"Story:

According to folklore, before Zhao Kuangyin became successful, he followed his father Zhao Hongyin, who was the defense envoy of Yuezhou at the time, and was a local hero. Everyone called Kuang Yin Zhao Gongzi, or Zhao Dalang. In this life, his face is like bleeding, his eyes are like dawn stars, he can defeat thousands of people, and he can swallow up the world with his anger. He specializes in making friends with the world's heroes, and he does whatever he wants. When he sees an uneven road, he draws his sword to help. He is a nosy living ancestor and a Tai Sui who has no trouble.

He first built the imperial fence in Bianjing City, caused trouble in the imperial garden, offended the late Han Emperor, and fled to the end of the world. Later, he killed Dong Da while guarding the bridge in Kansai and won the famous horse Chi Qilin. In addition to Song Hu in Huangzhou, Li Ziying was beaten to death with three sticks in Shuozhou, and the family of Luzhou King Li Hanchao was wiped out. When he came to Taiyuan, he met his uncle Zhao Jingqing.

Jing Qing became a monk in Qingyou Temple and left Mr. Zhao to live in the temple. Who would have thought that if he got sick, he would lie down for three months. When he recovered from his illness, Jingqing stayed with him day and night, asking him to rest his body and not letting him go out for leisurely walks. One day Jingqing went out for business, so he told the young master: "My nephew has been patiently sitting quietly for a while, and he has recovered from his illness. Don't move!"

Jingqing left, and the young master could sit there, so he thought: " I don’t want to wander around the neighborhood, so why not take a leisurely stroll in this temple?” The young master closed the door and walked around the temple. First we visited the Sanqing Palace, visited the East and West Corridors and the Seventy-Two Divisions, then visited the Dongyue Temple, then moved to the Jianing Hall and visited the Jade Emperor Pavilion in Duojinglou. Every palace has Cui Wei and a grand system. The young master cheered profusely, it was indeed a good sight!

What is not enough to observe is enough to play. When I arrived at the calm place of Fengdu Underworld, I saw a small hall, directly opposite the Palace of Children and Suns, with the words "Palace of Conquering Demons" written on it, and the door of the hall was deeply closed. The young master looked back and forth, and was about to turn around and walk away when he suddenly heard the sound of a woman crying. He met Jingniang here, was moved by his compassion, and escorted Jingniang back to her hometown. He did not accept Jingniang's love, but became brother and sister with Jingniang and became a legend for thousands of years.

However, the ending of such a beautiful folk tale is not very good due to secular influences. Zhao Kuangyin acted chivalrously and went through untold hardships. Along the way, he stayed at night to avoid suspicion and fought against thieves. After sending Jingniang home thousands of miles away, he was betrayed by Jingniang's father, Zhao Yuanwai, and Jingniang's father. The elder brother Zhao Wen had unreasonable suspicion and created many disputes, which made Mr. Zhao angry and forced Jing Niang to death.

It turned out that the Zhao family father and son were discussing in private. Zhao Wen said: "Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The girl was kidnapped by strong men, and the family was unfortunate. Today, I followed the red-faced man back. No one has self-interest. Who can Are you willing to get up early? You must be in love with this man. Is there no reason for this girl to go through a lot of troubles? Why not hire this man to get the best of both worlds and avoid other people's comments?"

Zhao Yuanwai is an old man who follows the wind and turns the rudder without paying attention. Although he has asked his daughter, Zhao Kuangyin and Mr. Zhao have treated his daughter like a sister all the way without saying a word. But he didn't take it seriously. During the dinner, he insisted that Mr. Zhao and his daughter get married, which angered Zhao Kuangyin. He left the table angrily and rode away on horseback. As a result, his daughter hanged herself from a beam in shame and died.

Later, until Zhao Taizu destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, he recalled his relationship with Jingniang in the past and sent people to inquire. After hearing the news of Jingniang's death, he sighed deeply, named her Mrs. Zhenyi, and erected a shrine. In Xiaoxiang Village. Such a case of "sending off a thousand miles to Beijing" was settled.
