Qing Dynasty Secret History

Chapter 36 Criticism

It is said that after listening to Gaozong's words, the empress dowager asked, "Where are you going?"

Gao Zongdao: "The house in Xiyuan is still clean, ask someone to tidy it up, and it will be fine."

The Empress Dowager said: "Alright."

So Xiyuan was specially opened, and the two palaces were stationed.That night, Emperor Gaozong hanged people with objects, and shed a few passionate tears.

Returning to the palace the next day, it was already noon, and the chief eunuch presented a form.When Emperor Gaozong looked at it, it turned out that it was the completion of the "Imperial Criticism of Past Dynasties Tongjian Collection" and the official president Fu Heng and others.His article said: He was originally a lecturer of Jingyan, a bachelor of the Taibao Baohedian, a first-class loyal and brave man, and also in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the affairs of the Sanku. Fu Heng, Consul of the Military Command, Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, etc., compiled by imperial order (Imperial Criticism of Past Dynasties Tongjian Collection) was completed. I would like to present the table to those who are motivated, if Heng is sincere and frightened, Jishou suddenly said that I am the emperor: Fagu Suiyou, Youwen Chenghua, studying Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun, studying rituals and music to wait for the king of hundreds of generations. There is Xia in the prison and Yin in the prison, and the balance is used to determine the unity of the middle school. The history of the [-] schools in the past dynasties is published, and the text is incorrect; Ji Shengguo's [-]-year-old book is compiled along the main continuation. The extensive revision is based on the old classics, and there is nothing left to learn from it; , refers to thousands of words and tens of thousands, the compilation is established, and it is taught to Shui Chui. The original husband was in the past, there was Bang Ruo Shiji Gu, and because of the text, he used the cloth to teach Danqing. cut.

Gaishi made his records, and he must understand the appropriateness of the choice, but in view of the past, there are indeed traces of right and wrong, and the chronicle is used to determine the style, especially the summary.Suishui's Biao Sui Ci Ci, which was originally compiled in the Han Dynasty.Ziyang's list of outlines and subheads refers to the origin of Lu Shu.He passed on to Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and he also wrote about it.However, Nianxiang Yibu, unlike Xi's family, was born in Fangling, so don't ask Zhaogong in Jin Dynasty.The calligraphers of the combined book use the table as an example, and the handles are often chiseled.However, ridicule is useless, and the transmission of history and law is gradually lost.But in the middle of the pre-Ming Dynasty, there was another book on compilation, which had a certain scale.There are many refutations, Lu Yu misunderstood, following the obedient errors of the old documents, whether it is inappropriate or not, and let Zhan's words be incomplete.

When I sent a letter in a few days, I wanted to order a few minutes, because I paid the library to compile it, record Chen Guibiao, compile it for several years, collect all the books, give the green bamboo slips and get a good name in Zhaoxi, and use the imperial pills to express the essence from time to time.Tracing back from the sub-compilation and discussing the times, it is ready-made by cutting the collection.Fortunately, Rui judges all the details of the entries.

There is no reason to explain the theory of privilege.The text that has been deleted and fixed is really nothing to help the thin soil and the trickle. If you inherit the king of Su and copy the Yi code, you can explain that the way is feasible.Looking up to the holy ancestor and sharing the previous news, Kui Yiyi has no disagreement.Reveal its scriptures and methods, prepare the general purpose and provide a guidebook to show flexibility.

The old cases are complicated and not all follow the Shuo, use the policy greatly and use the slips for the small, if the net is in the net, the country is the latitude and the year is the classic, which refers to the palms.Judging right and wrong, the rope is hung to be accurate, and the beginning and the end are all inclusive. The recorded examples are very strict.It is appropriate to increase the number of things and save the text, and the speeches of knowledge and knowledge are different, so the distance is brief but the details are close.

Or separate notes for remarks, special books and attached books juxtaposed, or the final meaning of the scriptures, the book and the end of the matter should be published.The map of Yuyueyu, the second house of Xihe Judgment Chongyuan's actual examination of Xingjing.Zhifu and Wuwei's falsehood, "Guoyu" proves the source of gold from afar.According to the rumors that came out, it was dissected, and the contemporaries made an expedition to Mongolia, but it was special.Received the surname Cheng Ji, and even the pronunciation of the orthographic characters, the three Cangs were combined, and the names were distinguished by the interpretation.Five elegance and capital, all the quality and doubts, all of them live in the state, such as the school's enmity in Sao Ye.The meaning of the writing is as clear as that, and the style must be in the fur, and the ups and downs are ready.Qi Fu's orthodox and partial handling is especially related to the destiny of the people's hearts and destiny, that is, the good history has not been coordinated with the Grand Duke, and Qin Chen's decision is true.Gai Zitiyou dereliction of duty, Heng Yuan covered it up as literature.When he went to the Guangyue sub-district, he used slander to become a practice, and he called each other Fudaosuo, and he ridiculed each other for hiring a car, and his name had been demoted to Sun Chen.The sword that still wants to be extravagant and horizontally sharpened is always partial to the curve of selfishness.The capital in name is good, but the situation is like Bingzi's prophecy that Song Zuo followed the rivers and lakes and rested.According to Gengshen history, Yuanji and Saicao were in the same desolation, and it was possible that Jingyan continued to travel to the south, and even drove them away to the beginning of the northward migration.But the most holy rule, because of the heart, the case must be based on the name and the truth, and the year is cut to the boudoir position, which is extremely difficult for life, and the book is changed to the old article. There is nothing false in the internal words, which has never been published since ancient times. The meaning of meaning is suitable for this heart.When the Sheng Dynasty changed to jade, it should be engraved in the holy generation.In Huixin, the six dragons and the emperor are united, and they have already learned about Zhou Jiang, so they especially read the five horses in a hurry.

The small imperial court still only kept Xia Xun, who died in the yellow scarf in the north of Hebei, and the white edition of the big book Chunyue Sanshan was in Jiangdong, so he merged with the luck of King Fu.Divide into A and B, save the remnants, and the country is called Sijia, and it is attached to Fujian and Yunnan.Zhang Dian is both brilliant, and the purpose of the Spring and Autumn Period is right.Serving justice and being selfless, the emperor's affairs are completed, and written into a book, Yu Youyong promised.Unbiased and without party, it is training but doing.As far as the special pen is concerned, the whole book is unified and basic.At the end of the book of Jiannan, Emperor Su did not change the name of the reserve, the name of Shangdu still exists, and it is difficult to escape the usurpation of the Huai mansion.Following the example of Dr. Mang, he looked at Shicheng and wept Chu Gong coldly. He was named Zhou Pingzhang, and he was ashamed of Gaomiao.This Yi training is full of words, the outline is often famous and the teaching is great, so as to prevent the slightest from being subtle and consistent.Faith and reading are so expensive, it's like drawing a cone and drawing sand.Examining and observing people must be subtle, just like casting a tripod to image things.Gaiyang Huangyue is used to rule the world, and it is not God who can exercise its power.

But the members of the congregation are extremely attached to both ends, and the only sage can see its greatness.In the past, the general history of Lanling was full of prosperity and extravagance. In Zhenguan's "Book of Jin", there are only four praises for its conclusions.Yuan Can was recorded for counseling loyal ministers, and Chen Qiao was made up for Ning Ben's arranging extravagant events.He Guan's style has never been fixed. The law of calligraphy is Xuan's mirror, and the history and commentary are written by Yao's hand.The good persuade, but the evil fear, knowing that the gun is not empty words.Participate in the sky and experience it in people, and use the strategy to clarify the way.The book is composed of 120 volumes. It is perfect and contemptuous. It has a record of 500 years.The ministers and others are ashamed to learn, and they are only able to thank Yantong. They are ashamed of the five difficulties when they know their hometowns, and they have ten cases of rough hearing about the ancestors.Records of current affairs, records of daily life, willing to follow the class of left and right history.Bo Gong knows the past, and the king knows the present. It is difficult to join the ranks of great sages. He manipulates the goblet in Huguan, divides the toilets into rows, inherits and executes the bamboo slips compiled by Yulin, and is fortunate to be invited for appraisal.Ruo Gaotao knows the word "Zan Neng Zanhu" after seeing it, and it will be honored for thousands of years.From then on, he became famous as the vice-president of Shanzang, appointed the historian of hundreds of schools, and was more pleased with the completion of the publication of the secret hall, explaining the essentials of Yisi's transmission of the heart.The ministers and others looked up to the sky and worshiped the Holy Spirit, and were eager to screen the camp.I would like to respectfully advance to hear.

After watching it, Emperor Gaozong was suddenly happy, and wanted to write a preface. He asked the eunuch to hold the four treasures of the study, polished the ink, and picked up the pen. I had to ask the eunuch to clean it up.The next day, when He Shen came to see him, Emperor Gaozong asked: "Is there anyone in your family who can write, and I want to write a preface to the collection of Tongjian. I don't know why, but Wen Si will not come. You might as well write some Come in, listen to my choice.

"He Shen said: "Although there are a few literati under the sect of Weichen, I'm afraid it will not be very good. "

Gao Zongdao: "I don't only rely on you, Fu Heng, Ah Gui, Lian will also ask him.

"He Shen kowtowed and said yes. In less than five or six days, Gaozong's imperial preface had already been published, and I don't know who wrote it.

Since the death of Concubine Xiang, Gaozong has been heartless all day long. This is not good, and that is not good. Fu Heng, He Shen and other ministers who are closely related to each other tried their best to relieve his boredom.The empress dowager was also very sad.On this day, Fu Heng and Ah Gui were chatting in front of the imperial court, and they accidentally mentioned that the scenery in the south is very interesting. On that day, the Emperor Shengzu made his second southern tour, and he left inscriptions everywhere, which really aroused the color of the lake and mountains.Gaozong listened to his heart, and said casually: "Let's go for a walk in the south, too, shall we?"

Fu Heng and A Guiqi both encouraged him.Gao Zongdao: "The empress dowager doesn't know what to do, so she always asks for her old man's will."

Fu Hengdao: "The emperor is filial, and the empress dowager is always happy."

Emperor Gaozong went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to report to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager was very pleased.So he went to the House of Internal Affairs and sent people to Jiangxi to supervise the construction of dragon boats. The household and military departments flew to consult with the governors of the provinces, built palaces, and sent troops to protect them.Emperor Gaozong made a decree to make a southern tour in March next year.With this decree, the officials of all provinces suddenly became busy. The governors and governors of Sidao, Zhazhou County of Sidao, repairing ponds for repairing ponds, and dredging rivers for dredging rivers were extremely busy.As soon as the first month came, the governors of various provinces came to Beijing one after another, reporting that all the palaces and imperial roads had been completed.Gaozong sent ministers to tread everywhere.In the middle of February, Emperor Gaozong honored the Empress Dowager, opened the Zhengyang Gate from the Forbidden City, left Beijing and went south.The ceremonial carriages and horses lined up for more than ten miles.The kings and ministers stayed behind, but they didn't return until thirty miles away.

When Emperor Gaozong was on the road, it was nothing more than sightseeing in the mountains and inscribing poems when he met the water. It was just a pleasant activity, and there were no novel facts to remember.On this day, when I traveled to the boundary of Jining Prefecture in Shandong Province, the yellow sand on the royal road was not paved, and the reed hall was not covered.Gaozong was furious and sent an order to investigate.

For a while, a close minister replied: "Yan Xishen, who knows the state, left because of an incident, and no one is in charge of the state affairs. Now the local gentlemen, please help urgently. Yan Xishen's mother ordered the opening of the storehouse to distribute millet, regardless of the court's regulations. With such a confused son, There is such a foolish mother. Please the emperor deal with her severely, and also warn others."

Said that the governor of Shandong Province also arrived.Gaozong was about to issue an order when he suddenly reported to the empress dowager.Gaozong passed the boat and met the Queen Mother.The Empress Dowager said: "My son, do you know that Yan Zhizhou's mother here is a virtuous mother. When her son is not in the state government, she opened a warehouse to distribute relief and saved many people's lives."

Gaozong replied "Yes," and then replied, "The Empress Dowager doesn't know, although his mother is a virtuous son, he is very confused as a son."

Let me tell you about the inappropriate confession.The queen mother said: "Mum is so virtuous, my son will never be very unpromising. If someone has something to do, it's for business, so let's make up for it."

Gaozong answered two "yes."

The queen mother said: "I have already sent someone to summon her.

"Speaking of Yan Xishen's mother He's calling. The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Where is it?Just follow her in. "

Then he said to Gao Zong: "My son, don't go, you will see her too."

Gaozong had to sit down.For a while, the eunuch introduced Mrs. He to visit the two palaces, and the queen mother gave her a seat and chatted with her.Gaozong looked at him secretly, he was very surprised to see He's five-end figure, benevolent face, and Zou's etiquette is quite in line with regulations.Seeing the Queen Mother and Mrs. He, they talked very speculatively.The queen mother first asked: "How old are you this year?"

He stood up and played back: "The concubine is 73 years old."

The Empress Dowager said, "Are your teeth and ears okay?"

He said: "Thanks to the empress dowager, the emperor Hongfu, everything is fine."

The queen mother said: "I am many years younger than you, my ears are still good, but I have lost many teeth, and now I only chew a few rotten things."

He said: "The body of the concubine is a grass and tree, how dare you compare with the Holy Mother!"

The queen mother said: "If there is no one, it is usually an individual, how high or low!"

At that moment, the Empress Dowager rewarded her very much, gave her a plaque, and specially sent two eunuchs to help her into the sedan chair and send her back to the state government.There is a poem from later generations: "It is cheap to send millet to Yangren, and when is the strict woman to be white and simple."

Feng Sole suspends Wen Zhao, and Zhonggong Xuanjin enters Mrs. Tai.

After He's departure, the Empress Dowager stayed in Gaozong's water hall to have dinner together.Mother and son, talking about family affairs and state affairs, are very happy.Suddenly an inner eunuch came in from the head cabin and presented a playbook.

After Gaozong read it, he wanted to pass on the decree to his courtiers, and the Queen Mother asked what was the matter.Gao Zongdao: "There is a vacancy in Jinan Mansion."

The Empress Dowager said: "Just promote Yan Xishen, will he get it?"

Gao Zongdao: "I would like to obey Yi's order! It's just that he is too cheap."

The queen mother said: "I think he is such a mother, and he is supervised above, so there will be no mistakes."

Emperor Gaozong answered "Yes," and raised the imperial pen in person, drafted an imperial edict, and immediately sent it out to promote Yan Xishen.Relying on her mother's blessing, Yan Xishen got the empress dowager's acquaintance. Since then, she has been on the rise, and within a few years, she was promoted to governor of Henan.This is a later story.

The two palaces stayed overnight in Jining and then drove south.The royal boat did not use masts, sails or oars to travel, but two cables twisted with yellow silk. Hundreds of people, dressed in yellow silk uniforms, led the two ends separately and advanced along the embankment.For each dragon boat, hundreds of trackers are used.There are already 70 people in palace family and servants, five dragon boats, big and small, No. 7000, that is, trackers.Before the dragon boat arrived, the local officials dispatched soldiers to inspect the area by boats and prohibited the entry and exit of civilian boats.As soon as the dragon boat arrives, people on both sides of the strait gather to welcome them.There are tribute supervisors who present poems and fus, gentlemen who make announcements, and current officials, not to mention.Emperor Gaozong accidentally paid his respects and stayed there for a day and a half, and the place was cleaned up immediately.Just provide a meal, and all kinds of delicacies from the mountains, south and seas, and the north, that's not the same. The followers of the two palaces and others are unwilling to make up for it. The money spent is really not as good as water.Two palaces are in the cabin, how do you know?
On this day, the courtier said: "I will arrive in Yangzhou tomorrow."

Gao Zongdao: "The ancients said: You can ride a crane to Yangzhou with one hundred thousand guan in your waist. The scenery in Yangzhou must be impressive. When we get there, let's visit him for a day or two."

Arriving in Yangzhou the next day, Emperor Gaozong asked the eunuch to spread the decree, and the people on both sides of the strait should avoid men, but women do not need to avoid.The magistrate of Yangzhou received this decree, established two counties of Yujiang and Gansu, and dispatched servants to the four townships to preach to the households, telling the women of the folk families to dress neatly and go to Jianggan to greet them.Poor people in Yangzhou suffered this catastrophe for no reason, but Emperor Gaozong was very happy. He leaned on the fence and watched, commenting on the spring scenery of Yangzhou with his second and third courtiers.Gao Zongdao: "Women in the south are better-looking than those in the north.

Fu Heng said: "The gold powder of the Six Dynasties was originally very famous." "

Gaozong paused for a while, then suddenly sighed.Fu Heng hurriedly asked: "Why does the emperor sigh?"

Gao Zong clung to Fu Heng's ear, and said a few words softly, but Fu Heng said with a smile: "This is very easy. It can be done immediately by passing the decree to Yangzhou Prefecture."

Gao Zongdao: "You are so confused. You can pass on the decree in a high-sounding manner. You have to tell the magistrate privately, and tell him to do it quietly."

Fu Hengdao: "I don't dare to do it, I'm going to ask you to send someone else to do it."

Gao Zong asked in surprise, "What does this mean?"

Fu Hengdao: "The queen knows, is the minister still alive?"

Gao Zongdao: "What are you afraid of? I am here."

Fu Heng smiled and said, "I'm just joking! Your Majesty, don't worry, I've obeyed the order."

Gao Zongdao: "If you want to do it, do it, Lian is not so good."

Fu Heng said: "The boat is almost at the pier."

For a while, all the officials, including the magistrate of the shipping department of the wharf, came up to pick him up.

Fu Heng told the prefect of Yangzhou to come to his boat and asked, "Is there a kiln here?"

The magistrate hurriedly got up and said: "Talking back to Zhongtang, the customs in Beifu are still mellow. Although there were a few private kilns in the beginning, since Beifu took office, they have been strictly enforced a few times, and now it is almost the same."

Fu Heng knew that he had misunderstood the meaning, and said with a smile: "Who has the time to investigate your political achievements? I'm asking about the 24th Bridge, which has been famous since ancient times. I was lonely on the way up, and I have better sisters. Let me call some to accompany you."

The prefect answered a few "yes" and left.In the evening, when the dinner was delivered, ten kiln sisters who looked like flowers were selected.Emperor Gaozong was overjoyed, so he asked them to sing the song Yujiu, Jinzun Sandalwood Board, and there were many little reds singing that I am elegant on the flute.After the banquet was over, he gave special favor to them and left them in the royal boat to wait on the bed. They hugged each other from left to right, the jade was soft and fragrant, and they were indescribably happy.It's exactly: the eyebrows are opened in the spring scenery, and the heart is teased by the gaze in the mirror.

The next day, the sun was shining across the window, and the waves were shining. Gaozong and the ten kiln sisters rubbed the powder on their own, enjoying themselves.Suddenly I heard a boom in the back cabin saying that the empress is not well.Gao Zong was shocked and hurriedly asked the palace supervisor to go out to inquire.For a while, he played back and said: "For some reason, the Empress suddenly cut off her hair with scissors. The Empress Dowager found out, and Chuan Yi ordered all the eunuchs in the empress's boat to be questioned. I am afraid that I will call the Lord."

Gaozong frowned and said, "Why does this happen again?"

Come along with the boat and see for yourself.It turns out that since Empress Nala's enthronement, her kindness has been very ordinary, and her heart is unavoidably depressed.Yesterday, Yangzhou Mansion sent Shangyao sister, son, palace supervisor, etc., but they took it as a piece of news, and they all said, "The queen listened, she was upset, and it was inconvenient. She was so sad and cried all night.Getting up the next day, Gong'e knelt down and asked to dress up. The queen said: "A person like me can't wait to die early one day, so what's the matter with dressing him up? Think about it, I'm playing for a false name, and my name is the mother of the country. It's not as good as it is. What are you doing alive in this kind of day?"

Talking and crying.Gong'e persuaded: "Your Majesty's golden and jade body, you have to take care of yourself. Even if the master is acting on the occasion, there is no need to be so overthinking. When the queen mother is in front of the former master, Ann will always invite her. How can she get out without dressing up?"

A palace lady opened the dowry mirror, knelt and held it up.The queen looked in the mirror and saw her beautiful face, and thought of being rejected by others, she couldn't help feeling resentful and asked Gong'e to bring the scissors.Gong'e only said that she wanted to trim her hair and gave it to her.The queen took the scissors, and cut only on the top of her head. The dark cloud-like fragrant hair had already been cut off.It was too late for all the palace ladies to rush to rescue them.The queen just cries.All the maidservants knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, there will be no place to bury your servants when they die."

Saying that, people reported, "My lord has come in.

" I saw Gao Zong walking into the middle cabin, frowning and saying: "You make trouble like this, you will die if you don't die!"

"The queen said: "I would like to die, but I can be reborn after death. "

Gao Zongdao: "It's very easy for you to die. Since our ancestors, our family has never had such a trouble like you. You also know our family's customs. The most taboo is to cut your hair."

The queen said: "My lord, if you are willing to decree me to die, that is the great kindness of my lord. I don't want to have any more grace from my lord."

Gaozong was furious.

Just as they were making a fuss, the eunuch said loudly, "Your Majesty is coming."

The Queen Mother said tremblingly: "What's the matter, let me see."

Emperor Gaozong was busy welcoming the Empress Dowager into the cabin, and seeing the Empress' messy hair, he felt uncomfortable, and when he investigated the root cause, the Empress refused to tell.The Empress Dowager said: "No matter what, you can tell me if you wronged me, so I can make the decision for you. Now it's clearly not against your master, but against me. Isn't it because I hurt you for nothing? From now on, if you make trouble, I won't care about your affairs anymore."

After finishing speaking, he helped the eunuch to cross the boat.Emperor Gaozong followed the past, and for a while issued an order to send the queen's original ship back to the capital. In the order, he said that he should be in the throne, because he was in the middle palace, so he was very beautiful.Later, when the empress passed away, Gaozong decreed that the funeral should be carried out according to the rites of the imperial concubine, and that the imperial concubine should not be enshrined in the Taimiao.The Han members went to the Shu and tried their best, but in the end they stayed in the middle school and did not send out.It wasn't until the fourth year of Jiaqing, when Gao Zongbin died, that he sealed the fold and handed it over to the cabinet for storage.

Later generations have poems:
The servant girl cut off the frown alone, and looked forward to Mengjin without learning Wen Zhao.

In the 衄庙, but the etiquette of the Xujiao House, Li Zhongchen was still in his lifetime.

This is all for later.At present, Emperor Gaozong stayed for two days, then sailed across Ning and headed for Jinling.If you want to know what happened next, let's talk about it next time.
