Hongyi actually didn't know what "Sun Day" was, but he understood "Sunday [1]", and he also knew that he was wrong to blame John Tang, so he hurriedly said affectionately:

"Tomorrow week, old Marfa can do a Mass for me."

"The old minister takes the order!"

Tang Ruowang couldn't help but be a little excited, and was determined according to his own ideas: although his physical condition was not good, his "IQ" and "mind" still successfully passed the random test of Little Belle Ye! So, he completely ignored Ji Kaisheng, who was anxious because of the abrupt interruption of the topic.

"Really? Tomorrow is the day of the 'altar' of the Holy Sect of Lord Tang? That's great, just in time to do it all together. ”

Ji Kaisheng can't wait for an opportunity to interject, so create an opportunity by himself! So he hurriedly said.

"All together? What did Master Ji say? ”

Tang Ruowang was a little dissatisfied with what Ji Kaisheng said about "sitting on the altar": I am not "sitting on the altar and discussing Zen", you are simply defiling the solemnity of the "mass"!

"Master Tang was in charge of the Bureau and the Qin Heavenly Prison in the former Ming Dynasty, can you know Meng Zhaoxiang, the servant of the Criminal Department of the Ming Dynasty?" Ji Kaisheng saw the dissatisfaction on Tang Ruowang's face, but he couldn't care about it so much for a long time, and completely according to his own rhythm and a little excitedly pointed out the key people in this conversation!

"Meng Zhaoxiang? How do I not know! ”

Sure enough, Tang Ruowang's face was instantly solemn, and he replied respectfully:

"In November of the second year of Shunzhi, Shuntianfu proposed to learn from the imperial history Cao Rong, listed the people who were loyal, filial and righteous, and asked the imperial court to give them respectively [xiù, the same as the "sleeve"] shirt table. Among them, the loyal ministers are at a glance. Including the late Ming Dynasty scholar Fan Jingwen, Taifu Temple Cheng Shen Jiayun and other twelve martyrs of the former dynasty, when the thieves broke the city, they either hanged themselves, or went to the water, or were unyielding and killed. Among them, including Meng Zhaoxiang, the squire of the Criminal Department, mentioned by Master Ji, and his son, Jinshi Meng Zhangming. The emperor also knew about it and gave it his permission. ”

Tang Ruowang was so smart that he didn't use the example of the previous Ming to prove that he knew Meng Zhaoxiang, but used the allusions of this dynasty to show his official identity.

"Oh? Sure enough, they are all loyal and righteous people. However, I don't know why Brother Tianzhong talked about this generous and righteous Meng Shilang? Hongyi also didn't know why, seeing that Tang Ruowang didn't ask. I had to go out on my own.

"Back to Lord Belle's words. The lower official wanted to invite Lord Tang's Qin Tianjian to go to the imperial court and choose tomorrow's auspicious time to sacrifice Meng Zhaoxiang's father and son's heroic spirits! Ji Kaisheng was finally able to get to the point!

"Sacrifice Meng Zhaoxiang? Why is that? ”

What Hongyi didn't understand was that the civil and military generals who were martyred in the former Ming Dynasty could not be counted. Why did Ji Kaisheng ask to sacrifice Meng Zhaoxiang? Does this person have anything to do with him? So he asked.

"Lord Belle. Meng Zhaoxiang was a scholar of the Renxu Branch in the second year of the Enlightenment of the Tomorrow Dynasty (1622...... He and his father. can be counted as 'the same year'......"

Ji Kaisheng's father, Ji Yuyong, was the 291st in the third class of the palace examination gold list that year, and the rank was really not high, if it was ranked among the 409 jinshi of all the "gold list titles" that year. It can only be counted as the three hundred and seventy-one, which belongs to the "end". And Ji Kaisheng was in the "Jichou Science Palace Examination" in the sixth year of Shunzhi, although he was also a top three "born in the same Jinshi", he ranked tenth in the top three in high school and ninety in total, which is much better to listen to. Therefore, when he talked about his father's palace test, he felt a little weak in his heart, and he was even embarrassed.

In fact, Meng Zhaoxiang's "ranking" back then was not ideal, only ranked 245th in the third class of the gold list "Citong Jinshi Origin", and the overall order could only be ranked 325th, but it was a little better than Ji Kaisheng's father.

Not only that, it is recorded in the official history that Meng Zhaoxiang is "going to the examination nine times". It takes only three years to take the exam, that is to say, "nine goes" is twenty-seven years, and Meng Zhaoxiang, who is a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, has changed from a young man who is "green and strong" to a middle-aged man with "frosty hair"! Not only that, if it weren't for the fact that the number of Jinshi admitted by the imperial court this year was more than in previous years, he would probably have created a record of "Ten Going to the Examination"! Therefore, good academic performance does not guarantee that the student is a good seedling of patriotism. When a national crisis is at hand, anyone can become a talent, regardless of their background!

"Oh...... Ling Zun remembered the friendship of the same year, which is also worthy of admiration. ”

Hongyi heard that this really had something to do with Ji Kaisheng's father Ji Yuyong, and then thought of before Tang Ruowang came, he and Ji Kaisheng said that this "old man Ji" was willing to contribute to the Qing Dynasty maritime merchants, and thought that this was a "political condition" attached to the "capital injection negotiation", so he nodded and smiled to show his understanding.

"Lord Belle, Meng Zhaoxiang's martyrdom can be described as a martyrdom, and his wife is also expressible! When the Manchu Hanchen was uncertain and panicked, if the imperial court could take this opportunity to pay tribute to the Meng family with great fanfare, it would definitely receive the miraculous effect of winning the hearts of the people! ”

Ji Kaisheng saw that he had been misunderstood, argued with some excitement, and explained in detail the loyal deeds of Meng Zhaoxiang's whole family......

Meng Zhaoxiang, whose name is Yunji, is a native of Zezhou, Shanxi. When this person was alive, his academic performance was average, but he was definitely an upright and good official! When he was serving in the ministry, his protégés came to visit him one after another, wanting to go through the teacher's back door. Who knew that "Teacher Meng", who had always been kind and pleasant, immediately became fierce and vicious after figuring out the other party's intentions, and loudly scolded the students for being incorruptible and shameful, but the students ran away and never dared to come to the door again! [Those "flies and tigers", you should compare yourself! 】

In the later period of the Chongzhen Dynasty, Meng Zhaoxiang was the official left and the servant, although there were twists and turns, but he was finally able to smoothly advance to the "general political envoy", and the later official worshiped the right servant of the criminal department. But soon after, King Li Zicheng broke through the city of Beijing. At the time of life and death, Meng Zhaoxiang said to his eldest son: "Sheji is overturned, where is home?" Since there is no home, there is only one death! Before hanging himself, he said to his son, "When I die, you can go!" How do you know that his son is not ambiguous, and resolutely said: "The monarch's father is a big festival, and now that the monarch is dead and his father is dead, what am I still alive for?" This Meng Zhaoxiang's eldest son is Meng Zhangming mentioned by Tang Ruowang earlier, the character is Yi, and he has just become a "Jinshi" not long ago!

So, after witnessing his father hanging himself, Meng Zhangming also threw himself to death beside his father. At this point, the story is not over, but the more tragic is behind! Both father and son died, Meng Zhaoxiang's wife Lu and daughter-in-law, Zhang Ming's wife Wang wept bitterly, and then said: "Their father and son can die, can't we two women?" Then, both of them hanged themselves......

"A limerick poem. Hidden Head

Looking at recent history, I am disappointed

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

Outside the map, there is a lot of strength

It's hard to know what you're going to do

I got up and wore Rokkazi

Point out the world's pain and joy

China's brilliant ten thousand idiots

The Wenwu Dynasty saw through the dream

[1] The week in the West first came from Sumer. The Sumerians built a pagoda to worship the gods, and they believed that there were seven star gods who took turns to be "on duty": the sun god (Sunday), the moon god (Monday), the Martian god (Tuesday), the god Mercury (Wednesday), the god Jupiter (Thursday), the god Venus (Friday), and the god Saturn (Saturday), so they established a seven-day week-by-week system. After Sumer, the week system was inherited by the ancient Babylonians. The ancient Jews, influenced by the civilization of the Two Rivers Valley, also accepted the week system. Later, the concept of the week spread to Europe with Christianity, which was derived from the Jewish religion. "Monday", "Tuesday", ...... In colloquial language, it is also used as "Monday" and "Tuesday...... Sunday is called "Sunday" and a week is called a "service". Thus, the Semitic religions all had a week, but they were different: Judaism used Saturday as the Sabbath, Christianity made Sunday Sunday, and Islam designated Friday as Jumuah, the main day of worship.
