——The prosperous age is about to fall, but I want to love him with all his pride——
During the Tianbao period, the Yang family was in chaos and the court was dark.
Jiang Zhuoyan was punished to kneel at the palace gate in a heavy rain because he spoke out and remonstrated.
A suddenly opened oil-paper umbrella and a clean handkerchief became his first delusional thought in the abyss.
Wen Chongyu only lost his mind twice in his life:
Once, by some strange coincidence, he held an umbrella for the stubborn figure kneeling in the rain; once, at a palace banquet, he coaxed the man to write an unintentional poem for his picture of the prosperous age.
What he painted was a whitewash of peace, and what he wrote was a silent remonstration of blood.
The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough waves know the sincere minister.
Jiang Yunzhi's outspoken words eventually became a thorn in the side of powerful traitors and an object of disdain for the emperor. A piece of edict condemned him to death in prison, and his loyal soul was extinguished by three feet of white silk.
Until the remonstrance paper was stained with blood and Bai Ling was given.
Wen Chongyu was imprisoned in the palace and was forced to draw a pen to draw auspicious pictures of the coming of all nations.
No one knows that in the interlayer of the scroll, he has painted all the rotten bones under the skin of the prosperous age.
