It is said that Fang La is a commoner in the countryside of eastern Zhejiang. How much knowledge can he have? He only knew that Chen Shuozhen had become the empress and that the land of Qingxi had the atmosphere of an emperor, but he did not know what happened to Chen Shuozhen later. He thought that Chen Shuozhen really flew away on a phoenix. Actually no.

Next, let’s talk about how Fang Renyu dissected Chen Shuozhen.

Fang Renyu joined the army at the age of eighteen, fought in battles, experienced hundreds of battles, and lost countless people to his hands. He was already a treacherous and cruel man.

After Cui Yixuan captured Chen Shuozhen, he escorted him to Fang Renyu, the governor of Yangzhou. Fang Renyu then sent people to the capital to report the victory to the two saints in the court.

Emperor Gaozong and Li Zhi were rewarded, and the Holy Heart was greatly comforted. Wu Zhao and Chen Shuozhen were sworn sisters, but it was about the Li family, the country, and the country, so they couldn't remember their past kindness. Therefore, although Wu Zhao said nothing, he felt relieved in his heart. He gave Gaozong Li Zhi a hint on how to deal with Chen Shuozhen, that is, kill without mercy!

Tang Gaozong then commended Fang Renyu and Cui Yixuan, and ordered Fang Renyu to kill Chen Shuozhen in the busy city as a warning.

In November of Gengxu, Fang Renyu ordered the executioner to execute Chen Shuozhen at three quarters in the afternoon in front of the Wenxuan Building.

Regarding this judgment, Chen Shuozhen himself was notified a few days ago.

Chen Shuozhen was a steadfast woman who looked down upon death, but she did not panic because of it.

Originally, she really hoped that her adopted sister Wu Zhao would come forward to rescue her and save her life; however, as time passed, no good news came from Beijing.

Regarding this, Chen Shuozhen knew in his heart that it was obviously impossible to expect his sworn sister Wu Zhao to rescue him. After all, she was now the queen mother of the dynasty. After all, the Li family's Jiangshan Sheji family was in charge of half of the family. How could it be possible to look after him? Take away the Li family's empire?

Once he no longer had hope for his adopted sister Wu Zhao, Chen Shuozhen gave up hope for survival and kept thinking about how to kill himself before the execution.

As a female streamer, Chen Shuozhen still has scruples about her face.

Chen Shuozhen was imprisoned in a special cell and under strict supervision. He was unable to find a chance to kill himself, and the day for his execution soon came.

Afraid that Chen Shuozhen would risk his life to resist, Fang Renyu sent someone in advance to tell Chen Shuozhen on the day of execution that execution by dissection would only bring about a single blow, so there was no need to be afraid.

Fang Renyu used this to comfort Chen Shuozhen, so that she would not resist violently due to anxiety, so that the execution could not proceed normally.

Chen Shuo really believed Fang Renyu's words and on the day of execution, he went naked with his chest open like a bell so that he could bear the blow of the knife.

The jailer tied up Chen Shuozhen with ropes and led Chen Shuozhen out of the prison.

Chen Shuo had no fear on his face, he regarded death as if he were going home, and he acted confidently.

After leaving the cell door, Chen Shuozhen suddenly saw a wooden donkey parked outside the cell door.

Chen Shuozhen was shocked when he saw this.

The wooden donkey punishment is the most humiliating punishment in the world for women.

When Chen Shuozhen saw this, he knew that Fang Renyu had deceived him. It seemed that execution by dissection was not a one-shot disaster, but he would obviously have to suffer some humiliation.

Outside the prison door, on the street, there were clouds of onlookers early in the morning, and ants gathered in the road. Chen Shuozhen only then realized the humiliation of his punishment.

In desperation, Chen Shuozhen hurriedly hooked the horse post in front of the door with his feet and refused.

Chen Shuozhen said to the jailer: "Shuozhen is a steadfast girl. She has no love affairs between men and women. If she wants to be killed or beheaded, I will do whatever she wants. However, Shuozhen cannot bear such a humiliating punishment and would rather die here."

The jailer replied: "We are the executioners. It's useless for you to talk to us. You'd better obey, lest we become anxious and offended."

Chen Shuozhen refused to obey.

When the jailer saw this, he was furious and pulled hard.

Chen Shuozhen then used his feet to hook the horse's hitch tightly and not let go.

When the jailer saw this, he hit Chen Shuozhen's feet with a stick.

Chen Shuozhen endured the severe pain and refused to let go of his feet, but the jailer could not move them.

The executive then ordered everyone to break Chen Shuozhen's feet with their hands. Chen Shuozhen tried his best but could not separate them.

When Fang Renyu, who was secretly observing the situation from a distance, saw this, he called for a jailer and asked him to secretly take advantage of Chen Shuozhen's unpreparedness and hit Chen Shuozhen's chest with a stick. Chen Shuozhen was in panic and inevitably let go of his feet.

The jailer was ordered to go to Chen Shuozhen, and when Chen Shuozhen was unprepared, he hit Chen Shuozhen on the chest with a stick.

Chen Shuozhen was suddenly hit on the chest. After a moment of panic, Chen Shuozhen's feet were torn off the horse-tying posts by the jailer.

The executioner then ordered the jailer to tie Chen Shuozhen's feet with long ropes to prevent Chen Shuozhen from repeating his old tricks.

Chen Shuo really tried to save himself, but in the end he had no way to avoid humiliating Xing, so he no longer refused.

Although Chen Shuozhen no longer refused, the author really couldn't bear to describe the cruelty of torture, so I will skip more than a thousand words here and no longer describe how Chen Shuozhen was tied to a wooden donkey and how he was dismembered in the busy city. Tragic situation.

However, Fang La caused chaos later, and he wanted to use Chen Shuozhen's emperor spirit to disrupt the court and the world and seize it for himself. He really overestimated his own capabilities. Therefore, Chen Shuozhen's affairs are summarized as follows:

Woohoo, Chen Shuo really wanted to be in the world, but he just stopped at confusing the crowd. He was brave enough to defeat thousands of people, but he was defeated by the plot of one man. However, with the ax and ax added to his body, he survived nine deaths without regrets. He is also a hero among women! It's a pity that he succeeded in ten months, showed off his power in a small place, and died in front of thousands of people. He was extremely humiliated and his body was hard to be buried. This is a warning to those who want to rebel!

It is a pity that Fang La, in front of his own selfish desires, only looked at the glory of the past and did not remember the failure of the past, so there will be a fatal disaster waiting not far away in the future.

After talking about this old incident, it’s time to talk about Fang La.

It is said that in September of the second year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, a strange thing happened in Fang La's house.

That day, the sky was covered with clouds, and the wind was filled with moisture, almost like it was going to rain.

Fang La was sitting in the main room, drinking tea and thinking about something. When he looked up, he saw the clouds were gathering, so he stood up, came to the steps of the main room, and looked up at the sky.

Although the sky was covered with dense clouds, there was a red light overhead, exuding auspiciousness in the darkness.

Fang La felt very strange in his heart and thought secretly, could this light be the so-called emperor's energy?

While I was thinking wildly, I suddenly saw a bolt of lightning falling from the sky.

The red light turned into a line and fell into Fang La's courtyard, followed by "rumbling" thunder.

Fang La saw with his own eyes that red light penetrated into the crack in the ground in the middle of his yard.

Fang La was wondering when the rain started crackling in the sky.

Fang La felt so strange that he entered the house suspiciously.

A few days later, Fang La accidentally discovered that in his courtyard, where the red light had penetrated that day, a grass bud miraculously grew.

After a few days, the grass buds became thicker and some young buds sprouted on the sides.

Fang La felt even more strange, so he used a basket to tie up the grass bud.

Fang La was afraid that the chickens he kept in the yard would scratch the grass sprouts.

After another ten days, the grass bud actually grew into a flower and lifted off the ground with the basket on its back.

When Fang La saw this, he was overjoyed. He realized that it was a sacred flower and fairy grass. He cherished it in every possible way and took good care of it.

Deep down in Fang La's heart, he just wanted to see what kind of flowers and plants they were and what they could grow into.

A month later, the flower actually grew to the height of half a person. The stem was not the stem of ordinary flowers and plants. It was as thick as an arm. The leaves were as big as a face. There were three flowers blooming side by side, which were extremely beautiful.

Fang La has never seen such delicate and beautiful flowers in all his life. Fang La was very happy, but he didn't know what the flower was? What is your name? What's the origin?

Fang La thought to himself, there is Yueguang Temple in Qingxi City. Elder Xuanxu of Yueguang Temple is well-informed and must know the name and origin of this flower. Why don't I pay him a visit and ask him for advice? !

Fang La made up his mind, prepared ten taels of silver, and hurried to Qingxi County early in the morning, and came to Yueguang Temple to meet Elder Xuanxu of Yueguang Temple.

Fang La came to the gate of Yueguang Temple, called the young monk who was guarding the door, and said, "Please let me know, young master, that Fang La from Jie Village, Wannian Town, is meeting the elder."

After hearing the news, the young monk turned around and went in.

After a while, Elder Xuanxu of Yueguang Temple came out and saw Fang Lanai, a strong man with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose, a wide mouth, and a domineering look in his face, like a majestic one. A shocking figure.

Elder Xuanxu was secretly surprised, having seen Fang La's funeral.

Elder Xuanxu secretly thought, this is a person who is famous in the world, and I should receive him grandly.

Elder Xuanxu hurriedly saluted Fang La and said: "I didn't know that your Majesty was coming, so I didn't welcome him from afar. It's a sin! A sin!"

When Fang La heard what Elder Xuanxu said, he was also shocked. He thought to himself, I am the owner of the lacquer garden and I have never met this elder before. Why did this elder call me the king when we first met? What's the mystery here?

Fang La hurriedly returned the gift to the elder and said: "Elder, you are so proud. Fang La is the owner of a lacquer garden in Jie Village, Wannian Town. He has lived in a remote and remote country for a long time, so he has little knowledge and has not done much. Disciples in the countryside have heard about it for a long time. The elder has a high reputation and came here to visit me. Suddenly I heard the elder calling me the king. I was frightened and I really didn't dare to accept it."

Elder Xuanxu politely gave way: "Your Majesty, don't have any doubts. Life and death are determined by your destiny. I believe that Your Majesty is not a man for taking things easy. He will definitely have great wealth and honor in the future. I am honored that Your Majesty comes to the temple in person. I respectfully invite Your Majesty to enter the temple." Let’s talk in detail. Your Majesty, please come in!”

Elder Xuanxu respectfully let Fang La into the temple, and together they came to the abbot temple, where they sat down separately and ordered the young monk to watch tea.

Fang La exchanged a few polite words with Elder Xuanxu, took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve, presented it to the elder, and said: "Elder, I am here. Fang La has been thinking about my Buddha for a long time in his heart, and he has the intention to take refuge, but the worldly affairs are complicated and the intention is weak. A small donation is not considered as a sign of respect, but the elder will accept it with pleasure."

Elder Xuanxu showed some politeness and said, "I feel very sorry for the king's bad money."

After that, he collected Fang La's ten taels of silver.

Fang La said hurriedly: "A little kindness is nothing, but it doesn't matter if the elder accepts it."

At this time, the young monk came in, offered tea, and then left.

The elder asked Fang La, "The king must have some instructions when he comes here, but it doesn't matter. I listen attentively."

Fang La then told Elder Xuanxu how a red light entered the ground at home, how a flower grew, and how the flower grew. Finally, he said: "Elder, Fang La is very confused. I wonder where this flower comes from? What is its name?" What's the result? Fang La would like to ask the elder to take the time to come to the humble house and give some advice."

When Elder Xuanxu heard this, he thought to himself, it seems like something is going to happen in the future. If this is the case, I should go and have a look.

The elder then said: "Since the king invites you, why not go there?! I will go with the king now to see the flowers."

The two drank tea again, got up and left the temple, looking forward to Wannian Zhenjie Village.

More than an hour later, Elder Xuanxu and Fang La arrived at Jie Village's home. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Elder Xuanxu saw the flower in full bloom.

Elder Xuanxu came to the flower and looked at it carefully. He saw that the stem was as thick as an arm, indicating that it was strong and powerful. He saw three flowers growing on the stem, which were extraordinary and refined, and seemed to be extraordinary flowers.

Elder Xuanxu pondered for a long time, thoughtfully.

When Fang La saw this, he became impatient and said to the elder, "Please give me some advice."

Elder Xuanxu said: "Your Majesty, if I take a closer look at this flower, I am afraid that it is not an ordinary flower. It is a good flower. It can also be said to be a world-famous flower. It just looks very beautiful. In fact, it is inevitable that it will be short-lived and will not last long. Your Majesty, you are a good servant. If you raise it, there may be results.”

Fang La was dumbfounded after hearing Elder Xuanxu's words. He didn't understand what a "metaphorical flower" was, let alone why it appeared for a short period of time. He was in trouble for a long time. He asked cautiously: "Elder, you are a Buddhist and I am a layman. You might as well give me some advice." Mijin, what is a metaphorical flower for the world? What world is it metaphorical for? Can this flower be kept as a seed? Can it be replanted next year? If it is short-lived, what will be the outcome?"

Hearing this, Elder Xuanxu smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, monks don't lie. Things in this world are predetermined. They can be understood but cannot be expressed in words. Just wait for them to change! As for how short-lived a flash in the pan is, be careful not to be blown by wind and rain. "

Fang La asked again about the origin of this flower, and Elder Xuanxu smiled and said nothing.

Fang La also asked Elder Xuanxu to give the flower a name.

Elder Xuanxu thought for a while and said: "Half noble and half noble."

"Half honorable and half noble?" Fang La was even more confused after hearing this, and thought to himself: "Why can't you give me a name that is fully honorable and full of honor?"

So, Fang La asked: "Elder, Fang La is ignorant, please give me more advice."

Elder Xuanxu allowed Fang La to break the casserole and ask the truth, but he kept silent.

When Fang La saw that the elder was silent, he sent the elder out of the courtyard.

The elder called Fang La for questioning and said goodbye: "Your Majesty, you have a bright future, so take care of yourself."

After speaking, Elder Xuanxu quietly left.

Fang La turned around and entered the courtyard, staring at the flower in a daze, thinking secretly in his heart that since it is a rare flower, it should be taken care of carefully to prevent it from being blown by wind and rain and turning into a short-lived flower.

So, how did this flower turn out? Can it withstand wind and rain?
