The reason why Dong Liuxiao classified this unexpected sound of horses' hooves as the government's tolerance to hunt down fugitives such as "flying thieves" is because Dong Liuxiao has read a barnyard official history of "Flying Thieves".

The so-called history of barnyard officials is an old novel and a history book compiled by private individuals.

[Source]: Eastern Han Dynasty Ban Gu "Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles": "The flow of novelists is covered by barnyard officials, street talk, and hearsay. ”

"Flying thief" surnamed Zhao Feiyan,

Zhao Feiyan. There are people in history.

Zhao Feiyan, whose original name is not recorded in the official history, is usually identified as Yizhu, is the empress of Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty and the empress dowager of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty. Zhao Feiyan is a legendary figure and a mythical beauty in Chinese history. There are only a few sentences of description of her in the "Book of Han", and there are very few records of her in the official history, but there are many wild history books about her, and the story of Zhao Feiyan and her sister Zhao Hede is a process of continuous circulation and gradual enrichment and development, especially the "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" and "Feiyan Biography" are the most far-reaching. In Chinese folk and history, she is known for her beauty, and the so-called "Huan Fat Yan Thin" is about her and Yang Yuhuan, and Yan Thin is also often used as a metaphor for a light and thin beauty. At the same time, she also became a representative figure of the obscene emperor because of her beauty.

Zhao Feiyan was born as a commoner, and his father Zhao Lin was a slave in the government. Zhao Feiyan was abandoned after giving birth. Three days later, she was still alive, so he took her home and raised her. When she grew up, she became a beautiful woman and became a courtesan in Princess Yang's house, and began to learn singing and dancing. The origin of the Zhao sisters in Feiyan Gaiden is more legendary, Feng Wanjin, the housekeeper of Jiangdu Lieutenant Zhao Man, committed adultery with the granddaughter of the king of Jiangdu, the lord of Gusu, and then the lord of Gusu became pregnant, and the lord of Gusu gave birth to two daughters, which are the Zhao sisters, and then the lord of Gusu abandoned the two illegitimate daughters. Three days later, the county lord of Gusu found them alive. Yu Xin couldn't bear it, so he took them back and handed them over to Feng Wanjin to raise, but later because of his father's death. The Feng family fell into decay and fell from Gusu to Chang'an. He was called Master Zhao. Later, he used embroidery to curry favor with Zhao Lin, the chief manager of Princess Yang'a, and became his daughter-in-law. "Farewell to Zhao Feiyan" also described the sisters as selling straw sandals in the market because they were lonely and helpless. Discovered in Gansu in 1909, the Southern Song Dynasty Pingyang woodcut New Year painting "Sui Dynasty Slender Presents the Grace of the Country", also known as "Four Beauties", depicts Wang Zhaojun, Zhao Feiyan, Ban Ji, Yang Yuhuan four ancient beauties.

Zhao Feiyan, the second empress of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty. The dancing skills are wonderful, she and her sister Zhao Hede are the same Zhaoyi, and she has been favored by Emperor Cheng for nearly ten years, and she is in the harem. What is the reason for her to "collect the love of 3,000 people in one"? This has to start with Zhao Feiyan's family. Zhao Feiyan's father, Zhao Man, was a domestic slave in the Han Dynasty palace and lived a poor life. After Zhao Feiyan gave birth, her father threw her into the wilderness because she couldn't afford to raise her. Zhao Man always dreamed that the baby was crying at night, and when he went to look for it four days later, the child was not dead. Zhao Man took her home again and barely fed her. Because Zhao Feiyan's family was poor, he was sold to Princess Yang'a's house to work as a kabuki at a very young age. Zhao Feiyan is gifted and intelligent, and has developed a charming singing voice and superb dancing skills.

Zhao Feiyan was abandoned by her parents after she was born, but she was still alive three days later, and her parents also felt strange and began to nurture her. When she was a little older, she and her sister Hede were sent to Princess Yang's Mansion and began to learn singing and dancing. She is extremely talented, has learned a good piano skill, and her dancing style is outstanding. Emperor Liu Biao of the Han Dynasty likes to have fun, often goes out with Fuping Hou Zhang to have fun, he saw Zhao Feiyan at the house of Princess Yang'a, he was very happy, he called her into the palace, named Jieyu, extremely favored, and then abolished Queen Xu E, Li Feiyan was the queen, Zhao Feiyan's sister Zhao Hede was also set up as Zhaoyi, the two sisters favored the harem, prominent for a while. After the death of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Feiyan's sisters had no children, and Liu Xin, the king of Dingtao, ascended the throne, that is, Emperor Ai of Han, Zhao Feiyan was respected as the queen mother, Emperor Ai of Han died within a few years, Emperor Liu Yan of Han Ping ascended the throne, and Zhao Feiyan was demoted to a concubine. At that time, there was such a nursery rhyme among the people: "Yan swallowtail salivation, Zhang Gongzi, see you when you meet." Wooden door Canglang Langlang, Yan Fei came, pecked the emperor's grandson, the emperor's grandson died, and the swallow pecked the arrow. "It's Zhao Feiyan, Yan Yanwei is salivating about the beauty of Gusu Zhao Feiyan, and Mujian Canglang is talking about her will be the queen.

Because of Zhao Feiyan's light dancing, people forgot her real name and called her "Feiyan". At that time, there was a bay of clear water in the palace, called "Taiye Pond", and there was a small island in the middle, called Yingzhou. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty ordered people to build a 40-foot-high platform on it. Once, Zhao Feiyan was wearing a beautiful transparent tulle, dancing on it, accompanied by a band, and Emperor Han Cheng personally commanded, looking at Zhao Feiyan's fluttering appearance on the high platform, Emperor Han Cheng was particularly happy. When he was having fun, a gust of wind suddenly hit, and Zhao Feiyan's thin and wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, as if they were going to float away with the wind, and Emperor Han Cheng was busy pulling Zhao Feiyan's skirt hard. Since then, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty was really afraid that the strong wind would take Zhao Feiyan away, so he specially built a residence for her called "Qibao Wind Shelter". This shows Zhao Feiyan's status in the heart of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty. A few years later, Zhao Feiyan was canonized as empress.

Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty once went on a micro-service trip and came to Princess Yang'a's house. The princess summons Kabuki to cheer Emperor Cheng. Zhao Feiyan's seductive eyes, beautiful and moving singing voice, and graceful dancing posture immediately fell for Emperor Cheng. Emperor Cheng of Han took her back to the palace. Zhao Feiyan made a plan to capture and indulge, and refused to summon Emperor Cheng for three nights in a row, arousing Emperor Cheng's heart of conquest, and he was lucky every night, and he could no longer leave her. Zhao Feiyan's beautiful appearance, light figure and outstanding dancing skills make her stand out among the harem concubines. She performed a kind of dance steps, her hands trembling like flowers, and her body moving like the wind, which fascinated Emperor Cheng. Emperor Cheng's dance performance for her was set up on the Yingzhou Pavilion in the Taiye Pool of the harem. Emperor Cheng hit the beat with a jade ring, and Feng Wufang played the sheng to accompaniment. Zhao Feiyan danced "Returning to the Wind and Sending Far Away". A gust of wind rose, and Zhao Feiyan almost fell into the pool, thanks to Feng Wufang grabbing her thin cloud skirt like a cicada's wings, there was no danger. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty ordered the palace maid to hold the crystal plate in her hand, so that the song and dance on the Feiyan plate were fun, and Zhao Feiyan's wonderful dancing skills were unprecedented and unprecedented, bringing a new visual enjoyment to Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Cheng was even more infatuated with her.

Zhao Feiyan is not only beautiful, but also very thoughtful, in order to firmly grasp Emperor Cheng's heart, she recommended her sister Zhao Hede, who is better than her, to Emperor Cheng, Zhao Hede's beauty made Emperor Cheng envious, and Hede's tenderness made Emperor Cheng fascinated, and Emperor Cheng couldn't see the Zhao sisters for a moment, so he was uneasy. The words of the sisters, Emperor Cheng was even more obedient. In order to please the Zhao sisters, Emperor Cheng abolished Empress Xu and appointed Zhao Feiyan as the queen and Zhao Hede as Zhaoyi. And the treatment of the two sisters is equally high, Emperor Cheng once said to Zhao Hede, if it weren't for the fact that there could only be one queen, I would definitely make you one. Although the Zhao sisters were favored, they had never been pregnant, and they were afraid that other concubines would become pregnant and give birth to children and threaten the throne, so they frantically destroyed the palace people. "Those who give birth are killed, and countless abortions are performed." At that time, there was a nursery rhyme among the people that "Yan Fei came, pecked the emperor's grandson". The palace maid Cao Gong gave birth to a boy, but was forced to die, and the prince was also thrown out of the door. Xu Mei gave birth to a son, Zhao Hede cried a lot, and forced Emperor Cheng to give death to his mother and son. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, who was obsessed with his heart, was no longer confused, and his knees were still empty. In order to please the Zhao sisters, they actually killed their sons twice, ignoring the Jiangshan Society, and became an ancient version of "loving beauty but not loving Jiangshan".

Zhao Feiyan is cold and glamorous, has wonderful dancing skills, and has been favored by Emperor Cheng for nearly ten years, and he is in the harem. Although Zhao Feiyan was favored, she was never pregnant. In order to make her complexion fair and delicate, Zhao Feiyan stuffed a secret recipe called a pill called a resting muscle pill into her navel. This pill is made of musk, Korean ginseng, deer antler velvet and other precious drugs made of honey pills, put it into the navel, it is indeed remarkable, after using it can make people's skin like coagulated fat, the skin is sweet, but the poison of the drug will stay and accumulate in the second vein of Rendu, so that the woman will be infertile for life. In addition, people with a little medical knowledge know that when a woman is too thin and the amount of fat is not enough for the normal amount, endocrine disorders will occur and it is not easy to get pregnant. This is because a woman's ovaries are difficult to secrete normal levels of estrogen at this time, which can lead to menstrual cycle disorders and even amenorrhea, and data show that 6% of infertility patients are caused by underweight. Zhao Feiyan's advantage of being favored by the emperor is also a major disadvantage of depriving her of her pregnant life.

Emperor Cheng died in Zhao Hede's bed, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the ministers denounced Zhao's trouble. Zhao Hede knew that he could not escape responsibility and committed suicide. Zhao Feiyan helped Emperor Cheng's nephew Liu Xin ascend the throne, and the new emperor was grateful and still respected her as the queen mother. During this period, some ministers said that Zhao Zhaoyi's crime was very serious, and his family members wanted to sit together, and the spearhead was pointed at Zhao Feiyan, but Emperor Mourning did not deal with it. Six years later, Emperor Mourning died, and the great Sima Wang Mang brought up the old matter again, forcing Zhao Feiyan to commit suicide for the crime of killing the prince. Zhao Feiyan, who had never been involved in politics, died like this. (To be continued......)
