Chapter 545: Famous scholars in the Qing Dynasty cannot live up to their reputation, so they take pity on orphans and widows and come to recognize their relatives
"The Love Affair of Famous Confucians in the Qing Dynasty" is a demon book, which records the so-called outer concubines of famous scholars in the Qing Dynasty. It is full of pictures and texts. , the descriptions are extremely detailed, such as a certain Qingliu who looks glamorous on the surface, but actually has a disease, such as a certain Ming Confucian who appears to be elegant and peaceful, but secretly likes to beat people the most. Such secrets are talked about by people.
This kind of story collection is more destructive to famous scholars in the Qing Dynasty than killing them! What is the most important thing about clear flow? It's reputation. Fame is more important to them than life, but these collections of stories are really jaw-dropping. It turns out that there are such people behind these innocent people.
The last time the demon book destroyed forty famous scholars from the Qing Dynasty, this time it was twenty famous scholars from the North Yamen and twenty famous scholars from the Nanya.
He really doesn’t show any mercy at all.
The material was provided by Wang Qian, and the demon book was printed by the Emperor's order from the Sanjing Factory. The official version of the Sanjing Factory has clear handwriting.
What Zhu Yijun focuses on here is Guo Youzhang, who was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing. His father was an inspector in Shandong. Guo Youzhang was rich and talented when he was young. He was born in a scholarly family. At the age of twenty-four, he won the imperial examination. At the age of fifteen, he was admitted to the Imperial Academy and became a shujishi. Later, he was awarded the rank of censor of the seventh rank.
On weekdays, Guo Youzhang's image is: self-denying, dedicated to the public, diligent, honest, thrifty, diligent and prudent. The court is ignorant of government orders and has many words of advice. Qingliu is a well-known figure in the court, if not Big figures like Hai Rui and Shen Li, who relied on the Jiajing Emperor and Gao Gong to gain fame, were among them, and Guo Youzhang was the top figure in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
On weekdays, Guo Youzhang has many unique insights into matters such as the autocratic power of eunuchs in the imperial court, the censorship of the cabinet, the corruption of officials, the emptiness of the treasury, and the neglect of border affairs. Under internal and external troubles, Guo Youzhang always behaves with a look of concern for the country and the people. Looks like a commentary on current affairs.
In the Demon Book, Guo Youzhang's image is completely opposite. His private life is extremely extravagant, and he has three outhouses, one of which is a red-haired fan. Fanyi like the red-haired fan, in In the eyes of the Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty, they were no different from animals. Except for the ridiculous prince Lu, no famous scholar of the Ming Dynasty openly had such an extramarital relationship with Hongmao Fan.
The Ming Dynasty is extremely conservative, even more conservative than conservative, but there is a red-haired wife who only learns foreign languages and gave birth to a son!
If it only goes so far, Guo Youzhang just has a romantic affair that is a little different from ordinary people.
Among the two remaining outhouses, there is one called Shen An Niang. She was originally a brothel girl and a court lady in the Black Stone Book House of Songjiang Prefecture. Guo Youzhang once went to Songjiang Prefecture for business and met her. He fell in love with Shen Anyiang, indulged in her beauty and her exquisite skills in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and ransomed her.
Songjiang Mansion Book House is a kind of brothel, but unlike a brothel, it provides more emotional value. Of course, as long as the emotional value is provided, the price will not be cheap. After Shen Anniang was ransomed , was grateful to Guo Youzhang, and gave birth to a son for him in the second year of Wanli.
Shen An’s mother is the kind of quiet outsider who doesn’t fight, fight, or make trouble, let alone her first wife. The first wife is protected by public order, good customs, and laws. She has nothing in an outer wife. If she makes a fuss, Guo Youzhang He might not be able to help her yet. Guo Youzhang's reputation is ruined, which is not good for Shen Anniang.
At the beginning of the fourth year of Wanli, Shen Aniang gave birth to a daughter for Guo Youzhang again. Guo Youzhang was overjoyed and gave Shen Aniang a house in an outer city. Shen Aniang followed Guo Youzhang and lived in a rented house. Although her life was Stable but not in danger, she finally had a house and she could take care of her children in peace.
A drastic change occurred at the end of the seventh year of Wanli. Guo Youzhang's first wife came to the door. Of course, for the sake of Guo Youzhang's reputation, the first wife entered the house secretly without any fanfare. After tearing apart, she took Shen Aniang's son away, leaving only After giving birth to a daughter, Shen Anniang and her daughter depended on each other for life.
This is just the beginning of the tragedy.
But Shen Aniang soon discovered that Guo Youzhang was not coming. Not only was she not coming, but her monthly credit was cut off. At this time, Shen Aniang could only get anxious and come to beg for help. Her first wife was afraid that she would beat her to death. But if she doesn't come to the door, how can she live as an old and lustful woman with a daughter?
Guo Youzhang gave the house to Shen Anniang, but he did not give the deed to Shen Anniang.
On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month in the seventh year of Wanli, the government officials came to the door and drove Shen An's mother away. Shen An's mother cried and made noises. She was hysterical, but the government officials still drove her away. They said that "someone" had sued someone for occupying the house privately, so the government office could only Come and chase people away.
In this way, Shen Aniang led a little girl who kept asking where her father was, and lived on the street. It was thanks to the government officials' mercy that they gave Shen Aniang time to clean up her belongings, otherwise they wouldn't even have the money to stay. .
Being a waiter in a bookstore may seem glamorous, but maintaining such glamor requires money. Clothes, rouge, gouache, music scores, musical instruments, everything costs money, not to mention the guests who spend money like water. The nuns took it away, leaving only a small amount of money for Shen Anniang.
Fortunately, Shen Anniang has not been a lavish spender in recent years. She has saved 300 taels of silver from the monthly salary and rewards given by Guo Youzhang. These 300 taels of silver are not lavish, and are enough for the little girl to marry. People.
Shen Aniang gave up the idea of looking for Guo Youzhang. From the moment his wife came to pick up the child, Shen Aniang knew that Guo Youzhang was ready to abandon her because she was old and lustful and had given birth to two children. It's easy to get old.
Some people can’t understand a woman in the mortal world and think it is love, but Shen Anniang knows very well that entertaining people with sex has only been done in the past few years, and Guo Youzhang has been in a rare long-term relationship.
Three hundred taels of silver was Shen Anniang’s last property. She originally planned to buy a house in the outer city. This was not to spend money lavishly, but because the city was safe. Living in a Guo Minhouse outside the city would probably endanger both her life and property. Everything was robbed, even the little girl was snatched away.
The man who had previously sued Shen Anniang for occupying her home appeared. As the homeowner, he once again sued Shen Aniang for stealing five hundred taels of silver from her home!
Shen Anniang turned out to be the servant of the bookstore. No matter how nice she said, she was a prostitute but not a prostitute. She was a prostitute and a slave. The Shuntian Mansion Yamen had not abolished the slave status at that time. If Shen Anniang had gone to court , she had to receive twenty sticks first. In the capital city, which was as ice-like as a mirror, Shen Anniang took her daughter to beg Guo Youzhang, but she didn't see Guo Youzhang, and was beaten instead.
All this was done by the conscience-stricken Guo Youzhang. The house clearly belonged to him, but it was written with someone else's name. The money was obviously given as a monthly reward, but he wanted to take it back, and he wanted to repay it with this A method that destroys one's conscience.
The despairing Shen Aniang was filled with grief, so she bought Hedinghong and prepared to die with her daughter in front of Guo Youzhang's house. Shen Aniang had no choice but to take away her daughter when his wife came to the door. It was Guo Youzhang who didn't want his daughter, so she followed her. Shen Aniang's daughter only Can suffer.
One death and a hundred deaths.
After Shen Anniang fed Hedinghong to her daughter, she also ate Hedinghong herself, closed her eyes and waited for death. She didn’t even dare to get too close to Guo Youzhang’s house, otherwise the servants would drive her away and die. Not in front of the house. She had to wait for the medicine to take effect before going.
After waiting for a long time, she didn’t wait for the medicine to take effect. She opened her eyes because of her daughter’s voice smacking her lips and saying how sweet she was. Shen An’ang hugged her daughter and cried without making any sound. Tears fell like rain.
Hedinghong is fake, it is Wang's Yihetang sugar jelly beans. This is the white sugar that the old Wang family got from doing business with the Ming Emperor. It is a very rare dessert.
When Shen Aniang's mood stabilized, a sedan slowly left at the corner of the street. Someone arranged for Shen Aniang to go to Yongsheng Woolen Factory to work as a weaver.
In the sedan chair was the fourth-rank censor of Qiandu in the Ming Dynasty, the person in charge of the Yanxing Building transaction, the second richest man in the capital, the emperor's Kaihai investment partner (1.12 million silver), and the mourning family of the Yang family in Xindu Xing, the nightmare of a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty, the only son of Wang Chonggu, the second assistant and minister of the Ministry of Justice, the sole heir of the Wang family in Puzhou, the controller of the three aunts and the six wives in the capital, Prince Wang Qian.
Although the fact that Shen Anniang was abandoned has not spread among the public, it has been spread among the three aunts and six wives. Wang Qian paid a little attention to the progress of Shen Anniang's theft case and knew that something was going to happen. Shen Anniang wanted to buy arsenic. Wang Qian Qian originally planned to come forward, but when he saw Shen Anniang walking into his drug store, he asked someone to replace the arsenic with sugar cubes and sold it to Shen Anniang.
Yesterday's cause is today's result. Wang Qian is not free to save a prostitute. This is an important taint witness. He may be useful at some point. Wang Qian found a lawyer. , paid three hundred taels of silver, and settled the subsequent cause and effect.
Wang Qian said that he wanted to have one more card in his hand. The old Wang family could not count on the Holy Family for everything. Wang Chonggu was not Zhang Juzheng, so how could he squander so many Holy Family members?
But Zhu Yijun felt that Wang Qian was simply kind-hearted. Otherwise, why didn't Wang Qian ask Shen Anniang for the three hundred taels of silver and took it out of his own pocket?
This time there has just been some limelight to impeach Wang Chonggu, and the person leading the charge is none other than Guo Youzhang.
"Your Majesty, is this a bit too strong?" Wang Qian accompanied the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to watch the fun. The main reason was that a lot of people gathered in front of Guo Youzhang's door. Guo Youzhang closed the door to thank the guests and even met him. No one dared to show his face.
In front of Guo Youzhang's door, the person standing at the front is Shen Aniang. She is holding her daughter and waiting for Guo Youzhang to open the door. She is not afraid now. The slave status has been abolished. She is no longer a slave, but a slave. Now Guo Youzhang can no longer use the Yamen to force Zhi Niang from the Woolen Official Factory to die, and Shen An Niang wants to ask why Guo Youzhang is so cruel.
There are disciples of Guo Youzhang here. They are all students who paid tea to Shu Xiu and worshiped the teacher. In this era when the king of heaven and earth is the master, the teacher has the same status as the father. As a result, now The teacher's reputation was ruined, and the victim came to the door, but Guo Youzhang chose to stay behind closed doors.
There are also the students from the Imperial College who came after hearing the news. They respect Guo Youzhang very much and have always followed him as an example. But now, Guo Youzhang's house collapsed, and the house collapsed!
There are still a bunch of pen editors. If they can see Guo Youzhang for the first time, this will be the headline of the newspaper and the sales volume will be guaranteed. The pen editors are waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the door to open at any time to ask about Guo Youzhang. It is true or false, but seeing Shen Anniang and her daughter guarding the door, the pen writers are busy writing, this is a hot spot among hot spots!
I have already thought of the title for the headline of tomorrow's morning paper: "Famous scholars from the Qing Dynasty can't live up to their reputation. They pity the orphans and widows and come to recognize their relatives!" 》
This title will definitely detonate the capital!
“When he scolded your father, why didn’t you think he didn’t scold him too hard? Did you slander him, or did I slander him? All the bad things he did, I’m still not happy Did he say that? He is allowed to scold others and not expose his shortcomings. It doesn't make sense." Zhu Yijun waved his hands and said, "Are you still your father's son?"
"Yes." Wang Qian had no choice but to admit that His Majesty gave Guo Youzhang a whole set of combination punches, one after another, each with fatal blows.
Wang Qian put himself in Guo Youzhang's shoes and thought that if he were Guo Youzhang, he would probably have written his official memorial at this moment, ran away overnight, and found a place to live where no one knew him.
Wang Qian knows his shame, but Guo Youzhang has no shame.
The black materials Wang Qian provided to His Majesty have already been engraved and placed in the Imperial Study Room. They are mainly used flexibly. When anyone attacks Wang Chonggu for messy things, letterpress printing will be started immediately. Editor There are books everywhere in the capital that can be sold in volumes the next day.
Zhu Yijun has finally discovered that he impeaches courtiers who have nothing to do all day long. None of these cheap Confucians are clean in this respect!
"The Love Affair of Famous Confucians of the Qing Dynasty", the power of Ming Dynasty's error correction is activated! Clean customs.
"Do you have any new materials there?" Zhu Yijun asked Wang Qian if he had any new aunts or wives. Where could he get any new black materials, and engrave them together. When the time comes, whoever jumps out will be given to them. "The Love Affair of Famous Confucians in the Qing Dynasty".
Wang Qian took out a pamphlet and said: "There are a few this time. Hai Zongxian is fighting corruption and arresting corruption. Those who have been dismissed from office, those who have been dismissed from their honors, and those who have been exiled to Suiyuan, these are the rest. It’s just a personal moral stain.”
“What’s important is moral stain.” Zhu Yijun put away the pamphlet. The black material Zhu Yijun had was mainly moral stain, because it had been screened by Hai Rui. , but all acts of corruption have been impeached.
This kind of anti-corruption method has been used for so many years. In fact, the courtiers have understood it to some extent, but it is difficult to avoid it. Unless you don’t support the outside wife, but as long as you support the outside wife, you will definitely It is inseparable from the three aunts and six women. There is no gate to the mouths of these three aunts and six women. "Tishuai, go find three Tiqi, disguise yourself and break down the door." Zhu Yijun really just wanted to watch the excitement and didn't mind the trouble. This Guo Youzhang stayed behind closed doors, so Zhu Yijun had to break in.
Daming Tiqi has a lot of experience in breaking down doors. He covered his face and walked into the crowd. He studied Guo Youzhang's door and found that it was not easy to break through. The three Tiqi left and walked to where they were. In a crowded place, one person leaned against the wall, squatting half-crouched and holding it up with his hands. The other Tiqi took two steps to run. The Tiqi beside the wall rolled over into the courtyard wall with one push.
Soon Tiqi entered Guo Youzhang's door, pushed open the door of the concierge arrogantly and unreasonably, and then walked away, taking away the door stop holding the door.
The indignant onlookers outside the door saw the door open and rushed in with others without saying a word. It was Shen Anniang who sighed and walked in the door.
Guo Youzhang also has servants at home. In the end, the two sides pushed and shoved each other. In addition, the Yamen officials had already heard the news and took charge of order, preventing the scene from becoming a mess. Everyone gathered in the main hall. At this time, Guo Youzhang There is no reason to hide anymore.
"Everyone, everyone, the visit should not be so arrogant. If you have any questions, please wait..."
"That's him! The sanctimonious hypocrite! Beat him!" Zhu Yijun stood at the back and didn't give a damn. When Guo Youzhang had the chance to speak, he just yelled. He was just shouting to add to the fun. He had no intention of doing it himself. If he had done it himself, Guo Youzhang, who had been practicing martial arts for many years, would be beaten to death with one punch.
Who knew that when Zhu Yijun shouted like this, someone actually rushed out of the crowd and slapped Guo Youzhang across the face. Someone took the lead and immediately swarmed up. Seeing that something was about to happen, the government officials hurried up. They stopped him and the scene became a mess.
"Hit him! Beat him so shamelessly!" Wang Qian was also on the side, shouting loudly. He had an official body, so naturally it was inconvenient for him to step forward, but he shouted twice to strengthen his momentum. It can still be done.
The capital master Huang Gongzi and Wang Gongzi like to watch the excitement together. The entire capital knows that the two young masters will not miss such a lively scene, and it is very reasonable for them to appear here.
Bi Zheng, who had something good to do, wanted to squeeze in and interview Mr. Wang and Mr. Huang about their views on this matter. However, there were too many followers around the noble man, so he couldn't squeeze in.
The person who took the lead in beating Guo Youzhang was also known to Wang Qian. He was a junior student of the Imperial College and a disciple of Guo Youzhang. He was considered a die-hard supporter of Guo Youzhang. This time the black material caused Guo Youzhang's image to completely collapse. If you are a fan, you will work harder when you lose your fans and come back to support.
When Wang Jinglong assassinated the king and killed Jia, Ge Shouli tried his best to defend Gao Gong. In Ge Shouli’s heart, Gao Gong was a role model and a reference in life, so Gao Gong could never be the one who assassinated the king and killed Jia. Behind the scenes, otherwise Ge Shouli's inner world would completely collapse.
Gao Gong is already a bad old man who was forced to become an official and return to his hometown. He really doesn't have the ability to arrange people in the palace.
Scholars like to set a benchmark in their hearts and take it as the goal of life. Living like that is the goal of life.
Faced with the fierce public opinion, Guo Youzhang did not stand up to respond. Instead, he chose to stay behind closed doors. This was the best response. The thing is true. A gentleman on the surface secretly exposed his concubine and his biological daughter. A villain driven to death.
Guo Youzhang could not respond because Shen Anniang was waiting outside his house with her daughter.
The farce was over, and the excited crowd finally left under the eviction of the government officials. Asking questions, how could they do anything? Just do it, slap him in the face, kick him in the crotch, what does that mean? This is an official of the imperial court, and if anything happens, he will go to jail!
The government officials are here to protect the angry crowd and prevent them from harming this Guo Youzhang. The main reason is that this Guo Youzhang is still the seventh-level supervisory censor. If he is really injured, in order to safeguard the collective interests of the bureaucracy, all harm will be done. Those who are involved and the officials who examine the case will be severely fined.
But now, with the government officials controlling the field, no injuries occurred, and Guo Youzhang was so disgraced that the bureaucrats can just be happy people without any worries. No one will die and no one will get hurt. This is fun, not vicious events.
Of course, Guo Youzhang's embarrassment is also the result of the Yamen's deliberate control of the situation. When blocking, whether to block the crowd or the servants depends on the situation.
Only the two young masters of Huang Wang and their retinue, the Yamen servants, and the daughter Shen An Niang was holding were left at the scene.
"You also came to see me having fun? Aren't you happy to see me in such a mess! Bitch!" Guo Youzhang had lost all his face and no longer had any courtesy at this time. He spat hard. In one breath, he cursed directly.
"Tsk, tsk, such an expression." Wang Qian was not false at all and Guo Youzhang sneered and started mocking.
"What, Wang Qian, are you having an affair with her? Are you defending her like this? You are not ashamed to eat the leftovers that others have eaten. As expected, the same kind of son is the same as the father. It's so disgusting." The corner of Guo Youzhang's mouth twitched, and he put down all pretense. He knew that he could no longer stay in the capital, and his words were very bad. Guo Youzhang blamed all the shame on Wang Chonggu, and said a few bad words about Wang Chonggu, This is what happened!
Guo Youzhang never thought it was his problem.
Wang Qian was laughed out of anger, shook his head and said: "Aren't you worse than a beast when you scold your father at your son? My father has only two sons in his life. My brother died outside the Great Wall. My father has never raised one. "Outdoor, you're good, even the red-haired fan has one. Who is your son? Chuan'er?" , who is not a scholar!
"A polite scum! He is simply a polite scum!" Seeing that he could not scold him, Guo Youzhang tossed his sleeves angrily, looked at Wang Qian sideways and said, "Is it because he is not good at it, so he doesn't keep an outside wife? "
"Guo Youzhang, you insult the scholar so much" Wang Qian lost interest in scolding Guo Youzhang.
"Why didn't you scold him?" Zhu Yijun asked doubtfully.
Wang Qian half-raised his head and said, "It's a shame to talk to him. He's not even a human being anymore. I don't want to talk to him."
Wang Qian is too lazy to talk to Guo Youzhang, who is not a human being. No matter what he said, it was not consistent with his status. How could a human reason with an animal? What else could an animal do besides barking and barking?
"You asked me if I came to see your joke, and I said no. In fact, I came to thank you." Shen Anniang flipped her hair and said: "I looked decent in the study room, but in fact It’s all sad, you redeemed me, I thank you.”
“Hahaha!” Guo Youzhang pointed at Shen Anniang and laughed wildly: “Are you still dreaming? Are you worthy of entering my house? ! I'm going back to Jiangxi soon. You can go back with me and be a maid in my house. That's fine. I'll take you in out of kindness."
Both Zhu Yijun and Wang Qian were wide-eyed. I don't know if this Guo Youzhang is a human being, but he is really a bitch.
The only person in the room who didn’t try to hurt you during the darkest period of your life. How did you say such cold words with a body temperature of 37 degrees?
Anger arose deep in Zhu Yijun's heart. There were such shameless Confucians in the Ming Dynasty, and there were many of them!
"Pa!"
Shen Anniang suddenly slapped Guo Youzhang in the face. The mark of the slap was very eye-catching. Shen Anniang hesitated before entering the door. After that, she did not join in the gang fight. When facing Guo Youzhang, she did not question him, but thanked him for redeeming her life.
But Guo Youzhang's words finally angered Shen Aniang, who had been suppressing her emotions, and slapped her hard.
"I have already died once with my daughter! I gave you my life back, I don't owe you anything! Give me my son back!" Shen Aniang roared hysterically.
“That’s my son!” Guo Youzhang was furious! How dare this prostitute hit him! He is a Jinshi, and he is the supervisory censor of the seventh rank of the Ming Dynasty. Even a bitch dares to beat him!
Guo Youzhang wanted to fight back, but in the end he was unable to do so. It was not because he didn’t want to, because the Xiuchun Dao of the sturdy man next to him had already been unsheathed. If nothing else, Guo Youzhang knew the Xiu Chun Dao. .
It is said that General Qi Jiguang is very indulgent towards Mr. Huang in his residence. Today, it turns out to be true. Mr. Huang actually brought Tiqi with him when he went out, which shows that he is really very indulgent. In Guo Youzhang’s view, he is very conniving. The Tiqi of the General's Mansion were sent by the emperor to monitor Qi Jiguang, as were the Tiqi of Zhang Juzheng's Quanchu Guild Hall, fearing that they would unite to rebel.
Everything in the world is viewed through a Confucian filter. He does not believe that there are kings, saints and ministers, let alone that the people of the court are the foundation of the country, and that the country is stable and peaceful. In general strategy, he only believes that people will be punished if they don't do it for themselves. He lives in his own narrow world and sees everyone and everything as narrow-minded.
Shen Aniang didn't shy away, she just frowned and shouted loudly with her face flushed: "You will only blame him for today's shame. Will he be able to live a good life with you?" Give me your son!"
"Go find that son and bring him here," Zhu Yijun tilted his head and said to Zhao Mengyou.
Zhao Mengyou took the order, and the Tiqi went directly to find the person. They found the child in the woodshed. The child looked extremely thin. He was only wearing a thin shirt on March 1, and the clothes were very small, with a lot of stuffing inside. He was covered with paper and thatch, his hands and feet were covered with frostbite, and he looked at everyone timidly.
"Tiger poison does not eat its seeds, it is really worse than an animal!" Wang Qian looked at the child and knew that he had been bullied in the house. If the child continued to follow Guo Youzhang, he might live Not long.
When Guo Youzhang saw his strange son, he clenched his fists and said, "It's your turn to speak! My son is my son!"
Zhu Yijun took a deep breath and said, "From today on, this child's surname is Shen. None of the children in the official factory are like this. Zhao Shuai, please send someone to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen to change the household sticker and send it to the official factory. Just say that it was Mr. Huang who said that the household sticker must be issued today. Delivered."
"Yes." Tishuai Zhao Mengyou quickly obeyed.
Shuntian Prefecture Prime Minister Shen Guanguan always knew that Mr. Huang was the emperor, and the oral edicts were not counted, but the driving posts from the Ministry of Revenue were counted. Zhu Yijun would definitely follow the procedures, and there were no necessary procedures. Yes, Zhu Yijun, as the emperor and the biggest beneficiary of order, cannot take the lead in destroying order and rules.
Zhu Yijun looked at Guo Youzhang coldly and said: "You, a cheap scholar, still want to go back to Jiangxi? Go back to Jiangxi Huohuo Jiangxi father? Prepare to go to Java!"
