It is said that when a fire broke out in Jiangyun Library, Qian Qianyi directed the flames and shouted: "Heaven can burn the books in my house, but not the books in my belly."
Afterwards, he said sadly: "The chaos of Jiashen will cause a great disaster for ancient and modern books and history books. The fire of Gengyin in my family will cause a small disaster for the books and history books of Jiangzuo."
The fire in Jiangyun Tower was very famous, so it was widely circulated, but now it seems that the fire may have been caused intentionally by Qian Qianyi.
Because he clearly said that the Nine Kingdoms Chronicles was burned in that fire, but now the Nine Kingdoms Chronicles with the seal of Qian Qianyi's collection is in Han Peacock's backpack.
From this it can also be proved that the fire was just a trick played by Qian Qianyi to move a large collection of books.
After reading this letter, Gao Dashan and others naturally figured this out, but what they couldn't figure out was where the collection of books here had gone.
Seeing Gao Dashan's doubts, Han Kongque said: "The collection of books here should have been obtained by the Taoist priests of Zhenshui Temple, but Zhenshui Temple was destroyed by Japanese artillery fire during the Anti-Japanese War.
Therefore, part of the collection of books was destroyed in the war, and the remaining part was divided among the villagers of Qianjiajiao.
If those books had been hidden here for a long time, it was nothing, but when they came out, it was even more disasterous. Because the villagers didn't know the importance of those ancient books, some of them were destroyed.
Fortunately, an old man in the village loved books, so he collected some of them, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, some of them were destroyed, and perhaps the only one that remains today is the Chronicle of the Nine Kingdoms."
"Nine Kingdoms Chronicles? The Nine Kingdoms Chronicles by Lu Zhen that Qian Qianyi collected?" Gao Dashan said.
Han Kongque said: "Yes. That's the one. This morning I appraised some antiquities for the villagers in the village, and Chronicles of the Nine Kingdoms was one of them. At that time, because of the Qian Qianyi seal on it, I suspected that it was a high imitation, but
Because it was a forty-nine-volume edition, I paid a high price to buy it. I didn’t expect it to be the real Nine Kingdoms Chronicles by Lu Zhen collected by Qian Qianyi.”
"What about the other books? Qian Qianyi was a great book collector in the late Ming Dynasty. If he wanted to transfer the books, there would be at least tens of thousands of them. Wouldn't they all be destroyed?" Gao Dashan said a little unacceptable.
Han Kongque said: "You have to ask Village Chief Qian. Even if some of them are preserved, they can only be in the hands of the villagers in Qianjiajiao."
The villagers in Qianjiajiao in the tomb all looked at each other. Not to mention ancient books, even children's books were sold as junk. It can't be said that there are no scraps of paper in the family, but there are absolutely no rare ancient books.
.
"You are not working together to deceive us, are you? Qian Qianyi will have a tomb buried here? Do you think we are all fools?" said an old man who came with Gao Dashan.
Jiang Lin also said coolly at this time: "I took history as an elective in college, and Qian Qianyi is a true traitor. What danger will he encounter? Why don't you set up a tomb here? Are you sure that the Qian family here is Qian Qianyi?"
Descendants of Yi?"
Han Kongque said indifferently: "As long as this letter is true, it is possible, but if you are not a descendant of Qian Qianyi, what does it matter? Anyway, there is nothing in this tomb now."
"I must have been hidden by you, and everything I'm doing now is just acting, right?" said the same old man.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "You don't have to come to me. No matter how many things there are here, they don't belong to me and they can't fall into my hands. Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with me."
"We will apply for a comprehensive archaeological excavation here when we go out. I hope you can cooperate." Gao Dashan said.
Han Kongque said: "Archaeological excavation? What are you here to excavate? There is nothing here. If Village Chief Qian is willing, you can carry this sarcophagus out. As long as it does not delay the construction of my water plant, you will do the archeology and excavation.
I'm fine."
At this time, an old man who had been silent stood up from the side of the sarcophagus and said: "We really need to study this sarcophagus. The history of this sarcophagus must be more than five hundred years, so it was either made in the late Yuan Dynasty or the early Ming Dynasty."
Just looking at the sarcophagus, it has nothing to do with Qian Qianyi."
"Mr. Han, is this letter a fake? Our ancestor is really not Qian Qianyi?" Qian Zhongshu actually started to ask Han Kongque.
Han Kongque said: "I can only say that the first owner of the tomb was definitely not Qian Qianyi. As for how Qian Qianyi came here to create a tomb, I don't know."
Qian Zhongshu said: "Is it possible for Qian Qianyi to set up a tomb here? And the Chronicle of the Nine Kingdoms, is it Qian Qianyi's collection of books?"
Han Kongque said: "If we can find another book recorded in Qian Qianyi's collection that was burned in the Jiangyun Tower fire, it will prove that this is really Qian Qianyi's tomb."
"The fire at Jiangyun Tower is indeed true, but the question is why Qian Qianyi went to so much trouble to hide the book here. You must know that he surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Kaicheng and became a high official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
"Jiang Lindao.
Han Kongque looked at him and said, "Are you really just watching the excitement and not afraid of trouble? Are you making trouble?"
"Anyway, the benefits will not fall into my hands. I just watch the excitement and am not afraid of big troubles? However, I am also really curious! A traitor who is the first to take the lead in shaving his hair, what is he afraid of? Will the Manchus still copy
His home? So he deliberately moved his collection of books here, why?" Jiang Lin said.
Han Kongque said: "You are wronging Qian Qianyi by saying this. Qian Qianyi is a very controversial figure in history, but calling him a traitor is a bit too much."
Jiang Lindao: "Passed?" When the army approached the city, Liu Rushi persuaded Qian to join him in drowning himself in the country. Qian was silent for a moment, and finally said: The water is too cold to enter. Liu Rushi tried to sink into the pond, but Qian Qianyi pulled him.
Finally, Qian Qianyi led the ministers to open the city to welcome Duduo in the pouring rain.
If you say Liu Rushi is a good person, then we have nothing to say, but when it comes to Qian Qianyi, this person is really a traitor.
Although I am not good at studying history, Qian Qianyi still knows about it. Qian Qianyi refused to commit suicide by drowning himself in the lake because the water was cold, so Liu Rushi had no choice but to give in and said: "I live in seclusion in the world and I don't know what to do."
The court can be regarded as worthy of the old dynasty.
Qian Qianyi only agreed. After a while, when Qian Qianyi came back from outside, Liu Rushi discovered that he had shaved off his forehead and braided the hair on the back of his head. Isn't this an act of surrender?
Liu Rushi was so angry that he couldn't speak, but Qian Qianyi slapped his bare forehead and said mockingly: Isn't this very comfortable?
In fact, Qian Qianyi not only shaved his head, but he had already agreed to the Qing court's intention to call him to Beijing as an official, and he did become an official in the Qing court later. Can't such a person be called a traitor?"
Han Kongque said: "What you said is true, but Qian Qianyi is a very complicated historical figure. He was both a feudal scholar-bureaucrat and an academic uncle. He was the first to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and he also placed his hope in the promising small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Although he admired the fame and glory of being an official, he was unwilling to give up his academic status as the leader of the Jiangzuo League. He had a rich collection of books in the Southeast, but he could not carefully compile a catalog of books that matched his collection.
He not only admired Confucianism and hundreds of schools of classics and history, but also devoted himself to poetry and even Buddhism. All of these are intertwined in Qian Qianyi, making him a historical figure that is very difficult to study and grasp.
We will not comment on the previous merits and demerits. The most important thing is that later Qian Qianyi was a staunch anti-Qing strategist. If you don’t know that Qian Qianyi was anti-Qing, then do you know about Gu Yanwu? Plus Lu Liuliang, Huang Zongxi and others
People admire Qian Qianyi very much, would they admire a traitor?"
On the day when Nanjing was destroyed, Qian Qianyi's wife Liu Rushi persuaded him to commit suicide and die for his country "in order to increase his reputation." He was over sixty years old, maybe he was really old, and when he touched the lake water, he felt it was too cold and did not dare to jump in.
If you don't dare to die well, you have to live. With the same ambiguous mentality as when he flattered Ruan Dacheng before, he raised his hands to the Qing Dynasty and offered his loyalty.
Many ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty have died. Among those who survived in terms of seniority and seniority, Qian Qianyi is the most important.
The Qing government took a fancy to this and issued an edict in the first month of the third year of Shunzhi (1646) to appoint him as the Minister of Rites, in charge of the affairs of the Secretariat, and concurrently as the Vice President of "History of the Ming Dynasty".
While serving in the central government of the Qing Dynasty, Qian Qianyi witnessed the murderous nature of the Manchus and the willingness of countless Han people to die rather than surrender. Coupled with the constant humiliation and ridicule of others, Qian Qianyi had very little left in his heart.
My conscience begins to awaken.
In June of that year, he claimed to be ill and went home, secretly joining the torrent of rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.
For example, in the winter of the third year of Shunzhi, my friend Huang Yuqi rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and was in urgent need of money and food. I hope he can donate generously.
Qian Qianyi immediately complied with the request without saying a word. Unexpectedly, the matter was revealed and Qian Qianyi was arrested and imprisoned.
After being released from prison, he was "unyielding in his desire to be a thief". Starting from the seventh year of Shunzhi, he took many risks and rushed to Jinhua to instigate rebellion and seize treasure. During this period, he was imprisoned many times, but he never changed his ambition.
In addition to actions, he also used his pen to criticize the Manchus, calling them "slaves", "captives", "bastards", etc., vigorously praising the heroic deeds of the anti-Qing patriots, and contrasting with the former Qian Qian who was greedy for life and fearful of death.
It's like two different people.
This phenomenon seems difficult to understand, but in fact it can be summed up in two words - nature.
Just like Qian Qianyi betrayed the Donglin Party and his own beliefs, what he always pursues is nothing more than a kind of spiritual comfort and balance.
At the beginning, he entered the officialdom with integrity in order to realize his ideals in life and achieve a career in rejuvenating the country. For this, he waited hard for more than 30 years. At the last moment, in order to give an explanation for his life, he gave up.
For the bottom line of being a human being, he took refuge in the traitorous party.
But Qian Qianyi was a scholar at heart, and his blood always flowed with the integrity and nobility of a scholar. When he became prime minister and satisfied his vanity, his conscience began to feel extremely empty.
He could not turn a deaf ear to the accusations from his fellow villagers and the contempt of the world. Therefore, in his later years, even though he knew there was a risk of beheading, he still fought hard, which not only comforted his conscience to some extent, but also won the forgiveness of Lu Liuliang, Huang Zongxi and others.
In 1664 AD, Qian Qianyi died of illness in his hometown. He left behind many works such as "The Collection of Chuxue" and "The Collection of Youxue". He was respected as the "Master of Articles" by Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu and others. After all, Qian Qianyi was the best at
He was still engaged in scholarship, but all his works were banned and destroyed in the Qing Dynasty.
When modern people mention Qian Qianyi, they often think of him as a cunning old man who is afraid of death and flatters his enemies. But that is not real history. In real history, Qian Qianyi just made one mistake.
Therefore, Han Kongque really believed that Qian Qianyi would leave a way out for himself by transferring one of his sons to Qianjiajiao, and he also really knew that Qian Zhongshu did not collude with him to be able to stay here
The discovery of Qian Qianyi's suicide note is enough to explain the problem.
Duhan Peacock explained Qian Qianyi's life clearly, and Jiang Lin was dumbfounded.
"You really don't know much about history. You only drink less than half of the bottle. You don't doubt Qian Qianyi's character when you see no one else. Is that what you're talking about? I'm so uneducated."
Han Peacock deliberately satirized Jiang Lindao.
Jiang Lin became angry and said: "You, an illiterate who has never graduated from middle school, dare to look down on me, an authentic college graduate? Who knows whether what you said is true or false?"
"If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Gao, he will definitely know." Han Peacock said with a smile.
When Gao Dashan nodded, Jiang Lin said: "Is this really a retreat left by Qian Qianyi? Why don't you take out the Chronicles of the Nine Kingdoms and let's study it together. If that is really the book where Qian Qianyi was burned
Collection of books, maybe I believe this is Qian Qianyi’s tomb.”
Han Kongque said disdainfully: "What's the use of you believing it? Even if you all don't believe it, what's the use? There is nothing here, and there is no use arguing about this."
"Okay, let's go out and talk. This place is not safe and there is a danger of landslides at any time." At this time, Li Xin said.
"Land-in?" Jiang Lin glanced at the surrounding stone walls and said, "How could this place collapse?"
Li Xin said: "Everything down there has been evacuated. Just look at the ground and you will know."
Jiang Lin shined his flashlight on the ground. There was some unevenness on the ground, but there was nothing different about it.
Li Xin knew at a glance that these people had found nothing unusual, so he went on to explain: "There are many faults and cracks on the ground. Originally, the ground should be very flat, but now it has become uneven. After all,
The cause should be cracks and faults."
Han Kongque didn't have much, so he turned around and walked out. Since there is no value here and it is so dangerous, anyone who stays here is a fool.
After walking out of the darkroom, Gao Dashan was still a little unwilling to give up: "Xiao Han, take out your Nine Kingdoms Chronicles and let's take a look and see if it belongs to Qian Qianyi's collection."
"Don't you believe that Qian Qianyi would erect a tomb here?" Han Kongque said.
"Look, we have no loss, and you have no loss either. Don't be stingy. After all, we old guys still have a good vision. We can just help you make up for your shortcomings." Gao Dashan said.
Han Peacock didn't care about himself. He carefully took out the Chronicles of the Nine Kingdoms and placed it on the table where the workers were drinking tea during their break.
Several old men who were obviously hired by Jiang Lin started studying the Chronicle of the Nine Kingdoms together.
In fact, Han Kongque has now determined that this is the Chronicle of the Nine Kingdoms collected by Qian Qianyi. In addition to proving that Qian Qianyi transferred the batch of Jiangyunlou ancient books, there is also the seal of Qian Qianyi's collection and the Chronicle of the Nine Kingdoms.
itself.
Lu Zhen's "Nine Kingdoms" is an overall history book about the nine southern countries in the Five Dynasties. The Song version of Lu Zhen's "Nine Kingdoms" has 38 aristocratic families and 136 biographies. It was probably compiled by Lu Zhen during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty. Only those who conform to these
Only those with certain conditions can be regarded as the real Song version. Some of the later transcriptions or the compiled Chronicles of the Nine Kingdoms are incomplete.
"Even if we have this Qian Qianyi collection, it doesn't prove that the Jiangyun Tower collection was moved here." The same old man was still holding his neck, not wanting to admit that the ancient tombs here belonged to the ancestors of the Qian family.
"That's true. It would be great if we could find another book in Jiangyun Tower. One book might be an accident. If there are two books, it can only be transferred out intentionally." Gao Dashan also said.
"What's the use of studying this now? Anyway, the transfer has not been carried out, and these secretaries have been destroyed. Also, even if this ancient tomb does not belong to the ancestors of the Qian family, what can you get?" Han Kongque said with a smile.
"You kid, please don't stand and talk without feeling pain in your back. If there really is a collection of Qian Qianyi's books here, we should collect them and sort them out. If there are any hidden gems left in the ocean, if we don't protect them, it's very likely that they will be destroyed.
It’s been lost.” Jiang Lin said.
Han Kongque said: "You don't have to do this kind of good thing. I have already scanned it this morning. If there is any good stuff, it won't be your turn."
"Why am I always one step behind you in everything I do lately? Your luck is so good." Jiang Lin said a little depressed.
Han Peacock said disdainfully: "I just realized now that you are the most useless kid. Tell me, have you been sending people to keep an eye on me recently? I just had some trouble here, and you came here."
Jiang Lindao: "Don't think that I'm so nasty. I didn't send people to keep an eye on you, but I just sent people to keep an eye on this place. Unexpectedly, I just delayed a little something, and you took away all the benefits."
Already."
"This means good people are rewarded." Han Peacock said proudly.
Jiang Lin said contemptuously: "Just you? Are you a good person? How many people do you think you have tricked?"
Han Kongque said: "Then tell me, who have I tricked?"
Jiang Lin was speechless for a moment, and Han Kongque said, "You have nothing to say, right?"
"I really don't believe it anymore. Since good people are rewarded, and you are a good person, then you can give me a reward. If God repays you now, I will immediately take off my clothes and run naked from here back to the Magic City.
"Jiang Lin finally became angry again and began to speak indiscriminately.
Before Han Peacock could speak, a familiar voice came from outside: "Mr. Han is here? Mr. Han, I've been looking for you for a long time."
Han Kongque took a look and saw that it was the money girl. When he saw her, Han Kongque felt a little guilty. Three million for a set of medical books was fair, but he obviously missed the Song version of the Nine Kingdoms Chronicles for two million.
.
"Sister-in-law, what do you want from me?" Han Kongque, who was still feeling guilty, immediately became excited after seeing a book in Qian Danniu's hand.
