There are many stories about Xinsu. Below I will tell two stories about "Yinghuo Shouxin".

The three stars of Antares are of great significance in astrology. Antares sometimes represents the emperor, and the other two stars represent the prince and the concubine respectively, both of whom are the most important members of the royal family.

Yinghuo, or Mars, in the eyes of the ancients, has the most complicated route and the most unpredictable whereabouts, so it is named "Yinghuo". In addition, its fiery red color is also disturbing, so both China and the West often regard it as a symbol of war and death. It is said that during the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, when many large kilns in Jingdezhen were firing porcelain, when they opened the kiln, they found that the porcelain produced was reddish-red. Originally the glaze on the kiln was for celadon, so why did it turn red? Astrologers came to take a look and said that this was caused by the movement of Mars from the sky to the local area and was induced in the kiln, which was the main evil. It seems now that the redness of the enamel may be due to heat or impurities, but at that time people believed deeply in astrology. Who would dare to use an appliance "infected" by such an unlucky star? As a result, all the kiln owners broke the porcelain and buried it.

"Shou" means occupying, and "Yinghuo Shouxin" means that Mars, which symbolizes disaster, lingers in the heart, which has always been considered a serious omen.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, when Song Jinggong of the Song Dynasty went to court one day, the Taishi official reported: "Last night, I observed the stars as usual and found that Mars just stayed in the heart and refused to go (Yinghuo Shouxin) , this is a very bad star, please call the officials to discuss countermeasures."

Song Jinggong asked the officials what they could do. The civil and military officials looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything, because Yinghuo Shouxin often signified the king's disaster and the palace's disaster. How could he explain it to the king? At this time, Ziwei, the wisest among the ministers, stepped forward and said: "Yinghuo Shouxin is the most ominous star sign, and it brings disaster to the king. However, the king can transfer this disaster to the prime minister by praying to drive away evil spirits."

Jing Gong said: "How can this happen? The prime minister is the one who helps me govern the country. If I blame him, won't I make the world laugh at me?"

Zi Wei said: "There is another way. Your Majesty can go up to the altar to worship heaven at three o'clock today and transfer the disaster to the people."

Jing Gong said unhappily: "Are you kidding? The people are all dead. , What kind of king should I be?”

Ziwei thought for a moment and said, “Then don’t transfer it to others. Even if you don’t do well this year, you can still pass this test.”

Jinggong said: "If the year is not good, there will be famine and the people will starve. What kind of king is he who harms the people for his own sake? Laozi said: Only when the country is unlucky can you become the king of the world. This is I will bear my own life! There is no need for you to come up with such bad ideas." Ziwei was very happy when he heard this. He took a few steps back and led all the ministers to bow to Duke Jing and said, "I'm going to be the official. Let us congratulate the king. Your virtue of being willing to suffer yourself rather than blame your subjects will surely reach heaven. The Emperor of Heaven will not only save you from disaster, but you will also live longer."

Sure enough, nothing happened that day. In the evening, Tai Shiguan accompanied Jinggong and Ziwei to observe the sky again and found that Mars had left the heart. It is said that it left three houses in one night. It seems that it was influenced by Jinggong's virtue. To be moved.

It can be seen from this story that both Jinggong and Ziwei are very wise people. When it comes to astrology, they believe it when they need to believe it, and they don’t believe it when they don’t need to believe it.

However, a Yinghuo Shouxin incident in the late Western Han Dynasty brought about a series of disasters, leading to the suicide of the prime minister and the sudden death of the emperor. This story might as well be called the "Yinghuo Shouxin Murder Incident".

This story is still related to Wang Mang. At that time, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was Liu Ao, Emperor Cheng of Han Dynasty, and the prime minister was Zhai Fangjin. This prime minister Zhai had been in office for 9 years. He was upright, especially a loyal minister who was humble and honest. Wang Mang's account. Finally, one day, after waiting for the edict, Li Xun reported to the emperor: "I watched the sky at night and discovered an extremely ominous sign - Yinghuo Shouxin.

The appearance of this celestial phenomenon heralds the emperor's misfortune. Of course, it actually shows that the prime minister has failed to fulfill his responsibilities, causing the people's resentment to reach heaven. The genius used this celestial phenomenon to warn. This happened in the past. In the first year of Emperor Yongguang's reign, the late Emperor Yuan saw frost on the seedlings in the spring, snow falling in the sky in the summer, and the sight of his fingers during the day. The late Emperor issued an edict to blame the Prime Minister Yu Dingguo, and the Prime Minister resigned. Everything happened. Only then did things get back on track. "

So the emperor summoned Prime Minister Zhai Fangjin and said: "I cannot clearly understand the sufferings and disasters of the people, which causes God to warn me and confuse my heart. My fault also shows that your ministers did not assist the government with all their heart. As an emperor, I haven’t done anything specific, so I can’t take responsibility for everything! Since I already know that I have changed my mind, you, the Prime Minister who is assisting the Emperor, should bear the main responsibility. What’s next? I give you ten stones of wine and an ox. You should handle it properly! ”

Zhai Fangjin was suddenly struck by thunder. He knew that his political career was about to end. The emperor gave him cattle and wine to resign. Maybe his life would not be saved. He became depressed after returning home. Unhappy, he didn't eat or drink all day, and resigned after a few days.

Soon, he received another letter from Li Xun, which said sternly: "You must escape intact." It's impossible. This will definitely be unanimously reprimanded by everyone. If you want to save your clan, you can only end it yourself! "Zhai Fangjin had no choice but to commit suicide by taking poison.

His son Zhai Yi rushed back from thousands of miles away to attend the funeral. During his mourning, he asked why his father committed suicide. He felt very strange. He was also very interested in celestial phenomena. , but he hasn’t seen any Yinghuo Shouxin for how many days!

So he visited one of his father’s best friends, who analyzed it for him: Wang Mang, as the assistant to the Grand Sima, is the most powerful person in politics. A powerful figure, based on Zhai Fangjin's personality and status, he has long been a thorn in the side of the Wang family. If the Yinghuo Shouxin incident did not actually occur, then Wang Mang must have instigated Li Xun to fabricate the celestial phenomenon of Yinghuo Shouxin, and then encouraged the emperor to issue an edict to replace the prime minister. He used this method to kill Zhai Fangjin. Li Xun was famous for his astrology and calendar, and he was a popular figure in the Wang family. Who would dare to say anything? In this way, Wang Mang could take over the power without any worries. Zhai Yi said: "This is what officialdom is like. Why did your father choose to commit suicide? It was to avoid disaster for your entire Zhai family. You have to understand his painstaking efforts!" "

The second month after Zhai Fangjin committed suicide, the emperor Liu Ao suddenly died in his prime, and the cause of death was "unknown". It can be seen that Liu Ao was far less smart than Song Jinggong. He wanted to blame others, but he still could not escape death. In this way, Wang Mang and others killed two birds with one stone by forging celestial phenomena and used "Ying Huo Shou Xin" as a cover to get rid of two stumbling blocks.

The two younger emperors who became emperor were quickly killed and finally helped. The child was the two-year-old infant Emperor Ruziying, who was regent by Wang Mang. The hot-blooded Zhai Yi was not willing to accept his father's injustice. In order to avenge his father, he joined forces with Liu Xin and Liu Huang, members of the Han family, and gathered more than 100,000 armed men. He denounced Wang Mang. Wang Mang immediately sent troops to suppress it. As a result, Zhai Yi failed and was arrested. After his execution, Wang Mang carried out comprehensive revenge on the Zhai family. He destroyed the three clans, demolished the Zhai family's mansion, and dug up the Zhai family's ancestral graves. Poison was poured into their graves, which was said to prevent them from being resurrected forever. Zhai Fangjin's worries came true. Zhai Yi finally failed to avenge his father, but instead caused the Zhai family to be annihilated.

Zhai Fangjin's suicide and the emperor's death occurred in February and March of the second year of Suihe (7 BC). According to Taiwanese scholar Huang Yinong's calculation, Mars was in Spica in February and March of the lunar calendar, which did not happen at all. "Yinghuo Shou Xin" shows that the Ying Huo Shou Xin was indeed a deliberate forgery by the person involved.

When the heaven and earth first appeared, it was said that the Emperor of Heaven sent four beasts to guard the world. They were the green dragon, the red bird, and the red bird. White Tiger, Xuanwu. The four beasts completed their mission and dedicated themselves to the world with the blood of the holy beasts. From then on, the legend of the beasts from all directions began. Who can win the treasures of the four beasts? No one in the world knows it, but a book about the Four Beasts of Heaven and Earth records how the four beasts dedicated themselves to heaven and earth for sacrifices. It records: When the world was torn apart, the images of heaven and earth and the stars changed drastically, and the spirits of the four beasts reappeared in the human world.

Twenty-eight people are born into the world, and those who appear with the characters of the twenty-eight stars on their bodies will open the door to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and obtain the treasures of the four beasts.
