Sun Daqiao waved his hand: "Hey, this craft is at best just a subsistence, if you want to say that you are really proficient in shadow puppetry, you have to count the shadow puppeteer's grandfather Fang Shi Li Shaoweng." ”

"Li Shaoweng?"

Everyone became curious about this name and urged Sun Daqiao to talk about the allusions.

Sun Daqiao coughed a few times and picked up his attitude: "This matter is still related to Madame Li, the favorite concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty." ”

"Or is it him?"

Yue Erpao has heard a lot of stories about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Mrs. Li along the way, first Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a soul platform for Mrs. Li, and then he made some corpse beads that do not rot after death, and now there is a shadow puppet, he only feels that this old emperor is too willing to pay his blood for this favorite concubine.

Sun Daqiao nodded at everyone: "It is indeed him, I can only say that Mrs. Li is too smart, even if she is terminally ill, she can make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty an army and make him read his own life......"

Among the many concubines of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Mrs. Li's background is not high, even if she is Wei Zifu, she is only a slave of Princess Pingyang, and she can be regarded as a good person, and the Li family is even involved in crime.

Her brother Li Yannian was punished by the palace for committing a crime in his early years and entered the palace as a dog slave, because he was quite fluent in music and was very good at singing and dancing, he was appreciated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as a pre-imperial music official.

Once, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty held a banquet to celebrate his sister Princess Pingyang, and Li Yannian sang when playing music for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "There is a beautiful woman in the north, with a peerless demeanor, slim and elegant, looking back at the city and looking back, looking back and hoping to overturn the country, don't you know the disaster of the city and the country, just because the beauty is difficult to get again!" ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is known to be a celebrity who seeks beauty and heavy color, and Princess Pingyang has offered him many times to present women into the palace, at this moment, hearing Li Yannian's singing, he is so interested that he sighed: "Is there really such a stunning person in the world?" ”

Of course, Princess Pingyang understood her younger brother's "thoughts", and immediately recommended Li Yannian's sister Li to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, bluntly saying that Li was handsome and comparable to Yu Ji.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to be interested, called Li to come to see Tianyan, when he saw her, he really saw that this woman looked like Yu Ji, beautiful as a fairy, so he included Li in the harem as a lady, after that, Li was favored for many years for Emperor Wu of Han to give birth to a prince, just when the harem concubines thought that they had no luxury of being favored, Li suddenly fell ill and had no doctor, and soon weakened.

After getting this news, all the concubines and concubines exhaled, if the Li family could not serve the monarch, then their opportunity would come, and they would also be happy to see the weakened face of the Li family, so that she would never lose her favor and it would be difficult to regain her favor.

Li was born at the bottom, because of her beauty, she was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, she knew too well that losing her beauty meant losing her grace, and she also knew that many concubines were waiting to see the jokes when they saw that they had no medicine, and she knew better that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty might indeed withdraw his favor because of her declining color.

If it was an ordinary person, he would definitely take advantage of his illness and weakness to pretend to be pitiful, and do everything possible to attract Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so that he could take advantage of her illness and weakness to give his brothers an official rank, but as a low-level person, the Li family has been immersed in the struggle of the Han Palace for a long time, and knows that these ordinary methods are not very effective, so he specially came to an unusual path, so that all the palace concubines' ideas fell through.

On that day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that Mrs. Li was dying, so he went to her palace to see her for the last time, and the Li family knew that he was coming, so he immediately closed the door of the palace and stopped Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty outside, bluntly saying that when he was sick and weak for a long time, his appearance was depressed, and it was really not suitable to see the king.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that time was running out for the Li family, and said that as long as she was willing to meet, he would give his brothers and relatives an official rank and knighthood, and give them endless glory and wealth.

Even so, Mrs. Li still turned him away, and said that it was Emperor Wu's own business that had nothing to do with her, but her haggard appearance was indeed not suitable for her to face the saint, and if the monarch insisted on asking her to see the saint when she was sick, she would rather swallow the hairpin and commit suicide immediately.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw that she didn't eat oil and salt, so he had to dismiss the idea of seeing her again, just glanced at her from a distance through the bead curtain, and left in a huff.

After Emperor Wu of Han left, the servants around him were very curious, in their opinion, Mrs. Li could take advantage of her illness and weakness to make some requests to Emperor Wu of Han, presumably, Emperor Wu of Han would gladly agree, but in the eyes of Mrs. Li, this was not the case at all.

In her opinion, she will gain favor because of her good looks, and she will inevitably fall out of favor because of her declining appearance, which is the fate of those who are lustful - love relaxation and love relaxation, and love relaxation will be graceful.

Li even if he died of illness did not want to meet, although Emperor Wu left regrets, but to some extent preserved the glory and wealth of the Li family, after her death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took pity on her early death, posthumously named her Empress Xiaowu, and let the painter paint the most beautiful appearance of her youth, hanging in Ganquan Palace day and night, and enjoy the temple worship after death.

And for her brothers, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also thought of her goodness, first named Li Guangli as the general of the second division, and then listed Haixi Marquis, even Li Yannian, who had become a eunuch, was also given the official position of the commander of the Xielu Commander.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did all this because he missed Mrs. Li, and at the moment she died, her shocking appearance was frozen in Emperor Wu's mind and became an eternal memory.

After that, the concubines of the harem began to get old and wrinkled, and even described as ugly, even Emperor Wu's most satisfied Wei Zifu was described by him as an ugly old woman who refused to meet, looking at the palace concubines who were becoming more and more unbearable, the first thing he thought of must be Mrs. Li, who looked like a fairy.

What's even more terrifying is that Mrs. Li is dead, and her image will be constantly beautified by the memory of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty until she becomes an unreachable goddess, so that the more Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty remembers her, the more he will pity the Li family, which can be regarded as preserving the glory and wealth of their family.

Just imagine, if Mrs. Li dragged her ugly and sick appearance and let Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty meet, he would probably be startled when he saw Li's sick appearance and fatigue without makeup, and after that, when he thought of Mrs. Li, he must have seen the last time he saw when he was sick and weak, so he would definitely be disgusted with the Li family, and the Empress Chen, whom he hated, has been under house arrest in Changmen Palace.

If this is the case, the Li family will definitely not have the grace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

Li knows this clearly, and by not seeing her until she dies, she can avoid this risk, she can do this, it can be said that she has seen through the coldness of people's hearts, and also saw through Liu Che's flowery search for willows.

Looking at it now, Mrs. Li's risky move is the right one, after her death, Martial Emperor Liu Che continued to build the soul platform to attract the soul of the Li family, and even created a corpse pill for her to search for Fangshi, in order to retain her beauty after death.

When Li Shaoweng appeared, it happened to be the time when Emperor Wu became a loner!

At this time, the concubines of the harem died of old and weak, the old queen Wei Zifu committed suicide to prove his innocence because of the unwarranted witch curse, and the prince resisted to no avail and committed suicide in fear of crime.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed all the people around him, and even killed his own grandson!

It is estimated that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not expect that he just wanted to find out the scourge of witchcraft, and actually implicated nearly 100,000 deaths in the former dynasty, harem, and people.

In order to appease the anger of the unjust soul, he had to look for the priest to appease the soul of the dead for him, and as for meeting the soul of Mrs. Li, it was an accessory to appease the soul.

Li Shaoweng knew that the unjust souls in Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were all fake, and their essence was that the killing was too emotionally damaged, as long as he solved the source of his fear, he could dispel this fear, and to put it more popularly, he needed to let a deceased who was familiar with Emperor Wu act as an intermediary to appease these souls.

This person is none other than Mrs. Li!

Li died when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved her the most, let him be old and faint, in the face of Mrs. Li, he was still the heroic emperor, and the other concubines lived in the palace for a long time and were disgusted by him, and it was inevitable that they would be resentful, only Mrs. Li died early, and she had not had time to experience the affection of Emperor Wu of Han, and the two of them did not have any suspicions.

To this end, Li Shaoweng first made the figure of Mrs. Li out of animal skin, then erected a white cloth in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and waited for the candle flame to pass through the shadow puppet, and immediately reflected the image of Madame Li on the white cloth, so that he could use these clever methods to bring Mrs. Li's soul back to life.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed by this, rewarded Li Shaoweng heavily, and at the same time, asked Mrs. Li to bring him a decree to pardon those who were unjustly killed by him, and hold a ritual to calm their souls.

It can be said that shadow puppets were made and existed as a container for the soul, belonging to a kind of witchcraft in ancient times, with the purpose of attracting the soul of the dead.

After this action, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was slightly relieved, and finally no longer had nightmares, although he later knew that this was just Li Shaoweng's shadow puppet technique, but his heart knot was untied, it was indeed a certainty, not only did not punish Li Shaoweng, but canonized Li Shaoweng as the minister's doctor.

The most ironic thing about the whole thing lies in the inconsistency of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

For the first time in his life, he confiscated the witch Gu and deposed Empress Chen, which made Chen Ajiao die depressed. The second time he confiscated the witchcraft and burned his anger at Wei Zifu, the old queen committed suicide and the prince was forced to rebel.

He kept saying that he didn't want the witch Gu to cause chaos in the world, but in fact, he was just using the witch Gu as an arrow to eradicate dissidents and consolidate the imperial power, and he probably believed this statement himself.

Ironically, in his later years, he was using witchcraft to heal his mind and calm himself at ease.

After that, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty remembered the innocent souls who were killed by his faint love power, and remembered the elderly queen and the middle-aged prince who hugged his grandson, and he probably couldn't help but die, and he killed himself with his own hands as a lonely person, this loneliness and loneliness are definitely unbearable.

When Sun Daqiao said this, he had clearly introduced the past of shadow puppetry, and Yue Guanchao said: "If you want to say that, shadow puppetry is a psychic tool!" ”
