Chapter 244: Ancient Earth Pearl
"Then, Imperial Concubine, you once said to me a verse 'The predecessors of Maweipo have not died, and the soul of the general Qing emperor has not died'. Does this second half of the sentence 'The soul of the general Qing emperor has not died' mean the Huang Chao rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and this 'General Qing emperor' is Huang Chao?" I turned out all the words Yang Guifei said to me in the Huang family's compass courtyard, "The concubine also said to me the lyrics of the 'Tianting Sect, the ten thousand gates are empty, the pure Yang religion, the four seas, the longevity of heaven and earth, the dragon of rebellion', and also said 'The rainbow was lingering in the lyrics of the 'Tian Tingzong, the ten thousand gates are empty, the pure Yang religion, the four seas, the longevity of heaven and earth, the dragon of rebellion', and also said 'The rainbow was lingering in the rainbow'.
, The imperial karma is hard to be completed, and the evil beast will not die, Huang Chao is still there. Could it be that Huang Chao is still alive in the world for more than a thousand years? He established a sect organization called the "Tianting Sect" and was still committed to committing evil and rebellion for the "Rainbow Emperor's Care"? You still say that this Tianting Sect made you "never unwilling to be included in the order of the Three Realms and Five Elements" for more than a thousand years. What is all this? What is the origin of this earth bead on my body? Fang Yin urgently hopes that the Imperial Concubine will defend us clearly!"
"Oh!" Yang Guifei, who was living in Yang Li, sighed, "The past is unbearable to look back on, and the past is hard to describe! Although it is said that the Anshi Rebellion has caused the Tang Dynasty to decline, the Li Tang Dynasty has been revived for more than a hundred years. However, this Huang Chao rebel traitor has suffered a disaster for ten years, and has been slaughtering Chang'an. The land where the thieves passed by cannibalism, and the people have been slaughtered, and the people have been completely destroyed by the naked land, which directly led to the destruction of the Li Tang world, resulting in the Five Barbarians turmoil and the devastation of life. Anshi
During the rebellion, An Lushan did not destroy Chang'an. Tubo attacked Chang'an, and Chang'an was almost completely damaged. He dared to risk the tyranny of the world and completely destroyed Chang'an. Throughout history, the only Huang Chao traitor has been this Huang Chao rebel! Thinking about the imperial capital of Chang'an during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the prosperous and prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty. It has been the ancient capital of the dynasty since Zhou and Qin. It has been the history of capital construction for more than 1,500 years, but since Huang Chao rebels burned into ashes, Chang'an has no chance with the capital again..."
When Huang Chao raised his troops to cause chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty, more than 150 years have passed since the "Kaiyuan Prosperity" of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, both Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Yuhuan had already had a height of grass in front of the tomb.
"When autumn comes, September 8th, I will kill flowers after the flowers bloom. The fragrance formation soars into Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with golden armor." This is a vow made by a Confucian scholar after he failed many times. More than 20 years later, this Confucian scholar fulfilled his murderous oath and really made "I will kill flowers after the flowers bloom." As a result, nearly eight million people died under his butcher's knife. Hundreds of thousands of people were feasted by his subordinates. This Confucian scholar was Huang Chao, the leader of the uprising in the late Tang Dynasty.
In 875 AD, Huang Chao responded to Wang Xianzhi and became one of the initiators of the peasant uprising in the late Tang Dynasty. After Wang Xianzhi died in battle, he became the leader of the peasant uprising. From a scholar to a revolt leader, to the later murderous devil, it is not enough to be said. We all know that mobs are often born due to tyranny. I believe that if they can eat and wear well, 99.99% of people will not be the mob with their heads on their waists. However, Huang Chao
It is the 0.01% exception. Huang Chao, who has a wealthy family, became a mob because he wanted to rebel and ascend to the great treasure, and rule the world. Just like his original vow, "I will kill all flowers after the flowers bloom", "If I am the Emperor in another year, I will revenge the peach blossoms in the same place." This may be the expedition of his extreme revenge for society after his repeated failure, or perhaps it is one of the reasons that prompted him to implement the policy of massacre and destruction indiscriminately.
According to historical laws, peasant uprisings often decline after small achievements. Before Chen Sheng and Zhang Jiao, they were like this, and later Li Zicheng and Hong Xiuquan were the same. Of course, Huang Chao was not spared. At the beginning of the uprising, Huang Chao and his army loved the people as much as their sons, and even won the title of "General of the Tu". This situation continued until he captured Chang'an. At that time, Chang'an citizens who could not bear the support of the late Tang Dynasty were welcomed, and there was a bit of the idea of "Huang Chao coming and not paying food". Huang Chao and his uprising army were also moved to tears. However, soon (881 AD), Huang Chao proclaimed emperor and named the country "Da Qi" as a dividing line.
Tip: Huang Chao and his uprising army deteriorated. After almost completely accepting the corrupt political system and lifestyle of the late Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao began to be unwilling to make progress, and thus gave the remaining army of the Tang Dynasty a breather and allowed it to make a comeback. Huang Chao's uprising army began to kill people and rob people on the streets of Chang'an like robbers. The only difference between them and robbers may be that robbers may have some concerns and sometimes they need to sneak in, while they are open-minded and act recklessly. Under Huang Chao's rule, the people could no longer even carry out basic farming operations, so a considerable number of areas saw a "black land and thousands of miles away" scene.
As a result, Huang Chao's nature began to appear in an extreme way - someone wrote a poem to ridicule Huang Chao, who became emperor but began to become stupid and cruel. Huang Chao immediately organized people to investigate his author, but it was not found out. Huang Chao simply chopped off more than 3,000 innocent Confucian scholars in Chang'an City. With the counterattack of the Tang Dynasty army, Chang'an was occupied by the Tang Dynasty army. The city was full of people tortured by Huang Chao's tyranny, and began to welcome the Tang army. However, a few days later, Chang'an was taken back by Huang Chao, and Huang Chao was very angry at the loss of Chang'an. He was furious at the people of Chang'an welcome to the Tang army. This "General Lutu" who was once welcomed by Chang'an citizens ruthlessly raised the butcher knife in his hand, killing all the more than 80,000 male men in the city, and bloodbathed Chang'an City.
After being driven out of Chang'an again, Huang Chao and his army began to go to a dead end, so Huang Chao had to mobilize heavy troops to attack Chenzhou. However, shortage of military rations soon occurred. So less than a year later, Huang Chao used flowing water operations and used three thousand giant mortars to pound a large number of ordinary people, both men and women, regardless of age, into meat sauce, and supply his troops. After the people of Chenzhou were eaten up, they led troops to attack the nearby Xu, Ru, Tang, Deng, Meng, Zheng, Bian, Cao, Xu, Yan and other states, with the purpose of robbing people to eat. Therefore, Huang Chao's army, once called the "rebel army", became a group of people-eating demons!
In our history, many leaders of peasant uprisings, such as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the peasant uprising leader at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and Zhang Jiao, the leader of the "Yellow Turban Army" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, were all known as "killing demons". However, among these people who are called "killing demons", the most brutal and inhumane demons are the most vulnerable and inhumane demons, and all the people who cannibalize the rebels at the end of the Tang Dynasty headed by Huang Chao. According to the most conservative estimate, Huang Chao's army ate at least 300,000 people.
This kind of act of eating people without spitting bones and using human flesh as military rations is terrifying and terrifying. It is definitely the best of all ages and present. It seems that only Hitler's behavior of making fertilizers after the Jews during World War II can match it. Huang Chao and the rebel army's evil deeds were doomed to the final failure of the uprising. Under the attack of Tang Dynasty generals Li Keyong, Zhu Wen and others, in 884 AD, Huang Chao was killed by his subordinates in Langhu Valley (now Laiwu, Shandong) during the rebellion. He committed suicide.
From the uprising in 875 AD to the killing of Huang Chao. In less than ten years, eight million people (most of them were common people) died under the butcher knife of Huang Chao and his uprising army. In the past dynasties of China, killing people and slaughtering people has become a common practice since Huang Chao. For example, the Fang La Uprising in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Liu Futong "Red Turban Army" Uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong Uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, there are countless examples of the slaughter of cities and villages during these uprisings. As long as the uprising leaders found that the local people had welcomed and helped.
The enemy, then, as long as the rebels go wherever they go, they do not kill the local people without leaving any armor, blood flows into a river, or even starve tens of millions of people across the country to death, it is not an uprising or "revolution"! The deep suffering of the Chinese nation comes from the devil in everyone's heart - to be king and emperor, and let hundreds of millions of people kneel down at their feet, and long live the mountains. And the deeper suffering of the Chinese nation comes from the slavery thoughts engraved into the bones of everyone and deeply into the soul - as long as we never want to stand up and just want to kneel down, then the suffering of the Chinese nation will continue.
"But Huang Chao is not dead! Let's start with this earth bead on you." Yang Guifei, who was living in Yang Li, said this and sighed, "When the thief was in chaos, I had been dead for nearly a hundred years, but I was indestructible, because I not only had the Sanlang Emperor Longji protecting my body, but I also had the earth bead that Sanlang gave to me. Originally, Emperor Zhongzong and Tubo married his adopted daughter Princess Jincheng to Tubo Zanpuzi to bring the bead to Zhudan. Tubo presented the earth bead as a gift to Emperor Zhongzong. After Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, he loved this bead very much.
Later, I gave it to me. This earth bead carries the spiritual energy of the sun, moon, ecliptic spirit and the nine yin energy of the earth veins. All ghosts follow it and demons lean on it. At that time, Tubo Zanpu told Emperor Li Tang that although this bead is the spirit of creation, it seizes the energy of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and is a treasure of the heaven and earth, it is a small king in his place. Only the emperor who unified the world can safely embrace it. It is the sun of the true dragon emperor that can suppress it. Ordinary people will bring evil spirits close to you and have no peace in their lives. This is why I have always asked you to return it to me earlier.
"After I escaped the Mawei Incident, I lived here for another forty years. In the 12th year of Zhenyuan (796 AD), I died. I held the earth bead that Sanlang gave me that year. This earth bead that gathered the spiritual energy of the sun and the moon and the nine yin energy of the earth veins and veins, protects my body and the ghosts and souls. Therefore, a wisp of my ghost has been wandering around the world. All the changes in the Tang Dynasty are in my eyes.
Seeing that the Tang Dynasty was getting worse, I sighed. But I didn't expect that more than 80 years after my death, Huang Chao's rebels rose up and raised troops to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. The rebellion of the Tang Dynasty was becoming increasingly dying. The thieves were robbed of people and massacres in the city, mourning everywhere, grievances soared into the sky, living beings were tragic, and the people cried blood. It was just that the living people were unable to suffer. Even the dead ghosts buried underground would be dug by Huang Chao's rebels..."
It turned out that in the third year of Zhonghe (883 AD), Li Keyong of the Shatuo tribe led reinforcements to assist the Tang Dynasty, leading more than 10,000 troops to the south, constantly approaching Huang Chao, who had occupied Chang'an and proclaimed emperor at this moment. At this time, the Huang Chao regime was debauchery, cruel and unruly. The defenders, who claimed to be 200,000, were killed by Li Keyong's 10,000 troops and abandoned their armor. Huang Chao led the remaining troops to escape from Chang'an. In the case of ambushing in front and pursuing soldiers, Huang Chao's army soon suffered from insufficient food and salary. In addition to the above-mentioned killings of ordinary people, grinding them into meat sauce for food, Huang Chao also robbed tombs everywhere to collect rare treasures to change gold, silver and food and salary. He robbed several emperors of Li Tang's tombs.
The most heavyweight tombs of the emperors that Huang Chao robbed were the Qin Mausoleum, Maoling and Qianling, which involved the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, and were prominent. Qin Mausoleum was the tomb of Qin Shihuang, Maoling and Emperor Wu of Han, and Qianling was the joint tomb of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. The lords of the tombs of the three dynasties were arrogant. Who can compare to the imperial tombs of the three dynasties? The imperial tombs of Qin, Han and Tang dynasties were all located on the Guanzhong Plain, and were not too far apart, which also provided convenience for Huang Chao tombs. Therefore, after the rebel army of Guanzhong in all dynasties, in addition to robbing the tombs and raising food and money, they also used the destruction of the imperial tombs as a heavy blow to declare war on feudal rulers to vent their anger. In the records of Qianling, Huang Chao used 400,000 to dig the tombs.
The soldiers dug mountains on the west side of Liangshan. It is said that they dug almost half of Liangshan, but in the end they only dug a "Huangchao Gully" with a depth of 40 meters, and there are still traces to be found. Due to the few cultural people in the peasant army and the structure of the Qianling Mausoleum is too strong, the soldiers could not understand the internal structure of the Qianling Mausoleum. As a result, they dug the wrong direction and the Qianling Mausoleum escaped the disaster. Otherwise, they would not be preserved today. According to the actual situation in that year, among these three most mysterious and historically statured imperial tombs in my country's history, Huang Chao would not have failed. The most likely one to dig was Maoling, because Maoling had been robbed many times before, and it was easy to find the entrance of the underground palace. However, Huang Chao dug so many imperial tombs, and the treasures dug were only a drop in the huge amount of food and salary expenses.
At this moment, a military advisor next to Huang Chao had a jewel for Huang Chaoyan. The fate of heaven, earth, sun and moon is the heaven and earth spirit stone grown in the Tubo Kingdom. If it could be found, it would definitely be sold for one hundred thousand taels of gold. This military advisor was Changsun Wenchang, the descendant of Sun Jingdao, the chief of the Sitian Supervisor of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. The precious pearl he mentioned was naturally the earth pearl. Back then, Changsun Jingdao had seen Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei play with this bead in the palace. He met him for a lifetime and never forgot about it. He sighed as the treasure of heaven and earth.
Although Huang Chao was cruel and injustice, he was possessed of extraordinary talents and means, especially his cultivation of Bagua Yishu and Qimen Dunjia, which was also one of the reasons why he led the rebel army in the early days. However, later he was really cruel and injustice, and the people were all lost, and eventually failed to raise troops. After hearing Chang Sun Wenchang explain the mystery about the Earth Pearl, Huang Chao immediately ordered him to find the whereabouts of the Earth Pearl. Chang Sun Wenchang explored everywhere, thinking that the Earth Pearl was very likely to be taken to the tomb by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Although according to the remains of his ancestor Changsun Jingdao, the Earth Pearl was once rewarded by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang to Yang Guifei, it was well known at that time that Yang Guifei had "dead" at Mawei Post, and the Earth Pearl should have been taken back by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Therefore, Chang Sun Wenchang determined that the Earth Pearl was hidden under Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and he tinkered with Huang Chao to dig out the Tai Mausoleum.
It was later said that the first time Tailing was robbed was robbed by the former Jiedushi Wen Yun after Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty. In fact, Huang Chao took the lead. Although he had robbed many gold, silver and treasures, Huang Chao did not see the ground beads in Changsun Wenchang's mouth. Until now, the two of them made a long-term plan and calculated Yang Guifei's birth date and horoscope, and found that she was 78 years old. This discovery made Huang Chao very excited. It was naturally understandable that Yang Guifei did not die in the "Mawei Incident" but died of longevity. Huang Chaohe and Changsun Wenchang looked at the celestial phenomena, and based on various clues such as the mutiny of the Mawei Post Office Imperial Guards that year, they gradually figured out Yang Guifei's escape route after the disaster by "losing the bag". Finally, in the fourth year of Zhonghe of Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty (884 AD), the tomb of Yang Guifei with the tombstone "Yang Taizhen".
Huang Chao was like a dog who was strayed by the Tang soldiers at that time. If he could find this land bead, even if the army failed, he would raise enough gold and silver, and he would have a chance to make a comeback in the future. He dug up Yang Guifei's grave and opened the coffin. The scene in front of him shocked everyone present, especially Huang Chao: the female corpse in the coffin was not corrupt at all, with white skin and long eyelashes. Although he was 78 years old, he looked like a woman in one 40 years old, and was actually a woman with a rich and plump look. Looking at her face, she was indeed the most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty. Her appearance of the moon and the appearance of the falling fish and the appearance of falling fish and the geese were nearly a hundred years after her death. She was already an octogenarian woman. She could make people think and admire her!
Huang Chao couldn't help but sigh to the sky, thinking that after all, he had been the emperor of the "Da Qi" regime for several years, and he also searched for beauties in the world. There were 3,000 beauties in the harem, but no one could compare to the beauty of this eternal beauty Yang Yuhuan! Imagining the time when Yang Guifei danced for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang in Huaqing Pond and sang a song about the colorful clothes, what a blessing in the world, the realm of the paradise of the heavenly palace! Such a peerless beauty, even if she had become an old woman, still retained such a moving face, Huang Chao couldn't help but feel
He hated all kinds of people, hated himself for his bad luck and his imperial career, and hated Emperor Xuanzong of Tang for a great blessing. Not only did he create the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but he could also live in the beautiful people who were swaying the country and spend the spring together! After Huang Chao beat his chest and stamped his feet, he immediately ordered the killing of all the people who dug the grave who had seen Yang Yuhuan's face, and only Changsun Wenchang, who helped him find the tomb of Yang Guifei, was spared. The reason for killing them was just to prevent them from saying that "Huang Chao would not be able to hold the number one beauty in the Tang Dynasty"!
Then, Changsun Wenchang found that Yang Guifei's body seemed to contain a foreign object. When he opened it, he saw a flash of light. If the beads of the elixir were released, it was the ground tassel bead. After Huang Chao found this bead. After looking back several times, he couldn't bear to leave. Then he tore up the burial clothes worn by Yang Guifei's body. Even if he didn't have it, he had to look at Yang Guifei's body. It would be not in vain to see the peerless beauty of this most beautiful woman in the ages. However, when Yang Guifei's burial clothes were just stripped away.
, Suddenly, her body was quickly black and shriveled, different from the previous icy and jade bones. Even if he smelled a stinking smell, he immediately realized that the reason why Yang Guifei's body had not rotted for a hundred years was because of the ground bead protecting the body. Now that she took the ground bead from her mouth, the body would naturally corrode quickly. Huang Chao immediately did not even put the burial clothes in, and hurriedly buried the body with a wave of loess, and then led his troops to continue to escape.
After Huang Chao seized the earth bead, he found that it was not easy to get rid of it, because many people would blame themselves when they touched the bead. Either they committed suicide by jumping into the well or falling into the cliff and causing disability. Many people thought that this bead was an ominous thing. However, in the fifth year of Zhonghe of Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty (885 AD), a gentry named Zhao Tsui who had worked as a county magistrate in the Tang Dynasty. He bought the earth bead for 10,000 taels of gold. What's strange is that Zhao Tsui was not "cursed" by the earth bead. After Zhao Tsui's death, the earth bead was passed to his son Zhao Jing. After Zhao Tsui's death, the earth bead was passed to his son Zhao Jing, and Zhao Jing passed to his son Zhao Hongyin. After Zhao Hongyin's death, the earth bead was naturally passed to his son Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin. Who was this Zhao Kuangyin? Song Taizu, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty.
From then on, this land pearl was circulated in the hands of Emperor Zhao Song and was passed down to the hands of Emperor Qinzong, the last emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, after the "Jingkang Incident", the two emperors Hui and Qinzong were captured in the Jin Kingdom and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. After that, the Song Dynasty crossed the south and the land pearl was captured by the powerful minister Zhang Bangchang. Unfortunately, Zhang Bangchang's treacherous minister for thousands of years did not have the momentum of the real dragon to control the pearl. He was repeatedly invaded by the evil spirits brought by the land pearl. Zhang Bangchang was later punished and killed by Emperor Gaozong of Song. He was the only civil minister killed in the Song Dynasty. Zhang Bangchang's family knew that this land pearl was an ominous thing and was only worthy of the royal family, so he buried it under a thousand-year-old fir tree in the palace of the imperial capital Hangzhou. It not only covered his behavior of stealing the pearls, but also returned the land pearls to the Emperor Zhao in disguise.
Later, there is no need to mention it again - Luo Qingyang, a master of Xuanmen in the Southern Song Dynasty, was found under the fir tree in the imperial palace. However, the emperor Zhao Gou mistakenly thought of a pill, which caused Luo Qingyang to be slaughtered. After his death, the tomb was set up by the masters for the ages and the resentment of his son and mother. From this, it can be seen that if ordinary people obtain this earth bead, they will always bring disaster to themselves.
But strangely, this earth bead was finally obtained by me from Luo Qingyang's corpse. I have been holding it for several months now, but I have not encountered any major disasters. I took the initiative to take some of the dangers - for example, I encountered the "forbidden for life and death" in the Huang family's compass compound.
"The earth bead was finally obtained by you, Mr., and you must know that for more than a thousand years, I have been searching for the earth beads everywhere, just because your fate can suppress the evil spirits of the earth beads. This is too mysterious, and I found you with this strange sign. Alas, this is really a blessing. Since this earth bead is destined to you, and you have to complete some major things with it, you should do it yourself!" Yang Guifei, who was living in Yang Li, said, "I, Yang Tiancong and Yang Zhenzhu, have already been in a state of mind, but I sighed in regret, "Now, since this earth bead is given to me by Sanlang, and now I have a whereabouts, I
I also have to look for the Tang Dynasty bandits who have disappeared for more than a thousand years, and the old thief Huang Chao, a sinner who has been in peace for nearly a hundred years! I have been resting in peace for nearly a hundred years, but how could I expect that the Huang Chao thief found the tomb, dug up my tomb, stole my ground beads, and my body was corrupted. He had to tear my burial and humiliate my body! What's more, he also robbed my tomb of Emperor Sanlang. This Huang Chao thief was also a great sinner who destroyed my Tang Dynasty! This great shame and humiliation was angered by both man and gods. I vowed that even if I searched for a thousand years or ten thousand years, I would find the corpse and ghost of the Huang Chao thief, so that he would die without a burial place and never be reborn!"
"'The soul of the General Qing Emperor is not dead', you said that Huang Chao was not killed after the defeat of the uprising, but he escaped the disaster of life and death like you back then. So where did he eventually go, and how did he plan the gate of the "Tianting Sect" for the eternal hidden cultivation of the "Tianting Sect" and continue to commit evil and cause disaster?"
"This is related to the fact that Yang's Lei Jun people cannot escape..."
"What?!" I immediately trembled all over, "This Huang Chao is actually related to the mysterious Xuanmen 'Ancient City' that has been the eternal mystery of Xuanmen?!"
