A senior liar who cheated the emperor in the Tang Dynasty: he claimed to have an elixir of life.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty was the peak of the development of China's ancient poetry, and many great poets emerged. At the same time, there appeared a famous liar, Mr. Fu Jiang, who was later biographed in New Tang Book.

Liars can enter the official history, and it is said that a certain level is extremely high; But now, this man's deception is really inferior, and his patents are nothing more than two: one is to claim to be several hundred years old; Second, we have several secrets of long-term medication. If we eat them, no matter who we are, we can live forever. Why does such a nonsense prevail? It turned out that when practicing Taoism, I really wanted the immortal emperor to take the lead in believing that Teacher Jiang's method was simple and not difficult to implement, so many people were deceived.

Of course, the main deceiver is the emperor himself, who was called Fu Jiang and Songzhou (now Shangqiu, Henan Province) in history. He himself said that immortals are immortal and cannot live in seclusion. At the end of Kaiyuan, Wei Qing was too common? Sacrifice to famous mountains, because of visiting Yimin, has also been hundreds of years. She was called to Tokyo City, Jixian Hospital. Because of that sentence:' take ivy to return the white hair? , then you can cause eternal life. Taihu rattan is the best, but it is often found in the south, so it is better. "The emperor sent envoys to Taihu Lake to give more gifts to the veteran of China and North Korea. Because the imperial edict is in the world, make it seek personal gain. Pei Yaoqing, the prime minister, celebrated his birthday for tens of millions of years, pleased the emperor and gave a banquet in Calyx Building. Dr. Fu Lu, Mr. Hao Chonghe (Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Volume II? 4. Biography of Ji Fang? Fu Jiangchuan). It seems that Fu Jiang didn't mean to cheat the emperor. He was invited by a minister who could only flatter him to sing a big play. Unexpectedly, after the Prime Minister and Taichang strongly advocated it, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty held a large reception and made it known to the world. However, he was suddenly named a scattered official by a secluded mountain forest, just like Dr. Yin Lu. It's true that no one in the world knows you.

Fu Jiang, Mr. Chonghe, has little pride. He was exposed by a pharmacologist who dared to tell the truth among senior officials. He fled the capital voluntarily and traveled around in the name of collecting medicine. The base camp is in his hometown of Songzhou. The New Tang Book continued:

(Ginger) Fu also said: There is a kind of dried lotus root, which can prolong the life of the bait. Like Ge Fen, the emperor made soup cakes for his ministers. General Gan Shoucheng, right of Xiao Wei, can write "Medicine Stone": Changchun, Chitose? Yes Dried lotus root, Dumont also. Fang Jia didn't need it for a long time, so he changed his name to God. People dye vines with wine and many drinkers die suddenly. It's a stop. Soothe inner shame and fear, seek medicine to hold the mountain, and then escape.

Mr. Chonghe is still ashamed, indicating that he is not a professional liar at this time and his conscience is still alive; The emperor let him go out of Beijing safely, but he didn't clean him up. It is also tolerant and generous. I have also left face for myself, the Prime Minister and people like Tai Chang, and I can't appear mentally retarded.

According to Yuan Gui, a bookstore, in 336, Pei Yaoqing was left as prime minister. In the 25th year of Kaiyuan, Fu Jiang, a hermit, offered Changchun wine, which Xuanzong gave to the declining officials in that year. At the same time, he used the method ... When scholars fought for Changchun wine, many of them died suddenly, but the emperor was afraid and stopped. In this way, although the wine offered by Fujiang will not live long, it will not die, and it is also very dangerous for folks to make their own medicinal liquor according to Jiang Fang. Xuanzong stopped for fear, and it was wise for Fu Jiang to run away quickly.

So the former Yin Qing Guanglu doctor, Mr. Chonghe and Mr. Fu Jiang were able to walk out of the capital safely, which was quite scenic; Officials and people all over the country don't know these inside stories, but they have studied the documents that Tang Xuanzong told the world, so they respect him. The living immortal who once served as the imperial longevity health care teacher not only continued to be cocky, but also boasted everywhere and let go of deception, becoming a very special figure in Songzhou and other places. State and county priests are like groupies, pursuing a fortuneteller. It is recorded that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty lived on the surface of immortals and often called himself immortal. Fu Jiang offered sacrifices, but he didn't accept kindness. He collected herbs in various States and cultivated merits. Counties tend to graze and slaughter, and those who learn Taoism beg to stand at the door, but they can't get it ("Taiping Guangji" volume 288 "Debate"). Fu Jiang boasted and cheated under the banner of collecting herbs in various states, and his reputation and influence were growing. No one dares to speak ill of him publicly, and he has been active for many years.

Fu Jiang's death was very dramatic because he was exposed again. A liar can fool some people for a while, but he can never succeed for a long time. He can't fool everyone. This time Fu Jiang was planted in the hands of a historian:

After forty years in imperial academy, those who have Beijing dialect retired to Song Shaoshan (Shaoshi Mountain), claiming to be mountain people, who are familiar with the history of North and South Korea and know modern figures. Taste caress, caress unmoved. Jingyan then asked: What is Mr. Nian? Fu Shuo, since you are not a believer, why do you have time to ask the date? Yan Dao: Sir, since you can't say anything, who are you? Fu Yue: The Liang Dynasty was also human. Yan said: Liang Chao is very close, and his husband is not a long man. Your honor, has Mr. Liang Chao gone into seclusion again? Fu Shuo: I'm in Xiliangfu for the holidays. Yan Chizhi said: All wet! Bully the son of heaven and confuse the world! Liang Dynasty is in the south of the Yangtze River. Where is Xiliangzhou? There are only four generals in Siping, Sian, Sizhen and Sizheng. Where can I save time? Soothes and regrets, and dies a few days later. (same as above)

Fu Jiang only cares about bluffing, but lacks the necessary knowledge of age, geography and official position. As a result, he made a fool of himself. I've been bragging for years. Once I was stabbed on the spot, I was psychologically unbalanced and ashamed to death.

Like historian Jing Ke, there are also poets Gao Shi who don't believe Jiang Fuzhi's cowhide. The living fairy met him when she returned to Songzhou. According to Mr. Zhou Xunchu's "Gao Shi Chronology", he spent seven years in Tianbao. At that time, Gao Shi wrote a gentle and ironic "Mr. Yu Chong He":

Which generation was Chonghe born in? Or "You Ai Dong". Three students bow to the golden palace, and a word bows to the silver green.

Since clouds are multifaceted, they often lead to gods. Asking all kinds of questions, the Sixth Palace did not dare to listen.

It used to be heaven, but now it is visible. Wearing it? Bird's crown, hand-cranked white crane feather.

Drinking all day long, don't go home until you are drunk. Remember Jiming Mountain, every time I recite The Journey to the West.

Caressing my back and thinking about leaving, I still walked out of the house. I've never made a guest appearance.

The first eight sentences of the poem are about the glorious history of Daxian, and the middle eight sentences are about his appearance and style after he returned to his hometown and witnessed it with his own eyes. The last four sentences say that when bidding farewell to this great man, Mr. Chonghe was very kind, stroking his back to show his friendship and personally seeing him out. The poet said, although he is so approachable. He has been in direct contact with the emperor.

The poem does not directly expose the deception of the old gentleman, but the tone of ridicule is obvious: all his special magic is self-evident; When he couldn't live in seclusion in his early years, he might really practice in a cave, but after the nouveau riche became famous, although he was hypocritical on the surface, he was actually an alcoholic with a strong secular atmosphere.

The poem also says that he is sophisticated and does not put on airs in front of himself, which is one of the characters of the old liar.
