In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the traditional Cheng Zhu science of science could not keep up with the development of the times, and various schools of thought represented by Wang Yangming's mind science rose rapidly, which had a huge impact on Cheng Zhu science. This is certainly a manifestation of social progress, but at the same time, it has also caused confusion in the three views of Confucian disciples' thoughts, and the more intelligent people are, the more confused they are, and the last stream of mind gradually goes astray, moving closer to the ethereal Zen science.

At that time, the literati and doctors, when they went out, they didn't talk about two sentences of wonderful understanding, they were embarrassed to greet people, everyone was a smart person, and after abandoning the traditional concept of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the joy of the world after the world", they quickly saw through the word life, looking at the mountain is not a mountain, looking at the water is not water, a qiē is fake, and everyone in the world is drunk and I wake up alone.

After the invasion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was a division among the Han intellectuals, and some of them were unyielding and swore to resist; Some people go with the tide and surrender and become slaves; Some people live in seclusion and bury themselves in historical articles; There are also people who don't care about Yixia at all, and just want to find opportunities to climb up and realize their life ambitions.

There are many very smart people who are traitors who help the abuse, and they have seen everything through and figured it out. Isn't that what happens in this life? There is no principle that must be adhered to, and it is most important to control one's own destiny......

Qian Qianyi's realm is higher than theirs, looking at mountains or mountains, and water or water, so he has always been very entangled.

After Taoyuan's church was dispersed, Gu Yanwu finally saw Qian Qianyi and took out a few handwritten letters and handed them to him, one from Emperor Longwu, one from Wang Kefan, and one from his disciple Huang Zongxi. One letter came from Huang Jin, a veteran of the Donglin Party.

The two had a long talk, and after Gu Yanwu retired, Qian Qianyi sat in the room alone. stayed for a long time, until Liu Ru pushed the door into the house, and woke up from a trance......

The next morning, Qian Qianyi told Ma Guozhu that he and Liu Ru were willing to settle in Suzhou and would leave soon.

……

Shaoxing Mansion, the city of Fucheng is governed by the same city of Shanyin and Huiji counties. Known as the first capital in the southeast, it is only 120 miles away from the provincial capital Hangzhou.

Zhejiang was the most developed province in the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, and Shaoxing was the first in Zhejiang. There are a lot of champions, Bangyan and Tanhua, there are countless ordinary Jinshi, and there are many official eunuchs in the local area, and the Shanyin Qi family is one of them. When the Hongguang Dynasty fell. Qi Biaojia, the governor of Susong, committed suicide by throwing himself into the water. His family still lives in the Qifu Residence in San'in.

The literati and scholars in the south of the Yangtze River emerge in endlessly, often gather together to form associations, talk about literature and poetry, Shanyin Qifu Yuyuan often holds this kind of activity, the leading organizer in addition to Qi Biaojia's two sons Qi Lisun, Qi Bansun, and Cixi Wei Geng.

Wei Geng, a righteous man who resisted the Qing Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, was executed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the first year of Kangxi in history. Although the anti-Qing struggle in the Southern Ming Dynasty came and went. But many people rose up out of righteous indignation, and died almost suicidally. Wei Geng has a strong sense of organization and action, and has done several major things.

When Duoduo went south, Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, surrendered in Hangzhou, Wei Geng raised troops to resist the Qing Dynasty, led a group of stragglers and the Qing army to fight a few battles, after the defeat turned to the underground struggle, wearing monk clothes, hemp shoes and grass, running north and south of the river, contacting all parties to resist the Qing forces, Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Huangyan and Zhang Mingzhen attacked the Yangtze River three times, the first time to Zhenjiang and Guazhou, the second time to Yizhen, the third time to Nanjing, which all had Wei Geng's participation.

Shanyin Qi's Yuyuan is the secret stronghold of Wei Geng and others, the Qi brothers are rich and famous, the Yuyuan has convenient water and land transportation, Wei Geng and others are openly under the guise of forming a poetry society, secretly developing their strength, and a large number of anti-Qing fighters have gathered around them.

In the past few days, the famous poet Wu Weiye came to Shaoxing, and Qi's Yuyuan held another poetry meeting.

Wu Weiye is the author of "Round Song", the famous sentence "rushing to the crown and being angry for a red face" is well known to women and children, he lived in seclusion after the Qing army went south, and was entrusted by friends to come to Shaoxing to mediate the contradictions between the two literati communities.

The Qi brothers, as the hosts, have been welcoming guests at the gate of the garden, after Wu Weiye arrived, the poetry meeting officially began, Qi Lisun accompanied Wu Weiye and several other important guests, Qi Bansun turned back to the back hall and found Wei Geng.

"The people who came today are very miscellaneous, and the people who sue us must be cautious, and don't be too explicit in composing poems." Wei Geng has been secretly observing, and specially instructed Qi Bansun.

"I've explained everything, rest assured. Among these people who came today, there are many scum of Shilin who are keen on the fame of the Tartars. Qi Bansun snapped his fingers and said, "Wang Ting, Lu Qiuke, Wang Mingyue, Yao Qisheng...... Yao Qisheng, this guy, obviously has a lawsuit on his back, but he still wants to participate in the imperial examination of the Tartars......"

Things gather in kind, people in groups, and the scribes and scholars in the garden compose poems, forming a small circle to gather together.

"The people are suffering, the people are suffering, the rise and fall of the dynasty is inevitable, the scholars should take the scriptures and historical articles as the first priority, if I am in this subject, at most I will only be an official for ten years, and then I will resign to travel around the world, read thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles...... "Wang Ting is a native of Jiaxing, Zhejiang, a forty-year-old scholar, who has just been promoted by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and is quite reserved.

(He finally passed the third-class jinshi in the sixth year of Shunzhi, and later became a political envoy in Shanxi and a poet in the early Qing Dynasty.) ）

"That's a big fallacy! My generation has learned literary and martial arts, and I should sell it to the emperor's family to help me dominate the world as soon as possible, so as to end the troubled times when the people are not living...... "Wang Mingyue was born in poverty, he has been tempered since he was a child, and he only wants to get ahead as an adult. He is also nearly forty years old, in the field of repeated defeats, defeat and defeat until the Ming Dynasty before the fall of the country, after the Manchu Qing occupation of Jiangnan, he was the first to participate in the imperial examination held by the Qing court, but still did not get in.

(Wang Mingyue was a jinshi in the 12th year of Shunzhi, and he was a well-known official in the Shunzhi Dynasty, good at engaging in economy, and made great contributions to the logistics work of the Qing army, and was the highest political envoy in Guangdong.) After the little emperor Kangxi ascended the throne, he asked Wang Mingyue to compile a book of various stories of Xia Shang Yuanming and give him extracurricular reading, this book is called "Qianqiu Baojian". ）

"Alas, the life span of the former Ming Dynasty has ended, unless we don't do it, we can't do it! Although the dynasty has changed now, as long as we are diligent officials in the new dynasty, we can also benefit one party and make a difference. Although Lu is not talented, he is willing to make an agreement with your friends that after we wait for the first official, we will be a clean official, and we will never do that corrupt thing! Lu Qiuke is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, he is still a dull talent, and he has been working hard in the field since the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupied Jiangnan.

(Lu Qiuke was also a jinshi in the twelfth year of Shunzhi, and Wang Mingyue was the same year, and the highest was a member of the Criminal Department, and he was the governor of Fujian and Taiwan. ）

"Cut!" A sneer suddenly came from the side, and everyone looked back, and it turned out to be Yao Qisheng, a local from Shaoxing.

"Does a clean official have to be a good official? Hai Rui is clear, but he hits walls everywhere, how much can he do? Yao would rather be a capable official than a follower! ”

"Haha, you thief still dare to say big things, be careful to annoy me to report to the official, and arrest you to cut off your brain...... Well, hehe, hehe, just kidding, Brother Yao don't mind. ”

Lu Qiuke is fortunate to have a talent and fame, and he has a sense of superiority in the face of Yao Qisheng. Yao Qisheng's eyes flashed with a fierce light, Lu Qiuke was secretly startled, and hurriedly laughed a few times to make amends, and regretted it extremely much in his heart - Yao Qisheng This guy has always been eager to revenge, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, so why offend him.

Wang Mingyue is a master, not afraid of Yao Qisheng, but he is also afraid of his personality, and asked with a smile: "Is Brother Yao still preparing for the exam?" What have you been reading lately? ”

Yao Qisheng replied coldly: "Yao is naturally diligent in reading, chiseling the wall every day to steal light, hanging beams and piercing stocks, a lone book of "The Biography of Ruyi Jun" has been turned to a rotten place, and every trick and every potential is memorized. ”

"You ......"

Wang Mingyue was so choked that he couldn't speak, his face was red and his neck was thick, "The Legend of Ruyijun" is a picture of the Spring Palace, Yao Qisheng said this, it was clear that he would not give him face.

"Hehehe, Brother Xizhi (Yao Qishengzi) is still so witty, everyone knows each other well in the future, you will know that he is a problem, he is cold and hot-hearted, and has the style of ancient chivalry." Wang Ting and Yao Qisheng have a good personal relationship, and they came out to play a round: "Brother Xizhi is talented, I am far from waiting, if he participates in the scientific examination, he will definitely be a blockbuster, but he is still carrying a lawsuit, and he can't get out for the time being, alas, I have to think of a way to help Brother Xizhi get rid of this trouble......"

When the Qing army went south, Yao Qisheng was traveling in Nantong, Jiangsu, and was humiliated by a local hero, so he went to the Qing army to donate a military salary, was appointed as the local governor, and killed the powerful Manmen family, and then abandoned the official and fled.

Yao Qisheng is a pragmatist, acting both right and evil, never sticking to the rules, he is good at the way of economy, and he is good at leading troops to fight, which is much stronger than the ability of the royal court and several of them.

"Hehe, it's man-made, since I want to take the path of the imperial examination, there is always a way to erase that lawsuit." Yao Qisheng has long been confident, but it is inconvenient to say it in public.

……

(Among the characters who appeared today, Yao Qisheng and Wu Weiye are the most famous.)

In order to participate in the imperial examination, Yao Qisheng attached his clansmen to the Han Army with the red flag, the first place in the Eight Banners Township Examination, and was awarded the Governor of Xiangshan, Guangdong.

But he was very good at business, and after a few years of making a fortune, he recruited Xiang Yong to join the Qing army, and donated a large amount of military salary, and became an official again, becoming the governor of Fujian step by step, and recovering Taiwan with Shi Lang...... Objectively speaking, Yao Qisheng is indeed a character, but he is at a loss in the general righteousness of the nation, if he stands in the position of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he and Shi Lang recovered Taiwan and completely cut off the last bit of incense in the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Weiye is a tragic figure, a bit similar to Qian Qianyi's experience, he lived in seclusion at home for ten years, and finally couldn't resist the pressure to leave the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and soon resigned and returned to his hometown, and his life was in pain and entanglement.

"I am the old chicken dog of King Huai, and I will not go to the world with the immortals." It's a portrayal of his heart. (To be continued......)
