Fang Yizhi was secretly named Zhi, and he was from Tongcheng, Anqing Prefecture, South Zhili.
In history, Fang Yizhi first fled to Nanjing after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and then defected to Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui.
After being framed and dismissed by the eunuch Wang Kun, he became disheartened and became a monk, secretly organizing the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.
In the 10th year of Kangxi's reign, he was implicated in the Zhiyue case and was arrested. He died of gangrene on the ship on the way to Guangdong.
The nature of the Guangdong case cannot be verified due to its long history and incomplete information. According to the existing information, there are theories of conspiracy and implication, the theory of literary imprisonment, and the theory of denouncement by enemies.
Speaking of literal inquisition...
In fact, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a chance to lead the world, or not fall behind.
But the Manchu Literary Prison completely obliterated this possibility.
The literary inquisition began in the Shunzhi period and ended in the Qianlong period. In more than 140 years, more than 160 literary inquisition cases occurred with a relatively large scope.
This created a pitiable situation where thousands of horses were waiting in silence. ?.?????.???
The victim of the first literary prison case was Zhang Jinyan, who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. There was a sentence in his article that "the talents who will make a difference".
Shunzhi saw something wrong and ordered his arrest and imprisonment. His property was confiscated and Ning Guta was exiled.
Someone has counted that the number of literary prisons in the Manchu Qing Dynasty was more than the total number of other dynasties!
During this period, countless people were killed and convicted, and countless people were affected.
It has truly protected the people's mouths more than the rivers!
Under the influence of the Literary Prison, thoughtful scholars in the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not dare to enter the court as officials.
After all, if Qingfeng is illiterate, thousands of people will be killed by randomly flipping through books. Those maverick scholars can only hide at home to study and write books.
This is the case with Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi, Fang Yizhi and others.
Of course.
Even if they could become officials in the imperial court, they would not go.
Although these people have thoughts in their hearts, they cannot spread them.
Even if it can be spread, no one will learn it, because they have never been officials, and they have never taught students who will be officials.
In that era, people were proud to serve in the imperial court.
If you want to spread your ideas, you must become a high-ranking official in the court, or teach some students who will become high-ranking officials.
...
Looking at Fang Yizhi who was in a daze, Fan Jingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, pushed his shoulder: "Your Majesty is asking you something!"
After Fang Yizhi calmed down, his eyes were full of doubts.
Of course he understood Chongzhen's question and knew the answer.
But he always felt that the answer in his heart was wrong.
Out of respect for Chongzhen, Fang Yizhi replied slowly: "Your Majesty, the reason why snow falls is the same as that of water flowing downwards."
"Then why does the water flow downwards?"
Fang Yizhi replied with a serious face: "I think the truth recorded in "Mo Jing·Jing Shuo Part 1" is correct. "Jing Shuo Part 1" has a record saying: Strength means heavy. Lower and heavy means excitement. "
The general meaning of this sentence is that the weight of an object is caused by gravity. The object falls under the action of gravity and accelerates at the same time.
Chongzhen smiled faintly: "Then...do you know where this force toward the ground comes from?"
This question stumped Fang Yizhi.
yes...
There is a downward force, but where does this force come from?
Looking at the silent and thoughtful Fang Yizhi, Chongzhen knew that his goal had been achieved.
