Chapter 3 third quarter

Liang Xinghai's name is Dingfen, from Guangzhou.He lost his mother at the age of seven and his father at the age of twelve, and was raised by his aunt.He was born with a big head and a short body, with a beard and eyebrows like a halberd, and his appearance is not delicate at all, but his writing is extraordinary. He studied in the "Dongshu" of Chen Lanfu, a great scholar in central Guangdong. At that time, the general in Guangzhou was named Chang Shan, and his family was regarded as a scholarly family among the big families of the Eight Banners.The back garden of the General Administration in Guangzhou, named Pot Garden, has extremely beautiful pavilions. The hospitable Changshan opened the mansion and invited young celebrities to study with his nephews Zhirui and Zhigou.Among them, Liang Dingfen is the youngest, followed by Yu Shimei from He County, Guangxi, and Wen Tingshi from Pingxiang, Jiangxi.These two are also senior disciples of the Dongshu School, so they are classmates and colleagues with Liang Dingfen, and because they are similar in age, their friendship is even closer.

Liang Dingfen's family name came out early, and he ordered Hanlin at the age of 22 in the sixth year of Guangxu, the same year as Li Ciming.This year's housing examiners are Guozijian Jijiu Wang Xianqian and the head of the clan's mansion Gong Zhenxiang. Gong Zhenxiang is the tutor of Liang Dingfen's rural examination, and Wang Jijiu is his tutor for this time. Wang and Gong are close relatives.Liang Dingfen traveled with his father in Hunan since he was a child, and his many connections contributed to Liang Dingfen's marriage. Gong Zhenxiang has a niece who is the niece of Wang Xianqian's direct relative.Ms. Gong's parents died when she was a child, and she was brought up by her aunt. At this time, she looks slim, beautiful and capable of poetry. No matter if she is an uncle or an uncle, of course everyone hopes that she will marry a Hanlin.

It is rare that Liang Dingfen has not yet married a wife, and a ready-made good marriage is readily available.So the spring breeze was proud of the big admission, and the autumn wind was proud of the small admission. In August of this year, they got married in Beijing. Of course Liang Dingfen seemed very satisfied, and named his new residence "Xifengyuan".But when the amphibious life was short, he asked for leave for burial, and returned to Beijing in the spring of the following year.Before leaving to swear to the tomb, I am determined to be a loyal minister. After three years, the library was disbanded, and Liang Dingfen stayed in the library to serve as an editor.With his literary talents, he is naturally one of the famous Hanlin, and most of the people who come and go are celebrities, and the most frequent ones are his fellow countrymen, the family of Li Wentian, the Hanlin of the South Study Room.

One day Li Wentian made a horoscope for Liang Dingfen, saying that he would not live to be twenty-seven.Li Wentian's study of astrology is famous, and many people believe that he can really tell the difference between life and death, so Liang Dingfen was terrified, and hurriedly asked for advice if there is a way to resolve it. Li Wentian studied for a long time, and answered him that only by encountering a strange disaster can one avoid death.But what is a strange misfortune, and where does the misfortune come from?That's a lot of thinking. At that time, when Sino-French negotiations were about to break down, Qing Yi attacked Li Hongzhang with great impassionedness and fierceness, but all of them were limited to words, and there were not many impeachment memorials, but there were some, and the wording was relatively gentle and reserved.Only the son of Yi Peishen, the governor of Sichuan Province, wrote a memorial for Yi Shunding, whom Wang Xiangqi called "the fairy boy", saying that Li Hongzhang had "ten things to kill".In fact, this is Yi Shunding's verbal criticism, chatting and pleasant game pen and ink, because Yi Shunding has no words to blame, and he can't offend Li Hongzhang, who is so powerful for no reason.However, Liang Dingfen, who had ulterior motives, saw that he was inspired, so he asked for this manuscript, and immediately transcribed it, and asked the head of the Imperial Academy to play it.

When the Empress Dowager Cixi saw the memorial, she was furious, and summoned military planes to punish Liang Dingfen severely. Yan Jingming tried his best to intercede for him, so that nothing happened.
