Throughout the long history, since childhood, he has been smooth sailing and flowing smoothly since he was a child, and he is nothing more than the son of a prince and a general, and he is more willing to come to the end, going up step by step from the bottom, relying on hard work and strength to climb.
Li Lianying of the Qing Dynasty is such a model, she was bullied and suppressed by her fellow villagers in her childhood, and almost lost everything, screamed in despair, grabbed the only life-saving straw, and became a celebrity around the Empress Dowager Cixi.
How did Li Lianying become famous? How will he face his former enemies?
Lonely childhood
Li Lianying was born in Dacheng County, Shuntianfu, her family is very poor, and the family is all counting on the land in the back mountains to live, often living a life without a meal, but even so, the Li family is much happier than half of the people in the country, and Li Lianying has nothing to dissatisfaction with.
There is nothing else in Dacheng County, Shuntianfu, there is only a big rich man surnamed Wang, and the rich man Wang can be said to be the "master of the landlords" of the landlords and gentry in feudal society, greed, domineering and violence are written on that fat face, and the Li family has always been respectful and far away.
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided", after all, the trouble came to the door by itself, one day, the rich man Wang inadvertently fell in love with the land of the Li family when he was playing, and the young Li Lianying did not have a city government, so he directly admitted that it was his own land.
The next day, the dogleg ran to Li's house, and said: "Change land", Li's father is also an old man, so he naturally understands that this is a blank check, and that land is the lifeblood of the whole family, so he gritted his teeth and refused.
The rich man Wang is a person who the Li family cannot afford to offend, since that day Li Lianying's life has changed, in the past, the kind and kind neighbors are like strangers, the home often attracts a group of uninvited guests, the family is suffering from hunger and mental devastation, the only thing that remains unchanged is the attitude of Li's father.
The reason why the landlord and gentry are terrible is not only in the financial resources, but also in the support of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the rich man Wang soon played the trump card, the Li family was inexplicably charged with the crime, and was wanted by the government, at this moment the Li family is desperate, there is no chance to turn over, and staying can only be the end of both people and money.
In order to keep the last fire, the whole family could only put aside their previous desires, and quietly left Shuntianfu on a dark night when they couldn't see their fingers, and went to the capital to join friends.
The days in the imperial capital were extremely difficult, my father did not get help from friends, so he could only do some chores, which was difficult to support even himself, let alone such a big family, Li Lianying did not want to be a burden, and after several trade-offs, she chose to enter the palace as a eunuch and give it a go.
Li Lianying may have complained about her parents' inaction, and she also complained about the world, but after all, the rich man Wang is the initiator of his tragic childhood and the source of hatred, and he entered the palace not only to make a living, but also to take revenge!
Soared
has no background, no outstanding talents, Li Lianying has just arrived, and she is still living a life of being bullied, she is also a eunuch, his daily workload far exceeds that of others, and the slightest mistake and beating are naturally indispensable.
"The children of the poor are sensible early", Li Lianying did not complain, the palace can at least guarantee three meals a day, and life will not be challenged, which is enough, so Li Lianying has been cautious and behaved with her tail between her legs, until the opportunity finally came unexpectedly when she was 16 years old.
The position changed, Li Lianying was transferred to Changchun Palace, and came to the Empress Dowager Cixi, at that time, the Empress Dowager's favorite eunuch was An Dehai, An Dehai was beautiful, more than eight feet tall, and was very good at catering to Cixi, the Empress Dowager always talked about him, so that the eunuchs in the palace took him as an example.
An Dehai has a "Achilles heel", his personality is a little flamboyant, pampered and arrogant, he is arrogant and arrogant to the ministers on weekdays, and offended many powerful people.
After hearing about An Dehai's experience, Li Lianying was inspired - currying favor with the Queen Mother is the fastest way to be promoted, and keeping a low profile is the strongest weapon to maintain status. Soon, Li Lianying waited for the opportunity!
The Queen Mother was idle in the palace, and accepted the invitation of a certain prince to watch a play, Li Lianying went with her, the play was carefully prepared, the actors were vivid, very expressive, the Queen Mother inadvertently "entered the game", and after the end of the play, she was still unsatisfied, and after coming to her senses, she planned to reward the starring role.
Today is different from the past, in the Qing Dynasty actors' status underground, there is little difference from the common people, and they are not worthy of having their own words. ”
The Queen Mother happily agreed, the word "Fu" appeared in her mind, and then she picked up the pen to write, but the Queen Mother had been sparse for a long time, all according to her own preferences, and actually added a little more on the side of "Fu", and the word instantly lost its original meaning.
Everyone's faces are more unnatural, the Queen Mother realized it later, and also noticed the gaffe, and the most uncomfortable is the leading actor himself, if he points out the problem to the Queen Mother, this is disrespectful, if he is silent, he is bullying, and a silence is shrouded in the palace.
Li Lianying's brain was running rapidly, and she thought of a clever trick, kneeling down and saying, "Why don't you continue?" The Queen Mother's 'blessing' is naturally a little more than everyone in the world", Linglong's words dispelled the dark clouds of silence.
A simple word game made Li Lianying stand out and came to the Queen Mother's field of vision, but this was not enough for him to replace An Dehai, Li Lianying thought of a good way again.
The Queen Mother has always had a preference for feeding fish, and specially built a fish pond in the palace, Li Lianying luckily got the right to take custody, he trained the fish in advance, let them accept the hunger test, and then picked a day to feed on a large scale, the fish were like crazy, scrambling to grab food, and it was very spectacular from afar.
The plan went very smoothly, the queen mother couldn't stop smiling on her face after seeing this scene, Li Lianying took the opportunity to please the queen mother, saying that the queen mother Jiren has her own celestial phenomena, and Li Lianying has become a big celebrity since then. "A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late", with the support of the Queen Mother, Li Lianying also has the confidence, and the day of revenge is approaching.
The ugliness is revealed
"Countering violence with violence and fighting evil with evil", Li Lianying never expected law and morality to work, he just wanted the rich man to repay his blood debts.
After the palace annual banquet, Li Lianying asked the queen mother for leave to return to her hometown, returned to Shuntian Mansion, a farewell for more than 20 years, this place is still dilapidated and desolate, the rich man "the position of the soil emperor" has no signs of loosening, the only change is their indifferent face, how indifferent in the past, how attentive now, Li Lianying can only laugh.
The first lucky one was a small official who pressed the Li family on trumped-up charges. Li Lianying invited him to live alone in a small building, and the beautiful name said: "A smile and a grudge", the local officials were not so thoughtful, and mistakenly thought that it was really fine, Li Lianying gave him a letter of recommendation and let him be promoted to other places, but when he left Shuntianfu, no one heard from him again.
Li Lianying's main object of revenge is still the rich man, "I can't cheapen him, I must make him feel desperate and make him regret being my enemy."
Li Lianying targeted the daughter of the rich man, and deliberately found an intermediary to pass on the message: I can let your daughter enter the palace and use the greatest resources to cultivate her, but this process needs enough financial support.
After all, the rich man is just a people, and he also has a soaring vision in his heart, how can he resist such a temptation? That night, she quietly visited Li Lianying, took out countless land deeds and belongings, and after seeing the land deeds of her former home, Li Lianying's anger surged into her heart, but on the surface, she was still like a spring breeze and agreed to the matter.
What the rich man didn't know was that as soon as his daughter arrived in the capital, she was sent to the Qinglou by someone arranged by Li Lianying, where the old bustard was also recognized as a brutal master.
After the rich man's financial resources were not as good as before, Li Lianying's killing move also arrived, "treating him the way he did", and he also pressed a trumped-up charge on the rich man Wang and arrested the whole family.
Every day, Li Lianying will arrange for the government to execute a member of the Wang family, and the rich man must be present to make him understand what it means to send a black-haired person to a white-haired person, Li Lianying wants to completely destroy the rich man Wang spiritually.
It's just that the indifference, greed for life and fear of death of the rich man are far beyond Li Lianying's imagination, he is like a nobody, he doesn't care about his family, and fantasizes that Li Lianying can open the net and let him live, Li Lianying gradually lost her patience and understood that some people are hopeless.
The rich man's prison meal began to have problems, the taste aside, the number of times the supply was greatly reduced, and he could only drink a little porridge after a few days, and many times the rich man could only watch the neighbor next door eat, and painting cakes to satisfy hunger became a norm.
With the passage of time, the rich man's health deteriorated, Fa Fu's figure became a bamboo pole, his face was pale, and his speech was intermittent, and the prison guards felt that he was pitiful, and if it were not for the request from above, they would have wanted to give him a good time. On a cold morning, the rich man finally ended his torture and ended his life of sin.
After charging the rich man Wang, Li Lianying returned to the capital, but the eyeliner has never left, maybe she has seen different scenery, and she has not got the pleasure of revenge, but she feels that there is one less thing on the list of life.
Later, Li Lianying and the Empress Dowager Cixi went against each other in the Wuxu Reform, and had to return to their hometowns and leave the capital, becoming a recluse.
People will have a dark and sinful side, some people can control it and will not be exposed for a lifetime, while some people will be swallowed by it, and negative emotions such as desire and blood have the upper hand, which is also a manifestation of human complexity, all we can do is to take care of ourselves and learn to give up our previous desires!
