Speaking of Song Qian, the third Duke of Dingguo, he is also a man with a story. They say that there are thieves in Shandong. There is some truth to this. For example, in the famous Shuibo Liangshan Mountains in history, although they all died miserably, it also established the excellent character of Shandong people who dared to fight, fight, and go to war if they were not convinced.
And Song Qian was born in Shuibo Liangshan. It is said that Song Qian was still a man of culture, well-spoken and knowledgeable. He was awarded the title of scholar at the age of fifteen. It may be that he offended Master Xuezheng because of his youth and arrogance. As a result, Xuezheng was in charge of education in Shandong. In the past few years, Song Qian has been losing his reputation. From being a talented boy to being unsuccessful now, Song Qian was full of confidence again and again, and now he is disappointed again and again, but Song Qian is like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang. , was knocked down again and again, and stood up again and again. His legs were not bent, his back was not hunched, and he could go up to the fifth floor without any problem. However, Song Qian was not a wealthy child. Going to school at that time was very expensive, just like now. Falling in love is the same as marrying a wife. Song Qian could only study hard and study by himself while working. You must know that there were not so many jobs in ancient times. Of course, if you have the strength, you can still find a job. It's just that Song Qian, like all scholars, only reads the books of sages and doesn't listen to what's going on outside the window. He can't carry it on his shoulders or carry it in his hands. Naturally, it's difficult for Song Qian to find a job, so Song Qian's life is difficult. It was very painful. My father, mother, younger brother, and younger sister were all struck down by disease and hunger. You must know that it was the last years of the Shun Dynasty. The government was incompetent and the government was corrupt. Naturally, no one was willing to give food and porridge, and many of them could not survive. People all went up the mountain to become bandits. After all, there was a tradition in that place that whoever gave him food was his boss. Song Qian also couldn't survive under such a great atmosphere and atmosphere, and finally went up the mountain to join the bandits.
As the saying goes, thieves also have their own principles. Although they are bandits, bandits also have their own principles. First, they do not kill, and second, they do not commit adultery. They only rob large households in the county or official warehouses. Ordinary people, they don't do anything wrong, and sometimes they will send them some food and clothes. Of course, you can also call this group of thieves.
Although bandits can eat delicious food and drink spicy food, after all, there is no guarantee of work, no salary, and they have to worry about the government's encirclement and suppression, and their lives are not guaranteed. Therefore, there are still many people who are unwilling to take risks and become bandits. There were even fewer bandits, so the generals were chosen among the cripples. In the end, the high position of secretary, a green forest hero, fell to Song Qian, the only talented man. You must know that people still respect scholars very much, so Song Qian He became the strategist of this gang of thieves, commonly known as the dog-headed strategist.
And Song Qian did not disappoint everyone. He directed several robberies and repelled several government sieges. Soon several groups of small bandits nearby came to seek refuge in order to protect themselves. The boss saw that Song Qian was capable. , also took the initiative to give in, Song Qian also gave some symbolic courtesy, and ascended to the position of bandit leader. Song Qian's power also became stronger and stronger. After all, he was a person who had read books and learned the art of war, so he was naturally much stronger than those who were just farmers before. Soon he annexed several places that did not understand the rules. bandit.
In less than ten years, Song Qian had become the largest and only group of bandits in the Shuibo Liangshan area. For the sake of local stability, the government made several attempts to recruit people but failed. In the end, they had no choice. For the benefit of the landlords and wealthy businessmen, the government could only send a large amount of food and money to Song Qian every month, with only one purpose, not to rob anymore. With food and drink, Song Qian naturally had no intention of robbing anymore. He concentrated on opening up wasteland and farming in the village, grasping production, and training the bandits, because he knew that storms were coming, and only strong people could survive in this troubled world. . Otherwise, people should study hard. Those who have read think farther than ordinary people. When they climb to the heights of temples, they worry about their people, and when they are far away from the rivers and lakes, they worry about their kings.
Later, Zhu Xiluo went to Liangshan to develop his power. After all, the Shandong Han Dynasty still had a deep impression on Zhu Xiluo. Who would have thought that Zhu Xiluo brought several of his men to Liangshan, but they were kidnapped by the bandits before they could contact the bandit leader. , well, they are really tied up, three horizontally and three vertically, one at the waist, and tied with ropes, just like the way to tie a pig during the New Year.
Looking at Zhu Xiluo, who has a fat head and big ears, a handsome face, and is also wearing silk and satin, he looks like a rich and evil landlord who does all kinds of evil and bullies his tenants. This time Song Qian also has a big appetite, and the ransom is 10,000 taels, and he must be an official. Silver, after all, official silver has relatively few impurities.
Or else, in those troubled times, there were many people who were richer, more talented, and more handsome than Zhu Xiluo. But why was it that the successful person and the person who became the ruler of the world was Zhu Xiluo? When he was born, There was no wind, no thunder, and no purple stars lingering above his mother's head. Zhu Xiluo's success is no accident. According to the research of some historians in later generations, they have come to the conclusion that Zhu Xiluo has a personal charm that no one else has. He is very eloquent. To put it simply, he is a fool. I don't know how Zhu Xiluo is. The deceiver, after staying in the village for only two days, actually deceived Song Qian into a daze. He almost drank chicken blood and paid homage to him. He even asked for the ransom, and even included himself and all the people under him. Gave it to Zhu Xiluo.
Fortunately, Zhu Xiluo did not treat Qian Song badly. The new dynasty was established, and Song Qian also became Duke Ding, one of the four major princes of the Ming Empire. The only regret was that Song Qian had no children in his life, and Zhu Xiluo also selected countless women for him. But even if he had no children, there were three types of unfilial piety, the worst of which was not having children. This was also the pain of Song Qian's life.
The next one is naturally the last duke, Qian Song, Qian Guogong, well, it is said that Zhu Xiluo asked Qian Song what kind of official position he wanted to have as a duke. As a result, Qian Song wanted to kill Qian Guogong. After all, money is a good thing.
To say that the most educated person in the Ming Dynasty is naturally Hao Liande, the eunuch in charge of the royal horse. He is the number one talent. However, Qian Song's cultural level is not low, and he is only one place behind Hao Liande. The second place is - -Tanhua, and she is still a few years ahead of Hao Liande. According to the rules of scholars, Hao Liande still has to call Qian Song senior.
Compared with Hao Liande's family, Qian Song's family is still very poor like most scholars. After all, only by studying and gaining fame can he change his poverty situation. Of course, Qian Song's parents did not starve to death because he didn't know who his parents were or where he came from. He didn't know whether his parents were poor, because his mistress was pregnant, or because he was a primary school student eating secretly. , after giving birth to him, he was thrown in front of Baihualou. Well, everyone guessed it right. Baihualou is a brothel, with one leg at a time, a place where men spend money and women make money.
He was adopted by a woman. Although Qian Song didn't like his godmother's profession, she was still very grateful for the way she raised him. However, the woman was old and yellow, so naturally no one wanted to Spending money on such a woman would result in very little income, but the food could still satisfy Qian Song. Qian Song also lived a carefree life for several years. He never thought that the woman would eventually get sick and die. I have been in the skin and flesh business all my life, but in ancient times there were no condoms. Bacteria thrived, and the level of customers was not high. There were old men who farmed the land, and there were also high-ranking and upright officials. They could not all be clean and bathe every day. Ancient medicine was not that developed either. All kinds of diseases can be cured, but in the end the woman's organs festered and she died. The woman was hastily buried, and Qian Song became an orphan again.
At a young age, Qian Song knew that the only way to change his destiny was to study. There was a house of gold in the book, and white rice in the water. He had no money to study, so Qian Song secretly went to the school to steal food while begging for food. Listening to the teacher's lecture, I saw that Qian Song's clothes were in tatters, but he was very eager to learn. The teacher did not drive him away. In this way, Qian Song began his secret study career. Fortunately, God will favor those who work hard. Successive counties Although Qian Song's ranking was not very high in both the examination and the government examination, Qian Song was able to pass at the bottom every time. It must be said that Qian Song was very lucky.
Until the last exam, Qian Song was a blockbuster and got second place. In fact, the first place belonged to Qian Song. The blame was on Qian Song's appearance. Qian Song was a bit ugly. Knowing that every dynasty and generation is a society based on appearance, Emperor Shun saw that this boy was so ugly, how could he be number one? Didn't this lower the overall appearance of the Shun Dynasty, so with a stroke of a pen, Qian Song became The second place, the first place was given to a handsome boy. Of course, Emperor Shun still cherishes talents and did not kick Qian Song out of the top ten. From this, it can be seen that Hao Liande can get the number one pick. He is definitely a young man. It is a pity that he was castrated. Yes, if you get involved in the entertainment industry, you can definitely attract countless fans, ranging from ninety-nine to beauties who have just learned how to walk. Of course, men with special quirks are also possible.
Although he was ranked second, according to common sense, Qian Song could stay in the Hanlin Academy to gain seniority, and it would be possible for him to join the cabinet and become the prime minister in the future. However, because he was poor and had no money to give gifts, the gifts he received were night-time pearls as big as duck eggs. , red coral as big as the table, and a few boxes of gold and silver at the end, but Qian Song was good. He went to the Ministry of Personnel carrying celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan and bacon, and it was only half a catty. This is the rhythm of apprenticeship, I don’t know. Some people thought that some of the officials in the official department had wives and concubines who gave birth to children. The result was naturally unsatisfactory. Qian Song did not get a good official position, so he was sent to Liangshan and became a county magistrate. And it just so happens that it is Liangshan County.
However, Qian Song still had some talents, and he was also very good at governing the place. Although he did not pick up things on the road and did not close the house at night, the lives of the people did improve. Although it was very small, the number of people starving to death was much less. According to the officialdom According to the rules, a prostitute who has been outside for three years can come to Beijing to report on his work, and Qian Song was also very effective in governing the place. But still because he was poor and had no money to give gifts, Qian Song seemed to be forgotten. He stayed in Liangshan County for ten years. It was not until he went to the mountains to suppress bandits and was captured by the bandits that Qian Song ended his hard work for the Shun Dynasty. , dedicated life.
What is even more distressing is that when Qian Song was arrested, the court did not take any rescue measures and immediately sent another official to serve as Liangshan County Magistrate. Qian Song's Liangshan County Magistrate became a thing of the past and became an ordinary person. Common people.
Qian Song was heartbroken. He was so dedicated to his career and worked so hard for the Ming Empire that he never thought that he would be abandoned in the end. There is no greater sadness than heartbreak, and Qian Song was completely disappointed with the Dashun Dynasty.
It is estimated that there is some destiny that the leader of the thieves who kidnapped Qian Song was Song Qian. Song Qian also respected Qian Song, a good official who cared for the people, and did not beat or scold him. As long as he stayed in the village honestly, he would be fine. There are no restrictions on Qian Song's personal freedom. He can go in and out of any place in the village without anyone stopping him. Soon Qian Song was also attracted by the orderly, warm and harmonious environment in the village, and simply joined the bandits' team. Song Qian also joined Zhu Xiluo's team. Qian Song had the talent of being the top scholar, and Song Qian was not jealous. On the contrary, Qian Song's talent was highly recommended. In the years of following Zhu Xiluo, he also made outstanding achievements repeatedly and won the title of Qian Guogong. He also got the most prestigious position in the Ming Empire, the Minister of Household Affairs.
