Chairman Mao called him the greatest poet of the Ming Dynasty, but he was beheaded because of Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicions

One day, Chairman Mao remembered a poem about plum blossoms but could not remember the verses, so he wrote a letter asking his secretary Tian Jiaying to find a collection of poems by The Song Dynasty Lin Kui for him.

After that, I remembered a seven-law poem, two of which were, "The snow is full of mountains in the high priest's bed, the moon is bright and the forest is beautiful" is YongMei's, but I can't remember when and who wrote it, I can't remember, I feel that Lin Kui wrote it, but Zha Lin's poetry collection was not found. So Chairman Mao wrote another letter to Tian Jiaying.

Not long after, I remembered that it might have been done by Gao Shiqi, a Qing dynasty. I only remembered the first four sentences: "Qiongzhi only closes in Yaotai, who plants everywhere in Jiangnan." Snow fills the mountains in the middle of the high priests, and the moonlight forest comes beautifully." Chairman Mao again wrote to Tian Jiaying and asked him to ask mr. Wen Shiguan.

Soon, Tian Jiaying found out the original poem and told Chairman Mao to the author.

Nine Plum Blossom Songs (Part 1)

Qiongzi is only in Yaotai, who planted everywhere in Jiangnan?

Snow fills the mountains in the high priests, and the moon is shining under the forest.

Cold shadows Xiao Xiao bamboo, spring cover the remnants of the desert moss.

Since going to He Lang there is no good chant, and the East Wind has been silent several times.

Subsequently, Chairman Mao wrote the whole poem in cursive, and wrote the word "Gao Qi" in a big way from the right, and also noted: "Zi Jidi, the greatest poet of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Gao Qi, the greatest poet of the Ming Dynasty, particularly fond of poetry throughout his life, and was good at writing poetry, and he was appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang because of his poetry, and also because of his poetry, he was jealous of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was also killed by Zhu Yuanzhang because of poetry.

In the last year of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and there were constant uprisings in various places, and the masses rose up to chase the deer in the Central Plains. The peasant revolt of the Red Turban Army led by Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui and others included Guo Zixing and Zhu Yuanzhang of Haozhou. Xu Shouhui was followed by Chen Youyu. There is also Fang Guozhen in eastern Zhejiang. There is also Zhang Shicheng in jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Gao Qizheng lives in Suzhou, Zhang Shicheng's territory.

At that time, Zhang Shicheng called himself King wu and occupied Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He adopted a policy of co-opting and appointing well-known and influential Yuan Dynasty officials and talents in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and attached importance to education and examination. At that time, Rao Jie, a political suffragist in Huainan Province of the Yuan Dynasty, was more well-known and influential, and his attitude towards Zhang Shicheng's Wu Guo was that Dumen (closed doors) did not come out, and Zhang Shicheng personally visited, with great courtesy, and appointed him as the governor of Huainan Province.

This Rao Jie was a famous literati and calligrapher at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, who liked poetry, was a man of great style, and had contacts with the junliu at that time. Hearing that Gao Qi, Gao Jidi was very talented and wrote poems well, so he sent people to invite people to the palace many times. He also published a propositional essay "Title Ni Yunlin Bamboo And Wood Diagram", which allowed Gao Qi to test him with a poem with "wood green song" as a rhyme.

Gao Qi was indeed a great talent, and replied casually, saying:

The owner was originally non-section dry wood, a scoop poured Xiao Xiang green.

Yueyuan is sorry for the wine in the bottle, and the drink is self-drumming without strings.

Rao Jie was greatly praised and honored as a guest, when Gao Qi was only sixteen years old.

Since then, Rao Jie summoned Gao Qi as a staff member, and Gao Qi stepped into his career.

Because Zhang Shicheng recruited famous scholars and gave preferential treatment to literati, intellectuals in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were attached to Zhang Shicheng in order to escape the war, and for a time, the literati gathered, the literary style flourished, Gao Qi was also among them, and the poetry name Was Maqi, and Together with Yang Ji, Zhang Yu, and Xu Ben at that time, they were collectively called "Wuzhong Four Jie", and were also known as the "Four Masters of the Early Ming Dynasty" by posterity.

Out

Zhu Yuanzhang rose rapidly under the advice of the strategist Zhu Sheng to "build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king", first defeating Chen Youyu, and then fighting with Zhang Shicheng, and by the nineteenth year of Zhengzheng (1359), Zhu Yuanzhang successively attacked and occupied all parts of eastern Zhejiang, and Zhang Shicheng's territory became smaller and smaller.

Gao Qi, who was in Zhang Shicheng's territory, also saw the situation, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were difficult to protect, and the reason why he chose to leave was his dislike of the officialdom. Because Gao Qi was a lonely man, Gao Gengjie, had an upright temperament, pursued the personality independence of the scholar and doctor, and could not be with the official scholar and the light, which made him tired of the government and fame and fortune.

He began to move towards "birth". At the age of twenty-three, he chose to live in seclusion, secluded in Qingqiu on the bank of the Wusong River, and gave himself a nickname, Qingqiuzi. Here, he lived a very leisurely life, chanting all day long, studying poetry, and composing "Qingqiu Zi Song" to laugh at himself.

Song of Qingqiu (excerpt)

Qingqiu Zi, Qing and Qing, was originally the Immortal Qing of The Five Clouds.

He Nian descended into the world, and did not know his surname and name to people.

The hobby is tired of traveling, and the hoe is lazy and ploughing.

There are swords that are rusty, and there are books that are vertical and horizontal.

He refused to bend his waist into five buckets of rice, and refused to drop his tongue under seventy cities.

But good for poetry, self-congratulatory self-reward.

In the first month of the first year of Hongwu (1368), the world was basically peaceful, zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, and the country was named Daming. In the same year, the new dynasty recruited talents from all over the world, including Gao Qi. At the age of thirty-two, Gao Qi re-entered the army and became the editor of the Hanlin Academy. Needless to say, Gao Qi's talent and learning were greatly appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he ordered him to teach the kings. At that time, the prince's teacher was named Wei Guan, and he also taught the kings, Gao Qi and Wei Guan became colleagues, and they both liked poetry and had a close relationship.

One day, the poetry-loving Gao Qi wrote a poem "The Picture of the Female Palace", which has two sentences, "The little dog barks in the air across the flowers, and who is forbidden in the palace at night?" As a result, it was copied and presented to Zhu Yuanzhang by people with ulterior motives, and implied that it was a satire on him. The suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang had a little suspicion of this Gao Qi.

In the third year of Hongwu (1370), Zhu Yuanzhang planned to appoint Gao Qi as the right attendant of Hubu, but as a result, Gao Gengsuke insisted on not accepting it and wanted to leave and return to hiding. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was wary of the literati in the areas ruled by Zhang Shicheng, because the local literati in the early Ming Dynasty generally missed Zhang Shicheng and called him "King Zhang", and Gao Qi's stubborn words further deepened Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicions.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy in his heart, it was also inconvenient to have a direct attack, in order to show that the new dynasty was enlightened, he measured greatly, and cherished talents, so he imitated the Tang Ming Emperor to give Jin Fang back to Li Baishi, and gave Jin Fang back to Gao Qi.

Gao Qi returned to Qingqiu, where he had lived in seclusion before, and he spent his days teaching as a profession, cultivating the fields and becoming self-sufficient, and living a pastoral life.

Died

In the fifth year of Hongwu (1372), Gao Qi's former colleague Wei Guan was appointed prefect of Suzhou. Wei Guan came to Suzhou and naturally thought of Gao Qi, Wei Guan knew that Gao Qi was a rare talent, so he moved his family to his side, and it was natural to see each other very happily, and then every morning and evening they would meet and talk freely.

Wei Guan came to Suzhou and did some practical things, he attached importance to education, improved the atmosphere, built school buildings, eliminated some harsh government, and achieved great results. Originally, he was going to be promoted to the province of Sichuan, but the people retained him, and the imperial court did not find a candidate to replace him for a while, so he had to stay with Wei Guan to continue to serve as the prefect of Suzhou.

By the seventh year of Hongwu (1374), Wei Guan decided to rebuild the mansion on the basis of Zhang Shicheng's old palace, and building houses according to local customs would generally be a ceremony, especially when the roof was the highest middle beam, usually wrote a blessing on the upper beam. Needless to say, Wei Guan naturally thought of Gao Qi, and he invited Gao Qi to write a "Liang Wen on the County's Governance", and everyone praised it after reading it. However, what he did not expect was that this matter was targeted by people with ulterior motives, and Wei Guan was falsely accused of having an anti-hearted intention and intending to rebel.

Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Wei Guan was repairing the mansion at the original site of Zhang Shicheng's old palace, and Gao Qi wrote another "Liang Wen on the County", which also contained the four words "Dragon Pan And Tiger Standing", and even dared to say that Zhang Shicheng's palace was a dragon pan and a tiger, and immediately became angry, Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion of Gao Qi was serious at this time, and his murderous heart was great, and he ordered Wei Guan to be killed and beheaded Gao Qi at his waist.

Before his execution, Gao Qi's apprentice Lü Mian came to send him off, and Gao Qi knew that he was fierce and could not escape Zhu Yuanzhang's palm, so he chanted a poem: "Fengqiao looks north at the grass, and nine of the ten pedestrians do not return", "Knowing that Qing Is not ashamed, I ask the Yangtze River to learn this heart."

At the time of the execution, Zhu Yuanzhang personally sat in the prison and watched the thirty-nine-year-old Gao Qi be beheaded to death.

The literati's lonely and high-ranking Gengjie, sitting on the Tao, fighting in court, and not being able to punish the doctor, could not withstand the imperial power and the monarch And the monarch and subject Gangchang who "the king calls the subject to die, and the subject has to die".
