For three days in a row, every day before dawn, I climbed Jingshan and waited in the pavilion in the middle of the mountain for the singing to sound again, but the song never appeared again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoI don't know if it's a deliberate avoidance, or because the garden in Jingshan is too big, and I miss it every time.

After that, the things of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Bureau suddenly increased, and in about a year, I went north to Inner Mongolia, south to Hubei, and then to Chongqing and Yunnan for a round, and encountered strange and confusing cases. Some of them slowly worked out the results, and some of them wasted time in vain, and they were always unsolved, but these cases did not occupy all my thoughts, and in the dead of night, I always inadvertently remembered what happened to Juan Bei.

At that time, there were no convenient means of contact such as mobile phones and pagers, and once I left home, no one else could know my whereabouts, let alone contact me. I knew that Juan Bei and Peng Yushu must have come to see me during my absence, although I was also looking forward to Ju Anbei returning to the stage and telling me half of the secrets he had told me that time. But for some reason, thinking of what happened to Juan Bei, I always felt a little worried in my heart.

During the more than a year of running across the country, I went back to Beijing two or three times to rest for a few days, but every time I snuggled up on my sofa, I remembered the ethereal Peking Opera singing on Jingshan. Maybe I used it as a clue, and I spent almost all my rest time running to the nearby theater and going to the glass factory to buy old records. "Daiyu Funeral Flowers", "Eryou of Red Mansions", "Jun Raider", "Qingwen", "Wang Xifeng Havoc in Rongguo Mansion", all the Peking Opera related to the Dream of Red Mansions can be listened to, and everything that can be found has been found, but the strange thing is that there is no part I want to hear, is it really like Hu Anbei said, this is a play that has been lost for a long time?

I called Peng Yushu, and Peng Yushu told me that everything in Juan Bei has been fine recently, especially when he speaks, almost exactly like a normal person, and told me not to worry. It's just that soon, their Peking Opera Troupe is about to celebrate its 40th anniversary, Juan Bei is busy creating new plays on a national tour, and he is still the executive director, there are too many things, and Peng Yushu hasn't seen him for a while.

During the Spring Festival of '87, I received a letter from Juan Bei. At the beginning of the letter, he politely thanked me for my previous help to him, told me that a lot of the material I provided played an important role in the creation of his new play, and apologized that his new script had reached the most critical moment recently, and he did not have time to talk to me. However, in the second half of the letter, he spent a lot of space talking about the fact that he was doing some research on the origin of Peking Opera, and asked me to verify that on Qianlong's 80th birthday, the Hui troupe entered Beijing, and then jumped from the local opera of Anqing to the national opera. Among them, did He Shen play a key role?

In my impression, Qianlong was extremely fond of opera, he went to the south of the Yangtze River six times, and every southern tour was inseparable from local opera, and the formation and rapid development of Peking Opera were inseparable from the role of upward and downward effects. In those years, He Shen was the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and Qianlong's diet and daily life were arranged for him, so thinking about it, it is very likely that He Shen introduced the Huiban to Beijing.

The entry of the Hui class into Beijing is a landmark event for the real formation of Peking Opera, and the Hui class was actually supported by the Hui merchants, and it can even be said that it was the private troupe of the Hui merchants. With this layer of relationship, it seems that He Shen should be the driving force behind the entry of the Hui class into Beijing.

But after all, these are just my speculations, and there is not much written evidence. It happened that time when I was in Beijing for the Chinese New Year, I had a rare leisure, and I was curious about the problem of Juan Bei, so I carefully looked through the genealogical records and went to the library for a few days. Under this investigation, I found a lot of facts that shocked me.

The rapid popularity of the gentry, on the one hand, is related to his roots and seedlings, and he is the flag man of the red flag, on the other hand, it is related to the early death of his parents, who have been under the fence since he was a child, and has experienced the warmth and coldness of people, and has no smuggling on his body.

But the gentry from an inner court guard, more than ten years of drilling into the cabinet of power, is really unreasonable, according to the history books, because he is good at figuring out the will, won Qianlong's love. For example, Ji Xiaolan is also very compatible with Qianlong's wishes, but after serving for half his life, he only has the false title of a university scholar, which can only show that the gentry still has some real skills.

However, from the Qing Dynasty to the Qianlong period, it was a prosperous era on the surface, but it was very corrupt on the inside, and bribery, buying officials, forming parties, and colluding with politics and business have been made public. The gentry climbed up from a small guard, without the help of the important ministers of the court, and with the difficulties of his early years, it seemed that he did not have the capital to make friends with the courtiers, let alone ask those important ministers to speak for him. How was his primitive accumulation accomplished?

The development of the gentry is related to his exile in Yunnan and the thorough investigation of Li Shiyao, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Not to mention how the gentry got this fat difference, just talk about Li Shiyao, he has been the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou for nearly ten years, and the southwest officialdom has long been called by him to call for wind and rain, and it does not leak. The key positions are all Li Shiyao's people, and they are all relatives, fellow villagers, and the same family, one is prosperous and one is lost. Although he and the gentry are ministers who serve paper, the officials are only three grades, and the government and the opposition do not have any strong connections, and they want to bring down Li Shiyao, which is comparable to ascending to the sky.

When everyone thought that the so-called thorough investigation was just a formality, it took only one month for the gentry to complete the major corruption case of Li Shiyao. What's even more puzzling is that Li Shiyao's housekeeper is the first to turn back, and he has a large number of internal accounts. Then, Li Shiyao's fellow villagers defected one after another, and wrote a lot of black materials to expose Li Shiyao. The key is that Li Shiyao himself, who did not go to the book to justify, took all the blame.

What's even more strange is that Li Shuyao has been an official for more than 30 years, with many eyes and ears, from the imperial court appointed He Kun to come to Yunnan to investigate the case, this news has already spread to Yunnan, and He Kun came all the way, and it took almost half a year, Li Shuyao had enough time to destroy human and physical evidence, but he didn't do it, as if everything was specially prepared, waiting for He Kun to receive this credit.

He Kun took advantage of Li Shiyao's case to fight for the name of a capable minister, a loyal minister, and a lonely minister in front of Qianlong, and since then he has stepped into the center, coupled with the deep hatred and Shen as a military minister Fukangan, Ah Gui died of illness soon after, and there was no power to check and balance, which accelerated He Kun's monopoly on the dynasty.

It is precisely because of the suspicious points in Li Shiyao's case that it is rumored that He Kun was sold by the Heaven and Earth Association very early. Heaven and Earth will rely on their own local forces and the internal response of the Hanchen to help He Kun ascend to the throne, and He Kun will gain the trust of Qianlong, but he will do a lot of corruption and fraud, exclude the Manchu ministers, and disrupt the court. Even the Heaven and Earth Society handed over the huge wealth left by the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty in exile to He Shen to help him operate up and down and soar.

After Qianlong's death, to the Jiaqing Dynasty, He Shen's corruption case was discovered, and he was given to his death to copy his home, and he actually copied out a wealth worth hundreds of millions of taels. At the time, it was said that "He Shen fell, Jiaqing was full", but it is hard to imagine that such a huge wealth was obtained by He Shen through corruption, and He Shen privately stored the wealth of the Heaven and Earth Society, and it is very likely that he was bought by the Heaven and Earth Society as an internal response in the early years.

There are all kinds of speculations about the secrets behind He Shen, but it is an undeniable fact that the Qing Dynasty has experienced a series of tosses and turns, especially since the late Qianlong period, there have been countless uprisings of all sizes, and these uprisings are inextricably linked with the Heaven and Earth Society, and they also have an almost unified slogan, that is, because of corrupt officials like He Shen rampant uprisings. He Shen formed a party for personal gain, and won over a large number of Han officials, on the contrary, some outstanding talents among the Manchus were the targets of his key crackdowns, but He Shen was a Manchu with a red flag, and this phenomenon cannot but be said to be contrary to common sense.

On the one hand, it catered to Qianlong's preferences, but as the so-called upward and downward effect, the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Eight Banners system were shaken, and who of the Manchu Dynasty did not want to work hard and indulge? Who wanted to train hard? Think about the fact that a hundred years later, Yuan Shikai forced the palace to ask Pu Yi to abdicate, and the Manchu Eight Banners could not organize an army that could resist, as long as the new government gave the moon and silver, what did it matter if the surname Manchu was surnamed Han, and what did it matter if it was an imperial system or a republic? It's a complete walking corpse. In fact, this result was already buried in Heshen more than a hundred years ago.

Everyone thinks that He Shen is a traitor and a minister, but history often drowns out his talent, vision and courage. Where did these self-contradictions in He Shen come from? What do they represent? I suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly looked at the records in the history books. He Shen was born in 1750, and the year before, it was the 14th year of Qianlong, when the Jingshan complex was rebuilt, and there was the statue of Xuanwu Zhenjun surrounded by buildings that we saw in remote sensing photos. There seems to be providence in the dark.

All this may be a historical coincidence, or it may be our speculation after dinner, but what I can't figure out is why Hu Anbei thought of He Shen? Would he understand the connection between He Shen and the Hui Ban's entry into Beijing, and between He Shen and the prosperity of Peking Opera? At that moment, I suddenly felt that Hu Anbei was like a wise man who had insight into the world, leading me into a bottomless historical conspiracy.
