"What?" Wen Jia really didn't know about this matter, "He Shen has done such a good thing?" I've heard that he destroyed a lot of books! Talk about it, talk about it. ”

"In the forty-fifth year of Qianlong, that is, in the seventieth year of Qianlong's birthday, He Shen served as the last chief writer of the "Siku Quanshu". Tang Yi estimated that the boss would not appear for a while, so he told Wen Jia, "He had heard of this book before, but he hadn't read it. ”

As we all know, "Dream of Red Mansions" was originally called "The Story of the Stone", and when Cao Xueqin died, He Shen was only half a child, if it was pushed to the time when Cao Xueqin wrote "A Dream of Red Mansions", it is estimated that He Shen may still be breastfeeding.

After "The Stone Record" began to circulate, it was listed as ** by the Qing government, and it has been banned from publication since then. So it's normal that He Shen hasn't seen it.

However, the charm of a good book is endless, even if it is **, there are still people who peek at it. Moreover, some booksellers secretly print and distribute, and the purpose of booksellers is simpler, to make money! So, Heshen has heard of it.

He Shen became the chief writer, and finally watched "Dream of Red Mansions", and after He Shen's series of actions, a new situation appeared. borrowed a line that Song Jiang said to the emperor in the Water Margin: Wu Song captured Fang La with one arm, which has been widely spread in Jiangnan.

The land south of the Yangtze River turned out to be very fast

"Here, I have read a notebook of an anonymous person in the Qing Dynasty." Tang Yi said with a smile, "Looking at the penmanship, it really has the meaning of "Reading Wei Caotang Notes". ”

"Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" was compiled by Ji Xiaolan from the 54th year of Qianlong, and the writing time was later than the lifting of the ban on "Dream of Red Mansions".

Tang Yi said this because he felt that there was no historical evidence for the statement about He Shen and "Dream of Red Mansions". However, combined with some of the things he mastered, he still believed most of them.

In the forty-fifth year of Qianlong, He Shen had already leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he had a henchman named Su Ling'a. Su Ling'a is his name, he is a Manchurian, and his surname is Tala. Just like Heshen is just a name, the surname is Niu Colu.

Su Ling'a has an unusual relationship with He Shen, and is He Shen's younger brother and Lin's in-laws. "It is said that Su Ling'a's two daughters, that is Guose Tianxiang, one is married to the son of He Lin, and the other is married to the son of another corrupt official, Fucha Guotai."

"Don't make up some useless things, you just think about the country and Tianxiang, the boss is estimated to be coming soon, you haven't said the topic yet!" Wen Jia urged, and he couldn't hold back a little when he listened.

Tang Yi smiled, and then sped up.

This Su Ling'a spent a lot of money to get the original copy of "The Story of the Stone". He Shen soon knew, he had heard of it, but he hadn't seen it, so he borrowed it and read it. As a result, after reading it, I shouted good books!

Tang Yi's notebook was even more exaggerated, saying that He Shen's evaluation of "The Story of Stones" was "the first in the world".

Because it was ** before, Qianlong probably hadn't seen it. He Shen felt that he should show Qianlong.

However, this is a **, and I have written eighty times, and I haven't finished it, so it's really not appropriate to show it to the emperor like this.

So He Shen found two people, one was named Gao E, and the other was Cheng Weiyuan, both of whom were very famous literati at that time. He Shen hoped that they would continue to write "The Story of the Stone". As a result, after writing it, He Shen felt too sad when he read it, and the review did not pass guò! So he asked Gao He to change it again.

Of course, Gao He didn't want to change it, because he thought he was writing along Cao Xueqin's train of thought. However, He Shen couldn't afford to offend, so he didn't want to change it, and he had to change it according to He Shen's requirements. Not only did the content change, but also the title of the book, and "The Story of the Stone" became "Dream of Red Mansions".

At the same time, a sentence was added to the introduction: It is a book with a new and elegant meaning, and it has long been appreciated by famous princes. This sentence, of course, is a note added by He Shen in order to attract Qianlong more.

In Tang Yi's notes, there was still a plot where the Queen Mother Lafayette was coaxed to see in order to show Qianlong, but Tang Yi simply omitted it in order to save time.

said that after Qianlong read it, he was full of praise, and He Shen took the opportunity to propose the lifting of the ban, Qianlong not only agreed, but also asked the "Central Publishing Bureau" at that time, Wu Yingdian, to publish a set of "Collector's Edition".

Needless to say, Dream of Red Mansions was a mess.

Of course, this is just the content of a wild history notebook, and there is no official history to refer to and argue, but Tang Yi thinks it is more credible.

Wen Jia really listened to it, and immediately began to ask questions after listening: "I heard that when He Shen presided over the compilation of the "Siku Quanshu", he dealt with ** strictly! "Dream of Red Mansions" is well written, but He Shen is also a little too abnormal, and he bothered Baal to find someone to continue writing and revising, and finally found a way to show it to Qianlong, and asked for the ban to be lifted. He didn't write it, and he couldn't sign it. It's a bit too much to do, isn't it? ”

"Okay!" Tang Yi patted Wen Jia on the shoulder, "To govern history, you have to have such a questioning attitude!" ”

Since Tang Yi thinks it is credible, of course he has also researched some things.

He Shen has a very high IQ, and until now, he is likely to be the master of picking up girls all day long and being admitted to the Northern Qing Dynasty. He is proficient in Manchu, Han, Mongolian and Tibetan languages, and his poetry and writing are of a very high standard, at least higher than Qianlong.

He likes Dream of Red Mansions, it's not an ordinary like. He Shen has a collection of poems, called "Jiale Tang" poetry collection, from which Tang Yi found two poems: Jin Hai Twelve Idle Things, Wandering Together with the Car.

Of course, Tang Yi has also watched "Dream of Red Mansions", and he has watched it more than once. He also felt that there was a point that He Shen was quite like Baoyu.

It's all amorous seeds.

He Shen's wife Feng Shi was seriously ill, and He Shen actually said, I am willing to give up my family wealth in exchange for my wife's recovery! He Shen is a big corrupt official, greedy for money, and it is not easy to say such things. And he didn't just talk about it, Feng died, and no one was allowed to go to the original living room, so he could only hang himself.

Of course, affection does not mean to be devoted to just one person. He Shen was later handled by Jiaqing, and there was actually a concubine who committed suicide for He Shen!

He Shen, Jia Baoyu, said that they were alike, which sounded a little awkward. However, Tang Yi thinks so, He Shen is not only obsessed with the penmanship and poetry of "Dream of Red Mansions", but also finds resonance from the protagonist. That's a bit of an unusually high push for the book, which is understandable.

"Your sister! When you say that, I really believe it. Wen Jia sighed.

Tang Yi smiled, "History is written by people, which is right and which is wrong, unless you travel back in time to see, and you can't see everything!" Listen to it! ”

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly saw the stall owner walking over with his head probed, still holding the handwriting of Heshen in his hand.
