The man who rushed in to report to Huang Zongxi the arrival of Fan Chengmo's troops was named Wan Sitong. He was a disciple of Huang Zongxi and one of the famous Eight Dragons of the Wan family in eastern Zhejiang. The Baiyun Village where Huang Zongxi now lives and runs the Witness Academy is Wanjia’s industry.
After the fall of the Hongguang Dynasty in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Huang Zongxi once organized 600 rebel troops in his hometown to fight against the Qing Dynasty. He also served as the head of the Staff Department of the Ministry of War under Lu Jianguo, and once led troops to attack Zhapu. Later, he hid in the Siming Mountains to "fight guerrillas" with some other anti-Qing heroes. Later he served as the left deputy censor of Lu Jianguo, and together with Ruan Mei and Feng Jingdi, he went to Japan to borrow troops and went to Changchun. Qi.
Later, Lu Jianguo's anti-Qing cause was completely disheartened, and Huang Zongxi was also disheartened. He no longer persisted in resisting the Qing Dynasty. Instead, he set up lectures in Cixi, Shaoxing, Ningbo, Haining and other places. At the same time, he wrote "Ming Yi". These two works are enough to establish his status as a great Confucian.
In the sixth year of Kangxi's reign, Huang Zongxi, who had completed the "Records of Interviews with Ming Yi", reopened the Witness Academy founded by Liu Zongzhou in Baiyunzhuang, Ningbo with the support of his disciples, and began to promote his thoughts and ideas in the cracks of the literary prison. ...And such an academy that does not study eight-legged essays carefully and spends all day studying "Ming" and "Yi" is of course the focus of the Zhejiang government.
If anyone could arrest Huang Zongxi as the chief culprit of the Literary Prison, that would be a great achievement.
Therefore, when Fan Chengmo was the governor of Zhejiang last time, he had already sorted out the dirty information about Huang Zongxi and planned to execute him late.
But before he could report this material, Kangxi sent a court order asking him to find trouble for Zhuge's descendants, and also asked him to find "Zhuge's Suicide Notes"... Now Fan Chengmo did not dare to tell Huang Zongxi's The black material was reported to the higher authorities.
Master Fan knows the thoughts of his masters very well - the master asked you to find the "Zhuge Suicide Note". If you can't find it, you are incompetent! But what would the master think if he could find a copy of "The Record of Visits to Mingyi" and hand it in?
It's useless to do all the business assigned by the master all day long if you can't handle it well!
So Huang Zongxi escaped unintentionally.
Later, Fan Chengmo went to Fujian again. Although he returned to Zhejiang as governor not long after, he did not wait for him to send troops to capture Huang Zongxi...Kangxi was beheaded and the news that the Qing Dynasty was about to end spread overnight. All over Zhejiang.
How can Fan Chengmo still think about setting up a literary prison now? The Qing Dynasty is about to be gone, and then he himself will be a rebel hiding in Tibet. How can he deal with others? Maybe Huang Zongxi is here to deal with him!
Just when Fan Chengmo was about to run away, the emperor's most trusted Eunuch Gui finally came to Hangzhou from Jiangning, bringing with him Kangxi's imperial mail and a "list of heroes". Kangxi first explained the truth about "Beheading will not kill you" in the imperial mail, and then asked Fan Chengmo to invite people according to the list, and then personally escort them to Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing-that is, Jiangning Mansion. After Kangxi arrived in Jiangning, he issued an edict and announced that Jiangning Mansion would be renamed Yingtian Mansion and became Nanjing of the Qing Dynasty, with a status equal to Shengjing outside the Pass.
After seeing Eunuch Gui and reading Kangxi's autographed imperial mail, Fan Chengmo finally let go of his worries, so he cheered up and went about his errands for Emperor Kangxi.
And the number one on the "hero list" that Emperor Kangxi asked Eunuch Gui to bring was Huang Zongxi!
Such a great hero cannot be allowed to run away...
"Don't panic, now is not the time to launch a literary inquisition... Prince Zhu San and Wu Sangui are both trying to win heroes from all over the world to work for them. No matter how stupid Kangxi is, he will not set up a literary inquisition at this time."
Huang Zongxi heard that Baiyun Village was besieged, but he did not panic at all. He smiled and said to the eighteen disciples in front of him: "In these troubled times, the world is divided into three parts. It is the time for heroic men to make contributions. You have gained my knowledge, and When you are in your prime, it is time to go out to serve Mingjun. You can go to Jiugong Mountain with the "Records of Visits to Mingyi" and "Liu Shu" written by you as a teacher. As for whether you want to serve as an official in the Ming Dynasty or Wu Sangui, you can decide for yourself. Eighteen people, how about nine on each side?"
"Teacher, what about you..." Wan Sitong asked hurriedly, "We are all gone, what will you do?"
Huang Zongxi smiled and said: "As a teacher, I will take "Records of Interviews with Ming Yi" to see Kangxi!"
...
Jiashan Temple, Shimen County, Lizhou, Hunan.
In a pavilion covered with white snow, an old monk who is tall, with broad shoulders, bulging cheekbones, a plump sky, a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, thick eyebrows and gray eyebrows, and a scar under his left eye is guarding a red mud The stove, sitting with legs crossed leisurely, looking at the flames on the stove for a while, and then looking at a big red invitation in hand. A pot of tea with mountain oxen is hot on the stove. The tea is fragrant and there is a vague sense of Zen in it.
This old monk's name is Fengtianyu. He is the abbot of Jiashan Temple and a rather mysterious figure.
He traveled here with a large group of his disciples in the early years of Shunzhi. He heard that Jiashan Temple, the imperial cultivator of the Three Dynasties, was looted and burned by the Qing soldiers. He felt it was a pity. So he approached Wei Shaofang, the then magistrate of Shimen County, and after some planning, he successfully "contracted" the Jiashan Temple, and then used an astronomical sum of "private savings" to repair the temple. Within a few years, there was a "large-scale jungle renovation", which not only "restored the old appearance", but also added many palaces and facilities. Unexpectedly, this Jiashan Temple became prosperous in one fell swoop. Its scale was far greater than before. It had nine halls and one palace, and it was said that it was necessary to "ride a horse to close the mountain gate."
It wouldn't be surprising if this kind of thing happened in a peaceful and prosperous age when there were too many rich people. Maybe the rich man was thinking about cultivating the afterlife?
But what was the situation like in the early years of Shunzhi? Not to mention the chaos of war, the population has dropped by seventy-eight percent, and everything is in ruins. There is such a wealthy monk... and he has not been robbed by bandits.
What's even more amazing is that this renovated Jiashan Temple has no interest in alms or anything else... it just lives its life in the mountains. I don’t know how to maintain such a large temple with so many monks?
In addition, Shimen County is located in western Hunan and has been a place with many bandits since ancient times. Rich temples in the mountains such as Jiashan Temple should have been the favorite places for bandits to visit.
But I don’t know why, but Jiashan Temple has not been disturbed by bandits since it was rebuilt!
How could a magical Jiashan Temple gradually develop into a famous temple, and the great monk Fengtianyu was of course an eminent monk.
And this very tall, fierce-looking eminent monk doesn’t like to deal with ordinary people. He never goes down the mountain to perform rituals for people. People who come up the mountain to visit usually don’t see him... Even if dignitaries come up the mountain, he If the old man is missing, he is missing!
Over time, this great monk Fengtian Jade became famous... Firstly, he did not need money, secondly, he did not want to see officials, and thirdly, he was not afraid of thieves. What does this mean? This shows that they have real magic!
Therefore, more dignitaries came here because of its reputation!
So much so that Wu Sangui, who took over Jingzhou, knew his name, so he was included in his hero post.
"Master," a short monk, about sixty years old, was standing next to the great monk Fengtianyu and said in a low voice, "You don't want to go down the mountain for a walk, do you?"
The great monk Fengtianyu sighed and said: "My career will go with the flow, and I will wake up from the dream in the Zen room with the green mountains... I would like to offer you some advice. I have been hiding here for more than 20 years. Shouldn't I go to Jiugong Mountain for a walk?" Huh? Well, this life will only end at Jiugong Mountain, and for the next twenty years, he will be nothing more than a walking corpse."
The little monk wanted to say something more, but the great monk Fengtianyu added: "When I close my eyes these days, I see the good brothers of the past, and I think of the happy days when we were fighting and fighting in all directions... ..So many years have passed, and the time has passed, but I just want to see the people who dominate the world now. It’s time to clear up the lost ones! It was such a good time, but it’s a pity that they are no longer here. It’s all their fault. Uh, uh, he’s not a real hero! But uh, I just want to take a look at that stage where the world is competing for success, I just want to take a look at it again!”
