Chapter 184 - Politics and Culture
PS: I wish all passengers of the Malaysian flight class, especially the Chinese, a safe return home!
Although old scholars such as Hu Shi'an have tacitly accepted the view of "righteousness and benefit in parallel" as expressed through Deming's mouth, there is a premise that "profit follows righteousness". If Zheng Zhilong is really as Xuan Ye said, "blindly pursuing profits", and even "unscrupulous means", it will become perverse!
"Lord Belle, in this way, wouldn't it be humiliating to use his people again?" Hu Shi'an spoke what most people were thinking, but he didn't get everyone's nod to support him. Because everyone knows: if Xiao Xuanye can say this, there will definitely be a following, and it must be amazing, or wait and see what it will become.
Seeing that the rest of the people were full of doubts, but they hid their faces, Hongyi knew that everyone was waiting for him to explain the reason because of his identity as a prince, so he hurriedly said:
"Master Hu is reasonable, and Xuan Ye's words are by no means alarmist, and there are several specific examples to corroborate. However, we should not simply despise this, but should get to the bottom of it and get to the bottom of it. ”
It's a turnaround. As for how Zheng Zhilong pursues the maximization of profits, in fact, it is not to say: otherwise, where did he get the money and food to support the huge sea fleet? How can you hire sailors of all races, black, white and yellow with high salaries to serve you to the death?
"Why? How? In the opinion of the old minister, it is nothing more than the desire for profit and the disrespect for the hadith. Hu Shi'an has never been able to get out of the old pedantic mindset, and he takes it for granted that "don't do to others" what he "doesn't want", and often only cares about beating him to death with a stick. And don't ask why.
"Lord Hu, it may not be true. Speaking of the importance of King Tong'an, we must also remember his origin. In fact, the people who value profit in Fujian are not the only ones with King An? It's just that he's a little too paranoid about it. ”
Hongyi's simple sentence, the level involved suddenly jumped from Zheng Zhilong alone to the entire Fujian Province, which was a bit too shocking!
"Why did the second son of the emperor say this? Could it be that the Confucian scholars of Fujian have also become mercenary? Don't forget, Zhu Xi is from Fujian! Hu Shi'an clearly disagrees.
"Master Hu, don't worry. Xuan Ye said that the people of Fujian value profit, but he never said that they are mercenary. In fact, the Min people especially respect Confucianism and education. This is the tradition and essence of Min Chinese. ”
Hongyi will no longer turn his nose up at people and opinions with different political views. It's about analyzing layer by layer, steady and steady.
"In ancient times, Fujian was a barbaric land, and civilization was inferior. But with the Han people's clothing crown crossed to the south, starting from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the Song Dynasty. Fuzhou, Jianzhou, Quanzhou, Xinghua and other places in Fujian. Culture is gradually emerging and talents are coming out in large numbers. Cai Xiang, Zhu Xi, Liu Yong, etc. are all outstanding people. Especially in the Zhu Ming Dynasty, Fujian's coastal ports were lined up and trade was endless, and it became a rich land. Almost every house sails and trades. What is commendable is that at the same time, the elders of Fujian also admired the way of Confucius and Mencius, emphasized the righteousness of etiquette and religion, and scholars abounded. Even within a family, fathers, brothers, and children, who are businessmen and who seek profits, have a clear division of labor with those who study and seek employment, in order to rely on each other. ”
In this way, the scholars of the well-off families in central Fujian have a rich livelihood, no worries about food and clothing, and naturally devote themselves to study and have many achievements. Regardless of other places, just talking about Quanzhou, from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 2,300 scholars in the imperial examinations of all dynasties. Among them, there were 16 people in the Tang Dynasty, 7 people in the 5th Dynasty, more than 1,400 people in the Song Dynasty, 3 people in the Yuan Dynasty, and 552 people in the Ming Dynasty. It is the three imperial examinations after I entered the customs, and there are already seventeen people in Quanzhou Jinbang High School! Therefore, Xuan Ye thought that the local scholars and people in Fujian must be the "way of business and Confucianism" that advocates 'valuing fame and righteousness' and 'pragmatic profit-seeking'. ”
Hu Shi'an nodded silently and didn't dwell on this matter anymore.
Since the little prince admits that Fujian has produced talents, it is easy to do. After all, since the Southern Song Dynasty, Fujian has become a major base of Chinese civilization. Regardless of the previous dynasty, but in the ninth year of Shunzhi, the Renchen Palace Examination showed that there were 379 Jinshi in the first class, "Cijinshi and the first", the second class "Cijinshi Origin" and the third class "Citong Jinshi Origin", and 29 Fujian students were in the Jinshi, accounting for nearly one percent of the total number of the country! If you look at the three dynasties of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, there are countless Fujian Jinshi. Regarding this point, Hu Shi'an, who had been the official of the examination paper of the Dinghai Kedian in Shunzhi for four years, knew very well.
Hu Shi'an didn't speak, and Li Jiqi, who was already unwilling to sink, spoke again.
"Your Majesty, the second son of the emperor lives in the palace, but he has a lot of care for the customs and humanities of Fujian, which is really erudite and inquisitive! Congratulations to the emperor, this noble son can be a minister! ”
"Master Li has won the award, how dare Xuan Ye take on the name of this erudite and inquisitive? The reason why I have a little understanding of things in Fujian is all with the help of Mr. Tan Qiantan's teaching. "Hongyi read historical materials when he was in college, but he had to give credit to the people of insight around him.
"Oh, it turned out to be taught by Lord Tanqian, no wonder it's so accurate!" Li Jiqi's comment also attracted Hongyi's attention.
"Precise? Fu Xian, are you saying that Xuan Ye's 'way of Confucianism' of the Min people is accurate? How accurate? The emperor was glad that Li Jiqi could take the initiative to participate, so he asked.
"Back to the emperor's words, the minister also heard the discussion of others who are good at this matter, so he said this." Li Jiqi hurriedly replied to the emperor's questioning.
"Oh, who said that? What's the discussion? Let's hear it! ”
"Huh! The minister was favored by the saint, in the second year of Shunzhi to be promoted to the head of the household department to be the secretary of the Zhejiang according to the inspection of the envoy, and promoted the study of politics, but the minister was not talented but tired of the emperor's grace, and then there were many promotions, and returned to Beijing in the tenth year of Shunzhi to serve as the general political envoy to the left of the general government. But because of this experience, he got acquainted with Song Zhengyu Song, who later served as the governor of Fujian. The minister and Lord Song had a lot of poetry and writing, so they made friends. ”
Li Jiqi introduced a "Song Zhengyu", Hongyi didn't know, but Fulin was very happy.
"Really? Fu Xian and Song Zhengyu know each other? Haha, this Shangbao Siqing of mine[1], it seems that he must also be a talented man who is proficient in poetry and literature! Fu Lin half-jokingly and half-seriously talked about chanting poetry and painting, so as to dispel the idea of a group of superintendents of the imperial history and impeachment of the two of them "privately forming a party".
"The emperor is wrong to love, and the minister's poems are compared to Song Zhengyu. It's a world of difference. Lord Song has long been famous for poetry, and in the former Ming Dynasty, he was called the third son of Yunjian with fellow villagers Chen Zilong and Li Wen [2]. Li Jiqi is naturally polite. This aroused the great interest of the poet-loving emperor.
"Haha, I've heard of the Cloud Word School. Li Wen, I know that Prince Rui's "To the Cabinet of History" [3] is not from his handwriting? It's a pity that he died of illness on the way back to Beijing after the expiration of his four-year Ding worry, and it is a pity that he can't ask for advice in person after I am in power. Once again, Fulin showed his love for his heart. Let a group of Hanchen be quite useful.
"As for Chen Zilong. But it's a character. I thought that the lyrics began to decline in the Yuan Dynasty, and they withered even more in the Ming Dynasty. The Yunjian faction headed by Chen Zilong is committed to the words and sings diligently. Make the art of words like a new life! Chen Zilong's treatises advocate Li Jing and Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty, as well as famous scholars of Huajian Ci[4], Qin Guan of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhou Bangyan and others. Graceful. It is very profound, and it can be said that the humerus is in the word! Fu Lin is still unfinished, commenting on the so-called "Yunjian Ci School" representative Chen Zilong.
"Your Majesty. Although Chen Zilong is talented, he is attached to the puppet government of the Southern Ming Dynasty, does not know the general trend, does not conform to the will of heaven, and after being captured by our soldiers, he did not change his mind, and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water, and the blame was taken by himself! This person is insignificant! Jueluo Bahana heard that the emperor was making a big deal of "Muhan" again, and if it was spread to Cining Palace, an old minister like him would inevitably be affected, so he hurriedly came out to remind him.
"Haha, why should Bahana fight with a dead man? He does not descend, and indeed does not know the times. However, he is talented, but it is needless to say! It's a pity to say that I was not pro-government at that time, otherwise, ala......s, "Fu Lin didn't care, and actually expressed the view of decoupling politics and literature and art!"
"Your Majesty! National policy and poetry and literature, the two can go hand in hand, and the minister ...... "Li Jiqi was excited, and he was ready to say something."
No wonder he was excited, among the three sons in the clouds, Chen Zilong committed suicide, but Li Wen and Song Zhengyu were the same as him Li Jiqi, and finally chose to surrender to the Qing court. However, after these Han literati committed themselves to the Qing Dynasty, they never passed the hurdle of Huayi's distinction.
Take Li Wen as an example, as a talent of the Ming Dynasty, but not long after the fall of the old dynasty, he became an official in the Qing court, which was called the Yi by the Han people at that time, whether from the perspective of the traditional education of "loyalty to the monarch and serving the country" that he received since childhood, or from his own conscience, this kind of disobedience and betrayal cannot but be an unusually heavy spiritual burden. Therefore, one of the important themes of his poetry is to express the depression and guilt of being in troubled times. His works are full of poems of self-blame and self-pity, a kind of suppressed and painful guilt is shown everywhere, and at the same time, he is also full of nostalgia and nostalgia for his homeland.
"Okay, another day, I will definitely have to discuss with the people who carry the Ding Ding of the Cloud Poetry School. But today, Fu Xian still gets down to business first. "Fu Lin didn't give Li Jiqi a chance to continue this sensitive topic!
On the surface, Fulin is indeed a good emperor who loves his job and dedication, and did not affect the process of the meeting because of his "selfish interests". The deep-seated reason is that Fu Lin is interrupting the mood that Li Jiqi wants to express, so as not to become the target of most Manchu ministers and some Han Chen's attacks.
"Minister, obey the order." Li Jiqi reluctantly swallowed the words that came to his lips again, and began to get to the point.
Li Jiqi didn't say anything, Hongyi on the side also knew, and he was sure that Fulin also agreed. What words? Roughly it should be-
If I am like the emperor in the Qing Dynasty, and I advocate the sinicization of Confucianism, and it is best to "turn the man into the Han Dynasty", then the world will be sure to be just around the corner! A group of remnants of the former Ming Dynasty are looking forward to this......
Sound familiar? A typical Yixia debate! Yes, Chen Mingxia died on this sentence, or, more precisely, on the reason why this sentence was hated by the Manchurian clique headed by Cining Palace! The young Fulin was helpless, and he was annoyed by Chen Mingxia's desperate Hanchen party struggle, so he had to kill his own special talent!
How can politics and culture be separated? Hongyi sighed secretly......
[The clumsy online article that was first published at the starting point, there are few readers, but there are a lot of pirated websites that have been posted, and a lot of readers have been lost, how can this cultural atmosphere work? We Chinese are clamoring very loudly in many things, but often when it comes to critical moments, we all sing, sad and lamentable! 】
[1] Shang Bao Siqing, Zheng Wupin. Signature of the Ming official. In the first year (1367) of Western Wu (the predecessor of the Ming Dynasty), Shangbao Division was established. Palm seals, talismans, seals. There is one Qing, five products, one Shaoqing, five products, three Si Cheng, and six products. At the beginning, he served as a Confucian minister and a guard to lead the secretary, and the children of the minister of the guard were ordered to make up for it. Later, he often sends Lu with grace and shadow, and there are no permanent members. After moving the capital to Beijing, Shang Bao Si was called Shang Bao Si, and there was still one Shang Bao Si Qing in Nanjing, but there was no treasure to hold. When the treasure seal is needed, the outer Shang Bao Division uses the unveiling sticker to go to the eunuch Shang Bao to ask for a decree, and to the female official Shang Bao Si in the palace to receive it.
[2] The Yunjian Poetry School, or Yunjian School, was a literary school in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, headed by Chen Zilong, and Li Wen and Song Zhengyu of the same county were in harmony, known as the "Three Sons of Yunjian". The Yunjian Poetry School is the third important poetry retro movement in poetics in the Ming Dynasty, and it is called "Fengya Sanxi" together with the first seven sons and the latter seven sons. Chen Zilong was a patriotic poet in the late Ming Dynasty, who studied under Huang Daozhou and was good at poetry, and was as famous as Qian Qianyi and Wu Meicun. In the early years of Chongzhen, Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, Xu Fuyuan, Peng Bin, Du Linzheng? , Zhou Lixun six people formed the Wenshe Qi Society. In the tenth year of Chongzhen (1637), Ding Chou Kejinshi was elected as the manager of Huizhou Mansion in Guangdong. The officer went to the Nanjing Military Department to give the matter. King Fu called the emperor in Nanjing, Zilong on the defensive strategy, please recall the old Shangshu Zheng Sanjun, do not listen, in February next year, begging to go. Later, he became a monk, and his legal name was sincere. repeatedly raised troops to resist the Qing Dynasty, and later formed the Taihu Righteous Army, plotting to start an incident, and finally fled in defeat. After Xia Zhixu committed suicide, Chen Zilong took refuge in the house of his close friend Hou Qizeng's servant Liu Tao, and then fled to his son-in-law, Gu Tiankui's brother in Kunshan. Soon in Wuxian Tanshan Gu Tiankui ancestral tomb was arrested by the Caojiang Imperial History Chen Jin, the first year of Yongli (Qing Shunzhi four years, 1647) on the night of June 15, on the way to Nanjing, Chen Zilong broke off the shackles, threw himself into the river to kill himself, was cut off the head, and threw his body into the river. Chen Zilong's students scooped up his body and buried it in the Chen cemetery. Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty pursued Zhongyu. Li Wen (1608-1647), the name Shuzhang, was a native of Songjiang, Shanghai, and a lyricist. studied hard, in the early years, he was the main alliance of the Restoration Society, and Chen Zilong, Song Zhengyu and called the three sons of Yunjian, and Peng Bin, Xia Yunyi, Zhou Lixun, Xu Fuyuan and others sang and sang in poetry. Li Wen has a deep affection for Liu Ru. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen (1642), he raised people. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, Gong Dingyu tried to recommend Wen, known as Wen Miao. Legend has it that Dolgon's "Book of the Regent to Shi Kefa" was written by Li Wen. In the third year of Shunzhi (1646), he returned to the south to bury his father, and died of illness soon after. He is the author of "New Poems of the Three Sons of the Clouds" and so on.
[3] The "Letter to the Historians" is commonly known as the "Dolgon's Letter to the Historians".
[4] "Flower Words" is an early word that derives its name from its source, the Flower Collection. Generally speaking, words are classified by length: "slow words" are the longest, from 90 to more than 200 words, so they are also called "long tones"; From 59 to 9 crosses are "middle tones", and within 59 characters are "small orders". "Between the Flowers" collects, only small and middle tones and no long and slow words. This is not because the selector has a preference for Xiaoling, so he abandons slow words and does not record them, because slow words have not yet developed from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties (even in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty). The same is true of another early anthology, "The Zun Qian Ji", which only contains minor reams and middle notes. (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
