Spoiler: The mystery of Fu Shanxiang's life, appearance, and experience

Regarding Fu Shanxiang, I believe everyone can also see that she will become the heroine of this book, but she is still in a state of diving.

The following is a brief introduction to Fu Shanxiang's personal information:

When she was eight years old, her parents died one after another, and the family declined rapidly. When she was 13 years old, her brother obeyed her father's order and married her to the Li family. Her husband was six years younger than her, an ignorant child. When she was 18 years old, her husband died of measles, and young Shanxiang became a widow overnight before she had a round house.

After burying her son, the ruthless mother-in-law planned to sell her for silver taels. At this time, Fu Shanxiang could no longer live in the Li family.

The first chapter of the book is based on the stories of real historical figures.

On January 11, 1851, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom staged an armed uprising in Jintian Village, Guiping, Guangxi. On March 19, 1853, the Taiping army captured Nanjing and renamed it Tianjing, making it the capital of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Fu Shanxiang resolutely defected to the Taiping Army when he had no way out.

In the late spring of 1853, Hong Xiuquan issued an edict to open the armor and take the scholars, and at the same time break the routine and increase the "female department"; This is unprecedented in Chinese history. The chief examiner of the male subject is Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, and the chief examiner of the female subject is Hong Xiuquan's sister Hong Xuanjiao. Fu Shanxiang abandoned secular prejudices and bravely signed up for the women's exam. At that time, there were more than 600 men and women who participated in the scientific examination, and the questions of the male and female subjects were the same, all of which were "the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Heavenly Father, Heavenly Brother, Heavenly King, and the True Emperor's Strategy". Fu Shanxiang in the examination room showed her superhuman talent, she picked up the pen, the thoughts flowed, and she was talented, and she swiped the pen in an instant. Her articles are full of essence, every word is beautiful, and more than 10,000 are sprinkled, and she won unanimous praise from the marking officials in the initial evaluation.

After layers of selection, Fu Shanxiang's article was finally sent to the desk of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East. After reading it, the king of the east was immediately impressed by this talented article, especially the point in the article, which made him even more happy: "The three emperors are not enough to be emperors, and the five emperors are not enough to be emperors, but my emperor is the true emperor." So "Huyan Dayue", mentioning Zhu Bi, did not hesitate to point Fu Shanxiang as the champion of women's science. Fu Shanxiang won the first place in the Dingjia examination, becoming the first female champion in Chinese history and the only female champion.

After the imperial examination, Yang Xiuqing personally ordered Fu Shanxiang to be recruited into the Dongwang Mansion and reused. Soon, the king of the east issued an edict appointing Fu Shanxiang as the "maid history". Responsible for the drafting of the edict of the Eastern King and the collation of documents. Because of his shrewdness and ability, Fu Shanxiang was later promoted to "Shushu" and helped Dongwang to review all the correspondence and books.

Fu Shanxiang's talent also gradually aroused the interest of the Heavenly King's Mansion across the wall, and the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan greeted Yang Xiuqing several times and borrowed Fu Shanxiang to handle government affairs, and each time Fu Shanxiang was able to complete the task assigned by the Heavenly King excellently.

In March 1854, the Emperor Hong Xiuquan issued an edict appointing Fu Shanxiang as the "Reward Prime Minister", ranking in the state department, subordinate to the six departments of the Heavenly King's Mansion, and the main responsibility is still to assist the East King in handling government affairs.

After Hong Xiu set the capital of Tianjing, he carried out a series of social changes. In this change, Yang Xiuqing played a decisive role. With a cool head and a deep gaze, Fu Shanxiang not only helped Dongwang formulate new policies, but also tried his best to persuade Dongwang to protect culture and abolish some unreasonable measures.

In June 1854, under the influence of Fu Shanxiang, Yang Xiuqing, in the name of "speaking on behalf of the Heavenly Father", revised the cultural policy of the Kingdom of Heaven to only publish the Old and New Testaments and depreciated all ancient books as "demon books", abolished the "women's pavilion" that allowed women to separate their husbands, restored the family system and allowed young women to marry. Fu Shanxiang persuaded Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, to strictly prohibit his subordinates from destroying cultural relics, and to establish a large-scale museum in the palace of the East King. This series of measures has made a significant contribution to the protection and development of Tianjing's cultural relics. At the same time, Fu Shanxiang also helped Yang Xiuqing formulate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's policy of emancipating women, advocating "equality between men and women", "all women in the world are sisters", "one heart and one heart to kill demons".

Inspired by the policy of emancipating women, a large number of suffering women enthusiastically joined the army and fought wherever the Taiping Army went. In addition, Fu Shanxiang also strongly persuaded Yang Xiuqing to abolish the ordinance that women were not allowed to remarry.

Fu Shanxiang, with his special status, reversed the unfavorable situation caused by the short-sightedness of the rulers in a certain way, and contributed to the stability and development of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the early stage, and Fu Shanxiang was unanimously praised by the people of heaven. At that time, there was a saying that "Wu has Hong Xuanjiao, and Wen has Fu Shanxiang".

After only four short years of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's march from Guangxi to Tianjing, these peasant leaders lost their way.

Ahead, while the soldiers of the Taiping Army were fighting bloody battles in various places, these peasant leaders were accelerating their corruption and degeneration. From the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan to the three kings of the East, the North and the Wing, they all built gorgeous palaces in Tianjing.

In addition, the peasant leaders also made a big show of pomp, and when they traveled, they hugged each other and served hundreds of people. It is said that the king of the east had 66 wives and concubines. Despite this, Dongwang was not satisfied, and constantly looked for more beautiful women.

In this form, Fu Shanxiang, who is alluring in appearance, is no exception. Through guò power, Yang Xiuqing turned the beautiful Fu Shanxiang into the prey of his plate and occupied her for a long time. Since then, Fu Shanxiang's work has little to do with state affairs, and since then, talented women have become "treasures", and jade people have become stunners.

At the same time, Yang Xiuqing's personal ambition was also growing rapidly, and his disobedience began to germinate. And in dealing with his former comrades-in-arms and subordinates, he also made the mistake of being strict, he attacked from all sides, made enemies everywhere, and his subordinates and comrades-in-arms also accumulated more and more resentment towards him.

In this regard, the smart Fu Shanxiang constantly persuaded Yang Xiuqing to change his course and pay attention to treating his subordinates and colleagues well. But Yang Xiuqing, who was obsessed with ghosts, not only reprimanded Fu Shanxiang for "interfering in politics" on the spot, but also ordered someone to whip Fu Shanxiang severely.

Finally, in August 1856, the "Tenkyo Incident" broke out. Under Hong Xiuquan's secret order, Wei Changhui led 3,000 personal soldiers to rush back to Tianjing overnight, and with the cooperation of Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, he killed a chicken and dog in the Dongwangfu, and more than 20,000 Taiping soldiers were beheaded in different places, and their bodies were thrown in the Qinhuai River, and the river was dyed red. Then Hong Xiuquan counterattacked and killed Wei Changhui again. The entire Tianjing was full of blood, and corpses were everywhere.

Fu Shanxiang was also killed in the rebellion, and his body was thrown into the river and went with the water.

The mystery of the ending

There are three versions of Fu Shanxiang's whereabouts:

First, the most common thing is that Fu Shanxiang, the highest-ranking female official in the Eastern Palace, was also killed in the chaos, and her body was thrown into the river and flowed away with the water. A generation of talented women has since disappeared, leaving an endless tragic story in the world.

Second, the beautiful and amorous Fu Shanxiang was fortunate to escape this catastrophe, but he did not forget the love of the East King, so he organized the remnants of the East Palace, and the Wing King Shi Dakai to jointly attack the West Palace, avenging Yang Xiuqing. It is said that there is also an ancient monument with Chinese characters as proof.

Third, the historical materials excavated from the TV series "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" deal with the plot of Fu Shanxiang's whereabouts, although it is a bit far-fetched, but it is quite poetic: a generation of talented women Fu Shanxiang buried a lot of information about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the jade seal of the Eastern King in the middle of the night in the fire of quelling the civil strife, leaving it for future generations to comment. Then, nowhere to be found.
