this time, shortly after lunch, King Zhu Bai of Xiang was painting with a pen in his big hand that was so accustomed to using swords that the palms were calloused. What he painted was his youngest son, who was his concubine.
Born by Qin Yu. The Princess of Xiang was the daughter of the general Wu Gao, named Wu Xue. She gave birth to a daughter and a son for Prince Xiang. The Princess of Xiang was originally the wife chosen by Zhu Yuanzhang for the princes for the political purpose of winning over the courtiers, but this
Although Concubine Wu was not very beautiful in appearance, she was also a gentle, gentle, quiet and dignified woman, and was highly respected and loved by the King of Hunan.
As for the side concubine Qin Yu, she was a local woman whom the King of Hunan accepted after he conquered Jingzhou. She was extremely beautiful and graceful, and she was the most favored by him. The relationship between the two was also very strong. At this time, the youngest son had just passed away.
One hundred days ago, the concubine Qin Yu gave birth shortly after her birth, and her former slim and elegant figure had not yet fully recovered. At this time, she still felt slightly round and round, but she was like a ripe peach, becoming more and more charming.
Qin Yu held his beloved son and sat on the brocade pier. Zhu Bai splashed with ink and before his son cried impatiently, a lifelike picture of a child had been drawn.
Zhu Bai put down his pen and said with a smile: "My beloved concubine, come and see how the portrait I painted for my son looks like."
Qin Yu picked up his son, walked to the case, and looked down. He saw a fat baby on the paper, with pink makeup, arms and thighs like lotus joints, and a small mouth. He looked cute and naive. In Zhu Bai's writing,
This baby is so lively that it almost wants to leap out of the paper. Its facial features, facial features, and dynamic expression are just like the beloved child in your arms.
Qin Yu couldn't help but smile sweetly, looked back and said softly: "People say that Your Highness is good at painting babies, but I only discovered your talent today. Your Highness, our son has only been a hundred days old. Your Highness will often paint portraits of your son in the future.
I paint one painting a year, and I should keep it well."
Zhu Bai burst into laughter: "If I paint one painting a year, my son will no longer be a baby after painting for several years."
Qin Yu said nonchalantly: "Your Highness, just promise me."
Zhu Bai smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's all up to you. Why can't I promise you anything?"
As he said that, Zhu Bai leaned over and teased the son in his concubine's arms. At this moment, a chamberlain hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the Emperor's decree has arrived."
Zhu Bai was startled, and his face couldn't help but change color slightly. There was a lot of noise in the imperial court to cut down the vassals. Who among the vassals didn't know about it? The good nephew who was humble and filial in front of the kings and uncles has now become the king's heart.
He is a seducer, and everyone is afraid of seeing his decree. Zhu Bai said to Qin Yu nervously: "My beloved, please take the child back to the room to rest. I will go and receive the decree."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Outside the Prince of Xiang's Mansion, the imperial soldiers and horses pretending to be merchant pawns had surrounded the Prince of Xiang's Mansion. The weapons and weapons originally hidden in the trucks were also taken out. Huang Zhen looked at the closed palace door and saw that it was already approaching.
The sun was setting in the west, and he said to Yuan Tai uneasily: "Sir, will King Xiang bow his head and plead guilty? It has been more than an hour since we announced the decree, but the palace door is closed..."
Yuan Tai said firmly: "Don't worry, there are only a few guards in Prince Xiang's palace. Prince Xiang is indeed brave, but what can he do? He has no other way to go. He can only have a chance to survive by submitting an apology to the court. Time will not return. It’s not here yet, please wait patiently!”
In the palace of Prince Xiang, the principal concubine, side concubines and even the officials of the palace were all kneeling in front of Prince Xiang, pleading bitterly. The principal concubine Wu sobbed: "Your Highness, Your Highness, this is a dead end. The palace has opened two more roads. Jiao Men'er is not a big deal. His Highness just bowed his head to the court and confessed his crime, and killed Jiao Men'er. Your Highness is the Emperor's uncle, how can the Emperor make things difficult for His Highness?"
Zhu Bai's eyebrows were full of anger and determination. At this moment, he had put on a military uniform, with a white helmet and white armor, a sword under his ribs, and a bow on his shoulder. He looked like he was going out to fight. Even when he was charging into battle, he was used to it. The white horse he was riding was covered with leather armor, saddled and saddled, and was led by a veteran.
Zhu Bai helped his wife up and suddenly laughed and said: "My beloved, please don't say stupid things. The meaning of a drunkard is not in the wine. What does my good nephew care about that Zhu Bai has opened another door? Hehe, he The only person he cares about is me, Zhu Bai. As long as I am alive, I will be a thorn in his side, and I will definitely get rid of him. Since he longs for my great head, Zhu Bai, I will give it to him. That’s it!”
Prince Zhou Weiyong's face was pale and he was sweating coldly. He kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Your Highness, it is not a big deal for Your Highness to exceed the palace gate limit. So he bowed his head to the Emperor and confessed his sin. I think the Emperor thought of His Highness' sincerity and was able to find out." Even if it doesn't work, it will just end up like the king of Zhou, the king of Qi, and the king of Dai, so why bother to break up like this!"
Zhou Changshi was really scared. He knew that Zhu Bai had a strong temperament, but he didn't expect that Zhu Bai had such a strong temper. Zhu Bai liked to talk about the art of war and practice martial arts. He had secretly made useful weapons in the palace, but was reported. When he arrived at the court, he was reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang. At that time, Zhu Bai meekly admitted his mistake to the emperor, but why was he so furious this time?
Zhou Weiyong looked at the firewood that had been piled up in front of the Chengyun Palace and had been spilled with oil. He was extremely frightened. He failed to dissuade the prince when he overstepped the rules. He was already guilty. If the prince really set fire to the ***, he, the elder, would Can Shi still run away? I'm afraid the emperor will peel off his skin and beat his muscles.
After hearing Zhou Changshi's words, Zhu Bai looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, the emperor's eagerness to cut down the vassals is already Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone on the road knows it. He used both soft and hard tactics, first with civility and then with force, but he just forced me to admit my guilt. , once I write this letter of apology, he can not only get his wish, but also keep his hypocritical face of being most benevolent and filial, haha..."
The veteran who held the horse and fell into the stirrup shed tears and said loudly: "Your Highness, let's rebel! As long as His Highness gives the order, I will go through fire and water for my humble duty without hesitation!"
Zhu Bai chuckled and shook his head: "I won't rebel! Zhu Bai can't rebel! The court has already prepared it. Do you think this king can break out of the siege? If he rebels, it will fulfill my good nephew's wish. Hey! I Zhu Bai refused to let him have his way!"
He turned to his princess and concubines, opened his arms, hugged them gently, and comforted them softly: "When I die, the world will be shaken. My hypocritical nephew will definitely not dare to deal with him anymore due to the situation. You orphans and widowed mothers are trying to win people's hearts. Your situation may be better than that of my unlucky brothers and their families. My dear concubine, please don't be sad and bring up my son and my nephew well. If he goes against the grain and ignores his family ties, sooner or later... he will be punished."
"Your Highness!" the two princesses shouted desperately. Zhu Bai ignored him, turned around, and shouted sternly: "Prepare your horses!"
With tears streaming down his face, the old soldier led the horse to him and knelt down on one knee. Zhu Bai stepped on his knee with one foot, jumped on the horse, and shouted: "Open the palace gate and light up the fire!"
"Rumble..."
The palace door opened, and the imperial soldiers and horses blocking the outside made a commotion. They immediately tightened their shields and raised their crossbows. However, no soldiers were seen rushing out of the palace. The palace doors opened one after another, and along the spacious and flat road,
Just when I saw the majestic "Chengyun Hall", the main hall of Prince Xiang's Mansion, there was a "boom", and a blazing flame burst out of the Chengyun Hall.
Yuan Tai was shocked and lost his voice: "No! King Xiang is going to commit suicide! Hurry, stop him!"
Regardless of the moment, Yuan Tai picked up the train of his robe, staggered and ran inside. Huang Zhen did not expect that today's edict would force the prince to a dead end. He was so frightened that his heart was beating fast and his knees were weak. He saw Yuan Tai disappear.
He rushed in, and many guards behind him also ran in. Only then did he understand, and he tremblingly shouted: "Wait...wait for me...", and then he also ran in.
King Zhu Bai of Xiang wears a white helmet and armor, rides a white horse, carries a sword and a bow, and the red tassel on the top of his helmet trembles violently due to the heat wave generated by the burning of the Chengyun Hall. He rides alone on a single horse and stands in front of the Chengyun Hall, scornfully
Looking at Yuan Tai and a group of court soldiers dressed in various colors who were running in a hurry, he shouted sternly: "I, Zhu Bai, am the biological son of Emperor Taizu! Taizu Bintian, as a son of a human being, I, Zhu Bai, are not allowed to see or be buried.
, I am so sad, what joy is there in life? Now the emperor wants to ask about Zhu Bai's crime, thinking how can I, the son of Taizu, be so humble and humiliated as a prisoner and a slave in order to find a way to survive! It is not Zhu Bai's character to linger on his last breath and ask for a way to survive.
!I would rather die than surrender!"
"drive!"
Zhu Bai suddenly spurred his horse, turned its head and ran straight towards the Chengyun Hall.
"Your Highness!" Yuan Tai, who had not yet come forward, couldn't help but cry out in despair when he saw Zhu Bai rushing into the Chengyun Palace like a moth in the fire, and quickly disappeared into the flames.
"Your Highness! Since Your Highness is dead, how can I bear to live alone? Since we are not tolerated in this world, let's go to meet each other at the foot of the spring as a family!"
Princess Wu of Hunan held the hands of her son and daughter, and glared at Yuan Tai fiercely with her red eyes. The red flames reflected her face. The hatred and awe-inspiring look in her eyes made Yuan Tai involuntarily frightened.
After taking a few steps back, Mrs. Wu turned around, took the hands of her children and ran towards the Chengyun Hall.
"Your Highness! Sister!"
Qin Yu cried so hard that his hair became disheveled. When he saw the princess rushing into the Chengyun Hall without hesitation, he hugged his beloved son and rushed towards the increasingly fierce flames.
"Your Highness, please do not give up your humble position. Even in your humble position, you must follow Your Highness and lead your horse and put the stirrup on for Your Highness!"
The veteran wailed and rushed in. The chief minister of Prince Xiang's palace felt miserable in his heart: "It's over! It's over! Prince Xiang committed suicide. Whether the emperor vented his anger on me or asked me to bear the crime of disrespect, I, Zhou Weiyong, have nothing to gain."
Well, rather than die, I might as well follow the King of Xiang, at least... at least I can still have a loyal name in the history books."
Thinking of this, Zhou Changshi gritted his teeth, covered his face with his sleeves, and rushed towards the Chengyun Hall where the flames were engulfed and no one could get close.
King Xiang's Majesty was so popular that for a while, many grief-stricken palace maids, servants, guards and officials all followed King Xiang, jumping into the fire one after another. Huang Zhen and Yuan Tai stood there in despair.
There, seeing such a tragic scene, I was so horrified that I couldn't speak.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"Bastard! Bastard! How dare he commit suicide! How dare he commit suicide and trap me in an unjust place. His intentions are so vicious, his intentions are so vicious!"
Zhu Yunwen's face turned livid and he roared angrily.
Xiao Linzi was afraid of being swept up by the tail of the tornado, so he stood aside and shivered out of habit.
Fang Xiaoru looked solemn and said: "Your Majesty, we did not expect that King Xiang would actually... Your Majesty, now is not the time to get angry. King Xiang's death will soon spread throughout the world. This matter cannot be hidden. We
We must immediately think of a proper way to deal with the aftermath, otherwise, the public will be furious, and I am afraid that the target of the attack will be directed at Your Majesty."
Zhu Yunwen sat back on the chair and said at a loss: "What should I do? What should I do? Not long after I came to the throne, I deposed all the kings, and now I force the King of Xiang to commit suicide. I...how can I solve this problem?"
The world?"
Huang Zicheng said solemnly: "Your Majesty must not think like this. If your Majesty feels that he is wrong and feels guilty to King Xiang at this time, then it will really be out of control and he will really be unable to explain to the world."
Zhu Yunwen raised his head, looked at him blankly and said: "Then...in your opinion, sir, what should I...do?"
Upstairs in Shengqi, Huaiqing's consort, Zhu Gaochi and several others were drinking, talking and laughing. Huaiqing's consort Wang Ning wanted to distance himself from Prince Yan's Mansion at first, but Zhu Gaochi took the initiative to make friends with him on the grounds that he was a relative. Zhu Yunwen
He also wanted to keep an eye on King Yan's three sons and prevent them from causing trouble everywhere, so he hinted to Wang Ning that he could associate with them. Unexpectedly, once they got along, the two of them had similar learning and similar temperaments, and they actually became friends.
There were also several famous literati in Nanjing during the banquet. At this moment, several people were surrounding one person and watching him paint. This person's name was Bian Jin, and he was a world-famous painter. At first, he was a painter in Jingzhong, and he was a painter in Hunan.
Wang Zhubai was also good at painting. The two had a close friendship and became good friends. They were recommended by the King of Xiang and went to the capital, where he worked in the palace and became a court painter. They rose to the top in one step and are now among the "Three Forbidden Masters".
Bian Jin was taking advantage of the wine to paint the scenery of Lake Mochou at the window. A painting was slowly completed, and all the scenery of Mochou was put on the paper. Several people onlookers couldn't help but praised it for being wonderful. Zhu Gaochi raised his glass and looked at this
The deputy painter also liked it very much, so he said to Bian Jin: "Gao Chi likes this masterpiece of sir very much. I wonder if sir would be willing to give it to Gao Chi?"
Bian Jin smiled happily and said: "Thanks to the prince's favor, there is no reason for me to refuse. I will allow you to inscribe and seal it. Come on, get the seal."
The scholar in Bianfu immediately brought a sandalwood box. When the lid of the box was opened, it contained four large seals. He took out the large seal of "Forbidden Painters Bianjin" and dipped it in cinnabar ink mud.
The top of the painting was printed neatly. Zhu Gaoxu, who was playing downstairs, ran up in a panic. When he went upstairs, he shouted: "It's not good, it's not good, King Xiang... King Xiang... Uncle Twelve,*
**."
"Bang!" With a sound, the wine glass in Zhu Gaochi's hand fell to the ground and shattered. His face was as pale as paper. Everyone upstairs was silent for a while. After a while, Wang Ning, the Prince Consort of Huaiqing, said suspiciously: "Prince Xiang
...The King of Xiang has died? This...what is going on? Please tell me quickly."
Zhu Gaoxu gasped and said: "The emperor issued an edict to the world, and there were notices posted on the streets. I... I just saw it, and I ran back. The notice said..."
Zhu Gaosui ran up and said: "Second brother, I remember, let me tell you. The list says: 'Last year, the common people of Zhou committed evil deeds, and even wrote a poem to the King of Xiang, calling them an accomplice. Because I am a relative, I can't bear to expose his fault. , I only corrected the sins of the common people of Zhou Dynasty and did not ask about their faults. However, the King of Xiang had ulterior motives and did not repent because of my kindness. The King of Qi, Gui, conspired on behalf of Wang Gui to commit rebellion. When he questioned his accomplices, he also said that he had conspired with the King of Xiang to commit great treason.
I still couldn't bear to punish him, so I sent my imperial envoy to Jingzhou to interrogate him about the trespassing at the gate of Prince Xiang's palace, hoping to make Prince Xiang restrain his rebellion. King Bai of Xiang knew that his crime was exposed, and he might not be able to escape the sanctions of the laws and regulations. However, his whole family was in trouble, and even I hope that King Bai of Xiang will commit suicide and his family will be destroyed. Since King Xiang dies, he will not be deprived of his title because he has no heirs left. Instead, he will take over his fiefdom and give King Bai of Xiang the posthumous title of 'Rou'!"
Xia Xun, who was standing aside, heard the words and the veins on his forehead jumped: "Okay! Emperor Jianwen, who was so kind and filial, forced his uncle's family to death, and even gave him the posthumous title of 'Rule'. Everything is so complicated." Let him do his best, he is really a beast!"
Bian Jin's face was pale and he was silent for a long time. He slowly took back the large seal of "Forbidden Painter", took out a slightly smaller seal, dipped it in the ink pad, pressed it solemnly under the painting, and put away the seal box. , he cupped his hands to the stunned crowd and said, "I feel unwell, so I'll take my leave first." After saying that, he left sadly without looking back.
Xia Xun looked down at the painting and saw four bright red boys with the inscription "Given by the Palace of Xiang Mansion" on the painting!
"Given by the Palace of Xiang Mansion", this is a seal given to Bian Jin by King Zhu Bai of Xiang. King Xiang is dead and the palace of King Xiang has been burned to the ground, but Bian Jin, the painter in the court, solemnly stamped it under his painting. This was the silent indignation and protest of a powerless painter who received the seal granted by the King of Xiang.
After that, this famous Chinese painter in the early Ming Dynasty would mostly use the square seal given by Zhu Bai, King of Xiang, on his paintings as a commemoration. In the eleventh year of Yongle, fifteen years later, he He made a scroll of "Three Friends and One Hundred Birds", and the seal at the inscription is still the square seal given by King Xiang. This painting is now in the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
With such a big event happening in court, everyone had no intention of having a banquet. Everyone left in a hurry and immediately dispersed. Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui also knew that the situation was turbulent at this time, and they were afraid that the death of King Xiang would cause an uproar. , so they didn’t dare to cause trouble any more recklessly. The eldest brother Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice to go back home immediately, and they got on their horses obediently.
Zhu Gaochi was sitting in a horse sedan. After he got on the car and sat down in the sedan, he couldn't control the tears in his eyes. He glanced at Xia Xun who came in with him and said sadly: " King Xiang, what a King of Xiang! Your Majesty, what a King you are!"
The same sentence has two completely different meanings. Xia Xun was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Your Majesty, good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil. Cause and effect cycle, retribution will be unpleasant."
The King of Xiang, Zhu Baihe, had his palace imprisoned. Xia Xun remembered that four years later, when Zhu Di came to the city with his troops, Zhu Yunwen also chose to "assault the palace". However, legend has it that he did not die, but faked his own death and escaped. Xia Xun hopes :That's just a legend!
