During the Ming Dynasty, there was a young storyteller named Ye Zhiqiu in the "Qingfeng Tea House" on West Jiaolou Street in Bianjing. Others tell stories and legends, but he specializes in telling the secrets of the court, reports of border battles, and trivial matters of the palace - all of which come true within a few days. The tea guests just thought he was making it up to make it fresh. Until that day, Fan Xi, the imperial censor, went to the teahouse and slapped a piece of silver on the table: "Mr. Ye, my lord asked, should we mention the word 'abolition of the empress' at the meeting tomorrow?"
