Chapter 2078 Tianshui is ready (4)

Cao Xueqin's grandfather was a weaver in Jiangning. Jiangning was called Jinling during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. During the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Yingtian Mansion by Zhu Yuanzhang. After the Jing Dynasty, Zhu Di moved the capital to BJ, and the capital of Yingtian became Nanjing.

In the Qing Dynasty, Nanjing became Jiangning and became the residence of the governor of Liangjiang.

The dress Miss Rokul wore was a product of Suzhou Weaving House. It was originally meant to be worn by a certain princess. Later, the princess lost her favor, so the clothes made for her were left in the warehouse. Later, they were

Mr. "China Hands" bought it and gave it to Miss Rokul.

Jiangnan not only supplied silk and other luxury goods to the emperor, but was also an important place for taxation. The position of Suzhou weaving had always been filled by reliable officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At that time, Suzhou weaving was owned by the Manchu Sazai, who was a member of the royal family.

Zhi passed the Manchu examination and became a scholar. Kangxi and Qianlong stayed in Zhizao Mansion every time they visited Suzhou during their southern tours.

There is an idiom called "Colorful clothes to entertain relatives". It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was an old man who was very filial. At the age of seventy, he still dressed up in colorful clothes and pretended to be a child, making his centenarian parents laugh, as if he was playing with a baby bird.

side.

Filial piety also depends on the person. Originally, there was no stonemason involved in the search for demon gangs, but there was a farmer named Shen Shiliang in Deqing County. He asked a stonemason Wu who was building a bridge for help. Shen Shiliang could not bear the abuse of his nephew, so he wanted to ask the stonemason Wu to write the letter.

Shen Shiliang stuffed a note with his nephew's name into a wooden pile, and then called his nephew's name while driving the wooden pile into the river. Shen Shiliang felt that this would suck away his nephew's energy and make him sick or die.

There is no filial son before a long-term illness, let alone a nephew. But biological sons may not be filial, such as the parricide of Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty visited the south of the Yangtze River three times. Legend has it that he spent a lot of time every time he went to the south of the Yangtze River. Not only did he spend a lot of money and money, but he also searched for beautiful women everywhere, making the people miserable.

At that time, Jiangnan had not yet been developed by the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Compared with the Central Plains, it was still relatively backward. In particular, there were conflicts with the ethnic minorities in the Baiyue area. Tea gardens had already begun to be opened at that time, although tea culture had to be developed in

The Tang Dynasty, especially Empress Wu Zetian, began to vigorously promote it.

What Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did was actually done by Li Shimin later. The imperial court must have written history books mostly to protect its own interests. It was inevitable that it would "beautify" the changes in dynasties. Some folk historians would think it inappropriate. Shunzhi Ten

The Ming Dynasty case in the second year of the Ming Dynasty also took place in Jiangnan.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was the last emperor, he hanged himself in Meishan. According to the etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period, "the monarch dies in the country, the officials die in public, and the scholars die in the system." When Yu Wenhua was about to kill Yang Guang, Yang Guang also said,

The monarch's blood should not be shed casually. Later, Yu Wenhuaji used strangulation instead of swords. He could be regarded as martyrdom for his country in accordance with the etiquette.

Originally, the historians of the Qing court wanted to write that when Li Zicheng opened the treasury, it was empty, but Chongzhen's own private treasury was full, and that Chongzhen liked women and so on. If Chongzhen really had so much money, there would be no need for officials to raise donations to beat Li Zicheng.

What?

Furthermore, the Ming Dynasty also had its own historian. Zhu Guozhen, the chief minister of the cabinet at that time, was impeached by Wei Zhongxian. After he retired and returned to his hometown, he compiled the history of the Ming Dynasty. Except that the deeds of Emperor Chongzhen were not compiled, why not use it if there is a ready-made manuscript?

It is not easy to replace the traces left by the previous dynasty. There are still many people who sympathize with Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Emperor Wanli almost never went to the early dynasty. When he came to Kangxi, he was always famous for his diligence, and almost no one He was absent from the court the next morning, and Kangxi's sons also got up early in the morning to study.

According to the confessions from surrounding provinces, all the "masters" of sorcery have gone to the south of the Yangtze River. Zhangbao followed the clues provided by Shandong and was led into dead ends one after another. He could not find "Master Mingyuan" and also found When he didn't go to the so-called Sanchang Temple, he couldn't find the "Zhu Shimao from Suzhou" that AH said. There was no such person in Suzhou. Then he looked for the fortune teller Zhang Siru. He should be hiding in a certain village in Pizhou, but There is no such village at all.

Officials were exhausted but made no progress. Hongli's imperial mails arrived one after another. Zhangbao was just a governor of Jiangsu. Unfortunately, his immediate boss Gao Jin was Han. Fortunately, Zhangbao was a Manchu, so he could question , was Shandong’s confession false? So Zhangbao wrote a letter to Funihan asking him to retrial, and the prisoner was tortured again.

At this time, the suspect in Shandong changed his confession again. "Masters" Wu Yuan and Tong Yuan were not from Jiangnan at all, but from Zhili. So Qianlong ordered all the temples in the Gyeonggi area to be searched and issued a ridiculous The instructions are not limited to whether the suspect matches the confession.

If a Zen master can change his name, will he still be able to disguise himself?

Seeing that things were getting worse, Zhangbao simply blamed himself and begged Hongli to punish him. It was his dereliction of duty that led to the dereliction of duty by his subordinates, and he himself was contaminated with bad officialdom habits. He hoped that the emperor could issue an edict or let him be punished. The officials impeached themselves.

Such words may have given Hongli some satisfactory answer, so he stopped grabbing Zhangbao and turned to find trouble with the governor of Zhejiang.

Yongde was a minor nobleman. His promotion was too fast and too easy. He only served as a trainee in the Ministry of Punishment for a period of time before he became a Taoist. But it was also the experience during this period, coupled with the fact that he had made great achievements in the past. Bao attracted the emperor's attention. When it was Zhejiang Governor Yongde's turn to answer, he had already sent plainclothes detectives throughout the province to investigate the ins and outs of the matter, such as the matter of Wu Shijiang and Shen Nongfu, and also found all those with " "Wu Yuan" is a monk with the same pronunciation but different words. They either live in the mountains and old forests, or have nothing to do with the crime of witchcraft. He can't find other criminals such as fortune tellers. In the end, he concluded that the whole witchcraft case was a rumor. rumor.

What the emperor wanted was to extract the truth. The entire Qing government had become deceitful and could no longer be reused. However, the officials did not realize it. They still felt that they were doing their best to run errands.

As for the people, it is even more chaotic. There are many names like Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu. Jiangnan is densely populated. Maybe there is a fortune teller named Zhang Siru. Then he becomes the "chief criminal" who is on the level of a gangster and is wanted nationwide. Already.

It was a coincidence that Zhang Fei met Yue Fei on the stage. There was a beggar father and son. They were good at singing "Lotus Flower Falls" to beg. The father's name was Zhang Si, and there was only one word difference with the fortune teller Zhang Siru.

The father and son arrived at the east gate of Xuzhou at the end of July, where they met Zhao San from Huguang. He was a tall Han man, about fifty years old. Zhao asked them what they did for a living, and then asked them to cut their braids for five hundred cents each.

Zhao didn't tell them what the pigtails were for, but gave them drugs and told them that they could easily bewitched by the drugs. Then he cut off the pigtails and agreed to meet at the border of Tongshan County.

Zhang Si and his son went to a restaurant in Suzhou and sang songs and begged at the door of the restaurant. When the song ended, only the employees of the restaurant did not leave to clean up the mess. Zhang Si went up to him and knocked him unconscious with poison, then cut off the tip of his whip.

escaped.

When the father and son were carrying water and walking through a stream, they were immersed in the water. Zhang Si tried the medicine on his son and found that it had no effect. Soon the county government officials came to arrest them. It was the employee who woke up and reported the case.

, the police officers found some evidence from the two men, so "Zhang Siru" was arrested.

As for the Zhao San mentioned by Zhang Si, it is as hard to find as a needle in a haystack, and there is no follow-up to searching for the Jade Monk along Zhang Si's clues. But one thing is that Zhang's 41-year-old son disappeared like a puff of smoke.

The husband of Ji Xiaolan's eldest daughter was Lu Jianzeng's eldest son. Gao Heng's house was confiscated. Lu Jianzeng still had at least one son alive. He later won the imperial examination. He once served as county magistrate and had good political achievements, but he did not get involved in officialdom. He was 47 years old.

He retired and returned home.

Hongli was in Chengde when he captured the "first criminal" Zhang Siru. He repeatedly warned not to use torture, fearing that Zhang Siru would give in and beat him, and then ordered him to be secretly escorted to Chengde, two thousand miles away, north of the Great Wall, where he would interrogate him personally.

Georgiana suddenly raised her head.

"Is it raining?" John Brown, Mr. China Master, asked while touching his head.

"No," she said, staring at the roof of the tent, then looking at Bonaparte, "but I guess there are 'uninvited guests' coming."

Bonaparte waved behind him, and an officer came over and whispered to him.

"Enjoy your happiness." He held her waist and said affectionately, "Don't worry, everything has been arranged."

She looked back at the officer. The man walked to the corner of the tent and said something to Carolan Lestrange.

Then Georgiana ignored it.

"Do you know what this means?" She pointed her fan at him to express another meaning.

Brown might also understand the language, so he walked away with an ambiguous smile.

"I don't know, you can explain it to me." He said with a smile.

Georgiana suddenly didn't want him to become the kind of man who understood women very well.

She tapped his nose and said, "Play with your brothers."

She glanced at General Andre again, who seemed to be left out, "Did I cause him to lose his job?"

"You know, Spain still participated today. Guess how they came?"

Georgiana was extremely confused.

"Do you like today's mutton?" Bonaparte asked.

She recalled the grilled lamb chops she had just eaten.

"Those are the sheep from the Rambouillet model farm."

"Oh, I remember it." She exclaimed, "That's the Spanish Merino sheep."

"The sheep are delicious and good at producing wool." He said with a smile and suddenly kissed her.

This was what she meant by fanning her just now, and he obviously understood it.

But she didn't really like his smile before he kissed her. It made her feel like she was a sheep and he was a beast hunting her.
