Tu Hai and Xue Zhang have read all seventy-three poems included in the "Collection of Poems by Ren Zike Gongshi". It includes Zhu Heji's "Prison Poems" and the "Examination Poems" written by the first to the 72nd placers in the examination, but the poems written by the tribute scholars after the 72nd place are not included.
However, these seventy-three poems were enough to make Tu Hai and Xue Zhang deeply worried about the future and fate of the Qing Dynasty.
Because the seventy-three poems are all of top quality that can be handed down from generation to generation - of course they are of top quality. They are all written by famous writers, including Tan Sitong, Gong Zizhen, Xu Xilin, Qiu Jin, Lu Xun, and Qu Dajun. There are also those from Master Nalan Xingde and Master Hongyi. Although not every article is full of murderous spirit, they are all works that can be passed down from generation to generation. Almost every article has good sentences that can be passed down to future generations.
People who can write such poems undoubtedly have excellent literary accomplishments, and it is almost impossible for them to be cultivated by a small family... This is not a peaceful world where literary style flourishes, and these can Most of the scholars who participated in the Guangzhou Pseudo-Hong Kong Examination grew up in the troubled times between the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In the turbulent times of war, those who can still receive a good literary education must be rich or noble!
Most of the talented people who succeeded in the fake association examination were Cantonese and Fujianese. Behind these dozens of great talents from Guangdong and Fujian, there must be dozens or even hundreds of powerful families!
Thinking of this, Tu Hai no longer had the time to study poetry, so he waved his hand and wanted to send Zhou Peigong and Fu Honglie away.
Zhou Peigong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up and leave.
But Fu Honglie and Fu Fool refused to leave because he had more important things to report.
"Zhongtang, take a look at this again..." Fu Honglie took out a few more thread-bound booklets at this time and raised his hands above his head.
Although Tu Hai was not in the mood to read, he still reached out and took it. He glanced at the cover of the top book and frowned: "Great justice? What great justice?"
As he spoke, he started flipping through the book driven by curiosity.
At first glance, Tu Hai's old face was livid. While looking at it, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "It's reversed, it's reversed... it's all reversed!"
Xue Zhang on the side heard this strangely, "Zhongtang, what are you talking about? They are rebels!"
"Hmph!" Tu Hai snorted coldly and handed the "Dayi" that he had read hastily to Xue Zhang, "Xue Tixue, you can see for yourself...the fake third prince Zhu and the fake third wife Zhu Sun Yat-sen not only wants to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, but also rebel against Confucianism!"
"Rebel against Confucianism? Oh, it's the original Confucianism... It's okay if you don't read it!" Xue Zhang didn't dare to take the book from Tu Hai's hand, so he quickly retracted his paws.
He doesn't actually need to read Zhu Heji's book to know what this guy is doing? He came from a serious imperial examination background. How could he know what was in this hodgepodge of Confucianism?
Moreover, he was a "Confucian scholar in troubled times". When he was a child, his hometown in the south of the Yangtze River was ravaged by the Qing army. Many elders in his family died in the national calamity. Some were massacred, and some joined the anti-Qing rebel army and became soldiers. Loyal and loyal. When he began to embark on the road of examination promotion, he encountered major cases such as the "Zhuang Tingqin Ming History Case", the "Crying Temple Case", the "Memorial Cancellation Case" and the "Tonghai Case". With such an experience, he would of course be particularly interested in the "killing Confucians" part of the Confucian hodgepodge... He even dreamed of being able to hold a long sword, defend the road, and eliminate rebels. One day.
But as he became successful in the exams, entered the official career, became a dog official, and understood the power of the emperor's grace... those dreams eventually turned into nothingness.
But when he saw those things, he would inevitably have empathy. It would be bad if his true feelings were revealed and Tu Hai could figure out the clues.
Moreover, he is someone who knows how powerful the Qing Dynasty’s literary inquisition is, and he also knows how to protect himself. The best way to avoid being implicated in the Literary Inquisition is not to read what you shouldn't know, not to know what you shouldn't know, not to interrogate what you shouldn't interrogate, and not to investigate what you shouldn't investigate.
Although Emperor Kangxi had already asked him to find out Yuan Ru, he did not get involved in this matter at all after arriving in Guangdong.
Not bad!
When Tu Hai saw Xue Zhang's behavior, he could only sigh. He couldn't blame him for shrinking his paws. He was a Han! It is possible to have a "Ming History Case" but not an "Original Confucian Case"?
He then glanced at his confidant Zhou Peigong, who was also timid at the sight! It seems that we cannot expect him to go to Beijing with the evidence of the "Yuan Confucian Case" and present it to the emperor... Don't be scared away by then, as this will be difficult to explain.
In the end, Tu Hai set his sights on Fu Honglie. Fu is a fool! Of course he doesn't know how to die.
"Fu Honglie," Tu Hai said, "This time you went deep into the tiger's den to find out the enemy's situation, and you have done the most great service. I will report to the court to ask for credit for you!"
"Thank you, General!" Fu Honglie really didn't know how to die. He thanked Tuhai immediately, and then reported two major events that made Tuhai feel like drawing a sword and killing him.
"General, the common people have found out two major things this time!" Fu Honglie said, "It turns out that King Pingnan Jing and Duke An are not dead! Among them, King Pingnan Jing was even a prisoner, and Duke An was leading thousands of Loyal soldiers are guarding Xinhui for the imperial court... The fake Zhu San Taisun once publicly announced that he would send troops to attack Xinhui when the fake imperial examination is over!"
Knife... where's the knife? Tu Hai was looking for his saber before Fu Honglie finished speaking!
But before he could find the knife to chop people with, there were soldiers outside reporting: "General, Princess Dingnan is here to visit."
Come on, we can’t kill people and silence them!
There was no way Tu Hai could kill her people when Kong Sizhen came to visit. Kong Sizhen was a confidant of the Empress Dowager!
But it doesn’t matter if she comes, she will be responsible for her fool, whether to kill or keep him, it’s up to her!
...
The air in the second hall of the general's residence was almost solid.
Dingnan General Sun Yanling has now returned to Zhaoqing to reorganize the army, but Heshuo Dingnan Princess Kong Sizhen did not go back with him, but stayed in Shaozhou in order to communicate in time with Ningnan Jingkou General Tu Hai.
Kong Sizhen heard that Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong had returned to Shaozhou, so he came to the general's camp. He wanted to hear what his master Fu Honglie had discovered in Guangzhou. If she has merit, she can also make the decision for Fu Fool, lest the credit be taken away by Tu Hai's master Zhou Peigong.
But I didn't expect that once Fu Honglie and Fu Fool took action, this hornet's nest would never be smaller!
In fact, it was enough for Fu Honglie to bring back a collection of poems and a list of fake tributes. With this credit and Kong Sizhen's words of kindness, it was possible for him to be reinstated.
But this fool didn't know what to do, and brought back so many evidence of "literary prison"... And that's not all, he also brought back the news that Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixin were not dead.
Kong Sizhen knew that if he had not arrived in time, Tu Hai would have silenced Fu Honglie.
But now that he is here, he cannot let fool Fu die.
Thinking of this, she sighed leisurely and said: "Idiot Fu is a fool, but the Nu family is not a fool? Lord Tu, our Qing Dynasty needs some fools... and there are not many of these fools anymore. Oh, it’s silly to think that rare is valuable!”
Well, you are all foolish enough to value the rareness!
This time Tuhai could not silence Fu Honglie.
What to do?
Tu Hai had no idea and could only look at Kong Sizhen "silly".
Kong Sizhen said: "The slave family has the right to report matters secretly. The matters concerning the former Confucian scholars and Prince Nan and his son should be reported by the slave family alone...Tuzhongtang and Xue Tixue should just pretend they don't know about it."
With the Empress Dowager protecting Kong Sizhen, Emperor Kangxi could not do anything about her, "Fool Kong"! Therefore, she can only take the blame for these two crimes.
She went on to say: "Let Fu fool take the secret folder of the slave family, as well as the collection of poems and those books to Beijing!"
Tu Hai and Xue Zhang both breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this stage was over. But then Kong Sizhen said something else: "The hall in the picture... If the slave family reported that my father-in-law was still resisting in Xinhui, we wouldn't be able to just watch Xinhui being raped by the fake Mrs. Zhu." Will Sun break through?"
