Beheaded. The soldiers were divided and reckless, and the branches and muscles were divided, and dozens of people were killed in a row......

At the beginning of the reckless first recitation, the city of Hangwan, the people jointly attacked it, or cut its tongue.

According to the Hanshu book, after Wang Mang's death, the people were not angry, not only dismantled his body into eight pieces, but even cut off his head and hung it on the streets of the market, allowing the people to carry sticks and ram them, and use them as sandbags to vent their anger.

What's more, he directly cut off Wang Mang's tongue with a knife and borrowed wine to eat it.

According to legend, Wang Mang's head was collected by the royal family of all dynasties until the period of Emperor Hui of Jin, when the Luoyang arsenal was burned and Wang Mang's head was burned.

I learned this story when I was in school, so I nodded at Qin Huan.

He took a few puffs of cigarette from my hand, put it in his mouth, and said softly: "In the late Western Han Dynasty, there was a no-nose wandering Taoist with the Taoist name Mowenshan, who claimed to be a lack of noodles. And it is said that Wang Mang's new dynasty regime was overthrown, all because of the credit of this old way. ”

One day at the entrance of the market, Wang Mang happened to see a drunken old man with no nose and a scary face, and out of curiosity, he sent someone to call the old man to the front to ask.

Lao Dao said that his nose was bitten off by Qiu (qiu2) in a well when he was a child, and because of this, he accidentally inhaled a trace of dragon breath at that time, and later learned that Tiandao was a monk.

Wang Mang asked Lao Dao which gym he was going to go to, but Lao Dao said that he had never learned Taoism, and his title as a Mo Wenshan man was self-proclaimed.

But when the old man left, he burped and dropped a sentence - the lonely and widow is bent on breaking the man, and the guests in and out are looped with a sword.

Wang Mang was shocked when he heard this, and rushed over to grab Lao Dao when he turned around.

Wang Mang immediately sent someone to purge everyone in the entire street, and no one was even allowed to stay in the shop, and then pulled Lao Dao to sit on the small table in the teahouse on the street, and asked him where these two poems came from and why he told this poem to himself.

Because of these two poems, Wang Mang understood the first half of the sentence at once.

Ancient emperors often called themselves "lonely" or "widows" because they thought that they were the Son of Heaven, different from everyone else in the world, and were lonely.

The idiom of being alone is the humble title of the ancient emperor.

Therefore, it is estimated that Wang Mang at that time thought that the meaning of this half of the poem of Lao Dao was: A person with the emperor's life is wholeheartedly trying to end the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Ridiculous yes, this sentence is understood today, but it has a completely different meaning.

We have all studied history and know that after the Western Han Dynasty was usurped by Wang Mang, he did not become the emperor for the rest of his life, but was defeated by the Green Forest Army led by Liu Xiu and others soon after, and Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Therefore, if this poem is put to the present, then the word "broken" cannot be understood as the final break.

I am afraid that it is more appropriate to understand it as "truncated", because the new dynasty established by Wang Mang was only sandwiched between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty.

Lao Dao didn't explain the meaning of the second half of the poem under Wang Mang's inquiry, and just told him that this poem was thought of in a dream, but Wang Mang was very happy and felt that God had given him a revelation.

After that, Wang Mang asked Lao Dao for a sum of money, but Lao Dao didn't ask for it, so he just brought a braised chicken head out of the back kitchen of the tavern next door and asked Wang Mang to pay.

At this point, I couldn't help but interrupt the story, "I don't deny that this story is interesting, but does it have anything to do with what happened to us now?" ”

Qin Huan snapped his fingers, "Of course, if you let me finish speaking, it's okay." ”

The story after that is a bit magical.

Wang Mang happily threw the money on the table to pay for Lao Dao, but Lao Dao suddenly stuffed the oiled paper bag wrapped in braised chicken head into Wang Mang's arms, and told him: I will give you a head on credit today, and when you become emperor in the future, I will come and take away a head.

Wang Mang was very happy, this was equivalent to a token given by the master, so he instructed his subordinates to collect it and hide it in a cool place for preservation, and wait for the old Taoist to come and get it in the future.

When Qin Huan said this, I suddenly realized, "In this way, this faceless man is actually a credit knife man." It's just that he was on credit for the braised chicken head, but he wanted Wang Mang's head, but the person concerned misunderstood. ”

"That's right, this Dao name is Mo Wenshanren's Missing Face, in fact, he is the founding ancestor of our six evil paths, and he is our top boss."

According to my understanding of history and some interpretations of modern scholars, it is said that the purpose of the emperors of the past dynasties to collect Wang Mang's head was to warn future generations, but Qin Huan's story has given it a more mysterious meaning.

Qin Huan said that after Wang Mang was defeated and killed, the missing face took away the head, which was considered to have completed his method of credit back then, and then the head lost its effect, and it flowed into the palace and became a special collection.

After that, Qin Huan gave me a few seconds to digest before continuing: "Then do you know what the second half of the poem means? ”

I didn't quite understand this half of the sentence, so Qin Huan explained to me that there is a word called Xingshang Zajia (read gu3 here), which means that those who drive horse-drawn carts and ox carts around to sell goods are called "merchants", and those who settle down in the market to open shops and do business are called "Jia".

But whether it is a businessman or a businessman, the core of their money-making method is to buy low and sell high without exception, and it is also commonly said that it is to purchase and ship, so the entry and exit of customers mentioned in the second half of the poem should refer to businessmen.

In the last years of Wang Mang's new dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and dozens of peasant rebel armies tried to overthrow his regime, until finally the Green Forest Army invaded Chang'an and the citizens of the city entered the palace together, including a merchant named Du Wu, who rushed to the high platform and killed Wang Mang with a sword.

Therefore, the real meaning of these two poems should be: Wang Mang wanted to overthrow the Western Han Dynasty and establish his own dynasty, but unexpectedly he was killed by a Chang'an merchant wielding a sword, and the new dynasty that overthrew the Western Han Dynasty perished, and finally the Eastern Han Dynasty was established, and the Han dynasty was looped.

"Little junior brother, I originally only knew that this Longhuan Cave was dug by the Sentence Town Kingdom and the Dian Kingdom, but since I learned the story that Missing Noodles had given Wang Mang a chicken head on credit, I felt that the Longhuan Cave should have been completed under the guidance of Missing Noodles. So we have to catch the girl who looks at the sky, she is a descendant of the credit family, and she will definitely be able to see something in this cave that we can't see. ”

It turned out that this was Qin Huan's plan, although there was no direct evidence to prove that the two caves of Long Huan and Fenghe must have something to do with the missing face himself, but there are some things in the world that often don't need evidence, because there is something called intuition.

My intuition also tells me that the two caves of Grandpa Lack of Noodles and Long Huan Fenghe have a great relationship, and he is using the magic of the sword man on credit.

So if we want to know the whereabouts of the soft gold vertebrae, then Guantian is naturally our first choice.

There are no exceptions.
