Chapter 11 How can you serve the people if you don't stand up for power?

Wang Xihou's real name is Wang Hou, but the name of Wang Hou is too domineering, in order to show the truth that low-key is the king's way, he changed his name to Wang Xihou. I don't know what his parents thought back then.

Wang Xihou children's shoes is a very gentle reader, 38 years old, after repeated attempts to fall to Sun Shan, but also cut off his own heart to enter the office, hard to write. After all, I'm too old to remember anything.

Wang Xihou was idle at home, and one day he suddenly felt that it was very inconvenient to check the "Kangxi Dictionary", so he spent 17 years writing this book, named "Ziguan". Isn't this idle?! It's okay to change the dictionary to play.

The book is divided into four categories: heaven, earth, people, and things, and is a concise dictionary. This book can connect the world, so that scholars can draw inferences from each other and bypass the analogy, which is really convenient to find.

In 1775, the fortieth year of Qianlong, "Ziguan" was finally published. Wang Xihou children's shoes are very happy. But he didn't expect that this matter would be stabbed by his fellow countryman Wang Lunan.

Wang Lunan is a well-known scoundrel in Shili and Eight Villages, who was once assigned by the government to Yunnan for stealing chickens and dogs, peeking at widows taking baths, and so on. He was unwilling to die of old age and smoke in the wilderness, so he secretly ran back to his hometown. After he came back, he didn't change his life, and went to do some hooligan things such as stealing chickens and dogs, and watching widows take a bath. At that time, Wang Xihou was in the prime of life, young and vigorous, so several young men from the same township sent him to the Public Security Bureau again. Years later, Wang's good fortune came, and he encountered a general amnesty from the government and finally returned to his hometown. The first thing he did when he returned to his hometown was to do everything possible to find an opportunity to kill Wang Xihou.

On this day, he heard that "Ziguan" was published, so he immediately ran to find Haicheng, who was holding back his strength and preparing to do a big job. As soon as Hai Cheng heard it, he knew that there was a drama in this matter: dare to change the dictionary of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, do you think you are Zhuge Liang?! Even if you have that intelligence, do you have that blessing?! Don't you catch death! Come on, tie them up for me!

"My lord, Wang Lunan is a ruffian, just because I have offended him, he holds a grudge, he is waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. The blue sky is above, the saints are below, and I hope that the adults can see clearly and avenge the villain! After Wang Xihou saw Haicheng, he shouted loudly.

For Wang Lunan's personality, Haicheng naturally knows it. But his focus is not here, he cares about whether Wang Xihou can get along with the 'rebellion'. So, you call yours, I'll do mine. Haicheng gave an order, and the officials beat Wang Xihou's ass indiscriminately, throwing people into the prison, and then "Ziguan" was seized by the government.

What kind of ink is with Lao Tzu's ink, Lao Tzu is still annoyed!

Hai Cheng took "Ziguan" and found some literati and asked them to read it line by line, check word by word, and pick out the content that was rebellious.

Whoever can find out will be rewarded with a hundred taels!

To say that there must be brave men under heavy rewards, this sentence is not false at all. The literati looked there day and night with magnifying glasses, and after a few days, they finally found the 'flaw'.

"My lord, this great perverse content is in the preface of the book. Wang Xihou said in the preface, 'However, it is difficult to penetrate', this sentence is ridiculing the "Kangxi Dictionary"! A sour literati shook his head and said.

"Really?!" Haicheng's eyes lit up, "There really is such a sentence!" I think this "Kangxi Dictionary" is a collection of characters and a book that is not easy to learn through the ages, naturally contains a large number of words, and with the side, dot painting divisions, you can check one to get one, check ten to get ten, there is no omission. But Wang Xihou is smart, "Ziguan" is just an imitation, but he still has to classify it according to the words. He also thinks that the "Kangxi Dictionary" is difficult to connect, and with this sentence, his identity as a person cannot be kept! Well, great! ”

So, after some preparations, on the first day of October in the forty-second year of Qianlong (1777), Haicheng sent someone to send a special copy of the song and the forty copies of "Ziguan" to Qianlong Ye. He thought that he could turn purple in front of Lord Qianlong with this fold, but he didn't expect that it was because of this fold that he almost killed him.

After Qianlong Ye received Haicheng's post, he flipped through "Ziguan". He felt that the book was nothing more than a dictionary. Although the dictionary has a slow and disrespectful attitude towards Emperor Kangxi, it is not a rebellion, so I don't pay much attention to this matter.

On this day, he and the adults accompanied Qianlong Ye in the palace, and the two chatted and talked about Haicheng's twists and turns. At that time, Lord He had already been promoted to the left attendant of the household department in June of that year, and the right attendant of the official department, and he was fully qualified to ask the local magistrate for the excerpt. Lord Qianlong is not afraid to talk about it with him.

"An excerpt from Haicheng?! Is there anything wrong with "Word Run"?! As soon as he heard that it was Haicheng's excerpt, he immediately became interested.

As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Why ten years?! That's because he didn't have a chance, and he reported on the spot when he had the opportunity. This time, Haicheng was planted in the hands of Lord He, and he should have suffered this fate.

"Wang Xihou, who wrote "Ziguan", was a little disrespectful to Emperor Kangxi. Hai Chengjuan asked to remove his lifter, and he was convicted in trial. "Lord Qianlong, Haicheng said it again.

"Your Majesty, the slave is a little interested in this dictionary, can you let the slave borrow it for a few days?!" And adults know that the opportunity for revenge has come, so they naturally refuse to let it go easily. With such a huge and complex book, it is easy to find out the omissions of Haicheng's review.

"It's rare that you have this mind, if you want to see it, you can take it and see it!" Lord Qianlong agreed.

and adults took "Ziguan" home, and locked himself in the study to study it carefully. As the saying goes, hard work pays off, he carefully flipped through the pages one by one, and found something wrong on the tenth page of "Ziguan". In the 'Ordinary Cases' after the preface, the temple numbers of Emperor Shunzhi and Emperor Kangxi and the imperial names of Qianlong were listed together with other common names.

China's feudal society has always paid attention to 'hiding for the venerable'. With the improvement and strengthening of imperial power, the system of evasion has become more and more strict. Not only was the emperor's name not allowed to be spoken or written, but sometimes it could not be used along with phonetic characters.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu people had long names and surnames and a large number of words, and they were no longer very obsessed with avoidance. However, because the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains with foreign races, it encountered the desperate struggle of the literati in the south of the Yangtze River. As a result, the rulers paid close attention to every move of the literati, and avoidance was once again elevated to a strategic level. "Ziguan" does not shy away from the emperor's name, this is a big rebellion! Hae-sung didn't even notice it. And adults feel that the opportunity for their own success has come.

Surely there will be retribution. If you don't stand up, how can you convince the public?! He wants to use this opportunity to tell everyone that those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die.

Collect, collect, collect!
