Chapter 359: What a Du Hong Chengchou in the World!
In the food production area of the people of Guangdong, there is a very interesting spectacle in Fujian.
Outside many old houses, outside the gate, six low doors were added, which were called "six leaving the doors", which seemed to be used to keep livestock out of the door.
These six low doors, in the form of three doors side by side, are divided into two halves.
Below, there are three pairs of small doors, only to waist height.
The top, similar to the three windows, can also be opened.
Between the two, they are separated by narrow planks.
The very peculiar "Six Departures" can be regarded as a cultural heritage.
This "six departures", folklore, originated from Hong Chengchou's mother.
At the beginning, Hong Chengchou was defeated, and everyone at the time said that he was brave and righteous and martyred himself.
This is normal, the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time, not yet the siblings of later generations, slaughtered the people at every turn, in the Ming Dynasty, it was the Wuhu to the Han and the Mengyuan to the Song, which was the real enemy of life and death.
As far as Hong Chengchou's identity is concerned, he should be defeated and died.
The surrender of the Manchus was simply unbelievable.
Therefore, Chongzhen personally wrote a memorial for it, built an ancestral hall, gave a name, and Hongfu's hometown was also called "the gate of loyalty".
I never thought that my family would make a "death day" for him, but I got the news that Hong Chengchou wanted to return to his hometown, and his family did not believe it, but they had no choice but to confirm the news.
Hong's mother was immediately outside the door, arranging six low doors to prevent Hong Chengchou from entering the door.
When asked the reason, Hong's mother said: "This door is called 'Six Departure Gates'.
Whoever betrays the country and seeks glory, the mother does not think of the son, the wife does not think of the husband, the son does not think of the father, the six relatives do not recognize it, and all the people betray their relatives and leave!"
It is rumored that this is the allusion of "Six Departures".
Later generations even created operas such as the Fujian opera "Six Departures" and the Peking opera "Hong Mother Scolding the Domain" to show their contempt for Hong Chengchou's surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
……
Thinking of the allusion to "Six Departures" in his mind, Ye Shu felt a little depressed in his chest.
Without him, just because this opera of "Mother Hong's Scolding" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, although the scolding is piercing, it ......
It's fake!
Hong's mother didn't scold her son, as a mother's identity, she didn't understand so much righteousness, her son could come back alive from the battlefield, in his opinion, maybe it was already a "Bodhisattva blessing", therefore, when Hong Chengchou came to pick her up, Hong's mother should have followed him into Beijing, and after five years of Qing blessings, he was dressed as a noble man in the Qing Dynasty and returned to his hometown until he died of illness.
The one who really looked down on him was his younger brother Hong Chengjiao, who was extremely dissatisfied with him, so he wrote the words "Mahayana Lotus Heart" (one said that there is no lotus heart) on the plaque set up near Hong Chengchou's mansion, alluding to his lack of conscience.
It is difficult to test whether it is true or false in history.
These allusions are also true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish them.
But as the saying goes: hypocrisy is the tribute of evil to virtue.
"Hong Mother Scolds the Domain", "Chengchou Degrades Brother", "Six Departures" These operas can be so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that people confuse the truth with the false, which is enough to show that the people's hearts are biased, no matter how much you Hong Chengchou explains, no matter how many definitions experts and scholars make, Hong Chengchou is just a traitor in the hearts of the people!
As for just now, Hong Chengchou knew Ye Shu's intentions, and he looked like he was not afraid of death, so he asked Ye Shu to kill him?
Ye Shu naturally will not be soft.
It's just that before you do it, you inevitably have to ask: "If I kill you, do you disagree?" If there is something to say to move me, I will not kill you!"
Asking others is also asking oneself and asking one's heart.
Wang Yangming once said: It is easy to break the mountain, but it is difficult to break the heart.
Ye Shu Shenyuan's cultivation is difficult, he can kill people, but he must not go against his own will to do it.
Hong Chengchou closed his eyes for a long time, his eyebrows trembled, and there was darkness in front of him, as if he had returned to the moment when he was defeated and captured, closing his eyes and waiting for death, as if his experiences in the past few decades were just dreams.
It seems that when he opens his eyes the next moment, he has just experienced the battle of Matsuyama, and he is not sick, and life and death are up to him.
Waiting for death, it's terrible!
A few decades ago, I was afraid of death.
After a few decades, aren't you afraid of death?
I knew that I was sick, and I knew that I didn't have a few days to live......
However, it is difficult to die for eternity!
Why didn't you let me continue to live for the rest of the day?
In a trance, hearing Ye Shu's words, Hong Chengchou opened his eyes suddenly, and his almost static heart beat rapidly in an instant, like a fish that had been suffocated for a long time, gasping for breath, his back was wet, looking at Ye Shu's head, gritting his teeth, or a dead horse as a live horse doctor: "I fought for the Ming Dynasty for half my life, although the battle of Songshan was lost, I was never sorry for the Ming Emperor, and I had no choice but to surrender to the Qing Dynasty in danger, and I also survived a lot of Ming people's lives......"
Well?
Not bad!
In a word, it went to the idea that "its feelings are unforgivable, and its reason is reasonable."
Ye Shu shook his head: "This is difficult to achieve!"
If you are an ordinary person, it is just that, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was violent, but the tyranny of the late Ming Dynasty was also as harsh as a tiger, the two tigers competed for food, the people had no choice but to survive, and there was no choice, even the regular army of the country could not defeat outsiders, and even poisoned themselves, the people surrendered to the Qing, although I do not support it, but I will not say anything.
On the contrary, you are a major minister of the Ming Dynasty!
How many people are looking at you? Is this your own business?
You are in a high position, Zhong Ming Ding eats, and since you are benefiting from it, how can you not bear its responsibility?
If you say helpless, who has Chongzhen helpless?
Although he was defeated, it was extremely easy for him to survive, whether he was far away from Jiangnan, overseas, or even in the Qing Dynasty, as long as he prepared early, he could save his life.
But why did he choose to commit suicide?
Since he is in a high position, the country is ruined, and the nation is destroyed, how can he live with peace of mind because he has "done his best"?
No harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!
People often say 'Da Ming Feng Gu', this Ming Feng Gu, although Chongzhen is ambitious and talented, but in the end, with his own life, together with Shi Kefa and Huang Dao Zhou, interpreted the word 'Da Ming Feng Gu'!
Huh?
I heard that when the 'shaving order' was made, Huang Daozhou raised troops to save Jiangnan, but the troops were only a few thousand, and the food was only three months.
At that time, it was you who persuaded you to surrender, just like Fan Wencheng persuaded you to surrender that day.
As a result, Huang Daozhou sent you a couplet: The history is beautiful, although it is unsuccessful, it can be lawful; Hong En is mighty, and he can't repay the country and become an enemy.
It is said that you were ashamed to say that you even wrote to ask for pardon for his death sentence?
To be honest, when you saw that the Qing court had not killed Huang Dao Zhou, did you rejoice that your surrender that day allowed you to live?
You said that after you surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, you persuaded the benevolent government more and saved the lives of many Ming people.
Then why don't you say that the strategy you sacrificed, the generals you surrendered, the morale of the blows, and how many lives of the Ming people you killed?!
Is the loyalty of the zodiac Zhou weaker than your previous half of life?
Emperor Chongzhen's unwillingness, is it weaker than the rest of your life?
Both of them are begging for death, why is there only one Hong Chengchou left in the world?!"
