What is the legend of the Queen Duck Niang?

It was the time when King Min lived in the Five Dynasties. There is a family named Xie in Xiaoyang Village under Baiyun Mountain. There are three people in the family, a grandfather, a grandmother and their little granddaughter. Grandpa is 72 years old, grandma is 68 years old, and granddaughter is 16, 17 years old. The family lives on her granddaughter who has 36 ducks.

Legend has it that watching ducks is special. It's sunny in June. Wherever she goes, there is a cloud above her head, and the sun can't shine. It's raining hard, but I can't catch the rain.

One year, the king of Fujian ordered the queen to be elected. The place is so big, where to choose? One day, the Buddhist played King Min: Last night, his precious mirror was lit up and he saw the dragon soul appear in Baiyun Mountain, where the queen was.

When King Min heard about Daxing, he sent an imperial envoy with troops. It's hard to investigate all the way. They are all folk women. Then the Dragon Queen woolen cloth went to Xiaogang Village in Baiyun Mountain, and the imperial envoy came up with a clever way: a banquet was held in Xiaogang Village, and an imperial envoy list was posted. Unmarried folk women aged 16 to 18 in many villages around the square would come to eat wine.

I don't know how many tables I ate and how many people came, but the imperial envoy has never seen the dragon lady. He is really anxious and bored.

On the last day of eating and drinking, everyone left, and the imperial envoys were even more anxious. Just then, a strange voice came from outside, as if someone were shouting, "The Queen is here! The queen is coming! "

The imperial envoy was surprised and immediately ran outside to see it. There was no one and no sound, but as soon as he returned to the hall, the sound came again.

He looked in and out twice, and the third time he saw that it was a group of ducks coming along the ridge of the field, followed by a girl watching ducks. Take a closer look and you will find that you are about the same age. Like it or not, the imperial envoys will watch Duck Girl come in to get the wine.

Watch the duck woman grab it with her hands and eat it When she finished, she wiped her greasy hands on the red pillar in the hall. Five fingers and five marks were erased, and an imperial envoy immediately cheered. Isn't this "five dragons wrapped around one column"? This is the queen.

Look, the duck girl was stuffed into a sedan chair and carried away. Watch the duck girl cry, crying in the three realms of heaven. Passing through this place, a little boy who was plowing heard the girl crying in the sedan chair. His mouth was full of dialogue, and he said half jokingly:

"A-mei, don't cry, just go!"

Taniguchi's youngest son was named A-mei, and he became a prince's maternal uncle. Xiaoyang gave birth to a queen and Taniguchi gave birth to an uncle. That's what I said.

A team of imperial envoys carrying the sedan chair of the Empress spent the night in Tanyang Village under Baiyun Mountain. The next day, Duck Girl got into the sedan chair, and everyone saw that she had completely changed, becoming white, tender and beautiful, like a fairy descending from the earth, and really beautiful. The imperial envoy was very excited and renamed Tanyang Village Bianyang Village. Until now, the older generation used to call Tan Yang foreign exchange.

The king of Fujian was very happy to see the duck girl enter the palace. After being crowned queen, King Min once said, "Love Qing! I haven't asked about Ai Qing's family, so please tell me today. " The duck-watching girl replied, "In the courtier's house, the beams are made of gold and the tiles are made of white jade. There are 72 skylights above, 36 fish ponds below, a hundred acres of fish ponds in front of the door, and a thousand miles garden. Sixty-eight cooks are not enough to cook, seventy-two Chai Fu are not enough to cut wood, and thirty-six river boats are not enough! "

Hearing this, Wang Yi said: Wow! I'm not as rich as you in the royal family, am I? "The queen asked again," that the feng shui in your hometown must be very unusual?

The duck-watching girl said, "My hometown has Jinxi Yulin on the left, Guifeng in Zhang Long on the right, South Gate in the south, East Gate in the east and nine villages around."

Min Wang was surprised and decided to visit her hometown with the queen.

As soon as the royal team crossed the mountains and waded through the mountains, they went through hardships and reached a fork with two gables in Zhouning County, where they could see Baiyun Mountain in the distance. They stopped here.

King Min looked at the misty Baiyun Mountain and asked the queen, "Where is your home?" ?

The duck-watching girl said, "It's at the foot of Baiyun Mountain." The king of Fujian was very unhappy and suspected that the queen had cheated him. I sent a lot of scouts to explore first.

The scouts came back and reported to King Min that the road on that mountain was dangerous and evil. Xiaoyang is a small village in Baiyun Mountain, surrounded by fields or barren hills, and there is no shadow of those golden halls and jade halls mentioned by the Queen.

The king of Fujian fainted with anger, so this place was later called Didi Chubifa. After the king of Fujian woke up, the treacherous court official took the opportunity to report to the king of Fujian that the queen was born in humble background, without virtue or talent, and deliberately fabricated lies to deceive the emperor and lead him to this wild land, which was a great sin to deceive him.

The king of Fujian listened to the treacherous court official, refused to let the queen explain, and ordered the guards to kill the queen.

Back in the imperial court, the emperor was angry and wanted to punish the imperial envoys.

An imperial envoy knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, you killed a great sage by mistake!" " "

The emperor was furious and asked him, "How do you think I killed him by mistake?"

The imperial envoy said, "Everything the Queen said is true. The queen lives in a thatched cottage. The grass stems are golden and the leaves are as white as silver. It's raining everywhere. Isn't this' gold as a beam, white jade as a tile, with 72 skylights above and 36 fish ponds below'? The queen's grandmother is 68 years old and still has to cook. The Queen's father-in-law is 72 years old and still has to go up the mountain to chop wood and burn. When the queen is at home, she still has to look after 36 ducks to live. Isn't this' 68 cooks don't have enough to eat, 72 Chai Fu chopping wood and burning fire are not enough, and 36 river boats don't carry enough goods'? In front of the queen's house, there is a paddy field, and outside the field is a green hill. There are fish in the field and flowers on the mountain. Isn't this a' 100-acre fish pond, a thousand-mile garden'? As for Jinxi, Yulin, Zhang Long, Guifeng, South Gate and East Gate, they are all real village names and mountain names around the Queen's home. What the queen said was never half empty? "

Hearing this, Min Wang shouted, "What a fool! Lonely fool alas ... "

The king of Fujian asked the imperial envoy again, why didn't the queen say it?

Imperial envoys fell to the ground; "As a queen, she is the mother of a country. Isn't it beneath the dignity of the royal family? "

Min Wang is remorseful. Imperial edict, punishing treacherous court official, naming duck girl as "the virtuous princess empress", giving golden head and silver necklace, and burying thirty-six.

Later, the descendants of the King of Min built the "Empress Dowager Hall" in Xiaoyang, the hometown of the Queen, to commemorate their virtuous grandparents. Today, the plaque that says "The Empress Dowager Hall" is still there!
