story

Wang Keyu, the story scholar of "one son of heaven and one courtier", visited Nanjing and hung an imperial edict on the outer wall of Mingyuan building of Jiangnan Gongyuan, No.1 Jinling Road, Nanjing Confucius Temple. This is a copy of the No.1 scholar's success report of Jiangnan talented scholar Qin in the 17th year of Qianlong. It is said that it was written by Qianlong himself. There is also a story in history about this great master Qin. there is an alley in Nanjing called Qin zhuangyuanli, which has become the number one scholar of two generations. First, Qin Hui. Qin Hui was a treacherous minister in the Southern Song Dynasty, who killed Yue Fei. The Chinese love and hate each other clearly. In history, there is no record of his number one scholar, so few people know that Qin Hui was also a number one scholar at that time. one mistake has become eternal hatred, one's own reputation is not good, and later generations are also affected. In the 17th year of Qianlong, Nanjing won another number one scholar, who was called master Qin. Qin Dashi, a scholar in Nanjing, was smart and studious when he was young. He was able to write poems and compositions at the age of 10. He was elected by the imperial pen of Emperor Qianlong in 1752. However, Emperor Qianlong suspected that he was a descendant of Qin Hui and worried that he would disgrace the reputation of the imperial court. So he personally summoned Mr. Qin and asked, "are you the descendant of Qin Hui?" Mr. Qin was lying on the ground, sweating. He didn't know how to answer: if he told the truth, it would be bad for his future; if he denied it, it would be a crime of deceiving the king, and even worse for his ancestors. At the critical moment of life and death, Mr. Qin braved himself and said in a loud voice: "emperor, once the son of heaven, once the courtiers!" Mr. Qin is worthy of being a great talent and brilliant wit. This is to say that Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty used treacherous officials, while Emperor Qianlong used loyal officials. As soon as this statement is made, it will be handed down to later generations. The emperor of Qianlong, Longyan Dayue, appreciated his extraordinary intelligence and immediately appointed Mr. Qin as the 43rd champion of the Qing Dynasty. after he became the number one scholar in senior high school, in order to keep his face and change people's view of Qin's descendants for hundreds of years, he went to Hangzhou West Lake to worship Yue Fei. In front of Yue Fei's tomb, I saw the statue of Qin Hui and his wife kneeling here with their hands tied back. After pondering for a moment, Mr. Qin wrote down a famous sentence that has been passed down through the ages: "since the Song Dynasty, people have been shamed to be named Hui. When I go to the grave, I am ashamed to be named Qin." This quatrain is sincere and stands out clearly. Mr. Qin was a clean and honest official all his life and devoted all his life to the benefit of the common people. As a result, people changed their views on the Qin family and reestablished the reputation of the Qin family. Tang Xianzu's "Peony Pavilion - Lu spy" tells us how to ban sand in the north? People from the South occupy the land of brocade.
