The Story of Fang Xiaoru and the Red Snake

As we all know, Fang Xiaoru was a great scholar in the early Ming Dynasty, and his example of filial piety has always been a story in history. At that time, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to this learned and moral Fang Xiaoru, so he was appointed. Later, Fang Xiaoru also assisted Ming Huidi, the grandson of Ming Taizu, to assist in state affairs. Before Fang Xiaoru's father was born in Fang Xiaoru, his father had built ancestral graves and built graves for his ancestors. While he was digging, he had a dream one night. He dreamed that an old man dressed in red came to tell Fang Xiaoru's father and begged him to say, "Right under the grave you are going to dig, I have eight hundred descendants.". I know you are looking for a treasure trove of feng shui for your ancestral grave. That's understandable, but you have to give me three days. As a result, after waking up, Fang Xiaoru's father felt that the dream seemed to be true or false. He thought the dream could not be taken seriously, so he ignored it. Anyway, I have chosen a date. Tomorrow, we will also start work. As a result, I will dig tomorrow, and I will dig under a big stone below and find many snakes, red snakes. Fang Xiaoru's father saw so many red snakes and even said, "Well, let's burn all these red snakes." As a result, these snakes were burned to death by torches, and many snakes were burned to death. So, the ancestral graves were built. That night, his father dreamed of the old man in red again. He was very angry and told him in his dream. He said that I gave you a dream yesterday, hoping that you could start working again in three days, but why didn't you listen to my crying? Even today, I burned more than 8 of my descendants. If you destroy my tribe now, I will destroy you in the future. The old man made this poisonous oath in his dream. This matter later passed. Fang Xiaoru was born. After his birth, he quickly became a learned and moral scholar and was quickly valued by the court. When he assisted Ming Huidi, there was a prince in the north who was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew. He launched an uprising, led his army from the north to the south, killed Ming Huidi, then usurped the throne and wanted to be emperor again. Because he is also surnamed Zhu, and both of them are relatives of Zhu Yuanzhang, he became emperor on his own, still in the Ming Dynasty. As a result, all the former civil and military officials were arrested, and most of them surrendered, feeling that there was no way out. This is a power struggle between their brothers. They all voted for the prince. He would rather die than surrender to Fang Xiaoru. At that time, when Ming Huidi knew that the Prince of Yan was going to be shot down, he ordered Fang Xiaoru to write a book telling the world to rise up and put down the rebellion of the Prince of Yan. As a result, after being replaced by the prince, the prince knew that Fang Xiaoru was the most admired scholar in the world, so he asked Fang Xiaoru to write a new book and told the world to let the prince be the emperor. Fang Xiaoru refused to die. As a result, he actually wrote four words in the lobby, and wrote "the prince usurped the throne" in his Zhao book, saying that he was usurping the throne. As a result, the prince was angry. He said you dare to do this. Aren't you afraid I'll destroy you? As a result, Fang Xiaoru swore and said that you are a heartless person. Even if the ten families were destroyed, I wouldn't give in to you. The prince was very angry. Well, if you say destroy ten tribes, I will destroy your ten tribes. Because there are only nine ethnic groups in China, what are the ten ethnic groups? Just arrest Fang Xiaoru's teacher and those students and behead them. As a result, more than 8 people were killed, and even Fang Xiaoru himself was beheaded. Later, we learned that Fang Xiaoru's father was so impatient to get such a treasure trove of geomantic omen that he took the old man in red as the king of snakes. His more than 8 snakes were also everywhere, destroying other people's families and burning more than 8 snakes. As a result, the snake king made such a poisonous oath and wanted to destroy 8 people in Ji Fang. As a result, his oath was finally realized on Fang Xiaoru. It is conceivable that Fang Xiaoru is the old man in red who was reincarnated again. His purpose was to destroy your ten families and save your 8 lives, so he took revenge on himself. If you accidentally hurt it today, you will know that there will be consequences in the future.
