Liao Zhai Zi is silent

Chapter 198

Although he planned to hurry to Beiping, when he arrived in Yangzhou, Lin Zhuoming still wanted to stay here for a while.

But I want to go to Meihua Ridge to pay my respects.

On Meihua Ridge is the tomb of Shi Kefa.

Although there is only a tomb of clothes on it.

Duoduo wrote five handwritten letters, urging Shi Kefa to surrender, but he didn't open any of them. Instead, he wrote suicide notes to his mother, wife, brother, etc. one by one.

He wrote in his suicide note to his wife: "Northern soldiers besieged Yangzhou on the [-]th. So far there has been no attack. However, people's hearts have gone and they can't clean up. Falun Gong will die sooner or later. I don't know if my wife will go with me? In such a world, life It's useless, it's better to make a decision early."

This kind of death to show one's will, generous sacrifice, is much more heroic than the leader of the literary world, the water is too cold.

Lin Zhuming admired him deeply, so he naturally wanted to go to worship.

In addition, the Guangzheng Stone Classics may be placed in Shi Kefa's ancestral hall to defend the souls of heroes and heroes of the Han family with the spirit of the Han family.

Until now, Qian Yongnian, the emperor ordered someone to write a "Biography of Two Officials", and many surrendered factions were included in it, but they left eternal infamy.

Instead, an ancestral hall was built for Shi Kefa, and the posthumous title "Zhongzheng" was given to him.

However, the ancestral hall was built for him because the rule was already stable. Therefore, Emperor Qian Yong also hoped that his courtiers would be loyal, devoted to the ground, and not be "second ministers". In fact, he hoped that all civil and military officials would be loyal dogs and slaves .

However, Shi Gong also has incense because of this, which is considered a good thing.

When Xu Biao heard that Lin Zhuming was going to visit Meihualing, he was in awe: "Shi Shangshu is loyal, but it's a pity..."

Lin Zhuming didn't go up the mountain in the daytime, but only waited for the night. Although Yangzhou has gone through a hundred years of cultivation, it is still somewhat lifeless.

Only at night is still a little angry, nothing more than birds chirping and insects chirping.

From the foot of the mountain, Lin Zhuming saw that the righteousness persisted forever, like a big river, encircling Meihua Ridge.

Plum blossoms are noble and pure in nature, so they are worthy of the loyalty of the green hills here.

Lin Zhuming thought of Prime Minister Wen, who worked hard all his life just to regain the mountains and rivers. Shi Gong's ambition was the same as Prime Minister Wen's, but unfortunately they all ended up in a mess and were unable to recover.

"No one in life has died since ancient times, and keep a loyal heart to reflect history."

"The emperor's road should be Qingyi, and Hanhe Tuming court. We will see you when the season is poor, and we will see you one by one."

Lin Zhuming touched the spirit, his sexual light sublimated, and immeasurable light was released from the visualized "sun" and "moon".

Even at night, you can see the road ahead clearly.

Liu Ding led the way with a ghost-fire lantern, and gradually led Lin Zhuoming into the junction of Yin and Yang.

It was a dilapidated ancient battlefield, an ancient city wall.

The ruins of the city wall left traces of cannon bullets, which are the traces of Hongyi cannons.

Many of the gaps can only be filled by large bags of sediment.

A middle-aged refined general was standing in this dead place, looking into the distance.

Lin Zhuming came forward to visit and bowed: "Student Lin Zhuming pays homage to the Master of Dongge, Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Ming Supervisor."

Shi Kefa glanced at Lin Zhuming, and said, "It's just a lost dog, what kind of Minister of the Ministry of War, a scholar."

The dilapidated scene of Yangzhou City instantly turned into a courtyard and three large tile-roofed houses.

When Lin Zhuming saw this place, he knew that it was the Yin Mansion manifesting, and he had been invited by Shi Gong to "inside the house."

It's just that there are other people inside, about 30 or [-] years old, who look burly and majestic.

Seeing Lin Zhuming, his eyes shined brightly: "It's like, it's so similar."

Shi Kefa said: "You only know that I have a loyal name, but you know them?"

But they introduced one by one: "This is Liu Zhaoji, the capital of the left governor. After the Manchu dynasty broke the city, he led 400 men who dared to die, killed more than 1000 enemies, and all died in street fighting. No one was greedy for life or afraid of death."

But after finishing speaking, Liu Zhaoji raised his chest and looked up, as if he was being called out and praised.

"This is Zhuang Zigu, the commander-in-chief, who led more than [-] men, under the banner of "serve the country with all his heart", fought to the death with the officers and soldiers of the Manchu Dynasty who entered the city, and no one was greedy for life or afraid of death."

"This is Ma Yingkui, the deputy general." He imitated Yue Wumu and wrote "serve the country with all sincerity" on his back. He wore a white robe to fight the enemy to the death. "

"This is Zhang Bojing, the right servant of the Ministry of War. After the city was broken, he was captured. To protect his integrity, he took the enemy's blade and killed himself."

"This is Ren Yumin, the magistrate of Yangzhou. After the city of Yangzhou was broken, his wife and family threw themselves into the well to protect their integrity. He was wearing an official uniform and sitting in the lobby of the magistrate with his official seal, waiting for him to occupy the yamen. die in the city."

The more Lin Zhuming listened, the more his hairs stood on end, as if something awakened on his body, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"There are more than 200 officials with names and surnames here, but there are millions of unnamed soldiers and common people..."

"I failed to keep the people of Yangzhou. I am a sinner. What face do I have...?"

"Why does Shi Gong think so?" Lin Zhuoming took out the Guangzheng Stone Classics and placed them in front of the hall. This faint Confucian device for suppressing luck was in harmony with the awe-inspiring righteousness of this place, and faintly, there was a "plum blossom fragrance" The integrity of coming from the bitter cold is engraved in this Meihua Ridge.

People who come here to look up in the future can feel the integrity of Shi Gong and be influenced by it.

Shi Kefa sighed: "I have a clear conscience, except for the millions of Yangzhou people."

The magistrate Ren Yuming next to him smiled wryly, "This is a concern of Lord Shangshu."

But he said: "Back then we were wandering lonely ghosts in the underworld, and we were conjured up to build a temple. Lord Shangshu wanted not to be sacrificed, but he was afraid that the spirit of the Han family would perish. After a hundred years, no one knew about it."

"However, I heard that the Confucian scholars who worshiped in the Manchu Dynasty even offered sacrifices to Duoduo. Because they were the heroes of the Manchu Dynasty, they whitewashed their killings and said: The tragedy in Yangzhou on the [-]th was caused by Lord Shangshu in one fell swoop."

"If Lord Shangshu surrenders to the Manchu Dynasty, or abandons the city and flees, even if he bears the infamy, he can still save the people of the city, just like Liu Chan back then."

"It is said that Lord Shangshu only cares about his own immortality and does not care about the lives of millions of Yangzhou people. If Lord Shangshu did not stick to Yangzhou and caused heavy losses to the army of the Manchu Dynasty, he would not have made Duoduo angry, brutally retaliated, and ordered the massacre of the city to vent his anger."

Ren Yuming snorted coldly and said: "His kind of kneeling and licking to praise the adults has no strength of character. Naturally, he is talking nonsense, but Lord Shangshu always feels that he has not guarded the city, and he feels guilty for the people of Yangzhou. He is often hurt by them again. .”

Lin Zhuming was angry when he heard this: "Why bother Shi Gong with this villain's words? Could it be that he can only beg for mercy, win favor, surrender on his knees, and give in with his hands?"

"If it's useful if it's afraid, if it's useful to please, then they should beg Manchu not to enter the customs, not to kill people, and make them happy by making their daughters and wives available to the savages to play with and trample on. Will they let them live?"

"It will only make progress! In all dynasties and dynasties, who didn't scare the aliens before they could stabilize the country. How come he turned black and white and confused right and wrong? Why should Shigong be angry with these stupid assholes?"
