The first writer of Qing Dynasty

Kangxi said: "It's been a long time since I took the school exams for my buddies."

They spend their minds on how to engage in party-department struggles, so they don't have the time to study hard!

Especially the elderly prince who has left the palace to build a mansion. He didn't know where he learned the words of the sages he learned when he was young. Scholars all over the world show the respect of Confucian sages, and they also write articles and poems.

Kangxi's eyes are deep. He thinks that every son of his should be excellent. Writing articles and studying classics and history collections are even easier. Don't think that you don't need to study when you grow up. The adult elder brother has the strictest requirements. Go back to the study and study hard!

Not only did he have to test the school buddies, but he also gathered all the literati from the Imperial Academy to write essays together. Whoever couldn't answer well would be ashamed on the spot.

Kangxi not only tested their basic knowledge, but also tested writing articles, the way of governing the country, and the way of calming the people. He mixed up the previous years' questions from the provincial examination and palace examination.

Yinhu's eyelids twitched.

Brothers, the elder brother is 32, can you still remember the schoolwork that was forced into your head when you were a teenager when the schoolwork was heavy?

It's not that everyone's brain has been impacted and remodeled like Yinhu's, and they have a photographic memory.

Like the ninth younger brother Yinzhen, who hasn't read the sage books for about two or three years, and has almost forgotten them.

Yinhu: "Ama Khan, you are embarrassing others, and I haven't read a sage book for three years."

"Even if you've read the books of sages, you haven't understood it," Kangxi hummed, scolding him: "The appearance of a gentleman, the heart of a monkey."

Anyway, he just wants to make everyone feel uncomfortable right now!

Raise a big banner again, call Zhongtian literati, give academicians of the Imperial Academy a chance to show off, and order the prince to "have fun" with the literati, so that they will rack their brains to write articles every day when they go home, and have no energy to fiddle with some no.

Yinhu: "..."

Writing an article doesn't seem to embarrass me, so it's okay, let's go to the theater!

When Kangxi gave this order, the other elder brothers didn't know what was going on, and Yinzhen's head became dizzy: "I haven't read those for three years, and I have already returned the ones I recited to my husband!"

"No, why do you even have to take a school test for numeracy? Fortunately, I used to be good at numeracy, and I used it a lot after doing business."

The Confucian classics are an appetizer, pass the test with no surprises, and then discuss and write articles.

It's not difficult for the third child, after all, he was originally a literati.

It's not difficult for the fourth child who does practical things, but writes his practical experience into the article, and racks his brains to write the article well.

Others, it seems, are not so lucky.

In previous years, Khan Ama personally wrote the questions for the palace examination, such as astronomy, geography, allusions, virtues, people's livelihood, national economy...

The questions are already very long, and they still have to review the questions and write articles, and the sons are all dumbfounded.

The literati of the Imperial Academy just thought they had a new opportunity, hoping to get ahead in this matter, and worked hard to write good articles.

In the past, they were not as good at writing as they could say, "My son is good at martial arts, but not good at literature", but now they are asked to go back to the study to continue their studies without passing the exam.

That's embarrassing.

No one would believe it if they said it was not embarrassing.

Some people thought of a way to get someone to write essays for themselves, and memorized all the exam questions from recent years, but when the real exam came, Kangxi came up with new questions, as if they knew they were talking about the exam preparation questions. .

After such a toss, the sons were too much toss. After returning home, they all read books and studied Khan Ama’s policies for governing the country in recent years, and the scholars were all smiling.Those who have no errands can't escape, and those who have errands can still escape.

For a while, everyone scrambled to share the worries of Khan Ama.

Kangxi: I am not the one to torment my son.

His love called father-jun is as thick as a mountain!

The article is well written, and there are many academicians from the Imperial Academy who were appreciated by the emperor because of this. They thought that the emperor was kind enough to promote talented people!

Yinti just escaped with an errand and didn’t have to go back to “remedial lessons”. Although the article was not well written and shameful, the prince overwhelmed him, which made him vent all his unhappiness on the fireworks and willow lane. .

The most eye-catching flower building was empty when he went to check it, leaving only a few little flower girls who couldn't ask any questions.

The valuable things in the flower building were also removed, Yinti can be sure that those things are still in the capital, so many things cannot be transported out of the city overnight.

After a lot of work, I didn't get anything. As a result, the fireworks and willow alley where the three religions and nine streams gather still show signs of resurgence.

"It's just three nests of cunning rabbits, one nest after another has been wiped out," Yinti gritted his teeth. He thought it was an easy matter, so he took people to seal up Fireworks and Willow Lane, and sent people to patrol to prohibit soliciting. Unexpectedly, there were policies and there were countermeasures !

They are not only cunning, but also very good at hiding. Some even pretend to be good people and exchange secret signals with each other to act behind the scenes.

Yinti found that it was no longer feasible to walk from the bright side, because once his team left, they would pop up again, and it was impossible for his people to guard here all the time.

If he doesn't catch those people all at once, it will appear that he is ineffective!

Yinti didn't know at all that he was also known as the "King of Hades" among the three religions and nine streams. When the spies went to report the news, they would hurriedly shout "The King of Hades is here!"

The secret information network is in the hands of Yinti, and every time Yinti sees him playing hide-and-seek, he is happy to share with Kangxi the story of his elder brother catching hares.

Yinhu is waiting, until those people scatter the "stolen goods" everywhere, and when they keep transferring gold and silver, and the key evidence is attached to their respective mansions, it is time to collect the net.

Among the folks, after the fourth chapter of "Legend of the Great Qin Dynasty" was sold, it became a topic that people talked about.

The literati praised: "Qingcheng's "Legend of the Great Qin" was written to the chapter of swallowing Liuhe, which can be said to vividly depict the bloody battle of unification that year!"

"Yes, how many allusions in the classics are vividly written on the paper, and the textual research is so rigorous that it doesn't look like an ordinary story book, but like a history book."

In the light and shadow, the spectators saw the staff and advisers at that time, the eloquent talents who were envoys to other countries, and the generals who bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield.

The demeanor of the people from all over the place, the demeanor of literati and wealthy guests.

There are strategic duels, scheming competitions, and eloquence competitions here.From intrigues and deceptions among countries to drag each other's legs, to vigilance, diplomats drew alliances and formed a joint strategy to resist Qin, how did Qin break the situation.

The comparison of the situation between the royal families of various countries, and how the royal families of various countries that have repeatedly lost their kings ruined their own national fortunes. No matter how they struggled to death, they could not stop the tiger and wolf division under King Qin.

"One thousand and nine hundred years ago, it was still a troubled time. The ancient times that created many heroes brought too much shock. The people at that time were poor. Looking at today's prosperous and prosperous times, it is even more cherishable."

The fourth chapter "Swallowing Liuhe" has been written until the Qin Dynasty unified the territory, and the first emperor ordered the unification of degrees, quantities, and scales, and the construction of roads.The figure of an innocent child at the end of the article foretells what kind of story people will have in the next article.

"Little Hu Hai, smiling and calling Zhao Gao's name, how could people at that time know that this playboy who was not valued by the first emperor would be Qin Ershi."

When the storyteller in the teahouse talked about "Legend of the Great Qin Dynasty", every show was full of guests, and the applause was endless!

This rather archaeological style of script became the fastest-spreading work, and soon spread all over the place.

Yinti often walked outside, and deeply realized how famous the eighth brother was among the folks and literati!

Ordinary people may not know how many princes there were in the Qing Dynasty and what their names were, but they must know Babeile's "Qingcheng"!

When this name was first chosen, it was just a casual saying, but now the common people think that Babeile is called "Qingcheng".This is unbelievable, it makes people scream all day long, making Yinhu seem to be a blue-faced disaster, and there is an inexplicable sense of shame.

Even if Yinhu stayed in the capital, his ears were hot from being called out, let alone everywhere.However, he did not forget to send the works he wrote with great effort to his "book friend" and "pen pal" Pu Liuxian.

Even though he already knew that he was the prince, Pu Liuxian could still maintain his original communication attitude, discussing the script with him with a normal heart and letting his imagination fly, which is really rare.Yinhu also learned about the lives and needs of many people at the bottom through him.

Zichuan, the Jinan prefecture where Pu Songling lived, was not as prosperous as the capital, and the number of printed books sold was not large, so they copied them by hand. There are really scholars who made a lot of money by copying "Legend of the Great Qin" by hand.

There are very few teahouses for storytelling, but as long as someone opens a storytelling room, no matter how simple the place is, people will come to hear the news.

Because Pu Songling always wrote stereotyped essays that exceeded the number of words and regulations, Pu Songling failed repeatedly, but now that living conditions have improved, he does not have such a deep obsession.

The fame of "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" made him also famous for a large number of poems, operas and slang songs over the years. The villagers passed on the songs to each other, and some people jokingly called him Mr. Liaozhai.

At this moment, he is holding a total of four "Legends of the Great Qin" in his hand. Qingcheng's scripts are notoriously prolific. The same amazing world.

He often communicates with Qingcheng, and what he communicates more is the various attitudes of the people in the folk. There are some things that Qingcheng can't see or hear in the capital, so he can write folk stories to him.

In order to make it easier for the common people to learn literacy skills, he compiled some secretaries to teach the common people the principles of farming, raising silkworms and treating diseases in easy-to-understand language.

Among them, "Daily Common Characters", "Nongsang Jing", "Yao Chongshu" (1) could not attract businessmen who came after hearing the news, so he paid for it himself and wanted to print and sell it, and he sold it at a very low price. common people.

Since the emperor wrote a preface for Qingcheng, the sharp voices of literati talking about Qingcheng have gradually disappeared. What an irony this is, these self-proclaimed noble scholars are also laymen in essence.

Recently, he met a strange man who wandered all over the country and even came to Zichuan. He heard that Mr. Liaozhai was here, so he came to visit him.

As a geek who also wrote private works, this person is quite conceited of historical talent, so he visited everywhere in order to write good works.

Pu Songling heard him complain about "Legend of the Great Qin Dynasty", and thought that the story book was "misleading the children", so she argued with him: "Since the master despises the story book, why did you come to see me, the writer of ghost myths?" How about someone who criticizes even the writing of history, can he still look at someone like me who writes about ghosts and ghosts?"

"No, no," the man shook his head repeatedly, criticizing: "Qingcheng's fault lies in the emphasis on textual research, and he recruited many literati to do textual research together, making the whole world know that he wrote a book of rigorous textual research. .”

"Isn't it good to be rigorous in textual research?"

"The textual research is rigorous, and it is polished to make the story, adding and deleting, and the whole article praises the first emperor, as if he is a fairy character, is that good?" If people can't tell the truth from the false, and believe it to be true, won't they mislead the children and future generations?"

Or write completely fake, the fake is mixed with the real, causing people to mistake the fake for the real, this is where he scolds Qingcheng.

Pu Songling, as Qingcheng's "pen pal", excused himself for his friend: "That's the storybook, who would use the storybook as history?"

"Everyone in the world is singing it, but "Legend of the Great Qin Dynasty" is rigorous in textual research. Even if it is a script, the reputation is spread, and there are not many people who believe it."

"The first emperor was cruel, and the people's lives were in dire straits. That's a fact! If it weren't for this, how could the people complain at the end of Qin Dynasty, impose harsh taxes, and punish harsh laws fiercer than tigers!"

Pu Songling ridiculed him: "Everyone who read it knows that this is a storybook, not a historical book. You said that "Legend of the Qin Dynasty" made up stories to make them false. Why didn't you say "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

The "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty has become a legend in the hearts of literati!

Pu Songling found that this person criticized Qingcheng only to elicit his own works better than Qingcheng.

After years of researching unofficial histories and looking for folk anecdotes, he claims to have written a masterpiece that astounds the world!

As soon as that work came out, people rushed to copy it, and it was circulated in Jiangnan and other places.

However, it was too late for him to appear. The bookstore in Jiangnan had already been taken over by Qingcheng, Mr. Zhengzheng, and Chujian. His works were like stones falling into the sea, causing a splash of water and then submerged in the sea. , The fame is not as big as the "delicious without waiting" of an unknown person.

He is not reconciled, he is a pearl covered in dust, it is Qingcheng blocking his way!

The history books he wrote, his pride, are not as widely spread as Qingcheng's words!In the past, Qingcheng was scolded by people for writing story books, but never touched history books. At that time, he could only say sourly, "It's just a group of ordinary people who read story books, and serious scholars scolded him."

Now Qingcheng writes about the pre-Qin period, shocking the world, the literati praised him truthfully, and slapped him in the face.He would come to look for Pu Liuxian, and he came here on purpose because he heard that he had an old friend with Qingcheng.After all, Qingcheng is hard to find, but Puliuxian is easy to find.

Pu Songling asked him angrily: "You are proud of your talents, and you have to show proof. I want to see what kind of works can be sold by you so boastfully."

The man showed Pu Songling the works that he had spent a lot of time researching and verifying.

The writing method of that work is very similar to "Historical Records", what is written is actually a rare history of Ming Dynasty!

Half a month later, Yinhu, who was far away in the capital, received books and letters from his pen pal Liuxian. He sorted out many religious works he had compiled, such as "Daily Common Characters", "Nongsang Jing", "Yao Chongshu" After reading all these books for him, Yinhu read that these books are quite simple, and they are worthy of being used as textbooks to educate the common people.

Along with these things came another work that "shocked the world", Pu Liuxian said, "Please take a look, this book is not widely circulated, is there still a way out?"

He threw this troublesome book to Yinhu, and attached a letter saying: "The author of this book wants to compare with Qingcheng."

"Nanshan Collection".

Yinhu had to wait around for the time to close the net, so he took a look at it with a leisurely heart, hey!Does anyone really dare to write Ming history?

I don’t even dare to write Ming Dynasty scripts, otherwise why didn’t I write about Jinyiwei in the East Factory and West Factory, because I was afraid of being beaten by Khan Ama and wearing small shoes!

The Qing Dynasty was already compiling the history of the Ming Dynasty, and it was completed jointly by the civil officials appointed by Khan Ama.Since the bloody incident in Ming Dynasty, some people had the guts to write about the history of the Ming Dynasty in private.

Yinhu flipped through it, and found that some of the previous articles were not bad. After reading some of them, the words were sharp and contradictory, which could easily incite people's hearts and cause serious trouble.

He widened his eyes: "No wonder Pu Liuxian wants to ask if there is any way to survive this book. Is this a comparison? It's life-threatening!"

The author has something to say: Note (1) comes from Baidu Encyclopedia, which is also a work written by Pu Songling
