The Ghost Plot of the Tang Dynasty

In the second year of Qianfu, the locust plague raged in Caozhou. Lin Fu, a ten-year-old orphan, witnessed the blood and fire of tyranny and uprising, and joined Wang Xianzhi's rebel army with death in his arms. In Yingzhou City, he unexpectedly obtained Guo Jia's "Ten Wins and Ten Defeats" and Xi Zhicai's astrological and toxicological notes, and his fate changed. With the help of cunning strategies, Lin Fu rose from a refugee soldier to Huang Chao's confidant, and participated in the attack on Luoyang and Chang'an. However, during the siege of Chenzhou, Huang Chao's brutality chilled him. Lin Fu used the lives of three thousand people as a contract to break up with his old master and secretly turned to Zhu Wen, using the pseudonym "Guo Zhicai" to help him destroy Huang Chao. After Zhu Wen became emperor, he became increasingly violent. Lin Fu's remonstrances were fruitless and he fell into danger. While he secretly supported his former comrade Hong Xian's chivalrous struggle in Jianghuai, he also carefully planned to fake his death to escape, and was eventually erased from the history books. Twenty years later, in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, a white-haired old man taught children to read with yellowed manuscripts, facing the past events indifferently. History books may be tampered with, and the name of "ghost plot" disappears, but the heart that struggles to survive in troubled times, wants to turn the tide and eventually returns to dust, and the half piece of millet cake that symbolizes the original intention, have left an indelible mark in the depths of people's hearts.
