The first writer of Qing Dynasty

In a short period of time, these voices appeared everywhere, and Kangxi became a little annoyed.

Do you think I don't want to?

He was full of complaints, and in a blink of an eye—see what Yinhu is doing?Yinti is helping Yinti find the boss of Hualou, and lead Yinti to arrest him!

Compared with the business, what is the storybook?

Kangxi was very satisfied with Yinhu's performance, so when someone came to urge him, he just turned a deaf ear or pretended to be stupid. Once someone pointed out the "hint", he reprimanded them.

"The script? No matter how famous the script is, it will be difficult to be elegant. If you bother me again, I will ban the legend of the Great Qin, and I won't let the old man write it!"

What he said was casual and angry words, which made people panic in their hearts, for fear that the emperor would really ban the words that he wrote the preface himself.

Babeile has not followed up for a long time, and those who are waiting to read the final chapter are full of melancholy. Zhang Tingyu, the son of the former crown prince Zhang Ying, is now working in the Imperial Academy.

Staying in this place where literati are everywhere, it is inevitable to catch your ears—two sentences about the storybook.

Before Kangxi 39 years ago, he was preparing for the exam at home—reading the books of sages and sages by heart, but he really didn't pay attention to the ever-changing trend of words and scripts outside.

I don’t know when in the capital city, storybooks have spread everywhere, and several teahouses for storytelling have opened. There are no such elegant teahouses. Some storytellers build a small shed and invite guests to drink some fresh water. Earn a lot of money.

After passing the exam, walking in the capital again, I only feel that the scenery is very different.

The trend of story books has a positive effect on the prosperity of the style of writing. Now story books can be found all over the street, not to mention other books and articles that are more serious in people's minds?

The increase in the number and scale of book printing houses in various places is also a manifestation of the advent of the prosperous age. Private books are widely circulated, and new problems follow. How should these books be supervised?

These have been proposed by the courtiers as the content of the court meeting and discussed before the emperor.

Today Zhang Tingyu heard a former classmate compose a poem to express his deep indignation at the bottom of the pit. That person is good at writing essays, even if he is good at stereotyped essays, the poems he made are naturally extremely exquisite. This is this poem The meaning expressed in the seven-character verse makes people want to laugh: I have fallen into a pit. If I knew it was like this, why did I have to do it in the first place?Now that things have happened, the only way to relieve my loneliness is to bring others to accompany me to share my grievances.

Hearing the exclamation from her classmates, Zhang Tingyu burst out laughing.

"It's just a script, so there's no need to be so serious?"

The classmate said: "You don't understand, if you go to see it, you will understand my feelings."

Zhang Tingyu shook his head, but he didn't want to read the story books. He was not a follower. Compared with the story books, he read more history books.

However, recently, the playwrights raised in the palace have rehearsed a new opera called "The King of Qin Circles the Pillar", which is really interesting.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang wrote "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", the main character is Jing Ke, and it is a tragic story of a strong hero Jing Ke going to assassinate the tyrant.

"The picture is poor, but the dagger will see!"

"The King of Qin was shocked, and he drew his sword with his sleeves. The sword is long... the sword is strong, so it cannot be pulled up immediately!" (1)

The content written in "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" was also integrated into the opera, and the opera was quite pleasant.

"King Qin returned the pillar and left."

"The king bears the sword! The king bears the sword!"

The protagonist of "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" is Jing Ke, so he brings it in from Jing Ke's perspective, and the writing is tragic and decisive.

However, the protagonist of "The King of Qin Surrounding the Pillar" is Yingzheng, the first emperor, so it is written from the perspective of Yingzheng. From the beginning of the chapter, King Qin was in a good mood because he broke Zhao and captured King Zhao. speed up.

He started planning, and with joy, he came to clean up the annexed territory.

He wants to unify - degree, quantity and scale, to build roads, and to unify - writing!

As a descendant after 900 years, he praised King Qin's idea very much, even the illiterate people knew that the deeds done by Shi Huang would last forever.

But other people will not be conquered lying down. After the first emperor attacked Zhao, he drifted away. He boasted that he was powerful, so he agreed to meet Jing Ke and offer pictures.

All the farce that happened later was from the perspective of Shi Huang.

I attacked and destroyed Zhao, I was powerful, and I was invincible in the world.

Someone offered a picture, and the courtier guessed that it might be an assassin, and tried to persuade him many times, but the first emperor didn't think so, so let him come, I don't believe that I can overturn the car!

Hey, there really are assassins!I have a sword!

Alas!My sword is too long to draw it out!

The first emperor was devastated and was ashamed in front of all the courtiers. Whenever he thought of this in the future, he would turn black and angry, and jump up in embarrassment.

The people who rehearse the opera know how to do it - there are twists and turns, referring to Qingcheng's "Legend of the Great Qin", which is played from the perspective of the first emperor, how can it be called a chicken flying dog jumping, and the comedy effect is full.

It has only been two months since the "court drama" first appeared in the Forbidden City and spread, and now people outside know that there is a new drama called "The King of Qin Around the Pillar"!

All the spectators were watching the show with a smile: "It turns out that the First Emperor of the Seven Kingdoms also had such a side, and he still has his own petty temper!"

It's just miserable, that petty temper made him lose the adults directly, people couldn't help but want to laugh when they mentioned how great he was after that, and left a "stain" that will go down in "green" history (Humor.

People in the past subconsciously brought their perspectives into Jing Ke because of the various works handed down since the Han Dynasty, as well as "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" written by Liu Xiang in the Western Han Dynasty.

Now it is brought into the perspective of the first emperor, and viewed from the perspective of future generations-thousands and 900 years ago, Fang knew how hateful Jing Ke sent by Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom was to the first emperor.

Liu Xiang wrote in the article: "Beheading Jing Ke, the first emperor was dazzled for a long time."

That scene was also exhausted by the opera, dazzled for a long time, dizzy, laughing so much that the stomachs of the opera watchers hurt.

Who would have thought that someone would write a "Legend of the Great Qin" to praise the first emperor after 900 years?

What happened in the early stage of the extermination of Yan, although there are historical facts to prove it, but Qingcheng described it wantonly, making people feel that the extermination of the Yan country was justified, and that the first emperor did not whip the corpse to vent his anger because he was magnanimous.

So Qingcheng is Shi Huang blowing, or Shi Huang black and black?

But the spectators generally believed that with this play, people's conception of Shihuang became more vivid.

He is no longer the illusory code name in the rumors, he has become a living person with his own personality and ideas.

Now let's analyze the actions of the first emperor back then, and it is fair to give a praise that merit outweighs demerit.

However, did Qingcheng include private goods in "Legend of the Great Qin" to praise his Khan Ama?

For example, the exhausted Qin's strategy turned out to make Qin gnaw a hard bone and own Zheng Guoqu.

The current reigning emperor is also doing things like harnessing rivers, digging canals, and building roads. There are many things to strengthen the country, and there are many things to put down rebellions.

After the literati had a good time, they began to peel off the cocoons, extracting evidence that Qingcheng might be flattering the emperor to attack Qingcheng.

In April, Zhang Tingyu was able to join the South Study Room, and was favored by the emperor's promotion. He lived in the inner court, so he often served by Kangxi's side.

It was also when he was accompanying the emperor that he caught a glimpse of the emperor's collection of books.

The emperor has already written a preface for Babeile, so it is understandable that the emperor would look at Babeile's words, this will not surprise Zhang Tingyu.

To his surprise, when Babeile appeared, the emperor asked Liang Jiugong to take away "Legend of the Great Qin Dynasty". This kind of behavior of 300 taels of silver here seemed to tell Babeile, "I didn't read your script."

Zhang Tingyu looked at Babeile twice, and suddenly heard Kangxi introduce himself to Babeile.

"This is Zhang Tingyu, the son of the Crown Prince's Taifu Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying taught the Crown Prince's history books back then."

Babeile said with a smile: "Master Zhang is very knowledgeable, and his son must be good. If I have any questions about the textual research in the future, maybe I can ask someone more."

The emperor scolded Babeile with a smile: "Think everyone is like you in doing business? Don't delay Heng Chen from doing business."

Babeile touched his nose: "It's the same if I ask you after I leave my post."

Zhang Tingyu only thought that the emperor had many young and promising sons, so he was very tolerant of Babeile.

The review of the Imperial Academy is in charge of repairing books, and Nian Gengyao, who is also in this position, has been listed as a four-beile, and is now serving as an examiner for the Sichuan Provincial Examination.Does Babeile come to contact him through the emperor's idea, does it have a different meaning?

Zhang Tingyu secretly guessed that after Babeile came to him, he treated him seriously, but he didn't expect that Babeile directly discussed Tang history with him!It is said that he was reading "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" recently. The publication of this book became popular after the author Chu Renhuo died of illness.It is said that after reading "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", he wanted to write about Tang Dynasty.

In the past, there was a beautiful woman who was famous in the Tang Dynasty for her sword dance. Yan Zhenqing wrote vigorously after returning home after seeing her, leaving behind amazing authentic cursive script.The inspiration of Li Bai's view is above, and the poems are like a spring.Du Fu wrote "Watching Aunt Gongsun's Disciple Dance with Swords and Weapons".

Zhang Tingyu heard what Babeile meant, and it seems that he intends to use the events of several legendary women as the latitude, and use the demeanor of the women of the Tang Dynasty to elicit the openness, heroism, and romance of that era, and to present the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty from the common people's society. style.

He not only wanted to write about Aunt Gongsun, but also Empress Changsun, Shangguan Wan'er, Princess Taiping, Yu Xuanji, as well as those female generals in the Tang Dynasty who did not give way to women, Chief Officer Huo, Princess Pingyang...

Why write about women?Because a few years have passed, the flames of the folk girls have been ignited, and it is time to pour some oil on this fire!

With the advancement of women's status, who else can jump the most?Those sour Confucians!

I have to ask Babelor why did he do this?Ah well, anyway, it wasn't him who caught fire in the backyard.

He wrote that Fujin loves to read, and Er Niang loves to read, that's enough.

"I know that I wrote it - I will definitely be scolded. If you scold me, you can scold me. If you don't scold Khan Ama, there are still few scolding me? Others don't like to read it, so don't read it. It's not that I begged them to read it." , or you have the ability to write with a pen yourself!"

Zhang Tingyu: "..." I didn't expect Babeile, who is gentle and gentle like jade, to have such a temper?

Zhang Tingyu asked casually: "Then what about the ending of the Great Qin Legend, you don't want to write it anymore?"

Babeile blinked mischievously with his elegant and gentle face: "It's already finished in my mind."

"When did the first emperor die? Isn't this recorded in the history books? The ending is of course all dead! The first emperor searched for immortals and asked for medicine, but his health was not as good as before. After the first emperor died, Zhao Gao and Li Si tampered with the imperial edict. The young master helped Su to commit suicide."

Zhang Tingyu: ...

When he heard a friend complain again: "Will I still see the end of the Great Qin Legend in my lifetime?"

Zhang Tingyu hesitated to speak.

In the end, should I tell him that Babeile is preparing to write about Da Tang and didn't want to write about Daqin recently, or should I tell him that even if Babeile writes, the follow-up will probably make people feel heavy and depressed.

Forget it, he still pretends that he doesn't know anything!

As for whether Babeile is wooing him, after Zhang Tingyu's observation, Babeile really just likes to write scripts!

Here, Yinhu said to Kangxi: "Khan Ama, look at what the elder brother is doing? In order to prevent the released Huaniang from secretly engaging in old business, so they are all arrested and put in prison. Now Well, eight thousand girls! There's no room for people in the prison."

Among these people, some are voluntary, some are brainwashed, some are forced, and some have no ability to earn a living.There are some in the capital, let alone what it will look like outside.The matter of anti-pornography has a lot to do with rectifying the administration of officials, clearing up the atmosphere, and reducing crime. It will also expose some hidden rebels and leave them without sources of information.

Kangxi said: "As for the follow-up resettlement, we will use what Tang Bin did in the local area as an example to arrange for them to find another way to make a living."

"And it's clear that some of them know the 'little secret' and the 'big secret' among many dignitaries."

As for this matter, it is not suitable to bring it to the court meeting. It is best for Khan Ama to arrange for someone to do it.

Yinhu: "My son thinks that Zhang Tingyu is quite suitable, and we can take this opportunity to see his ability to handle affairs."

The most important thing is that when he talks about girls, the calm, peaceful, and equal state of mind is not the sour tone.

Kangxi made a "huh" sound, and didn't care who he recommended, and asked him instead: "How is the fourth brother?"

Yinzhen over there...

"Ah, brother four," Yinhu said with a smile, "he caught the wrong person, and it was Dai Mingshi's disciple who caused the trouble."

"Dai Mingshi went to take the provincial examination. I heard that he is extremely talented. Do you think it's strange that he went to the provincial examination. Isn't he dissatisfied with the court? Is he bowing his head?"

"Khan Ama has been tolerant and kind to the literati over the years, and has done a lot to win over the literati. How many talented people have changed their minds and turned to the court? These years, they worshiped the Confucius Temple, valued Confucianism, and wooed literati from all over the world. It is not for nothing to study extensively and study Confucianism.”

"Yes, in recent years, more talented people have been selected by the imperial examination, and the number of people who come to refer to them has also continued to increase." Thinking of the statistics of the reference numbers for the rural examinations in various places this year, Kangxi laughed: "I have worked so hard these years. What was done was never in vain.”

So-speaking, Kangxi did not intend to order Dai Mingshi to be arrested immediately. He thought for a moment and decided to let Dai Mingshi take the imperial examination. Besides, if he is really a talented and powerful person, he will definitely pass the imperial examination. See!Kangxi likes to gnaw hard bones and twist melons, the more he shouts no, the more he wants that person to bow his head.Back then he subdued Yao Qisheng, and today he thinks he can subdue other stubborn literati too.

The author has something to say: Note (1) refers to the original text of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin". Everyone is familiar with the fact that the King of Qin walked around the pillar and the king carried the sword!

Note (2) written by Du Fu.Yan Zhenqing, Li Bai and others saw the sword dance from Baidu Encyclopedia.

Does the ancients' woohoo mean Wuhu, or what the hell?It seems to depend on the context.

So woo hoo, my sword is too long, I can't pull it out, it can be translated as: Damn it!My sword is too long to draw it out...
