Chapter 2074 The Mystery of Skyfire (Part 2)

In the thirty-three years of Qianlong, that is, in 1768 in the Western calendar, some events also happened in Europe. France signed an agreement with Genoa, acquired Corsica, and Napoleon Bonaparte was born.

He has two birthdays, one is January 7, 1768, and the other is August 15, 1769. This is mainly to facilitate some "problems" because Napoleon is too young.

Another thing is that the "Encyclopedia Britannica" was published in England, to be precise, it was published by booksellers and printers in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The Qing Dynasty also compiled the "Siku Quanshu", which was also in the Qianlong period. The main editor at that time was Ji Yun, whose style name was Xiaolan. He was also exiled to the Western Regions in 1768.

According to the etiquette system, three years of filial piety should be observed after the death of his father, and Ji Xiaolan has a good education. Qianlong felt that it would be better for him to stay with him if he went to other provinces to become an official.

In fact, it was not a big deal, but in the first year of Qianlong, the salt merchants colluded with the government to occupy the salt ponds of the kitchen households.

Ji Xiaolan has an in-law named Lu Jianzeng, who was a Jinshi in the 60th year of Kangxi. It is said that he is good at water control. But at that time, during the period of "Nine Dragons Seizing the Inheritance", he was not needed in the capital, so he was exiled to Hongya, Sichuan, a remote, poor, chaotic place with endless prison lawsuits as the county magistrate.

After finally Yongzheng became emperor, Lu Jianzeng's father went again, and according to the etiquette system, he had to observe filial piety for three years. Seeing that the filial piety period expired, Lu Jianzeng's mother passed away, and he had to observe filial piety for another three years. Not long after Lu Jianzeng's filial piety was over, Yongzheng passed away. Qianlong didn't need to observe Yongzheng's filial piety for three years. He appointed Lu Jianzeng to handle the Lianghuai Yanyin case in the second year of Qianlong.

The south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous, with many talented scholars and beauties, among which the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou" is the most famous.

Lu Jian Zeng was named Yayushanren. When he was the magistrate, he had a close relationship with Zheng Xie, one of the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou", whose name was Banqiao. Later, he went to Yangzhou and served as an envoy for transporting salt between Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers. . He rebuilt the Anding Academy in Yangzhou, following the example of Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi and Wang Yuyang in attracting famous scholars.

Only rich people can read books. Although Lu Jian made friends with these "elite scholars" on weekdays, he still made a judgment in favor of the salt people that "the stove belongs to the commercial pavilion, and the grain belongs to the stove" on the issue of Yanyin. , and issued a deed to safeguard the interests of the salt people. So in order to thank him, the salt people built an ancestral hall for him as a memorial.

However, Lu Jianzeng's doing so was tantamount to offending corrupt officials and unscrupulous salt merchants. They sent people to spread rumors and slander him. Before Qianlong could find out the truth, he was dismissed from his post in the fourth year of Qianlong, and he was exiled to the army and dispatched outside the Great Wall in the second year.

Although he was wronged, he was not as snowy in June as Dou E. In the ninth year of Qianlong's injustice case, Lu Jianzeng was reactivated, and in the eighteenth year of Qianlong's reign, he was transferred to serve as an envoy for transporting salt between Huaihe River and Huaihe River.

Qianlong loved to go to Jiangnan to play. Lu Jianzeng took office this time and it had been two years since Qianlong went to Jiangnan for the first time. However, Jiangnan was not as good as he imagined. Yangzhou is low-lying and often suffers from floods. Lu Jianzeng went to control the floods and made landscaping along the Qinhuai River.

In the 20th year of Qianlong, when Aixinjueluo Hongli went to the south of the Yangtze River for the second time, the 24 scenes of the Red Bridge and the view of Jinjiao Tower had been completed, making Yangzhou more charming and colorful, and Lu Jianzeng also greeted him this time. Bring the friends of "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou".

Even if Qianlong's poems were "one piece after another, flying into the reeds and disappearing", he still liked to compose poems with famous scholars.

No matter how the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou" did not flatter the powerful, the emperor would not dare to offend them. Although the Qing Dynasty has been engaged in literary prison since the Shunzhi period, and a "clean wind and illiterate" can cut off the heads of the whole place, the literary prison in the Qianlong period was the pinnacle of Chinese civilization history. . Even if you don't want to die, for the sake of the whole family, you still have to go to some entertainment.

When Qianlong first ascended the throne, he was so hypocritical that he won the hearts of the people, and he ordered "please be lenient on false accusations and prohibit false accusations".

However, in the third year of Qianlong, a salt merchant published a book, which was a collection of poems. The poems were not written by himself, but by a Yangzhou Juren named Xu Kui.

The purpose of the salt merchants was to curry favor with Akzhan, the Lianghuai salt transport envoy at the time. When Akzhan was framed by the Thirteen Lines in Guangdong, only Xu Kui said a few words of justice for him.

Xu Kui wrote hundreds of poems in his life, but they were not compiled into a book. Akzhan also wanted to help him fulfill his last wish several times, but Akzhan's little salary was really helpless, and then there was a salt merchant to please him. Akezhan, for Xu Kui's collection of poems.

Xu Kui has a national complex, and his poems are full of concern for the country and the people, and even a bit of "anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty" thoughts. Later, this collection of poems was read by Qianlong, and the literary inquisition broke out.

They have already arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, how can they not go to Qinhuai? The boat on the Qinhuai River had been waiting for a long time, but Qianlong couldn't be blatant when he came to this place of smoke and willows. He visited in secret.

Literati prostitutes are not so vulgar, and there are many tricks, including playing the piano, listening to music, and reciting poems. It is said that one night, Qianlong met a woman when he was "flavourful" with other Yangzhou literati on a painting boat. She was very good at Playing the pipa is like the pipa girl described by Bai Juyi.

Her stage name is "Mengmeng", she is a hard-working person, she used to be a lady from a rich family, her family has fallen, and she has to be blah blah blah...

This is Qinhuaihe's routine. Basically, a "thin horse" with both talent and appearance will have a story to sing and cry about. How to fall into this situation because of bad luck, the old bustard earns this money.

Later, Qianlong listened to the pipa played by "Mengmeng", went boating on the Qinhuai River with the painting boat, watched the twenty-four scenes of the Red Bridge, and enjoyed the leisure that could not be enjoyed in the palace.

However, "Mengmeng" played the most exciting part of the song, and suddenly took out a dagger from the pipa and stabbed Qianlong. Fortunately, the guards were quick-sighted and Qianlong escaped the blow unscathed.

Seeing that there was nothing she could do, "Mengmeng" turned around and jumped out of the window of the painting boat, and fell into the Qinhuai River, where she never disappeared.

After investigation, I found out that "Mengmeng"'s real name is Xu Hualan, and she is Xu Kui's granddaughter. Although Xu Kui himself died, his family was still doomed. Xu Hualan's mother was sent to the teaching workshop with her in her arms.

She assassinated Qianlong not only to avenge her father, but also because she participated in the "Anti-Qing and Fuming" organization. Otherwise, how could a "skinny horse" escape the pursuit of so many officials and "sticky poles".

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they discovered the corruption in the Han land. Since Shunzhi, the women's music workshops were banned, but the results have been minimal. On the contrary, some people want to restore the scale of the teaching workshops in the Tang and Song Dynasties.

After the accident, Qianlong didn't ask Lu Jianzeng to hold him accountable, and Lu Jianzeng was able to get along safely until the 27th year of Qianlong, when he retired and returned home, and lived a life of seclusion.

However, in the 30th year of Qianlong, Qianlong went to Jiangnan for the fourth time. This time he was not as happy as before, because serious floods occurred in the south of the Yangtze River, resulting in poor harvests.

During that time, the climate in Asia was not very good. In 1770, there was a famine in Bengal, and even more people starved to death because of the East India Company's looting of the food that had already been reduced.

Water control will inevitably use water conservancy, and water conservancy projects are not a small expense.

After a thorough investigation, in 1768, the Lianghuai Salt Citation Case broke out, and Lu Jianzeng was arrested and put into the sky prison again, where he was sentenced to death for his crime.

At that time, Ji Xiaolan just said a few nice words for her in-law Lu Jianzeng, and then she was assigned XJ. Now, no one pleaded for Lu Jianzeng anymore.

It was three years after his death that someone gave him permission. At that time, Ji Xiaolan had already returned from XJ to compile the Complete Book of Siku, which was several times larger than the Yongle Canon, and the one who pleaded for Lu Jianzeng was someone who was good at seawall engineering Liu Tongxun.

Traditional society did not have a good impression of Legalism, and all dynasties would give it a very negative evaluation based on the historical facts of the death of Qin Dynasty II.

Since Confucius and Mencius, Confucianism has advocated righteousness over profit and human nature is good, while Legalists, especially Shang Yang and Han Fei, believe that human nature is inherently evil.

Shang Yang severely punished misdemeanors, often picked his nose and cut his ears. He even executed 700 prisoners by the Wei River in one day. The whole river was dyed red. He believed that only by passing strict laws and making people fearful can people stop evil. heart of.

Han Fei is a stammer. He believes that there is only interest between the monarch and his ministers. There is no relationship between father and son.

Xunzi believes that following human nature and following people's feelings must be in contention.

People who appear to be obedient on the surface are not really obedient, but to fight for more benefits. Han Fei believes that for the benefit, people will cooperate in addition to fighting, and for the greater benefit, the enemy will shake hands and make peace.

Shang Yang's policy did not leave the society with moral and value choices, and all social relations became the relationship between interests and criminal law. Simply emphasizing utilitarianism while ignoring morality will release a lot of people's natural and biological desires. For military exploits, Qin soldiers not only fought bravely, but also killed prisoners of war and civilians. In order to get more heads, Qin was branded forever. The traces of "tyranny" and "teacher of tigers and wolves" that cannot be washed away.

Shang Yang's reform was due to Qin Xiaogong's support. After Qin Xiaogong's death, he had no backer. He originally planned to run away overnight, but found that he didn't bring anything to prove his identity when he was going to stay in the hotel. According to the law at that time, he was still outside after dark. Loitering people will be arrested. Only then did Shang Yang understand the consequences of his reform.

After King Qin Hui came to the throne, the nobles demanded that Shang Yang be broken, and King Qin Hui agreed to their request, but the reform still had to continue. By the time of King Qin Zhaoxiang, Qin had already dominated the world.

"Warring States Policy Wei Policy Four" wrote a story that King Zhaoxiang of Qin sent someone to tell Lord Anling of Wei State that he wanted to exchange five hundred miles for Anling.

Anling was just a small country in the Warring States Period, and it didn't add up to five hundred miles. In the early Warring States Period, Wei State was still a very powerful country, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. It was divided into three families together with Han and Zhao. By the end of the Warring States Period, it was already a small country.

Lord Anling easily saw through the conspiracy behind the "generous conditions" proposed by the King of Qin. With Qin's national strength and army, how could Anling be able to defeat him? After losing Anling, Lord Anling sent an "old minister" Tang Ju to Qin.

Tang Ju is more than 90 years old, 20 years older than the 70s, and he will be sentenced to death faster. Even though he is not as bold as Jing Ke, he dares to say anything. Even thousands of miles of land would not dare to be exchanged.”

The King of Qin was furious, and called Tang Ju and said, "Your Majesty, have you heard of the Son of Heaven's wrath?"

Tang Ju said to him: "I have never heard of it."

The King of Qin said: "The wrath of the Son of Heaven lays down millions of corpses and bleeds for thousands of miles."

Tang Ju said: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the wrath of commoners?"

The King of Qin said: "The wrath of the common people is nothing more than removing the hat and bare feet, and grabbing the ears with the head."

Tang Ju said: "The anger of a mediocre man is also the anger of a non-scholar. When Zhuanzhu assassinated King Liao of Wu, a comet struck the moon; when Nie Zheng assassinated Han puppet, a white rainbow pierced the sun; In the hall. These three sons are all ordinary men, and now including me will make four people. If the soldiers must be angry, they will lay down their corpses and bleed for five steps. The world will be nothing, just like today."

After speaking, the old man drew his sword and wanted to die together.

King Qin changed his face at this time, and became more polite with Tang Ju. Although South Korea and Wei were dead, Anling survived for the time being.

Later, when Jing Ke assassinated Qin Shihuang, Prince Yan sent him off in white clothes, just like an elegy: "The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return when he is gone."

If Jing Ke succeeded in assassinating Qin Qin that day, would there really only be two people who fell on the ground? One is Qin Wang Yingzheng, and the other is Jing Ke.

But the world is probably unavoidable. After all, the king is dead, and the whole country has to mourn.

At that time, I am afraid that there will be white everywhere, white snow, white spirit-calling banners, and white filial piety.

Corresponding to it are the buildings of the state of Qin that advocate the virtue of water. Although they are made of wood, they are painted with black paint, which looks like they have been burnt.

Georgiana looked coldly at the people who heard about the land and suddenly smiled.

"Why are you laughing?" asked Bonaparte.

"Remember how I met you? I told you someone was going to assassinate you." Georgiana looked at him and said, "Did it snow that day?"

He didn't seem to understand what she said, and gave her a glass of red wine.

She looked at the dishes in front of her, and the seasoning rack not far away. It was a glass seasoning bottle made in England, and the pepper and salt inside could be seen through the transparent bottle.

The so-called major events in the world are not major events for Xiaomin, because there is no enough food and no place to live, so why care about those?

The same is true for the general election in France this time. No one cares about it at all. The political parties that have been changing for ten years have made them feel tired.

Napoleon interviewed the judges of the special court who dealt with bandits one by one. Except for Alsace, there was no other trouble. Coupled with the return of the church, order was restored in France.

Han Feizi once said: There is no small order but no big chaos. If the law is not established, there is no need to punish it. Although there are ten Zuo clans, it is useless. If the law is established, it will be punished.

That is to say, "it is better to kill one thousand by mistake than to let one go" is harmful and not beneficial. This is the mistake made by the Pope of Rome and the Udine Inquisition, who killed therapists as wizards.

The "International Statute of Secrecy" is still going to continue. As for Arianna being attacked by a Muggle child, her magic power has been out of control since then. Albus' father hurt the Muggle in order to avenge his daughter, and was finally imprisoned in the Azkaban case, and Grindelwald "Who exactly does that law protect?"

Her answer is, this is fate, if you don't accept it, please forgive me, she can't give a better answer, I'm afraid you have to find the answer yourself.

At this time, there was a muffled thunder outside the tent.

looks like it's going to rain.

That's strange, doesn't the weather forecast say that today is sunny?
