Chapter 56: Burning Books and Burying Confucians

Jixian Gate is the main gate of the Imperial College. There are well pavilions on the east and west sides of the courtyard inside the gate. The Chijing Gate on the east side is connected to the Confucius Temple. [] Because Jixian Gate is the main entry and exit gate of the Imperial College, it is also called Longmen, which means

Scholars who entered the Imperial Academy had the idea of ​​leaping over the dragon gate.

Normally, people would go in and out of Jixian Gate, and scholars would bustle in, chatting and laughing. Today, it was a scene of solemn killing. Except for the soldier standing with a spear, no one was seen anymore. It was completely empty, allowing people to steal from a distance.

The common people were a little confused and confused. They didn't understand what was going on today. Why were all the prison guards missing? But the common people with sharp ears still vaguely heard the crying coming from the Imperial College.

There were wailing sounds. The common people did not dare to ask any questions about these seeming cries. They could only hide quietly behind the door and discuss in a low voice. If the sound got louder without realizing it, the people next to them would

He would give him a tug on his horse and point to the door. Without saying anything, the person who spoke loudly would immediately become silent.

The common people know that misfortune comes from the mouth. Now people are being arrested everywhere in the city. Although they are arresting either bannermen or high-ranking Han officials, who can guarantee that Guan Ning's army will not attack ordinary people? Although the street

There are a lot of notices posted above, but the emperor has lived under his feet for a long time, and no one has a more foresight. They always have to wait until the situation is completely settled before they dare to return to the original state. If they hit the knife edge now, it would be like carrying a lantern in the middle of the night.

It's hard to find shit in the toilet.

Didn’t Huang Zhen die just outside the Pass, or was the Qing Dynasty occupied by others?

No one in the city knows, and no one can tell what happened yesterday. If the emperor died outside the pass and the prince ascended the throne, then the country is still the Qing Dynasty, but the Guan Ning army massacred the city.

What did the banner man say yesterday? But if you want to say that the Qing Dynasty is over, that is obviously wrong, because the notice of Guan Ningjun clearly states that it is the first year of Xuantong, and the person sitting in the Jinluan Hall is still named Aixinjueluo.

, it’s just that there is an extra emperor, a regent, and a regent. The Qing Dynasty is still the Qing Dynasty. Hey, what the hell is this?

Weird things, strange things that have never happened before in the history, the country has not heard of it for decades. It was not so strange when Dorgon was the regent.

The cry came from the Taixue Gate in the prison. Following the cry, you can reach the open space in front of the Taixue Gate. There are densely packed kneeling scholars, numbering in the hundreds. The scholars are like

They were in agony as if they were bereaved, and some excited people would bang their heads against a pillar or wall on one side from time to time. In short, the crowd was very excited and angry now, so they just had to perform a "Blood Splattered on the Imperial College" scene on the spot.

, a scene of loyalty and martyrdom to protect the Qing Dynasty with death.

In sharp contrast to these excited scholars and supervisors, around them, the soldiers of the Guan Ning Army were full of sneers, looking at them like they were having fun, and occasionally shouting and cursing at them.

For these barbarians, the scholars dared not speak out in anger. Even those who laughed fiercely would raise their heads and look at them angrily. However, when they saw that the other party's face changed and he was about to draw a knife, they did not have the courage to do so.

Come, and soon languish again. When a scholar encounters a soldier, he can't explain why. What's the point of arguing with these rough guys who don't know the master of heaven and earth? It's more important to find the right master. Nothing can be said today to agree to his traitorous traitor!

Under the Taixue Gate, there was a big chair, and there was a person sitting on the chair, the emperor's father and the regent Zhao Qiang.

At this time, facing these hundreds of scholars and supervisors who were like a crying temple, Zhao Qiang was furious, his face was ashen, his cheeks were shaking faintly, and his breathing was very loud. Yuan Shijie, Zhang Yu and others could hear it. It was terrifying.

Full of confidence, he came to the Imperial College excitedly and prepared to ask these scholars to complete the theoretical compilation project of purging Manchuria for him. Unexpectedly, these scholars came out with hundreds of thousands of volumes of various theories that had been compiled since the Shunzhi period. , claimed to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but were unwilling to make up some purge story for Zhao Qiang. In the end, under the leadership of several righteous supervisors, they collectively knelt in front of the Taixue sect and cried loudly. If they hadn't been stopped, Hurry, I'm afraid I've rushed to the Confucius Temple by now.

If these hundreds of scholars were asked to go to the Confucius Temple to cry, the nature of this would be serious. Zhao Qiang would not dare to openly oppose the scholars all over the world. If the scholars were allowed to go to the Confucius Temple, it would be harmful to Guan Ning's army in the future. The Southern Expedition is unfavorable. By then, I am afraid that all the landowners in the world will be against Guan Ning's army. How long will this battle end?

Didn’t you see that the vigorous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was defeated by the Han ethnic class and scholars, so Confucianism must be valued and respected, at least for now, otherwise people’s hearts will turn against it.

But the hundreds of readers in front of him were fighting with him as if they were fed by gunpowder, and kept saying that they were traitors and rebels. This was difficult for Zhao Qiang to accept. He didn't know what was going on in the minds of these scholars. Could they be You are all stupid. Before you left Beijing, your surname was no longer Aisin Gioro?

What the hell did the Qing Dynasty feed you to make you so loyal? Have you forgotten that you are Han people, not Manchus?

It's just that the scholars don't submit to themselves and oppose themselves. It can be said that they take the lead and kill them with a knife. This reader has a common problem. He yells fiercely, but if he really wants to taste something powerful, he can't just kill him with one blow. However, they should never point out the ones that were repaired by the Qing Dynasty. Those that had been changed to a mess and were full of nonsense made Zhao Qiang even more angry.

Well, in order to get readers all over the world to make a collective turn, the first thing to do is not to engage in purge theory first, but to eliminate the poison that the Literary Inquisition has brought to Han intellectuals.

To reform, we must immediately destroy the batch of Qing repairs. Well, this is a big matter. We need to find a breakthrough. Where can we break through?

"History of the Ming Dynasty"?!

With his eyes lit up, Zhao Qiang thought of the best way to break through. It was precisely because of several large-scale word prisons that occurred in the history of the Ming Dynasty, which broke the backbone of Han readers in one fell swoop.

Wherever you are thrown down, rise up from there!

This is it, History of the Ming Dynasty, I want to rewrite "History of the Ming Dynasty"!



In the first year of Shunzhi, the Manchu Qing Dynasty established a historical museum to compile the "History of the Ming Dynasty" to show that the Ming Dynasty was dead, deny the legitimacy of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and win over the Ming Dynasty elders and Han ministers who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. However, due to the unstable political situation at that time, the South The struggle against the Qing Dynasty was in full swing, so the actual compilation work was only in the preparatory stage and had not been fully launched. It was not until the seventeenth year of Kangxi that the conditions for compilation of history seemed to be mature, and Kangxi issued an order to fully launch the compilation work of "History of the Ming Dynasty".

But around the history of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many great prisons. From the Zhuang Ting Long Ming History Case, Dai Mingshi and other Ming History Cases, the Manchu and Qing rulers were extremely sensitive to the "Ming History"! They were afraid that their dynasty would be compared to the glorious Ming Dynasty. , fearing that the Han people would miss the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and fearing that the Manchu emperors would be upstaged by the Ming Dynasty emperors, they adopted the method of forcibly revising history according to the will of the rulers to vilify the previous dynasty. As a result, the system was advanced and the thoughts were free. The Ming Dynasty, which had an open society, a developed economy, a prosperous culture, a prosperous people's livelihood, a monarch who was good at "governing for the sake of doing things", and scientific and technological undertakings that were on the verge of breaking through, with the emergence of capitalism and vigorous development, was smeared and demonized by the Manchu rulers to an unprecedented degree. However, the Qing Dynasty, which closed itself off to the country, restricted its thoughts, stagnated its economy, suffered a decline in people's livelihood, became increasingly backward, lost power and humiliated the country in the Western world, could still boast of itself as the so-called "Kangxi and Qianlong Era".

Little did they know that the country that had always been ahead of the world, since the Manchus entered the country to rule China, the country's historic setback has shrouded this ancient land that has been glorious for thousands of years like a huge disaster.

We must return truth and justice to the Ming Dynasty! In order for the Han people to rekindle their national self-confidence, only by correctly understanding and evaluating the history and historical figures of their own nation can the national soul that has been distorted and castrated by the Manchus for a long time be corrected.

Maximize the strength and wisdom of a nation

Zhao Qiang has always been full of doubts about the Qing Dynasty's revision of "History of the Ming Dynasty". For example, the incident of Yuan Chonghuan being killed by Huang Taiji in a counter-intentional plot was completely inconsistent with the original archives of the Ming Dynasty. It was inevitably suspected of being isolated evidence and fabrication. The theory of Yuan Chonghuan's "anti-intentional plot"

In the decades before this theory came into being, there was no circumstantial evidence, and the charges for executing Yuan Chonghuan in the Ming Dynasty were listed in detail, and there was no mention of "counterintuitive tactics." Therefore, the possibility of forgery in the Qing Dynasty's "History of the Ming Dynasty" is very high

, and it is also consistent with their consistent attitude towards the history of the Ming Dynasty, especially the bloody "Prison Prison" that followed, which is rare in history. Who can believe that such a hypocritical tyrannical ideology can be impartial?

There were three versions of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" during the Kangxi period. Wuyingdian's "Manuscript of the History of the Ming Dynasty" was a mixture of the efforts and thoughts of Wan Sitong, Wang Hongxu, and Zhang Tingyu. These three people actually presided over the compilation of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" one after another.

, and completed their respective versions. However, the first edition of the "Manuscript of the History of the Ming Dynasty" approved by Wan Sitong is obviously the most valuable, and the "Manuscript of the History of the Ming Dynasty" published by Wang Hongxu was stolen from the "Manuscript of the History of the Ming Dynasty" published by Wan Sitong and has great value.

In terms of deletions, Zhang Tingyu's version of the "Manuscript of the History of the Ming Dynasty" was based on the previous two editions and was revised and deleted in accordance with the wishes of the Manchu emperor.

This shows that the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was finalized by the Manchu emperor from beginning to end, and several rulers of the Qing Dynasty paid an absurd amount of attention to the compilation of the "History of the Ming Dynasty"! Every time a part of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was completed, Kangxi, Yongzheng, etc.

Qianlong did not review it carefully, and even put forward his own "suggestions" on every detail he was "concerned about" no matter how big or small, and asked the writer to modify it.

It only took Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, more than two years to compile the "History of the Yuan Dynasty", and the Yuan Dynasty to compile the "History of the Song Dynasty" only more than two years. Only in the Manchu and Qing dynasties, it took several generations of emperors nearly a hundred years to compile a "History of the Ming Dynasty"

, this is evident from the depth of their calculations. Therefore, it is now widely circulated that the Ming Dynasty that the Han people know is actually the Ming Dynasty that was demonized to a certain extent by the Manchu Qing Dynasty for the political purposes of the Qing emperor.

It is very different from the historical truth!

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty never interfered with the work of historians in compiling the history of the dynasty. This was one of the most precious traditions of the ancient country. However, it was a pity that Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty who launched the Xuanwumen Mutiny in the Tang Dynasty, interfered with the work of historians.

From the moment they independently wrote history, this fine tradition was destroyed. The fact that the Manchu rulers deprived historians of their independence in their work reached its culmination.

It took several generations of scholars nearly a hundred years to compile the "History of the Ming Dynasty" in the Qing Dynasty, which can be said to have basically preserved the historical facts of the Ming Dynasty. However, under the orders of the emperors of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, it underwent strict additions, deletions, political review, and tampering, and to a certain extent, it successfully distorted and vilified it.

The true image of the Ming Dynasty, and burned a large number of original historical materials of the Ming Dynasty after the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was finalized. After the Qing Dynasty compiled the "History of the Ming Dynasty", the archival historical materials on which it was based were often discarded or even burned. In this way, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had no understanding of the Ming Dynasty.

The first-hand evidence of refutation is lost by demonizing him, which clearly shows how dirty Qianlong was.

In the Qing Dynasty, the case of "History of Ming Dynasty" was first initiated and those who revised "History of Ming Dynasty" privately were killed. Later, the official revision of "History of Ming Dynasty" began. Therefore, there must be a big difference between the private revision of "History of Ming Dynasty" and the official revision of "History of Ming Dynasty". Zhao Qiang's later generations

I once encountered a strange thing. A private review of "History of the Ming Dynasty" believed that the person responsible for the death of Nurhachi's father and ancestor was Nikan Wailan. Nurhachi himself probably thought so too. His Thirteen Paintings raised troops to fight against Nikan Wailan at the beginning.

, it was only a long time later that he came up with the "Seven Great Hatreds" when he was fully fledged, and the following six hatreds were mostly due to jealousy with Ye He's tribe in the Ming Dynasty. If this first hatred is really tenable, it will be useful.

Is it because of this irrelevant jealousy behind?

However, the official revision of "History of the Ming Dynasty" was done by the Kangxi Dynasty, while the large-scale deletion and deletion of ancient antiquities was done by the Qianlong Dynasty. When the Qianlong Dynasty was deleting, deleting, and banning ancient antiquities on a large scale, it also banned his father's "Dayi Jue Mi Lu". This also shows that the same

The word prison is the difference between Qianlong and Yongzheng. Qianlong was cunning, while Yongzheng was arrogant.

As for the Kangxi Dynasty, it was between Qianlong and Yongzheng, and it was more scheming. In the Kangxi Dynasty's official "History of the Ming Dynasty", there should be very few direct fabrications and deletions, but it is very possible to select materials conditionally. In this way, the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was compiled.

"History of the Ming Dynasty", the material should be basically correct, but it may be like Yongzheng's "Dayi Jue Mi Lu", the material is credible, but the result is obviously beneficial to oneself.

Therefore, when the official "History of the Ming Dynasty" was compiled, it was mentioned that the territory of the Ming Dynasty was still "extremely vast, reaching far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and its success and great success were outstanding." It was not only three million square kilometers as later generations said.

"This is also my Qing Dynasty's dowry, and that is also my Qing Dynasty's dowry!", full of nonsense!

The Ming Dynasty was still a political system in which the political system and the Taoist system were separated. Although the prime minister was abolished, the power of refutation was still in the hands of the ministers. Social speech was more controlled by the ministers, and there was less enslavement of readers. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the ministers fought against the emperor.

There are many people who flatter the emperor, but there are only a few who flatter the emperor. By the late Ming Dynasty, it almost became a fashion to scold the emperor, and there would always be a post pointing out the emperor's major crimes.

In the court, it was hard to find people trying to flatter the emperor in the Ming Dynasty. Even if one or two wanted to do this, they would be accused of being "fascinating", "quick-tongued" and "a villain".

.They may not do this because of their high moral standards, but because of the trend, if they flatter the emperor and receive a pitiful salary, it is better to have a good relationship with other ministers and have a good reputation.

In fact, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the minister who suggested that the prince travel to the south later died for his country, but the gentlemen who called others scoundrels surrendered one after another. The trend was coming, and nothing could stop it. During the Jiajing Dynasty's grand ceremony, two ministers who supported the emperor,

He was almost beaten to death by the ministers at Zuoshunmen. Later, the ministers asked the emperor to kill these two "favoring" ministers. They cried loudly and tried to persuade them. Finally, they attracted the imperial staff. Of course, in the end, both sides suffered losses, as the ministers

It hurt his butt, and the emperor's "faint emperor" hat could not be escaped in history, and his wish was not fulfilled. Later, in view of this, Wanli wanted to make his favorite son the prince, but he couldn't get it, so he simply went on strike.

This was the case in the DPRK, and it was similar among the people. In the Ming Dynasty, people slandered the government and made comments on the first day of the month. Most of them praised the character of the ministers and attacked the emperor. Fang Xiaoru of the Zhu Yuanzhang Dynasty had already said, "If the establishment of a king benefits the people, then

What can I do with you!", and finally developed into "not a king", "Everyone who has been an emperor since the Qin Dynasty is a thief", "The women of the world have been separated for my own pleasure."

In this context, one can imagine what the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty looked like under the pen of intellectuals who had the power to compile history. Almost all the wise kings of the Ming Dynasty "listened to the words of their ministers"

Emperor. Even Zhu Chongba, the founding emperor, was not much better in human writing.

Therefore, when the officials of the Qing Dynasty compiled the "History of the Ming Dynasty", there was no need to fabricate or spread rumors. They only needed to summarize the essence of these historical materials and select the essentials. The more important point is that almost all those who participated in the compilation of the History of the Ming Dynasty in the early Qing Dynasty

He was a surrendered minister in the Ming Dynasty and a member of the Donglin Party. In the first year of Shunzhi, he was the one who presided over the compilation of "History of the Ming Dynasty". It was Feng Quan who proposed "leave your hair without leaving hair, leave your head without leaving hair"! The historical materials compiled by such a person are authentic.

It can be seen that it is normal.

Kangxi knew his own system and inherited a lot of benefits from the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, so he said "ruling the Tang and Song Dynasties". He also knew that if he did not have the ancestors of his own territory, it would be difficult for him to conquer them one by one, so he has "a vast territory"

, far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties." But since the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty have few good words for these emperors, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he naturally had no intention or obligation to rectify the origins, let alone verify the words that were used to criticize the emperor.

It's an exaggeration, and it's just a lie. In a sense, it's a bit undesirable.

Therefore, this "History of the Ming Dynasty" is too fake and must be revised immediately without delay!

People often say that the revision of the history of the previous dynasties can only be carried out after the stability of the dynasty. Now Zhao Qiang has only occupied a city of Beijing, but he has to carry out such a big project as the revision of history. It doesn’t matter whether he is hot-headed or too impatient, but he

I have made up my mind to repair it.

But compiling history is not something he can just do as he says. Someone has to help him do it. Where do people come from? Can you rely on the scholars in front of you, or the group of Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy?

Why is he thinking so much? The knife is in my hand, I want to repair it, but no one can do it for me!

Hum, but before I start repairing, I have to do something to let readers in Beijing know what the consequences of disobedience will be!

Suddenly, an idea came to Zhao Qiang's mind that made him shudder, that is, whether he should imitate Qin Shihuang and burn Confucian scholars.

Burning Confucians?

A blessing or a curse? Do the pros outweigh the cons or do the cons outweigh the pros?

We don’t know the blessings or misfortunes, but there is one thing that Zhao Qiang knows, that is, the Manchus can kill people, ban and destroy hundreds, and guard against the people, but they don’t see the country being destroyed, so what do they have to fear!

Damn it, starting from the city of Beijing, burn all the Qing Dynasty repairmen from the Shunzhi period to the present, regardless of history or whatever, and then trap all these hundreds of bastards!

He was trapped in the Imperial Academy, he was trapped in the Taixue sect!

Crazy, Zhao Qiang went crazy. Looking at the various scholars and listening to the howling that shook the courtyard, he slowly stood up with a weird smile on his face. He turned to stare at Yuan Shijie and uttered a few words: "Since

If they don't want to be used by me, I won't be able to keep them. Is Master Yuan's Imperial Academy a treasure land for Feng Shui?"
