Chapter 518: Literal Hell

Fang is a secret of the word Zhizhi, and he is a native of Tongcheng, Anqing Prefecture.

After the death of Fang Yizhi in history, he first fled to Nanjing, and then defected to Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui.

After being falsely impeached and removed from office by the eunuch Wang Kun, he became disheartened, cut his hair and became a monk, and secretly organized the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

Kangxi was arrested for ten years in connection with the Zhiyue case, and died on the boat on the way to Guangdong.

The nature of the Yue case cannot be verified due to the long period of time and incomplete information, and according to the existing information, there are theories of conspiracy against Zhulian, there is a theory of literary prison, and there is also a theory that the enemy denounced it.

Speaking of Word Hell...

In fact, the Manchus had a chance to lead the world, or not lag behind.

But the Manchu literal prison completely wiped out this possibility.

From the beginning of the Shunzhi period to the end of the Qianlong period, more than 160 literary prison cases with a relatively large scope arose in the 140-odd years.

A sad situation has been formed. 𝙢.𝙫𝙤🅳𝙏𝙬.🄲𝙊𝓜

The victim of the first literary prison case was Zhang Jinyan, who surrendered to the Manchus, and there was a sentence in his article that "the talent of the generals" was "the talent of the generals".

When Shunzhi saw it, he felt that there was something wrong and ordered him to be arrested and imprisoned, and exiled to Ningguta after confiscating his family property.

Someone has calculated that the number of Manchu literary prisons is more than the total number of other dynasties!

During this period, countless people were killed, convicted, and affected.

It really did the mouth of the people more than the Sichuan!

Under the influence of the literary prison, the thinking scholars of the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not dare to enter the court.

After all, if you can't read or write, thousands of people can die if you flip through books indiscriminately, and those maverick readers can only hide at home to do learning and write books.

This is the case with Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi, Fang Yizhi and others.

Of course.

Even if they could enter the court, they would not go.

These people have thoughts in their hearts, but they can't spread them.

Even if it can be spread, no one will learn it, because they have never been officials, and they have never taught students who are officials.

At that time, the people were proud to be in the court.

If you want to spread the idea, you must become a high-ranking official in the court, or teach some students who are high-ranking officials.

......

Looking at Fang Yizhi, who was a little stunned, Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, pushed his shoulder: "Your Majesty asked you!" ”

After Fang Yizhi calmed down, his eyes were full of doubts.

Of course, he understood Chongzhen's question and knew the answer.

But he always felt that the answer in his heart was wrong.

Out of respect for Chongzhen, Fang Yizhi replied slowly: "Your Majesty, the reason why the snow falls is the same as the water flowing down. ”

"Then why does the water flow lower?"

Fang Yizhi replied with a serious face: "The minister thinks that the truth recorded in the "Ink Scripture and Sutra Says" is correct. "The Sutra says" has a record: force, the word heavy. Under and heavy, fen also. ”

The meaning of this sentence is roughly that the weight of an object is caused by gravity, and the object falls under the action of gravity while making an accelerated motion.

Chongzhen smiled faintly: "That... Do you know where this earth-facing force comes from? ”

This question stumped Fang Yizhi.

Oh, yes...

There is a downward force, but where does this force come from?

Looking at Fang Yizhi, who was silent and contemplative, Chongzhen knew that his goal had been achieved.
