Chapter 114: Renjie Qu Shiyun
Qian Qianyi was almost so angry that he vomited blood at this time, why? Because Qu Shiyun is a student of Qian Qianyi! At this time, Qu Shiyun openly opposed the reduction and exemption of taxes in Jiangnan, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face, the ancients talked about being a teacher for one day and a father for life, and respecting teachers has penetrated into his bones.

At this time, seeing Qu Shiyun opposing himself like this, how could he not be angry! It's good if you reduce taxes today, but if you don't, where will you put your face? Don't be laughed at by your colleagues yet!
So Qian Qianyi immediately asked Qu Shiyun: "The sage Yunkong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, Jiangnan has always been my Ming Dynasty tax land, and I have done a lot to my Ming Dynasty, and now Jiangnan floods are frequent, and the people's livelihood is suffering, if the court ignores it, wouldn't it be unkind and unjust!" In this way, where is the face of the imperial court! ”
Qian Qianyi said, arched his hand to Chongzhen again, and said: "The new emperor's accession to the throne is the time to show generosity and benevolence to the people of the world. You keep saying that it is for the court and for taxes, but you don't know that in addition to gold and silver, there are also people's hearts in this world! Sage cloud, water can carry a boat, can also overturn a boat, you instigated the emperor not to want the hearts of the people in the world, what is this intention! ”
Qu Shiyun was unconvinced, but the teacher asked in the head, as a student, how could he contradict it?
Poor Qu Shiyun a body of talent, in the Chongzhen Dynasty 17 years can not be reused, Qu Shiyun, the word from the field, born in Wanli 18 years, Suzhou often acquaintances, since childhood full of learning, is a well-known prodigy, after worshiping Qian Qianyi as a teacher, 27-year-old high school jinshi, and then served as the magistrate of Yongfeng County, Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, when in office, go to the village and alleys, inspect the local bullies, Yongfeng County governance in an orderly manner,
When Wei Zhongxian's power leaned towards the government and the opposition, there were countless people who were attached to hundreds of military officials in the world, but Qu Shiyun was not afraid of power, but all those who clinged to Wei Zhongxian, Qu Shiyun cut off contacts with him, and the literati style was undoubtedly revealed. However, it is always not allowed to be reused, and it is idle at home. After Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, Chongzhen Coal Mountain hanged, Qu Shiyun wanted to be martyred, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty iron hooves entered the pass, Li Zicheng was defeated, and the Han family was in danger.
Soon, the Fu King Zhu Yousong established the Hongguang regime in Nanjing, Qu Shiyun was appointed as the governor of Guangxi, just walked halfway, there was news that Nanjing had been breached, for a while, the hearts of the people in the world floated, Qu Shiyun to stabilize the people's hearts, after arriving in office, he ate and lived with the people, persuaded the people to cultivate with peace of mind, and at the same time recruited soldiers and horses, and actively trained to prepare for war, so that the local people's hearts gradually stabilized.
After the collapse of the Hongguang regime, Tang King Zhu Yujian established the Longwu regime in Fuzhou, but Zhu Xiangjia, the king of Jingjiang in Guilin, did not admit it, and also established a political power, established his own prison country, and then sent someone to win over Qu Shiyun, who was sternly rejected by Qu Shiyun, and shouted: "Now that Emperor Longwu has set his throne, he should work together to recover the Ming Dynasty, how can brothers kill each other, and do the things that are painful for relatives and happy for enemies!" ”
Later, Qu Shiyun contacted Zhu Xiangjia's general Jiao Lian, and joined forces with him to arrest Zhu Xiangjia, making great contributions to the consolidation of the Longwu regime.
Helplessly, the Qing army was strong, the next year Emperor Longwu was killed, the Longwu regime was destroyed, Qu Shiyun supported the Guiwang Zhu Youjiao in Guangdong to ascend the throne, was the Yongli Emperor, Yongli promoted him to the right servant of the ministry, Dongge University Scholar. In the following years, Qu Shiyun actively assisted Emperor Yongli in managing the government, stabilizing people's hearts, and never forgetting to recover the land and restore the Ming Dynasty. And has defeated the Qing army's large-scale attack several times, but the Yongli Emperor is really not angry, and when the state affairs are declining, the Yongli Dynasty's civil and military officials are still fighting for the party, self-eliminating strength, and the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a thousand miles a day, so that in the end Guilin was besieged by Kong Youde.
Before escaping, Emperor Yongli, the son of heaven, took Qu Shiyun's hand and asked him to run away together, but he sternly refused, at this time he generously said: "The minister is left behind, how can he abandon Guilin and leave?" The city is in the people, the city is broken, the people are dead, and I hope that the emperor will rise up in the future, expel the Tartars, and recover the Ming Dynasty. ”
Later, the city of Guilin was broken, and Kong Youde admired his talent and prestige, so he promised a high-ranking official, hoping that he would surrender, but he was unceremoniously scolded. In the end, before Qu Shiyun generously went to die, he left a fateful poem: calmly wait for death and the death of the city, the loyal ministers of the ages are independent, and the grace has been long for three hundred years, and the hair is still full of fragrance.
After writing, he knelt on the ground to the south and bowed five times and three times (this is the ceremony of resigning the emperor), and then was killed by Kong Youde. Alas! Lamentable! A generation of heroes ended up like this!
Besides, above the court at this time, Qian Qianyi's history shouted, because of the education he had received over the years, Qu Shiyun was speechless for a while.
Bi Ziyan knew that they were masters and apprentices, Qu Shiyun opposed Qian Qianyi today for the sake of righteousness, which made Bi Ziyan very moved, seeing that Qu Shiyun did not dare to contradict Qian Qianyi, so he immediately said: "Qu Shizhong is dedicated to the public today, why should Lord Qian work hard to pressure each other with the body of the master, now the Tartars are growing stronger and stronger in Liaodong, and it has become a big trouble for our dynasty, for the sake of the country, for the people, they have to use soldiers, and the soldiers are together, even the gold and silver sea will also be consumed, how can Jiangnan taxes be reduced or exempted at this time?" ”
Qian Qianyi couldn't help but glance at Bi Ziyan, and then said: "I am the leader of Shilin, how can I use my power to suppress people?" What the court said today, but on the matter, the war in Liaodong was not fought for three or five years, if according to Lord Bi, then the people of the whole country should not live. When there is a disaster in the local area, it is common sense to reduce taxes and help the victims, so how can it become a disaster to the country and the people when you come here? ”
I have to say that as the leader of Shilin, Qian Qianyi's eloquence is also a master, and Bi Ziyan was also choked by him for a while.
At this time, those officials who supported the tax cut also helped.
"Yes, the disaster is together, and the local people are not happy, how can the court sit idly by? In this way, how will the kingdom continue? ”
"It is precisely this reason, the people of Jiangnan are looking forward to the grace of the court day and night, if the court turns a deaf ear, won't they be forced to rebel!"
"What Lord Qian said is extremely true, how to decide, the sage has already made a decision, we just need to follow what the sage said, why argue again! As Master Bi said, isn't it true that the saints are all wrong? We have been reading poetry and books since I was a child, and have been taught by the saints, can we be more wise than the saints? ”
,,,,,,
Suddenly, the call for tax reduction and exemption in Jiangnan has become an overwhelming advantage in the court, although Bi Ziyan Qu Shiyun argued hard, but the people were few and weak, and finally he could only put his last hope on Emperor Chongzhen.
I only heard Bi Ziyan kneel down to Chongzhen and said, "Please also ask the emperor to judge." ”
