Only peacock gall is the legendary poison.
Story prototype:
After Wang Baobao retreated to the Central Plains, there were two main military forces that the Northern Yuan could rely on: First, the Northern Yuan Prime Minister Naha started his career, with more than 20 men and many soldiers stationed in Liaodong; The other is that Liang Wang of the Yuan Dynasty sent more than 100,000 troops to Zara Valmy to occupy Yunnan and coordinate the military actions of the Northern Yuan Emperor. In addition, Beiyuan maintained political and economic ties with Korea in the east and the Uighur region in the west.
Besides the Han nationality, there are many ethnic minorities in Yunnan, mainly Bai and Yi. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was Dian; In the Tang dynasty, it was called Nanzhao; In the Song Dynasty, it was called Dali; Yunnan was established as a province in the Yuan Dynasty, and Hu Gechi, the fifth son of Kublai Khan, was appointed as the king of Yunnan (Zara Valmy was named the descendant of Hu Gechi in the Yuan Dynasty). At the same time, the "Dali Road Military and Civilian General House" was established in Dali, with Duan of Dali aristocratic family as the general manager. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, a group of heroes rose together. Ming, a subordinate of Xu Shouhui, a former Red Scarf Army, took the opportunity to occupy Shu, the title of Daxia, with the intention of monopolizing it, and attacked Kunming, the seat of Wangfu, to the south. When Wang was defeated, he had to ask Duan of Dali family for help. Duan Gong, the ninth general manager of Dali, led the troops to fight with Ming at Lugeguan, forming a tug-of-war situation. Later, Duan Gong attacked Gutian Temple at night and defeated Ming Yuzhen with fire. Duan Gong pursued the victory, defeated Ming Yuzhen again at Qixingguan, and recovered the lost land in Yunnan. After Ming Yu died in the earthquake, his lieutenants insisted on going to Sichuan and Sichuan in their wills, so they did not make progress in the Central Plains. Ming Sheng, the son of Yu Zhen in the Ming Dynasty, inherited the throne and was later destroyed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Princess Agai is a famous beauty in Mongolia. She is called "Bubulu Flower" by Mongols, which means beautiful fairy grass that can be brought back to life. Princess Agai was beautiful and affectionate, so Duan Gong fell in love with Kunming and refused to return to Dali for a long time. Duan Gong's original wife missed her husband so much that she wrote a poem "Yu Jiao Zhi" for Duan Gong. Duan Gong was deeply moved by this letter and returned to Dali that day.
However, not long after living in Dali, Duan Gong recalled the gentleness and beauty of Princess Agai and wanted to go back to Kunming. Men Yangzhi (word sea), Zhang Xiqiao and others offered poems to discourage them. There is a poem by Yang Zhi: "Don't be a hero if you have great achievements, let those with poor intelligence be heroes." I'm afraid that Wang Liang will go against the plan, and Longquan's blood will be dyed red by the west wind. "Feelings are deep, which means that King lyna may hurt Duan Gong. But Duan Gong didn't listen and insisted on returning to Liang Yuan Palace in Kunming.
At this time, some people around Liang Yuanwang slandered and slandered: "Duan Pingzhang came back, and he had the heart to swallow the golden horse and the blue chicken. What do you want? " King lyna was afraid that Duan Gong's high prestige would endanger him, so he secretly called Princess Agai and said, "Parents are like parents, treasures are like countries." Advise her to poison Duan Hong with highly toxic peacock gall. Princess Agai was in tears and refused to accept the order.
When she got home, Princess Agai told Duan Gong that her father wanted her to poison her husband. Duan Gong didn't believe his wife. Princess Agai repeatedly persuaded Duan Hong to rush back to Dali immediately and expressed her willingness to go with Duan Hong. Duan Gong is confident that he has great kindness to Wang. In addition, Dali, which lives in Yunnan, is also very influential in the local area. He never believed that the king would attack his powerful son-in-law.
Liang Wang of the Yuan Dynasty knew that Princess Agai could not succeed, so he set a trap and invited Duan Gong to the East Temple to do Buddhist work. Duan Gong is proud of his martial arts, and there is no doubt that he is pleased to invite him. When traveling to Tongji Bridge, the general who was ambushed by Wang Liang in the Yuan Dynasty suddenly appeared and assassinated Duan Gong.
After hearing the news of her husband's death, Princess Agai was deeply saddened. In order to avenge her husband, she secretly poisoned Wang's donkey with peacock gall, because the donkey was ordered by Wang to assassinate Duan Gong. But things are not confidential, and smart donkeys know it. But the donkey forced Princess Agai to drink the peacock gall poison. Princess Agai failed in revenge and had to drown. Because Shuitou is near the West Temple, later generations built a shrine beside the West Temple Tower to commemorate her, which is called "Auntie Temple".
This real history is the prototype of Guo Moruo's famous historical tragedy Peacock Gallbladder.
