Chapter 34: The Beginning of the Case

Dongfang Qiuping, seeing that Xiaoyaozi came back so soon, she was a little puzzled, "Brother Xiaoyao, why did you come back so soon!"

Xiaoyao told Dongfang Qiuping and them what happened just now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info and tell them what you're going to do.

At this time, I only heard Ling'er say with a smile: "Brother, don't have to be so troublesome, you can go to Hangzhou by yourself, find an inn and buy it, and then integrate the inn with it." “

Xiaoyao laughed, "Hahaha, I didn't expect the inn to have this kind of function, so it's convenient to go anywhere in the future." “

He walked out of the inn door and put the inn away. In the eyes of outsiders, nothing has changed in this inn.

When I came to the lake, I saw a boat going to Yangzhou. So he sat down, but found that there were three scribes in the boat. After greeting them, I walked over and sat down for a drink. Listening, the three scribes whispered on the side, and gradually understood the beginning and end of the Ming case.

Originally, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Huzhou in western Zhejiang are located on the shore of Taihu Lake, with flat terrain and fertile soil, and are rich in rice and silk. The first county of Huzhou Prefecture is called Wuxing County today, and it was divided into Wucheng and An'an two counties in the Qing Dynasty. Since the style of writing is very prosperous, the past dynasties have produced many talents, Liang Shi divided the Chinese characters into Shen Yue, who went up to the four deep, and Zhao Mengye, who had the best calligraphy and painting in the Yuan Dynasty, were all from Huzhou. The local area is famous for producing pens, the pen of Huzhou, the ink of Huizhou, the paper of Xuancheng, the inkstone of Zhao Timid Creek, the four treasures of the study, and the world is well-known. There is a Nanxun town in Huzhou Prefecture, although it is a town, it is larger than ordinary state and county, the town is very rich and negative, and there is a family surnamed Zhuang among the famous rich families.

Among them, the rich family of the Zhuang family is named Zhuang Yuncheng, and has several sons, the eldest son is named Tinglong, who has loved poetry and books since childhood~, and has made friends with many famous people and talented people in the south of the Yangtze River. In the Shunzhi period, Zhuang Tinglong was suddenly blind because he was too diligent in reading, and he searched for famous doctors, but he could not be cured, and he was depressed.

Suddenly, one day, a young man surnamed Zhu in the neighborhood brought a manuscript, saying that it was the last manuscript of his grandfather Zhu Xiangguo, and mortgaged it to the banker, asking for hundreds of taels of silver. The dealer has always been generous, and has always taken care of Zhu Xiangguo's descendants, and since he came to ask for a loan, he immediately agreed to it, and he didn't want him to use any posthumous collateral as collateral. But the young man surnamed Zhu said that after borrowing the silver, he was going to go out on a long trip, and this ancestral manuscript was with him, and he was afraid that he would lose it, and he was not at ease at home, so he wanted to store it in the banker's house. Zhuang Yuncheng is in charge. After the young man surnamed Zhu went, Zhuang Yuncheng asked the Qingke at home to read it to him in order to relieve his son's boredom.

Zhu Guozhen's manuscript of the history of the Ming Dynasty, most of which has been published and circulated in the world, this time his grandson brought to the Zhuang family to mortgage, is the last many biographies. Zhuang Tinglong listened to Qingke reading for a few days, and was very interested, and suddenly remembered: "In the past, Zuo Qiu Ming was also a blind person, but he became famous for a thousand years because of a history book "Zuo Chuan". I'm blind and bored today, so why don't I write a history book and pass it on to future generations?"

The rich family, easy to do, he improvised this idea, immediately hired several scholars, from the beginning to the end of the manuscript of the Ming Dynasty where he thought should be increased, where should be deleted, then dictated out, by the guests to record.

But I want to be blind and unable to read the books, this Ming history is revised, if the content is very fallacious, not only the name is difficult to enjoy, but it is ridiculed, so I spent a lot of silver taels, and invited many Tongshi Confucianism, and then revised it, so as to be perfect. Some learned people could not be invited by money, so they turned to the trustee and invited each other.

There have always been many scribes on the shore of Taihu Lake, invited by the banker, one to pity its blindness, feel its sincerity, and secondly, feel that the revision of the history of the Ming Dynasty is a beautiful thing, most of them come to the banker to be a guest for ten days and a half months, or correct the manuscript or its mistakes, or add embellishment, or write one or two texts. Therefore, this history of the Ming Dynasty is indeed a collection of a lot of great efforts.

Soon after the book was written, Zhuang Tinglong died. Zhuang Yuncheng was saddened by the death of his beloved son, and published the book. It was not easy to print a book in the Qing Dynasty, so it was necessary to recruit craftsmen to carve pieces of woodblock plates, and then it was printed into a book. This Ming history volume is huge, carving and printing, and the cost is very huge. Fortunately, the dealer has money, allocated a few big houses as a workshop, invited more craftsmen, and within a few years the book was completed, the book was called "Ming Shu Compilation", the author was named Zhuang Tinglong, and the famous scholar Li Linghui was invited to make a preface.

All the scholars who have helped him are also listed, including Mao Yuanming, Wu Zhiming, Wu Zhirong, Li Qitao, Mao Cilai, Wu Chu, Tang Yuanlou, Yan Yunqi, Jiang Linhui, Wei Jinyou, Wei Yiyuan, Zhang Qi, Dong Erxi, Wu Yan, Pan Shengzhang, etc., a total of 18 people. The book also mentions that this book is based on Zhu's original manuscript additions and deletions, but Zhu Guozhen is the Ming Dynasty Xiangguo, and the name is too big to write his name directly, so it is vaguely only said that it is "Zhu's original manuscript".

The "Ming Book Compilation" has been revised and revised by many literati and scholars, and it is highly praised by Shilin after its publication with its precise style, detailed narration, and elegant writing. The bookmaker is also aiming to become famous, and the price of the book is extremely cheap. When Manchuria was mentioned in the original manuscript, there were many words of criticism and accusation, which had already been deleted by the historians, but the words praising the Ming Dynasty were also inevitable. At that time, Ming had not died for a long time, and the readers cherished their homeland, and as soon as the book was published, it immediately sold well. Zhuang Tinglong's name is famous in the north of the river and the south of the Yangtze River. Although Zhuang Yuncheng had the pain of losing his son, he was comforted to see his son become famous behind him.

It is also a time of troubled times, when the villain is victorious, and the gentleman suffers. The magistrate of Gui'an County, Huzhou, surnamed Wu Mingzhirong, was corrupt and perverted the law in office, and the people hated it, and finally it was denounced, and the court ordered him to be dismissed. Wu Zhirong did not entangle and visited Zhuang Yuncheng. Zhuang Yuncheng usually befriended Qingliu celebrities, and looked down on this corrupt official, seeing him come to seek, he sneered, sealed a tael of silver to him, and said: "According to the person who left it, these two silver should not have been sent, but the people of Huzhou hope that it is good for Your Excellency to go a moment earlier, and it is good to go a little earlier with a tael of silver." Wu Zhirong was furious, and when he returned to the inn, he found that there was a book on the table, and he wanted to read the book to dissipate his anger.

At the moment, I turned on the oil lamp, flipped through the book and recited, and read that in the forty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the Later Jin Taizu Nuer Hachi ascended the throne, the country name Jin, and Jianyuan's "Mandate of Heaven" suddenly felt a chill in my heart: "My Taizu Yu Bingchen Jianyuan, from this year on, should not use the Ming Dynasty Wanli year number, should use the first year of the Dajin Mandate of Heaven." Reading all the way, I saw that Jin Taizong ascended the throne after Ding Mao, and the book still used "seven years of tomorrow's enlightenment", not "the first year of Dajin Tiancong". After the year of Bingzi, Jin changed the name of the country to Qing, changed the Yuan Chongde, this book is still "Chongzhen nine years", not the book "the first year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty", and the book of Jiashen year is "Chongzhen seventeen years" and does not write "the first year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty". After entering the customs, the book is written in the year of Yixi as "the first year of Longwu", and the book of Dinghai is "Yongli Yongli", that Longwu, Yongli, is the name of the Tang King of the Ming Dynasty and the King of Gui, and the person who wrote the book clearly still serves the Ming Dynasty Zhengshuo, and does not put the Qing Dynasty in his eyes. When he saw this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Isn't this a talent given to me by God? After that, he came to the capital to expose to Ao Bai that the people surnamed Zhuang in Zhejiang had written books to plot rebellion, and they were rebellious, and Zhejiang officials took bribes and ignored them. When Ao Bai learned about it, he immediately investigated and did it vigorously. ordered his Han people to read the original history of the Ming Dynasty presented by Wu Zhirong, and what he said was true. After grasping the power, he wanted to handle several major cases to deter people's hearts, which not only made the Han people dare not raise the idea of rebellion, but also made the enemy party in the DPRK and China dare not make any edicts, and immediately sent a messenger to Zhejiang to investigate.

This time, although the whole family of the Zhuang family was arrested in Beijing, even all officials of all sizes below the general of Hangzhou Song Kui and the governor of Zhejiang, Zhu Changqi, were also dismissed and investigated. The literary scholars listed in the history of the Ming Dynasty were all imprisoned.

Just as the three scribes were talking. Suddenly, there was a voice outside. Haha laughed and said, "Brothers, let's all enter the cabin, this time our forward battalion has made a great contribution." Several people agreed in unison, and four people came in, all dressed as boatmen, and laughed together.

The three scribes were so shocked that they drank freely and did not take the four of them to heart. I saw Xiaoyao pick up a few wooden sticks and throw them lightly, and my sister's wooden sticks passed through the bodies of the four people like lightning. The four men opened their mouths without making any sound and fell to the ground and died.

Xiaoyao quickly kicked them into the water. Finding that it was not too far from the shore, he took up his light work and trodden away.
