The shadow puppet performance seemed like a dream or reality, and Qin He saw Liu Changan's life.

Liu Chang'an, whose courtesy name was Heng'an, was from the Liu family of Liaohe.

His ancestors had been wealthy three generations ago, but wealth cannot last for more than three generations. By the time it came to his father's generation, the family had fallen into decline.

There are seven people in Liu Changan's family, including brothers, sisters and parents. He is the eldest son.

The land in Liaodong is fertile and every family has their own farmland, so it should not be a problem to feed seven people.

However, the Di tribe rose up in rebellion, Liaodong suffered from wars for years, and the imperial court imposed heavy taxes and levies. Liu Changan's family lived a very difficult life. The land they depended on for survival was also taken away by the landlords and powerful people. They could only make a living by digging ginseng in the mountains and fishing and hunting.

The situation was such that they had neither enough clothes to wear nor enough food to eat.

But the Liu family's ancestors were wealthy after all, so they could barely be called a poor family. The biggest difference between a poor family and an ordinary family is that they value study and fame.

Although the Liu family was penniless, they still kept the books passed down from their ancestors.

So Liu Chang'an endured the hardships of life while studying hard with great perseverance.

If they couldn't afford paper, they would cut tree bark instead. If they couldn't afford pens and ink, they would use straw and pot ash to write.

In the midst of hardship, Liu Changan's favorite passage was: When God is about to confer a great responsibility on a man, he must first test his mind and will with many hardships, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, and deprive him of all poverty. He must also be frustrated in his actions, so as to make his heart move and his nature endure, and thus increase his ability to do what he could not do before.

Even the military genius Han Xin had his day of decline.

Zhuge Shenji still had time to farm.

Liu Changan firmly believes that he will achieve great things in the future.

God rewards hard work. Liu Chang'an passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at the age of 23.

However, the situation in Liaodong at that time was no longer able to accommodate any desk.

Liu Chang'an had no choice but to join the army and got a job as a clerk in the border army.

I thought that even if I joined the army, I could still achieve something.

As a result, after arriving at the border army, Liu Changan discovered that his border army general Zu Shouqing was greedy. He withheld soldiers' wages, falsely reported the number of soldiers, robbed and plundered, killed innocent people and claimed credit... His actions were only slightly worse than those of the Di Lu.

Countless people were not trampled by the Di Lu, but were harmed by Zu Shouqing and suffered widespread misery.

Liu Changan couldn't stand it anymore, so he took advantage of the new governor of Liaodong who was just starting out and slipped an anonymous letter into official documents in the hope of causing some changes.

However, this letter almost brought Liu Changan to his doom.

The reason why border army generals are arrogant and domineering and cause trouble to one side is never a problem of a particular general, but a systemic problem.

The result of Liu Chang'an's youthful and frivolous attempt to shake the system was that this letter, after circulating through the border army system, was slapped back in Liu Chang'an's face.

Along with Xin, Zu Shouqing also appeared with his eyes wide open.

Soon, Liu Chang'an was arrested and imprisoned for the crime of "colluding with Di", and his family was killed by "bandits".

In prison, Liu Changan suffered torture and almost died.

However, as luck would have it, the day before Liu Chang'an was about to be executed, the Di Lu attacked the city.

Zu Shouqing was caught off guard and defeated. He led his troops to retreat in a hurry, leaving Liu Changan behind.

After the Di Lu occupied the city, they discovered Liu Chang'an, a man who was "in touch with the Di people", in Zu Shouqing's documents.

Since he is a "Tongdi", he is one of us.

So after several twists and turns, Liu Chang'an was sent to the Eight Shadows, that is, Aqina.

This was the time when the Eight Shadows were expanding. No matter who was Aqinna, he could tell at a glance that Liu Changan was useful.

So, Liu Chang'an surrendered to Di Lu with disappointment in Dali and family hatred.

There are scholars everywhere in Dali, but on the Di Lu side, let alone scholars, as long as you can read and write, you are a talent.

Liu Changan was naturally given an important position.

With the support of Aqinna, he went straight to the capital and not only became a candidate for the imperial examination and a Jinshi, but also entered the officialdom, step by step rising to the rank of the third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and stepped into the core of the six ministries.

In the Battle of Dalinghhe in Liaodong, he obtained key city defense and strategic intelligence of the Li army.

In that battle, 80,000 Li troops were annihilated and lost three cities in a row.

His enemy Zu Shouqing also died in the chaos.

Great revenge must be avenged!

Since then, he has become a loyal fan of Aqinna.

But at the same time, his luck took a sharp turn for the worse and he suffered a complete defeat.

Liu Cang, Xing Nu, Anba Gu, Erma Hun, Aqi Ge... one after another Di clan masters disappeared mysteriously, and even Aqina's nephew Duoling died in front of him.

I have to say that Liu Changan was loyal to the right person.

With such a huge loss, if anyone is released, even if he is not used as a scapegoat, he will be executed due to suspicion that he is guilty.

But Aqina never doubted Liu Changan's loyalty.

After Aqina also "disappeared", Liu Changan fell into despair.

A few months later, the escaped Gantuji brought news to Liu Chang'an - more than half of Aqin's death was caused by King Di's suspicion.

From that moment on, Liu Changan's despair was compounded by confusion—because he had lost the object of his loyalty.

It was originally thought that Feiyuwei would come to the door soon, but before Feiyuwei arrived, Li Chuang led the Shun army and captured the capital again.

The flags on the city walls changed, and Dali was replaced by Dashun.

After being tortured and suffering in Zhao Prison, Liu Changan redeemed himself and hid at home.

He originally thought that Feiyuwei would become history, and he had even made plans to live in seclusion for the rest of his life.

As a result, inexplicably, the prince of Dali appeared out of nowhere, and as soon as he ascended the throne, Dali became powerful again.

Feiyuwei also came back and arrested him in no time.

After going around in circles, I still couldn't escape.

What does life mean as usual? The big intestine surrounds the small intestine.

This is.

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.

I will not go into details about what happened afterwards. After some manipulation by the Feiyu Guards, Liu Changan, who was originally supposed to be executed by slow slicing, was only sentenced to beheading in autumn.

The shadow lights captivated the soul, the judgment was weighed, and the black-robed man spoke with golden words: "Heaven rewards the hard-working, the poor scholar without food and clothing; the ambition to join the army is great, but the atmosphere behind the gate is difficult to relax; the young and frivolous are imprisoned, and there is a narrow escape from death, and fortune and misfortune depend on it; when luck comes, heaven and earth will work together, but when luck is gone, the hero is helpless."
