Chapter 2139 Flower Struggle (Forty-Seven)

There is Prince Pingxi's Mansion in Changping County to the north of BJ City. Speaking of Prince Pingxi, many people may immediately think of Wu Sangui. He once defeated Li Zicheng, the king of Shanhaiguan, in the battle of Shanhaiguan. He also launched the "San Francisco" because he was dissatisfied with the withdrawal of the vassal by the imperial court.

chaos".

However, Wu Sangui was guarding Yunnan and Guizhou. The Pingxi Palace he built was in Wuhua Mountain in Kunming. This place originally belonged to Mu Ying, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty. Although his title was Marquis, he was deeply loved by the people because he was the only one in charge of the southwest, and he was generous in governing.

, his mansion was still "violated" by the people and built as a royal palace, and it was not until the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty that it fell into the hands of Wu Sangui.

It was already a palace, but King Pingxi still felt that the layout of this palace was too small to show his prestige, so he spent a lot of money to continuously expand it and decorated it with precious building materials and rare flowers and plants, making it extremely luxurious.

Yunnan is rich in copper mines and is another important supplier besides Japan. Chen Hongmou once managed the copper mines during his tenure in Yunnan. When Chen Hongmou arrived, there were about 200 schools in Yunnan, but most of them were not functioning.

While revitalizing these existing schools, we also used the power of local elites to create many schools. In principle, there was no distinction between Han and other ethnic groups.

As the number of schools increased, more teachers were needed. Chen Hongmou was a top-ranking scholar in the first year of Yongzheng's reign. He was the second ruler of the Song Dynasty and studied under Zhu Xi. He was originally from Hunan and moved to Guangxi to escape the war. His first teacher was his brother, a private school nearby.

He was also half farming and half teaching. Soon he felt that the people around him had nothing to teach him, so he began to stop doing his job and play with the children in the village.

His eldest brother felt that he could no longer control him, so he found a teacher for him, Yang Jiaxiu, who also read poetry and books but failed many times.

In the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign, the provincial examination was held in Shuntian Prefecture, the capital. Huang Zhang, a Gongsheng student from Guangdong in Beijing, took the examination. However, Huang Zhang was already a hundred years old. When he entered the examination room, he asked his grandson to hold a lantern in front of him to guide him, and wrote "A hundred years old to watch the field."

”.

Whether he passed the exam or not, or whether he could become an official was no longer important to Huang Zhang. He just "watched the situation." There was also a famous scholar named Jiang Chenying. In the early Qing Dynasty, he went to the National History Museum as a commoner to compile the history of the Ming Dynasty.

But he never had a subject name. Kangxi highly praised Jiang Chenying's articles. Every time the imperial examination results were released, he would be asked if he had passed the exam this time. It was not until the 27th year of Kangxi, when Jiang Chenying was 70 years old, that he won the top prize.

There is more than one unlucky person who has failed in many tests. Like Pu Songling and Yang Jiaxiu, many people have become other people's tutors midway, reading and writing while teaching.

Chen Hongmou was just like Juren. He happily took part in the children's examination and thought he would win the exam. However, he unexpectedly failed in his studies and was not admitted. After some painful experience, he began to study seriously and took the county examination again four years later.

The fourth place result became a student in Yichu.

Yichen students had to pay for teaching, but Chen Hongmou came from a poor family and almost dropped out of school. With Yang Jiaxiu's encouragement, he continued to study hard and became a Linshan student, and he could enjoy the monthly food subsidy provided by the government.

Compared with him, his education experience was much smoother. He was also a Linshan student, but his family background was pretty good and he didn't need this subsidy. His father, the county magistrate, taught him a lot, so he gave up this place.

" came out, so that students like Chen Hongmou could "fill" the vacant spot.

Having more friends makes life easier. He failed in the imperial examination for the first time. His family and friends did not ridicule him, but helped him regain his confidence and try again another year.

Many things cannot be achieved by wishful thinking. It is like having completed all the test questions and you think you can perform well. Why can't you pass the test?

Chen Hongmou asked Yang Jiaxiu this question, and Yang Jiaxiu told him that it is like a performance on a stage. The singers all think they are doing well, but whether it is good or not depends on the people watching the theater and the foreman who is in charge of the actors.

Calculate it.

Chen Hongmou should have realized some truth when he heard these words for the first time, just like Juren himself, or Guo Xuexian who heard about this "Dragon Gate Formation" for the first time, but each of them chose different methods to deal with it. Chen Hongmou

He decided to continue his apprenticeship and study hard, while Juren decided to study abroad and see the world, "reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles".

The Pingxi Prince's Mansion in BJ was also very luxurious. It is said that there was a well in the house, and the walls of the well were plated with copper, so it was called the "Copper Well", but that was not Wu Sangui's residence.

Qianlong's name was Aixinjueluo Hongli. His father was the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, the eldest elder brother was named Yinti, and the second elder brother of the prince was Yinreng. It can be seen that the men of the Aixinjueluo family had the same name in the same generation.

It must be the same.

The prince had a son named Hongxi. According to the eldest son inheritance system, his succession to the throne was higher than that of Hongli, and he was Kangxi's favorite grandson.

Kangxi personally taught many of the emperor's grandchildren to read, and they were all treated equally. Except for Hongxi, the other princes lived outside the palace. Only Hongxi was raised in the palace, and BJ's Pingxi Palace was the only one outside the city, not in the palace.

The royal palace in the city.

The prince lived in this palace after he was deposed for the second time, as did the emperor's grandson. At that time, it was still called Prince Li's palace.

After Zhu Yuanzhang died, the throne was passed to his grandson Zhu Yunwen instead of King Zhu Di of Yan.

There is a white stone horse at the entrance of Prince Li's Palace, which was given to Hongxi by Emperor Yongzheng. Generally, there is a stone lion at the entrance of the palace. The lion represents bravery. The characteristics of the horse are docile and obedient. It takes two days to walk from Prince Li's Palace to the Forbidden City.

Hours, this means that Hong Xi has to get up at five o'clock every day, which is even worse than when the other princes are studying.

Of course, he could not go and stay in the prince's palace to enjoy the glory and wealth, but Hongxi was never late during the entire Yongzheng Dynasty.

The process of Qianlong's succession to the throne was not smooth sailing. In the fourth year of Qianlong's reign, he warmed up the dragon chair, and Qianlong removed Hongxi from his title. He moved from Prince Li's Mansion to Jingshan, where he went to see the orchards with Emperor Chongzhen.

.

If Wu Sangui was willing to be a free king and enjoy the glory and wealth in the "Imperial Palace" of Yunnan, he might have a good death.

It is a pity that he actively mined mines, minted copper coins, and developed trade with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

After the pacification of San Francisco, the Pingxi Palace on Wuhua Mountain was demolished by Fan Chengxun, the newly appointed governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Of course, these precious materials could not be wasted and were used to repair Taihua Temple, which was destroyed during the war.

As for how Prince Li's Mansion became Prince Pingxi's Mansion, it may be a misunderstanding among the people who misunderstood "Pingxi" as "Pingxi".

Chen Hongmou's development of Tongshan was not directly promoted by the government, but improved the conditions for investment by merchants and introduced investment. This made Yunnan's copper production increase by leaps and bounds, and no longer needed to rely on Japanese copper. Even though Japan's exports to China changed from copper to

Seafood is not affected either.

Due to his outstanding political achievements, when Chen Hongmou's parents passed away, Yongzheng did not let him go back to observe filial piety.

Guo Xuexian asked Juren to go back, but he did not come back after observing filial piety. Guo Xuexian also expressed his understanding. Many people were forced to become pirates. If there were other ways to choose, they would not choose this way.

The big ship sent Nick to a remote place. Before leaving, Guo Xuexian's men left him some copper coins, as if to provide him with transportation expenses on the road. Then the sailor with his head wrapped in a black turban rowed away in the boat.

At this time, Nick remembered a saying that a person's merits and demerits can be offset. The moral points he accumulated can compensate for the points he committed evil. It is precisely because he paid off the debt of one-third of his life, so

When he was sick, he would come across a church that provided free treatment and rescue.

He still wants to accumulate virtue and pay the debt for the remaining two-thirds of his life. So how did he owe the debt for that life in the first place?

After all, he was an unarmed scholar wearing shabby clothes.
