Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 208 Qian Tang
I remember that there used to be a very common test question, probably classified, such as 'aircraft, sky', if it was 'submarine', it would correspond to 'ocean'.

So……

Topic: 'Tang Taizong, Wei Zheng', ask, 'Ming Taizu', who does it correspond to?

The answer Zhu Yuan gave was 'Qian Tang'.

Qian Tang, a native of Xiangshan County, Mingzhou Prefecture, has historical records that in the first year of Hongwu, Qian Tang was called to Beijing, and Lao Zhu was very satisfied with his policy and questioning.

All this is just the beginning of Qian Tang, who has a "stiff" character in history.

Later, Lao Zhu was dissatisfied with the words in Mencius's theory that "the emperor regards the people as worthless, and the people regard the emperor as a bandit".

Qian Tang Kangshu came to remonstrate and said: "I died for Meng Ke, and I will have more glory in death."

This is official history.

Unofficial legends became even more popular. Lao Zhu threatened who would dare to oppose, and directly asked the guards to shoot him to death. Qian Tang carried the coffin into the palace to die and remonstrated. He was shot like a hedgehog and still refused to give in.

In the end, Lao Zhu compromised and kept Mencius's sacrificial specifications, and only asked people to modify "Mencius" to delete some words he didn't like.

However, the revised "Mencius Jiewen" did not spread at all.

Scholars in the world don't recognize it.

The second incident recorded by Qian Tang in the official history is that Lao Zhu hung a portrait of Wu Zetian in the palace in his later years. Get out and be punished.

Qian Tang spent a day and a night outside the Meridian Gate, but Lao Zhu still compromised. Not only did he take off the portrait of Wu Zetian, but he also gave Qian Tang food to appease him.

In Zhu Yuan's opinion, the most interesting thing about these two incidents is that one happened in the early years of Hongwu, and the other happened in the last years of Hongwu.

It can be said that a guy who would make Lao Zhu anxious at every turn, faced an emperor who was actually very bloodthirsty, and even ran across the entire Hongwu Dynasty.

This is a miracle!
What does this show?

It is worth pondering.

It's a pity that there were good stories about emperors and ministers like Tang Taizong and Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, except for those who paid more attention to the history at that time, almost no one else knew about it.

present.

The campus of Jinling University is located in a meeting hall halfway up the red mountain on the west side. Zhu Yuan is looking at a middle-aged man in his 50s who is dressed in plain clothes and hemp shoes.

While reminiscing about the past memories, what he thinks at the moment is that Qian Tang actually has another identity.

Qian Liu's descendants.

The Qian family.

Zhao Qian, Sun Li's 'Qian', and, even a few hundred years later, the Qian family can be regarded as prominent, with frequent appearances of 'National Scholars'.

Standard millennium family.

Ok.

There is also the famous Qian's iron coupon.

Since it is going to be a museum, perhaps, this thing can be fished over.

Lao Zhu was talking with a group of selected local celebrities, and he glanced at a middle-aged man in cloth and hemp shoes, because before Zhu Yuan had time to say more, he only gave a "strength order" evaluation, which caused A little butterfly effect.

At first glance, Lao Zhu didn't like it very much.

The theory is also very simple.

Everyone else dresses decently, but you, a commoner with hemp shoes, are too deliberate and artificial.

Lao Zhu advocated frugality and set an example, but more than once he mercilessly criticized his courtiers for pretending to be simple in front of him.

Ok.

As for how to judge whether it is intentional and artificial, there is no standard.

Probably depends on the mood.

Like this time.

Zhu Yuan also quickly realized that it was not normal for Lao Zhu to talk to many other scholars very kindly, but kept ignoring Qian Tang, so he couldn't help turning his head to look upward.

resignedly.

His ancestors did not speak, Zhu Yuan, as a junior, was not suitable for taking the initiative to start a conversation. It was not until after drinking a few cups of tea that Lao Zhu finally turned to someone: "Er...Qian Tang, where is he from?"

Qian Tang, who was sitting behind the long table on the right side of the hall, gave a slight salute before replying: "Your Majesty, a native of Xiangshan County, the prefecture of Caomin Mingzhou."

"Mingzhou..." Old Zhu glanced at Zhu Yuan, and then turned around: "Yuan once worked in Mingzhou, and he also recruited talents. Why don't you go to serve?"

Qian Tang was neither humble nor overbearing, neither in a hurry nor slow, and said: "What Pingzhang did, the grassroots paid attention to it, which can be said to be beneficial to the country and the people, but there are also many things that the grassroots find difficult to recognize. I'm afraid that I won't be able to serve my life, but I will be hindered by Pingzhang."

False!

After all, Lao Zhu can't understand how strong Zhu Yuan just said that the "strength order" will be. Is it "stronger" than Liu Ji? His own precious 23rd generation grandson even Liu Ji's son who is also not good at oil and salt has used it well. , still be afraid of you?

Here Lao Zhu is still brewing, but Qian Tang has already continued: "Your Majesty, based on what the grassroots have seen recently, you are too protective of Pingzhang. I am afraid that letting his arrogance be allowed to become a disaster in the future."

"Disrespectful!" Old Zhu was suddenly unhappy: "You are white, how dare you put your beak like this?"

"What the grassroots say is the axiom of the world," Qian Tang immediately said to him this time, "Your Majesty judges his remarks based on his birth, this is not the act of a Mingjun!"

Old Zhu: "..."

Heartbeat a little faster.

Zhu Yuan: It's over, the good story may be gone.

Seeing that Lao Zhu was about to blow his beard, Zhu Yuan had no choice but to take the initiative to say: "My ancestor, Yuan'er is in Mingzhou... It is true that some actions are not in line with the time, and Mr. Qian is right. However, if he could find me at that time and propose Come out, maybe I will change it too, this is his fault."

Old money, I am helping you.

Shut up!
Old Qian didn't shut up, and he turned his back on him: "Pingzhang's personality is too smooth, he's just a teenager, it shouldn't be like that."

Zhu Yuan: "..."

Ancestor, I don't care, just do what you like.

However, when Lao Zhu heard this, he suddenly laughed and turned to Zhu Yuan: "That's true, that's what you are... not too good."

Zhu Yuan bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Old Zhu turned to Qian Tang again: "I'm not a person who doesn't listen to words, you... well, wait for the results to come out, right now, I will reward you with a winter coat first, and don't pretend to be so shabby in the future."

Qian Tang thanked: "Your Majesty's reward, Cao Min dare not refuse, but Cao Min is not an artificial, Cao Min is here only for practice."

Old Zhu became interested: "You are a Confucian scholar, how can you practice like that monk?"

Qian Tangdao: "The grassroots people cultivate their hearts, and the Confucianists have their own heart." There is a saying in "Mencius": riches and honors cannot be promiscuous, poverty cannot be moved, and might cannot be subdued. As Fan Zhongyan said in "Yueyang Tower", don't be happy with things, don't be happy with things. I am sad. This is what the grassroots stick to."

Lao Zhu felt that something made sense, and asked: "What does this have to do with whether or not you wear good clothes?"

"There is a saying in "Han Feizi·Yu Lao": An embankment of a thousand feet will be destroyed by an ant's den; a room of a hundred feet will be burned by smoke from a gap." Qian Tang said again: "The grassroots start with a small one, so as to prevent the small ones from dying. "

This is "Mencius", "Yueyang Tower" and "Han Feizi", Lao Zhu finally has some approval.

This...should be a really cultured person.

So he nodded, and wanted to say something on impulse, thinking about it or waiting for the results to come out, not in a hurry.

I also registered this person in my heart.

Afterwards, he continued to chat with other scholars, and did not leave with Zhu Yuan until near noon.
