In the Court of Lord Yue Lao (月老星君), 4 of his young assistants were being asked to do the cleaning of the Hall where the Marriage Recording Books (月下姻緣簿) were kept.

Hong Ling Zi (紅靈子), Hong Xian Zi (紅線子), Hong Huang Zi (紅凰子) & Hong Luan Zi (紅鸞子) arrived at the Hall and with a shock, they found out that the Hall was so messy, due to this was an Order from their Master to do the cleaning, they had to get to work before they were being punished.

While Hong Huang Zi & Hong Luan Zi went to collect the dusting equipments, Hong Ling Zi & Hong Xian Zi stayed back to pick up all the Books which were laying around and carefully categorized them accordingly to year, countries, Realms & Being-types.

Just as Hong Ling Zi was shifting the Books into the Inner-hall for storing, he came across a Chest that was left open. Recalling from what his Master had advised them on, this was a Confidential Chest, no one was to open it without any permission and so, Hong Ling Zi was surprised to find it left open.

With curiosity, Hong Ling Zi retrieved the One of the Records that from the Chest and start checking on the Content.

After reading the Remarks made on the 1st few pages, Hong Ling Zi was amazed to found out that this Book was the Record for the the Ten Generations Re-incarnation of Heavenly Marshal Jin (金天君), Heavenly Marshal Xian (冼天君) & Fairy Qing Xuan (青玄玄女). With enthusiasm, Hong Ling Zi kept on reading. Due to the Record was so detail-recorded, Hong Ling Zi was attracted deeply by it and even Hong Xian Zi walked into the Inner-hall, Hong Ling Zi was not aware of it.

Quietly, Hong Xian Zi sneaked to the side of Hong Ling Zi and when he was about to frighten him, Hong Xian Zi took a peek at the Record and was also attracted by the content. As both of them were concentrating on the Reading, Lord Yue Lao had lead Mother Empress of Western Paradise (瑤池金母) into the Inner-hall to retrieve of the Confidential Record of Dong Yong & Zhi Nv (董永與織女).

At the moment when Lord Yue Lao & Mother Empress stepped into the Inner-hall, they heard an angry comment. From the voice, Lord Yue Lao knew that it was Hong Xian Zi. In the comment, Hong Xian Zi was actually blaming Mother Empress for being Cold-blooded and Iron-hearted, making ALL Lovely Celestial Couples to suffer and not able to be together, etc.

Upon hearing the comment, Mother Empress was shocked and provoked. Following the direction of where the voice came from, Mother Empress arrived at the small area where the Chest was placed.

Seeing Mother Empress had arrived, Hong Xian Zi was shocked.

Soon after Mother Empress approached Hong Xian Zi, Mother Empress started to reprimand on him for being disrespectful. Due to his stubborn character, Hong Xian Zi was unhappy and started to fight back with Mother Empress, blaming her for being un-reasonable and autocratic which led to no freedom in the Celestial Realm.

With the fighting back of Hong Xian Zi, Mother Empress was totally upset by the words and just as she was to carry-out any punishments on Hong Xian Zi, she saw Hong Ling Zi was sobbing at the side. From the expression of Hong Ling Zi, she knew that Hong Ling Zi was actually sobbing due to the Love of Heavenly Marshal Jin & Fairy Qing Xuan. From there, Mother Empress had somehow realised something and after being led to the seat by Lord Yue Lao, Lord Yue Lao was being call-upon to the side.

After Lord Yue Lao came forward, Mother Empress mumbled some secrets to Lord Yue Lao and as immediately, Lord Yue Lao was shocked & puzzled and with hesitation, Lord Yue Lao had to convey the Edict issued by Mother Empress on punishing Hong Xian Zi to Re-incarnate into the Mortal Realm and Hong Ling Zi to be kept in the Celestial Jail until his Date for punishment for Re-incarnating into the Mortal Realm arrived.

Upon receiving the Edict, Hong Ling Zi was shocked & puzzled but due to his timid character, he didn’t dare to fight back and so, he had to thank Mother Empress for being Compassionate for allowing him to Re-incarnate into the Mortal Realm. But on the other side, Hong Xian Zi was unhappy with his punishment and as he was about to fight back again, Lord Yue Lao had to pull him aside to convey some secrets to him. With the secrets that Lord Yue Lao had mumbled to him, Hong Xian Zi somehow understood and so, he prepared to go for his Re-incarnation, but before he stepped out of the Hall, he stared back at Mother Empress and left angrily.

Seeing that Hong Xian Zi was still that stubborn, Mother Empress had to shake her head and then proceed with the retrieving of the Record.

Just before Mother Empress left, she reminded Lord Yue Lao on the punishment that Hong Ling Zi should received in no time, Lord Yue Lao nodded respectfully and sent her off.

After Mother Empress left, Hong Huang Zi & Hong Luan Zi returned back from their errands and were shocked with news of Hong Ling Zi & Hong Xian Zi had being punished for offending Mother Empress. While the 2 of them comforting Hong Ling Zi, Lord Yue Lao ordered them to bring Hong Ling Zi to the Celestial Jail for temporary lock-up.

With a sorrowful departing, Hong Ling Zi had to bid farewell to Lord Yue Lao and with some advised by Lord Yue Lao, Hong Ling Zi was being sent off with the accompanied of Hong Huang Zi & Hong Luan Zi.

In the Mortal Realm, it was Tang Dynasty – in between the Era, the Title of the Tang Dynasty was being changed to Zhou (唐朝年間).

During this Period, Empress Wu Ze Tian (武則天) was on Throne to lead the Imperial Empire.

AD 697, in Lunar 10 Month, after many years of being released to the Border due to demotion, Di Ren Jie (狄仁杰) was being summoned back to the Capital to serve the Imperial Empire. With the clearing of some misunderstanding between the 2 of them, Empress Wu decided to promote Di Ren Jie as the Premier (宰相) and in-order to show the Sincerity, Empress Wu bestowed Di Ren Jie with an Official Purple Robe (紫金袍)and a Turtle Shell Belt (龜甲帶).

From then, Di Ren Jie gained back his reputation & Official Title again.

AD 698, Tu Jue (突厥) – the Ancestor of some Turkish, invaded China. In Lunar 8 Month, Di Ren Jie was being appointed as the Military-Advisor and was asked to station at the Border to fight against the Tu Jue.

During the meeting on the Strategy Planning before the Troop set-off to the Border, Empress Wu had requested Di Ren Jie to recommend some new & capable Generals to join in the Troop, immediately, Di Ren Jie recommended Marshal Jin Hua (錦華).

Upon getting the recommendation and knowing that Jin Hua was a Young & Capable Marshal, Empress Wu accepted it and Jin Hua was being summoned to the Military Department (兵部) to meet up with Empress Wu.

Jin Hua, born in AD 670, hometown was in Shan Xi Province Tai Yuan City (山西省太原市). His Father, Magistrate Officer Jin Gong Ye (錦公葉), was a well-educated & humble person who scored the 2nd position (榜眼) in the Imperial Examination (唐朝文科舉) during Emperor Tang Gao Zong period (唐高宗).

In AD 677, while Di Ren Jie was performing his Inspection at different Provinces, Jin Gong Ye got a chance to meet up with him and from then, both of them became Good Friend. Knowing that Di Ren Jie was an Upright Officer, Jin Hua was being introduced to him and Jin Gong Ye wanted Jin Hua to undergo study with Di Ren Jie.

In AD 696, due to having credits in defeating the Rebellious Bandits in the South, Jin Hua was being appointed as the 4th Grade Marshal in the Imperial Court and was granted with the authority of joining in Confidential Discussions in Military Planning.

Due busy Schedule of work, Jin Hua had neglected his Marriage and so, when Jin Hua received the Order for him to station in the Capital, his Father used the opportunity to seek assistance from Di Ren Jie to look for a suitable Lady for Jin Hua’s marriage.

After Jin Hua settled down in the Capital, Di Ren Jie found a suitable timing and introduced his distant-relative niece Chen Qing Lian (陳清蓮) to Jin Hua, from then, both of them become close friend and in some way, both of them had fall in love for each other.

AD 698, 25th Day of Lunar 8 Month, Jin Hua was being summoned by Empress Wu to the Imperial Court for the finalizing of the Battle Issue, upon receiving the Order, Jin Hua went over to Di Mansion (狄府) to bid farewell to Qing Lian and asked her to wait for his returned. Shyly, Qing Lian nodded her head and agreed to wait for his return, regardless of months or years.

AD 698, 8th Day of Lunar 9 Month, Empress Wu’s Imperial Army Troop set off for the Battling. By the time the Troop reached the Border, it was already the Winter Season. Due to the sudden change of Weather, a lot of the Armies were being seriously affected and a number of them had lost their lives.

Seeing the situation was not right, Di Ren Jie had to make a report to Empress Wu on the situation. While the Reporting Petition arrived at the Imperial Court, Wu San Si (武三思) – the nephew of Empress Wu, got hold of it and deliberately delayed the sending in of the Petition to Empress Wu.

At the Border, Di Ren Jie & Jin Hua were eagerly waiting for the outcome of the Reporting but waiting for almost 3 months, no news was being received. Upon seeing the Armies suffering, Jin Hua had to volunteer himself to Di Ren Jie in taking some necessary actions for the suffering people. And without any other choices, Di Ren Jie had to grant his request. With Jin Hua’s volunteering, Di Ren Jie had gained more trust on Jin Hua and he made a promise to himself that, one day, he would try his best to assist Jin Hua in getting a Good Position in the Imperial Court.

AD 699, Lunar 3 Month, with Di Ren Jie & Jin Hua’s Strategy Planning, Tu Jue was being defeated. From then, Tu Jue had to surrender to China and take refuge under China. Due to Winter Season and the War, many innocent people were killed and many homes were destroyed. After Empress Wu got the Victory Report by Di Ren Jie, Empress Wu appointed him as He Bei Dao An Fu Da Shi (河北道安抚大使) – Ambassador of Comforting the Sufferings, and Jin Hua was being advised to assist him.

After 6 Months of Planning & assisting the Sufferings, most of the Homes were being rebuilt and soon, Peace regained in the Territory.

AD 700, Lunar 1 Month, Di Ren Jie & Jin Hua returned back to the Capital.

Upon returning back, Empress Wu was delighted with the hard-work & loyalty that both of them had put in, on the Day, Di Ren Jie was being appointed as Nei Shi (內史) – Imperial Highest Officer whom could distribute Imperial Order on behalf of the Emperor and with the Reporting of the Credits that Di Ren Jie had send in for Jin Hua, Jin Hua was being promoted to Grade 2 Marshal.

AD 700, Lunar 5 Month, Empress Wu released an Edict on making Buddhism (佛教) as the Main Religion in China (國教) and Taoist Temples (道觀) had to close down. Upon receiving the news and knowing that this was the trick that Wu San Si plotting, despite seriously ill, Di Ren Jie made his trip to the Summer Palace (避暑別宮) to request Empress Wu to stop promoting Buddhism. After getting the Advises and listen to the explanation from Di Ren Jie, Empress Wu had granted his wish.

On the way back to the Mansion, Di Ren Jie had ask Jin Hua to do follow-up inspection on Wu San Si, in-order not to let him had any more choice to plot nasty tricks again. Just as Di Ren Jie reached his Mansion, he collapsed at the Door-way and from then, he was in coma state.

Heavenly’s Will was Something that ALL Mortal couldn’t escape.

In the Winter Season of AD 700, Di Ren Jie left the World with an age of 71 years old.

After Di Ren Jie’s pass-on, most of the following-up tasks were being left to Jin Hua. And with the Last Will of Di Ren Jie for Jin Hua, Jin Hua had to fulfil his will by assisting the next new Premier – Zhang Jian Zhi (張柬之). And also due to Di Ren Jie’s pass-on, Jin Hua & Chen Qing Lian’s marriage had to be delayed.

AD 701, Jin Hua was being appointed by Empress Wu as the Overall-in-charge of Military Training and make planning for the Military Scholar Examination (唐朝武科舉) that took place in AD 702.

Jealousy could kill Millions.

After Jin Hua had accepted the Post of Overall-in-charge of Military Training, Wu San Si had started to do planning to pull Jin Hua down. In some events, Wu San Si pretended to show concern on Jin Hua, but secretly, he was making private records on Jin Hua.

AD 702, a day before the Military Scholar Examination commenced, Jin Hua was being thrown into the Jail due to the accusation of betraying & doing planning for the Over-throwing of Empress Wu.

AD 703, after the Military Scholar Examination was over, one of the Selected Military Scholars, known as Chen Tian Yao (陳天耀), was being taken-in by Wu San Si as the Private Assistant of him.

Chen Tian Yao, was actually the Schoolmate of Jin Hua. Due to Jin Hua was an Intelligent & Humble boy and always got the most praising from the Elders, Chen Tian Yao had somehow grew hatred against him. Since young, Chen Tian Yao had this thought of getting rid of Jin Hua.

Now, being taken-in by Wu San Si, Chen Tian Yao was granted the chance to get closer to Jin Hua. And seeing that Jin Hua had already gained a certain level of Recognition in the Imperial Court, Chen Tian Yao became more jealous and more hatred had arisen.

On the Lunar 8 Month of AD 703, Chen Tian Yao was being ordered to ransack the Mansion of Jin Hua. Just as Chen Tian Yao arrived at the Mansion, Chen Qing Lian was in there doing some cleaning for Jin Hua. Upon seeing Chen Qing Lian, Chen Tian Yao hatred arisen more against Jin Hua and so with an Order, Chen Qing Lian was being captured and thrown into the Jail while Chen Tian Yao accused her as part of the Group that betrayed Empress Wu.

Due to long term of stress & sadness, Chen Qing Lian had been infected by illnesses and with the shock that Chen Tian Yao had added on to her, Chen Qing Lian’s illness was worsen.

In the Jail, Qing Lian was locked beside Jin Hua.

Knowing that Qing Lian was being accused due to his fault and seeing her infected with illnesses, Jin Hua was totally heart-broken. Soon after Qing Lian settled down in the Jail, Chen Tian Yao arrived outside the cell where Jin Hua was locked to mock at him for being useless, mocking at him for Good-for-nothing and also mocked at him for not able to be a Real-Man, which cause his Love-one to suffer in Jail.

With all the mocking that Chen Tian Yao had made against him, Jin Hua got annoyed and with a spit, his saliva landed on Chen Tian Yao’s face.

Staring hard at Jin Hua whom had dared to spit at him, Chen Tian Yao was provoked and with an order, the Jail Guards pulled Jin Hua out and Chen Tian Yao stepped forward and gave Jin Hua a serious & hard bash.

Just before Jin Hua pass-out, Chen Tian Yao took out his sword and cut off Jin Hua’s tongue, after then, he threw the tongue back at him and warned him to be more polite in the future when Jin Hua see him.

Pitifully, Jin Hua was being thrown into the cell again and left there with blood continue flowing out from his mouth.

Upon seeing that Jin Hua had been tortured and he had lost his tongue, Qing Lian was extremely upset. Trying her best to shift her body to the barrier between the 2 cells, Qing Lian grab hold onto Jin Hua’s leg and tried to wake him up.

Tears rolling. (淚流成河無時干。)
Voice choking.( 聲喊成啞人已殘。)
Love seems like Fateless. (有緣又似無緣盡。)
Suffering multiplied. (傷悲為何增延長。)

Jin Hua was not able to regain his conscious. Qing Lian was frightened by the thought of Jin Hua had pass-on. As she shook his leg, Qing Lian tried her best to call out Jin Hua’s name. With a blast force of calling, Qing Lian spitted out blood onto the cell-barrier and slowly, she collapsed onto the ground.

Weakly, Jin Hua regained his conscious. With a slow turn, he saw Qing Lian was in coma lying on the ground. With a dash, despite the pain and suffers, Jin Hua came to the barrier. Looking at Qing Lian’s pale face, Jin Hua quickly grab-hold onto her hands. With a shock, Jin Hua realised that the hands of Qing Lian was Cold, Cold like freezing ice.

Jin Hua tried his best to rub his hands against Qing Lian’s hands. Calling with a tongue-less mouth, blood flowing, tears rolling, Jin Hua was not able to call back Qing Lian. The warm in his hands couldn’t warm the Already-cold Body of Qing Lian.

Jin Hua kneeled onto the floor facing the small opening space on the top of the cell-wall, holding on to Qing Lian’s cold hands and cried out tragically at the Heaven.

The Cry was loud and pity.(一聲哭泣成傷悲)
The Cry had reaches the Celestial Jail where Hong Ling Zi was being locked up.(再聲哭泣天地憐)
Celestial was crying.(三聲哭泣淚難干)
Mortally was crying too.(終盡無期還魂天)

With a knocked onto the cell-wall, Jin Hua killed himself in the Jail. With this knock, Jin Hua ended his 33 years of Life in this Mortal Realm.

Heaven is fair.

AD 705, Empress Wu was being Over-thrown. Wu San Si was being killed and Chen Tian Yao was being chopped into pieces by the Imperial Armies.

With a Gust of Wind, the 3 Spirits went back to the Celestial Realm again.

After their Departure, a Poem was being composed for them:

姻緣巧配天註定。(Fate are planned & arranged by the Nature)
無人能使他更替。(No one can change it, no one can rearrange it)
看似有緣又無緣。(Sometime, the Fate seems like None)
只因十世未完結。 (Just because, the Fate had not yet reach its final)

To be continue … …
