Since ancient times, grievances have their own owners and debts have their owners. In this world, there is never love without reason, nor hatred without reason; love, love and hatred all have origins.
Who is the man named Yunbi mentioned at the beginning? Why is he being chased by the second princess? Who is the second princess named Yinzhi? Why did she want to hunt down the man named Yunbi? If you want to explore the reason, you have to say that in the late Northern Song Dynasty, an outstanding man emerged from the southeast - Fang La.
Who is Fang La? Fang La is not an ordinary person, but a very powerful person. This Fang La, also known as Fang Shisan, was born in the fifth year of Chunxi, Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty. He was a native of Jie Village, Wannian Town, Qingxi County, Muzhou.
Fang La was born into a poor family. His parents died when he was young, leaving him helpless. He depended on Zheng Fang Youchang's family in the village and made a living by Fang Youchang's long-term labor.
As a long-term worker, Fang La is different from other people who work long-term jobs. Generally, people who work long-term jobs are stupid and have no physical strength. They depend on others and rely on hard work to survive. However, Fang La has been alert since he was a child, has an intelligent temperament, a flexible mind, is diligent and well-behaved, and is always prepared for future events, so he has always been favored by his employer Fang You.
In addition, Fang La is good at making friends and doing business. He often goes behind Fang Youchang's back and does some business secretly. Over the years, Fang La gradually accumulated some money in his hands.
After having some money, Fang La stopped working for others and started to build his own family business. So Fang Lafang redeemed himself, became a free citizen, and ran a lacquer garden.
Later, Fang La had more money in his hands. Fang La easily married a wife, had children, and lived a good life with children.
Naqingxi County is located in Zhejiang Province. It has high mountains and deep valleys, crisscrossed rivers, and rich products. It is rich in lacquer, fir wood, etc. Many wealthy merchants come here to buy, sell and traffic, and material transactions are prosperous, so it is a prosperous place.
Fangla people are tall and majestic, as strong as an ox, able to endure hardships, good at business, good at socializing, and good at martial arts. In addition to carefully managing their own lacquer gardens, they are also familiar with foreign merchants and have frequent contacts, so they start acting as agents. Shang Lai specializes in purchasing paint and fir wood for merchants, and also does some long-distance selling business. Every year, he earns as much as a hundred gold. His family is rich and he lives a prosperous life. He has become a well-known local rich man.
It would be a good life if Fang La could be his rich man honestly, responsibly and safely.
This Fang La, however, has a strong nature and is unruly. He is not a law-abiding and law-abiding person.
At that time, Fang La was in his prime, had gold and silver in his hands, and had good martial arts, so he was naturally considered a man of the hour in the village.
As a human being, one must either not be complacent or be able to control oneself when one is complacent.
If you are successful in life and cannot control yourself, you will inevitably have random thoughts over time and seem to want to do something big besides money.
It was precisely because of such a delusion that Fang La became obsessed and began to do unreasonable things, which inevitably ended up harming Fang La.
What do you think this is?
It turns out that after becoming rich, Fang La hid a little secret in his heart; he felt that being rich was not comforting in life, but only being rich and noble would be comforting.
How to be rich and noble? Of course he is a high official!
Fang La wanted to be an official, a high official, and secretly sought to become the biggest official at that time.
What was the largest official at that time? Who is the richest person? Obviously, the highest official at that time was the emperor, and the richest person was naturally Emperor Huizong!
Fang La felt that there seemed to be a reason attributed to him.
What's going on?
To understand the situation, we have to tell an old story.
This ancient incident happened during the Yonghui period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, there was a woman named Chen Shuozhen in Zitong Town, Qingxi County, Muzhou, Zhejiang. Her parents died when she was young, and she was living with a younger sister. The villagers took pity on him and adopted him on his behalf. The Chen Shuozhen sisters ate hundreds of meals and gradually grew up.
There are many strange things in the world. Chen Shuozhen is naturally beautiful, with a slender figure, fair skin, and dignified appearance. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. She has excellent kung fu, agility and fighting skills, and the ability to lift a thousand pounds. Her bravery is far beyond that of ordinary men. As the saying goes, women are not inferior to men.
Gradually, when Chen Shuozhen reached her youth, men proposed to her from time to time. Whenever a man comes to propose marriage, Chen Shuozhen smiles and replies: "The Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens has given me divine power. Only those who can defeat me will be allowed to marry me; those who cannot defeat me should worship me as their teacher."
As soon as Chen Shuozhen's words came out, it caused a sensation in the countryside. Young knights and wild men from the village came to fight with her. However, after countless battles, Chen Shuozhen never lost. For those who competed with Chen Shuozhen, who were extremely brave, Chen Shuozhen would take him under his wings; if he lost, he would treat Chen Shuozhen as his teacher. By the age of nineteen, Chen Shuozhen was already famous in Qingxi and had many followers.
Among Chen Shuozhen's disciples, there was one named Zhang Shuyin, who was chivalrous, highly skilled in martial arts, and specialized in fighting injustices.
Once, a rich and tyrannical man in Qingxi countryside bullied a civilian woman, and Zhang Shuyin happened to catch him. Zhang Shuyin was so angry that he killed the rich and tyrannical man in a rage. The government offered a reward for Zhang Shuyin's arrest. Zhang Shuyin fled and was captured by the government.
Zhang Shuyin was Chen Shuozhen's apprentice, and Chen Shuozhen also admired Zhang Shuyin very much, so he came to the rescue and rescued Zhang Shuyin when the government officials were escorting Zhang Shuyin.
Because of rescuing Zhang Shuyin, Chen Shuozhen was also wanted by the government. Chen Shuozhen was unable to gain a foothold in Qingxi County and planned to flee to temporarily save his life and start over again.
Before fleeing, Chen Shuozhen found Zhang Shuyin and asked him to marry his sister. He also asked Zhang Shuyin to secretly prepare his strength and rebel when the time came.
After settling these things, Chen Shuozhen disguised himself as a man and went to Yangzhou alone to find his uncle who ran a lumber store in Yangzhou city. He planned to take refuge there for a while and return to his hometown to lead the uprising when the official pursuit eased.
Along the way, Chen Shuozhen went hungry and slept in the open. After enduring a lot of hardships, he walked to Yangzhou. When he inquired about it, he found out that his uncle's lumber shop had been forcibly occupied by the prefect's brother-in-law. His uncle also took his family to the north three years ago. Went to Chang'an, Kyoto.
When Chen Shuozhen learned of this situation, he traveled all day and night to Chang'an to seek refuge with his uncle.
A month later, Chen Shuozhen came to Chang'an. After many inquiries, he finally found his uncle who had run a charity school in his hometown and was charitable and had been away for many years.
Chen Shuozhen and her uncle had not seen each other for many years, but now they reunited and cried with joy. My uncle was very happy when he saw that his niece was dignified and beautiful, tall and seemed to have a masculine temperament. She was also talented and had superb martial arts skills.
When Chen Shuozhen saw her uncle, she told her uncle what had happened, saying that when the opportunity was right, she would return to Qingxi and lead the riot.
Chen Shuozhen's uncle was also bullied by the government, so he strongly supported it. He advocated that Chen Shuozhen should remain anonymous and first go to the Royal Nunnery Ganye Temple to use his hair training as a cover, and secretly actively carried out various preparations for the peasant uprising.
Chen Shuozhen followed his uncle's arrangement and entered the Anganye Temple. He used the practice of acting as a cover to secretly prepare for an uprising.
Chen Shuozhen's uncle had many contacts, many acquaintances, and deep experience. He volunteered to travel north and south for Chen Shuozhen, contacting heroes from all over the world, getting to know heroes from all walks of life, and became an unsung hero of the peasant rebels.
Chen Shuozhen was waiting for the news at Ganye Temple.
One day, the sky was clear and the spring was bright. A group of dandy boys from Chang'an City in Kyoto came to the Ganye Temple fifteen miles west of the city for an outing.
This group of dandy boys were all children of officials and were accustomed to being arrogant. While they were playing, they suddenly noticed a beautiful little nun in the temple. They were salivating, so they stepped forward to tease her. The little nun was harassed and screamed in fright.
Nun Huijue, who heard the screams, rushed over and saw that this group of people wanted to do something inappropriate to the little nun. She couldn't help but feel evil in her heart, and hatred grew in her guts. She shouted loudly: Bold madmen, the Buddha's head is pure land! Don't be rude! After drinking, Chen Shuozhen jumped forward, squatting on a horse, and swept the stick in his hand towards these gangsters.
Just hearing a "wow", a dozen of them were knocked down at once, while the rest were stunned and at a loss.
Nun Huijue sternly reprimanded: "The sky is clear and the sun is bright. If you commit such an ugly act, you are no better than a pig or a dog. If you dare to do it again next time, my aunt will never forgive you lightly. Get out of here!"
This group of dandy boys were swept away by Nun Huijue with her stick, and they were so dizzy that they stumbled. When they heard Nun Huijue shouting to get out, they all ran away with their heads in their hands as if they had received an order of pardon from the emperor.
Who is this nun Huijue? This nun Huijue is Chen Shuozhen, who conceals her name and practices on her behalf.
Who is that little nun? That little nun was Wu Zetian, a talented person who had been blessed by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. According to Emperor Taizong's order, she came to the Royal Nunnery to become a nun.
Wu Zetian is not only naturally beautiful, but also knowledgeable and talented; Chen Shuozhen has unrivaled martial arts skills and a sense of justice. The two have similar minds and have a very good relationship. After Wu Zetian was rescued from being bullied, the relationship between the two became even closer, and they regarded each other as sisters behind each other's back.
In the winter of this year, black hair grew on Wu Zetian's bald head. Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi, sent his chief minister to Ganye Temple to summon Wu Zetian as Zhaoyi and marry her back to the palace.
Before leaving, Wu Zetian said to Chen Shuozhen: My sister became a nun and was favored by my sister. Today I have to return to the palace. If I become prosperous in the future, I will never forget my sister's great kindness. From now on, if my sister is in danger, she can only come to the palace. Just look for your sister, and she will try her best to rescue you.
Chen Shuozhen hated corrupt officials and was about to rebel against the Li family, so he didn't say much. He just said to Wu Zetian: Two years later, there will be a war in the southeast, and it was my sister who did it. I hope my sister will not think that my sister is disloyal. If there is, Ability, hope you can help.
When Wu Zetian heard this, she thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and the sisters said goodbye with tears.
One day two years later, two people from Qingxi County, Muzhou, Zhejiang Province came to Ganye Temple. One was Zhang Shuyin, who was later worshiped as a servant by Chen Shuozhen, and the other was Tong Wenbao, who was later named a general.
In the temple, the two men reported in detail to Chen Shuozhen the preparations for the uprising in the past three years. They believed that the time was ripe and asked Chen Shuozhen to go south immediately to lead the uprising.
After hearing the situation, Chen Shuozhen asked Zhang Shuyin and Tong Wenbao to set off first. She still had some private matters to take care of in the capital. After finishing these private matters, she immediately returned to Zhejiang to lead the uprising.
After Zhang Shuyin and Tong Wenbao left Chang'an, the capital, Chen Shuozhen made arrangements for his insiders in the capital, asking them to pay attention to the situation in Zhejiang and the palace at any time, and ask Wu Zetian for help when necessary.
After arranging these tasks, Chen Shuozhen also rushed back to Qingxi, Zhejiang before the Spring Festival.
