    "So, my dear concubine, you once said to me a verse: 'The predecessors of Maweipo are not dead, and the soul of General Qingdi is not dead.' Does the second half of the sentence 'The soul of General Qingdi is not dead' mean that of the Tang Dynasty?  At the end of the Huangchao Rebellion, is this 'General Qingdi' Huang Chao?" I translated all the words that the ghost of Concubine Yang said to me in the Luopan Courtyard of the Huang Family, "The Concubine also told me that 'Tian Ting Zong'  , Wanmen Kong, Chunyang Sect, Unification of the Four Seas, Longevity of Heaven and Earth, Follow Nilong.' The lyrics also say, 'A long rainbow, the emperor's career is difficult to complete, the evil beasts will not die, Huang Chao is still there.' Could it be that it is Huang Chao?  After more than a thousand years, he is still alive in the world? He established a sect called "Tianting Sect", and he is still committed to committing evil for the "Rainbow Emperor Industry"? You still say that it is this Tianting Sect that makes you?  For thousands of years, I have always refused to be included in the order of the three realms and the five elements. What is the origin of all this, and what is the origin of this earth pearl on my body? Fang Yin urgently hopes that the imperial concubine will explain it clearly to us!  Hey!" Concubine Yang, who was staying in Yang Li, sighed, "It's hard to look back on the past, and it's hard to describe the past! Although it was the Anshi Rebellion that made the Tang Dynasty decline, the Li Tang Dynasty was still revived for more than a hundred years, but this Huangchao traitor  , ten years of chaos, bloodbath in Chang'an, where thieves passed by, cannibals slaughtered the city, the people were wiped out, and the land was thousands of miles away, which directly led to the destruction of the Li and Tang Dynasties, and the chaos in China and the loss of life. During the Anshi Rebellion, Anlu Mountain was not destroyed.  After losing Chang'an, Tubo invaded Chang'an. Chang'an was barely damaged, but he dared to risk the disapproval of the world and completely destroy Chang'an. The only traitor from ancient times to the present was the imperial capital Chang'an in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, with its bustling traffic and boundless prosperity.  , has been the ancient capital of the dynasty since the Zhou and Qin Dynasties. It has a history of more than 1,500 years, but since the Huangchao rebels burned it to ashes, Chang'an has never had a chance to be the capital again" At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huangchao raised his troops for the  At the time of the chaos, more than 150 years had passed since the "Kaiyuan Heyday" during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.  At that time, whether it was Tang Xuanzong or Yang Yuhuan, the grass in front of the tomb was already ten feet tall.  "When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, when my flowers bloom, hundreds of flowers will bloom. Chang'an will be filled with incense, and the whole city will be filled with golden armor." This is the oath made by a Confucian scholar after his reputation was lost to Sun Shan many times.  More than twenty years later, this Confucian scholar fulfilled his murderous vow and truly "I will kill a hundred flowers after they bloom". As a result, nearly eight million people died under his butcher knife.  Hundreds of thousands more were feasted upon by his men.  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 an uprising leader, and later to a murderer.  It cannot be said in one word.  We all know that mobs are often born out of tyranny. I believe that if they can have enough food and clothing, 99.99% of people will not become that mob with their heads in their waistbands.  However, Huang Chao is the 0.01% exception.  Huang Chao, who comes from a wealthy family, became a mob just because he wanted to rebel, to achieve great wealth and dominate the world.  Just like his original vows, "After I bloom, hundreds of flowers will be killed" and "If I become the Qing Emperor in his future years, I will repay the peach blossoms with blooming."  This may be due to his extreme revenge mentality towards society after being repeatedly defeated, or it may be one of the reasons that prompted him to indiscriminately implement the policy of massacre and destruction.  According to the laws of history, peasant uprisings tend to decline after making small achievements. This was the case for Chen Sheng and Zhang Jiao before, and it was also the case for Li Zicheng and Hong Xiuquan later. Of course, Huang Chao was not immune.  At the beginning of the uprising, Huang Chao and his army loved the people like their own children, and even earned the reputation of "the great general who leads the country". This situation lasted until he captured Chang'an. At that time, the citizens of Chang'an, who had grown tired of the cruelty of the late Tang Dynasty, welcomed him.  There was quite a bit of thinking like "Huang Chao will not pay for food when he comes". Huang Chao and his rebels were also moved to tears at that time.  However, not long after (881 AD) Huang Chao proclaimed himself emperor and named the country "Daqi" as a dividing point. Huang Chao and his rebels changed their character and almost completely accepted the decadent political system and lifestyle of the late Tang Dynasty.  After that, Huang Chao began to lose his ambition and thus gave the remaining troops of the Tang Dynasty a breathing space to make a comeback. However, Huang Chao's rebels began to kill people and steal goods on the streets of Chang'an like bandits, robbing men and dominating women.  Perhaps the only difference between robbers is that robbers may have some scruples and sometimes need to be sneaky, while they fight with open fire and do whatever they want.  Under Huang Chao's rule, ordinary people were no longer able to carry out basic farming operations, so a "thousands of miles of bare land" appeared in quite a few areas.  Following this, Huang Chao's true nature began to be revealed in an extreme way - someone wrote a poem to ridicule Huang Chao, who became mediocre and cruel after becoming emperor. Huang Chao immediately organized people to find out the author, but could not find out.  Huang Chao then simply beheaded more than 3,000 innocent Confucian scholars in Chang'an City. As the Tang Dynasty army counterattacked, Chang'an was occupied by the Tang Dynasty army again. The people in the city who had suffered from Huang Chao's tyranny began to crowd in again.  Welcome Tang Jun.  However, within a few days, Chang'an was taken back by Huang Chao again. For Chang'anHuang Chao was furious when he lost and recovered. He was furious that the people of Chang'an welcomed the Tang army. This "general who led the country" who was once welcomed by the citizens of Chang'an ruthlessly raised the butcher's knife in his hand and killed more than 80,000 people in the city.  All the men were killed and the city of Chang'an was bathed in blood.  After being driven out of Chang'an again, Huang Chao and his army began to reach their end, so Huang Chao could only mobilize heavy troops to attack Chenzhou.  However, a shortage of military rations soon appeared, so in less than a year, Huang Chao adopted a streamlined operation and used 3,000 giant hammers to pound a large number of living ordinary people, both men and women, young and old.  Grind it into a paste and supply it to his troops.  The people in Chenzhou were devoured, so they sent troops to attack the neighboring states of Xu, Ru, Tang, Deng, Meng, Zheng, Bian, Cao, Xu, Yan and so on. The purpose was just to steal people to eat, so it was once called  The "rebel" Huang Chao army has become a group of man-eating demons!  In the history of our country, many leaders of peasant uprisings, such as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Qin Dynasty, and Zhang Jiao, the leader of the "Yellow Turban Army" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, were all called "murderous demons", but in these cases they were called "murderous demons"  "Among the people, the most cruel and inhumane demon is cannibalism, and all cannibals are inferior to the rebels in the late Tang Dynasty led by Huang Chao. According to the most conservative estimates.  Huang Chao's army killed at least 300,000 people.  This act of eating people without spitting out their bones and using human flesh as military food is so brutal and horrifying that it can definitely be said to be unparalleled in ancient and modern times. It seems that only Hitler's act of massacring the Jews during World War II and then making it into chemical fertilizer can rival it.  .  The evil deeds of Huang Chao and the rebel army also doomed the uprising's ultimate failure. Under the attack of Tang Dynasty generals Li Keyong, Zhu Wen and others, in 884 AD, Huang Chao became his subordinate in Langhu Valley (today's Laiwu, Shandong) amid the rebellion and separation of relatives.  Killed, it is said that he killed himself.  From the uprising in 875 AD to the death of Huang Chao.  In less than ten years, according to incomplete statistics, eight million people (most of them civilians) died at the hands of Huang Chao and his rebel army.  Since Huangchao, the uprising armies of all dynasties in China have become a routine practice, such as Fangla Uprising in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Futong's "Red Scarf Army" uprising in the late Yuan Dynasty, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. Among these uprisings,  There are countless examples of massacres of cities and villages. As long as the uprising leaders find that the local people have welcomed and helped the enemy, then they will be defeated.  As long as the rebels go wherever they go, they will kill all the local people without leaving a trace, causing rivers of blood to flow, and they will not even starve to death tens of millions of people across the country.  It is not an uprising and a "revolution"!  The profound suffering of the Chinese nation stems from the devil in everyone's heart - proclaiming themselves king and emperor, making hundreds of millions of people kneel at their feet, and the mountains shouting long live.  And the Chinese nation is suffering even more profoundly.  But it comes from the slavish thoughts that are engraved into the bone marrow and deep into the soul of everyone - as long as we are never willing to stand up and just want to kneel down, then.  The suffering of the Chinese nation will continue.  "However, Huang Chao is not dead! Let's start with the earth bead on your body." Yang Guifei, who was living in Yang Li, said this and let out a long sigh, "When the nest thieves made trouble, I  Although I have been dead for nearly a hundred years, my ghost is still alive, because not only do I have Emperor Sanlang's dragon breath to protect my body, but I also have the Earth Pearl that Sanlang gave me - it was Emperor Zhongzong's marriage to Tubo and his general.  The adopted daughter Princess Jincheng married the Tibetan Zanpu Chi Daizhu Dan. Tubo gave the earth pearl to Emperor Zhongzong as a return gift. After Emperor Xuanzong came to the throne, he liked this bead very much, and then gave it to me. This earth bead, carrying  The spiritual energy of the sun and moon and the zodiac and the nine yin energy of the earth's veins attract all ghosts and demons to rely on it. Tubo Zanpu once said to Emperor Li and Tang at that time: Although this bead bears the spirit of creation, it captures the energy of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and is a treasure of heaven and earth.  , however, a small local king is not enough to suppress its momentum. Only the emperor who dominates the world can support it safely and securely. Only the Yang of the True Dragon Emperor can suppress it, and ordinary people support it.  Then the evil will be close to you, and you will have no peace in your life. This is why I asked you to return it to me earlier. "After I escaped from the Mawei Incident, I lived here for another forty years. Tang Dezongzhen.  In the twelfth year of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 796), when I died, I held in my mouth the earth bead that Saburo gave me that year. This earth bead gathered the spiritual energy of the sun and the moon and the nine yin energy of the earth veins to protect my body.  Transformation, the ghost is immortal, but a wisp of my ghost has been wandering in the world. All the changes in the country of the Tang Dynasty are all in my eyes. Seeing the decline of the Tang Dynasty, I am filled with emotion.  But I didn't expect that more than eighty years after my death, the Huangchao rebels rose up and raised their troops to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was gradually declining.  Yes, the living people are suffering, and even the ghosts of the dead buried underground will have their graves dug up by the Huangchao rebels" It turns out that in the third year of Zhonghe reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty (883 AD), Li Keyong of the Shatuo tribe  He led reinforcements to help the Tang Dynasty and led more than 10,000 troops southward, constantly approaching Huang Chao, who had occupied Chang'an and proclaimed himself emperor. At this time, Huang Chao's regime was desolate.Unethical and cruel, the so-called 200,000-strong garrison was actually killed by Li Ke with 10,000 troops and abandoned their armor. Huang Chao led the rest of his troops to escape from Chang'an. With an ambush in front and pursuers behind him, Huang Chao  The army soon experienced a shortage of food and wages. In addition to the above-mentioned massacre of ordinary people and grinding them into meat paste for food, Huang Chao also robbed tombs everywhere to collect rare treasures and convert them into gold and silver for food and wages. The tombs of several emperors of Li and Tang were robbed by him.  Pass.  The most important imperial tombs that Huang Chao stole were the three imperial tombs of Qinling, Maoling, and Qianling, which spanned the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties.  The Qin Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, the Maoling Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the Qianling Mausoleum is the joint tomb of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. The owners of the mausoleums are all incredible historical figures.  Who can compare to the tombs of the emperors of the three dynasties?  The imperial tombs of the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties are all located on the Guanzhong Plain, and are not too far apart, which also provides convenience for Huang Chao to steal the tombs.  Therefore, after the Guanzhong peasant uprising armies in past dynasties rebelled, they not only robbed tombs to raise food and wages.  They also used the destruction of imperial mausoleums as a heavy blow to declare war on feudal rulers to vent their resentment.  According to records of the Qianling Mausoleum, Huang Chao used 400,000 soldiers to excavate the mountain on the west side of Liangshan Mountain. It is said that almost half of Liangshan Mountain was excavated, but in the end only a 40-meter-deep "Huangchao Valley" was dug out, which is still traced to this day.  Can be found.  Because there were few educated people in the peasant army and the structure of Qianling was too strong, the soldiers could not figure out the internal structure of Qianling. As a result, they dug in the wrong direction, and Qianling escaped the disaster.  Otherwise it would not be saved today.  Based on the analysis of the actual situation at that time, among the three most mysterious and historic imperial tombs in the history of our country, Huang Chao would not have failed to seize any of them. The most likely to be excavated is Maoling, because Maoling has been damaged many times before.  Robbery, the entrance to the underground palace is easy to find.  But Huang Chao dug so many imperial tombs, and the treasures he dug were only a drop in the bucket of the huge food and salary expenditure.  At this moment, a military advisor beside Huang Chao said to Huang Chao that he had a jewel.  It is the heaven and earth spiritual stone grown in Tubo that seizes the creation of heaven, earth, sun and moon. If it can be found, it will be able to sell millions of taels of gold.  This military advisor.  It is Sun Wenchang, the descendant of Sun Jingdao, the Chief of Sitian Supervisor of the Xuanzong Dynasty of Tang Dynasty, and the orb he mentioned is naturally the Earth Pearl.  At that time, Changsun Jingdao once saw Emperor Xuanzong and Concubine Yang playing with this bead in the palace.  A once-in-a-lifetime fate will never be forgotten for the rest of our lives. It is regarded as the most precious treasure in heaven and earth.  Although Huang Chao is cruel and unethical.  But he possesses unparalleled talents and methods, especially his mastery of Bagua Yishu and Qimen Dunjia. This is one of the reasons why he was invincible when he led the rebel army in the early days. However, later he was really cruel and unjust and lost the hearts of the people.  , and ultimately failed to raise troops.  After hearing Changsun Wenchang explain the mystery about the earth bead, Huang Chao immediately ordered him to find the whereabouts of the earth bead. Changsun Wenchang looked around and found it, thinking that it was very likely that the earth bead was brought into the mausoleum by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Although according to his ancestors  According to Changsun Jingdao's posthumous works, the Earth Pearl was once awarded to Concubine Yang by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. However, it was well known at that time that Concubine Yang had "died" in Maweiyi, and the Earth Pearl should have been taken back by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.  Therefore, the eldest son Wenchang believed that the Earth Pearl was hidden under the Tailing Tomb of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, so he instigated Huangchao to excavate the Tailing Tomb.  Later generations say that the first time Tailing was stolen was by Wen Yun, the former Jiedushi envoy after Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty. In fact, it was Huang Chao who got there first. Although many gold and silver treasures were stolen, Huang Chao never met his eldest grandson.  The earth beads in Wen Chang's mouth.  Up until this moment, the two of them had been discussing for a long time. After calculating Yang Guifei's birth date, they found that she had a lifespan of seventy-eight years. This discovery made Huang Chao very excited. It was obvious that Yang Guifei did not die in "Mawei".  "Change", but died at a long life.  Huang Chaohe and Chang Sun Wenchang observed the sky in the cave, and based on various clues such as the mutiny of the Imperial Guards in Maweiyi, they gradually figured out the escape route of Concubine Yang after using the "swap trick" to escape the disaster. In the end, they were neutralized by Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty.  In 884 AD, the tomb of Concubine Yang was found with "Yang Taizhen" written on the tombstone.  At that time, Huang Chao was like a lost dog under the attack of Tang soldiers. If he could find this earth pearl, even if he failed to raise the army, but he could raise enough gold and silver, he would have a chance to make a comeback in the future.  After digging up Concubine Yang's grave and opening the coffin, the scene in front of them shocked everyone present, especially Huang Chao: the female body in the coffin was uncorrupted, with white skin and long eyelashes. Although she was seventy-eight years old, she looked like a  A woman in her forties, she was actually a mature woman. She was plump and graceful. Looking at her face, she was indeed the most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty. This appearance of a woman shy of the moon, a look of a fish and a geese, turned out to be nearly a hundred years after her death.  Now, even when she is an octogenarian woman, she can still make people think about her and make them fall in love with her!  Huang Chao couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, thinking that after all, he had been the emperor of the "Daqi" regime for a few years, and he also searched for beauties all over the world. There were three thousand beauties in the harem, but no one could match the beauty of Yang Yuhuan, the eternal beauty!  Thinking back to the time when Concubine Yang danced and sang for Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in Huaqing Pool, what a blessing in the world and bliss in heaven!  Such a peerless beauty, even though she has become an old woman, still retains such a charming face. Huang Chao couldn't help but feel a lot of hatred in his heart. He hated himself for his bad luck and failure to succeed as an emperor, and he also hated Tang Xuanzong for his great blessings. Not only did he create a great empire,  Tang Dynasty, and you can also spend time together with the most beautiful woman in the country!  After beating his chest and feet, Huang Chao immediately ordered that all the grave diggers who had seen Yang Yuhuan's face be killed. Only the eldest son Wenchang, who helped him find Yang Guifei's tomb, was spared.  The reason for killing them is just to prevent them from spreading the word that "Huang Chao has no chance to win the most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty"!  Later, the eldest son Wenchang discovered that there seemed to be a foreign object in the mouth of Yang Guifei's body. When he opened it, he saw a bead with strobing light that looked like a pill. It was the Diying Pearl. Huang Chao found the bead.  After looking back several times, she couldn't bear to leave, and then tore up the burial clothes worn by Concubine Yang's body - even if she didn't have the chance to own it, she still wanted to see the body of Concubine Yang, and she would be able to see with her own eyes the unparalleled elegance of this most beautiful woman of all time.  , but when he had just stripped off Concubine Yang's burial clothes, he suddenly discovered that her body quickly turned black and shriveled, completely different from the previous appearance of icy flesh and jade bones. Even if he smelled a putrid smell, he immediately realized  Come out: The reason why Concubine Yang¡¯s body will not rot for a hundred years.  It was because this earth bead protected her body, and now that he had taken the earth bead from her mouth, the body would naturally decay quickly.  Huang Chao immediately buried the body in the loess without even stuffing it in, and then led his troops to continue fleeing.  After Huang Chao obtained the earth bead, he found that it was not easy to get rid of it, because many people would get strange things when they touched the bead.  Either they commit suicide by jumping into a well, or they fall off a cliff and become disabled. Many people think this bead is an ominous thing.  However, in the fifth year of Zhonghe reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 885), a squire named Zhao Tiao, who had served as county magistrate in many places in the Tang Dynasty, appeared.  He bought the earth pearl for ten thousand taels of gold. The strange thing is that Zhao Tiao was not "cursed" by the earth pearl.  After Zhao Tiao died, the earth beads were passed on to his son Zhao Jue.  After Zhao Jue's death, the earth beads were passed to his son Zhao Jing, who in turn passed them to his son Zhao Hongyin.  After Zhao Hongyin died, the earth pearl was naturally passed on to his son - Zhao Kuangyin. Who is this Zhao Kuangyin?  This was Song Taizu, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty.  From then on, this earth bead was passed on to the hands of the emperors of Zhao and Song Dynasties, and was passed to the hands of Song Qinzong, the last emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, after the "Jingkang Incident", the two emperors Huiqin were kidnapped to the Jin Kingdom, and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. After that, the Song Dynasty  When they were crossing the country south, the earth bead was captured by the powerful official Zhang Bangchang. Unfortunately, this Bangchang's treacherous officials did not have the momentum of a real dragon to hold down the pearl. The ghosts attracted by the earth bead repeatedly invaded Zhang Bangchang. Later, Zhang Bangchang was punished and executed by Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty.  He was the only civil servant killed by the Song Dynasty.  Zhang Bangchang's family knew that the pearl here was an ominous thing, worthy only of the emperor's family, so they buried it under a thousand-year-old cedar tree in the palace of the imperial capital Hangzhou. This was not only to cover up their own pearl theft, but also to destroy the land in disguise.  The pearl was returned to the Zhao emperor.  There is no need to describe this later - Luo Qingyang, a master of Xuanmen in the Southern Song Dynasty, searched all over the world and found this earth pearl under the cedar tree in the imperial palace. However, it was mistaken by Emperor Zhao Gou for a pill, so that Luo Qingyang was massacred.  After his death, the tomb was set up by an expert and the most evil thing in the history was set by his mother and son.  It can be seen from this that if ordinary people obtain this earth pearl, they will always bring disaster to themselves.  But the strange thing is that I finally obtained this earth bead from Luo Qingyang¡¯s corpse, and I have been holding it for several months now, but I have not encountered any major disasters. Some dangers have been taken on my own initiative¡ª¡ª  For example, he encountered the "forbidden life and death" in the Huang family's Luopan compound.  "The Earth Bead was finally acquired by you, young gentleman. It should be noted that for more than a thousand years, I have been looking for the Earth Bead everywhere. Just because your destiny can suppress the evil spirit of all ghosts and demons in the Earth Bead, this is really true.  It's too mysterious, and I found you based on this omen. Hey, this is really a blessing. Since this earth bead is destined to you, and you want to use it to accomplish some big things, you can do it for yourself.  Come on!" After what Yang Guifei said, Yang Tiancong, Mayor Yang and his wife were already stunned, but they heard her sigh in annoyance, "Now, since this was given to me by Sanlang.  Now that the earth pearl has been found, I will still look for the Tang Dynasty bandit and the eternal sinner Huang Chao, who has disappeared for more than a thousand years!  The thief found the tomb, dug up my tomb, stole my earth beads, and ruined my body. What a shame. What¡¯s more, he also tore my burial clothes and humiliated my body!  Mausoleum, this Huangchao traitor is still the major sinner of the destruction of our Tang Dynasty! This is a shame and a shame, and both humans and gods are outraged. I vow to find the body and ghost of this Huangchao traitor and let him die, even if it takes a thousand or ten thousand years.  No burial place, no reincarnation forever! " "'General Qing Emperor's soul is still alive', you said that Huang Chao was not killed after the uprising was defeated, but he escaped from his life and death just like you did back then.  , Where did he go in the end, and how did he plan the eternal hermitage of the Tianting Sect and continue to cause evil? " "This is inseparable from the Yang family's Leiyan people" "  What?¡± I immediately trembled, ¡°This Huang Chao is actually related to the ancient mystery of Xuanmen?¡± ******************  ** ps: Today¡¯s day?, 6500 words, thank you all book friends for your support!
