Su Shaoyou sneered: "Dad, don't worry, how old is Dong Qichang?" The Nanjing Ministry of Rites was all the books, but he made a fuss for the scholars, and even the house at home was burned, didn't he pinch his nose and admit it? As long as there is trouble this time, then Dong Ce will definitely die without a place to be buried! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, both full of confidence.

It's no wonder that the two of them are so confident, thinking that they can toss Dong Ce a lot just by instigating a group of scholars to make trouble, because in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were not only many scholars making trouble, but also had a great impact, and there was not much punishment after that.

Such as the most famous civil copy of Dong Eun incident and the Suzhou tax resistance incident in the Wanli period.

On March 12, the 44th year of Wanli, Songjiang Mansion, which is famous for its cotton clothes, was plastered with posters accusing the squire Dong Qichang's family in just a few days. It seems that overnight, rumors began to circulate in the local market that "if you want to be strong, kill Dong Qichang first". Merchants in Huizhou, Huguang, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places also posted posters accusing the Dong family of crimes, and even brothels and pleasure boats circulated them.

Dong Qichang is the end of the Ming Dynasty, and can be regarded as one of the most famous calligraphers and painters, the originator of the Songjiang School of painting, and his painting style has swept later generations. The Dong family is a famous family in the Songjiang area, why did it cause public anger?

Dong Qichang resigned from Huguang as deputy envoy in the 34th year of Wanli and returned to Songjiang to relax. During his stay in the countryside, he ran rampant in the locality, bullied the good, and robbed men and women. Although Dong Qichang is old, he is still lustful and robs people's daughters. His son is not a good thing, especially the second son Dong Zuchang is the most, this is a hakama kid, relying on the power of the family, snaring ruffians everywhere to act as thugs, bullying men and women.

In August of the forty-third year of Wanli, Dong Zuchang took a fancy to Lu Ying, the handmaiden of Lu Zhaofang, a student member of Songjiang Mansion. At the second watch one night, he instructed the house slave Chen Ming to entangle more than 200 ruffians and bullies to break into the inner room of the Lu family, break up his family, rob Lu Ying, and loot his family assets. Lu Zhaofang immediately filed a lawsuit, causing a lawsuit. Later, under the persuasion of the local gentry, Lu Zhaofang swallowed his anger and closed his door from autumn to spring.

Although this matter has been temporarily resolved, the rights and wrongs have their own opinions. After the news spread, the people of Hejun were filled with righteous indignation, and some people wrote books such as "Black and White Biography" and various satirical songs, accompanied by orchestral music, and taught them to the blind people who sang in the city, and sang satirical songs throughout the city. The first episode of "Black and White Biography" is "Bai Gongzi beat Lujiazhuang at night, and Hei Xiucai made a big fuss in Longmen" - Lu Zhaofang's nickname Lu Hei - to say that Dong Qichang is not a fool, he naturally knows what is going on when he hears it, and he is also very angry in his heart.

As a member of Zhishi, he has always been used to being arrogant, where is Dong Qichang hot? He sued Songjiang Mansion again and demanded that the perpetrators be strictly arrested. It's just that there is no signature on this record book, and I don't know where the record book came from, and finally only the storyteller Qian Er was arrested, and he said that "Black and White Biography" was written by Fan Chang, a student in the same city.

On the second day of the third month of the 44th year of Wanli, Dong Qichang ordered the servants to plunder Fan Chang to Dong's house, and made him kneel in court with Qian Er, and Dong Qichang personally interrogated, first swore an oath with him, and forced him to pray and swear an oath to the city god.

Fan Chang's wife is Dong Qichang's sister-in-law, and his daughter-in-law Dong is Dong Qichang's daughter. Fan Chang's eighty-three-year-old mother, Feng, relied on this in-law relationship and took Gong and three maids to Dong's house to explain her innocence, crying and scolding along the way. After Dong Qichang found out, he ordered the servants to smash the sedan chair he was riding, and then brought the Fan family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the house, and after beating him behind closed doors, he pushed the Feng family into the ravine and tore all the Gong clothes. The maids of the retinue were even more humiliated, and most of them were stripped of their pants and pounded. Then the door was opened to let everyone see his fate, and then he dragged Feng's, Gong's and others into the house's sitting nunnery and painted their faces with mud.

To say that Dong Qichang did this thing is ruthless enough, these people have no clothes to cover their bodies, blood flows to their feet, and there is no cloth of shame underneath, and the viewers are shoulder to shoulder, and everyone is outrageous, all of them say that Dong's evil can be described as extremely evil.

This time, it immediately provoked the anger of the public. Zhang Yang, a relative of the Fan family and a member of the student, went to the government for help. Fan Chang's son and student Fan Qisong went to Suzhou College to file a complaint. Dong Qichang knew that this incident had aroused public indignation, and hurried to Suzhou College and Fuyuan to defend himself, and then greeted Songjiang Mansion and Huating County.

Under the anger of the people, there was a scene where the city was full of wind and rain, and notices were posted everywhere to expose Dong Qichang.

Leaderboard: "...... There is no public indignation in the hearts of the people. All my kind, don't be a bystander, think of the sad fox, don't be afraid of throwing rats, pursue heavenly bargaining, and please people's hearts. When asked if his words are not upside down, his paintings are not stupid, his articles are not Sima Zongmen, and Han is not Ouyang's class, how can he be lucky to be a villain and use the name of the family. …… If it is tolerated, it will not be the world. As soon as the public move arrived, all the drums sounded in unison, and the period was ten days, and the four evils were determined. Respectfully. ”

On 13 March, Huang Chaoding, the secretary of the government department, and Wu Zhijia, the secretary of Huating County, who had gone out on business, returned to the office.

On the 14th, the five students of Songjiang Fuxue, Huating, Shanghai, Qingpu, and Jinshanwei complained to the government for Fan Qisong, who had gone out to complain at that time, and on the 15th, they took the opportunity of the government officials to kneel down on Dong's sins in Minglun Hall.

On the 15th, the people crowded on both sides of the street, scolding like boiling, and the prefectural and county officials saw that the people were angry and could not commit crimes, so they had to order the arrest of Chen Ming, a slave of the Dong family, and punish him with 25 boards. But the people still gathered, from the house to the door of Dong's house, the road was blocked, and the scolding was endless.

If you pretend to be a grandson at this time, maybe it will be fine, but the Dong family is also arrogant, Dong Qichang's cousins Dong Qian'an, Dong Guangda, etc., do not know the current affairs, and they actually spread Dong's grievances, and were beaten with bricks by the people and fled back in embarrassment.

Seeing that the matter was critical, the Dong family hired more than 100 thugs to guard the house. These thugs relied on their own bravery and showed off their might at the door, which stimulated everyone's emotions more and more. The people first removed the flagpole at the door of Dong's house, and the people inside poured dung and urine from the roof, and the people below did not show weakness, throwing rubble inside, and the onlookers helped each other with bricks, and the doorways of Dong's house were broken. The villagers said: "Chen Ming is rampant, you can destroy his house first." So one person waved his hand and responded in groups, and dozens of luxurious and exquisite halls were demolished. In the afternoon, the crowd dispersed slightly, and then reassembled at the end of the day, wanting to set fire to the house, but it was a thunderstorm, and the people were afraid that the fire would be extinguished by the rain and would be ineffective, so they paused.

The next day, the people were still crowded forward, and the number of people who came from Shanghai, Qingpu, Jinshan and other places was even larger. On the 16th, two boys came to the house, as convenient as apes, and lit a fire with two rolls of oil reed mats, and set fire to its façade. It is the northwest wind of the night, the fire is still slow, about to burn to the tea room, the fire is slightly stronger, and the wind is larger than before, extending to the hall, the fire takes advantage of the wind, the loop is swirling, all blazing. The poor Dong family was "burned like four houses for a while, and the family assets were swept away", and hundreds of garden pavilions and pavilions with carved beams and curved sills were all burned, and the fire continued all night.

On the 19th, the rebels burned down Dong Qichang's Shuyuan building in Bailongtan, and also sank the plaque of Dong Qichang's handwritten "Baozhu Pavilion" in the river, saying: "Dong Qichang sank to the bottom of the water." There is a large plaque of the horizontal book "Daxiong Treasure Palace" in the main hall of the temple, and the payment "Dong Qichang Book" was smashed with bricks, and the monks climbed up and removed it by themselves. Dong Qichang took refuge in Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Danyang, Wuxing and other places in panic, and it was not until half a year later that the incident subsided.

What kind of official is Dong Qichang? At the highest time, when he was the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, this was a dignified second-class member, and it was the highest level of the entire ruling system of the entire Ming Dynasty except for the emperor, the first assistant of the cabinet, the second assistant and the third assistant.

But it was such a dignified second-class official, and the mansion was burned to the ground, and people were so scared that they didn't dare to go back.

This kind of behavior is not like breakfast, but it is also extremely bad.

So what happens to you in the end?

The case was finally tried by the three governments of Suzhou, Changzhou, and Zhenjiang, and it was believed that the incident of the Dong family being copied initially originated from the scholars, and finally ended with the people making a big disturbance, so the principle of punishment was that it was not stricter than the people, nor could it be lenient than the people.

The final decision: Lu Zhaofang, a student, was still deposed; Thirteen students who participated in the preaching, preaching, and co-ordinating in the unjust revelation were respectively caned leather, cane lowered, and cane punished; The leading figures of the people at the scene of the riot, Jin Liu, Wang Sheng and others, were beheaded; The scoundrels who robbed by fire, Hu Long, the head of the fighting team, and Zhu Guan, the flat snake, were all severely punished; Fan Qisong's father died unexpectedly, and the court was humiliated, and his family was forgivable; Dong Qichang's house was burned, there is no way to hold him accountable, he was robbed of his family assets, and he should be recovered, but it is no longer possible; Dong Zuchang's house was burned and looted, and he was temporarily exempted from further investigation.

That's it? Yes, that's it!

A dignified mansion of a second-class senior official was burned, and the family property was robbed, and it was over.

Although he also killed a few people, compared to the seriousness of this matter, it is not worth mentioning at all, and it does not matter!

What is particularly interesting is that among the people killed, there is not a single person who reads. Who are the dead? ruffians and hooligans, and ordinary people.

The above statements, about the causes, processes, and results, are clearly explained, and they seem to have no flaws, but in fact, they are missing an extremely important component - internal causes.

Why the Dong family and not someone else?

To tell the truth, in this era, which of these official eunuchs who enjoy all kinds of privileges is not rampant and domineering? Even if Lao Tzu is honest and humble, his children and grandchildren may not be like him, even if he himself does not protect him, the local officials will naturally be very face-saving, even if something happens, they will turn a blind eye.

It is true that Dong Qichang is too ruthless and unauthentic, but it is impossible to say that there is no one behind him.

This point, what is said in the history of the Ming Dynasty is quite pertinent.

"Supervising Huguang Xuezheng, not favoritism, resentment by powerful people, hundreds of people clamoring for Confucianism, and destroying his office."

In other words, when Dong Qichang was studying politics in Huguang, people greeted him and asked him to do something, but he ignored it, so he offended another wealthy family. This family is estimated to be very powerful, so they instigated some low-level and unwilling acquaintances to incite and agitate in front of Dong Qichang's door, and use the incident to provoke, and finally these scholars and the common people who were instigated by them conspired to burn down Dong Qichang's house.

It was the common people who did it, and it was the common people who were instigated, and it was the common people who died in the end.

Who instigated it? Glance.

Almost overnight, the whole city was plastered with notices, and who could have done it so efficiently and so quickly, except for those who had read and united with the local gentry?

Who else can those exaggerated and inflammatory articles come from? The people of the dynasty have always been very ordinary, who can incite so many people to make them almost crazy and reckless to storm the Dong Mansion? Only the squire plus the reader. No matter which province, which government, which state, or which county in the Ming Dynasty, the only people who have the right to speak and speak are the most convincing and authoritative people. Even in the villages, the scholars are usually the most prestigious.
