Chapter 0061: Qiao Yuanshan Is Dead?
"What's the problem?"
Hearing this, Qiao Tianyu's heartbeat accelerated sharply, and he was about to faint nervously.
The letter paper used in this letter is made of leather paper as raw material, the thickness is uniform, the surface is powdered, waxed, calendered, and then the ice plum pattern is painted with mud gold, so it is called the plum blossom jade plate. Qiao Daye explained.
"This kind of paper is a tribute for Hangzhou weaving, the cost is extremely expensive, since the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it has become a special paper for the Qing court, and the people are not allowed to circulate it for private use, so the source of this letter can only be the Qing court!"
"Qing court?"
Qiao Tianyu couldn't believe his ears, this ordinary letter was actually circulated from the Qing court?
It's incredible!
It's no wonder that the Qiao family put this letter in the ancestral hall and enshrined it for hundreds of years, it turned out to be so big, it seems that this Qiao Yuanshan is not a mortal!
"Well, yes. Qiao Daye nodded and said.
"What about Qiao Yuanshan, does Mr. Qiao Shimin have the impression that he should be the Qiao family, but why didn't he appear on the Qiao family tree?" Qiao Tianyu asked anxiously.
"He's not the Qiao family!" Qiao Daye said seriously.
Mr. Qiao Shimin said that when he rebuilt the family tree ten years ago, he knew the name. ”
"In fact, strictly speaking, Qiao Yuanshan is not the Qiao family. ”
When he was a child, he came to Qiaojiabao Village with his mother to beg for food, and later his mother died of illness in Qiaojiabao, so Qiao's family adopted him and let him follow the surname Qiao and named Qiao Yuanshan. ”
Later, when Qiao Yuanshan grew up, he studied in the Qiaojia Old School with the children in the village, and soon stood out and became the most outstanding student in the Qiaojia Old School. ”
Later, Qiao Yuanshan was suddenly requisitioned by the imperial court and left Qiaojiabao, and there has been no news since then, and no one knows what happened to him. ”
And the imperial court was very secretive about the requisition of Qiao Yuanshan, as if there was no such person, and gradually, the name Qiao Yuanshan was also forgotten by people. ”
"The last time I rebuilt the genealogy, several old people in the Qiao clan had a dispute over Qiao Yuanshan's affairs, should I let him be on the genealogy?"
But after all, Qiao Yuanshan is not the real Qiao family, and he has no way to go down the spectrum, so he did not appear in the Qiao family tree. ”
"Over the years, the old people in the clan have driven west one after another, so there are almost no old people who know Qiao Yuanshan. ”
"Fortunately, Qiao Shimin is still alive and remembers this name, otherwise no one will know it at all. ”
"Oh, I see!" Qiao Tianyu nodded.
This statement corresponds to the record of the Qiao family's old school and the court paper used in that letter!
"And then, do you have any other discoveries?" Qiao Tianyu asked impatiently.
"Yes. Qiao Daye continued.
"After China Energy International successfully won the Western Mexico Railway Project and went public, Li Dahai contacted a senior researcher at the Palace Museum to thank us for our great help. ”
After the senior researcher got the letter, he was sure that the letter was indeed an object of the Qing court. ”
"Entrusted by Li Dahai, he consulted the relevant classics overnight, and finally found the first half of this letter!"
"The first half?"
Qiao Tianyu was fascinated by what he heard, he didn't expect that there was still a first half of this letter.
"Yes, the first half!" said Qiao Daye earnestly.
"The page in our hands is just a list attached to the text, and there is still content in front of it. ”
The senior researcher of the Palace Museum looked through the historical materials left by the Qing court, and no similar content was found in the official history. ”
However, a clue was found in a "Records of the Qing Dynasty", in fact, this letter was a holy decree copied by the Qing court at that time. ”
"The Records of the Great Qing Dynasty is a compilation of official historical materials of the Qing Dynasty, covering many aspects such as politics, economy, culture, military, diplomacy and natural phenomena. ”
It contains a selection of edicts and recitals in various periods of the Qing Dynasty, and there are many records of the emperor's daily life, weddings and funerals, sacrifices, and lucky tours. ”
And this "Records of the Qing Dynasty" was privately compiled by the historians of the Qing Dynasty. ”
Adhering to the attitude of respecting true history, the historians sorted out the events that could not be recorded in the "Records of the Great Qing Dynasty" for various reasons, especially the edicts and recitals of the emperors in various periods. ”
According to the "Records of the Qing Dynasty", in the second year of Xuantong, domestic and foreign-funded banks prevailed, and the national ticket number Yinzhuang was frequently squeezed, and they were squeezed and closed down. ”
"Especially after the collapse of the largest source in China, Fengrun Money and Yishanyuan, the country's financial sector is in danger of exhaustion. ”
In order to prevent the country's economic lifeline from being controlled by foreigners, the Qing court selected capable and intelligent people from the country's major ticket numbers and the children of the family to go to the United States and England to learn the method of financing and connecting money, in order to rejuvenate the country financially. ”
"And this letter in our hands is the holy decree issued by Emperor Xuantong for this matter, when Qiao Yuanshan was selected by the Qing court and sent to the United States to study economics and finance. ”
"Oh, I see. Qiao Tianyu understood.
This corresponds to Qiao Yuanshan's cleverness recorded in the Qiao family's old school.
Seriously, being a big country in China and being selected by the Qing court to be sent to the United States for further study among all living beings shows that Qiao Yuanshan is indeed not simple!
"What happened later?Is there any record in the "Records of the Great Qing Dynasty" what happened to Qiao Yuanshan later?" Qiao Tianyu then asked.
"Yes. Qiao Daye then explained.
According to the "Records of the Qing Dynasty", two groups of people full of the Qing court's desire to rejuvenate the country financially boarded a steamship from Shanghai to save the country in the second year of Xuantong, that is, on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month in 1910. ”
However, who knew that on the thirteenth day of the sixth lunar month of that year, that is, five days after the departure of the two groups of people, bad news came from the sea. ”
"The two ships carrying the hope of the Chinese nation were shipwrecked in the high seas, and the two groups of 24 people with lofty ideals all died in the sea!"
"On the same day, the envoys of Britain, France, the United States, Japan and other countries attacked at the same time, condemning the Qing court for insisting on going its own way and making moves behind the scenes.
However, the weak and incompetent Qing court did not dare to stand up to find out the truth and seek justice for the 24 patriots who sacrificed their lives for the country. ”
Instead, they immediately dissociated themselves from the matter, secretly withdrew the decree, wiped out all traces of the matter, and refused to admit it. ”
Later, the matter was closed, and no one dared to mention it again, so the matter was not included in the "Records of the Qing Dynasty". ”
"If it weren't for the Qing court historians secretly leaving a sample, I'm afraid this matter would have been completely forgotten by history!"
"Qiao Yuanshan is dead?" Qiao Tianyu was shocked.
How so?!
