During the Ming Dynasty, a father and son opened a jewelry store in the capital. His father's name is Wang Yi, and his son's name is Wang Ming. Because his business is honest and enthusiastic, the jewelry store is prosperous and more famous. One day, a eunuch came to Wang Yi's house and ordered his father and son to set up a gold plaque with four characters of "boundless life" with big pearls and send it to the Imperial Palace within three days. The emperor saw that the words were really pearly, and with the help of Phnom Penh, it was very Royal. The emperor was very happy and gave them some money. After thanking the father and son, they were about to leave the Jinluan palace. Unexpectedly, the emperor said, "slow down! I'll order you two to make another set of jade carving screens with pictures of beauties of all ages printed on them. Go ahead and deal with them quickly. There must be no mistake! " Wang Yi and his son looked at each other and did not know what to do. The gold plaque has already spent half of the family's property, and then make a jade screen style, isn't it a ruin? But the emperor's order was hard to disobey, so they had to resign. When he got home, Wang Yi was sad and sighed all day long, so he had to take out all his property and ask someone to make a jade screen wind. The more he thought about it, the worse he felt. The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt. He took out a rope and hanged himself. When Wang Ming came home and saw his father commit suicide, he suddenly lost consciousness. Since then, Wang Ming has been in tears all day. A neighbor advised him, "my father is dead. Please be patient. What's the use of crying? The most important thing is the screen. Just give it to the emperor so as not to cause death! " Suddenly, an idea flashed through Wang Ming's mind: "kill HunJun and avenge my father!" However, the palace security is strict, how can we get close to the emperor? Wang Ming thought hard and finally came up with a clever plan. The next day, he hid a sharp dagger on his body and took the screen to see the emperor. The emperor summoned him as soon as he heard that the jade screen was ready. At the sight of the colorful pictures of beauties of all ages, the emperor stroked his beard and went to the screen to enjoy them. Wang Ming saw that the opportunity had arrived, and he was preparing to start. Then he thought: No, there are many generals in the Jinluan palace. Before I can start, they will find me. At that time, I will die young. How can I get my father's revenge? So he went forward and asked to be the emperor's bodyguard. The emperor was in the mood and immediately agreed. From then on, Wang Ming searched for revenge day and night. On that day, the emperor went hunting in the wild, and so did Wang Ming. On the way, he intended to lead the emperor's horse. When the Emperor didn't pay attention, he pulled hard, and the emperor fell to the ground. Wang Ming draws out the dagger, is preparing a knife, the result of the dog life of Hun Jun, but was rushed up the guard to seize. When the emperor got up, his face turned pale with fright. He angrily told the warriors to cut Wang Ming. The guards stripped off Wang Ming's clothes and cut off his flesh piece by piece. Until his death, Wang Ming still stood up, his eyes full of hatred, as if he was going to swallow the emperor.
