Chapter 36 third chapter

There was a thick blanket on the ground, and there was no sound when walking on it.I walked to the short table and stood quietly. On the left side of the table, there are unreviewed ones, while Yinzhen Zhu's approved ones are placed on the right side.Thirteen held his forehead and looked down at a booklet and said: "Brother Emperor, since the Fujian foreign ban was opened, the people there frequently go abroad for trade, but our dynasty has no relevant regulations. If things go on like this for a long time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to manage." Seeing that the two of them were going to talk about business again, I walked lightly towards the tent door.Before taking two steps, Yinzhen's voice came from behind: "Ruoxi." Turning around and looking around, Yinzhen said with a smile on his lips, "Go and make some tea."

Thirteen looked at me sideways, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Please trouble sister-in-law." With a smile, he gave him a glance, quickly lifted the curtain and went out, and told Gao Wuyong who was guarding outside the tent, "Go get some tea." After speaking, the curtain came in.He walked over, sat beside Yinzhen, and waited quietly for Gao Wuyong. Inadvertently glanced at a booklet spread out on the table, the red word "secret" in the lower right corner was very eye-catching, a little surprised, then looked down, "Report to the emperor: Yue Zhongqi, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, is on the way back to the office in a sedan chair." Once received a letter, the content involved rebellious words, hoping to use his military power to achieve the purpose of anti-Qing. '

Since the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, in order to understand the situation, although the rulers continued to use the Ming Dynasty's draft system, they were different from the Ming Dynasty in terms of specific practices, and got rid of some disadvantages.Since the fifty-first year of Kangxi, any matter involving confidentiality can be written in person.After Yinzhen succeeded to the throne, he not only continued to practice, but also further expanded the scope of Mizhe personnel, reaching more than a thousand people.In this way, the more people report, the harder it is to conceal things, because if you don’t write the truth, others will definitely write the truth. What happened to the officials within their own scope of authority, I didn’t report it, but others did. , it seems a bit dereliction of duty.

Wu Yan laughed secretly, I don't know if Yue Zhongqi played it, if not, the light ones will be reprimanded, and the serious ones may be suspected, after all, the content involved is bound to violate the text, and it is serious enough to expect to use his military power... Thinking of this, there was a sudden shock in my heart, and I couldn't help trembling slightly, suddenly realized what was related to Yue Zhongqi and made Yinzhen furious.After a moment of stupefaction, what should come is still here, the only literary prison in the Yongzheng Dynasty. Literary prisons have existed since ancient times. In the Qing Dynasty, there were Zhuang's Mingshi case and Dai Mingshi's Nanshan collection case only in the Kangxi period.

The case of Ming history is a case of Zhuang Tingyuan, a wealthy businessman in Wucheng, Zhejiang, who accidentally discovered the posthumous manuscript of Ming history "Biography of the Officials of the Dynasties" written by his neighbor Zhu Guozhen, a scholar. This book is nothing, but he reprimanded the Manchus in the book. In the book, he directly wrote the names of the ancestors of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. And renamed the book "Famous History" and counted it as his own work.After the book was compiled, Zhuang Tinglong had already passed away. If we stopped here, maybe nothing would happen.However, his father, Zhuang Yuncheng, published the book on a large scale, and was reported to the imperial court by interested people. Zhuang Yuncheng was arrested and sent to Beijing, where he died in prison. Those who engraved books, sold books, and collected books were all executed.More than 70 people were killed and implicated in prison successively, and hundreds of people were exiled to the frontier.

Ming Fang Xiaobiao once went to Yunnan to serve as an official under Wu Sangui, and later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty to save himself from death. His book "Dian Gui Ji Wen" mentioned in this book that the Yongli regime in the Southern Ming Dynasty was not considered a false dynasty.After Dai Mingshi saw this book, he quoted it in his book "Nanshan Collection", mentioned Emperor Hongguang of Nanming and his year name, and revealed the truth about Emperor Kangxi's killing of Prince Ming. The anti-Qing incident in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty expressed sympathy for the kings of the Southern Ming Dynasty.As a result, the two books are considered to have the language of "big rebellion".As a result, hundreds of people were affected. Dai Mingshi was beheaded, Fang Xiaobiao was dead and his body was slaughtered, all males over the age of 16 were killed, female family members were confiscated as slaves, and all members of the Fang clan were exiled to Heilongjiang.

These two cases were caused by compiling the history of the previous and current dynasties.Although Kangxi's method was a bit of a big deal, its real purpose was to threaten the Han intellectuals who had anti-Qing and Ming-ming thoughts with violence.However, the Zeng Jing case this time is trying to win over the important ministers who have military power in the court, hoping to use military power to achieve the purpose of overthrowing the court. , is not a trivial matter, but a major event with rebellious significance. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Liuliang, the "Master of the East China Sea" in Zhejiang Province, participated in the anti-Qing Dynasty, but he failed in the struggle. Sadly, he accepted his children to teach at home.Later, because someone recommended him to be erudite, he resolutely refused. Later, he simply went to the monastery, shaved his head and became a monk, hiding in the monastery and writing books.The book contains content against the rule of the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately, it was written and was not circulated. After Lu Liuliang died, no one noticed it.Zeng Jing in Hunan came across Lv Liuliang's articles by chance and admired Lv Liuliang's knowledge very much, so she sent her student Zhang Xi from Hunan to Lv Liuliang's hometown Zhejiang to inquire about his leftover manuscripts.As soon as Zhang Xi arrived in Zhejiang, he not only found out the whereabouts of the manuscript, but also found two students of Lu Liuliang.When Zhang Xi talked with them, they hit it off very well.After he reported to Zeng Jing, Zeng Jing also asked the two of them to meet. The four of them were very like-minded and wanted to meet each other. They discussed how to overthrow the Qing Dynasty.Zeng Jing found out that Yue Zhongqi, a minister of the Han nationality who served as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, was a descendant of Yue Fei and held military power, so he was very popular.I feel that if I can persuade Yue Zhongqi to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, there is great hope of success.Zeng Jing wrote a letter and sent Zhang Xi to find Yue Zhongqi.After Yue Zhongqi received the letter, she was taken aback. After threatening Zhang Xi to confess to her accomplices but failed, she pretended to agree, and Zhang Xi then explained their plan and masterminds one by one.Yue Zhongqi immediately went up to play Yongzheng and reported the rebellion.Emperor Yongzheng severely punished them.Although Lu Liuliang was dead, Yongzheng still dug his grave, chopped up his coffin and slaughtered his body, and executed all of Lu Liuliang's descendants and his two students.Many scholars who followed Lu Liuliang were also implicated and sent to remote areas to serve as soldiers.

I sat dumbfounded, feeling a little confused, whether Lu Liuliang had a granddaughter, whether there was Lu Siniang, and whether the unofficial history was true. "Ruoxi, what's the matter with you?" Hearing his anxious inquiry, I looked at him blankly. Although his face was calm, there was a hint of worry in his eyes. I seemed to be raving: "Does he have a granddaughter?" He squinted his eyes and glanced at Thirteen. Wang Wang held the hands next to the desks tightly and said, "Ruoxi, who has a granddaughter?" Staring at him, the slightest sadness fell into my heart. It is now the sixth year of Yongzheng, and there are still seven years to go. There are only seven years, and we may face another eternal separation between heaven and man.My body felt cold for a while, my mind was numb, I had no more thoughts in my heart, I just stared at him blankly.

Thirteen looked shocked, put down the booklet in his hand and said to Yinzhen: "Brother Emperor, Ruoxi is not quite right." Yinzhen slightly lowered his jaw, glanced at the booklet as if missing something, then grabbed my shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Ruoxi, what are you afraid of? What do you know?" When he came back to his senses, his heart was terrified, the tears in his eyes trickled down his face, history is doomed, do you have the ability to change?But can something really be changed?Just a little is fine. Yinzhen stared at me, gently wiped away the tears from my cheeks, turned his head to Shisan and said, "It's been a long time since I went to Mulan Paddock, and the Mongolian ministries haven't made a pilgrimage for many years." With a trace of worry, he frowned slightly and said: "You go first, so you can prepare well. You and Si elder brother will accompany the two princes for dinner." Thirteen looked at me, stood up, and walked out.

Yinzhen stared at me silently. After a while, when I calmed down, he said lightly: "What are you afraid of? Ever since the first emperor served tea in front of you, you have been worrying all the year round, acting like walking on eggshells, looking forward and backward. Just now you see When I read this note, my expression changed drastically. You have lived in the palace for a long time, what can you know, and what do you know. Ruoxi, isn't there an agreement between us, no matter when we will be honest with each other. " My heart was filled with bitterness, could I tell him frankly that I came from another time and space?I already know the final outcome of each of them, can I tell him clearly?

Looking up at him, with tears on his face, he said with a slight smile: "What I'm afraid of is just 'to avoid the literary inquisition, and to write books for rice." In later generations, some of them may only be trying to survive, not because they are full of resentment, mourning and ridicule.” He frowned, staring at me with no emotion on his face, and after a while, he put his hand on the booklet indifferently. Said: "You are talking about literary prison." I bit my lower lip lightly, fell silent for a while, then held his hand and said, "I don't mean to intervene in political affairs, I'm just afraid that some people will take the meaning out of context, make it far-fetched, and claim credit for it; So much so that the literary network is densely covered, and unjust prisons are frequent, and everyone in the literati is in danger, lest they will be caught in a trap or be implicated if they are not careful. At that time, the world will not be peaceful, and some people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity Fight against the imperial court and slander the emperor." He stared at me, and after listening to my words, his face was a little relieved, and he sighed softly: "Do you know what those rebellious words are, seeking father, forcing mother, traveling brother, slaughtering brother, punishing loyalty, Ren Yu... It’s a full list of my top ten crimes.” He paused, his eyes gradually hurt, and he clenched his fists and said: “These” scholar-bureaucrats who cling to the “discrimination between Hua and Barbarians” express their hatred of the court and their yearning for the former court everywhere in their writings. , I spent nearly a hundred years in the Qing Dynasty, but I couldn't get a solution.I hope that here I come to an end. " I felt sore, he had his own ideas, and I couldn't influence him.I just hope that the unofficial history I know is just a joke, there is no such thing; I hope that everything I worry about is superfluous.Deep in my heart I sighed secretly, although I didn't want such a person, but to be on the safe side, it would be good to meet Shisan another day and let him investigate, as we can always prevent problems before they happen. His frowning brows were relaxed, and a slight smile appeared on his face: "Don't think about these things, what you have to think about now is to take care of your body so that you can give birth to a few big fat boys for me." My face became hot, and I pushed him hard and said, "Do you think I'm a sow? How many more can I give birth at once?" With a smile on his lips, he pulled me into his arms and said, "If so, then That's good, I'll have a few more sons at once." The two had their own concerns and talked for a while.I lay quietly on his shoulders, staring at the screen, my mind was empty.He patted me on the back and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid of that lonely and helpless expression on your face. Whenever this expression appears, there will be an ominous omen in my heart. I always feel that you will leave at any time." I'll go. Ruoxi, don't worry about the affairs of the court, you just need to stay with me and Honghan, be my wife and his mother-in-law, don't worry about other things." I put my head on him With his arms around his shoulders, he said softly, "Yes, I also wish I didn't think about anything, but how can I do that?" He sighed softly, and said in a deep voice: "Ruoxi, everyone has to take responsibility for what they have done. Since they left an article, they have to pay the due price for it. However, I will only investigate For the people involved, the dense network of literature and frequent unjust prisons you are worried about will not appear." It would be great if I was born and raised in this dynasty. I don't know the ending of each person, and I won't worry all day long.I have tried my best to say so much, but I just don't want the descendants to kill Lu Liuliang, so that even if there is Lu Siniang, the scene I am worried about will not happen.
